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.

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.

46 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 MARY MARGARET REARDON Let me tell you about Mary. She and “Dot” are confidantes. During her sojourn at Tech, she has added many links to her chain of friendship and ob- tained a gooch rating. on Her reports. She likes history and English immensely. Mary’s presence at our socials has bein noted and although site hasn’t “gone out for any sports she ha staptoclily supported the Community Chcfct l J 1 r EJmng Tech, Mary will at- tend some college where she will be enlightened in business methods. We may, in the near future, see Mary a speed typist. LESLIE MONTGOMERY REID “Reidy” Two years ago Leslie Reid, better known as “Reidy,” came to us from “the big Town of Hopkinton.” Since then, he has gained many friends through his frank good-natured ways. He is forever playing practical jokes on the fellows and if there is a commotion during the 12:30 lunch period “Reidy” is usually the innocent cause. “Reidy” has not been able to participate in athletics due to his living so far from the school, but he has attended most of our socials and supported the teams whole-heartedly. Good luck, “Reidy”! French Club, ’28; Dramatic Club, ’28. RUTH RICHARDSON Ruth is another girl with laughing eyes, who came to us four years ago from the Thayer Street Grammar School. Her lips are ever ready to part in a smile and her cheeks dimple in accompaniment. She has a quick intelligence and a responsive friendliness. She is a loyal participant in class and school spirit and we wish her the best. Her hobby is talking, and that she can do. Ruth leaves us with her future undecided at present. WILLIAM HENRY ROMER “Bill” “Bill” came to Tech from Laurel Hill Avenue Gram- mar School. During those memorable four years at Tech. “Bill”’ has made hundreds (more or less) of friends. Although not studiously inclined, “Bill” has managed to make the grade. “Bill” says he likes shop- work and mathematics better, and we all think that he likes the fair sex best. “Bill” is a member of the “Silent Sextet” and is seldom seen without “Ernie.” “Bill’s” future is undecided, but we feel sure that the world will hear from him. Good luck, “Bill.”
