WILLIAM THANE PECK. We take extreme pleasure in being able to dedicate to him, as a very humble token of our sincere appreciation, this 1931 edition of the Caduceus. yS x!xZ3'2 i?3 THE CADUCEUS Bl Il II lEIl IEII IEH ll Il IE El E1 Cgoreword gl xy This year's Cacluceus Board has earnestly endeavored to present a complete, realistic, and composite picture of the activities at Classical during the school year 193031. We have striven sincerely to present our classmates as they actually are, and to include carefully compiled and interesting data about the underclassrnen. We trust that the criticisms of our readers will be neither too harsh nor too numerous. EH ll ll iEIl IEII IEJI Il ll IG 4 THE CADUCEUS CHARLES E. PAINE, VICE'PRINClPAL FACULTY WILLIAM T.

Ruth is a very quiet girl but she is of sterling quality. She has not made so many friends as some have but she has always remained faithful and true. She lives far out in the country, nevertheless she has done well to enter into school activities as she has. Ruth is interested in music. She has been in the Glee Club for two years. Her sweet voice has brightf ened up the chorus. With an interest also in organ music, Ruth is trying very hard to become an ideal player. While undecided as to what college she would like to attend, she wishes to take up pipe organ more extensively. We certainly hope that Ruth may some day be able to fuliill her cherished ideal. LYDIA ALLEN Basketball, H115 Swimming, C215 Supper Committee, C41. Lydia is a demure little girl. She has always been on the upward trail since she entered Classical. The way sometimes has had many obstacles but she has always overcome them. She is interested in swim' ming. In the meet last year her masterful breast stroke brought her in with honor. Although she is quiet she has always brightened up the classroom with those little dimples. Her favorite subject is French. We have sometimes heard that there has been quite a commotion in that class. I wonder if Lydia could tell us what it is about. Her specialty is drawing. She hopes to be able to take up drawing in some form or other after she leaves Classical. Some day we hope she may become a famous artist. RICHARD WICKES ARMINGION Glce Club, Q3, 41.

This ma ' I ' 1 extremely popular amoi those of the fairer sex. :p romises to be a great track star, for he is all the way down the corridor before the lunch bell stops ringing. Nevertheless, he has done no real harm by running at such tremendous speed. except to knock down an occasional teacher. He has decided to partake of Bentley's menu next fall. iii? scffafiiil THE CADUCEUS VIOLET ROSE ARTHUR Glee Club, C3, 45 Happy am I, from care I'm free. Why aren't they all content like me? This fair lady needs no introduction, as her carefree manner has won many a friend for her at Classical. The saying that Gentlemen prefer blondes, is well illustrated in L'Vi's case, which proves her absence from the school's social activities. Music is Vi's chosen profession, in which we wish her luck, and we shall expect to hear from her in years to come as leading lady of the Metrof politan Opera Company. HOWARD FRANKLIN BARKER, JR. Track, KZDQ Class Treasurer, BROWN Tall, dark and goodflooking is Howie, our genial class treasurer. During his stay at Classical he has won his Way into the hearts of his classmates. Perhaps one of the secrets of his popularity is a jovial dis' position, which goes a long way toward making and holding friends. Some credit for the success of the Senior Play is due to this young man as Assistant Stage Ivianager. Next year L'Howie will amble up Waterman Street Hill, and we feel sure Brown will appreciate his friendliness, kindness, keenness and adaptability, as much as the class of '31 has enjoyed this combination of good traits. ETHEL MANDE BARNES Basketball, CZ, 3, 455 Tennis, Cl, 215 Volley Ball, CZ, IDQ Dance Committee, f4D. Ethel has an enviable reputation in algebraic circles-or should we say equations? Many philosophers have said that the feminine mind is illogical, but Ethel is a contradiction of this statement. Do not imagine that because she likes mathematics she is a grind by any means. Ethel can always be found at student dances and other similar social diversions. She also takes part in athletics. If the rest of the school attended hockey games, and so forth, as consistently as Ethel does, the athletic committee would never lack funds. While Ethel has not yet decided what she intends to do, we think that when she does decide, her choice will be a good one. ROSAMOND CELESTE BARRY Photograpli Committe C4Jg Dance Committee, C4j. R C.

We t quite imagine Rosamond as a be' spectacled schoolfmarm - rnestly advancing the cause of learning, butf they'll be lucky pupils. s!Jef'6SXf' W' Jfb iif' fifl THE CADUCEUS SAMUEL BAXTER BARSAMIAN Baseball, fl, Z, 3lg Football, C3, 4jg Basketball, C3, 41, Captain, Q42 Gift Committee, WILLIAM AND MARY From the very first he let the upperfclassmen know that he was heres-- and they saw to it that he stayed here. What a man! What he can't do in the line of sports is not worth mentioning in this beloved book. People cry for him, his friends are continually besought for introductions on each of his public appearances. Such magnetism! Such capacity! His engagement books are filled. He is extremely clever at giving im' promptu addresses, as all Classicalites well know. He intends to export himself, from here, to William and Mary, where as much will be expected of him as is here. for the coming year are as yet uncertain. PRISCILLA ANDREWS BENNETT Priscilla hails from a distant, unknown spot called Lime Rock, whence she emerges daily to imbibe instruction at this fount of learning. We are very glad the buses run so often from this foreign clime, for although she is not of Greece proper, at it were, we consider her worthy and more than worthy of citizenship in this, our aristocratic and exclusive institute. She is a pleasant, friendly companion, who mixes very well with every one and has a broad circle of acquaintances. Pembroke is to receive Priscilla this coming September. In a short time we shall see her carrying the daisy chain. MARY CATHERINE BEANE Basketball, fl, 2, 3, 455 Volley Ball, CU Baseball C21 Hockey C3 4, n Tennis 1 2 3 4 5 4 7 7 D Here comes Beansg so immediately things begin to liven up Among her accomplishments can be rated proficiency in basketball and expertness in muttering in class. Mary certainly will be missed next year She has received the title of O. P. Cofiicial prompterb in geometry class along with another young lady. We notice also th it she is athletic reporter from Room 6, a duty which summons Mary to Miss Dwyer s room every day. We all wish that we had such a good excuse to get a blue slip Mary's quickness and vivacity are known by the whole school Her plans REBECCA BERRY Behold the darkfhaired, rosyfcheeked maiden' Hard is it may be to believe, this girl has maintained throughout all her school life a remark able reputation for her goodfnature. No difficulties and hardships could keep her from having this good humor. She is also i conscientious student who always believes in having her homework done on time Whenever any encouragement is needed, Becky is right on hand to give it She is willing at all times to put aside whatever she may be doing to help you out. She has not decided where she will go to college but we hope that her present reputation may remain with her Q s5323QffNX2l 8 THE CADUCEUS fl, 2, 3, 4, PBMBROKE will be disappointed in her wish. GERTRUDE MILDRED BOEI-IM Swimming, fl, Zjg Clee Club, Q3, 45. The voice was sweet, gentle, and low, said a poet. Gertrude's vivacity is somewhat restrained in school, but actually she is a person full of life, eager for it, and fully enjoying it, a modern American girl, vitally interested in sports. She excels in dancingf-ballroom, toe, tap, acrobatic- any kind at all! As we know, Gert is endowed with a generous share of pulchritude, which has been appreciated and admired. One could go on indefinitely, mentioning her charms. That is why we know, dear reader, that Gert will succeed. PE BROKE R g year she will brighten up Pembroke. JULIA MARLOWE BRADY Basketball, QI, 2, 4jg Caduceus Board, C4Dg Leaders' Corps, ll, 215 German Club, f4Dg Glee Club, l4D. julia is a pal 'sas is. If you want moral support, or encouragement, or some trifling aid to clear the hurdles of education, call on her. Although she sometimes appears quite serious and earnest, jollity is by no means lacking in her. She has an aptitude for remembering jokes and humorous situations, which she exercises skillfully for the amusement of others. Her one acknowledged enemy is mathematics, yet as far as we can see, she and Matthew, exacting tyrant that he is, get on very well. Rumor hath it that she has engaged with no little success in the culinary arts. Perhaps she meditates the manufacture of doughnuts like mother used to make. As yet she has decided on no future plans. It's a woman's privilege and women have few enough, so use it. DOROTHY LILLIAN BLANOHARD J C Basketball, CD5 Leaders' Corps, C2 Secretary, Glee Club Dorothy is a very gifted young lady In addition to being blond haired by nature, she has an exceptional talent for dr rwmg and a very fine voice. That strong clear voice is certainly a gre rt help whenever a par ticularly high note occurs in our Monday morning music assembly Dorothy is not at all temperamental, even though she is artistically inclined O the contrary, she possesses that saving gr ice a sense of humor which makes life enjoyable to others as well as herself To use Dot s own words Pembroke is her hopedffor college, and it does not seem probable that she T MELLICENT BOWIE C D Swimming, 2 All those who think that 5 - -' th light flu hair big blue eyes and a sunny disposition ar w. s only in book certunly never met Mellicent, for this d rf ' ion fits he l' 1 Be iutiful but dumb does not appl i is case because -f 1 ' always ready with in answer to everything! f ich is a c in ' .l .

No sentence or phrase, no matter how difiicult, gets by him. He is also known for his poetical translations in Latin. His brain disentangles the unknown examples that no one else can solve. You also have the honor of reading the personal of one of Classical's debaters. One of his chief delights seems to be to speak the English language in such a way that no one can interpret his words, and therefore no one can refute his arguments. This also explains the urgent demand for dictionaries in Room 4 of late. EDWARD PAUL BRQ .

T. - Warren is the tall, handsome blonde who sits in Room 5. He is so quiet that we hardly know that he is there. Warren took part in our German play and made a hit with his tall silk hat and cane. Chemistry interests him very much, a11d he has achieved many fine things in that field. Last summer Warren took a trip to Europe. We appreciate the pictures that he brought back for us to see.

Connie and her blonde friend are inseparablef- wherever one is-you'll find the other. Connie herself is a blonde, smiling lass from Room 5. In hockey she played with the girls, and rooted for the boys. Connie has also graced the swimming pool with her presence and witty remarks. We hear that she is going to become secretary to some fortunate person, and we feel confident he will be entirely satisfied. c4'fffa SNf f'Tii Q4Sl THE CADUCEUS ROBERT EDWARD CARROLL Swimming, C1, ZD5 Basketball, CD5 Tennis, C215 Glee Club, C3, 455 Chairman French Club Committee, C415 Caduceus Board, BROWN Bob is one of the most popular young men in the class. His personal- ity has made him one of the best loved boys in our midst. He has taken part in athletics a great deal. It is rumored that swimming is one of his favorite hobbies. Anyway, he likes to dive into the room about one minute before the last bell. He has brightened up the Glee Club with his musical voice. Whenever Bob asks for help in a lesson, he is rather hard to resist, but Bob does not ask for help generally. He is on the lookout for a chance to assist you. He is always willing to translate Virgil for you. MARGARET ALICE CARTY Basketball, Cl, 2, 335 Volley Ball, Cl, 2, 325 Hockey, CZ, .ZD5 Glee Club, C1, 2, 3b. 'LHurry, Peg, is a usual saying around Room 4. In spite of the fact that some one is generally telling her to hurry, Peg has made a fine athletic record for herself. She is the envied possessor of a major HC, the result of her making the basketball, volley ball and swimming teams. Her wit and humor have caused many a laugh in a dull class and lightened the way for many students. She is not sure what she will do after leaving Classical. JOHN FRANCIS CAVANAGH Hockey, C3, 455 Captain, C415 Supper Committee, HOLY Cnoss johnny, a steady-going chap, if there ever was one, has made himself popular with both sexes through his scholastic and athletic ability. He has been the outstanding player on the hockey team for the past two years. For his consistent good work he was elected to captain a team of veterans during his last year. Because he is so good a mixer, he can be seen in the various corridor groups both before and after school. John intends to continue his career at Holy Cross, JOHN WILLIAM CONATY Football, C455 Debating, CID. BROWN As Orpheus charmed with his music, sox ,owrms with his wit. His jovial manner forces all who come in con wit him to feel goodf natured. However, he can be serious and v usinesslike, as evidenced by his membership in the Debating Club and a ce on the football squad. His ability to pass over some unpleasant 1 with a smile has gained the admiration of his more sensitive cla a s. We might say with sincerity that John has something in com on with the famous Chaplin. Pantomime plays a paramount part in his 'odical pranks. Where John goes, there goes merriment personified. mx have chosen a slogan which fits him perfectly: Gaudeamus igiturlnxx s. f 'i2saQ1vQ fiY 5'iW THE CADUCEUS JOHN KENNETH COOKE Who's that tall. slim, rosyfcheeked fellow strolling down the corridor? Why that's Cookie, our allfaround good sport. To many he seems a quiet, easyfgoing chap, but his closer friends ind a spark of wit and humor which manifests itself very often when we are downfhearted because of some occurrence in class. Combined with this wit, jack has a generous nature and real ability. His favorite indoor sport is argumentation, and if anyone thinks he can best him, step right up, for there is no harm in trying. With these characteristics one is sure to be a success. MARGARET JOSEPHINE COONE German Play, Had Margaret been living in the days of Archimedes that great mathe' matician would have considered her a pupil after his own heart. Although mathematics is her favorite subject, Margaret takes an interest in her other studies, too. As a matter of fact, her interests are quite diversified. Mar' garet is very punctual in all her habits. We really cannot say how early she comes to school, because we are never there before her. Dame Nature bestowed upon Margaret a gift which most fair maids long in vain to possess. That gift is to blush very charmingly on the least provocation. Margaret has not decided on her future course of action. HELEN ELIZABETH CUNNINGHAM Mr. HOLYOKE Helen's nature is keenly sensitiv The sad fate of Dido ved her deepl - h delcate fe ' ar sti ed profoundly by wonders of H r sy pathe c ear lea her to assist poor nfortunates wh an er per xed y i the oeti al mazes of Vir '.

