.Ip 'ibfcp THE CADUCEUS DOROTHY ELLIOTT Class Secretary C3-45 Iowa University Behold-our secretary fair! So snappy, neat, and debonair. Dot writes the cutest invitations And makes our hearts have palpitations. Our class unusual has become Through all the splendid things she's done. A very popular girl she'll be At Iowa University. JOSEPH EDWARD EANNING Brown Hence, loathed melancholy, seems to be Joe's motto. It is fortunate for us that there are people like Doc, for other- wise school would be a dreary place. Who has not been en- livened by Joe's giggle? The Fanning and Gordon duo is already famous, as a good example of opposites attracting one another. Doc fthe appellation has a mysterious originb can be seen at any game, rooting for Classical, but unfortunately he Hnds dilliculty in making them win. With other aspirants for fame, Joe will begin all over again at Brown next fall. SIDNEY ELANZBAUM University of Pennsylvania To distinguish this Syd from the many others of the same name in our class, we must call him the Thespian. His favorite diversion seems to be acting, by which praiseworthy endeavor he scored great success in the class play: the French play also beneited considerably, in spite of his reluctance to attend re- hearsals. Another of his pleasures seems to be trying to outwit Lew and Marsh in wit, satire, drollness, risibility, and caco- phony. Perhaps it is Syd's imperturbable common sense that helps him in his mathematics, although we question the power of even that faculty to get one by! Next fall, Syd will leave the shelter of our fold for the University of Pennsylvania. SYLVAN FORMAN On the ladder of success, Sylvan is bound to step speedily up the rungs. He came to us from Waltham Cwhere they don't make the watches! 7. Chess and tennis engage all the time that is not spent in performing his fifty lines, Milton, and other unusually pleasantC?J duties. Don't start to talk politics with Sylvan, because you are liable to admit that you don't know anything about the subject. He wishes to announce that he has stopped growing, having at present over six feet of Iongueur. We are sorry to say au reuoir to Syl, and he is sorry Cin a more certain languagej to say good-bye to us,

THE CADUCEUS DAVID LYMAN DAVIDSON Brown David moves among the superlatives. He is the most stu- dious of us all. Did you ever see him wasting a moment in a study-period? Dave is perhaps the sole member of our body who obeys the injunctions of our teachers to the minutest detail. Hard work has its reward, for he has won Summa Cum Laude. Since, unfortunately, David's health has not permit- ted him to take part in school activities, few of us have become intimately acquainted with him. The Chemistry Course at Brown will absorb the interest of this studissimus next fall. 3 - MURIEL A. DEAL Bascketball C2-3-4D: Hockey CZJ: Swimming CZDC Junior Play Personality plus-pep personified!! Where's Peggy? Out in the corridor talking to some 'Awise guy. lt is forbidden- that's why she does it. Peggy may be seen at all the social functions, spreading her sunshine. We have heard much about a daring bet made with one of our classmates, but she won't disclose the secret. Peg loves sports and acting-how she can act and coach, too! She is often seen with her buddies, 'ADot and Ginnie, planning some fun for everyone's benefit. Tou- jours gaie is our verdict. - v JOHN ROBERT JOSEPH DOLAN Basketball C45 Brown Gaze upon the countenance of one of the best actors of our class. Though usually quiet, he is well-known for his inclina- tion towards argument. Jawn declares that his happiest hours are English, for arguments with Miss Day, and study- periods. Basketball is his main topic of conversation during the winter, as he is on the team along with his pals, Dick and Charlie. Next year we shall probably see him wearing a little brown chapeau, trudging blithesomely up the hill. MARY DOROTHY DONOVAN Basketball Cl-2-3-43: Tennis Cl-2-3-453 Hockey C2-35: Baseball C253 Volley Ball C31 Boston School of Physical Education Mary is not merely the Al athlete among the girls in the Senior class: she is unexcelled in the whole school. Basketball, hockey, tennis-Mary takes them all as mere play, and jolly good fun at that. Yet besides the easy grace with which she drops the ball through the hoop, Mary is noted for her grin. Is it any wonder that the girls of room 5 all gather round her desk o'mornings?

BtipqlaelnaincflvciatinbriatinciorfpciprfxipniptlwtixfaSJCQQIJJCQ 32985 THE CADUCEUS FRANCES FOX The young lady with the charming alliterative name is our prima donna. Frances' voice has cheered us often in that outlet for our talents, the French Club. Besides a splendid voice, Frances has a lovely personality. That is why she is so popular' at our social affairs, of course. When we were poor Sophs, giving our first oral compositions, Frances' composure astounded us. Even now when we are supposed to be able to stand and talk on any subject under the sun, we wonder whence comes that calmness and self-control. When Frances leaves us we expect to hear great things of her in the musical world. FRANK D. FRATANTUONO Baseball Clj Tufts College Frat, the big, mellow-voiced, affectionate fellow, the genial good-will ambassador from North Providence. is one of the numerous gentlemen who prefer light-haired ladies. Frat is a good student, and a pleasant, sociable fellow. good to the last drop. He is one of those who make High School more than an institution for learning. Miss Day scored a big hit once when she enthusiastically said that 'AFrat would make a fine center-rush. We ignoramuses don't know just which player of the eleven a center-rush is. but we are confident that - - Frank could play the part well. GLADYS HELEN FUSZARD Business School Gladys has the reputation of being always at school. If the third seat in the third row is vacant we wonder if we've come to school on a holiday, by mistake. The friendship be- tween Gladys and her pal Barbara is one of the things we must admire about her. Their conversation makes us rather jealous of the good times that they have out of school. If it is true that one's favorite subject has any influence on one's future position in life, we should predict that Gladys will be an Algebra teacher. - - HARRY IRVING GOLDSTEIN Columbia Harry might easily be called the perpetual grinnerf' for, next to Joe Fanning, he holds the record. When he grins, the teachers forget their intended reprimands. But there is a sober, studious side to Harry's nature. He swallows the sciences whole, yet has the miraculous quality of digesting them per- fectly. He always gets in his humorous witticisms in the Eng- lish class at the most unexpected times. Harry's nature is one of the beautiful oases in the Desert of Drudgery which helps to make school a little happier than before.
