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!

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.

E THE CADUCEUS ALICE MARY MCKENNA R. I. C. E. Alice has been suitably rewarded for her conscientious work through' out her high school course with the Summa Cum Laude. Her meek, quiet mien is rather deceitful, for deep within her there is a fountain of joy which spurts up when least expected. She can parlez francais like a true Paris' ienneg so a few years hence we shall probably find her teaching in her Alma Mater. to hear him relate his spectacular feats of the gridiron-and it won't be long JOHN FRANCIS MCKIERNAN Football, C3, 4jg Track, C415 Baseball, C4jg Clee Club, C4Dg German Play, C45 BROWN This big mass of muscle is his father's pride and his mother's joy. He will inevitably be a great football star, some day, as his work for dear old Classical is characteristic of such a fine fighting spirit. He has a good scholastic record, and a bevy of pals to boot. All his old classmates look forward to the day when we shall gather together, as tired business men, now l DONALD MELOON MIDWOCD Tennis, Cl, 2, 3, 4jg Track, C3, 41. Don is that long, lanky fellow, who is so well known and liked in all his classes. When called upon, he usually drags himself from the abyss of his chair as if weighed down by all the cares of this world. Then he answers in a sepulchral monotone. He seems to be ever a victim of Cupid's dartsg his ajfaires de coeur are always subject to change without notice. In spite of these propensities, and maybe because of them, he has been very pop' ular at Classical. May his personality make as deep an impression at Brown next year! CHARLES DAVID MILLER Orchestra, Cl, 2, 3, 4Dg Clee Club, CD5 Senior Play, C4j. GENERAL ELECTRIC SCHOOL Were it not for the fact that satyrs are supposed to be slender and sylphlike in form, our Charlie could easily substitute for the mythological Pan by virtue of his remarkable clarinet playing. We would not want him to become a Pan, anyway, we'd miss him too much around school. His genial countenance and rotund corpulence can never be overlooked. On account of these attributes he was made guardian of the sacred lunch counf ter, a post which he amply Hlls. He may be seen any day handing out straws with an air of great philanthropy. All joking aside, Charlie is to be envied for his hosts of friends, his happy nature, and general happyfgof luckiness.
