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.

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.

NIVERS to FLORIDA A brigh f f 5 f X-wfs ax e like sunshine breaking through the clouds, a c 1 ce re 1 tur d to a joke, Al is in our midst. Who is this I ne It r t a ' andsome youth with the broad shoulders ai I wai ' ne ' 3315- to every room selling hockey tickets. In f years his at : A owess has been a source of delight to Classical ro ers. How he ca - e part in athletics and get all A's is a wonder to us. His curly hair is the envy of every girl who has to pay for a permanent. Next year he will become tanned on the athletic teams of the U. of Florida. STEPHEN RATHBUN MILLER Orchestra, QI, 2, 3, 415 Clee Club, CZ, 31, Dance Orchestra, Q41g Social Committee, C31, Chairman, Q41g Senior Play Electrician, f41g Supper Committee, Q41. 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. We prophesy that Gus will become a great medical authority, for he is continually prescribing medicines for one's ills. He sets a good example by actually taking them himself. Who knows but what some day he might be endorsing F1eischmann's yeast!
