' a.o. Class of 1926 President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Assistant Treasurer Honorary Member Chester W. Jensen Martha O. Sayles Mark R. Gifford Walter A. Presbrey. Jr. Helen P. Kirby Frank W. Keaney HISTORY It is with the most sincere pleasure that we present herewith our Senior Class. In the Fall of 1922 a record number of Freshmen presented themselves at the doors of our Alma Mater in search of knowledge. After registration they settled into the routine of college life as if to the manner born. Curriculum and non-curriculum activities were entered into with great vim, developing both students and athletes. The Freshman football team went through an exceptionally successful season, the basketball team was unbeaten, and, in due time, the Sophomores were taken into the wet at the annual rope pull. The class contributed highly to the success of the Varsity track and baseball sea- sons. and ended up the year with a bang-up banquet and dance. Sophomore year witnessed the usual decrease in our number. Again we proved ourselves masters at the art of pulling on a rope and dropping the apple ' ' in the iron ring. Many of our men became regulars on the Varsity teams during this year, but scholastic honors were not quite so numerous. The Soph Hop upheld socially the standard of achievement set by the class in its other activities. Junior year was immortalized by a never-to-be-forgotten Prom. Kings- ton. temporarily transformed into a Garden of Eden, through which the strains of the best jazz obtainable floated disturbingly, was overrun by men and their flappers. Jupe Pluvius arrived true to schedule in time to dampen the spirits of the interscholastic participants. Although dampened, however, these spirits were by no means decreased, and a very successful meet was run off. Again the class assisted nobly in maintaining the good name of Rhode Island on the athletic battlefields. Basketball proved to be our stronghold, the team playing through a successful season in the face of one of the hardest sched- ules of recent years. The Commencement Ball was run with the dispatch and dignity signifi- cant of experience in the management of such affairs. And now we are on the last leg of our voyage. Our ship has come through the scholastic storms, battered .... but still afloat. We have given all we had to our Alma Mater, realizing that we will always owe her more than we can hope to repay. Soon we go forth into the world to put to the test our ability to be good citizens, and to further so far as it lies in our power the name and fame of our dear old Rhode Island. 129 ]

Club (4) : GRIST Board (4). That big cog in the wheel ' man from D. T. I., after the World Strife, returned to Kingston to take up engineering. Analogous to the ‘Fly Wheel ' he has kept going ever since. Because of his moral courage and patience. Typ ' s On ne passera pas failed to halt him in his e fforts. During his first three years he was seldom seen leav- ing the Environment of Knowledge: but in his senior year he acquired a mastery of English, which enabled him to seek pleasure in North Attleboro and endure studies in Kingston. The success in his past adventurous sally gives him spirit to undertake another, so as he leaves us in June we wish him success as an aspiring Engineer. Simon Ahronian Providence. R. I. Si Applied Science Rope Pull (1) (2): Football Squad (1) (2) (3): Glee Club (1). Behold the picture of our Si. Prof Jackson ' s pet student. Si was a versatile chemist: he could break more Victor Meyes tubes and thirty-five dollar thermometers than the rest of the class put together. This bright young man will succeed anywhere with his winning smile and humorous jokes. B r-r-r-r .

Stephen Dominic Barardinelli, Z II A Westerly, R. I. Steve Doughnut Cruller” Applied Science CrossCountry (3) (4); Track Squad (3) (4): Scholastic Honors (3). “Steve came to Rhode Island two years ago from the University of Pennsylvania, where he spent his leisure time burning up the cinders under the watchful eye of Coach Lawson Robertson. He continued to show his stuff as a track and cross country man as soon as he hit our peaceful township. He ran on the freshman team in 1924-25. He then joined the formidable varsity cross country team and helped it to further glorify the name of Rhode Island. Cruller. unlike many of our athletes, is an honor student and somewhat of a social lion. Last summer he attended Boston University Summer School and also took a fling at the night life of Boston where he had many strange and embarrassing experiences. When Steve graduates from Rhode Island State, he plans to take a course in the Tufts Medical School so that some day we will hear of the great Doctor Baradinelli. Well, good luck. Steve. old man, when we are not feeling well we will send for you. 130 ]
