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.”

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.

1928 THE TECH REVIEW 47 MARION EUGENIA ROSS Engaging and full of animation. Marion is one of the most widely known members of the Senior Class. Her sweet smile and warm sincerity have contributed greatly in winning for her many friends. Marion’s cleverness and ability are marveled at. Her school-girl complexion and brown eyes are the boast of her class- mates. Her Honor Society pin shows the record she has always maintained. In the future, Marion will compete for more honors at Katherine Gibbs Secretarial School. Student Dance Committee, 4A; R. I.

REM I S. ROY “Rem” Crash! Bang! Sock! Yep, that’s “Rem” manipulating with his skillful technique on his drums at the Student Dances. Besides being on artistic drummer, Roy is a fine scholar. He claims chemistry and biology his fa- vorite studies. After graduation, Roy will be bound for the City of Detroit, where lie intends to enter into business, probably manufacturing automobiles; so don’t be surprised if some day you hear of a “Roy’s Royce.” Senior Orchestra, ’25, ’26, '27, ’28; French Club, 27; Senior Day Orchestra, '27.

He is that tall quiet blonde who came to Tech from the Asa Messer School. It has been whispered about that he is also very bashful, but we have reason to doubt that statement. How about it “Lou”? The trio, “Ed,” “Nick.” and “Lou” are always seen dashing to class. Outside duties have hindered “Lou” from entering into sports, but not from being a Royal good fellow. He is undecided as to his future, hut we all wish him the best of luck. AMERICO JOSEPH RUFFO Well, after working for one year, RutTo decided that school was the best thing after all. Four years ago, he came to Tech and has won many friends, during his stay to acquire knowledge. Although he has not taken part in many of the social activities, he has been busy in burning the cinder track at Roger Williams Park. His favorite subjects are algebra, history, and Italian. His future is undecided, but we expect him to go in quest of the Cap and Gown next fall at some higher institution of learning.
