1030 TIIE TECH REVIEW 37 MARTIN LEO TAHAKJIAN “Bill” Marty’ Who is that walking do h the corridor so studious? Why, it’s our friend, MW’ He is only walking to his chemistry class. AnotherAponte study of his is “algebra” which he is a His rbrious face is in complete contrast to life lisposition. “Marty” believes in laughter as an aid to digestion and, consequently, his cul- tured (?) laugh may be heard by everyone in his machine- shop period. He is undecided as to what he will do imme- diately after leaving l ech. Outdoor Track 27; Indoor Track» '26, '27; Glee Club, '26, 28, 29. PETER TARLAIAN Pete” Who is this solemn-looking chap? Why, it’s “Pete.” Four years ago “Pete” decided that Asa Messer Grammar School could terch him no more, so he came to l ech in search of knowledge. In jpite of the fact that he stands high in his classTs7TJ2ete” has nightmares about flunking. Outside interests tJ AjUimed much of his time, but he is always ready witII financial support for all school activities. In the future we expect to see jewelry industry. EDWARD J. TEMPLE This young gentleman hasn’t been with us long, for he only joined our ranks last term. “Ed” entered I ech with an earlier class, but left before completing the course. The fact that he has come back to graduate with us shows that he has realized the value and importance of Tech’s educa- tion. He seems very serious, but his intimate friends know that, under it all, he loves fun and a good time as much as anyone. Our most cordial wishes go with “Ed” as he leaves l ech to pursue further his training for the profession of dentistry. MORGAN H. THOMPSON, JR. Morgan is one of the quietest boys in the 4A class. He believes in being seen but not heard. Morgan’s interest centers in drawing, and although he is greatly interested in the artistic field, he does not let this interfere with his other studies. He has never participated in athletics, but he has always contributed generously toward their support. When Morgan attends the School of Design, the best wishes of the class will speed him on his way. ,

DORIS EVELYN SKIRROW It’s wasting time attempting to introduce one so well known as Doris. Dot is an all-round sport, and with her friendly disposition she has acquired many friends. She comforts many a downcast heart when she lets that pleasant smile beam forth. When you’re in trouble you are sure to receive sympathy from “Dot.” She is very fond of dancing which is one of her many accomplishments. Doris is un- certain as to what she will do in the future, but whatever she undertakes, we know she will be successful. Perhaps someday she will be instructing a class in French. Who knows ? French Club, '28; Student Dance Committee, '29. HERBERT EUGENE STROMBERG Stromberg came to us as a graduate of Broad Street Grammar School. Although his marks would not admit him to the Honor Society he has been with us the:e four short years in good standing. He has not attended many of the socials but this has not been a handicap in gaining friends. Drawing being his favorite subject he expects to continue at Wentworth’s with the aid of his trick slide rule. ROBERT A.

THE TECH REVIEW 1930 38 HERBERT T. THORNTON “Herbie” In-tro-duc-ing “Herbie,” popular captain of our champion- ship Cross-country 1 earn. During his short stay at I ech, “Herbie” has made many friends. He is extremely popular with the opposite sex, and may be seen almost at any time strolling around the corridors with one of his “flames.” In passing from our portals, “Herbie” leaves his two insep- arable pals, “Count” and “Del, to struggle on unaided. In the future you may hear of “Herbie” burning up the cinder paths at the U. S. M. A., West Point. N. Y.

JOHN JOSEPH TIERNEY Here is our cheerful, happy-go-lucky classmate, who came to us four short years ago from Vineyard Street Grammar School. John’s pleasant manner and quiet dis- position have won him many friends. He has always man- aged to receive good marks, with very little worry about his studies. Although John has not gone out for any sport, he supports them faithfully in many different ways. The business world will claim John after graduation, and we know that he will be successful in all his ventures. HOWARD WILLIAM U MS IE AD Next, let us introduce Howard, who is one of the most popular members of the class. He is very quiet and studious looking, but—Oh, girls, looks are deceiving! Behind that quiet and eveready smile there is enough wit and fun for everyone. We have often wondered why he has not at- tended more of the socials and student dances. Outside in- terests, Howard? His friendliness and willingness to help others have won for him a host of friends during his short stay at l ech. He has supported faithfully our athletic activities even though he has not been present at many of the games. We will miss you when you leave l ech, Howard, but we all wish you. Good Luck! RUSSELL VANCE VERNET Shades of Michael Angelo and Mr. Bailey! Now we meet one of the class artists. 1 his popular, young fellow is guilty of painting one of the mural decorations in the lunch room and assisting in painting the stained-glass effects in the main office. Russ can always be counted on with the little red ribbon to “pep things up at the sUident dances. His pleasing personality has made him many triends among the students and faculty. 1 We wish him success in the art career for which he plans. !«?!
