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.

1928 THE TECH REVIEW 49 ANTHONY SARASINO Kind friends, let us introduce to you Anthony “Sara- zen” Sarasino. 'This jolly, good-natured fellow came to us four years ago from Esek Hopkins Grammar School. During his stay at Tech, lie has contributed his musical abilities to the school orchestra and lias “tickled the ivories.” for the “Tech’s Jazz.opators. Aside from his musical abilities, mathematics and mechanical drawing are his future problems which lie will analyse at Lynn next fall. School Orchestra. ’25, ’26. '27. ’2.1; Tech’s Jazzopators. ’25, ’26; Italian Club, ’27. 28; Senior Day Orchestra, ’22. 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.

1928 THE TECH REVIEW 51 HARRY DAVIS SMITH If anyone should happen to hear a voice clown at the end of the corridor exclaim, “Well, here’s another one,” he would nine times out of ten know who it was. It would be “Smithy”, of course, and one of his extremely witty jokes. Harry returned to Tech after having graduated from a Junior high school in Los Angeles. California. He declares that mechanical drawing and French are his preferred subjects. Harry expects to leave these superior halls of fame and education, and go right into the business world. Let’s wish him heaps of good luck! NORMA SMITH “Tommy” is known to her classmates as the cham- pion gum chewcr. Since she entered Tech in ’24 this habit has involved her in more or less trouble with the teachers. But in general “Tommy” is well liked and can claim nearly all of the class as her friends. No one has ever seen her studying, but she always manages to come out with more than passing grades. With her happy smile and carefree nature, Norma is sure to be a success in her chosen vocation, and as she leaves Tech she has the best wishes for future happiness from her classmates and friends. Glee Club, 26, '27. EVA HELEN SODERBERG Eva is attractive, companionable and ingenuous. She came to Tech from Classical High School two years ago and has never regretted the change. Because of her good nature and kindliness she has made many lasting friends here at Tech. Eva’s satellite is Ellen. All her report cards indicate a good standing in all her studies. Eva intends to enroll at the Rhode Island Hospital in the fall to become a nurse. DAVID SOREN “Dave” “Well! Well! Here is our old friend “Dave.” Four years ago “Dave” came to us from the wilds of Sackett Street Grammar School. He has attended most of the socials and although he has not taken an active part in athletics he has ever been ready to render financial aid. “Dave” has gained many friends during his happy stay at Tech and we surely will miss his smiling coun- tenance about the school. He intends to continue his education at the State of Michigan University where he will study structural engineering.
