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 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 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
