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.

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. '25; Senior Orchestra, '27, '28; Band, '27, '28; Art Club, '25, '26, 27 ; Treasurer, '26; Dramatic Club, '27, 28; Track, ’26; Cross-Country, '27. 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. Glee Club, ’26, '27, '28; Librarian, '27, 28; Tennis, '26, '27, '28; Manager, '27, '28; Tech Band, '27; French Club, ’26, '27. 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.

1928 THE TECH REVIEW 55 FRANK GEORGE TAYLOR “For he’s a jolly good fellow” is the phrase which explains the popularity of Frank, our joy seeking class- mate. He and “Sheik.” known as the “Siamese Twins,” are always thinking up schemes to promote some mis- chief. Frank has been a valuable asset to the baseball teams of Tech. When it comes to concentrating on studies, Frank is right there. He is also a musician, as he can surely fiddle the violin. His all-round like- ability is the big factor in winning friends. After graduation Frank will continue his education. EDWARD O. TIERNEY We take pleasure in presenting our “pal” and class- mate, “Ed” Tierney. “Ed” has been our friend and companion for four long years and during that time he has pursued the even tenor of his way, acting always as l efits a gentleman, and quietly gaining the esteem of his teachers and the good-fellowship of his class- mates. During “Ed’s” high school course he, “Lon,” and “Nick,” have been the best of “pals”. The camera bears witness that “Ed” is attractive, but he’s shy, and thus far girls have not attracted him. We heartily wish Ed success when he enters Providence College to begin the first lap of his Dental Career. MARGARET ELIZABETH TILLINGHAST “Betty” Let us introduce you to another little girl “Bet’s” motto is “Happiness.” Her’s is the smile that won’t come off. “Betty” is one of the honored memlxirs of the “Three Musketeers.” If you miss “Bet” you will I surely find her strolling down the spacious ( ?) cor-1 n ridors of Tech with her “pals” “Dot” and “Flossy.” | “Bet” makes good in all her subjects and next year we j hope to find her at Posse-Nissen School of Physical Education.

ABRAHAM TORGEN “Abe”—Torgc—can be seen walking down Broad Street to school—walking—my, my—what a stride— or waiting for some high powered car to rush him to school. The U. E. R. can’t say that “Honest Abe” has passed any oxidized cartwheels for trolley rides to school because the Tech lunch room gets his coins for “Abe” must satisfy his sweet tooth—teeth. Although outside interest has prevented his attendance at the socials and games, he has been a lusty rooter for Te:h athletes and has liberally contributed to their support. “Abe” enjoys studying Cleopatra—History. “Abe’s” future depends on the kind heart of “Shylock”—a money-lender—or a “lucky break.”
