She has that smile you love to see. In fact, when she is around with that sunny smile of hers, you have eyes for nothing but. May she someday write down her recipe for spreading sunshine and give the rest of us a chancel Here's hoping your future will be as bright as your smile. Brown ELIA JULIA NARDOLILLO Hockey 12, 3, 49: Baseball 123: Volley Ball CZ, BD Photograph Committee C43 St. Josephs Hospital Training School The charm of Elia's smile and the gaiety of her dimples have done much to make our four years at Classical more pleas- ant. She has always radiated joy to pupil and teacher alike, for she is a clever student who never need fear the pedagogue's frown. Elia is a graceful dancer too, as every boy whose heart has beat faster at the thought of asking her to dance will tell you. Altogether, she is another of our class's versatile girls- an athlete. a student, a good dancer, and an all-'round good sport. FRED EDWARD MOTTA Baseball 13, 45: Football C3 43 Hockey C3 45 Manager Basketball f4D Holy Cross Chug has been one of Classical s best athletes for the last four years .

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.

if T?i?i?EA 1575 LOUISE NARDUCCI Louise is a real philanthropist. lf you need help in any subject, she is ready to help pull you through. She has more penholders and blotters to lend igratisl than you can count. and no one need be short of one when she is within calling distance. Lu prepares her lessons well, but she always finds time for a good book. when one is to be had. She doesn't seem to know where she will go after leaving Classical, but she cer- tainly has our best wishes. WALTER JOSEE NELSON Fencing 12, 3, 4,71 Dance Committee f4J: Dance Orchestra QZ, 3, 47 Brown Our myriad-minded Waltf Truly a Goldsmithian chap: affable, good-natured, and artisticf He has on the piano what 'ADazzy Vance has on the ball: plenty of stuff . When he and a piano get together to do a bit of harmonizing, his nimble Engers coax more out of the inanimate member of the team than anyone would believe was in it. Vwfalt puts the same artistic finish to his fencing as he does to his music. Every recitation is a little drama to him, and he rises to the most sublime heights of ecstasy, or plunges to the profoundest depths of despair at will. He intends to make the piano his means of pursuing the almighty dollar. ROLAND GLENDON NEWCOMBE Ciift Committee Brown Classicals outstanding humorist is Roland Newcombe. His dry, witty remarks and droll humor have made him one of our real laugh-producers, He provides a treat for teachers live times a day, by giving clear, intelligent recitations in all his classes. He can talk to you, laugh with you, and knows when and how to help you. His good work in technical and mathematical subjects has influenced him in choosing engineering as a career. lf you are ever at Brown be sure to look up Roland as he is going there next fall. DEBORAH Supper Committee 44? Mount Holyoke Deborah is the mathematical genius of our class. There is no geometry theorem or algebra problem, no matter how tricky. which has not succumbed to her meticulous. analytical methods of working. Her lOO's in algebra. geometry, and physics are deservedly proverbial. She and A'Ciggles Kelman have often enlivened the back seats of Mr. Peck's Greek division by their jokes, for Deb is a merry and lively friend. as well as a good student. Her friends in Providence will miss her when she goes to Mount Holyoke next year. ODE
