A long rough road But fine® Senior D03 0U wonder then At the haughty demeanor? Class of 1924 President. JAMES C. TWEEDELL Vice-President. GRACE E. HARRIBINE Treasurer LUKE CLARK Secretary GLADYS J. L. PECKHAM Honorary Member. PAUL S. BURGESS There is nothing more encouraging to an unsophisticated Freshman class than a hearty welcome to its College. Full of encouragement, and eager to make a record, we as a class accepted the challenge. Our Freshman year was, without doubt, the most exciting. Will we ever forget the Rope Pull? No. never! The Sophs had the honor of being victorious, but we wonder if they fully realized the fun that we Freshies had wearing those red ribbon bands at the Formal dances. Even Dr. Burgess, our honorary member, joined us in wearing this sign of defeat. But we were not all for contests. “Let ' s put across a Minstrel Show, was our next slogan. It was something unusual for a class to do. The college community was certainly entertained that night. Every Freshman participated, and it was declared that the co-eds made fine chorus girls. The second year found the class more experienced. Still, we looked to our honorary member for enthusiasm and advice. Thus, the Soph Hop was care- fully planned and Lippitt Hall was transformed to a fairylike winter scene. How quickly those two years slipped away! Juniors — then came our opportunity to apply our training. The class began early to plan for Junior Week, and the Prom was considered the best time ever.” Its Egyptian decora- tions were novel: the orchestra was first class: it had new features, luncheon served at midnight in East Hall, and dancing until Three O’clock in the Morning. Here we are on the home stretch. the “survival of the fittest, working earnestly to fulfill our duty. We have made no particular striking record, but the one aim which the entire class is striving at is to make the 1924 GRIST a success, financially as well as materially. [ 29 ]

Hiram William Barber Westerly. R. I. Barb ' ' Hiram Electrical Engineering Engineering Society (3): Class Trach (2). We didn ' t see much of Hiram the first two years, for daily he wandered down the pike to Westerly, but since then he has reformed and become a regular member of the gang in East Hall. Hiram has attained no athletic honors, but he has won the distinction of being the only man to outgrunt Pete”. We suggest that he join the police force of Westerly because of his adaptability as a silent policeman . He is a faithful student and of a conscientious nature. These sterling qualities should help him toward the goal of success. Carl Bateman Manville. R. I. WHITEY SWEDE CIVIL ENGINEERING Class Basketball (1) (2): Class Football (2): Engineering Society (3) (4). Carl was somewhat of a quiet lad during his first two years at college, but later we find him joining the ranks of the Delta Tau Lambda ' s , where his heart was captured by some fair young lady. As regularly as the clock strikes the hour, you can find Carl in his three-cylindered Ford headed southeastward. He surely feels very much indebted to the State for the fine highway that was built from Wakefield to this abode of learning, and who knows but what this youth was instrumental in having such a highway constructed? We all wish Carl the best of luck and prosperity when he steps out into the world, and that his future life will be as successful as his past. Harlan George Bemis Riverside. R. I. ' Bemo ' Chemical Engineering Glee Club (1) (2) (3): Debating (3): Engineering Society (3) (4) : Senior Ball Committee (3) ; Class Track (1 ) : Rope Pull (1). Here we have the original (in the local community) of the famous character Grumpy , not only because of his reasoning brain, but also because of his cantankerousness when disturbed from sleep. The fact that he belongs to so many social organi- zations shows that he would be quite a lion” if it were not for his terror of being called a co-eder. His rapid development as a shot -putter has won him a position as monitor in East Hall, where he gets much practice in heaving pathetic appeals to Pipe Down . Bemo ' s degree as a chem engineer and his business ability will be of great benefit to him. for he expects to get a job in Riverside, jerking sodas . Success in any undertaking, Bemo !
