ARMINE HOPE AVAKIAN RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN This quiet young lady trips up and down Classical's vener- able corridors with an air of assurance. Though not a cum laude her scholastic ability is good. Armine is one of Mr. Randall's A pupils. She would like to become a dress designer. She will surely be successful. Good luck, Arminel ALBERT BOUTELLE BROWN Although a cum laude, scholastic ability is nicely tempered with wit in this pleasing combination, which is Al. He has brightened the days with his quips and cranks and wanton wiles . He is expected to move to Taunton, for the town holds a great attraction for him.

Swimming, Q25 Lunch Committee, UQ. CARMELLA D'AGOSTINO R. I. STATE Daggie with her efficient manner and pleasing personality has certainly made a host of true friends. Carmella is often thought of as quiet and unassuming but when one knows her, she is found to be a delightful companion. Many a dull mom- ent has been enlightened by a flashing smile or some unsuspect- ed witty remark from Carmella's corner of the room. Carmella intends to further her studies at Rhode Island State. May her future be nothing but joy and happiness. Senior Choir, UQ, Nj. ARTHUR LEONARD DAVIS Arthur, a fellow of charming personality and of admirable qualities of character, must surely believe in the saying There's always room at the top . His most enviable records in his stud- ies during his stay here, certainly help to support this belief. However, not only is he the ideal student, but he also possesses a fine sense of humor. May success be yours, Arthur, in all your future undertakings. Track, UQ: Caduceus Board, KU. MARIO DELLA ROSA BROWN Behold the genius of the class!

Her skill at hair-dressing is not her only accom- plishment, since she also plays the violin and does well in her studies. Orchestra, KZQ, UQ: French Club. CADUCEUS 9 JUDITH HALLIDAY R, I. C. E. Judy belies the saying that red-heads have a matching temper. Judy was once captain of the debating club. She was also among the final ten chosen to compete for the Anthony Medal.

It is none other than Celia, who plays the piano and indulges in throwing about soft cus- tard pies Cacting for the moving cameralj. She intends to be a journalist after completing her course at Columbia, and admis- sion to cum laude is a good step in that direction. Classical Review Board, H25 Caduceus Board, M25 Cum Laude.

But to those who know her, she is as vivacious and charming a young person as one would wish to meet. She is an ardent en- thusiast for dancing and music, and she has an apt mind for the problems and puzzles of a difficult course of study.

The football team, under the able leader- ship of Captain Joe Dangielowicz, opened the 1935 football season in an auspicious manner by defeating a heavier, well-drilled St. Raphael squad by the score of 6-O. Al- though the boys were handicapped by lack of weight, they refused to budge under the ferocious onslaughts of St. Raphael. Quarter- back De Petrillo crossed up the St. Raphael defense when he called for a long pass from Dean to Dangielowicz. The pass was com- pleted, and Dangielowicz crossed the St. Ra- phael goal line standing up. The try for the extra point failed, and Classical went into the lead. The team was content to play de- fensive football for the rest of the game. The final score was still 6-O in favor of our athletes. The next week Classical played Westerly. The surplus of weight on the part of the Westerly players proved to be the falling point for the Classical team, for the continu- ous line thrusts wore out the Classical line- men, who withstood the powerful line- smashes by Peduzzi and Panciera until late in the second period. Panciera scored the first Westerly touchdown on a smash from the half-yard line. Peduzzi scored the second touchdown in the third period. Panciera converted a placement to make the final score 13-O. Classical then journeyed to Country Day, where it lost a heart-breaking game. The op- ponents scored iirst on a poor Classical punt. Classical tied the score when Eddie Hindle threw a long forward pass to Dangielowicz. In the second half Classical went into the lead by virtue of Maher's line-bucking. Classical seemed well on the way to victory until the last 17 seconds of play when New- man, Country Day quarterback, threw a long forward pass to Tillinghast. The lat- ter caught the ball on the run and scam- pered over the goal line. Newman ran around the end to score the winning point. Classical's next game was with the heavier Mt. St. Charles aggregation, The game was played in a heavy downpour of rain, which hampered the forward passing attack of the team for every time our players attempted to throw a pass they slipped on the wet turf. Mt. St. Charles put across four touchdowns and 2 extra points, to win by a score of 26 to O. Although the Classical team outplayed its next opponent, Lockwood, it found dif- ficulty in crossing the opponent's goal line. The Purple and White completed seven out of nine passes. The only score of the game came when Brown, Lockwood halfback, dashed thirty-two yards off tackle for the fContinued on Page 691 CADUCEUS 39 lndoor Track TRACK TEAM Back RowfViIl.mco.

