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.

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.

Madeline's gentle and happy personality breathes through the air as she approaches. Mad typifies the modern girl as she is at her best, always courteous, capable, and helpful. She shines in mathematics. whose problems hold no terrors for her, and is always ready to do whatever she is asked, a trait sadly lacking nowadays, in CaduceiZing or in studying. Made- line's friendships are permanent. With such a record, we can safely trust future generations to her mentorship when she graduates from R. I. C. E. ISABELLE BRAITSCH Basketball Cl-2-3-49: Swimming Cl-25: Tennis Cl-2-35: Hockey C3-45: Social Committee C43 Brown Ibby's pleasant smile has greeted us for the last four years, and has helped us on our weary pilgrimage. She seems to be wholly without a temper. for she is always sweet and patient, Ibby has shone in athletics, abetting almost all of Classical's time-honored victorious games. We might explain her pen- chant for conversing with her neighbors during study hours as a bubbling over of joy:- UAII who joy would win Nlust share it.-happiness was born a twin. GERALD BRONSTEIN Harvard Enter Jerry, our well-known stage-director. Not only has his theatrical talent been recognized and appreciated, but his application to his studies has been a cause for just commend- ation. His oratorical and argumentative ability also has been proved. for there is no one who can resist that direct and per- suasive manner. Jerry's power, however, is not only mental. but physical. For four years his athletic prowess has been a source of delight to Classical rooters at the track meets, To see Jerry clear the bar higher than all others is a pleasure that none but his classmates and personal acquaintances appreciate NORMA ESTELLE BRYDEN Gift Committee Pembroke Upon seeing Norma one will have to admit that good things come in small packages. During her four years at Class- ical, she has gained a large bevy of friends. Although Norma is well known for her whispering proclivities and sudden out- bursts in class at the most unexpected times. yet this deviation from the strait and narrow way does not prevent us from liking her for her jolly good-humor and love of fun. Norma is the life of the party at her lunch table, and something seems to be lacking when she isn't there.
