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.

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.

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. He has that gift and virtue of saying little, with the complementary gift of' speaking directly and forcefully when necessary. ln football he gave a convincing exhibition of the best western style. 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.