The Classical indoor track team, led by Captain Ted Titsworth and directed by Coach Thompson, enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in recent years, coming within one-quarter of a point of the Class B State Championship. Fred Robley established a new State In- terscholastic Class B record of 7.8 seconds for the forty yard dash, and was the team's fast- est thousand man. Ralph Lewis flashed through to capture the former forty-five yard low-hurdle rec- ord, and set a new record of six seconds. Much credit is due Esterino Cimino for his work with the shot put. A Hne showing was made by Parvey and Outdoor The nucleus of the Classical Outdoor Track Team is the former Indoor Track Team, with a large number of new fellows to give us the support and choice which have always been lacking in Classical teams. The team is going to start spring practice on the thirtieth of March, and has six meets sched- uled: The Relay Carnival, the Kingston Meet, the City High Schools Meet, two Dual un, arvi' . an er, Titsworth in the 300 yard run, by Sundlun, Rice, and Vestri in the 600 yard run, by Sundlun in the high jump, and by Bander, Black, Parvey, and Titsworth in the relays. Others who helped make the team a suc- cess were: Andreozzi, Coppa, Simeone, Rus- sillo, Ursillo, D'AvanZo, Ronzio, and Dean. Enough praise cannot be given to Coach Thompson for his keen interest and indis- pensable coaching. He has continually set a fine example of sportsmanship for the fel- lows, and knows his coaching from A to Z. P, S. If the track team advances as much next year as it has improved this season, and Classical has enough money, the four fastest men on the team may go to the Pennsylvania relays to bring Classical a little national fame. Track Meets, and the Interscholastic Championships at Brown. Inspired by the success which was theirs on the board track, the whole team is eager to feel out their footing on the cinders. With the fine spirit of cooperation and loyalty and let's go get 'em which is manifest in every one of the team's members, this year is bound to be a golden era in Classical track. 40 CADUCEUS Cross-Country Team Back Rowffloherty.

Last year our lone victory was over Hope High, but prospects are much better for a successful 1936 season. From last year's squad we have lost Ashton and Dawley, but our three vet- erans, Captain Titsworth, Logan, and Dol- bey, remain as a nucleus for this year's battle with old man par. As our fourth man we have Beaty, a transfer from Moses Brown, who performed brilliantly on that school's team last year. This quartet should provide an interesting and vigorous afternoon for all opposition. Fencing The '36 edition of the fencing team has enjoyed the best season since Classical won the championship in 1933, and it looks as if the Purple and White is once more on its way to the top in the sport which it formerly ruled supreme, In the opening match the team completely routed an inexperienced Central aggregation by a 9-O count. The team was not so suc- cessful in its second start, which was lost to the Brown Freshmen in a closely fought con- test, 5-4. Then followed two discouraging defeats: the first at the hands of Hope, the de- fending champions, 6-3, the other to the Providence Fencers' Club by the same score. In the latter match our foilsmen gave a line exhibition, but lost to a vastly superior club. A surprise 5-4 victory over the highly-touted East Providence team ensued which proved to be the high-light of the season. The out- come of the bout was not decided until the final touch was scored. A similar situation occurred in the next match at Westerly, but this time the deciding point fell to the oppo- nents, which gave them a 5-4 triumph. Our boys got sweet revenge for this loss by pin- ning a convincing 7-2 setback on Westerly in the preliminary round of the Stone Trophy play, but it was in vain, for they were elimi- nated 5-4 in the semi-finals by the Townie swordsmen, who went on to win the state title. Although the team will lose the services of Captain Les Salter, Alfred Shatkin, and Ar- thur Kelman by graduation, a good season is to be expected for next year. Fazio, Del- Guidice, Pieri, and Kerr all saw some action, and will be available for the 1937 team. CADU CEUS 41 Basketball Team Back Row l.a Fauci, Bsllino, Place. Dangivlowicz.

