E H E C A D UE E U s 1 lIl9llRlIE5llliEMl3E This edition of the Caduceus is a sincere attempt to perpetuate the class of Nineteen-Hundred-Twenty-Nine, to give credit to those who have partaken in school activities, and to amuse the reader. The Board of Editors well knew the difficulty of this task, as Well as their own shortcomings, and if they have' failed to achieve any of these ends, they respectfully beg the reader's indulgence. i1 ri E C A DUE E U S V S 54 Y 1 , -4, Xe.

Her excellent ability, besides her ever-present charm and poise, will always make her popular as a concert player. Betty's charm is not seen only while playing, however. The group that always gathers around her in cor- ridors. at student dances, and everywhere she goes, proves how popular her gaiety and good-humor make her. Truly Betty's presenc: at Classical is a delightful obligato to our school life. i good luck, old pal. MICHAEL ARCIERO University of Southern California Archief-the Beau Brummel of the class of '29, Qur ex- ponent of sartorial elegance is a regular man-about-town, for each evening he and Fami stroll about en ville, admiring the scenery. Archie's manners are absolutely impeccable-fa thorough gentleman in every sense of the word. He is always present at our social affairs. After graduating from Classical he will journey out to California. ln our opinion Archie would make a good diplomat. for he retains his even temper and gentlemanly bearing throughout the most trying circumstances. l HENRY RODMAN ANDERSON Social Committee 6-H Supper 149 Brown Behold Andy, our genial all round good fellow A hlond, of course. Last year as final exams we e approaching Andy's Dad promised him a glittering new Ford fyou know those thing-a-mabobs on four wheclsj if he pased them all Four 'days after the close of school he was sporting around in his gay little truck. Andy has acquired countless friends during his four years at Classical, and has always enjoyed creditable marks. ln the fall he will matriculatc at the College under the Elms, where we expect great things of him Au revoir and i THE CADUCEUS DORIS HARRIET AUST Glee Club CZ, 3, 45: Tennis C3, 45: Baseball Cl, 2, 3. 45: Swimming C3, 45 Eyes glad with smiles and brow of pearl Shadowed by many a careless curl. Yes, Doris is one of those girls who smile and are sure that all's right with the world if it keeps cheerful. She can be seen at our socials and dances making happy those who are lucky enough to have her as a partner. We always enjoy hearing Dot deliver compositions in that slow. characteristic manner of hers. She is bound to smile through life's troubles, which will be lighter because of her attitude toward them. MAURICE SAMUEL AUSTIN Swimming C3-45: Football C35 Brown And here is Austin-an essential element in our Senior class. His main obejctive in life is to endeavor to persuade his fellow inmates that his way of doing things is a time and labor-saving proposition. Who knows? Fame may come yet through his ingenious devices. Realizing that his classmates are rather inferior in know- ledge, Austin frequently soars on high in a regular Websterian spasm. Taking all things into consideration, we predict a brilliant law career. Austin's presence has always been a source of delight to the rest of us, and has helped to distinguish our Senior class from those who have gone before. RICHARD ARDEN BATCHELDER Senior Play: Football C45 : Manager Hockey C35 A frolicsome laugh, and a smiling face: these are the coveted possessions of our Bluey. Besides bringing joy to all the inhabi- tants of this school, Bat has other accomplishments. He has engaged in the murderous sport of Shove and Haul, other- wise known as football. Bat has proved a source of woe to the opposing backs, for when he hits them. they stay hit. Richard participated in the Senior Play, displaying his genius as Sir Percy Well. Heres luck. Dick, May some fair college appreciate you! LOUIS CHESTER WILLIAM BEKEL Baseball C2-3-45: Basketball C453 Football C3-45 Brown Chet is what we call a sweet ball-player. His dependable and accurate fielding has plugged up the short-field in great shape for three seasons. and he certainly does not handle a bat as though he had never seen one before. We invariably see him with his crony. In spite of his many outside activities, he has always managed to get by in good shape. After his gradua- tion from Brown, he intends to become a medico. In this profes- sion we are sure that he will be as successful as he is in squelching the hopes of ambitious batsmen who elect to hammer the onion past him. THE CADUCEUS WILLIAM BOJAR Fencing 12, 45: Tennis 13, 45 Brown Here is our champion whistler. Yes, Will's favorite selection is O Tannenbaumu which he, as Johann, rendered very beauti- fully in our Cierman play. We know that he can also agitate the ivories else how could he have written such a good essay on the influence of music. He is given to be very modest but has very original ideas and always displays an unusual clever brand of common sense. This trait will carry him far Mon life's com- mon way. BARBARA CLAIRE BROMLEY Vice-President 13-49: Class Play 131: Senior Play: Basket-Ball 1l, Zll Tennis fl, 2, 'SJ Kingston Barb is preeminently a good sport. In whatever activities she has taken part at Classical, she has been noted for her good- humor, fairness, and generosity-all qualities necessary for good-sportmanship. No one has ever teased her enough to ruffle her temper, nor would they want to, for real friendship such as she gives us is not lightly valued. Her classmates have honored her deservedly by making her Vice-President, and the teachers by giving her their friendship. There is no need of wishing Barb good-luck here, for each of us will have sincerely done that himself before graduation. DOROTHY BURNSIDE Caduceus Board Vvlitty, sweet, loving, and good-natured are characteristic of qualities. which only partially describe this young lass, for they are varied and numerous and tend to make her a diligent student and a delightful friend. She is such an all-'round good sport that it is impossible for one to describe all her admirable traits. As a brook ripples along until it attains its goal, so Dot has sailed her way through the portals of Classical. May the ship of Good-Fortune bear you on your course. MILDRED LOUISE CAMPBELL Caduceus Board 147 Senior Play Pembroke Hail to the young lady with the soothing voice! If you haven't heard it, you have missed some music. Every one tells his failures and triumphs to Milly, simply because she is so much interested in everybody and everything. As a member of the Caduceus Board. she has been a most enthusiastic worker. We admire greatly the ready willingness with which she took upon herself all the bothersome little details. To pay tribute to all of Milly's ine qualities would take too much space, but to make it short, she's a fourteen-karat girl. C E iii? c A DCUEEU if if TT if T ELIZABETH BATES CANNON Social Committee UD: Hockey C43 Zest for living characterizes everything Betty does. Whether she is leading the cheering at a foot-ball game. racing after a hockey ball, Hitting from one partner to another at the class dances, or enjoying her nick-name Bussie, she puts a vim into her movements that makes her a delight to watch. Betty's friends have all gained much from association with her, for her generous deeds and ready smile have inspired them to greater kindliness and generosity. May your joie de vivre bring you happiness through the years, Betty. THOMAS CAPASSO Photograph Committee 14D Brown Tommy, being a Summa, is by all means deserving of recognition. But he suffers by the lack of publicity accorded scholars as c'ompared with athletes, for upon mentioning him to one who does not know him one invariably hears: Any relation to the football player? And so Tommy's name always connotes that of his illustrious brother. But in school we all know him and like him. He should derive great satisfaction from that little golden cross, as he certainly worked enough for it. His energy, perseverance, and thoroughness will go far toward helping him in his struggle for existence in future years. MARY CARANCI Here is one of our quietest girls. She does not say much, but enjoys all the fun and takes part in it whole-heartedly. Mary has set a good example for the class in thorough, patient work which she gladly and generously dispenses to those who are troubled with a diflicult problem. Although Mary came to us from Italy only a few years before she entered Classical. she has done well in mastering our difficult language. She is evif dently well-equipped to meet anything that the future may have in store for her. THOMAS BARRY CASEY Hockey 12, 3, 47 : Captain 147: Football C3451 Track fl, 2, 31 Brown Casey has a way of making every one laugh. If you happen to hear him shouting, I've got your old cow, mister, don't be alarmed. That's only the result of a frightful experience in Scituate. In spite of his weakness for cows, Tom made an able Captain of this year's hockey team, playing defense so zealously that he was referred to as the bad man of the league. In addi- tion to hockey. he participates in football and track. Tom is going to entertain his teachers for another year, after which he intends to go to Brown. 'R R' T ETAEF JOSEPH CASTELLUCCI Basketball Cl, 27: Track Cl, 23 Brown Joe is the little boy with the long name. Because of his diminutive stature the front seats have always been awarded him. In these places of vantage Cor disadvantagej he has been ever ready to act as messenger for the teachers, and at this post he has served the faculty loyally. Joe has a mania for tinkering with the insides of automobiles and many times he has played the Eli Whitney act on some- one's model T, Throughout his career at Classical Joe has excelled in math- ematics, and someday will probably be a worthy rival of Ar- chimedes himself. MARIE CAMELLA CATALOZZI - Pembroke We are prone to look back at ancestry when unusual traits, good or bad, are prominent in a person, Association with Marie accordingly takes us back to old Italy, where, in a villa. we visualize a fair lady devoted to music and art, the soul of generosity and kindness. Such traits must have been strong in her ancestors, to show so prominently in Marie. We do not wish to influence Marie in her choice of a profession. but We imagine she would be successful at almost anything. MARY LOUISE CAVANAGH Caduceus Board Mary's greatest charms are the willingness with which she always does anything requested of her, and the ready smile that she has for every one. When some one was needed to type- write the 'ACaduceus copy, she was so cheerfully ready to give her time and efforts to this laborious task that the thanks of the whole board are due her. Mary's good marks prove what her classmates have long known4that her lessons are always well prepared and learned. All these virtues made Mary well- liked by all her classmates, and have given her many more good friends than she herself realizes. ALEXANDER CIOLFI Soccer Ql, 29: Baseball Ql, 29 Brown Ci has been our friend and companion for four years, and during that time he has pursued the even tenor of his way. acting always as befits a gentleman, and steadily gaining the esteem of his teachers and the good fellowship of all his class- mates. Although a quiet fellow in the classroom he is one of the jolliest outside. Can you imagine a student dance without Ci stepping around? Nay, friends, neither can we. Ci is going to Brown in order that he may train his mind to wrest a living from this bountiful Earth. , L,,:iTI,,E, RH5, UE,E,U,?,I:TI1ii JANE TERESA CLARK Social Committee 147 3 Supper Committee 449. R. l. C. E. When all your castles have tumbled to earth And your Virgil you must prepare. Jane's ready with ever-consoling mirth To lighten your trouble and care. With her lovable smile and helping ways And her manner so debonair, She's made our journey through Classical's maze More joyful and easy to bear. JOHN GATELY COFFEY Football Mgr. HJ: Hockey 43-45: Class Treasurer HQ M. I. T. 'AMr. Peck wants to see Coffey. This was heard on the average of twice a day, for Jack was on the Athletic and Social Committees and was Football Manager at one time or another. He measures over six feet with his hair combed flat Kas it never isJ, and his shoulders are correspondingly broad. So broad are they indeed that the class of twenty-nine formed the habit of parking most of its worries and troubles there. Jack is a natural manager and organizer as well as a student and athlete. His ability in sports and in his studies will make him a welcome addition at M. l. T. next Fall. BERNARD COHEN Brown A statement is made by a teacher: a comment is made by a classmate. The teacher might be any one of thirty but the one making the comment could be none other than Bernie. Usually his remarks are of a humorous nature. But it is not uncommon to hear him make a statement which shows his ability to be above the average. He is always ready to share his knowledge with anybody Cask Goldmany and is seen at his best in a history class. Bernie can tell you so many tricks of the trade that we may expect to see him in the future holding some promi- nent business position. MILTON COHEN Brown UHcllof ffl:rom the unmistakable tone of his favorite word of greeting, we know it is Milt without looking at him. We then proceed to ask any question whatever about the lesson which we are about to take up, and be sure of its being answered correctly. But do not judge from this statement that Cohen is a grind -he can master his lessons without the tedious hours of preparation that most of us require. When other of our solid geometricians return from Tech with the sad tale of a Z or 3 in a test, Milton triumphantly reports 8 or 'N Li TEETEFAFLSTJFEFEGFS TT HAZEL ELIZABETH CORNELL Pembroke Hazel never causes a hullabaloo: she is very quiet and un- obstrusive. Not that she isn't interested in the mischievous pranks of others, for her cheery laugh belies this impression. Wluen the Fates have utterly destroyed one's fondest ambitions. fashion decrees that one go to Hazel for encouragement and sym- pathy- -a surprisingly sensible vogue, since she is always ready to do her bit to spur the go-getters on to higer endeavors. All's well, Hazel, for remember that gentleness often conquers when force doesn't. ROWLAND ATCHERLEY CROWELL Orchestra My 1 French Club Committee: Dance Committee Brown Rowland came to us from Moses Brown and stayed with us during his Senior Year. Although he was at Classical only one year, he created a fine impression. He was a big hit as drummer in the school orchestra, and was instrumental in or- ganizing the student dances. As a member of the French Club Committee he has helped entertain those who came to the meetings of the club. It is no mean feat to keep people amused, Rowland. Don't lose your ability in this line when you go up to Brown. DOROTHY AILEEN DALE R. l. C. E. Here comes our silver girl, laughing as usual. Dot is always ready to help solve that example in algebra which just will not come out right. We don't know where she and her cousin Jane find so much to talk about, but we see them walk- ing arm-in-arm to every class with a different topic to discuss each time. She has been rather down hearted since a certain member of our class departed for the realms of Technical: but she doesn't seem to have been kept awake nights by this great misfortune. Vv'e hope that Dot will be as persevering in all her future work as she has been at Classical. 