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.

PEMBROKB wher be 'n d it is impossible to stop. Her presence on the Social Co ittee l' r id this, has made class affairs hum. We feel that ch of a i de for the orchestra created for student dances is due o her i i erest in it. Everything that she undertakes she puts throug and at with a whizz and a bang. After lunch we often hear peculiar no' s in the feminine corner of Room 6-well, Happy sits there, that's one reason. Her ability in her studies, with her vitality and personality will continue to win her hosts of friends at Pembroke. h to be said about l'Happy that it is hard to know CHARLES WARREN PAIGE Soccer, C2, 3Dg Football, C455 Basketball, C4jg Photo Committee, C4jg Treasurer of Athletic Association, C4jg Dance Committee, BATES For two years Charlie was a bashful youngster at Classical. 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. FLORENCE HERMIENNE PARKER Orchestra, C1, 2, 3, 4jg Concert Mistress, C3, 4Dg Advanced Orchestra, Clee Club, C2jg Social Committee, C3jg Senior Play, C4jg German Play, C4J, Gift Committee, R. I. C. E. Florence is probably the smallest person in our classg but, like so many who lack size, she certainly makes up for it in talent and charm. 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. Even the laborious lugging of her comparatively huge inf strument does not detract from her love of it- -quite the opposite. Next year Florence and her fiddle will be getting still better acquainted at R. I. C. E. JUSTIN JEROME PARVEY Debating, C3, 4j, VicefPresident, C4j. BROWN UNIVERSITY Now, no doubt you've been to lunch. Justin goes there too, but not to eat! 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.

It is our Ginny's, of course, the girl with the golden hair. She is as proficient in basketball as in singing, for our senior team claims her as one of its best guards. When sounds of whispering and giggling disturb the peaceful silence of these long corridors, you may always be sure that Ginny is around because wherever grace Pembroke. DOROTHY RICHARDSON Basketball, Cl, Z, 3, 415 Swimming, C115 Tennis, Cl, 2, 3, 415 Caduceus Board, C415 Senior Play, C415 German Play, C415 Class Secretary, C3, 41. PEMBROKB Itls always hard to write about the celebrities of a class for the simple reason that there 15 so muc say about them. So it is with Dot, our secretary. She goes down in assic all of fame as athlete invincible, scholar after Mr, Peck's 1 ' , tress extraordinary, and queen of hearts. Her skill at the ai mas also been in demand on many occasions. From such a list of abilit' s Dot chooses acting as her greatest passion. Anyf how, we know that Dot would be a success as bricklayer or opera singer if such were her desire. this little girl is, there is always something afbrewing. Next year she will ROBERT SACKIN Baseball, Cl, 2, 3, 415 Basketball, C1, 2, 3, 415 Football, CZ, 41. 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. RUTH ELEANOR SAMPSON Senior Play, C415 Caclaceus Board, C41. PEMBROKE When God was creating the flowers, tinting them variously with all the colors of the rainbow, he forgot one lovely combination. 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. With these gifts Ruth has easily surrounded herself with many friends, and wherever she goes, we know her sweet personality and fine intelligence will win her great happiness and success.
