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.

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.

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.

OGDEN EDWAKD SAWYER Four years ago this ambitious son of Last Providence forced his way across the Seekonk, and pushed on to our colossal institute. Even though he does come from East Providence, “Denny” has in his possession an Honor Society Pin, and many friends. He attends all the school socials, and although sometimes lie isn’t dancing, we all know that he would like to throw his banjo away, and whirl around the hall with a certain young lady. “Denny” intends to climb to the school on the hill next fall, where he will fit himself to be a second Lindbergh.

MARCELLA GRACE SCHNEIDER To all she is loving and kind A better friend you never will find And though you roam this wide world through You never will find a friend more true. The words above express our tribute to Marcella. She has a calm and reserved manner which kept her classmates from knowing her at first. Marcella stands high in all her subjects, especially in “math.” Her future is undecided, but whatever it may be we know that she will succeed. R. I. Honory Society; French Club. ’26, '27, '28; Debating Society, ’27. ’28; Hockey. DORIS ELIZABETH SCOWCROFT “DOT” Hair of gold. Eyes of blue, A loving smile. That’s “Dot” for you. “Dot” has won the love and admiration of her fellow students because of her fun loving, strong, line char- acter. Her favorite subject is domestic art. She in- tends to enter Pratt Institute, in New York in the fall. We all regret that “Dot’s” four years at Tech are ended. All her classmates believe, that whatever her profession, she will be successful.