5.4 MARGARET MARY ANGELA DANTONE Pembroke Dr. Peck has long associated Peggy with lights by making her the oflicial controller in the lecture room. Now this does not mean that she is by nature light or frivolous-she is not even so as to complexion. Perhaps the good Doctor is reminded of a light when he sees her, for our little classmate has won a Summa Cum Laude. She will surely become a sparkling gem in the diadem of Pembroke. All told, we forecast a brilliant future for her. TQTTSTS T T TTS TTMTTCJA D U C E U s Brown l VIRGINIA RITA DAVIS Pembroke Virginia has everything that a Senior should have but hasn't --poise. She claims no favorite study: yet she stands high in all of them. Her acquired knowledge is shared with those who are less fortunate or less ambitious. She is quietly independent. She rarely needs assistance from any one. She entered Classical, as a Sophomore, from South Kingston and has surrounded her- self with a multitude of friends, won by her sweetness and gentleness. Good luck, Virginia! The best wishes of the class go with you. JANET ANN DEUTCH Pembroke Like Cecilia and Rosalind of Shakespeare's tale, Janet and her chum Sadie are almost twins: Wheresoe'er we went, like Junc-'s swans, still we went coupled and inseparable. Janet is best known for her sunny disposition, as she always has a smile and cheery word for every one. When she coughs or clears her throat. one may be sure to see Sadie look up, for those are their high-signs. Such sweetness as Janet's is like a breath of rare perfume. ADELAIDE MARY DAVIDSON Tennis fl 25 Although Adelaide appears to be very demure and retiring as she comes smilingly down the corridor she can be as noisy as the rest of the A'bunch, when her mind 1S free from the worry of lessons. This maiden with the long locks has a liking for poetry. She has proved her skill to h r nearest and dearest but we have not yet seen her work In publlc circulation llow ever, we expect to read volumes of her works In years to come ANNA DENMARK Pembroke Anna, a little acrobat in the circus of life has stcadllv climbed the ladder to graduation, capturing new frrends and losing nary a one at each upward rung She has successfully balanced joy and good times in one hand with work and studies in the other. She is a loyal friend on whom every one relies with the assurance of her staunch assistance The most sincere wishes of your classmates go with you It s with sadness In our hearts that we bid you farewell THE CADUCEUS l3 DORIS MARIE DEVENISH Senior Play: Basketball C3, 43: Hockey C33 R. I. C. E. Dot is known for her wonderful voice, which she has used to great advantage in the Cilee Club and Senior Play. In the comparatively short time since her transfer from Cranston she has become very busy, and has made many good friends. Her work in the Senior Play was especially good, but 'ADot has also done well on the girl's basketball team. She admits that Classi- cal has helped her. and she certainly has tried to do her share for Classical! Talented, friendly, and always a good sport, Dot will End a welcome wherever she goes. MANRICO PETER DIEUSCO Baseball 42, 3, 49 1 Soccer fl, 21: Football 143 Brown Man has been our best bet in rightfield for the last two years, and he has Hlled that position to good advantage. Wherever he may be, he always makes the best of a bad situation by giving vent to some dry wit or by laughing it off. Man is often seen with his good-time friends, Ciolfi and Eigliolini, wending their way down town to take in some snappy show. He and these same companions will make a lively trio of Brownies to amble up College Hill next fall. ALBFRT Di IORIO Soccer Cl, 29: Baseball Q43 Providence College Hence, loathed Melancholy seems to be Di Iorio's philos- ophy. I-Ie is full of Hquips, cranks, and wanton wiles, which greatly relieve the monotony of the classroom. He may always be seen with his better half, the other member of the D duet, Heck. Di Iorio has always attended the social events of the school. Al expects to further his education at P. C. Anyone who voluntarily reads Charles Lamb and Joseph Conrad is likely to make the right choices in life. ANTONIO DIIORIO Soccer fl-2-3-43: Track 42-3-43: Basketball 143 Brown Allow us to present the close-up of a calm and noble class- mate, Antonio, better known to us as Endowed with a captivating good nature and a will to learn, this fine looking chap has succeeded admirably at Classical. Had all of us been as faithful in preparing our lessons as many of the Classical faculty wouldn't have gray hair to-day as a result of trying to inflate a 65 to a 70. More than being a scholar. he is also a steady performer on the track and an all-important cog in the purple and white basketball and soccer teams. THE CADUCEUS r HECTOR DE SCI ULLO Providence College Who is that ruddy-cheeked lad strolling down our corridor? Why, none other than our mighty Hector. D is usually seen with his chum Al. We can always count on De Sciullo to brighten the gloominess of our class-room by uttering some of his witty remarks. We have never held a social affair without D attending, thus making him quite popular among his fel- low classmates. His favorite pastime is to translate Greek at sight. We hear that his intentions is to enter P. C. where he will endeavor to brighten the name of Classical. JOSEPH PATRICK DONOVAN Providence College Dinny has what most people need and very few have. He has that ability of laughing as heartily at the jokes on him- self as at those on some other victim. That's being a regular fellow and a good sport. He is an athletic fan, and follows Classical's teams in most of their games. When roaming the wilds of Mount Pleasant, Dinny is usually with Chug Motta. He handles any work well, whether in or out of school. With his ability to take things as they come and to laugh away trouble, Dinny will make good wherever he goes. EVELYN MARGARET DOYLE Many of Evelyn's classmates are indebted to her for the numerous hearty laughs which they have had at the expense of her wit, This quality of being able to turn everything, even a lecture from a teacher, into a joke has made Evelyn welcome in every crowd. It has been a real treat to hear her give an oral composition, for she never has an her or a moment's hesitation. In fact her remarkable ability in speaking has led u.s to suspect that we shall some day find her a teacher of declamation, ALMA NICHOLS DRABBLE Smith College A'Keeping up with the times appears to be Alma's motto. There doesn't seem to be a play which she has not seen, a book which she has not read. nor has her knowledge of the classics ever been found wanting. to explain an allusion in any one of our various studies. All this sounds very serious, but it didn't take us long to discover that Alma has also a mischievous side to her nature. Just watch her some day over in her special corner of room 6 laughing with her neighbors over some joke or other, and judge for yourself! Next year she will resume her quest for knowledge at Smith. THE CADUCEUS FRANCIS JAMES DROMGOOLE Football I2-3-43: Baseball C3-43: Hockey L-UZ Basketball fl-Z-3-4,3 Holy Cross Drommy and his ever-present smile are well known to every Classical student as well as to the athletic teams represent- ing the various high schools of the city. He manipulates a football. basketball, or baseball with equal proficiency. t'And heres a secret: he claims to be the original Hwoman-hater, but we venture to say that some day he'll be repeating. I do. iJ Not satisfied with Classical's limited curriculum, he visits both Technical and Commercial daily in further quest of knowledge. Next year will End Drommy, together with his pal Chug, still wearing the royal purple-this time at Holy Cross. Brown day a handsome recompense. RUTH VIRGINIA EMMONS R. I. C. E. NVriting a personal for Ginnie seems almost unnecessary. Just a glance at the accompanying photograph proves what a delightful young person she is. We have never known Ginnie to be angry. Not even discouraging poetry of Virgil can ruffle her quiet. sunny countenance. The fact that she's not so con- spicuous in school activities as some of her classmates does not seem in the least to hamper her at making friends. She is a pal, and a real, true Classicalite, for she comes all the way from Cranston to be with us. Brown MICHAEL EDWARDS Indoor Track 41,2, 'SJ Irack 43 4 A tough old line of Vergil or a seemingly untranslatable passage of Homer and a discouraged Senior characterizes gloom' Enter Edwards and watch the atmosphere automatically brighten, for many has been the time that he has extracted us from the hopeless depths of Latin and Greek translations Besides being the Will Rogers of our class he has a marked literary propensity for Classical mythology having also read all the western stories ever written. May the ability which hc has displayed in writing pseudo-scientific themes bring to him some RUSSEI- MONROE EVERSON XVhenever Miss Sheppard needs a pad pcn or pencil she makes directly for Russel's desk, where she knows she will find a plentiful supply. Rus's economy enables him to amass a large stock of such oddities while the rest of us are clamoring for more. But our care-free eater of pret7els came to grief one day when he attempted to vault the janitor s waste basket Although such physical feats are not his forte he makes up for this in mental ability. We hope his professors will agree with us on this point at Brown and the School of Design which are to share the pleasure of his presence for the next four ycars LEONARD PAIN l Brown PTHE CADUCEUS JANET LUCILLE PAIN Tennis C451 Swimming C41 Pembroke Any one that doesn't know Janet surely is missing some- thing. She looks quiet, but oh, my-she certainly can make things hum when she gets started. She is a specimen of a girl who is ambitious and an all-'round pal. In addition to her joyous disposition Janet is a good student and all who know her regard her as one good sport. She stands firmly in- trenched in the hearts of her friends. With the best of wishes we make this toast, To Your Future. Ladies and gentlemen, let me present Dr. Pain. He is not a doctor of science, medicine, or law. but of that alluring trait called bashfulness. Usually we do not consider bashfulness alluring, but in this it certainly is. When he walks down the corridor the girls wonder what thoughts hide behind that mod- est exterior. Another outstanding characteristic of Leonards is his good manners. Consequently even if in nothing else Cwhich is not truej he is certainly certiied in the art of being a gentleman. Leonard has a first cousin in this class. Brown would fain receive them both through the Van Wickle gates. HUGO ERMEDE EAMIGLIETTI University of Southern California Since traveling seems to be Eami's specialty, we might call him our peregrinator QAttention Mr. Peck's brilliant Latin deriversfj Good nature too-he has plenty of it. Teachers can testify as to his artistic taste in the selection of Christmas and Easter cards. Had Pami only harnessed up his liveliness of spirit to some athletic activity, he might now be sporting the royal C. We hear, by the way, that sunny California is magnitizing our classmate to her portals of learning. GRACE ELEANOR PARNUM Pembroke Shall we call her blonde or brunette? Here's a good chance for argument because this young lady has a fair skin, brown eyes, and medium brown hair. She has a pleasant smile and is as loquacious as Calvin Coolidge in class, although she can talk fluently enough when with her chums. lt has been noticed in Room 4 that Eleanor sometimes comes dashing in just before the 8:30 bell. We all know the reason for this breezy entrance, for Eleanor lives in the country fonly one street over the city- line.l You will not be alone in the next four years, Eleanor, since you have decided to complete your studies at Pembroke. I T ?U c ia U si I ANTHONY FIGLIOLINI Baseball C33 Brown Fig has an enviable disposition which has caused him to be well liked by all of his daily associates. During a study period if he isn't zealously scanning his text-books with a seemingly genuine seriousness, he is highly enjoying the innumerable episodes of humor which are always prevalent in his section of the room. Fig is very diligent in the preparation of his studies: although no mean athlete he has given up practically all sport activities for scholastic duties. He has chosen Brown as his Alma- Mater-to-be. ELIZABETH MARGARET FLANAGAN Pembroke Has anybody done the geometry? I haven't done a thing. Liz can be heard explaining in the locker-room on Monday morning-merely camouflage, as her recitations give evidence to the contrary. The fact that she attends all the class festivities shows that she is socially inclined. Perhaps she will follow in the footsteps of the Classical faculty and become a teacher her- self. If so, we predict many bouquets of posies standing on her desk. EVANGELINE GL ADYS FRANCIS Caduceus Board: Volley Ball fl-2-3-47: Tennis C2-3-431 Basket-ball fl-2-3-43: Hockey I3-43: Swimming C2-3g Rhode Island School of Design Evangeline calls to our minds a vision of Longfellow's meek Evangeline. Imagine that Arcadian maiden playing tennis. drawing, doing trig, etc. It simply won't be imagined, so we call our Evangeline Jackie She is a fine girl to have for a friend: one who doesn't throw up her hands in dismay at the idea of doing some one else's lessons in an emergency. We all wish you heaps of success in your art work, Jackie, and some day when you have an exhibition in the Metropolitan, the rest of us will say, Oh, yes, Evangeline Francis! Why I went to iigh-school with her. CATHERINE KELLY FREEL Basketball fl-2-3-49: Swimming C273 Gift Committee Q41 R. I. C. E. i'Les apparences sont trompeusesfn That's what you'd say if you knew Kitty as well as we do, She appears to be quiet, but manages to make her wants know without staying after school in the numerous meditation classes held in room 4. If you should go to the girls' basketball games, you'd see Kitty with her friend Bing doing their best to bring victory to our Classical. You might think that she is interested only in athlet- ics, but she's always ready to help you with your Vergil and to tell you what movie is the best. After graduation Kitty expects to enter R. I, C. E., where we wish her all success. THE CADUCEUS ALBERT GEBELIN Football HD: Photograph Committee C451 Swimming C43 Annapolis Little Rock came to Classical last September from way out West in Arkansas, where men are men, and women are different. He has made a place for himself by his clever head- work in the class-room and on the football field.

