s Goodman Lake with some boys from his class. Selectman Praiseall paused momentarily and sang out loudly: ‘‘The Department of Science. “Goodman William J. Clancy has long been a familiar face to many of our schoolsters. His kindness and smiling manner, coupled with his wit and twinkling eye, have made his task as chairman of the Stamps and Bonds Committee as easy as rollin’ off a log. Goodman Howard C. Kelley, with a winning, friendly way, has been a favorite of many of the fresh- men. He has served as chairman of our program for science revision. Squire Alfred ‘Honest Abe’ Lincoln has served long and faithfully as treasurer of our sovereigns. In his free hours, Squire Lincoln tickles the ivories for the enjoyment of all. Mistress Alberta McCleary, another of Tech’s gracious newcomers, is a friendly lady who reflects the charm of nature in the graciousness of her manner. Goodman M. Edmond Maynard is a gentleman, who has great ability in his chosen field, electronics. Goodman Maynard is also busy serving the citizens of ’48 as class auditor. Squire David Hector Reid is a popular person! Other than teachin’ classes in chemistry, biclogy, physics, and physiology, he imparts to them a fund of witty yet practical knowledge formulated as only Squire Reid can! Master Frank J. M cMahon is often seen pushing a chemical cart through our halls both at risk of life and limb and loss of lunch time. But a good sport is he; an example in point is the Rifle Club. Master Frey is a newcomer to Tech this year. We wish him well in his work, and we know the happiness he will have working with Tech’s faculty. Mistress Mable Potter is much interested in photography and ornithology, and, above all, her pets—students! Farmer Potter, and she is, heads for the hills, her home in Rowe, almost as soon as the snow is thawed. Goodman Brooks, one of Tech’s faculty veterans, is kept busy with the chemistry club of which he is advisor. Goodman Brooks served early in the war as a chemist, and upon his return he reorganized the Tech Chemistry Club. Science William O. Brooks William J. Clancy Newell W. Frey Howard C, Kelly Henry W.

ways. Master Walter Hansen belongs to that fabulous group of story tellers-;who travel under the guise of fishermen. They say he’s quite a fellow for reelin’ ‘em in by the dozen—or was it two dozen? Master Hansen is amiable and jovial towards all, perhaps that’s why he’s considered such a favorite. Master Walter S. Lake is as regular as they come. He, too, is a vital part of Tech’s production combine. Quick and energetic, Master Lake knows the ropes. Other than his work as machinist, he constructs stage settings, arranges assemblies, paints, builds, lights, lugs, bout everything that comes stageward. The stage crewmen under him have fondly dubbed him ‘Uncle Walt’. {For further reference consult Squire Gifford or Melody Max.| Goodman Warren Lawrence is a faculty jokester and a man with a true obsession, a proud love for a proud grandson. Goodman Robert Spence is greatly interested in his shop work. as well as English. None in all of Techdom are more considerate and helpful than smilin’ Goodman Spence. Master George Reynolds, another ‘shopster’, is head of our N. V. K. D. He is the man behind the scene who issues summons to those who have neglected to appear during a scheduled class. We followed through a receipt of one of Master Reynolds ‘invitations’ expectin’ to be confronted with a hard-boiled, sinister gentleman, but to our pleasant relief, found instead, a man with a warm smile and a jolly disposition. Master Winslow is one of Tech’s tops. He is spirited, handy, and always helpful. Master Winslow devotes time each summer to the makin’ of toys for children and when school’s in session, he spends time makin’ decoration wonders for the senior scholars’ dances. Goodman Howard Reid, ‘Butch’, is one of the best liked of all senior advisors. People don’t seem to forget a man with a willin’ heart and such a pleasant way.” Walter S. Lake George L. Reynolds Shop Practice Mistress Ruth Grady Roland V. Fitzroy Walter E. Hansen Warren E.Lawrence Howard F. Reed Robert J. Spence Charles S. Winslow

Dame Elizabeth Facey, quick mannered and friendly, spends her summer vacation as a swimming instructor at Windsor Pond. Squire Milt Orcutt is a personality with lots of vim; it’s hardly any wonder that his teams always win! It has been currently whispered bout the pot-bellied stove, that Master Milt and Dancing Don may leave Techdom, along with a certain group of ladies, for a Broadway dancing hit! Edward Barrett David H. Reid Squire Johnny Kalloch amuses many with his locker room ‘tales of ....’ and amazes many more by star basketball performances. Mistress ‘Mim’ Hatch has lots to do. Her office is usually so crowded with friends one never knows who’s who! Mistress ‘Mim’ has served three long years as advisor of the senior class and for her work on the class picnic—‘added relish’! Last, but not least, Goodman ‘Chief’ Walmer, father of Tech’s football, is a man’s man indeed! ‘Chief’, the hope of future pedestrians, teaches auto safety. Rule number one: Never put the cart before the horse nor buy apples from anyone but Walmer!” Science M. Edmond Maynard Alberta McCleary Frank J. McMahon Mabel A. Potter 2I1
