y aJffTKW THE CADUCEUS IRVING RICHARD LYMAN Cheer Leader, C315 Track, BROWN May we introduce to you our future famous surgeon? Some time ago Lyman decided there was a dearth of redfheaded tonsilfremovers, and resolved to do his bit to fill the vacancy. He is sure to be as popular with his patients as with the students at Classical, thanks to his elfervescent personality and pleasing disposition. His high scholarship has won him the approval of the faculty, as it will merit the acclamation of his fellows in later life. May your diagnoses always be correct, Lyman! DOROTHY MAY MACQUARRIE BRYANT AND STRATTON While the students of om 5-bless their dutiful little hearts are deeply engrossed in concei t 'on over geometry originals during the afterf lunch study period eac , , t ir train of thought is suddenly interrupted by the sque' ing of r o ate fdarved door and Dot's entrance into our midst. She me ' ely r acss erself in our favor, however, by beaming a most e i , allfenvelopin smile upon us. The reason for Dot's tardiness is, e takes so ubjects in Commercial, and, judging from her marks QV' ookkeepiflgl typewriting, she is proficient in her studies there. Dot's Classical edh ation, coupled with her secretarial training, will undoubtedly make her a most eflicient private secretary to some fortunate executive in the rapidlyfapproaching future. ANNA RITA MANNING Dance Committee, C435 Orchestra, fl, 2, 3X Leaders Corps. R. I. C. E. Behold one of the most beloved girls in our class! One look into those deep blue eyes has often been the cause of sending cares afhiding. Anna is also the owner of a smile which poets have made famous, and which has won for her a host of friends. Another of Anna's enviable possessions is her sunny disposition, which is felt by all those who come in contact with her. Her love for dancing has resulted in her attendance at all of Classical's social activities, to which zest is added by her presence. Anna intends to finish her education at R. I. C. E., after which we know that she will be the answer to many a little C?j boy's prayer. KATHARINE MARY MCCARTHY Glee Club, Katharine's keen appreciation of humor, as well as her own skill in repartee, has won her many friends. A smile a day seems to be her motto, for often you can find her laughing at some bright remark made by a class' mate. Take a friendly tip and don't try to match wits with her, unless you want to be worsted. She is uncertain about her future, but wherever she goes, she will continue to brighten the day for her associates.

maffbc mm THE CADUCEUS LUCIENNE MARIE LAVALLEE Basketball, fl, 2, 3, 415 Valley Ball, C315 Glee Club, Cl, 2, 415 Treasurer, Art Club, Chairman, French Clubg German Play, 1415 Photograph Committee. R. I. C. E. Take more than a casual glance at the accompanying photograph, for you have before you one of our unusually versatile classmates. Lu is a musician, athlete, linguist and artist. Those who heard her tickle the keys at the German Christmas Play and the Division 4 Play, agree that she is an outstanding pianist. A certain group Cmum's the word1 is also indebted to her for some most enjoyable-if not timely-impromptu selections. A toast to our Lady of the Ivories! HOWARD ERIC LIND R. I. S. C. If you were an employer, searching for an ambitious, wellfgroomed, businessflike young man, an interview with Howard would convince you absolutely that you would End all these priceless qualities in him. His zeal in his studies is like that of a rising young business man. A love for fun, geniality, and a tendftofbusiness attitude make a likable chap of him. As Howie has done extremely well at Classical, he will undoubtedly conf tinue to do so at R. I. State College. RUTH MACRAE LISTER Orchestra, C3, 415 Supper Committee, C41. CONNECTICUT Ruth is the young lady who Piccolo Petes in the orchestra, on Mon- day mornings with her trusty flute. There's something in the song about high notes and low notes, but the high notes of her scholastic career are just as outstanding as those of the flute. Arriving here from North Provif dence at about 29 minutes past eight every morning, we don't have much chance to talk to her before school, except for a few Hurry upsf' but at lunch and after school we can readily understand why her four years at Connecticut will be very successful. AMERICO DOMENICO LONGO Soccer, Cl, 2, 3, 415 Baseball, fl, 41. P. C. In every class there are one or two mystery men of whose life and achievements we know little. If a musical name denotes musical talent, perhaps Longo will give us a lead. But we can judge only from his Cmarvelous?1 base voice, which we hear at our weekly gatherings in the hall. Although he delights in singing rests and bellowing forth at unexpected moments, he has the right spirit, and means no harm. Our Longo is eflicient, to say the least. May he carry on when he enters Providence College, in the same spirited fashion.

y'S3xN5? EQ? THE CADUCEUS MARGARET ELIZABETH MCCARTHY Margaret, Katharine's other half, resembles her sister in many ways. To many of her classmates she appears to be a very meek student, but her friends realize that this impression is but a dupe. When school is out, or during the lunch period, she adds that extra bit so necessary to social gatherings, humor. Art circles will have the pleasure of her charming per' sonality after she completes her high school career. She will gain many new acquaintances in the years to come, but her classmates will not forget her effervescent bonhomie. WILLIAM JOHN MCGOWAN Orchestra, CZ, 3, 4jg Gift Committee, A Zeusflike spirit of calm is apparent in all of this young man's underf takings. When he gets up to recite, there is no quaking, no gobbling of phrases, what he says is concise and accurate. Once learned, a formula or an irregular verb never escapes him. To leave a task in his hands, is to see it accomplished, a flrct which was demonstrated remarkably well in the way he farmed the revenues for the class gift. Even while your lips denied him, your hand stole into your pocket, to find its way unerringly to his, with the necessary amount therein. These characteristics find an outlet in the even, restrained technique of his violinfplaying. Can you imagine any one like this making a failure of life? Of course not! KATHLEEN AGNES McKAY Glee Club, MD. PEMBROKE Think, for a moment of all the songs and poems written about Kathf leen, and then shift your attention to our own Kay. Doesn't there seem to be some connection? It takes such little imagination to visualize a person in that mood writing a beautiful sonnet, using Kay as his subject! French heads the list of her favorite studies. Academic difficulties form no barrier across her path, for Kathleen and perseverance work hand in hand. May you, when you become a dignified pedagogue, have countless students of the same sterling calibre as your own. MARY FRANCES McKAY PBMBROKE Glee Club, C425 Caduceus Board, HJ. 'LWhereupon, the highfminded Mary, after deliberating well, rose in the assembly and spoke winged words, saying, 'Oh, ye fashionablyfclad Classicalidae, it isl' No one murmurs against her decision. It is futile to argue with Mary, for she will surely convince you that she is right. And she really is, as her Summa Cum Laude record tells the world! Yet in spite of her intensive, systematic studying, she always has time to lead the fun. How lucky the students of Pembroke to receive this happyfmerryf maker! And how lucky the profs to have to scan her alwaysfperfect papers!
