M. Marcus Kiley Former Director — Present Sponsor The Big Story continues with a special feature—and what a privilege it is for this broadcasting station to present it—a tribute from all of us Techites to a man who wholeheartedly and unselfishly directed and participated in Tech’s activities from 1936 to 1949, M. Marcus Kiley. Because of our time limit, it will be impossible to cover the wide range of his services to this school, but we shall be able to touch upon some of his activities. A spotlight on the control room might easily have revealed him making arrangements to take Tech boys to visit the submarine base at New London, securing industrial leaders in the community to take part in the “Technicade,” directing the installation of a Link Trainer in one of our classrooms, or simply having a friendly chat with one of the many students who sought his counsel and leadership. Continuing its arc, our spotlight might have found Mr. Kiley in the assembly hall where so often it was our privi- lege to listen to his kindly philosophy. There, too, we have seen him proudly presenting guest speakers and artists, of varied experiences, ranging from outstanding community leaders, technical and scientific experts, to equally well-known musicians and magicians. Incidentally, he always enjoyed the performances as well as any of us. Still on the lighter side, we scarcely ever attended a sports or social event without finding Mr. Kiley there cheer- ing for our teams. A lover of clean sportsmanship, he thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of good competition that our sports program offers. Our spotlight must move more rapidly now to the larger studios and control rooms next door to Tech. Here we now find Mr. Kiley in his new surroundings ably assisting in the administration of the whole network over which is told a story bigger than ours. Mr. Kiley has always been keenly interested in us, and if in future years we get there ahead of the “kid from yonder,” he may realize his share in our success. 24 tow ‘ite

This poor little microphone is undoubtedly being worn out by a rapid succession of interviews, although we would have been at a loss without our portable. At this moment, we’re ambling around the halls in an effort to find some excitement or some inter- esting people. Standing over in a corner, apparently holding up a group of student lockers, is a gathering of some of Tech’s famous “sidewalk engineers.’ There displaying his usual grin is Senior Ken Edwards. He is well known for his constant good humor. The fellow next to him is hard to distinguish without his saxophone, but I’m almost certain that he is Jay Sterling, Tech’s Claude Thornhill. Jay formed his own little group of musicians last fall, and these fellows do give out with some fine melody. On Jay’s left is Frankie De Simone, who needs hardly any introduction. Some of you may not know, however, that Frankie tickles us with his “ivory ticklings” in the “Tantrums.” The last in this group is Tim Healey, the Lone Junior. As the class treasurer, his cry could well be “Hi, ho, Silver!” Joyce A. Arnold Nancy C. Askew Claire M. Balboni Mildred A. Arsenault Sylvester A. Astorino Robert J. Bandzul