It was off to an auspicious start when it won the first four games on its schedule. The team met its first defeat when it encountered the Westerly quintet at West- erly. Coach Norman Feifer found the reme- dy for the defeat immediately, and the team started out in quest of new victories. The team ended the first half of the schedule in second place. The second half was more dif- ficult for the players because most of the games were to be played on opponents' courts. Despite this fact, the team started out with the determination to get back to first place. lain Andrcozzi. Kershaw, Nocera. Manager. Aldrich proved the first victim for our pen- nant-bound quintet. The team, however, stumbled into two doughty opponents when it encountered and realized defeat at the hands of South Kingston and Central Falls, two of Classical's earlier victims. Westerly, one of the two teams to beat Classical in the first round, succumbed this time on Classical's home court, and Classical was outplayed by West Warwick and St. Raphael, although defeating Lockwood and Mt. St. Charles. The team will lost Captain Andreozzi, Pour- naras, Place, Dangielowicz, and De Petrillo. The nucleus of the next year's team will be built around Bellino and La Fauci. Baseball The Classical baseball team of 1936 set out with the grim determination not to be outdone by the fine records compiled by the football, basketball, and hockey teams. Its chances of becoming a contender for one of the three state baseball titles were bettered when it was transferred from the class A to the class B division. Most former Classical nines have been trying to build up material for the future, but this year it seemed that the material had reached that peak where it was ready to give the best teams of the state strong competition. The pep, fight, and ability displayed by the squad were kept up by a scrappy infield and outfield made up of such veterans as Almon, Kauffman, Maher, Kershaw, Hindle, Dean, Cooney, Irish, and Davey. The pitching staff was bolstered by the return of Art Randall, who had had experience with the Classical baseball team of 1934. Much credit is due coaches McElroy and McLaughlin for the way in which they han- dled their respective jobs. 42 CADUCEUS Hockey Team Back Row Ilobrnwski, Aaronian, Hindle, Alnmn. Cunningham, Loach.

Under the coaching of Ed Cunningham, the team remained in the race for a play-off berth until the nnal stages of the season. The team started off with a bang when it whipped Central and East Providence, two ancient rivals, in successive games. Hope, with the aid of Lady Luck, defeated Classical 2-O. However, this only made Classical's determination greater, for we beat Cranston, Warwick, and La Salle in con- secutive games. The La Salle match proved to be the feature spectacle of the year in the eyes of the four hundred Classicalites that rr c, anna . A Calor, au man. witnessed it. This string of victories placed Classical in first position with the Flying Frenchmenn of Mt. St. Charles. The next game found the latter displaying all their ability in order to outscore Classical 2-O. The game was witnessed by half the student body and a good portion of the faculty. This de- feat seemed to depress the Classical players so much that the team lost the remaining games on its schedule. Next year the team ought to reach the play-offs when we consider that Randall, star goalie, Maher, Hand. Heffner. Munger, Kauffman and Ziobrowski will form the nucleus for the team which has lost Cap- tain O'Keefe, Aaronian, Hindle, and Simp- son. Tennis Although the Classical tennis team has lost three fine players of the 1935 squad in Barrows. Lister, and Shulman, it still has high hopes for a successful season in 1936. The team last spring won the western di- vision championship from South Kingstown. and went on to the state finals, where, unfor- tunately, it was defeated by De La Salle of Newport. Such available players as Eliasson, Kaplan, Kramer, and Cusick will form the nucleus of this year's team. There are also many new- comers, several of whom show considerable ability. It is hoped that much talent will be discovered in the future, to lessen the odds against our establishing a championship club. A schedule somewhat similar to those of past seasons will be played. Aside from the lnterscholastic League matches, such oppon- ents as Moses Brown, Portsmouth Priory, Brown, and Providence College Freshmen have been carded.