In the classroom he proved absolutely that athletics and studies can be mixed successfully. Little Rock is, all in all, a regular lar Gibraltar. strong and dependable. ANTHONY GELARDI Football I3-45 3 Photograph Committee Q45 Rhode Island State College XVhen the coach puts a light man into the football line, he must have real ability. The opposition invariably hammers him as a weak spot. Yet Ci held his place on Classical's team for two years. ln spite of his slight weight, he made his posi- tion a strong one by reason of his speed and punch. His quiet good-humor and neat personal appearance have made him popular among the fellows and girls alike at Classical. Because of his good work in math and his liking for scientific work, G is going to move into the classes at Kingston next Fall to take up engineering. WILLIAM GERSTENBLATT Brown Classical was certainly fortunate when this young man de- cided to study here upon his graduation from Sackett Street School. Billy is rarely seen without some companions, deep in a discussion of some learned subject. His scholastic ability is very high, and it doesn't take very much effort on his part to get good marks. He plans to continue his studies at Brown, where his successful work will doubtless be kept up. OSCAR GOLDMAN Track Ll, 25: Debating Society fl, 23 Brown This is the lad who puts humor into all our classes. lf silence is golden, Oscar must be full of lead. Seldom does a day pass that Ossie does not utter some witticism that makes even the teachers laugh. But do not think he spends all his time fooling. Ask Miss Day, for she has often credited him with a ine, co-operative spirit. He surely deserves credit for finish- ing his four years with a good record, as he spends a large amount of his time after school in working. Such ambition as his deserves the greatest reward. T T Ti T H'i5'?k?n U C E U s HARRY GOLDSTEIN Brown Harry is a quiet classmate who never has been known to say I'm unprepared. He often surprises us with his great range of knowledge, particularly in current events. Being a conscien- tious student he naturally has always received good marks, espe- cially in history, in which he has often come to the aid of the class when the rest of us knew nothing about the question. If he keeps up his standard of good work, we may some day see him among the honor-members at college.

Unlike, however, the popular conception of poets. she is lively and full of pep. Hidden within some recesses of her mind is a great stock of jokes and humerous anecdotes, which are brought forth and quoted at the most opportune moments. She is one of the most gifted girls of the class, and her work in the literary line has been a source of delight to her English teacher. May the talent that so aptly imitated Milton grow in inward ripenessf' Be a friend. You don't need money: Just a disposition sunny. Such is Tom's motto, and he surely lives up to it at all times. His constant and inseparable classmate and friend is al- ways Stewart, whether in or out of school, Besides being such a good friend, Tom is an excellent student of the kind that always strives to do good work. His ability for trying hard has had good results, especially in his theme-writing. He has not yet decided upon his future, but we can be sure that his decision will be well-made when he enters Brown next fall. EDITH HASSENFELD Much credit is due Edith for her accomplishment of com- pleting a high school education seven years after she came to America from Russia. Although she is one of the quieter mem- bers of our class she has a great many friends to attest to her good-nature. There is a peaceful undercurrent of sympathy, flowing beneath a quiet exterior, which many have learned to appreciate. Edith's acquaintances will remember in years to come how she added that comforting touch to the lives of her friends, MARION I OUISE HATHAWAY Class Play 147 : Senior Play Wheaton There are three Marions. One is the quiet student who has carried away modestly the coveted Summa Cum Laude. Another Marion is the sweet, generous girl who willingly helps every one who is not imbued with the inclination to study, as she is. The third Marion is one whom few of her classmates know. When studies are forgotten, she is full of life, peppy, ready for anything and everything, and above all, a corking good sport. She will always be a favorite wherever she goes, and our wishes for the best of luck will go with her.

She's quiet-oh yes, but that seems to be one of the qualities people like most in her. We expect to see Bev walk off with more than one prize exam- ination next year at Pembroke.

With her trusty old sword of Hne good spirit in one hand and her shield of friendliness in the other. she has succeeded admirably in her enterprise. Mary has spread her domain to the Held of athletics, where her exploits have been outstanding. Her jolly good-humor has helped materially to offset the dull, oppressive mustiness of school-life. and has been. to boot, the cause of many an all-effacing grin.

No myopic grind is he of the well- arranged curls, for he is a social luminary second to none.

