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.

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.

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.

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.

Through the sombre corridors of our gracious, old school flits a little red sprite. darting here and there on light feet. This is our Dottie. One can always count on her being present at the student dances, but one can never count on getting a dance with her. Just as you start to ask her for one, a small Sheik appears from somewhere, and then you might as well try to pull fly-paper off your Hngers as to get our little' Sheba from him.