Her sole fault consists in voicing extremel umorous thoughts on solemn occasions, thus impeding the mental activi es of her neighbors. Mt. Holyoke is to receive Helen next fall. DOROTHY MORGAN CURRIER Volley Ball, QZDQ Baseball, CZHQ Baslqetbnll, C3, 4jj Girls' Glee Club, CZ, 3, 45. PEMBROKE L'Dot has won a place in the hearts of all her classmates because she is always ready with a helping hand and is so goodfnatured and cheerful. She is also known for her sportsmanship because of the fact that she has done much in athletics. She has been a valuable member of the Glee Club for three years. During the winter months Dot skated a good deal and was a frequent visitor to the Park, not alone, mind you, but usually ac- companied by a very dear friend fdouble meaningj. Next year Pembroke will receive our Dot, with open arms, we know. !Jfiii2 fii 5iNl THE CADUCEUS JOSEPH CYCKEVICH, JR. German Play, C41 Joe has an outstanding, giltfedge quality which is a neverffailing recipe for success in this world: dependability. Likewise, Joe has amassed some' thing in the way of a record in that he has been tardy but once and never absent in his entire successful career midst the Latin and Greek gods. From this you must readily deduce that he is a really conscientious lad and leads a charmed life. Joe pretends to be bashful with regard to the fair sex, but we suspect otherwise. He showed his dramatic ability by stepping successfully from his goodfnatured self into the role of a tough German youngster. He is undecided about his vocation, but we guarantee unlimited success in the world to this fairfhaired boy from the Davis Park R. I. C. E district. OSEE HELENA DANA Caduceus Board, PEMBROKE Osee has been a commuter from Lakewood for the past four years. The country air must be ver timulating to the intellect, for Osee won the Summa Cum Laude '1 nitio11 of her scholarship. Osee, however, is the kind of girl w ould win honors in any climate. The themes which Osee writes are delight because they are so original. On account of her talent for r' 'ng, she was chosen a member of the Caduceus Board. Osee's favorite i r sport is reading, but she also has an interest in out' offdoor sports. 'Swimming and hiking claim much of her spare time. Fishing has a strange fascination for her. Osee intends to go to Pembroke. RITA MARY DAWSON JOSEPHINE MARIAN DE LISI German Club, C4Jg Hockey, C4J. If you should inquire what Rita's chief ailment IS we should unfail ingly answerfan overdose of high spirits, which does not mean prefwar stuff. Her hilarity is unending and infectious. It is a case of Locate the giggle and you have the girl. This propensity stands her in remark' ably good stead, as she comes up smiling even after nervefracking encounters with Geometry or Burke. We advise her to start in business Riding out blues and ironing the wrinkles from the furrowed brows of carefstricken mortals. She would succeed admirably at this popular and useful work. Perhaps she can do a little along that line when she drops in on R. I. C. E. PEMBROKE Josephine always manages to arrive nonchalantly at the eleventh hour, so to speak, just after we have decided that she is going to be absent. We must admit, however, that she has very seldom been absent. Josephine is very calm under all circumstances. In fact if we were to analyze her character we would say that no trace of agitation could be found. This trait is very helpful on examination days, and we often wish we might be as calm as she. Josephine intends to go to Pembroke along with the greater part of her classmates. THE CADUCEUS GUERINO DELLA GROTTA Orchestra, PROVIDENCE Cotta Now comes the boy who helpe rc tra to be successful. He is gifted with talent, not onl or , but also in doing remarkable experiments in chemistry He romising as a chemist and is bound to succeed in life. He z ays s in his humorous witticisms in English at the most unexpected mes. Della's nature is one of the oases in the Desert of Drudgery w c help to make Classical enjoyable. The Friars will receive him in the fall. LILLIAN CILMORE DEMERS R. I. C. E Attention! Meet the queen of joy and laughter. Lillian is always chock full of fun. When there is any tittering going on in the room, you only have to look at Lillian to find out the cause of it. She is not always laughing, however. She is very serious when it comes to geometry. She does not like to stay in the beaten path when doing originals, but she likes to wander in the unfamiliar paths, solving in much more complicated ways. She has not been in so many athletic events, but she supports them wholeheartedly. She attends all the football games and is one of their best cheerers. Lillian is not sure whether she will take up nursing or be' come a school teacher. AMEDEO DE ROBBIO Soccer, Q41 When the weather is gloomy, th class feeling blue, and citations are flat.

BROWN There goes the last bell! Several minutes later a young man walks in with a penitent expression on his face. George is now temporarily minus a seat in Room 5. Apart from this shortcoming, George is very versatile. His manner of acting was shown to great advantage in his por' trayal of Malory Dwight in the Senior Play. His hobby is reading books on cancer and tuberculosis, and if one can go by that essay he wrote, he sure knows his stuff. Besides studying hard to enter Brown and to become a famous doctor, George plays the piano very well and helps our Boys' Glee Club with his bass voice. George's sympathy and willingness to help people will aid him in his chosen profession. ROBERT LAURISTON EDDY Tennis, Cl, 2, 3, 41, Captain, C415 VicefPresiclent Debating Society, C31g Social Committee, C315 Class President, BROWN Veni Classical, vidi Classical, vici Classical is a most appr r' inf mary of Robert's fourfyear sojourn at our institution o leg-Ying. e entered with a thirst for knowledge, calmly surveyed what s to be do , and did it in such a manner that he gained the admigwh of teachers and classmates alike. For proficiency in scholarshw ert has obtained a Summa, for being an allfaround good fellow he as elected to guide the reins of the Senior Class. Bob helped to accomplish the inevitable, when, with him as captain, our tennis team won the championship in the Inter' scholastic League. We know that his natural capacities and the ability to lead which he has manifested here, will assure him success and happiness in life. ALBERT EDMOND German Play, FARWELL C41. 'g+and the poor goldfish died of sunburn! Thus ended one of Alls ref markable stories, which stunned the ears of the firstfdivision English class. Al is a bit given to overfenthusiasm, and is tempted at times to let his imaginatioi n But these tales and his ruddy personality have won for him the fr p?l admiration of all who have come into contact with him. He has a ne fdie spirit, ich is manifested in all his recitaf tions and has made him po i his teachers. Whenever the class is ready to say, We give up, o me inquisitive question, Al bobs up with an answer that satisfies more or less the teacher's inquisitiveness. When asked about his career he advanced scanty information, but he admitted later on that he will train to be an admiral at Annapolis. MILTON Debating Society, C3, 415 German Play. PHILIP FORMAN Milt is one of those fellows who are not half as studious as they look, despite the fact that he maintains a high average in his studies. For the past two years he has been very active in debating. He's one of the few quiet witty young men who put in a laugh at the right moment. Many a teacher has had to review her hieroglyphics in order to understand his cryptical fourfman signature. We know that Milton will achieve success whatever be his desire. The best wishes of your fellow classmates go with you, Milt. THE CADUCEUS HELEN MARIE FRENCH PEMBROKE Helen is a rather quiet girl, but always ready to smile or help when smiling or helping is needed. She has made many friends during her stay at Classical, and is sure to make many more at Pembroke. She is always very careful to have her studies wellfprepared, but she can and does find plenty of time for other things. Her sunny nature and quiet ways make her beloved by all. Our best wishes go with her in her future under' takings. BARBARA RUTH GAGNER Hockey, C4D. EMBRSON COLLEGE or ORATORY Barbara may be little, hut Oh, my! She has a great personalityg so watch out for her. boys. She is quite interested in athletics. When' ever you wish to find Barbara, she is likely to be in 4R, talking with Miss Dwyer about girls' athletics. Can she dance? Ch, yes! She has hardly a moments peace during a tap dance. She also excels in oratory. She plans to make this her life work. We hope that they will enjoy her as much at Emerson College of Oratory as we do here. Some day, Barbara, we may hear of you as a famous orator. QUENTIN JOSEPH GEARY Hark to the laughter. as lightly it ripples forth from Room 6. Can it be A--O ungrateful one-that you have evoked so great mirth from your studious C71 and aspiring GJ fellow students? But do not gather from this that Quentin does naught but manufacture cause for gaiety. We have heard that Geary believes in making hay while the sun shines, so he supplies his own sun. Added to that is his majestic voice winging its way from the Glee Club to a contented audience. We only hope that Geary's smile will shine as merrily through the halls of his future Alma Mater as it has through the portals of Classical. HERMAN ANTHONY GENTILE Football, C2, 3, 415 Basketball, C355 Swimming,C1. 2, 3Dg Baseball, Mgr., C355 German Play, 141. PROVIDENCE COLLEGE Herman Gentile, gracing the rear of room 5 with a regular boy's laugh and the usual innocent cherubffaced plea to ward off any oncoming storms of disapproval. We, inmates of this room, have found it a source of constant wonder how Gentile managed to retain the same desk for more than half the semester. Far away back in the annals of legendary myths of room 5, it has been recorded that there were 53 pupils, but only 52 desks. So seats were given according to punctuality. Gentile has shown his meritorious skill on the athletic field without the exclusion of hisscholastic responsibilities. We will all regret having Herman leave us, but then-who was it who said, Parting is such sweet sorrow? rwwaw THE CADUCEUS SYDNEY GODFREY If speech is silver and silence is golden, Sydney must have his pockets full of gold, for he is so quiet that we hardly know he is present. Sydney gets flustered very easily, but in spite of this, he does well in his studies. He excels in geometry. There is no original that he doesn't solve. The teachers will have to make up some originals in order to trip him. We all know that Sydney will be a great success. BELLA GOLDENBERG German Club, We cannot mention Bella's name without thinking of a piano. No, you are entirely wrong: her size has nothing to do with it. It is her fine playing which causes us to associate her with a piano. Bella is one of the reasons why the German play was such a splendid success. Her unfailing patience and skill gave courage to the chorus, which was somewhat timorous at the outset. Bella is always appreciative of a good joke, even though musicians in general are regarded as morose and pensive. We can very readily imagine that Bella will devote herself to music, although she has not yet decided about her future career. ALBERT J. GOLDMAN BROWN Al is one of two brothers who have successfully wended their way through Classical together. Our beloved school, beset with its perils and pitfalls, held no horrors for him. He's a very quiet chap, as every good mathematician should be, How he knows his bisected equilaterals! There's something mysterious about these quiet fellows, when you get to know themg they're not quiet at all. Take Al, for instance, he can dance like nobody's business, and his nimble wit is deeply appreciated by all who know him more intimately. Brown is the college of his choice for the extension of his education. We are expecting him to gather in some prizes there for excellence in general, and for mathematics in particular. LEONARD Y. GOLDMAN Fencing, CD5 Tennis, CZ, 3, 4D. CORNELL Behold our Lennie! He is one of Classical's foremost tennis starsg and he also shoots a fine CYD game of golf. These pursuits, however, do not prevent him from earning good marks in all his studies, especially in French. Leonard's ambition is to become a great hnancier. We shall probably be hearing some day in the future, that the bullish activities of the eminent financier, Mr. Leonard Goldman, were the cause of a sudden rise in the stock market. May Fortune always accompany you, Leonard! s5Q1QQ9Q E QJ2 fiW' THE CADUCEUS ANNA MIRIAM GORMAN R. I. C. E. Anna is the girl who always has a pleasant smile, whether it blows fair or foul. This cheery outlook may be attributed to the fact that Anna is a great reader, and has probably acquired a philosophical attitude. Anna intends to go to R. I. C. E., and then she will probably become a teacher. We are sure that it will be no hardship for the pupils who study under her because of her amiable disposition. i EDWARD GROSSMAN Baseball, CZ, 3, 45, Captain, Football, QZ, 3, 4Dg Basketball, C3, 4D. Enter Eddie,-but he doesn't need an introduction, as he has made so many friends during his stay at Classical, through his ability to cheer up the most despondent of us. This past fall he played on the football team, being one of the snappiest fullbacks in the state. Can you beat it? It will be a sorry day for Classical when Eddie leaves but we may feel honored some day to read that Eddie is an All American selection and to know that he started at Classical. MARY PATRICIA HACKETT R. I. C. E. Mary is another of our popular students. She always does away with melancholy and brightens up the whole room with her ready smile. She seems to scatter sunshine and wash away all your blues. She attends all the school aiiairs, and there her smile seems more prominent than ever. Although she may be busy, she often has time to stop and talk with you or to help you in any lesson that you wish. She is planning to be a Nschoolf mann. You may he sure that she will prove to be an excellent instructor and will certainly endear the children to her by that everfpresent smile. Let us hope that she may be able to smile her way through life in this way. THOMAS JAMES HAMILTON Photograph Committee, C41 PROVIDENCE COLLEGE Here we have one of the charter' members of the renowned uchivalrous chiselersf' No matter en we look at him, Tommy always has that aimable smile upon 1 fa . He s ixious to help other people that he is continually g ti' g i to o r. Many of lLH2l11llSl1 study periods are involuntarily iven the study and application of the famous Gregorian Principle. henever Tom comes in without a very good knowledge of his lessons, you can be sure that he has been out with some of the fair sex in his Ford de luxe. sQfoiifQ5iW El THE CADUCEUS ROSE PATRICIA HANLEY Photograph Committee, Voici Roseg wit, sweetness, lovability, and goodfnature are some of her qualities. Tall and slender, the type that every girl envies, with blond hair and blue eyes and a smile for each and all, Rose can always be found with her pals, Alice and Kay, laughing over some new joke or telling one in turn. Rose claims that Physiography is her Hivorite subject and by her accurate barometer readings we expect to see her sitting on the Turk's Head building, predicting the weather at some future date. She's that type! BENJAMIN RAMACE HARRIMAN Swimming, DARTMOUTH Ben is the modern Noah-we all know Ark. It has done its share in conveying supporters to the at ic undertakings of dear old Classical. Ben's popularity and s ia a ities can easily be seen at stu' dent dances and socials. With a l smile, and an unheard of ability in algebra, as well as in other su jects, Ben has won the friendship and admiration of students 1 d fa y alike. He is also a great master of the ivories, but maybe i ' ulness that has prevented proof of it in our halls. Ben has alre' ti en to wearing green for his future Alma Mater. ESTHER REBECCA HARRIS Glee Club, C3, 41. RHODE ISLAND HosP1TAL Esther is little, has dark hair, and blue eyes. My, what a delightful combination! That is what you will think when you see her. She always has a joke ready to spring when things begin to get rather dull. She also has a contagious giggle which, when it is heard, sets you laughing too. She has to come all the way from North Providence but she is always on time, no matter what may happen. Although she is small, we know she will make a good nurse. She always has a pleasant smile which will be an invaluable asset when she has fulfilled her desires. WALTER DOUGLAS HARRIS Track, C1, 2, 315 Cross Country, C115 Debating Team, C315 Editorfir1fCl1ief, Caduceus Board, C415 German Play, C41. BROWN Walter's favorite pastime is getting A reports, his favorite vocation, it seems, lies in the political field. For the former he has been rewarded with a Summa Cum Laude, as for the latter, his career has been rather complicated. Two years ago, he startled Mr. Ward, our renowned Physicist, by his extraordinary ability in selling batteries. Last year he entered the debating society, where he earned a position on the team. This year his argumentative essays and political discussions have been regular features of Miss Day's English classes. He has climaxed his brilliant career at Classical by becoming EditorfinfChief of this very Caduceus. Now, folks, we're going to let you in on a secret. Walter, in spite of his remarkable political ability, intends to become a gentle, benevolent physician. QfSsQ f3ilTQPzfii2 sQ'QfWQfiWl THE CADUCEUS PAUL PRESTON HASLEHURST Basketball, C3, 4jg Social Committee, C105 President Athletic Association, Q4j. WEST POINT This handsome lad with the shock of blond, curly hair has a habit of giving his best toward the accomplishment of whatever he undertakes. Four years of concentrated effort have gained him the coveted Summa Cum Laude. Paul is not a grindg in fact, his success can be attributed directly to a keen insight and a remarkable memory. The past two years have seen him on the basketball court, fighting with relentless zeal for dear old Classical. West Point will certainly profit by taking our Paulie, for his versatility, capability and geniality have moulded him into a fine example of American youth. DAVID HASSENFELD Orchestra, C3, 455 German Club, f4J. BROWN We know that this dark haired youth will one day be electrifying audiences with concordant airs of music. There are many line violinists in our school orchestra, but not all of them are as good as our David. A good student as well as a musician, he has achieved especial success in his study of German. David will overcome all gigantic difhculties that he may meet in his future, for it is impossible for so rare a combination of I musician and student to miss his mark. DORIS MAE HAYNES Orchestra, fl, ZJ. PEMBROKE 8:29 and onefhalf. Is she here? No. A faint tapping may be heard d n the corridor mi t bustlin n se the morning rush. 8:29 an even i hs.

