58 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 ARNE WESTERINEN Arne has an appearance of reticence, but looks may deceive. He may often be heard shouting to his friend “Spen” concerning the next student dance, social or outside engagement. Yes, Arne dances. Any of the opposite sex will inform you that the student dances will lose a steady customer. Arne always sees to it that social activities never harm his scholastic standing as his Honor Society pin proves. This summer Arne intends to increase his knowledge of engineering at Washington and then to travel the well known hill to Brown in September.

ROLAND WHYTOCK “Roily” This serious looking student is “Roily.” Looks are deceiving, for he is one of the class humorists. “Roily” came to Tech from Point Street Grammar School, and has lengthened his list of adherents in these four years. He is generally seen with “Jimmy” or “Westy.” “Roily” has spent a profitable four years at Tech, and although he disclaims favorites, we notice that the fair sex ap- peals to him. After graduation, “Roily” intends to enter the business world, and we know that he will climb the ladder to success. R. I. Honor Society. KENNETH ROBINSON WILDE Endowed with a captivating personality and a will to learn, this fine looking chap has succeeded admirably at Tech. Although he has not been seen on the athletic field, his presence at many of the games could he estab- lished by his tempestuous cheering. A graceful dancer “Ken” could not he kept away from the socials and student dances. He will part from his Tech friends with many regrets and remembrances of bygone days to enter the school of hard knocks from which we may expect to hear from him later.

He is “Our Bob”, chair- man of the social committee, and the original “Don Juan.” With his inseparable pals, “Tiny” and “Mac,” he has annexed countless friends by his pleasant, kind and courteous ways. Even with his extra activities, he has not neglected his studies. He will continue his quest for knowledge at Kingston with the passing of the summer.

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.

1928 THE TECH REVIEW BARBARA LOUISE WRIGHT “Bobby” came to Tech four years ago and has won the friendship of students and teachers. A social is never complete unless it is favored by her presence. “Hoppy” and “Bobby” are a perfect interpretation of that song “Side by Side.” Barbara does not care for any particular subject but takes a great interest in them all. She thinks she would like to go to Leslie, but “Bobby” wears a fraternity pin and so we are not sure which will win her. Which ever it may be. we wish her the greatest success and happiness.

Esther has been with us four years, and during that time has made many friends. Since she is such a fine dancer, she has won several dance prizes. Her favorite subjects are domestic art, millinery and dressmaking. Next fall, some dressmaking school may be honored with Esther’s presence and in a short time we hope to hear of Esther as a first class fashionable dressmaker and milliner. Our best wishes go with you, Esther. Art Club, ’27. LOUIS OLIVER CLASS PHOTOGRAPHER FOR 1928
