William E. Lewis, P 1 K East Providence, R. I. - “gjij” ••Shorty “Willie” Agriculture Beacon Board (1); Class Baseball (1) (2); Class Football (1) (2); Soph Hop Committee (2); Cor- poral (2) ; First Sergeant (3). Mighty of heart — mighty of mind? Magnani- “Willie” early won distinction at R. I. as being the smallest specimen that wears long trousers. He first registered as an engineer but because of the fact that he couldn’t find a soap box large enough to enable him to reach the drawing tables in the M. E. room he had to turn his endeavors along some line nearer Mother Earth. Hence — Aggie. Lewis has been known to borrow his neighbor ' s swing chair in which to whisper amorous sentiments into his chamber- maid friend’s ear. Incidentally, “Bill” comes from the metropolis, the down town end. Albert Edward McIntosh, r A S Providence, R. I. “Mack” “Stout” Civil Engineering Class Baseball (1) (2); Class Football (1) (2); Varsity Football (2) (3); Class Track (1) (2); Varsity Track Squad (2); Class Basketball (2). ’’Mack” hailed to us from Providence, and began his college career in a boisterous manner, but shortly learned his high school days of supremacy were over upon entering Rhode Island. He settled down, how- ever, and has taken active part in class and varsity athletics, with civil engineering on the side. The class extends its appreciation to “Stout” for his willingness in being the class goat” in the Sophomore year. Mack’s jocularity, goodwill and control of temper will either make him or break him when he’s out squinting through a transit in a year or two. Wesley C. Miller, ©x Providence, R. I. Pug” Electrical Engineering. Class Football (1) (2); Glee Club (1) (2); Class Baseball (2): Corporal (2); Sergeant (3): Asst. Manager Baseball (3). Pug” Miller expert in electricity and especially wireless, not to say anything of his ability as a mixer with the fair sex, is another graduate of Tech, llis election to the Assistant Managership of Baseball spells his popularity. A good student and a good fellow, the only thing that worries him being matrimony. 25

Alfred Patrick Kivu n, A A ♦ Kingston, R. I. “Kivy” ‘Politician” Elec trical Engineer “A. P.” “Patrick Class Baseball (1) (2); Captain (2); Soph. Hop Committee (2) ; Corporal (3) ; Student Council (3) ; Polygon (3) . . , Alfred first opened his baby blue eyes in the year 18 , (he doesnt want you to know how old he is) at Attleboro. He was so attached to his high school that he took a little P. G. work there, but that has fixed him so that he will never have to here. His serious face has grown wrinkled in the past two years under his assiduous (?) study. “A. P.” has been an energetic member of our class, having entered into several activities since his arrival, among which may best be mentioned his originating the K. K. K.’s Hoving found this fact out perhaps the col- lege office would like to talk with him. Anyway, it is the only wrong thing “Kivey” ever did. Frank Joseph Lennox, © X Woonsocket, R. I. “Sandy” Chemical Engineer. Class Treasurer (1) (2) (3); Class Track (1) (2) . Varsity Baseball (1 (2); Varsity Basketball (1) (2); Class Basketball (1) (2); Captain (2); Corporal (2). Sandy” was given to us by Woonsocket but we hold no grudge out against the Rubber City” for this individual. Sandy ' s” chief diversion is calling on a certain young lady in Wakefield during the week, while on Sundays he returns to his home town to call on his steady. He is very clever with the drum- sticks being able to play anything on the drums from an Indian war dance to a dirge. We predict a great future for him, for even if he should not become a success in musical lines, he can fall back on his “rep” and analyze dolomite for a living. George Mitchell Lewis, Kingston, R. I. “Blivey” Applied Science Orchestra (1) (2) (3); Assistant Manager (3); Beacon Board (3); 1915 Grist Board; Corporal (2). Georgie Mitchell Bliven Lewis, alias Handsome. Here it is, the homeliest gentleman that ever car- ried a cane or drank anything stronger than cider. He has the reputation of being the biggest bluffer on the campus, the best drummer in South County, and also of being a clever soprano singer, having sung once for His Grace, the Grand Duke of Russia.” He passed the winters of his youth in Florida and for this reason he does not skate. Handsome is a would-be instrumentalist but doubtlessly he will never pass the would-be stage, as he has already destroyed three pianos on the campus and two in his home. If he graduates in 1926 we wish him luck; if later than that, he has our sympathy. P. S. — His gait is not caused by corns, the reason rests wholly in his stomach. 24

Harold Conrad Mowry North Scitnate, R. I. “Senator “Cap Con” Civil Engineering Class Football (1) (2); Varsity Second Football (2); Class Debating (1); Associate Editor, Beacon (-) (3) ; Grist Board (3). t es. we are heartily jealous of a stature that ex- tends six feet from the level of Mother Earth straight toward Heaven and almost any distance in any other direction ; jealous of a magnitude that causes the fair-coeds to lie awake nights (with the nightmare ) : jealous of such a reputation on the foot- ball field (a reputation of having been out every night for three years and never having entered a scrimmage ) : last of all, jealous of his tone, volume, quantity, quality, time, technique, etc., in walloping, yes walloping an 88-kcy Miller Grand. Joseph Elton Nichols, fas Woonsocket, R. I. “Nick” “Joe” Mechanical Engineer Varsity Basketball (2) ; Varsity Baseball (2) ; Class Football (1) (2); Class Baseball (1); Class President (3); Class Track (1) (2); Corporal (3); Soph. Hop Committee (2): Class Basketball (1); Scholastic Honors (1) (2); Beacon Board (2) (3); 1915 Grist Board (3) : Sergeant (3) ; Polygon (3). “Among those present in the Woonsocket police of 1911 was a bright-eyed lad by the name of Nichols. He was not large of stature but made up for this shortcoming by the quality of his voice. He may be heard every morning tuning himself to the zephyrs that hurricane around the Watson House. Next to his madness for melody is his deep affection for the opposite sex. In fact, this is his favorite topic when he is not engaged in attempts at song. But “Nick” is no laggard despite his voice, as is shown by the string of A ' s in his wake. He dabbles a little in athletics, his efforts in this line being very successful. Upon graduation “Joe” will devote all of his time search- ing for a wife. Harry Oscar V. Nordouist, Providence, R. I. “Nord” “The Churper” Civil Egineer Class Track (1) (2): Class Football (2); Class Basketball (2) (3): Class Baseball (1) (2); Cor- poral (3); Sergeant (3); Soph Hop Committee (2). •.Nord. rather Harry Out-for-the-Varsity Nord- quist, joined us with a bump of advanced knowledge, with which he continues to be very generous. As to the girls. “Nord” thinks that they should be seen but not spoken to. This is his own fault for he could become a great ladies ' man. if he so desired. He has been active in athletics since his arrival and has set up a good record as a student. Here ' s hoping that he doesn’t drive a spike in his foot building that proverb- ial Chickcnville Railroad. 26
