18 THE TECH REVIEW 1980 MARY ELIZABETH FALLOWS I will now introduce Mary. She is one of the more stu- dious type although she never neglects socials and games. Mary is well liked by her classmates, and has served on some of our committees. She has made many friends among the teachers as well as the students. Our athletic events would hardly be complete without her presence and cheers. After graduation she will enter R. I. C. E. and we hope she is successful. Good luck, Mary! French Club, '28, '29; 3A Social Committee. MERRILL SCOTT FAXON “Scottie” Next on our program is Merrill, better known as “Scottie.” “Scottie” may be seen almost any time of the day with his inseparable pal, “AC Merrill hasn’t gone out for athletics but has done J»is part financially.) When student dances and socials come around “Scottie” can be depended upon to make his appearance. Merrill claims architectural drafting to be his favorite subject (to say nothing of study periods and lunch.) He hasn’t let anyone in on the secret of his future, but we may expect to hear of him designing some of our coming skyscrapers. VERNON FERRARA “Tut” I o “ Tut” belong the laurels of Chairman of the Social Committee of our class. His cheerful disposition is one of the secrets of his overwhelming popularity. Our student dances and socials wouldn’t be complete without his re- freshing enthusiasm. His sterling character and remarkable personality has won for him the esteem and friendship jtd the whole class. “ I ut” hopes to enter College next fall and the best wishes of the class go with you, “Tut,”’old- timer.

20 THE TECH REVIEW 1030 LOUIS J. GEREMIA “Gerry” Well, well! Who is this quiet, studious chap who ar- rived four years ago from Broad Street Grammar School? Why, it’s “Gerry” of course! He has won many pals, due to his likeableness and cheerful' disposition. “Gerry” has been kept away from some of our good time) by out- side activities but he has always cheerfully contributed his share financially, and has been pre ent at most of our games. “Gerry’s mind is not settled as to the future but we expect to hear from him at some higher and well-known institution. Good luck, “Gerry”! JOHN HACKETT GOODWIN Ten’ shun! Here is Teclyi representative of l O M. T. C. l or the past three.yniars John Kas been successful in enticing enough boy tq'take up military training to fill the quota. As hedjtfSgraduated after four years training he is qualified t y explain to anyone interested all about “the old army g3fme.” We hope John’s military experience paves the wav to West Point where they make (generals?) and second lieutenants. His marks show that he may easily claim mechanical drawing as his favorite subject with com- mercial drawing a close second. His ready smile makes him many fast friends, both in l ech and outside. Football, 27. CHARLES FRANCIS GORMLEY “Charlie” Pleasing personalty and good nature account for “Charlie’s” Populariy ivith his classmates. His presence at the cUss AOciah|Jra ertainly increased the attendance of the op ).'-iit’because of his ability to dance. On ac- count »j )msiae influences “Charlie” has not been a dash- ing football or baseball hero, but has done his part for athletics through his financial contributions. Although un- decided as to his future, “Charlie” is expected to further his education at some higher institution of learning. JOHN VINCENT GORMLEY “Vin” “Vin,” as he is known among his host of friends, is one of the best fellows we know. He never has much to say. but absorbs a great deal. Although he has not attended class socials because of outside activities he has given them his financial support. When it comes to electricity, well he, along with his pal. Battle, can do as well as any experts in business. Just now Vin is undecided as to his future but we know it will be a bright one.
