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.

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.

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.”

48 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 CHRISTY RUTCHO The rumble of the World War had just settled. A great multitude of people over there had just found out about the promised land, “America.” Many boat loads of people bad come to America, and among them Rutcho, who braved the perils of the unknown, and who by and with the hand of Providence found himself in Beacon Avenue School, unable to speak English, and without any parents. A spirit and determination char- acterized his later life and still prevails in this likeable chap who has won one of the greatest battles of life. We all know he will succeed, because he is a smiling lad of determination. Here’s to Christy and his future work at Providence College Pre-Dental School. JAMES ROBERT SADLIER Hark! Who can that he making so much commotion in the hack of the room? Why that’s none other than our happy-go-lucky little friend “Red” up to some new mischief. This young chap came to us from Saint Patrick’s Grammar and has fascinated many a youth and many a maid of Tech with his well known bass voice. Although not athletically inclined, he always has supported the financial end of the teams. Since coming to Tech “Red” has not missed a student dance or social. How’s that for a record, girls? After graduation, we expect to see “Red in the business field of adventure. Glee Club, ’25, '26, '27, '28; Glee Club Social Committee, ’28; Vice President, '27; Home Room Representative, ’28; Cleft Club, '27, ’28. ARTHUR SALTZMAN “Art” Should there ever he a contest for the greatest num- ber of times a student can he tardy, “Art” would re- ceive first prize. But Arthur has won other merits by proving himself a wizard mathematician and a prodigy in chemistry. He is the only hoy who can smile at a difficult problem. Although “Art” has not taken part in any activities, he has contributed generously to their support. R. I. State will he Arthur’s next stop. Chemistry Team. STUART ANTHONY SAMPSON “Buzzy” Ha! Ha! Ha! This merry laugh can he heard any- time of the day. Its owner is “Buzzy.” the class merry- maker. Tech gained when Laurel Hill Avenue lost Stuart. Of course he has a regiment of friends, and of course he has attended our socials. Lunch he craves for and botany and biology also. Stuart is undecided as to his future, hut may later on he heard of as a great salesman for some business concern. Baseball, ’27, ’28.
