He| Ws supported athletic teams faithfully and financially, ilso by participating on four squads. The footoall team has claimed Platty’s interest, on which he played halfback. He is another one of those who enjoyed many hours of freedom in the office as a mem- ber of thd office force. Platt was well awarded in June, 19 9, wheirhe received his Rhode Island Honor Society certmcai and pin, which he earned during his three years of hard study. R. .

IRA HENRY fJEDINGER A more earnest and capable young man than we find here, has never walked throy mthe halls of dear, old I ech. His social and scholastic 'inclinat ion has acquired for him innumerable friends. ,Mi$ favorite study is science but he is high above aVQrjgtrin all his studies. He has been unable to participate, in atlHetic contests, but he is a very willing supporter. JPnose who have known him intimately during these paw four years have gained something valuable—a good friend. To R. I. State we give Ira, as an example of the work of l ech. EDWARD HOPWOOD ROBINSON “Ned” “Ned” came to l ech four years ago from Point Street Grammar School. Since he has been with us his pleasant manner and cheerful smile have won him many friends. He has never participated in athletics because of outside activi- ties but he has always supported them loyally. “Ned” has managed to get along well in all his studies. He does not say which he prefers. Any day you may see him rush to the next period at 12:30 so we draw the conclusion, that lie is very partial to lunch. “Ned” is undecided as to his future, but we know that he will make good in whatever he undertakes. IRVING RUBIN “Irv” “Irv” came to us four years ago from Candace Street Grammar School via the regular route. During his stay here he has gained many friends. His marks have been creditable. “Irv” claims mathematics to be his favorite subject with lunch a close second. Outside activities have kept him from participating in athletics and socials but he has contributed towards them financially. On leaving Tech “Irv” intends to further his education at Rhode Island State College. Good luck, “Irv”!

32 THE TECH REVIEW 1930 MILDRED GERTRUDE PEIRCE Calm, well-poised, complete mistress of herself in any situation, Mildred go s serenely on her way. At times she seems the ideal embodimen pL all the qualities we should like to possess—digkit reserve, charm and frankness. She is the kind girl one hopes to meet, brilliant, capable and sympathetic. Whether it is math, English, French, or science Mildred does them all with the same thoroughness and ability. After leaving l ech, Mildred will enter Pembroke and we are sure they will grow to appreciate her as we have.

FRANCIS ALBERT PICKERING “Pick” Who’s that happy-go-lucky fellow going into 3-12? It is none other than “Pick.” His winning personality has gained him many friends while- t Tech, especially with the opposite sex. Glancing at his career at Tech, we find that he made his letter in football in his third year but outside activities kept him from making more. He has also had a fine grade in all his studies. “Pick’s’ future is not known but very likely we will find him as one of the world’s lead- JOSEPH PIGNATELLI “Joe” “Joe” is one of the naturally talented students of the Senior Class. We don’t believe he ever studies at home and yet he makes countless A’s with ease. Proof of this is found in the fact that he is a member of the Honor Society. Did you say you were looking for “Joe”? He is a mem- ber of those famous “four musketeers” so, if you would find him, look for “Meadus,” “Muke,” or “Don.” R. I. State is Joe’s probable destination. French Club, '27; Honor Society. PHILIP JOSEPH PITASSI “Phil” “Hey! wait a minute, what’s the rush?” I hat’s the way Phil greets his pals as they dash up the stairs about 8:15. “Phil is a very serious-looking chap but many a stunt or prank that was put over during the last four years in l ech, originated in this young man’s mind. Phil gets along nicely with his studies, however; in fact, he sports an Honor Society Pin on the left side of the light blue sweater that he usually wears. Although he is undecided as to his future, we are sure that he will make good in any line of endeavor. R. I. Honor Society.

Her scholarship at l ech has been consistently high and her list of varied activities indicates a versatility that few possess.
