Displaying the image within html page

Rails
1

Hi-
I have a list of objects and each of them has an image. (like an array
of person object, with name and picture as attributes)

I need to display the images on the html in the thumb format. I use the
following RMagic stuff to create the thumb image

       <% file_name = "pictures/"
          file_name << person.image_name
          file_name << ".jpg"
          clown = Magick::ImageList.new(file_name)
          clown.scale(125, 125)
          #clown.write('rotate.jpg')%>

Now, how do I display the image within the html next to the person name?
This page will need to display a list of names with their pictures.

thanks
