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. Sj Tennis, ’24, ’26, ’27, '28; Class Champion. ’24. 26, '27; Lead- ers’ Club, ’25, ’26; Basketball, ’24, ’28; French Club, ’26, ’27. ’28: Vice-President, ’27; Alternate Home Room Representa- tive, '28; Tech Review Board, ’27, ’28; Circulation Manager, '28. 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.”

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.

56 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 CHARLES TOWNSEND Although “Charlie” has graced the halls of Tech for only one short year, he lias gained for himself a school of friends. “Charlie” came to us from New Jersey and has attained high marks in all his subjects. He is manager of the track team besides being a member of the Varsity tennis team. Tech will certainly miss his obliging disposition and quick wit when lie leaves. Some college will admit “Charlie” in the fall where we know high achievement will be his. Good luck, old man. Tennis, '27, ’28; Manager Track Team, ’27, '28. RANDALL WILLIAM TUCKER Hey! Hey! Who is this handsome chap rushing down the corridor at 8:29? Ah! Tis “Rand,” always on the last minute. Rand came to the open portals of Tech one year and a half ago from Oak Park High School, Illinois. Although he has never gone out for any of the sports, he has always been at the games to cheer the team along and has always helped financially, lie alleges his favorite studies are Latin and chemistry. We shall probably sec him parading about Northeastern in the future, hut wherever he goes we wish him good luck. HELEN MARPE VANDERBURGH Helen came to us from New York State, last fall. She has become well liked here because of her sweet and winning ways. One may find her skipping up to 5-13 every night, for chemistry is one of her favorite subjects. Helen has had excellent marks in all of her studies. She is undecided about her further education. May she meet with success! Dramatic Club. ’28. FLORENCE EDNA WARD •'filossy” Exit, Gloom!—Enter Jov and Laughter! This is our “Flossy” with her youRyful hgnity. Once knowing her you are lost withWt her. NrShe is near the end of the alphabet. 6r we wight tell i of her host of friends and wondeaTul i rsrfiality. Tlwence is the third and most energetic rubber ji tluoH'hree Musketeers” who haunt the Tech Review wnce daily. “Flossy” has disturbed many classes with her frequent giggles. Can vou imagine our Florence a dignified ( ?) school ma’am? Orchestra, ’24, '25, '26, '27 ; French Club, ’26, '27, ’28; Tech Review Board, ’27, ’28; Circulation Manager, ’28.