ISRAEL KAPNICK Debating Society Cl, 2, 35 Brown Perhaps you have often wondered who the girl is whos: sweet soprano voice often floats through our time-honored cor- ridors. Curiously enough, she is to be found in the bass section at Mr. Grant's Monday Morning Musicales, in the per- son of Mr. Kapnick. Israel appeared in school one morning concealed under a pair of goggles in order to make the teachers think him studious. But why he needs glasses for that. when his knowledge of the lessons is enough in itself, is a mystery. Kapnick is the second of a line of Israels famous as class babies. since he succeeds Israel Sandler in that honor. We hope that a little child shall lead them at Brunonia next year. JACOB KATZ Fencing Cl-2-3-4j: Captain HD: Debating Club fl-2-37: Treasurer Q23 Brown Jack, intimately called Judge, is one of the most forceful debaters that the school has known.

But Jack knows how to have some fun, too, for he supports all school affairs and dances. I'm going to let you in on a secret: Jack is well liked by every teacher in the school. His ambition is to become a chemical engineer.

Once in a while, it is true, when in the company of lively spirits he takes on chameleon-like the color of his surroundings. Occasionally also, his English teacher bears witness to the cropping out of original ideas. Conscientious he is, too, with an evident desire to get his work done on time. Although he is not what one would call a commingler, he is greatly appreciated by his best friends. ANNA KOPIT H' One of Anna s most remarkable traits is her cheerful and philosophic manner of taking all blows to her ambitions. Anna, seeking the entrance to the path of happy high school days, was confronted by the gate-keeper, Hard Work. Though the latter is a rather uncompromising chap, by a little flirting she softened his hard heart and persuaded him to be lenient with her. This was the proverbial path of roses, although obstructed by such obstacles as German and algebra. She passed these and skipped lightly along to the end, where she readily received a diploma from the guard. Here's to prosperity to come, Anna.

His career in this honorable institution of culture has been a signal success, inasmuch as he is one of the lectin comprising the Summa Cum Laude. Joe deems it necessary that he be present at all and sundry social affairs, thus making it harder for those of lesser social accomplishments. He is, more- over, eminently deserving of a few Carnegie medals, as he has many, many times saved the life of a certain less conscientious party in our good Mr. Peck's classes. lncidentally, Joe is the dis- coverer of the horse-tamers in Homer's dainty jingle, THE CADUCEUS HARRIET AMY LEGG Pembroke i Harriet's opinion of her four years at Classical is set forth in that eloquent, soul-stirring expression, Oh, my cow.

During her four years at Classical she has shown her unswerv- ing determination not to give up the ship, and now on gradua- tion day she will receive her reward for having met the enemy and made him hers.

The future looks dark, but we hope he will come to Classical's games as an 'fold grad, at least. In spite of hard work and study, Bill has found time to become acquainted with almost every student who has come to Classical since he entered. Any one can have a large group of acquaintances, but it's only people like Bill that make so many friends.

The genial leader of 'AMy Gang has been to us all this time Bennie Sheeanof' but the more erudite fourth grade teachers discovered that it should be Skeeano, Well, we never did speak very good Italian, and Sheeano is good enough for us. Bennie has scholastic ability, and takes his French, especially, very seriously. He makes a real business of dancing, however, and can 'frassle' in Arcadia fash- ion or glide in regular orthodox style. He is, moreover, the originator of many intricate and fancy steps which he practices upon anyone who is far enough advanced to dance with him.

When Trudie entered Classical, she was lost in a seeth- ing, angry mob of freshmen clamoring for admittance to the sacred portals of knowledge. She soon found her bearings, however, and success took her by the hand. Virgil, that realm of terrors, holds no horrors for her. Besides being a good student, Gertrude has many other enviable accomplishments. Her acting in the junior and German plays has shown her histrionic ability. Trudie's pleasant disposition has won innumerable friends, who are all assured of her triumphant victories over any difficulties which may come in her path.

We know Sadie's smile will always make friends for her. since so many here at Classical have been captivated by it's charm. We hope that Sadie will never forget her old friends, for we shall always remember her. ROBERT HAROLD SICARD R. I.

What is more, he never neglects his studies. a fact which is shown by his recitations and his quarterly reports, His earnestness, combined with his appreciation of humor. will do much towards making him a success at this college and later in life. LOUISE STEERE Louise is one of the few girls who believe that silence is golden. She has always been a good classmate and friend, and we shall be really sorry to lose her. Her quiet and studious manner has endeared Louise to all who know her. She studies hard and gets the greatest of pleasure in having her work always well-done. Vwiithout being a girl athlete or a magnincent dancer, Louise has made her place in Classical. When she graduates. that place is going to seem very, very empty.

