1928 THE TECH REVIEW 43 JAMES A. PARKER Here comes one of the quiet ( ?) members of our class, “Jim” Parker. . “Jim” is the fellow who can always be seen dishuigr out ice cream at the French Club. The stack i[T) oi books that Jim brings home daily is probablrjthe caunt of the enviable record that he has made d rnng his “giind” at Tech. Since “Our Jimmie’ daJms English and French as his most dear subjects dofaiot be surprised dear reader, if in the future you shouldVmvppen to hear of “Professor Jim Parker.” French ClufexST, ’28. PAULINE PARRILLO And now dear readers, ve present Pauline, one of the gentle members $.izs K class. She is always in- tent on doipg ffitligs exactly right JEhere are few who djyorbt know and like Her rsKe has a most pleas- in tnanner. As far a e know, her chief indoor sports are playffig pi'attks and dancing. Algebra, she claims is her favorite subject. Her plans for the future are rather unsettled yet; however, we wish her success in whatever profession or vocation she may choose. French Club, ’26. ’27, ’28; Hockey, '27; Tennis, '25, ’26. DOROTHY HARRIET PEARSON “Dottie” “Suddenly the cloud of darkness left my brain; A velvet bar of sunshine pierced the room, And in that mellow glory aureoled She stood, she stood, all golden in its gold.” You can always tell when “Dottie” has had an en- joyable evening, because on the following morning she is lively and full of fun. She is keenly interested in dress-making. Her future is to he unfolded, and may all its pages record the prosperity and happiness she deserves. , ETTA ALMEDA PEARSON None know her but to admire her; none name her but to praise. “Et” is droll, good company, unselfish; and furthermore has real zeal in regard to books. She has an unassuming manner and her even disposition will always make her a desirable associate. During her four years at Tech, she has gained a fine record in all her subjects. We all know “Et’s” love for music and how well she “tickles the ivories;” so we are sure she will succeed in her future study. Good luck, dear pal! French Club, '26, '27; Freshman Tennis, ’24.

42 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 ELVER A MUSSO “Ve” “Vera” “Silence reigns here no more, Vera’s coming through the door.” What would happen if “Ve” were seen without her permanent smile. No one can he lonely when “Ve” is around. Besides l cing a well known contributor to the community chest she is very popular at all our socials and “good times.” “Ve” excels in chemistry and Italian. She has many attractions for the other sex, judging from the attention she receives. “Ve” has not revealed her future, but everyone knows she will make good. “Good Luck.” Italian Club, ’27, '28; Ring Committee. HELEN LOUISE OGLEY “Billie” Is there anyone who does not know our Helen? If there is. let him step right up for an introduction to one of the winning girls of the class. “Billie” is as jolly as can he and is always eager to share her happi- ness. Helen has attended all of our socials and student dances. Did you know that Helen likes uniformed men? Oh, yes, she does! After graduation, Helen will attend the Katherine Gibbs Secretarial School. Dramatic Club, '27. '28; Class Editor, ’27. ALICE LOUISE O’HARE “Al” Alice now “enters into the picture.” She is a comely maiden with an arch glance. She enjoys a good time, but she appreciates good marks to the extent of ob- taining them. Although Alice was out of school for six months, she has kept up with the class. She has her circle, a wide one as you might observe at our socials. She has been a regular depositor in the Community Cbest. After leaving Tech, Alice intends to enter R. I. C. E. and in the future we may sec her teaching the 3 R’s. French Club, ’26, '27. ’28. HAROLD PALOULIAN “Hail! Paloulian, Hail! our future Governor.” No, this is not a modern version of Macbeth, but a title bestowed upon our friend Harold by Mr. Cushman. Four years ago “Governor” entered Tech to absorb that which our beloved institution attempts to donate to its students. The “Governor” being an excellent student in the study of French, may be elected as an Ambas- sador to France in the future. Harold came to this country seven short years ago. His ability to con- centrate enabled him to follow the long road of suc- cess. After graduation, “Governor” will decide his future. Soccer, ’24, ’25, '26, ’27; Glee Club, ’25, '26, ’28; Track. ’24, ’25, '26; French Club, ’25, ’26.

44 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 AMERIGO A. PELLINI “When you have read, you carry away with you a memory of the man himself: it is as though you had touched a loyal hand, looked into brave eyes, and made a noble friend.” These lines of Stevenson's could well apply to our friend Pellini. There is no one in the school by whom he is not liked and respected. Besides being in the Honor Society and on the track team, he possesses the single honor of earning a straight “A” report for one year. After graduation, Brown will be his next stop. Honor Society; French Club; Tech Rkvikw Board, ’28; Track, ‘25, '26, '27, '28; Soccer, ’24, '25, ’26, ’27; Class Basket- ball, ’27. FEDELE PERRI Four short years ago Tech opened its arms to receive the amiable Fred Perri. During his stay here Fred has gained numerous friends through his good nature. Although Perri is not athletically inclined, he has al- ways helped to finance sports. Socials and student dances do not attract Fred because of outside activities. Perri is undecided as to his future, but as his interest is centered on business, we shall hope to hear from him in later years as manager of some leading concern. H ARMANDO PERRY Watch girls, here comes the bashful “shiek,” other- wise known as the irresistible lover. “Shiek” can also he regarded as the source of many a joke and hearty laugh in 3-5. Although quite a favorite with the feminine sex he can also swing a wicked leg in Soccer. It was largely due to his successful managing that the Soccer Team again won the State Championship. At 2:30 P. M.. he can he seen at his locker tucking his books for a rest until 8:30 A. M., but still he passes unhesitatingly in classes. For the future, sport writing tends to be our hero's ambition. Soccer. '25, '26: Basketball, '27, ’28; Home Room Representa- tive, 3B, 3A; Glee Club, '25, ‘26; Spanish Club, ’26. 27. EDNA ELIZABETH PIERCE Ed Sweetest of the Sweet, and a treat to meet—is the only adequate description of our “Ed.” Many arc her friends. Enemies, she has none. She and “Dot” are constantly together. In fact “Ed” wishes her sur- name began with S, so that she might be near “Dot” in the Tech Review. She is an excellent scholar, but can always spare a mischievious glance where there is any fun. She attends all her school functions, and makes the mercury rise when it comes to her share in supporting her school teams. She is thinking seriously of entering Pratt Institute, New York, in the fall.