Some attribute this delay to her inordinate fondness for Classical. Dot is always ready to give assistance to those who have floundered in the depths of geometry. Next year we expect to see her chugging up the Hill to Pembroke in her trusty little Ford. Here's hoping she doesn't get any yellow tickets for speeding to early classes. PRUDENCE CAMILLE AMPHETRITE HIGGINS Basketball, HOWARD UNIVERSITY During her stay at Classical. Higgie's wit and humor have amused many classes. Several interesting books were written, by Higgie Es? Co., which were the cause of a serious uprising. Next year Prudence will attend Howard University at Washington. She is l10t sure what her special work is to be, but whatever it is, the class gives her its heartiest wishes for health, wealth and happiness. i!iX3 jxiB? ji EsQ Q2fQ3iNfs??z7v5S2l THE CADUCEUS GAGE HOTALING Basketball, 445. Now here's a lad who does big things in a quiet way. In outward appearance he is a calm, stately pers n. In realityfhe is a real funfloving fellow who loves to help car ui Iayfffl pranks. Truly his seat in Room 6 was one of grea te h such Kings of Mirth as Ray and Geary near him. But gehfas a marvelous imagination, and what somef tim eems t tfigztea 'downright foolishness is nothing but one of Ga 1Qsi111e?hts bein carried out. Behind Gage have lined up a troop of ' ers, exponents of his popular theories which have made him equally popular. ISABEL GERTRUDE HUGHES PRATT INSTITUTE Tall, blonde, and blue eyes. Doesnlt that sound inviting? Isabel has a faculty for making friends and keeping them. Everybody who be' comes acquainted with her is easily won over to affection for her because of her pleasing manner. Isabel also is reputed to be a very line dancer. Anyone who has seen her will agree with us. On the floor, too, she seems to make many friends. Whenever she goes by the stagfline, someone is sure to go in and tap her. Isabel says that she is going to Pratt Institute. When she goes, she will leave many who love her. STEPHEN DICHRAN JUNDANIAN Baseball, Q3, 4j. R. I. STATE COLLEGE This darkfhaired young gentleman has.,succ ss ully passed through this School of Difficulties.

If you would learn how to read rhytbmically V' sf ious verse ask him for he has mastered this difficult art ir , . Ongiay Rhode Island College will send him forth as a chemical engineer. WILLIAM THEODORE KANELOS Football, CZ, 3, 45, Captain, C415 Wrestling, C3, 4D, City Champion, Q32 Baseball, fl, 4Jg Track, Cl, Zj. K My Bill has ever been during his Classical career a v itable staff of life, always being supernaturally able to carry t pigs ' through or to send a baseball flying beyond the limits of all e tat' . Since he is not one to boast of his abilities, we very seldom? Kanelos, and when we do he is usually handing the praises to s m ne lse. We expect to hear much of Bill's success in his future cat'o1 . Y , 62 Qfii?SQfiNs5?wafSf sJJQifii2l THE CADUCEUS ADELAIDE MARY KEATING R. I. C. E. Adelaide seems rather prim and shy until you know her. She is not so bashful or prim as you may think, for she enters into all our pranks with as much spirit as the rest of us. She is always ready to laugh at our jokes and comes out to the senior socials, participating in them with a zeal which surprises you. One of her favorite subjects is history. Any time when a very perplexing question is asked, Adelaide raises her hand and answers correctly. She is also good in French. She volunteers to answer questions in French many times. She is going to be a school teacher. RITA MARGARET KELLY Volley Ball, CD5 Hockey, C41 Rita is one of our jolliest classmates, with a most infectious laugh. She is always the one to see before school if you are feeling blue, for that laugh would make Zeus himself smile. Rita always knows her lessons. but never seems to study over much. She is always willing to help out when a bit of music needs to be called forth from the piano. She's popular, as can easily be proved by a bit of observation. She is still uncertain about her future, but we know her sunny nature and disposition, as well as her laugh, will carry her safely through and on. VIRGINIA BARLOW KEMPTON VicefP'resident, C315 Senior Play, C4jg Swimming, CD5 Photograph Committee, C4jg Tennis, Cl, Z, 31 Virginia is one of the fortunate members of the class who were chosen to act in the senior play, in which she gave a very finished performance. Her tastes are more literary than mathematicalg but when she and her best friend, Ethel, are together, both mathematics and literature are ably repref sented. Virginia is very popular with her classmates, as various positions to which she has been elected indicate. Although Virginia does l1Ot appear very robust, she manages to accomplish a multitude of duties which would seem too many for the majority of her fellow students. With such ambif tion she is bound to succeed. VERNON FRANKLIN KENYON Vernon is one of the most prominent students of the class of '31. He can justly claim to be the tallest boy, but that's not all. Vernon is undoubtedly one of the few boys who have become widely popular without being football stars. He likes to carry home piles of books, and perhaps that accounts for his startling knowledge. Down at lunch Vernie and a few others are constantly frolicking with chairs, and give Mr. Hawkins many a moment of unrest. Upstairs, Vernon becomes as peaceful as a lamb and a real student of the classics. When he departs from our exalted halls, to win undying fame, everyone will be mournful, including the next senior to occupy his seat. f'iW i THE CADUCEUS BEATRICE KLEMER Ha! Hal The cel ti sileilde of Room 6 is again broken by sounds PE BROKE of hearty laught 'T Xhoig inf this outbreak looks scarcely capable of it in one of her r s m , although her big, brown, winsome eyes certainly do cont ' gl 'gf ischief if one looks more closely. Beatrice certainly m dm brighten up our four years here with her pleasing p ity an 'her excellent work as an honor student. We have heard a from relia le sources that she is above the average in dancing. She intends to continue her good work at Pembroke. May fortune treat you kindly, Bee. s Bob is a quiet yo 1 chap, who a owever, appreciate a good joke, if there is one t e a reciated. p sues his studies seriously, but he is known to ind amus n 1 rom ne to time. He has been wear' ing a lovely pe en that h aroused the suspicions of his classmates as to e owne aid piece of finery.

