THE CADUCEUS 25 LAURA M. ROBERTS ' Brown Silence is deep as Eternity, speech is shallow as Time. The above signifies, in several unnecessary words, that Laura is very quiet, but has many redeeming qualities. ln this case her very silence worked upon our imagination to such a degree that she became the essence of mystery, a princess in disguise perhaps, come to America from Graustark to get an American education: everything within the scope of our wildest fancies, The idol- breaking exams, however, robbed Laura of her mystery, and gave us the joy of knowing her as she is: and we have found in her a constant pal-one of the most interesting of Room 5's damsel population. -. , 4- ANDREVJ WHITE ROUGVIE Football 149: Hockey C43 Harvard If we were telling how to recognize Andy, we should de- scribe him as a husky young fellow with a smile-emphasizing the smile. The misguided efforts of the teachers to pronounce his name have frequently been productive of merriment. Andy is going to Harvard, where, no doubt, some professor will be- come tongue-tied in attempting to straighten out Rugvie, Rowgvie, and Roogvie. Everybody likes Andy Rougvie Cpronounced Rug-vieD. 1 L ERNEST HORACE RUECKERT That rare, pensive look that sometimes appears on Ernie's face is for Geometry: toward the rest of the world Ernie feels nothing but sunny benevolence. From far off, blood-thirsty France, he has introduced the art of twiddling the elusive rapier. and has attained such high honors in the truly difficult science of fencing, that were any of us Cwrongly of coursej tempted to challenge his honor, we should remain in continual danger of being run through and through. Good luck to you, Ernest, May we never have to meet you in the park at sunrise! ISRAEL SANDLER Dance Committee C43 Boston University This blithesome youth is one who scorns leisure during the study periods. We believe he could leave school for a month and still have French or Latin comp. prepared in advance. His jovial nature, combined with a sunlit smile, has helped to dispel any transient gloom from room 4, many a day. Besides being the happiest member of the class, A'Red is a good student striv- ing to do his best in all he undertakes. Sandler will bear all our good wishes when he closes in on Boston University next year.

,DB 'ia 329 THE CADUCEUS GORDON FRANKLIN PEERS Football HD Unfortunately for Classical. Gordon has devoted his athletic ability chiefly to the where he spends his leisure hours. Swimming is one of his pleasures, Mr. Paine will guarantee that he is a regular barracuda. Gordon is also an artist, and such a conglomeration of talents assures us of a great future before him. Proficiency in tripping light with grace brings him to most student dances. Sad to say, Gordon is bashful. but in spite of this major offence, he is sure to succeed: in fact we expect Gordon to give us a place in history. NORMAN T. PRATT, JR. Photograph Committee Chairman: Baseball Qlj Brown Jimmy, the fair-haired Adonis, is one of the outstanding members of our class. His scholastic record is brilliant, he is an excellent athlete, and is generally pre-eminent at our various social affairs. Vw'hether he is debating with Miss Day or split- ting hairs on a point of Greek syntax, his classmates get a view- point that is original, instructive, and amusing. He takes his energy, his good-nature fboth boundlessj, and his bizarre ties to Brown, whence he will emerge prepared to diffuse learning among some future generations. JOHN BELL RAE Class Treasurer C33 3 Business Manager of Caduceus Board C45 1 Debating Team C45 3 President of Debating Society C49 1 Soccer C45 Brown Who can translate this sentence of Homer? - Ask John: he knows. This extraordinary young man is our honor pupil: the delight of all teachers. ls there ever a question to which he cannot find fitting reply? Not only does John excel in studies, but together with another curly-headed player, he has made the soccer team really formidable at times, Nor does he lack inter- est in social affairs, for so far, he has been strenuously present. Next year he goes to Brown to prepare to annoy the future generation as a teacher. MARY BROWN RAE Caduceus Board C4j Brown or Gibbs Mary and her flaming brother have more than the class's portion of sunset's vivid hue. Prom Scotland she came, and with native tenacity, securely grasped the coveted Summa Gum Laude : but she is not a grind, taking part in all social affairs, and Joining in at every burst of applause at the sporting events. Her less fortunate neighbors always welcome her assistance in solving impending academic difficulties. Two years from now, she will, no doubt. be urging one hunderd words a minute from some perspirmg typewriter, for she will enter Gibbs Secretarial School in September, unless she decides in the meantime to go to Brown.

SEGUR Track C3-4D Bryant and Stratton Here, in the person of Jack, we have one of the big, strong, silent-when the teacher is looking-men who love the great open spaces. Jack has the power of concentration, so that when interested in a study or other dubious activity, he takes it up whole-heartedly, and becomes expert in it. This accounts for his success in mathematics and in German, the first foreign modern language taken up Cunder pressure, we sometimes sup- pose, of undue influencel. Jack's chief ambition in school is to shout No to Doctor Peck's questioning remarks, instead of emitting the customary meek Yes. Well, we shall see what happens in the final recitation. WILLIAM E. SHANNON Who is that tall young fellow who is wandering around the corridors? Why that's William. He is quite famous for getting into trouble and being nobly dismissed from the raom. But although he keeps Miss Sheppard busy worrying about his behavior, William is well-liked by all his fellow-students. He has not yet decided upon his future career, but We know that he cannot help but succeed. PHILIP KEEPER SHORT Brown What's in a name? Philip's height is somewhere around six feet. His scholastic standing is similarly high, as he belongs to Mr. Peck's Tenth Legion. Flip is a very jocular fellow, although his delight in retailing Scotch jokes, old and new, may some day be mentioned as one of the events leading up to the tragedy. A man's man, the admiring glances of the fair sex pass him unheeded. Next year he will wisely search for new jokes at Brown University. We advise the Western Union to ask Miss Gregory's opinion of his value as a messenger.