Lack of practice has been their downfall. However the spirit and sportsmanship char- acteristic of this team make them turn out to every game with a determination to win. Al- ready they have won half their games. Cap- tain Anna Montagano has shown some ex- cellent playing as forward. Isabel Betts. a newcomer on the basketball squad, has done her share of the basket-making which has kept the Classical girls from utter defeat, The two guards, Carmella Santini and Esther O'Keefe, both seasoned players, have shown some of the best guarding that has ever been seen at the City Gymnasium. The centers, Dolores Banker and Priscilla Allen, have done much towards their teams' vic- tories. So far the Seniors have been defeated once by the Central l2A's and once by the Cen- tral l2B's. The game with the Central l2B's was the most exciting game of the season. The Classical team, leading all through the game, was one point ahead. The Central team called time out, made a substitution in the last fifteen seconds, and made the deciding basket with but three seconds to go. The Central l2B's were defeated by Class- ical two weeks before the breath-taking game. Wearers of the Large Purple C 1932 1933 1934 1935 Mary Beane Lysbeth Kelley Dorothy Ernst Dorothy L.

Although the team set off with a bad start by losing to Hope, their spirits were not in the least daunted, With the iierce determina- tion noticeable in all Classical teams, they again set out to carry home the victory. They were rewarded for their fine co-operative teamwork by winning all their ensuing games: that is, until they came up with the champions who defeated them by only three points. Excellent playing was exhibited by Cap- tain Esther O'Keefe, who kept the team on its toes with her clear thinking. Good back- ing was provided by Eleanor Whitman, Dor- is Tyson. Jane Place, Frances Greben, Doro- thy O'l.eary, and Margaret Lyrre. Freshman Girls' Basketball Classical's Freshmen are breaking all form- er class records by beating so many Sopho- more teams. The first game played was that between the Classical Freshmen and the Class- ical Sophomores. This was a tragedy for the upper class, caused by the wonderful work of Jeannette Barlowski and Helen Armbrust as forwards. The team kept going onward and upward, beating first the Central lOB's and then the lOA's from the same school with such scores as should put the Sophomores to shame. Their only defeat was handed them by the Hope Sophomores. This defeat, almost a tie, was brought about by a basket made in the last minute of play. The team shows great promise and we hope it will bring in another City Championship. Their oppon- ents have had a hard time making points when facing the able guards-Bertha Coon- ey.

U18 48 CADUCEUS Class Will --- January, 1936 We, the members of the class of February, 1936, of Classical High School, being as sound as possible in mind and body, do here- by declare this to be our last will and testa- ment and bequeath the following: Alfred Andreozzi leaves the school his great athletic record. Eugene Gallo bequeaths his curly hair to Kazaros Manoian. Teriz Gulesserian gives her diminutive stature to Ruth Nagel. Spero Karahalios presents his loud laughter and ready wit to the highest bidder. Edward DiMuccio gives the football team his best wishes. Celia Horvitz leaves her scholastic record for others to aim at. Americo DiManna concedes his knowledge of geometry to Thomas Rusbino. Isadore Berstein yields 'iDr. Johnson to forthcoming Seniors. Beatrice Sciarra accords her brilliant ques- tions and answers to any Gracie Allen . Alys Minutilla surrenders her swing to Dorothy Parsons. Mario Della Rosa bestows his conversa- tional powers on John Almon. James Mahoney bequeaths his cat naps to Ellery French. Morris Keller relinquishes his seat in the choir to any Junior with operatic ambitions. Mary McKiernan presents the teachers with all the gum that she has chewed so that they may more easily stick their pupils. Edward Caldarone yields the many miles Class History If I should write the history of the Senior Class of February, 1936, I should be writ- ing for no reason whatsoever, since you all linow, better than I do, the history of this c ass. If I should write that Alfred Andreozzi has been