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.

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.

:IQ T 'L 'X' 'fp THE CADUCEUS BERNARD JOSEPH BUONANNO Track C453 Baseball HJ: Gift Committee C45 Providence College Allow us to present the editor-in-chief of the 'ADigamma Wow. Bill must read all the college magazines to collect the strange tales that appear in his weekly CU issue. He is a jolly good fellow to his classmates, for who has not bene- fitted by his knowledge of Greek? Bill translates so well that the whole neighborhood agrees with him. This is true merit! Our literary enthusiast will take his good cheer to Providence College, where he will receive a royal welcome, as he is one of Classical's favorite sons. CARROLL RICHARD FRANCIS CANNING CDickJ President A. A.: Track C2-3-43 1 Football C4j3 Basketball UU Brown Behold the masculine personification of A'it I When Dick tosses or kicks or hurls the ball, the hopes of every girl in Class- ical are pinned to it. Upon his broad shoulders the Athletic association has the arduous task of supporting itself. His pop- ularity must be deserved, for he has been a true patriot, up- holding the, not always royal, purple staunchly. Dick has a characteristically unique manner of leaving his home room: he performs a half-turn on the top of his desk, grins broadly, shoots rather languidly to the teacher's desk, to depart a few moments later, little troubled by the harangue received. Next year he will sample 'APrexy Faunce's menu. - ' CORINNE I. Picture Committee, Basketball C35 R. I. C. E. Sweet, gentle, true, and studious-that is our Corinne. Ever ready to sympathize with or help someone, she is known and loved by everyone in our class. She always has her work fin- ished, and finished well, at the required time. Although she shines in everything, her favorite study is French. Who of her classmates in the French Division has not blessed her skill when there were two or three seemingly impossible lines in the lesson? And so we leave Corinne to finish her good work at R. I. C. E. GRACE CARROLL Hockey, Gift Committee Basketball R. I. C. E. Grace is one of our Carroll twins, although, which, we may only guess. She is earnest about her studies, as her report cards indicate. She loves sports, especially basketball, and is always on hand to do her bit for the team. In spite of the fact that she is quiet in class, she is a regular bundle of fun to those who know her intimately. Many are the times we Cgirlsj have envied her beautiful, wavy hair. Those who intend to go on with her to R. I. C. E. are indeed fortunate.
