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.

.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 SIDNEY GOLDSTEIN Cross-Country C2-31 : Track Cl-2-3-45 1 Basketball C2-3-4,3 Treasurer of Debating Society C43 3 Social Committee OJ Yale Sid's absent again today. What, you say, again? How does he get away with it? His 'Summa Cum Laude indicates that he estimates scholarship higher than attendance. We wish Sid might deem it fitting to give us a little more of his time, but then his sweetheart, or whatever it is in Connec- ticut, must not be slighted. His numerous unaccountable ab- sencesiubuffalon the teachers, who think he must be sickly, despite his debonair appearance. We wonder whether Sid will be able to get more than the usual allowance of cuts at Yale? KENNETH GORDON Swimming 145: Baseball C45 Brown Here we have Ken, the jovial exponent of the Who 'Tis? , What 'Tis? and Where 'Tis? fad in Classical, ln the beginning, if we heard Who 'Tis? , we could be sure it was Ken, but now we must see the speaker or recognize his voice, to make out the identity. Outside of the class-room Kenneth is always to be seen with Joe, his boon companion. Together they visit the libraries, movies, and various other resorts of pleasure. When Ken goes to Brown, let's hope Joe goes with him. MAX GORDON Brown Max holds a record all his own. He has not only a good showing in his studies, but also a first class rating as a pal. Our first impression of him is that he has the build of a football player, yet never has taken an active part in the school's tourneys. He has a peculiar, indescribable manner that wins him to every- one as a friend: he is also an indispensible factor of the Freak Day. Max has a liking for Chemistry and German, and for all we know he may be a leading chemist in the country who will in time unfold some new miracles in that science. COULAZ GOULAZIAN Tufts College Goulaz is a quiet chap, one of the thinkers of the class, a fellow of the deep river type. He deserves much credit for his untiring efforts in conquering the English language. He came to us four years ago from Armenia, and has brightened many a class by his vivid descriptions of that distant land. In future years we expect to hear of his success as a doctor.
