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!

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?

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.
