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.

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.

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.

1928 THE TECH REVIEW 45 MARY CARMINE PONTARELLI That “petite brune” who looks so aflfable? Why that’s little Miss Mary, a charming young lady who has the most delightful dimples. Have you ever heard her play the mandolin? You haven’t? Well, you cer- tainly have missed a real treat. Mary says that French and history are most alluring, hut we all feel sure that her Italian class is most enjoyable. Mary intends to enter R. I. C. E. in the fall and soon she will he teaching the “three R’s” to “those dear chilluns.” Italian Club, '27. BEATRICE BEULAH POTTER “Be” A hurst of glee, laughing eyes, and curly hair, charac- terize our “Be.” Her banter and her captivating in- dividuality have been the causes of “Bc’s” popularity among both the “lies” and the “shes.” She never misses a social or student dance. Next fall. Brown will re- ceive “Be” with open arms. Best of luck, dear pal!

RILLES EDITH POULTNEY “Rill” Here we present our own dear “Rill. Rillcs does not attend many of our socials or student dances, hut she has a great interest in her class. She has always assisted towards our quotas with her five cents per. When you are downcast and need a laugh, just go to “Rill” and ask for the latest joke or for some experi- ence of hers, and if you don’t laugh, yours is a pretty serious case. Rilles is going to join the other artists at the School of Design. Art Club, 3B. FRANCES ADELINE RAYMOND A ripple of laughter! A giggle or two, and in comes our classmate “Frim.” She is dainty and a hit coy, but you have oifly-to me'efc Jaer casually to realize that she is earnest andl caj rMe. “Frim,” although not athleti- cally inclined 7has been an enthusiastic contributor to the Community Chest. In the near future, “Frim” will lighten some business man’s labors, for she intends to take a business course at Bryant Stratton’s College.