Out of seven games played, the Purple and White won two, lost three, and tied two. On the Hrst string squad were Capt. Sollitto, Picerne, Dromgoole, Bekel, I-Iindle, Vacca, Batchelder, IVIcCaffrey, Kanelos, lVlcKiernan and Pianka. Coach Calise was well supplied with reserve material in the persons of Gelardi, Williams, Gebelin, Gentile, Sackin, Grossman, Kelly, Johnson and Casey. The feature event of the City's Columbus Day program at the Cycledrome was the Classical-Pawtucket game, in which Here Picerne played his best football of the year, despite the fact that he was knocked out two or three times. It was largely through his ex- hibition of grit and tetermination that Classi- sical came through on the long end of the score. Throughout the season Capt. Sollitto lived up to his good reputation of the '27 campaign. acting as a pivot around which the whole team functioned. Wally Pianka, husky tackle and Capt.-elect, was a tower of strength on the line, while Al Gebelin dem- onstrate dhow they hold 'em out in Ar- kansas. Fighting Tommy Casey, Jim McCaf- frey, Bekel, and Jack Kelly could always be counted on when three or four yards were needed to make first down. Owing to his elongated stature, Franny Dromgoole was able to nab many a pass which seemed doomed to the ground. On the other end McKiernan showed great fleetness in running down punts. From the point of view of the team. how- ever, the glory of the stars just mentioned must be shared with those whose work was not so spectacular, but who made possible many brilliant plays: for the fellow who car- ries the ball cannot go far without ten capable, wide-awake team-mates. And it is more than a good center that enables a line to hold. Therefore, if credit goes where credit is due, it goes to the team as a whole and to Coach Calise for the ine showing throughout the season. T H E CA Ijii C Ig U si .-1 X-4 I-5 CQ L 1 45 L, KA r-1 VJ Q5 il THE CADUCEUS 43 Basketball At the inauguration of the 1929 Basketball Season. Coach Eddie Enright was faced with the problem of building a team with but two available veterans, Dromgoole and Picerne, However, he proved his fitness for handling the situations by developing Bekel, Di lorio and Kelly. This quintet formed the Hrst team. with Samdperil, Sackin and Roberts ably relieving them when necessary. Throughout the season the work of Capt. Franny Dromgoole was the outstanding fea- ture in every contest. At the close of the season he was rewarded for his Work by be- ing chosen for the pivot position on the All- Star, All-Interscholastic Team. Louie Bekel proved to be a clever forward, and during the closing weeks was one of the best in the league. Here Picerne, running guard, Jack Kelly, clever back-court performer, and Tony Di lorio. diminutive forward, all played a steady game with a flash here and there. As for winning games the team did not attain any unusual success, but it did succeed in making itself one of the most feared com- binations in the league. The boys made an especially fine showing against East Provi- dence, 1929 pennant winners, playing them to a 10-10 deadlock for the Hrst half, but the closing whistle found our boys behind by a small margin. Capt. Dromgoole, Picerne, Bekel and Di lorio have played their last game for Classical, but with Kelly, Samdperil, Sackin, Roberts and several other promising youngsters, Coach Enright will have a fair foundation upon which to build. Fencing Activities The popularity of fencing has increased meteorically in the past year. A squad of twenty reported to Dr. Eric Stone, coach of fencing, for the initial instruction. All twenty were retained throughout the season. The team enjoyed a very successful season under Capt. Katz Winning three matches and losing but two. Carlson, Nelson, Bojar, and Limmer placed in the finals of the individual championships, and Carlson became State Champion by defeating Capt. White of Tech- nical. Next season's outlook is promising with Carlson as captain and several recruits, namely, Brown, Piccolo, and S. Bojar. Scores: Classical 6-Commercial 3 Classical 4-Technical 5 Classical 5-243rd Artillery 4 Classical 9-Hope 0 Classical 4-Providence Y 5 Baseball Eddie Enright, coach of basketball, was selected to make a ball team for Classical this year, and he has put together a good machine composed largely of veterans. In left field is the brilliant All-State outfielder, Jim Mc- Caffrey. 'Nuf sed. In centre is Joe Roberts, a little left-handed newcomer. DiI3usco, a fair hitter and fielder, patrols the right fielder's position. At third base is Eddie Grossman. a deliberate, but accurate fielder and a good hitter. In the short-field is Capt. Bekel, a very fast and accurate shortstop,and a potent stick- wielder. Jack Kelly, a dependable second- sacker, guards the keystone position. On first is Chug Motta. Last year he was a somewhat crude and sloppy fielder, but he has now acquired considerable first-base technique. Chug's hitting has improved, too. Behind the bat is Joe Cusick, a natural, if there ever was one. He has not yet 'iarrived but is a comer. Dromgoole, a converted out-fielder, is the first string pitcher. He shows promise, which, with experience, should develop rap- idly. Sullivan, Sackin, and Di lorio are re- serve pitchers. The team as a whole, with a good out- field, fine infield, good catching and pitching. and a smart coach seems destined for a first division berth. IFJ? lid CEILHML fs F1 11 id 63 +9 D KA id an 623 Q THE CADUCEUS 45 Tiraelk - XVe all know that Classical has not the reputation of turning out championship track teams. Track is distinct from other athletic activities in that the team is made up of a number of individual men who specialize in one or two events. If one man is absent at a meet, his position cannot be filled by a sub- stitute who. in another sport, would serve to fill in the hole. Every man is obliged to run his own race: there is no team-work. He wins or loses his event according to the practice he has given to it. The eligibility list, therefore, is a hard customer with which to deal. Classical, however is always well repre- sented at the meets and, though not always taking Hrst place, is capable of giving her competitors a run for their money. At this writing, the team has dual meets pend- ing with Pawtucket and Cranston, besides being entered in the Brown lnterscholastics. Last year Classical whipped Cranston to the tune of 50-49, and is favored to repeat again this year, we hope by a greater margin. Among the boys who have won points for the Purple and White under Coach Thompson and Captain Don Turner are: Murray Hines, dash and broad-jump: i'Red Davis, veteran dash man and high-jumper: King, pole-vault: Don Midwood, hurdles: Motta, O'C1rady and LaChance, distance men: and Austin, Lazarus and Ciebelin in the weight events. Ciebelin knows the knack of slinging the 12 pound hammer 122 feet, and would have been a sure first place winner at Kingston. had he been able to make the trip. Turner and Davis saved the team from a shut-out by scoring in the high-jump. With a goodly number of promising men who are expected to return next year, we are sure that Classical will be capable of holding her own, that is, if that eligibility list will cnly give the fellows a break! Tennis The Classical High School Tennis Team conclu.ded their 1928 season with but fair success. Encountering teams representing the Durfee, Rogers, and East Providence High Schools, the Purple and White won only one match. ln the fall of the '28 season the Classicalites playing Hope in the first round of the Tilden Cup matches were overwhelmed by the score of 9-10. In the City Champion- ship Classical was represented in the finals by Capt. Lazarus, who was defeated for the title by Capt. Chace of Hope. For the 1929 season, Classical has sched- uled matches with the Technical, Hope, and Commercial schools. As only ex-captain Johnson and Schneider have the team, pros- pects for a successful conquest in the Tilden Cup matches are very good, Those who return next September are Capt. Lazarus, Eddy, Cole, Shulman, Scribner, and Ciold- man. Perhaps we shall reach our goal. An Appreciation We think it eminently fitting that a few words be said in appreciation of Mr. A. Forest Ranger. For some years now he has been handling school moneys. The various committees and boards have always relied upon him to hoard their treasures and dis- pense them judiciously. Mr. Ranger's ac- curacy makes him particularly well-adapted for his important but arduous position. Fur- thermore, when a collector makes a mistake in his returns. Mr. Ranger can always be de- pended upon to straighten out the matter quickly and thoroughly. The thanks of the whole school are due him in no small meas- ure: and we are sure that his work is justly appreciated. THE CADUCEUS ih.....f THE CADUCEUS 47 Soccer This year Classical has made a better show- ing in soccer than ever since it was made a high school sport. Our team defeated Com- mercial in a league game by a score of l-O, and won four other games outside the league schedule. tripping Cranston twice by the scores l-0, 2-l. Next year the team will be composed of almost all veterans, since it is losing only Di lorio by graduation and Captain Almonte, who has transferred. In the latter aicapable leader and athlete will be lost. The soccer team needs more support. If this is given, Classical should be leading the pack in 1930. Hoclkcy, 1929 For the second time in as many years the Classical High School Hockey Team finished the regular league schedule in a tie for the top, and for the second time was defeated in the play-off. The 1929 edition of pucksters suffered only one defeat, that occurring in the second game with Cranston, the last on the schedule. The team, coached by Archie Wilcox of the Reds, won six games and was tied three times. Classical and East Providence battled into the last day with one point separating them. A victory over Cranston meant a pennant, but the Purple and White was defeated l-0, after displaying some of the best hockey seen at the league games. East Providence, going into the last game, needed only to win to secure the pennant, but the Commercial 'lmidgetsf' displaying unbelievable strength, succeeded in holding them to a scoreless tie. On March l8th the play-off was held, East Providence winning by the score of 3-O. The game was disappointing in that both previous encounters had resulted in ties. Throughout the entire season the whole team played fine hockey. Much credit is due to Coffey, playing in the nets his first season. Captain Casey and Bill Hindle performed well on the defense, while on the forward line Hal Johnson, Jim McCaffrey, and Chug Motta were always peppering the opposing goalies. Al Hayes, Hlling in at both forward and defense positions, gave the fans many a thrill with his stellar work. The team was composed largely of Seniors, but we all hope that Classical will finish on top alone next year. Giirllsg Aitlhlllctiics The girls' sports world for the 1928-1929 season is indeed worthy of mention. Much enthusiasm has been shown in all its branches. The thanks of the school are certainly due many girls for the fine spirit they have dis- played on the various teams. Eleanor Ode again defended our tennis title, and was champion of the school for the fall season. She was victorious against Ger- trude Mclver, who is a promising Helen Wills of the class of '31, but was finally de- feated in a fast game against a Tech player. We expect great things from Eleanor during the spring season. Field hockey brought out several veterans as well as many new aspirants. Captain Myra, a strong forward liner, did some Hne work. as right-inside. Dorothy Hamblett, an all 'round athlete of the Sophomore class, let no grass grow under the feet of the half-back line. The tremendous force with which she handled both stick and ball was enough to make any opponent shudder. Doris McDer- mott, our centre-forward, was an outstand- ing player as always. Her blue jacket, going down the field like a streak of lightening, will always be remembered by Held hockey fans. 48 THE CADUCEUS If it could possibly be said that any one player tried harder than the rest to gain a little glory for Classical hockeyists, that per- son would certainly be Doris. She was firmly supported by the rest of the team, and the defense did its best to keep the opposing line- up from sending the ball under the bars. The teams will no doubt suffer from the graduation of several players, but, as several under-classmen have been found to possess no mean athletic ability, we have good sea- son to hope for some fine work on the hockey field next year. With the beginning of the winter season, volley-ball and basket-ball were again in the limelight. Volley-ball has been much more popular this year than formerly, being en- thusiastically supported. No class was found unrepresented at the Friday afternoon prac- tises. Indeed, so many girls turned out that it was a difficult task for captain Evange- line Francis to give everyone a chance to play and win her letter. A complete victory was scored over Hope in the first match, although success was not so forthcoming in the games with Tech and Commercial. Dorothy Ham- blett showed her skill in the net game to be fully as good as on the hockey field. Ardell Wheat was another valuable player. The Sophomores, under the captaincy of Mary Beane, had the most successful basket- ball team, winning in titles against Tech and Hope. The Freshmen came out 30 strong at the beginning of the season, showing fine prospects for a team. With Marion Rich- ardson for their captain, they scored a victory over Hope but lost the other two games. The Juniors suffered from the loss of several good players who helped greatly in making their team a success last year, but made a fine show- ing this year nevertheless. Helen Howard as captain led them on to victory in the game with Tech. Lucienne Lavallfe their high- stepping centre, with her cool but accurate shots was a credit to her fellow hoopsters. Ardell Wheat and Margaret Carty, forwards. displayed some skillful team work. The Seniors, with Margaret Swenson as captain, fought hard, although fate seemed to be against them. Doris McDermott's guarding would be hard to beat anywhere. Florence Kwasha, in spite of her slightness of stature. was one fast and valuable little side-centre. She and Dorothy Lovett won many an hon- orable scar of heroism, and were fine examples of the ever-present good-sportsmanship of the team. The announcement of swimming again brought Classical mermaids to Braman Pool. The girls found much enjoyment practising new dives, strokes, and stunts of all kinds. fitting themselves to carry off honors at camp or resort during the coming summer. In April Dorothy Greene and Catherine Freel were successful in passing the Senior Life- Saving tests. Junior Life-Savers were: Ruth Berry, Sally Dale, Dorothy Fisher, Harriet Legg, Althea Glines, and Doris Aust. Classi- cal came in second in the inter-scholastic meet in May, capturing two first places and sec- ond laurels in the relay. First places were: Captain Martha Hewitzson for 20 yard free style, and Grace Altona. 40 yard breast- stroke. Captain Hewitzson also won third place in the diving event. Ruth Whittaker and Gertrude Mclver helped gain several more points for Classical. Lack of time prevented the baseball tour- nament from being played out last spring. We hope it will prove as popular during the '29 season as in previous years.

So This ls London, by Arthur Goodrich and George M. Cohan. The selection of this play was most felici- tous. as the development of its intricate plot was fascinating, from the rising of the curtain to its final descent. It abounded in clever lines and laughable cast is as follows: Hiram Draper, Jr. Elinor Beauchamp Lady Amy Duckworth Hiram Draper.