The teacher, too, sits up, hearkening to weird, awful moans coming from a certain well' known section of Room 6. The teacher comes up the aisle, seeking the source of the curious sounds and all she sees are the innocent countenances of several zealously studying lads, the most prominent of whom is Ray. This boy certainly is mischievous and can concoct pranks that would make any teacher's hair gray. But he is a popular boy and beneath the surface of his jocularity is a strain of seriousness and a determination to make good. Ray is an exquisite dancer and quite a yodeler, as may be seen from his Glee Club diploma He intends to study dentistry at Tufts. So when you have a toothache in the future, don't go to any Doctor Yankumg go to Dr. Lapolla. FRIEDA LISKER German Club, f4jg Volley Ball, Cl, Z, Jjg Basketball, fl, 2, 3, 415 Hockey, CZ, 315 Baseball, Cl, Zjg Tennis, fl, 2, 3, 41. WELLESLEY COLLEGE. Is that Frieda? you ask, in astonishment. No wonder, because you're so used to seeing her with a happy smile on her face. And what a difference that grin makes! We are indebted to Frieda's joyous disposition and original sense of humor for more laughs than are justly to be expected from one person. Mr. Ward's joke book has also been replenished by several of her innocent remarks. Her neverfsayfdie spirit has inspired the girls' teams at many a crucial moment. Never was there such a team' mate and waterfboy in the history of the Purple and White! If that spirit and that smile don't win great things for you in this world of ours, Frieda, we'l1 just have to admit, There ain't no justice. ' Q Tl THE CADUCEUS MARGARET DOLORES LOVETT Gift Committee, C41 R. I. C. E. Wheel Don't worry, folks, that streak of color is only Peg, making record time from Room 4 to the lunch counter! And it's seldom C?j that she's caught. But this is only one of her accomplishments. She is equally proficient in sports, studies, dancing and making friends. Her favorite sport is horsebackfriding, in which she excels'-as most of us know. Her sojourn at Classical has been a joyful experience, and we know that, with those blue eyes and that smile, and with all that Wim, wigor and witality, she will be an immediate success at R. I. C. E. DOROTHEA LYMAN Caduceus Board, MouN'r Hotroiciz You see here an estimable young ladyf -dependable, thorough, busif nessflike. When she puts on her goggles and hides behind a book, she looks such a perfect student that it's mostf alarming when a gleeful giggle suddenly smites the cold atmosphere of Room 6. Sometimes we don't know what it's all about, but Dot is not selfish with her jokes, and has livened many a lengthy moment for us. In spite of her Summa Cum Laude pin, Dot is just a jolly live wire, whose sense of humor hasn't al' lowed us a single glimpse of that proverbial redfhead temper. JAMES DUNCAN HARRISON MACDONALD Social Committee, Gly German Club, Q42 Business Manager of the Caduceus, Q41 To Mac the graduating class unanimously presents a vote of thanks for the great services he has rendered to us in the role of business manager of the Caduceus. He has made a success of every phase of his activities at Classical. As a member of the social committee he was a whizfbang! He literally put life into that hunch. But Mac is that way, he puts his heart and soul into everything he undertakes, no matter how slight it may be, and makes it a roaring success. Wheiu he leaves, life at Classical will again become an everyday affair and some higher institution of learning will receive this clever business man. DOROTHY MAY MAC QUARRIE BRYANT Es? STRATTONQS Dorothy is a very demure young lady with an engaging smile. It has always been a matter of considerable speculation to us as to why so many girls whom we would imagine were fond of poetry seem to be so fond of mathematics. Dorothy is one of that class. She intends to make bookkeeping her profession. Yet she Ends pleasure in the lighter recreaf tions of life, especially dancing. Basketball is her favorite sport. She intends to go to Bryant E99 Stratton's and we have no doubt that she will be very efficient in her chosen profession. 5EXLi ssa5?Jf'QffiNfySi ySl THE CADUCEUS ORLANDO MALVETO German Play, C3, 4Dg Senior Play, Mal tells us that as a tot he had the ambition to do one of three things: to become a cowboy, to be hailed as a second Babe Ruth, or to go through a big school like Classical. Later on he tried and saw the folly of the first two. But he wasn't sidetracked from the third. has completed a really successful career at Classical. He has exhibited a wonderful dramatic ability which has gained for him hosts of friends, among both the faculty and his classmates. It won't be in a short while that we'll forget a chap like our own Mal, whom we sincerely call our chum. Take a good deep breath and then go on and win a place in the race of life, i'Mal, old boy. WILLIAM JAMES MANCHESTER Football, C41 BROWN Bill s proficiency in football is well know , as is his prohciency in knowing those few words t t fail ever one ' emistry. He fought as a true crusader ou di n o e on .of the Purple and White. ki n a l as 3, big, mellowfvoiced, affectionate fellow, the ill am a ador' 'froih North Providence. Most of us are held in ause we are too noisy, but not so with Bill. Miss Day is continually urging him toshoutmore loudly. All we can say is, Beware, for Bill is a proud possessor of a bass voice. Classical's reputation will be in good hands when he goes to Brown. AUSTIN WILLIAM MCCABE Class Treasurer, CD5 Senior Play, Q05 Football, Manager, C42 Social Committee, BROWN Among the members of our social committee, we have here one who has done much towards helping our class. A student of Room 5, he is liked by all who know him and is willing to aid others when he can. He has shown to perfection his dramatic ability in our Senior Play, taking the role of Nick. However, he finds plenty of time for his demands as a pupil of Classical. May your future days see you well on the high roads to merited success and happiness. JOHN EDWARD MCGLINCHEY Manager, Basketball, MD. BROWN From the little insignificant L'Allegro of four years ago has emerged the serene, contem lative Il Penseroso of tofday. He has risen to great heights, both in t al t. and in the concrete. His marks were good enough to put hi n the scholarship division, a class reserved for those who not only have a ' 'ty but ow how to cultivate and exercise their potential capabilities -w a ade of efficiency. For his commanding self' posses' all ti he will always be remembered. With his tall, dignified, atum ' l be Lincoln's, his placid modesty like Cal Coolidge's, we're expecting johns ' h his engineering aspirations to become a Herb Hoover. fiW QQ fiiiri 935333555 THE CADUCEUS GERTRUDE ELIZABETH MCIVER Tennis, C1415 Basketball, CMD, Captain, C315 Swimming, C2'3Dg Volley Ball, CD5 Hockey, CSX VicefPresident, f4jg Senior Playg German Play, C4jg Caduceus Board, 141. WELLESLBY With her ready smile and unfailing help, Gert has won the reputation of being everybody's friend. At 8:27 eager eyes look toward the door of Room 6, and soon she comes nonchalantly in. From the long list above, we can easily see that Gert is one of Classical's best sportswomen. She is mistress of the ivories as well, and delights in entertaining others by her talent. Her success in dramatics was portrayed to us through the German and Senior plays. With all that, she has won the coveted gold key of Summa Cum Laude. WILLIAM HENRY MCLAUGHLIN, -IR. Debating, QQ, President Debating Society, DARTMOUTH This darkfhaired young man is Bill, the artist of our class. He prefers to be sketching on his pad rather than to be studying Homer. Debating is another of his weaknesses. We hear that he is a good piano player. His wanton wiles are famous throughout our school, and he is one of Miss Gregory's special cares. He says he wants to get all the fun he can out of life. William intends to continue his career at Dartmouth. PAULINE GLADYS MELLER Bang! Oh! Don't be alarmed, friends, it is not Chicago but just a desk cover which has dropped in Room 5. The involuntary cry has come from a dark young lady, who has been rudely interrupted by this disturbing noise while doing her studying, in which she seems to be very deeply engrossed. She is none other than our vivacious, everfcheerful Pauline. She is probably busy with either French or German, for we hear she intends to become a foreign correspondent for a business concern. We all wish you luck, Pauline, and we are sure you will be a success in that very absorbing occupation. ROSE HELEN MENDE Glee Club, Cl, 2, 3, 4Jg German Club, Q05 Baseball, CZD. BosroN UNIVERSITY And here's Rose, another of our number whose name will one day reflect glory upon old Classical. Active in all phases of school life, her good sportsmanship has been shown by her vociferous support of our teams, her attendance at all socials, and her many timely rescues of friends caught in the throes of Virgil or math. The marvelous sounds Rose contrives to bring forth from the elastic around her lunch are surpassed only by the tones which her nimble lingers draw from the piano keys. Boston University is going to train her talent, and then Rosie will start to make that famous name for herself.

From the above list of accomplishments. it would seem that Steve is a very popular young man. Yeah! Indeed, ask any member of the weaker sex. Her answer would be He gives a new thrill. The famous dance orchestra had Steve at its piano. Our social dances would not seem sucf cessful without him at the ivories. He might well be called the perpetual grinnerf' for next to Bob Carroll, he holds the record. Steve has chosen the musical profession, and intends to pursue it extensively. CHARLES FRANCIS MOSS Track, C3, 415 Swimming, C3, 415 Senior Play, i415 Supper Committee, Q41. BROWN Full of humor and vitality are words which describe Charlie very well. All of those who saw him as Uncle Jothamu in the Senior Play will assure you of his aptitude in dramatics, for he certainly took the role of the crabby old man to perfection. He is skilled in other lines as well, in athletics particularly. He was a great addition to the swimming and track teams. Sessions in the corridor are always attended by Charlie, who is one of the ring leaders in any undertaking. Next year Brown will be enriched by the presence of this personality. GUSTAVO ALFRED MOTTA Hockey, Q41g Track, Cl, 2, 315 Orchestra, Cl, 2, 3, 415 Football, C3, 415 Fencing, CZ, 315 French Club Committee, Gus's athletic career has been one outstanding in the history of Classical, yet he is, by no means, one of these modern athletes whose scholastic standing is nihil, for he has good reports. Gus has a char' acteristically unique way of appearing from nowhere. One may be walking peacefully along in the corridor and Bingo, there's Gus. However this deviation from the strait and narrow path does not prevent him from being popular.

Teachers blame her for detaining young men in the corridor. Her charming countenance is responsible for her being one of the most popular girls in the Senior Class. R. I. C.

He has conf tinued his success in Miss Gregory's class. Being one of the chiselers, he is always ready to help out any one in trouble. Herb is one of the very few who have achieved success in theme writing. After he has attended Providence College and Columbia, we expect to hear of him as a famous newspaper editor. CARMELA MUSCO BosroN UNIVERSITY Carmela seems to have a rather quiet disposition as a rule, but she is an entertaining and pleasant companion to those who are acquainted with her. She is always ready and willi aid her w students, if they crave assistance, a ft-mit which c nts muc ' building of friendship. We have heard th. she is ii t r te in s me sort of reform, if we may judge by a them ' . as written, yet we have not ascertained the exact nature of is project. Possibly it pertained to the introduction of furf lined earmuffs into the Fiji Islands, or a similar subject. Boston University will be the scene of Carmela's future efforts. WILLIAM JOSEPH NOON, JR.

Then some slick captain persuaded him to go out for the soccer team. He was actually surprised at his own ability. That year the soccer eleven took a new lease on life, and Charlie had no small part in bringing about this change. The next fall saw a greatly changed Charles, out for bigger and better things,Win other words, the football eleven. He made good, and was a rugged tower of strength for Classical. During this meteoric rise he has become as popular as anyone can afford to be. Charles acts like a true modest hero and the many laurels he has gathered have not given him a case of the caput inflatumf' He has decided to go to Bates to round out his educationg so we'll be looking for big doings from that sec- tion.

You know all those nice sayings about little peoplefthey all ht our midget. As the gypsy 'lead in the Senior Play, she won a reputation as an actress. Her ability as a violinist won her the honor of being concertfmistress of the orchestra.

Down in one corner you can rind him discussing the latest models of Buick, Cord, etc. If he is wanted at any time he can be found in the Chemistry laboratory investigating Avagodids Hypothesis, or what not. Physics also he likes pro tempore, and English attracts his attention too, as is shown in his essays. His favorite pastime, however, is entertaining the class with his clever witticisms. He excels admirably in this. Brown University will claim another of ML Peck's sons when Classical says good bye. THE CADUCEUS THEODORE PEISACH R. I. STATE Why worry? seems to be Teddy's philosophy at all times. His ability to enter a class with a perfectly serene exterior, although quite unprepared, has always been a cause for admiration among his friends. Through natural cleverness and genius, he has acquired a fine record in all his studies, an achievement which few have attained by continual grinding. During particularly dull classes Teddy can always be depended on to pref sent something unusual in the way of recitations to evoke a little mirth and to relieve the monotony. It's fellows like him that make it worth while to go to school, and prevent one from taking the whole business too seriously. OLIVE ALICEMARIE PEREIRA French Club Play, f4Dg Glee Club, CZ, 41 R. I. C. E. Olive's melodious voice has rung out in the Glee Club for two years. You may be sure that she has sung very well in the club. Olive proved herself a good actress in the French play, where she portrayed well the role of a very dumb French maid. Although she acted dumb, she is not at all so in real life. She is a good student, especially in French. She often has something diiferent to add to the recitations of others. Olive is also good in English. In fact, it must be a treat to Miss Day to read themes which are nearly perfect in technique. Olive will make an ideal teacher if she keeps up the good work. EMILY ANNA PICERNE Tennis, Cl, Z, 3, 4jg Swimming, CZ, 3, 41 Good things come in small packages is certainly true in Emily's case! This young lady with the sunny smile and large brown eyes has gained for herself a bevy of friends during her stay at Classical. A giggle in class can usually be traced to Em, since under her calm exterior lies a spirit of fun l1Ot to be downed by such dull things as history, mathef matics, etc. She is very fond of dancing, and no student dance is complete without her presence. We can be sure that Emily's future will be a happy and successful one, and lucky will be the pupils who have as a teach' er our lovable Emi NATHAN PRITCHER German Play, If you should ever desire to know what the wellfdressed man is wearing or what new creations in men's dress have come out, we would ask you to step into Room 5 and look about for a handsome young man with his hair neatly parted and slicked down. You would have no trouble locating Nathan. Besides being immaculate about his dress and a close friend of Hymie, he is also particular about his lessons. Nathan showed in the German Play that he can gargle German with the best of them. His other studies are equally well polished up and he will make a big scoop in college, we are very sure.