very successful in baseball, foot- ball, basketball, and other sports, it would be nothing new to you. If I should write that the Ciirl Reserves of the Y. W. C. A. was started during the second year by Alys Minutilla, Pat Tarbell, Barbara Wilbour, Helen Viskievitch, Judith Halliday, and Evelyn Mazick, you would be bored. If I should say that during the fourth year of school practically everyone in the spent in walking between Classical and Cen- tral to Thomas Michael. Judith Halliday bestows her soft and gen- tle voice on Mildred Rudnick. Arthur Davis bequeaths his distinguished air to Al Coates, Znd. Edward Regan leaves his wide-eyed inno- cence to Frank Cusick. Carmella D'Agostino grants anyone the pleasure of writing French sentences with Morris Keller. Myron Ruzyla bequeaths his bow tie to Terry Simpson. Andrew Santangini leaves his membership in the Chain Gang to future applicants. Marshall Van Egmond accords his luck in winning tickets in a sports contest over a lo- cal radio station to Jimmy Capron. Al Boutelle relinquishes one stained, un- lined, shapeless hat of grey material to grate- ful Edgar Parvey. Theresa Sibielski wills her nonchalant manner to Helen Viskievitch. Edwin Dyer bequeaths his quiet attitude to Bill Dean. Evelyn Mazick leaves her untiring energy to the track team. Florence Umstead bestows her generous smile on Peggy Sharkey. Catherine Moran leaves her pleasant per- sonality to Marjorie Stevens. We, as a class, give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and un- broken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. anuary, 1936 Senior Class-Edward Caldarone, Carmel- la D'Agostino, Morris Keller, Theresa Si- bielski, Marshall Van Egmond, Albert Bou- telle, Mario Della Rosa, Alys Minutilla, Ed- ward Regan, and others-were in the choir, you would think that I was wasting my breath for nothing-and I would bel If I remarked on the fact that during the fourth year Evelyn Mazick won the An- thony Medal, you would say, Of course, she did! If I remarked that during the fourth year Marshall Van Egmond was President, The- resa Sibielski was Vice-President, Catherine Moran was Secretary, and Edward Regan was Treasurer, of the class, you would won- CADUCEUS 49 der why I bothered telling you. You knew it anyway. If I told you that cum laudes were given to Mario Della Rosa, Marshall Van Eg-- mond, Albert Boutelle, Theresa Sibielski, and Celia Horvitz, you wouldn't be inter- ested. If I informed you that members of our class CDavis, Van Egmond, and othersD were on the Caduceus Board, you would say, Why shouldn't they be? If I reminded myself that Andreozzi is also President of the Athletic Association, you would start muttering to yourself. If I mentioned that there was a school orchestra Cyou've heard it, I thinkj-if I mentioned that there was one and that Ter- iz Gulesserian and Spero Karahalios were both on it at different times, you would probably scream, Why must you continue telling me what I already know? If I noted that Florence Umstead and Ed- win Dyer were in the play, The Radio Mystery , Cwhich I'm sure you all sawj, you would want to murder me. And if I could tell you everything about Beatrice Sciarra, Isadore Berstein, Americo DiManna, Edward DiMuccio, Eugene Gal- lo, James Mahoney, and Mary McKie.rnan, that you must know, but I don't, you would probably rid yourself of me as quick- ly as possible. Therefore, since you know all these things, why must I write a Class History? Class Supper --- IZA On February 10, 1936, the mid-year grad- uating class, after receiving their coveted di- plomas in the Classical High School Auditor- ium, hastened to the Biltmore Hotel, where a very enjoyable evening was spent. The small but happy group, together with the honored guests, Mr. and Mrs. Paine, Miss Allen and Miss Roberts, partook of a palat- able meal in a private dining-room on the sixteenth floor. The after-dinner proceedings were opened by the President of the Class, Marshall Van Egmond, who thanked all those who helped to make the graduation and supper a success, following which he intro- duced the toastmaster, Edward Regan. Mr. Paine was called upon to address the class, and in his remarks advised the graduates nev- er to become discouraged, naming Abraham Lincoln