Devenish Clarence S. Schneider Marion L. Hathaway Joseph A. Landry Richard A. Batchelder Maurice S. Austin Mildred L. Campbell Barbara C. Bromley Charles D. Miller The plot deals with the deep-dyed predu- jices of an American family. Each thought the other's country was about the worst place on earth. To help matters along, the daugh- ter and son of the respective families succumb to the wiles of Cupid. Each set of parents is regaled with the glowing description of the most superb being alive. Following this startling revelation come two flash scenes, which portray the American parents' concep- tion of the meeting with their son's English lady-love and her family, and the English parents' conception of the meeting with their daughter's American lover. The former was an hilarious scene, with Milly Campbell as the dignified mater, Dick Batchelder the exalted old Sir Percy, and Freddie Kiess por- traying the sophisticated English daughter: but Rosy Schneider uncorked the hit of the evening in the American scene when he en- tered Sir Percy's sedate mansion with, Hum- m, nice tent ya got here. We learned from Mr. Hiram Draper and his family that gum- chewing is distinctly an American hobby. which is not appreciated in English homes. Doris Devenish as Lady Duckworth, first class matchmaker, deserves much credit for her admirably, natural portrayal of that dif- ficult part. lt was solely through her un- tiring efforts that a union of the two fam- ilies was brought about, an event which cli- maxed the play. Individual triumphs were scored by every member of the cast. Joseph Landry played his dignified servants' role with such pro- ficiency that at times it seemed as if he were carved in stone and run by a motor. The Senior' Social On the l4th day of December the grave and solemn Seniors gathered for their Social. The faculty, many of whom honored us with their attendance, presented a dignified front, enthroned for the evening, Incidentally they came through it like Trojans. A play, Jazz and Minuetf' was ably presented by a selected few of the Senior class under the direction of Mrs. Linda Brown. Edna Grace as leading lady, was the charming brunette. and patrician-looking Dick Batchelder took the part of the hero. Howard Pike was the villainous blond, and with Marion Hatha- way as the beautiful mother and Lillian Kel- man in the part of a pert little maid. the cast was most complete. We were favored throughout the entire play with musical selections from the Eight Spasms by Casey. Motta and Co. Following the play dancing was enjoyed and, although at times one might wonder whether or not a solo exhibition was in progress, yet sometimes a large number bravely attempted to show their skill. Re- freshments in the way of ice cream and des petits gareaux were seved. At ll:l5 the lights blinked and threatened to leave us in total darkness-being Classical's unique way of saying it's time to leave. 52 THE CADUCEUS Anthony Medal Contestants and Essays A GARDEN IS A LOVESOME SPOT i'There is a little garden A-resting by the sea. That pretty, little garden Is a haven made for me. Paul Nicholby thought of these words, as, returning from the day's weary tasks to his lodginghouse in O-, California,-- he passed an unusually fragrant garden. Fiercely, he ground his teeth together. What spot on earth was his haven? Who cared for him? War, laughing at his pain and grief, had stolen his left arm. Death had taken his mother and dad. Life had given him nothing: had deprived him of all! Poetry! Gardens! How he hated them all! Gazing at the beauti- ful green hedge before him, he was seized with a sudden desire to see beyond that bar- rier. There were roses, forget-me-nots, pur- ple, green, gold, brown and even orange flowers. Probably it was cool in there! Paul realized he had given into, what he consid- ered, weak sentimentalism. Cursing inwardly, he went on: head down: fists clinched. Day after day the young man was tempted to revisit that garden. He would sit unnoticed, on the opposite side of the road, gazing at the hedge, catching sight, now and then, of some bit of color. Who could live in that house? Perhaps it was some one's mother, who cared for the garden! Then, as darkness came, he would arise, vowing never to return, for do- ing so only made the next day, with all its heartaches, harder to bear. However, his vows were of no avail, since in this quiet spot he seemed to find a solace, a salve for his wounded heart. Once, as he sat there, a sud- den light stole into his eyes. Hunting through his pockets, Paul found a stubby old pencil and a scrap of paper. That evening, the boy remained at his resting-place until the light faded from the sky and he could see no longer. In the following weeks he worked diligently. almost happily. Perchance life had not taken all: it might have given him one dear posses- sion! The lines in his face seemed to fade: his step was always firm: occasionally he even whistled. At last, on the day before Christ- mas, his first great work of art, a colorful, delicate masterpiece, was proclaimed a success. That evening, plodding slowly along the same road he had crossed some months before, Paul longed to stop at his garden: to see and be within. Perhaps-Ah! Yes! At the open gate stood a little, old, white-haired lady. He heard her say, UI have watched you many evenings and longed to make you hap- py: to invite you into my garden, where we might sit, talking together. Have you time, son, to spend with a lonesome old woman? Without hesitating, Paul entered through the wide-flung gate into the land of his heart's desire. It might have been there the wicked cupid pierced handsome Apol1o's heart: there the latter vainly chased beloved Daphne: there the little god of love led his Psyche. At least, there were rest and peace and compan- ionship. The young man knew they should always be friends, dear friends. Placing his arm gently around the little woman's shoul- ders he said, Yes, little mother, I have time to spend with you, tell me, though, do you not thing a garden is a 'lovesome spot' Y I ' THE CADUCEUSE '53 AIRWAYS OF THE FUTURE We were on our way to the airport, hav- ing purchased our tickets at the city-office of the airline. It was a very dark night, but as we neared the immense airdrome, the flood- lights and beacons made it seem like day. The steady hum of the motors was rather pleasing to the ear. Quite a difference from the roar- ing of airplane engines way back in 1929! There was a large crowd in the lobby of the air-hotel, even though it was three o'clock in the morning. In fifteen minutes three great airliners would be on their way to New York. Out on the landing-field we could see planes of all sizes and shapes come gliding in out of the night, dripping with the early morn- ing dew, while their propellers flashed in the glare of light. A man in uniform announced the arrival, from Boston, of the New York- bound planes. We pushed our way through the turnstiles, out onto the field and into ship No. 531. As the door-man showed us to our seats, we glanced about this great creation of man. Through a glass partition in the nose of the plane, we could see the pilot and radio-operator, who looked like men from another world, in their flying togs. The ship is equipped with automatic fire-sprinklers and every conceivable safety device. In a rack be- side our large, deeply cushioned chairs, were all the latest magazines. Although flying is an every-day affair, I could never understand why a person should read, when so many in- teresting things are to be seen from the air. Suddenly a whistle blew, the cabin door was locked from the outside and at a wave of the pilot's hand, we slowly moved for- ward. After a short run, the jar of the wheels on the ground disappeared, announc- ing that we were in the air. We gained nec- essary altitude in a large circle, and then straightened out for the half-hour run to New York. The spectacle of the rising dawn in the air. is a marvelous sight. As the sun rises over the horizon, things take shape on the ground beneath. Many little black dots appear, which show that we are not the only ones in the air. A shrieking siren breaks the still- ness. Our pilot holds a straight course, while a shining silver mail-plane skims by us at 300 miles per hour. Looking up above our level we see airplanes, larger even, than ours, which are arriving from across the continent. At a tremendous height, an amphibian is visible, bringing passengers from Europe and Eng- land, after a twelve-hour journey over the Atlantic. As I gaze out of the window, one of the propellers becomes visible, because it has ceased to move. An inexperienced person might expect a forced landing, but the other four engines can easily keep the ship in flight, although at a slightly reduced speed. A me- chanic discovers that a vital part of the en- gine has broken. In five minutes the radio- man has a repair ship hovering above us. The necessary part is lowered to us, and shortly the faulty engine has been repaired. Aroused by the gesticulations of the pilot, I see, off to the left, the smoke of a roaring forest-Ere. In answer to an emergency call, five great fire- fighting planes hurry to the scene. The blaze is soon drowned out by the rail of chemicals. By this time, the increasing number of planes in the air informs us that we are nearing our destination. At a signal from the flagship of our fleet, the air above the New York landing-Held is cleared. We glide down to a landing at the largest, best equipped airport of the world. All is hurry and bustle here. Soon we have embarked in a much smaller rider-of-the-skies to be whisked to a friend's home in northern New York State. Dozing in my chair that evening I mar- veled at the efficiency of modern airplanes. Ten years ago, this great advancement would have seemed impossible: ten years hence, the advancement will be just as great.

Chark, Armitage, Haslehurst, and Capucilli augmented the sophomore basketball team, while Lazarus, Goldman, moreover, tried their hands at fanc- ous for varsity tennis. Many others were noted for their prowess in indoor and out- door track, including McKenna, Shulman, Lazarus, Hines, and Montecalvo. Brown and Goldman, moreover, tried their hands at fanc- ing.

' POEM Our sophomore year seemed short And pretty snappy, too. A great deal we were taught We learned a little, too. Although a little hard at first. It wasn't dull at all, And if the soph year is the worst, We're in for fun next fall. The Freshmen When a frosh comes to Classical High, We all tell him it's easy as pie : So he thinks it's a snap, And gives not a rap, But soon goes to Technical High. Classical is well supported by the Freshman Class. In freshman sports both the lA and IAA grades are well represented. Ettlinger, of Room 7, won the city freshman tennis championship last season: Sullivan is inter- ested both in track and in baseball: Hayes, of Room 10, was a snappy and versatile util- ity man on our hockey team this season: Miss Hobin and Miss Patterson are both basketball players: the last-named with Miss Dale and Miss Battey are members of the Junior Life- Saving Corps. 58 THE CADUCEUS In scholarship the class rates high, Many of the Juniors and Seniors might envy the straight A records of some of the class of '32. If you see a small boy wearing long trous- ers and carrying a bag filled with books, he is Harry Moses, the historian, debater, and talker of the class. C1ulliver, of Room 7, amuses the class by his monkey-shines. In future years Providence will be proud of its business men, Cobb, Just and Moss. Miss Wrubleski may have an M. D. after her name, if she continues her good work through college. We sincerely hope that the Freshmen who are reading this article in the Caduceus will continue to support Classical for the next three years. They may even aspire to having their pictures in the year-book if, in the THE JUNIOR CLASS Three years ago, in September, an extra- ordinarily unruly mob of Freshmen came to Classical, and although somewhat awed by the new atmosphere, immediately commenced to inform Mr. 'Peck and his faculty that a new era had begun. Nevertheless, nobody seemed to pay much attention to us: consequently we began to act instead of talk. In our--Sophomore year we settled down and rapidly imbibed the required knowledge of Caesar, algebra, and other such trifles. Now, in our Junior year, we are coming into our own: even Mr. Peck and Miss Greg- ory are beginning to pay some attention to us. In the Fall we held our elections for class officers, with Pianka, Miss Sutton, Miss Ahearn and Rice as the ultimate winners. How can our class fail to be a success with leaders like these? As for the athletic ability of the class, one cannot help noticing the number of letter- men sporting on' their sweaters the insignia of their achievement. First and foremost on the gridiron is captain-elect Pianka, whose hard, steady playing gained for him great praise and the honor of leading the l929 team. Kanelos, the lighting guard whose bruising tactics were the cause of much dis- comfort to his opponents all the season, also made a name for himself by his line work. McKiernan scored good football at end. Playing snappy baseball, Eddie Grossman held down the hot corner in great style, and his timely hitting helped to drive in a number of valuable tallies. As we realized that the growing interest in tennis made it necessary for us to further enhance our athletic prestige by placing men on the team, our representatives turned out and procurred two positions for us: one reg- ular and a first substitute, namely Cole and Scribner. Red Davis, the elongated high-jumper and dash man, was one of the mainstays of the track team during the winter season, and no doubt will carry on this spring. As O'C1rady has all the earmarks of a sweet middle-distance man, much is expected from him. Art Carlson, captain-elect of fencing for next year, brought prominence to Classical by winning the Rhode Island Interscholastic Fencing Championship. Piccolo also did his share towards making the team a success. lt would take too much space to mention all the fellows who did their bit for the school. But suflice it to say that to them the Junior class and the whole school owe a vote of thanks. Very soon the class of 1930 will be spoken of as the senior class. Then we're sure that every one of us will wish to carry on, and, if possible better the fine standard set for us by our remarkable predecessors, the class of 1929. Now let us close this brief biography of the great Junior class with some things we've noticed: l. How a certain person went to the Follies and ended in a Freshman room. 2. Maitre d'arms Paragamian, and his eccentricities. 3. The good school spirit of the whole class in attending the athletic events. 59 TI-IE CADUCEUS E I WORDS B7' TALK FREN: S MUSIC COMPILED B717 T ER -ffl T Q fv n -' Lg Lune.

