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.

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.”

1928 THE TECH REVIEW ROBERT A. WAY “Bob” Here he comes! Who doesn’t know “Bob” and his ever ready smile? Boh was sent to us four years ago from Peace Street, and since then his amiable qualities have gained for him a multitude of friends. Although Boh is no distinguished scholar, he has passed his sub- jects with credit and next fall we may expect to see him in Springfield College where he will continue his pursuit after knowledge. We wish him the best of luck, and we arc sure that if he is as successful there as he is here we shall he proud of him. Soccer, '24, ’25; Tech Hi-Y Club. 57 CLIFFORD WESTON WEAVER Two years ago, East Greenwich Academy lost Clif- ford and Tech made room for him. Despite the fact the “Clif” is very quiet, he has made numerous friends. Mechanical drawing is his favorite subject with algebra a close second. “Clif” is undecided as to which col- lege will he favored by his presence hut one surely will he lucky. MIRIAM GLEE WELLS Here, gentle reader, is our Miriam. She is sweet, pleasing and popular among both sexes. Miriam came to us two years ago, hut has as many friends as if she had been here four years. Although she has never overworked herself with hooks, she always obtains good marks. Have you ever heard her play the violin? She can certainly swing some delightful melodies. Because of her outside interests, she has not attended many student dances. Next fall, she will attend Boston Uni- versity taking regular courses at Boston New England Conservatory of Music. Success, Miriam. Tech Orchestra, ’27, ‘28; Advanced Orchestra, '27, ‘28. CLIFFORD STANLEY WEST “Westie” Vo do dc o do—Here comes “W estie”, the “George Olsen” of Tech, who has cheered us daily with his popular songs and “wise cracks.” He has made his way into the hearts of many of his fellow students by his good humor and ever ready wit. In spite of all his merry making, “Cliff” has passed his studies with credit. Although “Westie” is yet undecided as to the future, we feel sure that his pleasing character will carry him a long distance toward Success and we all wish him the best of luck.