as an outstanding example of one Class Will We, the Senior Class of June, 1936, being mentally deficient and physically defective, do hereby will and bequeath to our beloved fellow Classicalites the following: Frank Giunta wills his classpin to whom- soever passed by him on the first floor and dexterously removed it from his lapel. Carmela Santini bequeaths her hockey stick, which she used for four years, to Dor- othy Ricci. Harold Jarcho leaves to any aspiring mem- ber of the chorus his magnificent bass voice. Sylvia Salzman leaves her crushes on stu- dent teachers Cmalej to any undergraduate so inclined. John Cooney confers his ability to rescue fainting lasses upon Stanley Johnson. who refused to let his setbacks conquer him. A toast to Mr. Paine was offered by Albert Boutelle, while Mario Della Rosa gave a toast to Miss Allen, Miss Roberts, and the other members of the faculty. Toasts to the girls and boys were given by Americo DiManna and Theresa Sibielski, respectively. The Class Prophecy was read by Arthur Davis, and the Class History by Celia Horvitz. Miss Allen and Miss Roberts said a few words, after which all who had escaped speaking up to that time were obliged to express themselves. When the pleasantries had ended, the banquet table was abandoned. Then everyone parti- cipated in singing and dancing until about ten-thirty, when the festivities were conclud- ed and the Class of February, 1936, was for- mally disbanded. June, 1936 Mary Maguire gives her locker key to Shir- ley Logan With the hopes that she will keep it, at least, until the first semester is termin- ated. Arthur Kelman surrenders his ledger book of Caduceus accounts to the next business manager to decipher. Muriel Port bequeaths her musical talent to any young aspiring pianist. Bill Trafton and Dick Starrett pass on their passion for gaudy bow ties to any un- dergraduate, who desires to be outstanding. Alice McElroy leaves her locker clean. Raymond Creegan confers his extraordin- ary love for Latin upon Charles McGovern. Betty Duckworth relinquishes her power 50 CADUCEUS to console fellow classmates at delinquent, examination, and report times to the juniors. Joseph Dangielowicz vacates his position on the football team for any rising under- classman to fill. Beverly Glover wills the problem of squeezing through the narrow aisles of the locker room to Ruth Purcell. Leonard Cohen imparts to the freshmen the privilege of ripping pad paper in Room 5 during class. Marjorie Orphin entrusts an armful of schoolbooks to any one who will carry them. Joslyn Presser leaves the many pleasant hours spent in the chemistry lab to Ada Himelfarb. Ruth MacKay bestows the pleasure of walking to school on cold mornings upon Ann Doyle. ' Ray Curran grants Ted Titsworth the technique of being on time. Isabel Betts endows her capacity for noise- making at basketball games upon any ambi- tious underclassman, who possesses unusual ability for overworking his lungs. Howard Irish and John Almond leave their positions on the traffic squad to any two juniors who will be unperturbed by be- ing pushed about by the passing crowds. Virginia Barrett grants Edith Fogel her ability to appear wise and attentive while day-dreaming in class. Billy Bellin surrenders the problem of originating designs for the year book to the next art editor. Esther O'Keefe and Anna Montagano leave their athletic ability to future would-be basketball stars. Martin Orzeck bestows his love for school books upon Harold Jenison. Jane McGuirk wills her sweet, demure manners to Dolores Banker. Edward Finberg leaves his high scholastic record for all freshmen to aim at. The entire senior class, being of saner mind as graduation draws near than on a certain September day four years ago, sincerely hopes that they have left behind them pleasant re- minders of their former presence. The Junior Class The future seniors, we hope, having been in Classical for at least two years, now have become more mature and set in the human mold. However, suddenly and unexpectedly, one of the members of our class may forget himself or herself, fthe female of the speciesj and burst out with some juvenile prank, How many of the future geometricians have tried, in vain, in naming angles or retcangles, to letter