ANNAPOLIS When Rube packs his bags and leavesxkfor Annapolis, Classical may justly mourn for the loss of one of h r most gallant sons of battle. Regardless of whether he is on thk di' on ' iron, or basketball court, Rube is always in there with his ing efforts. We have never seen him angry or cross. His beamii d nature and unfailing sense of humor have won for him armies of wellfwishing friends, both male and female. He firmly believes that some studying each day keeps the flunkf marks away, and if he continues in Annapolis with the same policy we can see nothing but smooth sailing weather for success for him.

We find it in Ruth with her sunny hair, brown eyes, and warm red lips. To har' monize with these the Artist gave her, too, a heart of purest gold.

NICHOLAS ANDREW SHOLA i HARRY SCHLOSSBERG BROWN This dapper young man is famous for his broad, beaming smile and his radiant personality. Harry can boast of many friends that these char' acteristics have won for him during his career in Classical. In the geometry class Harry is a veritable wizard. It seems to us that he can prove almost anything with his rare mathematical mind. We are certain that Harry will win with flying colors in the race of Life.

But inside Lou's barrier of happyfgoflucky wisefcracks there's a man whom most haven't met. A hard worker!

She has a decided leaning toward athletics. It has always been a puzzle to us how she manages to do so much strenuous exerf cise without fatigue. Sylvia has the knack of speaking French as it should be spoken. How many times we have envied her this! She has not yet decided what she intends to do, but we venture to guess she is going to be a gymnastic teacher. FLORENCE MARGARET SLATTERY ANTONIO SILVESTRI Soccer, Cl, 2, 3, 455 German Play, Q42 Cacluceus Board, BROWN We are proud to introduce Antonio to the world. All his merits cannot be enumerated in this brief space. He's a musician. Science and mathematics have held no terrors for him. He is famous for his remarkable knowledge of Latin, the language of his Roman ancestors. Every day he surprises us with his fine French and German. All diihcult problems that baffle us are duly brought to him to be solved, for he is the true philosopher. Because of his merit, Silvestri has won membership to the Cum Laude Society. Next year Antonio intends to climb the heights to Brown. There are such hordes of people in this world of ours who love to talk forever and a day, there must be those who listen well. Flossie falls into the latter class, although she is by no means unheard from. Her symf pathetic words and appreciative ear are always missed on those rather frequent days when she does not appear at school. As Flossie is taking a hvefyear course, we are leaving a worthy representative of the class of '31 as an example for the lowlier classes to follow.

She has much talent in that line, She draws your castles with her pen if you ask her. She dances well, too. Many good reports have been heard about this. She may not have entered into school athletics, but she has attended many school afkiirs and proved the reports are true. Sally has not decided about her college. She says she may go to Columbia.

Gus intends to wander up and down the steep highways that lead to Brown and to Success. FRANCIS TOURTELLOT German Play, f4lg Cacluceus Board, BROWN Buzz, buzz! Such is the noise heard coming from a group of students encircling some object that is whispering into their ears words of worldly wisdom. They are enthralled. Rrrrring! A dismal groan arises as the group slowly and reluctantly breaks up. The center of attraction proves to be none other than the wellfknown Francis. He seems to be a wizard at everything, to know things he is not supposed to know. Francis is a deepfsighted chap who can see through the surface of things. He is a lover of Nature and a clever linguist. He intends to go to Brown to further his studies and later to become a teacher. Those who know him have no doubts about his success, for he has the right stuff in him. GENO VERDI President of French Club, Soccer, CZX Baseball, flj. BROWN Meet the president of the French Club. But he doesn't need to be formally introduced, as every member of the senior class is well acquainted with his especially superior way of speaking French. His prowess is not confined to speaking French, for he is equally clever in being friendly: especially with the young women, mind you. His favorite pastime is promenading through the prisonflike halls of this house of learning. Yet this is not a drawback to his character for he spreads sunshine around. Perhaps some day after going through college we will find him back here teaching French. ESTHER ALBERTINA VINING Hockey, Cl, 2, 315 Basketball, CD5 Volley Ball, Cljg Baseball, C3jg German Play, Grass Esther is one of the most genial girls in our class with her quick smile and ready sympathy. She always enters into everything with a willingf ness and goodfsportsmanship that are admirable. During her four years at Classical she has done much in athletics, particularly baseball and hockey. There is never a dull moment when this little lady is around, for she brightens up everything with her vivacity and good nature. It isn't hard to guess Esther's favorite men's college, so we won't embarrass her by asking. Next year she will attend the Gibbs Secretarial School where, we trust, she will be as much appreciated as she has been here. Qiy i a'SQ-Jain! THE CADUCEUS FRANCES MARION WALLS PEMBROKE Frances seems like a quiet and shy little girl until you know her. She is willing at all times to give all the help that anyone needs. She always says that she will be a geometry teacher when she finishes high school. That is one of Frances's jokes. She is another of our commuters. She comes every morning on the bus from North Scituate. That accounts for her not entering into school activities. She is very conscientious in her school' work. She always does her best. French is her favorite subject. She prefers French translation to almost anything else. BROWN ISRAEL WEISMAN Tennis, C405 Soccer, C42 Basketball, f4Dg Gift Committee 4 Somehow or other Israel has become known to his fellow students as Iggy, His perpetual smile, his eifervescent wit, and his excellent scholarship have won him numerous friends. Israel is one of the best students of Greek in our class, and never do we get a curious translation of Virgil from him. An occupant of one of the back seats in the English Class, he answers calmly and easily all the difficult questions about Shake- speare, Milton and Burke. Oh, well, he's good in everythingfa philos' opher in the literal sense of the word. What a loss for Classical when Israel graduates, and what a gain for Brown!

'LDellie may be seen at all times with her inseparable pal, Peggy Athletics of every description interests Ardell, and Classical is very grateful for the goals this speedy center made for the hockey team and her many points in basketball games. Sports do not restrain her social ac' tivities, for she may be seen at the student dances never lacking a partner. Many welcoming smiles will greet you at college, Dellie, like the happy ones that wish you success from Classical. DUDLEY ALDRICH M. I. T. WILLIAMS Orchestra, KZ, 315 Senior Play, 00. 2.46, We had heard of people who got 100 on physics and algebra exams, but we never expected to meet one. Here he is, however, and not so very strange after all, despite the fact that he positively flourishes in an atmof sphere of hopelessly intricate problems. This peculiar weakness does not hinder his being wellfliked, for he is friendly and sociable. His portrayal of the extremely righteous farmer in the Senior Play was so convincing that we have been looking him over for tellftale wisps of straw ever since. We never thought Dudley would be so discourteous as to even imagine that the lamented Mandy went below, Ladies never go there. In the near future we expect to hear of a breathftaking theory which he will launch upon the startled world. Be sure you understand it yourself, Kameradg then let the works loose.

A Discussion Around A Camp Fire Julia Marlowe Brady It was an odd trio which had assembled around the water hole known as Last Mile. There was a scientist, stooped with constant peering and searching for what he hoped to find, and yet not quite certain of what he was seeking: the ex' minister who looked out upon the world with benevolence shining in his eyes: and the prospector, shriveled up from exposure to wind and sun like a gnarled old pine on a windfswept crag. With the camaraderie which is characteristic of wanf derers they soon disposed of their meager Hire and stretched out around the smouldering campffire. The scientist was the first to break the silence with the words, This might well be called the place that God forgot. I have never seen such a desolate place. Wal, I dunno much aboot God in a church goin' way, but I reckon God's here as much as heis any' where. This surprising statement drew the at' tention of both the former minister and the scientist more closely to the withered up goldf seeker. Then he went on, speaking more to him' self than his companions, I've been on this desert more'n twenty years, and every day I came to feel God was near me more and more. When I just left home, gold was more my God than anything, but I found God instead of gold, and I reckon 1'm satisfied. You are most fortunate to be able to say you have found God, said the scientist. 'LWhen I was a young chap, I never gave much thought to ref ligion. Even now I cannot say I believe in God as He is generally concepted. My religion is science, but as I delve into Nature's secret store, I feel that there is a Great Power governing the uni' verse. The scientist ceased speaking long enough to throw a piece of brushfwood on the fire. Then he turned to the pastor. I suppose you think we sinners need conversion, he said with a wry smile. L'No, I do not, answered the former minister. You may be surprised to hear it, but I am no longer a representative of the church. It's been some time since I ascended the pulpit to preach the gospel. Why I am no longer a minister is this: the very people to whom I preached mercy and forgiveness were the first to accuse me because I practised what I preached. We cannot all believe the same teachings but, to me, love for one's fellowmen and forgiveness are enough. Each one was silent thinking of what had been said, and nothing broke the stillness but the cry of a lone coyote on the plain. ff., W 54 4 , 1 if- klffj kqzg fgv N P A- Q . I, .ara V .

The mothers are undoubtedly correct if they are thinking of the dime novel type, such as Nick Carter's stories. In this kind of book, there is at least one murder in every chapter. A good mystery story, however, can do no harm to anyone and may do them some good, for the right kind affords interesting reading and offers opportunity for the reader to do some thinking. In the Knickerbocker Collection of Short Stories, there is one called Miss Hinchf' which is my idea of an ideal mystery story. The author does not open his story with a bloody murder, but he informs the reader that a murder has been comf mitted. He then sets to work on the solution. In the course of his story, he does not describe any thrilling gun battles, but merely gives the details of a battle of wits between a master criminal and a master detective. Perhaps you think that this would make boresome reading. On the conf trary, it keeps the reader wide awake to see what the next move will be and who will make it. Greek and Algebra are studied in high schools because these subjects train the mind and make pupils think. Neither of them, however, have afforded me more thinking than this short mystery story of ten pages. First I thought one was the guilty person, then another, but I was unable to hx my mind on any one of them for certain. On the next to the last page, I was informed by the author that one of the characters whom I had suspected in the first place was guilty. I began to think that it was impossible to fool me, but my selffsatisfaction came too soon, for I had not read the last page. There, the story seemed to go off on another tack, and I found that the murderer was the one whom I thought was the only character who couldn't possibly be guilty. The story is like a chain in the way that it is woven together. Each incident, no matter how trifling, forms a link without which the tale would not be complete. Each event leads up to the next and gives a clue to what is going to follow. It is not one exaggeration after another, in which the hero performs superhuman stunts that would do credit to Hercules. In fact, it has a very touching ending and is, on the whole, a very plausible story. Since reading Miss I'Iinch, I have come to the conclusion that if a mystery story does not start off with a cruel murder, if it is not an account of one gun battle after another from which the hero always emerges on top, if the incidents link up closely with each other, if it gives the reader a chance to think, and if it fools him in the end, it is an ideal mystery story. 1 . ff J ' A ,V ,MQ f 5 :5 ..