Those who took part were: Mar- garet Swenson, Walter Nelson, Maurice Aus- tin, Jacob Katz, William Bojar, Hazel Cor- nell, Abraham Strauss, Gertrude Sheridan, and Florence Kwasha. Margaret Swenson as Klarchen was exceedingly charming, and Walter Nelson, playing opposite her, also gave a fine representation of Herr Alexander. Most credit is due, however, to Miss Sheppard who, as coach, showed great ability in direct- ing and in adding those realistic touches that so greatly increased the appeal of the play. Music was furnished by Dorothy Hanson, who rendered several gay little German airs with a lightness and gracefulness that did entire justice to the songs. Henry Anderson and Harold Johnson were very capable prop- erty men. Donald Turner, the scenic artist. portrayed on the blackboard, a typical Ger- man street with all its store windows and Christmas decorations. Directly preceding the play, Anna Kopit, Dorothy Gray and Marion Hathaway each recited one verse of O Tannenbaumf' If we may judge by the comments of the audience, the efforts of the personnel and management of the play were certainly not in vain. French Club The Senior French Club of Classical High had another successful year under the guid- ance of our French instructor, Mr. Frederick E. Hawkins. The Club, which has had very good membership throughout the whole season, was voted a success by all members. The officers were: J. Murray Hines, Secre- tary, Frederika L. Kiess, Chairman, and Rowland A. Crowell and Thomas H. Mc- Govern, members of the Entertainment Com- mittee. This Committee, who worked hard for every meeting never failed to have some- thing of interest for the Club. Among their varied programs were a mock au.ction, a musicale Cgiven by membersj, and many interesting French games. Mr. Haw- kins, the Club director, delivered an illus- trated lecture on a tour of France. A former Classical student, Philip Brownell, gave a reading in French at another meeting. Miss Bogman of Commercial and Professor Landre of Brown University, favorites with French Clubs of other years, have also entertained this year's Club with illustrated lectures on France and Brittany. From the first, the aim of the Club has been to develop interest in the study and familiar use of the French language. With that end in view Mr. Hawkins and an enterprising Com- mittee have realized a very successful year.

The school itself contains twenty-one class rooms with desks and chairs all appropriately decorated with suitable design by the pupils themselves. Handsome pictures adorn the walls, locker- room doors, and even the book-covers. Beau- tiful chamois draperies bordered with flow- ered cheese cloth drape the windows. Excellent dance music is furnished by the steam pipes, desk-covers, and squeaky chairs. Some of the class rooms are hot: others are frigid to suit all tastes. In the cellar are two immense dining-halls. one for the boys, the other for the others. Each table has its all-wool table- cloth and napkin. Meals are of the best. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays luscious beef-loaf is served: every Friday a clam is bought who is duly made into the weekly chowder. Every Wednesday morning talkies are presented in the auditorium on the first floor. There is also a spacious assembly hall on the seventh floor, where, every Monday morning, the boys and girls assemble and sing melodies. The faculty of Clawsical Prep is one of the best on Pond St. and has been carefully trained by correspondence courses to give complete satisfaction or your money refund- ed. Should any child have any cause for complaint, he is privileged to ring the bell outside the reading-room on the Hrst floor. By so doing, he will automatically call forth Dr. Peck's private secretary, who will register the complaint. The various courses offered are-but why worry about such trivial scruples as the studies? The main point is that Classical Prep is the school you should attend: so. boys and girls, if you wish to wear the purple and white for the next six years, have your mother sign the coupon below and send in your application today.

Tuck came charging out of the sea, mounted on six trusty elephants, and rushed the line for a forty yard gain. Then the Crimson line stiffened. Macduff, who had just completed a non-stop flight from Mac- beth to Malcolm, stood at the helm of the good ship A'Argo, on the quest of the Golden Fleece. That's straight goods! Though repelled by this sudden attack, the Minute Men held a reunion at Chicago, and heard the shot fired 'round the world. They killed off half the rum-runners' chess team in a hot battle with the quoits. The referee called time, as Julius Caesar had a 211 History Exam bloody nose. Brutus had muffed the signals for a play to cut the line with a perpendicular bisector fet, two, brute, hey.J, and had kicked the Democratic Mule for a throw-back to his primeval ancestors. The party was called off in the tenth inning when Mount Fujiyama erupted showers of ticker-tape and telephone books. As far as the price of apples at one dollar a gallon goes in Pawtucket, the Achaeans should have won. However. they put a crip- pled team into the field, because four out of live had pyorrhea and B. O. claimed the other ten. Pall and Doheny christened the tank with bottles of preferred stock banana oil, as it ran up the ways into the ice. President Coolidge threw the last ball, a left hook to the jaw. and Dempsey lost out on a long. long count. 62 THE CADUCEUS The Quest of the Golden Plleeee A capital ship for an ocean trip Is the good craft Classical. No wind that blows dismays her crew Nor injures the vessel's hull: The gobs are taught to have fear of nought, Not even the fiercest gale: And they drive the ship with nary a slip, While the wind roars past the sail. A rollicking band on a trip well-planned Set sail on the sea of knowledge. 'Twas a right merry jaunt, tho the waves did taunt, And often placed many on edge. The helmsman, Work, full many did irk. Who fled from the ship in despair. Yet others were troubled, and heedlessly stumbled Against cruel Study's snare. 1 In this, their last year, the goal draws near, The first lap is almost past. The voyagers crowd with clamor loud, While the anchor now is cast. There are some who are sad, but most are glad: They sing at a raucous pitch, And those who were wrecks now dance o'er the decks, And their gear in the sea they pitch, And now they disbark, having reached their mark. A crowd in disordered array: A few are tattered and cruelly battered, But still most happily gay: Yet despite the wear and wearisome care, All around they rush pell-mell: See how they exult and books catapult To the ship in fond farewell. They're faring forth for a bigger fray, And hope to win on that Held. The gods they invoke, it is no joke: They hope they never will yield. May the weather be fair for all who dare To uphold their colors true! And to those brave enough to light without bluff Life's highest honors are due. THE CADUCEUS 63 llnoulbus To-morrow was to be our last day of school. I had been working like mad all day, sweeping up the floor, putting the books on the ice, and nailing up the windows, etc., prior to the summer vacation. To-morrow we would receive our coon-skins. Ah, that day of days Cfour years, to be specificj. With the vision of laying hold o' that precious coon-skin on the morrow, I drifted away, farther-farther-farther-. It was Judgment Day. Old Gabriel had been blowing his French horn 'till he uas purple about the gills. Trial was being held in our renowned lecture-room, where, one by two the poor inmates of the class of '29 were being sentenced for their sundry high crimes and misdemeanors. Hist! What was that clerk saying? Ah yes. Messrs. Sydney and Goldman! bellowed the clerk, as the aforenamed victims tripped the heavy fantastic to the front of the room. There was deadly silence: in fact, silence reigned Cbut no one got wet.j Of what are these accused? purred the Judge. The clerk rose as one Cbeing the only per- son who stood upj and read: 'AFor the last four years it has been dis- covered that the seat in the office has been slowly wearing away. Witnesses can prove that these two are the causes. 'ACan ye produce the missing portion of the bench, ye cream-faced looms? No, your Honor, replied the unfor- tunates. Ten years opening peanuts at Sing Sing! Next! Mr. Schneider, the clerk read. Amid a bedlam of cheers and hisses, Clar- ence stepped to the fore. Several times of late, Classical High School has been threatened with fire-not that we care any fCheers from the galleryj. The police were baffled, until one day Mr. Schneider was discovered blushing to within an inch of his life near a pile of rubbish in the basement. He was immediately seized as a dangerous manf' Schneider, have you a remedy for this failing? asked the Judge. No, your Honor, but I assure you that I always carry a fire-extinguisher in case of emergency. Words, mere words, lisped the Judge. Two years-and be sure there's nothing inflammable in his-cell! Next came Mr. McCabe, amid the clank of chains. Dear me, how laboriously he hobbled forward, dragging ball and chain. He was the picture of desperation, his eyes were glazed, and he had a year's growth of beard. Two weeks ago, your Honor, McCabe was discovered alone in ZR, gorging on Miss Day's imported Russian gold-Hsh food. Eee- magine! What have you to say for yourself, you.ng man? thundered the enraged Judge. Silence! 'AWhat have you to say for yourself? roared the Judge a second time. Silence still reigned! Bashfully Milly Campbell rose from the congregation and addressed the chair. thus: Your Honor, the wretch has not laryngi- tis: he has lost his voice by constant yelling at the 'Caduceus' Board. Ah, thank you, dear soul. The Judge rubbed his adamsapple and roared, Let him hang by the back of the neck until he be dead, after which he shall serve life-imprisonment on Starve-Goat Island, eating nihil but imported Russian gold-fish food, saturated in kerosene, three times a day. A great hush had descended over the whole assembly. Crash! The Parthenon on the Acropolis in the corner had blown sky-high. Calm yourself, dear reader, it was only an- other batch of Pericles' synthetic gin offered to the Gods. He would be playful. As order was once more restored we heard: Turner, Ah yes, you are a well-known criminal, I believe. Of what is he accused this time? 64 THE CADUCEUS Your Honor, of disfiguring our stately bulletin boards with contemptible posters: of marring the blackboards of this dignified lecture-room with pictures of bologna, sau- sages, and hot-cross buns: and for otherwise wilfully defacing this noble edifice. Here pandemonium let loose and when the rebels were finally dispersed, the clerk was borne out on a stretcher. Bad business, bellowed the Judge. Sentenced to thirty years picking tomatoes in Siberia. Next! A new substitute for the deceased clerk made his debut. Clerk Number 2 read. Miss Dorothy X. Hanson. The said Hanson was called forth, but owing to a poor start and extreme nervous- ness she slipped and came in fifth. This, your Honor, is the explanation of the continual commotion in the back Room 5, near the windows. Your Honor she- Enough! snapped Hizzonor. Young lady, I'm in a bad mood. You are hereby sentenced to cut that hair before receiving your coon-skin to-morrow! Enough was too much, and the unfor- tunate one swooned. McGovern, come to the front, called the clerk. Red, bowed and broken-hearted, limped up. CWhat is the cause of that limp?j What charges are preferred? demanded Hizzonor. The prisoner is accused of forgetting notes and excuses and putting them off to the last minute. 'iHave you any excuse to offer? asked the Judge. No sir. I forgot it, but I'l1 bring it to- morrow. . Forty days in solitary confinement, yelped the Judge. Next case! Miss Evangeline Francis! Accusations? cooed Hizzonor. Miss Francis is accused of thinking for herself! Hizzonor pretty nearly expired: however, after having been administered pre-war stim- ulants. he did pass out. Hence, according to Parliamentary Law, his corpse was gently carried out and piled neatly upon that of the defunct clerk, and his place was taken by an elderly gentleman who happened by at that moment. After hearing the case, he wailed, 'ADrefful bad. Thinks for herself? Worse than murder! I would suggest that the impious one be sen- tenced to life-long exile, reading poetry to the father-less orphans of Pawtucket. What else have you got? Tom Casey, alias the Singing Bad Man! Tom skated up the aisle in a swimming suit. Casey, you are charged with throwing paper-balls at the wastebasket in Room 4. Have you anything to say before I pronounce sentence? You bet. From now on I'1l make every shot tell. Every one shall go in to score two more points for dear old Classical. And mighty Casey wept as he thought of the school that he loved so dearly CU. The Judge was visibly moved and he stammered, Case dismissed. Miss Campbell, did you bring any re- freshments? Miss Day said I shouldnt fGroans from the Caduceus Boardj. Judge Number 2 shot a hasty glance at the clock. It was ten minutes of twelve. I move, he said, that we stand and sing the first and thirteenth verses of Poo-bah, after which we shall march single Hle downstairs for our beef-loaf and carrots. Norm Watson rose and seconded the motion. The bell rang. Whir-r-r-r-r-Bang! The room was empty!! When I awoke the sun was shining in my nostrils and the savory aroma of bacon and eggs floated across my eyes. I felt none the worse from my nightmare. To-day, the day of days! We were to receive the coon-skins for which we had worked, perspired, gypped. and what not, for four years.

