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.

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.

KQJTQCIJQIJLKQQIQQIQSKQQIQSQIQQIQQTQQXQQIQQIQLJ' XJQQIQQIJQIQ 'Xb In THE CADUCEUS RUTH SILVERMAN Smith College In Ruth we find the ideal student. Perhaps the fact that she has sat for a year under the shadow of Shakespeare helps her to find a path through a forest of dactyls, triangles, French verbs, and other horrid shapes andsights unholy. Ruth is a very cheerful companion, and very generous in taking people home, yet she has one fault: when she says, I don't know anything, we know that it is not true. Next year Ruth will represent Mr. Peck's Tenth Legion at Smith College. LOUIS SILVERMAN Track C252 Basketball C23 Brown Ah Keedl Have you seen Louis's green tie? Many and varied are the shades and designs of cravat that we have beheld, especially after Christmas, but Louis Silverman's outshines them all. Add to his Hibernian taste in neckwear a friendly smile, along with an excellent record in studies, and you will have the reason why Louis is such a luminary in our class. Mbreover, when Louis decides to do a thing obstacles are as nothing. We know that this trait will carry him to the heights of success within the portals of Universitatis Brunensisf' EDIVIOND BROWN SINCLAIR Brown Eddie is a rather quiet fellow, but there is plenty of gray- matter in that head of his, under that apparently rebellious mop of hair, After a course of study at Brown and the University of Vermont, Ed will enploy his talents in the field of medicine. Of course, all these achievements will be carried out with 'fAbie I-Iorvitz as a partner. Has anybody ever seen these two apart? IVOR DEBENHAIVI SPENCER Brown First and foremost this tribute must be given: few members of the Caduceus Board have worked harder for the welfare of the book than Ivor. In fact he gives his best to everything he undertakes, with the result that he displays to an admiring world a well-earned Cum Laude key. But, strictly confi- dentially, Ivor leads a double life, he is none other than the distinguished poet, Gabriel Mejagon. Among his classmates he is recognized as a good scout, a title that can be surpassed by few others. Classical's reputation will be in good hands when he goes to Brown.
