16 THE CADUCEUS GIBBS LOUIS CHARLES IRVING BROWN Louie has a keen sense of humor. He proved it when he brought a rope to school the day of an examination fe-so that, if the latter was too hard he could hang himself . . . or perhaps, the teacher. His pet dish is mathematics, and he would like nothing better than to sit down before a table loaded with math delicatessen and devour all the mantissae. Have you heard of his latest modihcation of Darwin's theorygthe evolution of polynomials? Teachers seldom say anything in Louie's presence that is not challenged by him. And once he won his argumentg the boy certainly deserves credit. We appreciate it, Louie! HARVARD one of the foremost lawyers of the country GEORGE FRANCIS JORDAN, JR. Dance Committee, Swimming, 13, 45. R. I. S. C. George is one of the gentlemen of the class who has a heart from which noble sentiments spring like sparks from an anvil. He is a jolly all weather friend, capable of making a way through a world of obstacles. Every one has his ups and downs, but George specializes in ups He can give a detailed summary of the best shows in town, and is a popular boy at social affairs. Lets give a Yeafa, Rah!

After that we may hear great things of Miss Hewitson, physical training instructor. HELEN MARION HICKEY Glee Club, C21. R. I. C. E. Who doesn't know Helen, a tall, dark, and handsome brunette? It is said that Gentlemen prefer blondes, but in this case the statement is proved all wrong. I wonder what those intensive looks mean, which are cast in a certain direction during the Spanish class? Ask Heleng she knows. Although she is always ready for social events, a good report seems to appear at the end of each quarter. She serves as a good reference bureau for finding out where Kamchatka, IndofChina, and Mt Ararat are Perf haps she will be teaching about these very places some day, for she hopes to enter R. I. C. E. DAVID HORVITZ Orchestra, C415 Caduceus Board, Advertising Manager, C415 Advanced Orchestra, C41. M. I. T. Behold Little Davy, our Advertising Manager, who overwhelms the Goliaths of customers with his mighty slinging of the bull, He is a wonder at juggling Hgures and formulae, a genius at chemistry, a wizard at French, and manifests an able proficiency in everything he undertakes. A Cum Laude pin is eloquent testimony of these facts. Among his many LISSCIZS is a jovial disposition, which goes a long way toward making and holding friends. His mathematical talents will be further cultivated and enlarged at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. HELEN HOWARD Basketball, Cl, 2, 3, 41, Captain, C315 Volley Ball, CZ, 415 Baseball, C415 I Field Hockey, C415 Glee Club, C3, 415 Tennis, PEMBROKE - Helen is one of our star athletes, the mainstay, as well, of all our teams. As she never misses playing in a single game, she has a large share in whatf ever victories we win. However, Helen always finds time for her studies, is in the First Division, and is the kind of a girl who is always willing to lend a helping hand to a less fortunate fellowfclassmate. We shall soon be reading in the papers that Helen's athletic feats are adding fame to Pembroke annals.

PARENSEM KARIAN Glee Club, Pansy's dimples have won her many a friend in Classical. Her keen wit is ready to enjoy any remarks passed by her classmates. She is also one of our artists, elevated, by popular consent, to the position of sign' painter of her homefroom. She does not spend all her time, however, drawing and mixing colorful paints, for she adores dancing. This is her chief delight. When a social comes along, Pansy's first question is, Good dance music? All right, I'll come. French holds a great Riscination for her, in fact, if her plans are successful, she may cultivate the native accent l in Paris, after leaving Classical.

Now we come to a shy, retreating lad, who holds the admiration of the whole school. His versatility in the Held of sport has made him a general favorite of both sexes, but though he is the subject of animated discussion among the fairer sex on many occasions, his bashful nature keeps him from becoming a lady's man. jack is in reality a rough and ready hefman, as many of his opponents will testify, and these hefmen are hard to understand. As the movingfpictures require this type now, surely jack will wind up as a hero! Hasta la vista!
