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.

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.

:IQ 'XBKL THE CADUCEUS CLARENCE STOUTENBURGH Soccer Cl-45 M. I. T. Whether it is his curly brown hair that makes him popular with the girls, or his romantic nature that makes the girls pop- ular with him, we do not know. At any rate the number of his friends is astonishingly great. Stout and a certain red- headed friend of his contributed largely to the soccer team's success. Clarence is somewhat musical. He plays the piano and the violin, and sings well. His future is undecided: we may hear of him from M. I. T. VIRGINIA STREET Social Committee C3-4j: Basketball C3-4j: Senior Play Wellesley Woman's at best a contradiction still. Gin is the proud possessor of a beautiful rolling which at first hearing impresses us that she must be a sober, artful, young lady with an intense expression. Then there is a graceful flash of magenta, or some equally exotic color, a vision of bubbling vivacity, and a lament, I don't know a thing. ls our quotation much amiss? Ginney is a wonder on the dance floor, light as a feather and besieged by the boys. Her chief endurance feat was a very convincing representation of Joan of Arc, which somewhat reconciled us to the romantic belief that saints are beautiful. Wellesley will receive her next September. RUTH ELIZABETH SUTCLIFEE - Caduceus Board Brown When one is looking for a girl with a whimsical nature and legions of friends, Ruthie is the answer. Although she has been with us for only one year, she has secured a remarkably high position on the teachers' record books. It is a joy to listen to her recitations in that sweet, tremulous voice, and to her compositions, with their tender wealth of thought: then to see the flash of a happy and sympathetic smile. Next year she will make an important addition to the attractions on the hill. , Y EDMUND JOSEPH SYDLOWSKI Basketball Q3-4-J 3 Glee Club C451 Football HJ: Baseball C45 Providence College Sid's proficiency as a basketball player is well known: as also his proficiency in the almost equally strenuous sports of Terpsichore and Tete-a-tete. Slop is one of the most popular fellows in our class: we might even descend to the platitudinous remark that he has won for himself a host of friends in his time at Classical. His chief concern will be with the future health or ill-health of the race, after he has swept his successful way through Providence College.
