1928 THE TECH REVIEW DOROTHEA MAYHEW STOCKWELL “Dot” Here we present Dorothea, our representative from Edge wood. “Dot” came to us four years ago from Broad Street Grammar School. We often wonder when “Dot” does her studying as she is never over- burdened with books, but she ably passes in all her subjects as will he seen by her Honor Society pin. “Dot” belongs to the well known “Three Musketeers” and may be met at all times with her pals “Bet” and “Flossy”. We expect to find her at Elmira College next year. R. I. Honor Society; Field Hockey, '24; Volley Ball, ’25: Basketball, '28; Tech Review Board, '26, '27, '28; Advertising Manager, ’28. OTTO GEORGE STRUNZ “Peewee” Well! Well! Here is our jocund friend “Peewee.” Otto came to Tech four years ago from “the little red school house,” alias Vineyard Street Grammar School. Since then, lie has supplied us with multifold diversion by his timely jokes and quips. “Peewee” is generally accompanied to school by his trusty cornet. In a cross country meet he can be seen chasing the other fellows around the course. His favorite subject is commercial drawing in which he excels. “Peewee” intends to further his education at some art school where we are sure he will prosper. Freshman Orchestra, '24.

JOHN JOSEPH SULLIVAN “John L” Here we have a reminder of the great John L. Sul- livan. Yes, John has that pugilistic appearance, hut he is as gentle as a lamb. “Sully” surely must have plenty of adventures as he is always telling strange stories to his classmates. He claims English and mathe- matics are his favorite subjects. Although John seldom carries any books his averages arc all high. We can always find him with Kelman, his “fellow countryman.” In the fall “John L.” will journey down to Kingston where he will study engineering.

GLADYS ELIZABETH SWANSON Four years ago “Glad” strolled through the doors of lech, fresh from Sackett Street Grammar School. Since that time, she has done well in her studies, she likes history and geometry best. “Glad” also excels in sports. She is particularly fond of basketball, and she has played hard for the Crimson T. After a course at the Posse-Xisscn School of Physical Education, she intends to take up corrective work in hospitals. Basketball, '25, '26, 28; Hockey, ’25; French Club, ’27.

52 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 MELVILLE CLARK SPEAR “Mel” Seeing that the town of Westerly was not lively enough for him “Mel” came to Providence and decided that Tech was the school in which to further his edu- cation. W hile assimilating knowledge herein, “Mel” has been sociable, and neglectful of neither sex. He has not displayed athletic superiority, hut has given his quota to budgets. “Mel” may he seen anytime with “Al”. Although not studiously inclined he has always passed his subjects. “Mel” claims mechanical drawing as his favorite subject. After graduation “Mel” plans to enter architectural business, (iood luck to you, “Mel.” ALICE MARION SPENCER “Al” “To have and to hold.” “Al” is one that finds this motto easy to abide by, in regard to her friendship with others. We realize “Al” has countless friends, but her special is “Dot” with whom she strolls leisurely along having a confidential chat or planning some social event. “To know her is to love her.” “Al” came to us from Last Providence High three short years «ago. “Al” is a very lively girl outside the class room. JOSEPH STANLEY “Rang, hang, chug, boom! Don’t become alarmed, you hear Joe starting his Lizzie. Joe has taken no active part in athletics, hut has been a staunch advocate of them all. Although he seldom carries home all his books, he passes in all his subjects with a good margin. His sensible and humorous remarks have tested the rcsibilitics of many a class. Joe has not decided upon his future yet, but some day we hope to hear of him as a prominent engineer. HARVEY BROWN STEERE A rather quiet, unassuming, studious sort of chap is this young man who hails from Chepachet. Because of other interests we have not seen Harvey «at the socials and athletic events although his thoughts were always with us and he has given generous financial support. Of a genial disposition Harvey found it easy to acquire many good friends as well as good marks. When Har- vey departs to enter the business world, and in the future perhaps to become mayor of Chepachet, Tech can he justly proud of him.

54 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 DOROTHEA MARIE SWIFT “Swifty” It was a lucky day for Tech when George J. West sent us “Dot.” “Dot” is one of Tech’s brightest rays of sunshine, full of mischief and able to forget herself in serving others. She has always been a generous supporter of the community chest and has graced all socials. Her favorite studies are chemistry and domes- tic art. “Dot” will share her sunshine in the future making some convalesant better at the Rhode Island Hospital. Hockey, ’24, ’25, ’26, ’27. NELSON CARR TALLMAN Brethren, gaze upon this solemn looking person. Do you recognize him? Well, I guess you do because every- one does. “Tall” is a very quiet young man but yet he has made many friends because of his pleasant dis- position and his attendance at the socials. His favorite subjects are in the mechanical department. We expect to see him enter the business world next year and wish him the greatest success. EARNEST K. TAPNER Here he is, “Earnie” Tapner, one of the popular members of our class. “Tap” came to us from Peace Street Grammar School. His expressive contenance has caused us to like him. “Tap” can be seen most any day making a spirited dash across Summer Street with his two pals, “Brad” and “Dek,” trying to make Eng- lish class on time with an armful of books and a half devoured ham sandwich. Next year, will find “Tap” down in Durham, North Carolina, attending classes at Duke University. Basketball, '26, ’27, Manager: Swimming, ‘26, Manager: Com- munity Chest Fund, '27. WILFRED B. TATRO “Bill” Gentle readers let us introduce “Bill”. Who in Tech does not know him? Four years Tech has had the pleasure of his company and in this time “Bill” has shown himself to be a “regular fellow.” His witticisms have been thoroughly appreciated by all his classmates with whom he is a favorite. “Tate” as he is sometimes called, is a star on our football team and is also active in other sports. He claims electricity as his favorite study. After graduation, he will go forth to win the success that we know awaits him. Football, 26, ’27; Track, ’28; Baseball, ’28.