Friedel's Christmas Eve On the Monday afternoon before Christmas every nook and cranny of the Lecture Room was occupied by enthusiastic spectators of the German Club's presentation of Friedel's Christmas Eve. The consensus of opinion, among faculty and students alike, was that this German play reached the acme of perfection. Orlando Mzilveto, the principal male character, not only lived his own part as Friedel, but made his little horse, Huppf diwupp, act as if it were alive also. Dorothy Richardson with her graceful acting and her line singing portrayed the part of an angel. Having seen Gertrude Mclver take the part of Friedel's mother, we a.re certain that she would make a splendid one later on, so natural was her representaf tion of the part. The street ruffians, Albert Farwell, Antonio Sylvestri, and Joseph Cyckevich, with their street brawl, added a touch of humor to the performance. Irving Smith was a regular copper. Tourtellot's representation of a heartless merchant and Bubier's of a dignified gentleman were exceptionally true to life. Of the others, every one acted his part perfectly. Miss Vining, Miss Coone, Miss Bennett and Harris were Christmas shoppers. Upper, as Hans, and Pritcher, a boy, completed the Cast. The stage managers were Driscoll, Forman, Macdonald and Sweet. A trio furnished the music, it included Miss Parker, Miss Goldenberg and Hassenfeld. fS 'ii5lJ5'Ti2 fSi 6iW' THE CADUCEUS 43 Social Activities THE FRENCH CLUB PLAY On Wediiesdzry, the twentyiifth of February, the French Club presented the play entitled Rosalie Miss O'Neil played the role of Madame Bol, who is trying to appear as a great lady. Mr. Brodsky took the part of Monsieur Bol, who is attempting to entertain as a gentleman. Miss Pereira portrayed Rosalie, the stupid maid. She almost ruins their plan of pretending to be fine people, by refusing to answer the doorbell. After a heated discussion, a raise in salary and many apologies from her employers, she consents. Wheii she finally goes to the door, she finds that someone has rung the wrong doorbell. The play was entertaining and there were no dull moments. ACTIVITIES OF THE FRENCH CLUB The first meeting of the French Club was given over to the election of ofiicers and of a social comf mittee, with the following results. Geno Verdi, presidentg Harriette O'Neil, secretary, members of the social committee, Katherine Mullaney, Robert Carroll and Gus Motta. During the school year the club has done many interesting things, although it has met only every other Wediiesday. French games have been played and French musicales given- thanks to the local talent. Miss Elizabeth O'Meara from Pembroke, a graduate of Classical, who spent her junior year of college at the Sorbonne, gave a talk at one of the meetings on her sojourn there. Again, Mrs. Adeline Thompson, a French girl, who married an American soldier, was kind enough to lecture to us on the condition of France during the war. The play which the French Club gave is men' tioned elsewhere. Many thanks are due the French teachers for their patience and work in making this a success. The Christmas meeting was a huge success. After the business had been transacted, we had a bean auction, for which each person had previously contributed a tenfcent article. When the bidding began, M. Verdi presided as auctioneer. Corpora- tions were formed and millions quickly changed hands! The twentyffive beans which had been allotted to each seemed to disappear as if by magic! Anclfthe auctioned articles! Dolls, medicine Cyes, castor oill, canned heat, whistles, rattles and baby games. A suggestion was made that all the suitable gifts be donated to the children's ward at the Rhode Island Hospital. This proposal was carried and at the close four delegates from the French Club took the contributions to the hospital. The Social Committee made the final meeting most enjoyable by reviewing the games of the year and serving ice cream and cake to a very appreciative gathering. At threefthirty the meeting was over, and the French Club of nineteen thirtyfone, which had been under the guidance of Mr. Hawkins, became but a happy memory. 5iW'6bW sa- iii? 44 THE CADUCEUS BOYS' GLEE CLUB It is very hard indeed to awaken interest in any Boys' Glee Club. This seems a pity, since so much inspiration and benefit are to be derived from all music. However, there is every reason for hope. The club now numbers from twenty to thirty boys, who have very good voices for their ages. This year only a few will be affected by graduation. The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs gave a concert in the assembly hall, Friday, April 24. William Robinson was chosen for the National Chorus, which was held this year at Detroit, Michigan. Six boys and six girls were selected from the Glee Clubs to sing in the New England Chorus, which gave a concert at Infantry Hall, May 3, at 3 P. M. They are as follows: Shirley Battey, Elizabeth Slayton, Alice Ventrone, Barbara Fisher, Isabelle Lopez, Belle Strauss, Herbert Gulliver, Harmon jordan, William Robinson, George Driscoll, Nun' Zio Ragno and William Wunsch. Mr. Angell is to be congratulated on his able leadership of the musical activities of this school. Throughout the year he has been ever persevering, helpful and industrious. Miss Katherine Mullaney, our gifted accomf panist, has also done very fine work. The outlook for the coming year seems to point to the biggest, finest Boys' Glee Club this school has ever known. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club of Classical High School has enjoyed another successful year under the able leadership of Walter H. Angell. Two public concerts were given: the first, before a large assembly of teachers of the Rhode Island Institute of Instruction: the second, early in the spring for the school assemblies. In February Barbara Fisher, '32, a member of the Club, attended the National High School Chorus at Detroit, as one of the selected singers from the Providence High Schools, and was chosen as one of the soloists. Twelve voices from the combined Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs sang in the All New England High School Chorus, which gave a notable concert in Infantry Hall, May 2, conducted by Walter H. Butterfield. The success of the Club has been partly due to our eflicient and loyal accompanist, Katherine Mulf laney, '31. DEBATING SOCIETY The Debating Society held its first meeting in October. For the following four months, practice debates were held among the various teams chosen from the members of the society. In March the first team was chosen by the coach, Mr. A. G. Randall, which consisted of Edward Brown, Captain, Santi Paul, Benjamin Shulman and Albert Votolato, alternate. In February the semifannual elections were held, resulting as follows: Benjamin Shulman, President, justin Parvey, VicefPresident: Nunzio Ragno, Secretary, and Williain Scott, Treasurer. A second team was chosen, which consisted of Santi Paul, captain, Albert Votolato and Louis Willemin. They participated in a debate with the Providence Evening High School, in which they were defeated. However, the team of the Evening High School was much older and more experienced than our team. The first team debated the team of the Senior High School in West Warwick. The question debated was Resolved, That the Chain Store System is for the Best Interests of the American People. The Classical team, upholding the negaf tive, was defeated, although according to the judges, a very fine showing was made by both teams, and it was diflicult for them to select the winning team. The seniors of the society, consisting of Edward Brown, Milton Forman, Walter Harris, William McLaughlin, Charles Moss, justin Parvey and Benjamin Shulman, were voted honorary members of the society at its last meeting this spring. The members of the society wish to express their appreciation to Mr. A. G. Randall, coach and adviser of the Debating Team and Society, for the aid which he has given them in the past year. fiwsbofiii '9fb,S2l THE CADUCEUS 45 The Senior Masquerade On the evening of January thirtieth, strange characters were seen in the vicinity of Classical High School. Cooks, valets, maids, Spanish danc- ers, and men in dress suits entered the building. Through the open windows jazz music could be heard. Why? Because it was the night of the Senior Masquerade! Dancing began at eight o'clock. At ten there was a halffhour's intermission, then dancing was resumed until eleven. Among the novelty dances were: a Cinderella Dance and a Kitchen Dance, besides the cus' tomary Paul jones. These were especially enf joyed by everyone. During intermission, flowers were presented to Mrs. Peterson, the dancing teacher, who was present with her husband. The Social Committee then served refreshments. While these were being consumed, Edward Brown and Samuel Bojar staged a fencing match, which was exceedingly interesting to watch. Afterwards the Grand March followed, with Mrs. Frederick E. Hawkins, Mrs. James F. O'Neil and Mrs. Wallace R. Brown Cwife of the famous Pop Brownj acting as judges. Prizes, awarded as follows, were presented by our distinguished principal: Best girl's costume-Pauline Meller. Miss Meller was attired in a gypsy outfit, which was very attractive. Best boy's costume A Richard McDermott. Mr. McDermott was dressed as Miss McDermott! Funniest girl's costume - Helen Cunningham. Miss Cunningham, who doubled us up with laughter at her getfup, was rigged up as a girl of the Gay Nineties. Funniest boy's costume - Benjamin Harriman. Friend Benny arrived in Russian dress. The evening was a great success and at eleven the lights once more blinked in Classical and another Senior Masquerade had been enjoyed. The Senior Prom An event was held at Churchill House, April seventeenth, which was the peak of the social activities with which the graduating class has been concerned. In spite of the weather, which was rainy, the spirit of the affair was undampened. Both the faculty and the student body were ably represented. In justice to the feminine part of the assembly a word or two ought to be said concerning gowns. The young ladies blossomed out in gowns of every hue, and their cut was reminiscent of prefwar times. Punch was served, but nothing in that reminded one of the good old days. The orchestra did good work, due, no doubt, to the fact that its conductor was one of our graduates, who also played the saxophone, while another played the piano. The memory of this prom will linger as a very happy one in the minds of many, who will some day be hardfhearted bankers and studious instructors. The patronesses of the affair were Mrs. Arthur H. Berry, Mrs. Wallace R. Brown, Mrs. Frederick E. Hawkins, Mrs. james F. O'Neil, Mrs. Charles E. Paine, Mrs. J. Herbert Ward, Miss Anne Marjorie Day, Mrs. Harriet P. Fuller, Miss E. Helena Gregory, Miss Harriet M. Hathaway, Miss Elizabeth G. Hoyt, Miss Mary L. Roberts, Miss Alice R. Sheppard and Miss Charlotte A. Wetherell. 46 THE CADUCEUS I AY CAST OF THE SENIOR PL fiWsQQfQf j'Ti3l THE CADUCEUS 47 THE CLASS OF 1931 OF CLASSICAL PRESENTS VVhen's Your Birthday? by Aurania Rouverol Produced by Arrangement with Samuel French of New 'fork THE CAST AS THEY APPEARED MALORY DWIGHT GEORGE A.

George Driscoll, the leading man, gave a most realistic representation of the manly Malory. Dorothy Richardson, with her herbs and sassafras tea, excellently personified Ann Parsons, the village nurse. Gertrude Mclver, as Nabby Nash, was a typical rural New England matron. Someone ..f. ff2 .1 ,. ' , ,1-3' . , f-1 commented that Dudley Williams, taking the part of Tim Gale, took the cake for getting the laughs of the audience. Charles Moss, playing the part of Jotham Nash, certainly pressed Dudley hard for this honor. Miss Florence Parker was uncannily clever as Leonore, the palmist girl who told the past, the present and the future. Malveto's representation of Ben Ali, the magician, made the audience actually shiver with horror when he proceeded to hypnotize Leonore. Austin McCabe, as Nick jameson, Virginia Kempton, as Clary Dwight, and last, but far from the least, Miss Sampson, as Lindy Nash, carried out their roles to perfection. The staff, including managers Willizziii Robinson, Howard Barker, and Alice Ventrone, as well as the electrician, Stephen Miller, deserve much praise for the unusual smooth' ness with which the play was run. Especial credit is due Miss Elizabeth P. Smith for her tireless and painstaking efforts as business manager for the play. Few even realize the tremendous task which this young lady performed successfully to the minutest detail. The class of '31 will never be able to forget, or in any way suitably recompense, the coach, Mr. James F. O'Neil, for his unselfish and ceaseless effort to make this year's play the success that it proved to be. To him, we respectfully dedicate this page.

There was a choice of six subjects. Classical's contestants won three of the six first state prizes. Irving Brodsky, writing on Fertilizers in Agriculture, C. Warren Bubier, on Public Sanitation and Justin J. Parvey, on Chemistry as an Aid to the Home were the three prize winners from our school. Is it not remarkable that any one school, submitting only five essays, should take half the 'first prizes in a statefwide contest? Few realize the vast amount of research work involved in preparing for the actual writing. The latter part, of course, is really a feat in itself. To write a theme on such subjects ranging in length from two thousand to twentyffive hundred words, without misspelling a word or making the minutest mistake, is far from an easy task. We feel that the other two contestants, Benjaf min R. Harriman, writing on Fertilizers in Agriculture, and William J. Manchester, on Is the Use of Poison Gas Justiliable?, also de' serve our heartiest commendation for their per' severance and effort. The three prize winners each receive the sum of twenty dollars, but more than that, their pro' ductions are automatically entered in the national chemistry contest. Should any of the three be fortunate enough to win a first prize in that, he will be given a full fourfyear scholarship at any recognized college or university in the United States. We, their classmates, certainly wish each of the three the best of good fortune in that contest. 31 Riddles of '31 1. The most precious men in the class. 2.

