ini 14 THE CADUCEUS GEORGE OLNEY DRISGOLL Debating Club, C31g Glee Club, C415 German Play, C415 Senior Play, C415 Supper Committee, C41. 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 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.

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?
