THE CADUCEUS BERTHA ROWENA MARCUS Wellesley If quietness is an indication of depth, that very fact may be the reason why Bertha's classmates find it very dillicult to fathom her true nature. Yet certain of our observations speak truly: we envy her poise and excellent enunciation when it becomes her turn to mount the rostrum of Room ZR, In imagi- nation we hear her with patriotic fervor joining the throng shouting W-e-l-l-e-s-l-e-y, Wellesley. EDWARD EUGENE McCABE Orchestra Cl, Z, 3, 47: Debating Society Cl, 2, 3j: Caduceus Board Q45 Brown Note the thoughtful, pensive face of our loquacious Editor- in-Chief, the philosopher of the Class of '29, His musical ability is well demonstrated by the fact that he has for two seasons occupied first chair in his section of the All-New England High School Orchestra. Mac is an excellent speaker, too. He is a lover of good, clean, wholesome fun, and is the life of the corner clique. From the middle of April until the middle of September Mac takes up his residence at Kingsley Park, for he is a rabid, red-hot regular ball-fan. JAMES PATRICK McCAEEREY Baseball QZ, 3, 45: Captain C352 Hockey 12, 3, 41: Football C3, 4j 1 President of the Athletic Association Harvard lt is almost incredible that the same quiet, modest, easy-go- ing young man could be such a hard-playing athlete. With our hockeyists he is a skilful right wing, and was awarded the right wing berth on the All-lnterscholastic Team. His greatest honors, however, have been won on the ball team, on which he is a fast and accurate left-fielder and a terrific hitter. For two years he has held that position in the All-lnterscholastic and All-State Baseball Teams. Throughout his career his scholar- ship has been consistently good. Although Jim plays a very hard game, he is always the cleanest and most gentlemanly sportsman in the fighting centre. DORIS MARY MCDERMOTT Basketball 13-43: Hockey C3-43: Volley Ball 447: Photograph Committee Q4j Pembroke Doris is the most surprising personl lt is almost inconceiv- able that the same individual can bang a hockey ball around so viciously and yet wield a paint brush so daintily in Mr. Ran- dall's special corner of C'assical. We just can't fathom the riddle. Her unfailing presence at all student dances shows not only her Terpsichorean proclivity, but also her genuine school spirit. We are naturally interested to see which one of Doris's various talents will claim her after her scholastic days are over. Lucky girl, Doris, to have so many from which to choosef

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. DOROTHY ELIZABETH LOVETI Basketball fl 49 Through dim, dark halls of Classical To help us make our days less dull And send old gloom a-hiding While wandering through this high school maze And wrestling with her studies Dot captured many an ardent gaze i And gained a throng of buddies EZEKIEL LIMMER Fencing CZ, 3 4j Limmer is one of our mathematical geniuses If there is any possible way of proving a problem in geometry Zeke will find it. 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

THE CADUCEUS THOMAS HENRY MCGOVERN, JR. Senior Play: French Club Committee: Social Committee c4l1 Supper Committee C4j M. I. T. Tommy should be on the track team, for he is always going places and doing things in a hurry. In spite of his work and study, he always has time to tell us the latest story or the oldest joke. Tommy made a great hit in the Senior Play, and in the theatrical line, he has no Rivals, With Freddie and Rowley he has had a successful year in the French Club, providing good times for the members. Vvlhen September rolls around Tommy is going up to M. I. T. to make a name for himself as an engineer. DONALD MELOON MIDWOOD Tennis fl,2,3,4J3 Track Q43 Brown Middy-versatile athlete, captain of the lunch-room wrest- ling team, and world's champion crumb-shooter. Besides hand- ling a racquet in a very proficient manner he is a natural-born hurdler, and some day we expect to see him a I. C. A. A. A. A, champion timber-topper. Next to Miss Roberts' English class Middy enjoys the study of civics more than anything else in the curriculum. He is always ready with an exuberant How of correct answers. Incidentally he has shown his prowess as a lawyer by his able defense of one D. Toinerf' feloniously accused of deliberately cutting school one day to attend a cer- tain show in town. WALTER STANLEY MIKLOSZ Brown If speech is silver and silence is golden, Walt must have his pockets full of gold, for he's so quiet we hardly know he's present. But have you ever noticed that one of the most peculiar characteristics about some quiet people is their sense of humor, which no one would guess was there? Walt has been with us only part of his scholastic career, Tech's loss being Classical's gain when he transferred two years ago, He intends to climb the hill. where many of Classical's 1929 grads will have the chance to become better acquainted with him. CHARLES DAVID MILLER Orchestra fl-2-3-45 I-Iere's a big, languid, easy-going chap who doesn't care a skip for petty cares and troubles. When he slips a good reed under the ligature of his old B flat clarinet, you hear tone such as is produced by the leading exponents of the best clarinet playing. Charlie once staged a battle with a Cireek by the name of Xenophon and was bested by a slight margin: but then he would much rather play with the chemicals so kindly fur- nished by the city than get out a Greek lesson. Every man to lgis own humor, as Phidias or Lindbergh or somebody else as said.