So is our education built up from the morsels and bits of learning gathered through the years of school and from the books which we read. Through eight years of primary and grammar school we arrive finally at the high school age. The following is the story of our feelings concerning our first three years of high school life, September, 1928, came along in all its glory and at the opening of school our group of Freshmen arrived at the sacred doors of Classical High School. Our hearts were hammering in our breasts at the thoughts of becoming High School Students. No longer should we be considered mere children -we were young ladies and gentlemen, worthy of the titles, Miss and Mr. How that did please our youthful vanity! Girls in starched petticoats and ruffled dresses, boys in new shirts and squeaky shoes-all waiting for the word which would admit us to this Earthly Paradise Q????D. Our minds were full of delightful pictures of school life and fun. But the real thing proved quite different and most disappointing to us. The word, study, was uppermost in our minds at the end of the Hrst quarter, when we learned that quarterly exams fthe delight of the studentj had to be taken in each subject. The glamor of school life began to grow dull, for books had to be taken home and lessons studied. At the end of the year many of our youthful classmates dropped out because of the many obstacles placed in their paths by Mr. Latin, his wife, Mrs. Algebra, and their brood of trying little children. After a year of disappointments we welcomed the summer vacation with yelps of joy and the words, Well, High School wasn't what it was said to be. The next September, How wonderful that called Freshies for was a catch to being Physics and Caesar, another language, and 1929, we were Sophomores. name sounded after being a year! As usual, there called Sophs. It meant not to mention English, another year of hard work in difhcult Algebra. No longer did we hurry to our rooms as the 8:10 bell rang. My goodness, no! We strolled into our rooms unconcernedly at 8:27, 8:28, 8:29 or sometimes even later. The exams again came and with them the loss of more stu' dents and the arrival of our welcome, though not so welcome as at the end of the first year, summer vacation. In September, 1930, the opening of school didn't seem so bad because we had the thought Oh, we've only two more years of High School to console us. Much to our delight we are thorf oughly enjoying this year, and have attacked the mighty Mr. Cicero and the complicated Miss Geometry with pep, vim and vigor, which all goes to show that the more you have, the more you want. When next September comes along, we shall greet it with great joy and anticipation, for we shall be Seniors, the envy of the undergraduates. We hope that we may be as good an example to the undergraduates as the present Senior Class has been to us. s. Qfi,Wl 52 THE CADUCEUS The Junior Class just three long years ago this fall, A quiet group of Freshmen shy Began to surge through Class'cal's gates, With hopes afsoaring to the sky. But many of them forsook their hopes When Caesar's conquests we began, And left our school for somewhere else, While we our Physics books did scan. Joe Hindle is our president, Through our election held last fall, While Pete Kanelos we did choose To watch our cash Cif any at alll. Miss Whitaker came through with praise, And now vicefpresident is she. Miss Riedinger can take down notes, For she's our Junior secret'ry. Each morn at eight, or quarter past, Miss Tenenbaum and Tabor hold A Latin huddle in Room Two. fThey get all A's, or so I'm told.j But now, it would not do at all Our junior athletes to omit, Of whom we have some shining stars, Of course we're very proud of it. Joe Hindle, Anstey, Ettlinger Play hockey with unusual pep, Kanelos is our football star, And Bojar makes the fencers step. And Cooper can play baseball well, His stops sure are a treat to see, And look at Pruny Ettlinger, A tennis champ of high degree. The boys are not the only ones Who've graced events in sporting field M. Richardson, Strauss, Patterson A galaxy of honors yield. There is one thing we'd like to know: Why Gulliver's tricks do ne'er abate? And also this more diflicult one: Why Moses is so often late? Since now that you have read thus far, And since this rhyme is almost through, Let's drink a toast to our dear class Of nineteen hundred thirtyftwo. 'Contributions of the Junior class history were submitted by Miss Hope Richardslm, Miss Sl1lliV2n, Tab0l'. Mis-9 Tenenbau Welsh and Willemin. ff2iW Qzfi?sQ3QfiWQJ2jii'fFE sJvQfS2l THE CADUCEUS 53 The Sophomores Struggling through the corridors of Classical in pursuit of muchfneeded knowledge, we, the exceedingly ambitious class of 1933, finally ascended from the lowest possible depths, namely, the Fresh' men, to the muchfdesired state of being Sophof mores. Through the wisdom, athletic ability and silly antics of a few members of our class, we have managed to gain the attention of some members of the faculty. According to the best dictionary available, a Sophomore consists of being partly wise and partly foolish. Authorities are not clear as to what perf centage of wisdom and foolishness can be claimed by us, but we ourselves are without doubt on the matter. Wisdom for us! Now that the characteristics of the second year students have been clearly shown, we will delve into the statistics of this class. The Sophomore class has been well repref sented on Classical's bloody field of battle. That is, the class has joined in the school's ancient and honorable custom of helping to produce fighting teams in all branches of athletics. Sophomores have willingly participated in attempting to bring about a sudden change in the present reputation of Classical's ability in interscholastic contests. Among the boys, Gallagher as a hockey player and Quigley as a basketball player show great promise. The feminine portion of our class, though unable to show so much brilliance in the art of Physics under the instruction of Messrs. Brown and Ward, have high hopes of being far more successful in athletics than the masculine portion. With Virginia Post as captain of a hardfworking team of girls, there has been pretty stiff opposition in the line of basketball between the several schools. As has been stated previously, wisdom is our chief virtue. Sophomores are in the habit of over' coming all obstacles that bar them from the straight and narrow path that leads to graduation. Even Gaius Julius Caesar with his bag of tricks cannot stop these valiant, wisdomfloving fools. It is fitting to mention that the young ladies have somewhat surpassed the young gentlemen in scholarly genius as is shown by the honor reports of Rose D'Avanzo, Marjorie Hanson, Betty Rice, Esther Cohen, Connie Hawkins, Virginia Parsons and several others whom limited space prevents from being mentioned. I might mention Rohrs, Votolato, Rodin and Cramer as a few of the so' called stronger sex who have actually shown some signs of human intelligence. Scott has brought great credit to himself and his classmates by ac' tually becoming this year's treasurer of the Debatf ing Society. Votolato has made the debating team by proving his superiority to Juniors and Seniors alike on a public platform. The aforementioned Quigley, a famed humorist, is ably supported in his wit by Casey, Chapman Es? Company. Their keen sense of humor has been rapidly spread through the length and breadth of the Sophomore Class. As a result, we are all quite jolly now and raring to enter our junior year. A terrible catastrophe has occurred. It was stated that wisdom was our chief virtue. However, this is only a sideline to the wondrous beauty which the Sophomore class is proud to call its own. Not only does the class possess a Schoenheit in the opposite sex, but also we boys-ahem, rather, young men-are only too quick to observe this phenomenon in an othe1'wise dull existence. From trustworthy sources we fear the masculine substance of the Sophomore class is not the only observant one in the building. Far from it! It is rumored that some of our illustrious senior gentle' men are noticing this eccentric phenomenon of nature. And in conclusion, you must remember that a combination of wisdom and foolishness makes for versatility in athletics, scholastics and general all' around usefulness.

We, the freshman class, represent the acornsg the proud and haughty seniors, the mighty oaks. We wonder how rich our crop will be in the harvest time of three years hence. The cultured seniors, who are going forth this June to conquer new worlds, have had advantages which will never be ours, for they have been four years under the guidance of one of the country's most noted educators, none other than our bef loved principal, Dr. Peck. Two epochal events in the history of Classical High School marked the school term of 19304931, namely the entrance of our freshman class into these classic halls and the resignation of Dr. Peck. It is a debatable question just what prompted our principal to sever his connections with Classical. Members of the sophomore class have said that the principal threw up his hands in horror when he looked upon the unusually crude material that thronged the corridors on the opening day in September, and immediately wrote his resignation. Others maintain, however, that when he looked into our shining eyes he found such a mine of educational wealth that he decided then and there that the future of Classical High was in safe keep' ing. His resignation followed. The records in the school archives indicate that the freshman class rates as high in scholastic attainments as its predecessors. A few of the pace' makers are E. Keblad, Tella, Miss Clarke, Phillips and Renola. just what our class will contribute to Varsity sports is an unknown quantity. The girls' basket ball team made a good showing and won the City Championship by defeating teams from Technical and Commercial. An outstanding player was Miss Martha McGarrahan, forward. On the tennis courts the winner of the singles was Miss Ruth Coppen. Serpa of Room 10 was the winner of the boys' singles. Skaskasukos and Massover are promising candidates for the track team. We haven't done much yet, but just watch us sprout. 'We wish to thank Miss Clarke, Miss Coppen and Miss Potter for their contributions to this page.

Capt. Barsamian will cover shortffield. Ed Grossman, who can also catch with the best of them, will be his double' play partner. Ed Cooper, straddling the initial sack, and Steve Jundanian, taking in the hot ones, will round out a smooth infield. Behind the plate our otherwise slowfmoving Rotenberg seems to be the inspiration of the pitchers, who incidentally are very promising this year. 'LRuby Sackin looks like a worldfbeater, Don Eckleson has plenty of stuff and Ed Ricci shows that he knows conf siderable baseball. The outfield is patrolled by two veterans and a new redfheaded prospect. Flashy joey Roberts performs his tricks at his customary place in leftf Held, while Billy Noon in centre is backing him up, waiting for a slip. Red Temple conducts himselfwell in rightffield. Without exception Classical always produces a fairfhitting team. This year the boys continue the custom. Although the longfdistance hitters are few, every one is a potential threat with the bat. With a rounded out hitting team Classical ought to go places and do things. Early games were not very heartening. In these Classical really did get her customary tough breaks. The Pawtucket game was lost to the tune of 1643. Woonsockefs representatives on the diamond won 1Of6. East Providence and Cranston won by the scores of 7f6 and Ofl ref spectively. In all of these games the Classicalites had rolled up an early lead, only to lose it in the last two or three innings, SWIMMING The swimming season was a success in all ref spects. We were able to field a team which comf peted against Wiiriskuck, Olneyville, and Central Boys' clubs. The relay team of Paddock, Siwicki, Anderson and Capt. johnson placed third in the City Championships. In the interclass meet the juniors won over the Freshmen and Sophomores respectively. Among the Freshmen who scored consistently in the three meets were Rydstron and Edwards. As this is the first time Classical has had an organized swimming team, we can safely say that next years team should cover itself with glory. 60 THE CADUCEUS BASKETBALL SQUAD HOCKEY SQUAD Q'WQQ f S2 sJ,b'iWQaiWQEl THE CADUCEUS 61 BASKETBALL In spite of the fact that five veterans remained from last year's team, Classical's basketball season was anything but bright. Victories were conf spicuous by their absence, the same holding true for the team's followers. Coach Peter Donnelly worked heroically during practices to inspire a fighting spirit into our courtfmen, but the results tell the story. The first West Warwick game was the nearest to a victory that the team came, the final score being 20f18. Although several opponents who went on a rampage with last year's team, were held to lower scores, they were few and far between. The most loyal rooters were the Varsity scrubs, who trailed after the team and at no time showed a decrease in spirit. Most of this year's team will be lost by graduation, but this is exactly what is needed. New men who have a liking for the game, a desire to learn to play it, and a sense of school spirit will do more than scores of veterans. There are not enough Sophomores and Juniors trying for the teams. You alone can change Classical's athletic reputation and make it equal to our fine scholastic record. Classical's basketball future rests with you, and from reports, your spirit is just primed to go out and prove that it will be successful. SOCCER Under the efiicient tutelage of Coach Pat Haughey, Classical fielded a team that showed the vast strides that have been made in that branch of sports. Faced with the task of modeling an eleven out of an ambitious, but none too large, band of recruits, Haughey gave his cohorts long hard drills which showed their effects during the season. The team went through the Grst three games without much success. In the second half of the schedule the plucky Purple and White handed everyone a neat surprise package. To begin with, the Latin scholars battled Hope to a standfstill on an icy fieldg Tech's champions defeated our team by a onefgoal margin, although the latter had the best of the argument all the way. Then, to cap a game upfhill fight, Eddie Brown's eleven conquered Commercial, 1f0. Berry was the vigilant between the bars. DeRobbio and Kayatta were the big fullfbacksg Gross, Alektion and W. Brown maintained the secondary defence: while Cahir, Silvestri, Captain E. Brown, DeAngeIis, Hagar and Weisman completed the forward ranks. Alf though some on the team will be lost by graduation, Coach Haughey will have a fine nucleus for next fall's edition of the Purple and White Soccer Team. HOCKEY Again the Classical High School Hockey Team finished the regular season in the first division, ending in third place. The 1931 edition of puckf sters suffered but three defeats, those occurring at the hands of East Providence and Cranston, this year's issue of State Champions. Handicapped by the loss of Captain Tom Casey and Paul Sollitto by graduation, Coach George Saxon set to work building a new combination around his four veterans, Captain Cavanagh, Roberts, Hindle and Ettlinger. However, the team displayed the true fighting spirit, ever be' coming to the bearers of the royal purple, until the bell sounded at the end of the last game. Much credit for the successful season is due Joey Roberts, playing his second season in the nets, who dropped many hard shots outside the goal. Gus Motta and Walter Anstey performed well on the defense, while on the forward line Captain Jack Cavanagh, Joe Hindle and Pruny Ettlinger were always peppering their objective, the opposing goalie. Although the team loses Gus Motta and Jack Cavanagh by graduation, we all hope that Classical will finish on top next time. 62 THE CADUCEUS TENNIS SQUAD TENNIS At last Classical has won a pennant. This new acquisition adorns the hitherto bare walls of the boys' lunchroom, where it may inspire to great deeds all who gaze upon it. In the most successful season in the history of Classical tennis, the team won the championship in the first year of the newlyfformed Interscholastic League, decisively defeating all its opponents.In the fall it continued its winning streak, taking Commercial and Technical into camp to win the Tilden Cup for the second successive year. As a result of its remaining unbeaten, after having played practically every nearby school that could put forth a tennis team, it was declared State Champion for last year. In the class championships of the city all the quarterffinalists were Classical men, Eddy being the senior, Berg the junior, Fitzpatrick the sophof more, and Serpa the freshman. Fitzpatrick, who, by the way, gained a name for himself by reaching the third round of the national boys' tournament at Culver, Indiana, last summer, and who is fifteenth in the national boys' ranking, won the city championship by defeating Eddy in the finals. Letters for the spring season were awarded to Captain Eddy, Fitzpatrick, Anstey, Goldman, Scribner and Manager Shulman. Others who figured actively in tennis were Berg, Serpa, Kramer, Weisman and Ettlinger. It is expected that the tennis team will have an equally successful season during this spring and fall. It will have its full strength during the spring, but will lose by graduation, however, the services of Eddy, Goldman, Shulman and Weisinaia. s5Qfbj'SftQJ fii2PQSf'sNQf1f2fdS2 fiWl THE CADUCEUS 63 FENCING The popularity of this ancient art of selffdefense has increased remarkably during the past few years. In response to the interest evidenced by the stu' dents of the city high schools Dr. Eric Stone has secured the expert services of a fencingfmaster, Jean Danguay, for the instruction and coaching of those interested. Every Classical student who has any pride in his school activities should go out for the team next year so that we may regain the Stone Trophy, which was won in 1950. Confronted with the task of defending the championship won last year, the fencing team had but a fairly successful season, winning one out of three matches. The members of the team starred as individuals but the team was not so successful as it might have been. The two veterans, Capt. Brown and Bojar, ran up high scores but Motta, Butler and Friedman were handicapped by lack of experience. The scores of the matches were as follows: Classical 6-Commercial 3g Classical 4-East Providence 5 g Classical 3-Tech' nical 6. In the Rhode Island Individual Championships Capt. Brown won second prize and Bojar placed Hfth, missing third by merely a few points. With the popularity of the sport on the inf crease, the prospects for next year are exceedingly bright. Captainfelect Bojar will be supplemented by a large squad, including Butler, Friedman, Cashman and Fleisig. TRACK Every evening at the gym one may find a squad of Classical trackfmen going through their paces. There are a great many Freshmen on the team, but on account of a threefyear rule they will not be able to show their wares against the other teams. Among these potential Frosh are Shaskauskas, McLaughlin and Massover. In the mile run, Captain C'Grady will represent the Purple and White. Although we have lost Davis and Brown, we have the nucleus of a good team this year. Q4 THE CADUCEUS FOOTBALL The 1930 edition of the Classical bonefcrushers led by the bashful Greek, Captain Bill Kanelos, went through a season which at its start gave great promise of success, but which was pursued by a peculiar jinx ofinjury. Every game which we were favored to take found two or three Rimiliar regulars replaced by substitutes, while the former nursed their injuries and chagrin on the bench. Never' theless, the team won its annual West Wairwick game, though not at the Cycledroine this year, much to the sorrow of our Captain, who could not get one ofthe city's foothalls. To give credit to the outstanding players would be to call the roll of the team, since all the boys deserve praise for the manner in which they carried out their parts of the assignments, though the ranks were sadly depleted. But Motta, Noon, Bar' samian and Cusick Calso Mignone, until he broke his collar bonej were outstanding among the players. Rotenburg was elected captain for 1931. Our new coach, Ernie Rylander, took hold of matters in a great manner, although it took the boys a little while to get acquainted with his system, which was different from the method employed by the former coach. Though some of the team graduate this June, there are many youngsters who will step into their shoes, making the prospects for 1031 very bright. Here's luck to our future gridiron heroes.

