Noridge, who died in 1986, earned letters in track and in football, where he was known as the "iron man" because of the way he plowed through the line. Perkins, of Nashua, N.H., earned letters in basketball all four years of her WPI career and garnered letters in track during two of those years. In 1987 she set the school record with a 140-foot hammer throw. Tinker, who lives in Gardner, Mass., was a member of the 200-yard freestyle relay team that won the 1930 New England Intercollegiate Swimming Championship.