them P. D. or O. U. Q. T.! Would a senior do that! How often did we, as Freshmen and Soph- omores, wonder what that unearthly odor was, which seemed to be a happy medium be- tween a skunk at a lawn-party and a dozen of broken eggs, vintage of 1900, that seeped under the door leading to Mr. Berry s chem- ical sanctuary. We discover, as Juniors, much to the irritation of our nasal and vocal pas- sages, that the odor is some form of sulphur gas. And now a bit of blissful news for the fu- ture senior French class. You will have Jean Valjean to translate next semester. EXTRA SPECIAL!! Cicero Trots-Extra Cheap. The pick of the lot! First come, first served. See any Junior Latin scholar who ex- pects to become a Senior next fall. P. S. Virgil trots will be received with open arms from any Senior who has com- pleted the course. FLASHESII What certain Junior sport star known as Tuffy was very much perturbed at the Classi- cal vs. South Kingstown game at South Kingstown last winter? I-Ie had just found a little blonde and was already to take her dancing after the game when the command- ing voice of the coach said, Into the bus, boys . Tough luck, Tuffy! But you had better keep away from those South County farm- ers' daughters. I know them all! The perpetual Junior-Sophomore boy. Yates, has finally completed his special CU course and has become a full fledged Junior. Moral:- If once you don't succeed, try, try again . If my opinion means anything, I think Stan Johnston ought to be the mascot of the class of 1937! And our column wouldn't be complete without the insertion of Dimpy Meader's name. This little mite seems to attract the opposite sex quicker than honey attracts flies. CADUCEUS 51 Perhaps it is his modest red jacket. What three Q31 boys wonder just how much watch-crystals cost? A very good friend of mine will soon pub- lish a book entitled How to Break Tables in Geometry Class . Miss Roberts' English students should have an extensive vocabulary after they leave her classes. A comparison-- Mac Beaty and Don Juan. Draw your own conclusions! But enough of this scandal CU-here is the important fact about the Junior class: Our Prom was celebrated on May 8 at the Crown Hotel. Never mind this short history-we'll have the whole book next year all to ourselves. JOSEPH J. MCDEVITT Sophomore Class We Sophomores have survived our Fresh- man year and are still enthusiastic over our studies, as Margaret Gilman, Harvey Spear, and Paul Tamarkin have proved by captur- ing the elusive all A reports. Also high in scholastic attainment are Mariette Artaud, Joslin Berry. Joseph Dressler, Patricia Har- rington, Hope Lent, Dorothy Ricci, and Hel- en Taylor, in addition to numerous others. On the principal's coveted Honor List are Edith Hermann, Marion Murdock, Selma Schlossberg, William Tukey, and George Williams, only a few of those composing the complete list. Frank Bellino and Thomas La Eauci have turned in performances deserving of praise for the basketball squad. Joe Hand, Eliason, Heffner, and Munger are upholding the Purple and White on the hockey rink, while Heffner, Bellino, La Eauci, Hand, and Fisher have proved that Sophomore boys are made of something more substantial than sugar and spice by roughing it on the foot- ball Held. Misses Gardner, McLaughlin, Ricci and Short have tried their skill successfully at field-hockey and baseball, and the Misses Giblin, McKinnan, and Allen are showing what the fair sex can do in basketball and cageball. And We're not lacking in musical ability, for it is Virginia Allen's hand that sets the drum throbbing in accompaniment to the singing of Edith Hermann's violin, Mc- Aleer's trombone, and Chusmir's saxophone. Why is it that Phyllis Clason is seen at all the track meets cheering whole-heartedly for a certain runner in lR whose initials are B. B.? If Joe Hand should receive a Zero in a class for not knowing whe-re the place was, many of his classmates wouldn't be sur- prised, for his eyes seem to be attracted to Pat Harrington rather than to his school books. The foregoing will, I hope, set the hearts of those teachers who shall have us next year as Juniors palpitating in joyous anticipation. If one can judge by that which the gentle breezes waft, Room 10 has a third period orange