Gibbs THE Cz-ii5UCE'iUs A ' FF WILLIAM KONTSAS Brown Bill is so closely withdrawn within his inner self that we sometimes wish he would slip out of his sheathe. 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. FLORENCE INEZ KWASHA Basketball fl-2-3-43: Caduceus Board Pembroke Florence isn't long for this world, for she measures only five feet Cmore or lessij from head to toe. She conceals. how- ever, some very real ability behind an extremely pleasant ex- terior. Her proudest possession is an award of 'Summa Cum Laude in recognition of her exceptionally fine school work. Appearances are sometimes deceiving-but not in Florence's case. She is small and dark, with sparkling eyes, pretty face, and-well, you probably know her, too. Everybody doesl Here's looking forward to four successful years for Florence at Pembroke, beginning next September. JOSEPH ADELARD LANDRY Senior Play Brown Joe is one young man who is well aware of the fact that always being in jovial good-humor lightens the dreary grind materially. 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,

'I'HE CADUCEUS LILLIAN KELMAN Hockey 135: Class Play 441: Gift Committee Q49 Pembroke ' A nickname like Giggles seems to imply a rather flippant 'young person who laughs incessantly. Lil has proved, how- ever. that infectious good-humor and high marks go well to- gether. for she has won a Summa Cum Laude cross by four 'years of consistently good work, Her illustrated history note- book has been a delight to Miss Hathaway's history class, and her good recitations are life-savers to pupils floundering among the names of the ancient Greeks. I.il's interest in Held-hockey and her good performance in the Class Play have made her an addition to the athletic and social sides of Classical. FLORENCE ELIZABETH KEIQSHAW Pembroke XVe understand that Florence is very versatile. Her record at New Bedford High School credits her with leadership in debating-and did she not show her forensic ability here also? XVhat a combination of talents she possesssesf How she can sing. play, and act? In fact, our Florence can adapt herself to all sorts of circumstances. Vile all look forward to the brilliant career we know she will make when a student at Pembroke.

EUGENE HOLMES KING Social Committee fglf Gift Committee 149 Flrack IZ 3 4j Rhode Island State College The boy King with the winning smile and the permanent wave-that's Holmes. These two features, together with his pleasing personality, have won for him a large number, of friends. And you should see him pole-vault. In the sport line he has gone out particularly for track. He is also very fond of arguing with the teachers. Holmes is undecided about his future. but we know that whatever he undertakes he will be very sucf cessful. Yes, he will be a King for many a day.

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. What- ever it may signify, we all heartily agree with her. Hal has that very enviable trait of being able to talk from now until Doomsday without being caught. She must be possessed of a pair of seven-league boots, which come in very handy at lunch- time. Her ability to stride ahead of others will surely be her Open Sesamesn to success at Pembroke, where she will be one of the numerous representatives of Mr. Peck's Honor Division. Brave Dottie came a-riding, l ABRAHAM LOUIS LISKER Tennis C1,2, 32 Brown Howdy folks! Step right up and call him Honest Abe, the big boy of the class ,.... a complexion that can't be improved by two carloads of that familiar brand of soap. In room 5 and elsewhere he is one of the old reliables who can be depended upon for beautiful and satisfactory recitations. In the spring and in the summer Abe can be seen courting in Roger Williams Park, for he is a rival of Tilden and of Hal Johnson in the realm of tennis. May he volley in life as effectively as on the courts? I l Brown place on the fencing team.

He even goes so far as to show casier methods to prove book theorems. Because he excels in mathematics it does not follow that his scholarship is not good in other subjects for he is one of our best students. Zeke does not devote all his time to his lessons, however. For the past three years ht has held his
