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.

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.

50 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 REMIRA SCUSSEL It is our happy priviledge to introduce Remira, big in the liearts of her classmates. During her three and one half years’ stay here, Remira has made many friends. She has little to say, but a glance at the honor roll reveals her name! She is ever ready to do a good turn. Remira intends to teach the three R’s and we hope she continues her good record. We wish her the best of luck when she enters R.I.C.E. next fall. R. I. Honor Society. ANNA MARY SHANLEY There is no need to introduce this genial miss. Her savoir fairc and charm have gained for her a legion of friends during her four years’ sojourn at Tech. She has attended all the socials and student dances where she has been in great demand. “Ann” is undecided about the future, but we know that whatever she under- takes to do. she will be successful. Good luck, “Ann”!

RUTH ELEANORE SIMMONS Ruth is a quiet girl, did you say? Well—maybe— but she can be rather a noisy one, too. She is about as happy-go-lucky as anyone we know, (and she thinks it’s not much of a feat to have five A’s on one report). She can parlcs-vous tres Hen, is a shark at chemistry, and a wonder in drawing. I could say she has many friends (she has, indeed), a wonderful disposition (sometimes), is an angel in all of her classes (all?); but you would say, “That’s just like every other per- sonal. That wouldn’t do, because Ruth isn’t like every other girl. R. I. Honor Society; French Club, '26, '27, '28; Secretary, '28: Tech Review Beard, '27, '28. SELMA RAE SMIRA “Sel” She may be tiny but—oh! my! It doesn’t seem pos- sible that all the energy Selma has could be bottled up in her small being. One glance at her list of activities will tell you just how popular she really is. Our student dances owe much of their success to her. All those who really know “Sel,” and they are many, cannot help but love her. All of her friends join in wishing her the best of luck.