QfS2 xQQfiWE,Q1ff2Sfi25lif mJQfW5 66 THE CADUCEUS BASKETBALL TEAM T I'I E C A D U C E U S 67 , TENNIS 5 Pu R Tennis is one sport in which the individual K T stands alone upon his own merits and in which ,Ti 5 half the game is to win or lose gracefully. The good i sportsmanship our girls have shown has made ,, ' i tennis here the success it is. fa g. Since freshmen days of long ago, Dorothy i Richardson and Gertrude Mclver have fought in the finals for the supremacy of their class, and ' this year Gertrude won out. She fell, however, before the smashing leftfhand drives of Belle . X lr Strauss, Junior Champion by a victory over Marion 3 Richardson. It was then but short work for Belle Xi to dispose of Martha Smith, Sophomore of promise, Q who had previously defeated Ruth Coppen, , victorious over the Freshmen. Representing our school, Belle lost a plucky fight against a Com' mercialite, but next year she should go far with ' her powerful strokes and determined spirit. BASKETBALL Basketball outshines all other sports offered the girls both in quantity of those attracted and quality of teams formed. This year we hope to have two championship teams competing in the final rounds for the crown as City Champion. The Freshmen have their position as best of their class already secured with flying Purple and White. The Seniors, who have twice been champions of their class and last year reached the final round of play, have two tough games still ahead. The seniors have one invaluable basketfshooter and allfround player in Captain Mary Beane, who is hacked up at every step by Ethel Barnes, another fine forward. Dorothy Richardson's coolness as jumpingfcenter and Harriette O'Neil's snap and whiz as sidefcenter protect their part of the court adequately. Virginia Rice and Gertrude Mclver hold the guard positions in a manner that has made them feared among rival forwards. Several good substitutes are also an asset. The team apologizes profusely for showing such poor judgment as to lose its first game to Commercial. Sweeping victories over Tech and Hope are past history. Woe betide that band if they don't make more history by defeating Commercial in future combat! The unusual excellence of opposing teams has been too much for the good material of the juniors and Sophomores, captxnined by Marion Richardson and Virginia Post, respectively. The Junior team consisted of Irna Reidinger, Dorothy Lovell, Bella Strauss, Elizabeth Paterson, Shirley Battey and Mary Hawcroft. The Sophomore players included Constance Hawkins. Elizabeth Rice. Rose D'Avanf zo, Lysheth Kelley and Angelina Kelvecchio. The firstfrank freshman squad is composed of Martha McGarrahan, Captain, Frances MacBain, Billie Mott, Ruth Coppen, Michelena Pastore and Dorothy Ernst. SWIMMING Swimming has not been so popular this year as formerly, but every Thursday has found a few girls splashing around in Braman Pool, trying for Lifesaver Badges, a better crawl stroke, or perhaps a little extra height in that swan dive. We hope that more will take advantage of the opportunity offered next year, and, when the meets are held, pile up points for the Purple. ffRW 'its.5-9JP'riifl 68 THE CADUCEUS VOLLEY BALL Volley Ball, though it does not appeal to the girls so much as basketball, always has the necesf sary large squad out for the team. This year Classical had a very strong aggregation, which won its game from Hope, but lost to the other two schools. Nevertheless both were given a stiff half' FIELD In September about thirtyffive girls reported for field hockey, a sport which is proving im' mensely attractive to the more strenuous girls. Several promising players were discovered, and with Betty Thomas, Helen McCarron, Frances MacBain, Rose D'Avanzo and many other hour by their stubbornly Hghting foe. The out' standing players were Captain Elizabeth Patterson, Billie Mott, Virginia Post, Barbara Pierce, and Martha McGarrahan. Since these are all lower classmen, prospects for the future look great! HOCKEY veterans in the linefup, we can hope for a winning team next year. Although victories were not numerous, Coach McLoud and Captain Ardell Wheat are to be complimented for the fine sports' manship of their team. Answers To The Quiz 1.

Vouchsafe that it will be heralded far by the winds of the morning, Promise that it will go into the hearts of those so unwary As, in a moment of reckless ambition, to enter our portals! Vast are the depths of the ancient tongues which all Freshmen must masterg Long is the fall for the one who slips from the high steps of English, Troublesome are the irregular verbs of the French people's language, Lengthy and mixed are the sentences written by farfvisioned Germans, Sharp are the nails of lvlathematics o'er which ye must hobble for ages, Let not the humor of physics enthrall ye and make ye forgetful! Stand back, ye hordes of clamoring children, and list to your betters! Longfbearded Zeus from his throne on Olympus is watching your movements, Oxfeyed Hera looks down with envy and plans to ensnare you! Peace Time Wheii comes the veiled mystery of night, Sleep lulls the tired bodies of this world. The woods and raging waves rest then asleep, And all the while, bright glancing stars glide down The middle of the sky. Then every Held is silent, All beasts and painted birds, both those that live In rippling lakes and those that rest the night In thorny thickets and in drowsy caves, Are couched in dark serenity of night. Then hearts forget their troubles and their cares, And Peace is everywhere. F. T.

To be on such intimate terms with them unless their names, at least, were known, would not be at all proper. A great deal of satisfaction can be derived from friendly acquaintance and greetings. It is a fine thing to be able to say right off when a sharp blast pierces you to the marrow- Oh, yes! That is Notusfor Eurusfor Aquilo, as the case may be. To our minds there has been a decided prevalence of Aquilogperhaps he feels at home, or likes the scenery. We are sorry to say that Aquilo has a great many worshipers. Pagan rites seem out of the question in these times of enlightmentg yet there is no doubt about it. The ceremonies are quite simple, a square of plain or multifcolored cambric playing an important part in them. This is not, however, used for a head covering in accordance with ancient Greek custom, but is applied to the nasal organ prior to the emitting of a mournful, hollow sound, a prayer imploring the mercy of the deity. Some are more fervent in their reverence than others and their utterances are heartfrendf ing and awesome. A few of the more devout followers give vent to their religious feelings at odd moments during classes, pausing to send up a brief, heartffelt prayer, which sounds often like the pronunciation of a curse in Greek. This cult of worship has spread with great rapidity, but with vigilance and persistence it may be stamped out. In the interest of Christianity we feel that something must be done at once to check it. The field is open to some ambitious soul who wishes to earn eternal glory and gratitude. Tommy: Mama, wha's these crinkly things in your hair? Mama: Those are waves, dear.

A maniac, who mercilessly mangled innocent victims, had terrified all London with a succession of ghastly murders. To the great detective was assigned the task of capturing this inhuman mad' man. Flora Blake finally gathered enough courage to interrupt her husband, who was so deeply en' grossed in mental calculations. Basil, dear, I do hope this new case of yours will not hinder our anniversary plans. Somehow, her words startled him. He jumped up hastily, donned his hat and coat, planted a little kiss on his wife's cheek, muttered a few incoherent words, and was gone. Outside, in a premature fit of passion, old Notus mercilessly scattered the defenseless snowflakes with icy blasts. Sir Basil continued to puzzle himself with hypothetical theories in regard to the capture of the terrible Bend. In spite of the blinding blizzard he stuck to the trail. Suddenly, he stopped before the doorway of a dimlyflighted shop. Noise' lessly, the superfsleuth entered. Equally stealthily, he closed the door behind him. Not the least suspicious sound did he make. Immediately, his professional eyes devoured the scene. Less than five paces ahead stood a long narrow table. On it lay a mangled head which had been severed a very short time before. Nearby, a headless corpse, stretched out at full length, still quivered. The massive bulk of a man with a bloody hatchet firmly gripped in his right hand, stood glaring at the bisected body. Sir Basil surprised him. 'ijust what did you expect to gain by this deed? he suddenly Bred at him. The man was taken aback by this unexpected onslaughtg placing aside the gory ax, he wiped his sweaty brow with a bloodfstained apron. Only eight shillings, sir, he calmly replied. You thief ! exclaimed the other, but very well, I'll take it. The sleuth handed him the money as the weary overworked butcher wrapped up the turkey. The customer, with the bundle under his arm, returned home. Lady Blake, marvelling at the size of the beautiful turkey, hummed softly to herself while she prepared their anniversary dinner. Again Sir Basil seated himself in the comfortable arm chair, and again he chuckled as he pondered over deductions on his latest case.