Dost remember the flower that sprang up where he fell, the sweet Nar- cissu.s?I Tweet-tweet, they're off-I mean the game's started! Solitto kicks off with a powerful right, and lVlcCaffery, after a long run from left field to first base, barely muffs the catch. Mighty Casey skates across the field from right wing and retrieves the egg- shell with a dextrous twitch of his stick, being immediately sent to the cooler for hav- ing soiled Kelly's new pants' in his mad rush. lnstantaneously Turner protests and, yelling at Austin to go get the shot-put, high-jumps the back stop and engages the referee in mortal combat. At a given signal Austin flips the twelve pound shot off the referee's head--and then the referee is no more! l-low unfortunate! A brand new umpire is immediately shipped out--guaran- teed to last the game out, or money refunded. The first of the second inning finds Clas- sical in the water, and rarin' to go: Coffey in goal, Herc Picerne at full back, Red Davis on his mark, Casey and Hindle grind- ing their teeth at the wing positions, and Katz and A'Art Carlson guarding all three ends with foils unsheathed. ln sooth, what a picture! Yea, at the given pistol shot- oh, by the way, we haven't mentioned our worthy opponents. How thoughtless! At bats are the representatives of the Durkee's Primary School for deaf, dumb, blind, and backward children. Draped in their green and orange panties, black and yellow polka- dotted jersies, and red garters, they too pre- sent a picture, though not as hot a one as the Classicalians, who, needless to say, are draped in the royal poiple. But we all know that uniforms and various other utensils do not make the team. Now both teams are ready-the suspense is terrific. Bang! Again they're oH! Di- Iorio hurls the egg-shell amid a deafening clamor. All the Classicalians drop their sticks, foils, and snow-shoes, and, thumping their noses at the umpire, charge forward at the unfortunate batter. The egg-shell arrives before the mob, however, and like a Trojan the batter leans on it. The gigan- tic crash, which would naturally be expected when an egg-shell and a tennis racquet meet, is suflicient to dislocate the egg-shell from the egg. YVell, to make a long story longer, the contents of the said egg soaked into the beautiful play-suits of both teams. Green faded into blue, orange into drab brown, and poiple into a hideous yellow. The modesty of the players was shattered, and here pandemonium really and truly let loose. The spectators fled for their lives, leaving the bowl a churning mass of egg-spattered green, yellow, red, poiple, and orange gladi- ators. They fought till sundown-till there was nothing left but pulp. As the last rays of the sun sank down over the railroad tracks, and as the birds and butterflies were flittering homeward, Classical's last man fell -the mighty Casey. His lingerie, in be- smeared tatters, was covered with blood and egg-nogg. his feeble hand still grasped his puck-a hero to the last! That night it rained-a gentle, pattering rain that soaked u.p, or rather down, the grim debris of the battle. Came the dawn, and behold! The gridiron was a field of waving for-get-me-nots, some red, some green, some yellow, but most of them poi- ple, with one tall, handsome sun-flower in their midst. The mighty Casey and his confederates turned into loving little flowers -all for the sake of dear old Classical! THE CADUCEUS 67 A Whitten Plan For Classical Word has come from headquarters that the traffic system in Classical corridors isn't just what it's cracked up to be-in fact, it just aint.. More fenders have been given perma- nent waves the past year than ever before. Rules and regulations as regards keeping to the right, cutting corners at left turns, passing on hills, etc. seem to be minus kwontities. Why children will insist on sounding their signalling devices from one end of the Avenue to the other instead of just at intersections and in front of the girls' locker room is be- yond our quota of intelligence and imagina- tion. After much investigation and research our only explanation is: too much back seat driving! What can one expect from- Shrell, man, what's the math assignment?-- Step on it, give us the goods or I'll-Yeh, book four!-No-Aw, that's a lota hooey- Whatdayamean nogood? It's the berries, I'm tellin ya-An then, I says, Comm on kid, buck up, you can't go home like this, drink this black coffee-Screlly, there's the bell! Come on, Willya, it's three o'clock in the morning-What! Aw, I'se regusted' ...,, . No wonder there's so many collisions and broken bones! Then too, stalled engines have been discovered to be at the root of much congestion. Again we ask, why will children insist on making their dates in the middle of Peck Avenue at the height of traflic? Now gentlemen and girls of the jury, something must be done! In the interest of humanity and for the safety of our children's lives and limbs, we have collaborated on the following precepts: l.J Keep to right always, except when you go left Cconsult Miss Hathaway as to which is your right footj. 2.3 Stop, look, and listen at every inter- section fParticularly at Mr. Peck's anteroomj fa.j First place heap of books on any conven- ient statue, advance cautiously to middle of intersection, look and listen, when sure you are alone, return, pick up books and proceed. fThese precautions may delay children, thus making them late for class, but even so-your teacher will not mind. In fact, little ones, your teacher will enjoy a break in the monot- ony of Johnson's asthmatic gaspings or maybe Aenea's episodes with Dido, by your entrance into the class ten minutes latej. 3.5 Before passing a fellow-motorist, proceed to toot horn, drop a book, blow your nose, ring the Liberty bell outside the oflice, or something to notify him of your inten- tions, When recognized, politely ask said motorist if he minds your passing him. Ca.D If he says O K, cautiously pass by him Cnot over himj Cb.j If he says Nix brother, about face, go up-stairs and down the other way. 4.5 Do not speed funless going to lunch, in which case-the faster, the betterj. 5.7 Refrain from playing tag on the Avenue, as this practice disturbs Mr. Hines in the cellar. If these aforsaid suggestive suggestions are followed, we guarantee fewer bent fenders, broken tail-lights and windshields for the year 1930. Far worse than the traffic congestion is the parking problem. Something must be done, especially in Nichols Alley and Shep-Gregory Parkway. Now the question is: How and why do so many males infest these said Al- leys between 2 130 and 2 :45-and do nothing but park? Why do they stand up when they are privileged to ,sit down in the sundry lounging-rooms and amuse themselves with geometry originals, chemistry problems, or something equally restful? For the solution of this second grave prob- lem we suggest all throughfares be marked off into convenient parking spaces. Why could we not have a miniature Exchange Place? 'Five minute Parking. i'No parking to Corner. No parking between signs. For regular customers who use the corridors daily, special rental spaces could be hired and appropriately labeled: Parking space No. VI reserved by J. and K. or- No trespassingg this lot reserved by H. and I. it ' THE CADUCEUS Limerox Poor Casey is surely in love now! iw lf And she is good-looking,-but how!

Murray Hines, which is one of the most familiar landmarks of Clas- sical, be donated to the Rhode Island Histor- ical Society, to be preserved for future gener- ations. It is being rumored that divorce must have found some favor in the 17th century, for a scholarly senior has expounded his belief that, since Milton was married three times, he must have been divorced twice. It is estimated that the long-waited trea- tise, On the Impossibility of Walking through Doors, written by Russel Everson after much research, is now nearing comple- tion. A certain teacher, Cdiscretion prevents us from revealing his identityj, has launched a campaign against the evils of keeping combs and tooth-brushes in desks. Her contention is that the desks become contaminated, It has been alleged by Mr. Nalbandian that conubium, a Latin word which- is derived from 'Acum, meaning with, and nubes, cloud, receives its meaning of marriage from the fact that, when a man is wed, his wife is a cloud over him for the rest of his life. Many, would-be art critics are enthusiastic over the unique and entertaining portrait studies in the gallery of Room ZP. The sad tale of the life of students may be easily read upon their sympathetic book- covers, which are often the sole confidantes of despairing scholars. Mr. Bernard Cohen, a very learned gen- tleman, showed his deep interest in natural history by his assertion that a hay-cock is a kind of rooster. An accepted theory was exploded when, in the impromptu conversations held in the English class, the feminine speakers were noticeably modest and unloquacious. A substantial reward would be given to any person clever enough to invent a contrap- tion that would hold up books without the use of the hands, With this a screen, stu- dents would be enabled to employ their hands for much more useful, but, alas, less schol- arly pursuits. The supper committee has decided that beef loaf and carrots, cooked in that inimi- table way typical of Classical, will be served at the class supper as a symbol of the good old days and, incidentally, of the lunches of Classical. Though many have not been permitted to visit the gym for basketball practice during school hours, they have ingeniously substi- tuted the waste basket and anything available for the ball as their paraphernalia. The recent sand storm in Room 5 has probably ensured the pupils against the wiles of the romantic Sahara.
