This explains the urgent demand for dictionaries in division I of late. Moreover, Barnett can juggle the paint brush as skillfully as he quotes Webster, and his paintings have graced many an exhibition. Evidently he does not believe in patronizing his neighborhood college, for he expects to attend the Pennsyl- vania Academy of Fine Arts. The best wishes of the class follow our future Michael Angelo. D. RICHARD BARONIAN Baseball fl-Z-3-45: Basketball 141: Football 13-45: Track fl-2-45: Soccer ll-25 Brown Dick is one of our outstanding advocates of Jest and youthful .Iollity, always full of fun and frolic. To what vile end might the good old class of '28 have come without Dick? He is a capital fellow, and, the girls enthuse, some dancer! A very good-natured, obliging chap, he is never loath to scatter assistance and advice left and right. In spite of the fact that he is nearly always doing something odd lto say the leastlj the teachers can refuse him nothing. 1Distinct laugh.l Q a. KENNETH M. BARTLETT Orchestra Q45 Brown Here is a happy-go-lucky youth whose main object is to make his own life and the lives of others, especially the girls, happy. He succeeds in doing this in such an accomplished manner, that many of his contemporaries are more, or less, envious. Bartlett takes his studies just seriously enough to get good marks. We are sure Classical will be proud of her son next year, under the Brown and White. FRIEDA BAXT Emerson or R. I. State Frieda is a lovely girl! It naturally follows that she will be charming when she grows older. We had proof that grey hair will suit her very well when she is-er-approaching mid- dle age, since the elderly role of the charming Mrs. Briggs in The Trysting Place became her well. Yes, Frieda is a very pleasing actress, but we like her best when she's just being natural, and telling one of the innumerable amusing incidents that happen in her classes. She has a happy way of taking mat- ters even as tragic as forgetting a geometry theorem. Ask any one of Frieda's friends if she's not a pretty good sort to have around when you're feeling blue.

Xatintiplltipiptiptklpqkcincincipciaiplaeipfipciptiptktiptfpfip THE CADUCEUS BLANCHE T. ATVVOOD R. I. C. E. She looks quiet, but never judge a book by its cover, Cas the old saw has ith. With her smile for all, Blanche is a true, helpful classmate. She never says no to any request of her friends. Blanche is a blond, with a twinkle in her eye that belies her calm exterior. As for luckl She is hardly ever called to recite on something she didn't quite reach in her home-work. She is usually chatting with Marion, but her other chums are many. Blanch intends to complete her education at R. I. C. E., where she will add to her tale of friends. l SIDNEY BALLON Brown Age has but traveled from a far-off time Just to be ready for youths service. Sid is one of the youngest members of our class Cage 3Lfj D, and yet he outstrips all his gray-bearded elders when it comes to penetrating the inner mysteries of Algebra and Geometry. Still he is by no means the sober professor Math that he hopes to be, for he sees a joke in everything, a quality which, Hne in itself, seems to be strangely rare among professors Recently he has fallen prey to an insidious exigency which, if he is not careful, will deter his triumphant path through the prize exams at Brown, next year. HELEN GERALDINE BANICAN R. I. C. E. Helen believes in preparedness: she will not only prepare her own lessons, but will prepare yours too, if necessary. It is perplexing to us how Helen can maintain her high standard of scholarship with so much outside work to do. In Mathef matics she guides the elusive string compass with no greater dexterity than she pushes the fantastic crayon in Mr. Randall's art sanctum, where she has spent three years. In school and out, Helen is always surrounded by her friends. We prophesy that her geniality and ambition will make her course at R. I. C. E. a path of primroses. - - ALBERT ARNOLD BARDEN Brown There was an old owl Who lived in an oak And the more he satv. The less he spoke. This earnest fellow, who seems to harbour the cares of the world in his eyes, is going to Brown next year to keep up our scholarship record. His unsuspected sense of humor be- comes readily apparent when any sterling bit of mirth reaches his ears. He will surely make his mark in life as an advocate of everything that is worthwhile.

Somewhat sac- rificing harmony to volume, he joins Barnett in the Corridor Cilee Club. Moreover, Bob is about the only one who takes his languages seriously, and recites in each of the classes with that mucous, indistinguishable tone which we attribute only to natives of the countries. The future may see him emerge from Brown to an interpretor's desk at Ellis Island. IRL HAZARD BLAISDELL 1 - C Whitie j 'ACaduceus Board Tufts Irl has a canoe, a dog, and a small brother: and yet such strenuous trials to his patience have left his blonde young face unlined. Nay, he goes further, and dwells endlessly upon his three weaknesses until only his outstanding virtues prevent us from tearing him limb from limb. He has a bright, ready wit, and is very willing to prompt the inmates of room 5 in Hprac- ticing Virgil translations. Moreover, he frequently bursts into flower at the social occasions. His lunch-room course will be of inestimable aid to him in that, by the many and varied sights of the tables his heart will be steeled for the dissection room at Tufts. ABRAHAM BLOOMSTEIN Brown Unassuming, yet obvious - that's our Abie, alias Porky. His translations are remarkable for their origin- ality. Since he is a radio enthusiast, we feel inclined to believe that some of them were inspired by static. Often Porky's well-foundedf?j ideas do not coincide with the teacher's: but ideas are soon revised, so why worry? NVhen he goes to Brown with his comrades' wishes for success, let's hope he finds further enjoyment there. MAURICE BOTVIN C Murry j Brown Track Q2-39: Indoor Track C2-3-4Qb: Cross Country Q2-35: Junior Play 4'Murry is a good old scout in his easy languid way, with a remarkably comfortable, smooth manner of gliding around the corridors and of sliding into his seat. He is a member of the first division, and his scholarship has always been of a high standard. At times we hardly feel his presence, yet he is always on hand, doing his bit with characteristic drawling sophistica- tion.
