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.

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 Nf3Q Q : THE CADUCEUS CHARLES MOSS Track, C3, 4lg Swimming, C3, 4j. BROWN Charlie has the face of a business man, and in this case appearances are not deceiving, for he is one of our lunchfroom cash jugglers. Few salads, cookies, etc., have passed his cash box without being paid for OJ -- and well paid for at that. But moneyftaking is not his only forte, he inf dulges in chemistry also. What awful mixtures he has concocted in his day! In fact, we notice his influence in the lunchfroom! In the future, let us hope that, according to the proverb, the evil influence of a rolling stone does not gather our Moss. ADELMA MARY MOTT German Clubg Dance Committee. WHEATON One of our qui t irls is Del, Although she doesn't roar out hoisterously to sho e irth, we know that she appreciates the humorous side of life, becau ry o ten we see her countenance light up with a smile. The ockev ' s e ed to be a great source of enjoyment to her, for she Ent A nd em, both this year and last. Ne Sept r we expect to see Del enter Wheaton, where she will drink again at the fountain of knowledge. PEMBROKE MARY ALICE MURRAY Caduceus Board 4 ARCANGEL ORLANDA NACCI What! You didn't know we had royalty in our cl1ss7 Here she is Marie Antoinette. CAl's friends know why she's called thatj We told her that she had better not go to Hollywood, since some movie producer would snatch her away from us, for with her looks, together with ability to sing and dance, Hlmdom would covet her. And popularffwhy that's no name for it! Alice is kept very busy with a steady line of invitations to parties and dances. Her career is undecided, but, as she is an A stu' dent in history, she may be a professional historian some day. Who knows? R. I. C. E. Arcy, as she is known to most of her friends, is not only the youngest, but one of the intelligentsia of the class. If you can't quite get that funny part in Vergil or Homer, ask this young lady's aid, you may be sure of cheerful and beneficial assistance. History seems to be her favorite study, as any third period finds her in 6R, doing extra reading, When she leaves Classical she will continue, ftogether with many of her present friendsj, to absorb knowledge at R.