devotee. Someone's hungry-but not for knowledge. An ambitious Alice-in-Wonderland looking girl in Miss Budlong's room is writ- ing out the translation of her French Reader so that she can in the near future lay claim to have translated a book. I wonder where a certain plump damsel would be without her Trot ? Certainly not at Classical! Why has the boy's exit such a great attrac- tion for Margaret Cumming? Has a blond lad in a red-very red-jacket anything to do with it? Room ll vents its boredom by joining the C. C. C. CContagious Coughers Corpora- tion.j A popular inhabitant of the latter room suddenly goes English during his oral topics, with hilarious results. ls it spring fever that causes the attack of Wanderlust Rita Cormier gets every third period? Cr is it l'Gighley ? Freshman Class The large group of ambitious students which concentrated at Classical in 1935 and became the class of 1939 holds promise of versatile accomplishments, since by this time we have developed into a loyal group of un- dergraduates. The spirit of our class is evident and our originality is not to be outdone. Several weeks ago a group of boys in the class de- cided to make themselves conspicuous. They proceeded to alter the position of their ties by draping them outside their sweaters. After tinding this unsatisfactory, they rolled up their trousers several times as if they were wading through pools of water. This pro- duced the desired effect, but it was discour- 52 CADUCEUS aged by the teachers. Hereafter to be suc- cessful they must not attract attention. Our class is not without its breath of ro- mance. Room 2l merits the limelight in this respect. For instance, we would all like to know who that blond-haired boy is whom we see walking to classes with our Martha Red Berstein? Now Martha!!!-What Senior is a certain dark-haired, hazel-eyed girl just c-razy about?-and Peggy Dia- mond,-who is, and what about Billy? Cap- fortun- tain Armburst seems to be more ate UD. She has two heart-throbs. One is a Classicalite and one a Cranstonite. Is Helen turning traitor to her Alma Mater? As for scholastics, we were at first dis- mayed at the amount of homework. It was not the quantity, but its magical property of incessancy that awed us. When we became ac- customed to the routine, our fears were abat- ed, and the number of delinquent slips de- creased accordingly. There is a number of would-be athletes in the class. Helen Armburst was captain of the Freshman-Sophomore Hockey while Miss Barlowski and Miss O'Leary were assets to the Cageball team. Some of the outstanding boys are Robert Argientieri, Charles Benoit, Vincent Serabella, and Francis Cooney. Jan- uary l6th was a red-letter day, or rather a purple-letter day for those of us who were awarded the small C's . Girls' Glee Club Seventy youthful voices may be heard trilling vocal exercises during the third peri- od of any Wednesday morning. This group, more formally known as the Ciirls' Glee Club, is composed of girls from all four classes. In the past two years there has been keen competition for the privilege of belong- ing to the organization, but its membership has remained limited. The first part of the year the girls were kept busy with l'The Fifes of June , a fav- orite with all the members, and Aye Waken 'O , a truly Scotch composition for the pronunciation of whose words the help of Miss McRae was sought. Due to the scholastic requirements of the school, the club in its entirety will not take part in the spring concert of the combined city-high-school glee clubs. However a few representatives will be sent. And so the rehearsals continue under the jovial direction of Mr. Angell and seniors will soon regretfully leave their places to the in-coming freshmen. Boys' Glee Club Every Thursday morning. thirty melodi- ous male voices may be heard resounding through Classical's corridors from the school auditorium. These belong to the members of the Boys' Glee Club, which is conducted un- der the able leadership of Mr. Angell. After a successful rendition of Christmas carols, the club spent the remainder of the school semester preparing several songs of the sea, which were presented before the student body. The songs included a chanty, Song of the Sea-Pirates , and Laudamus , a prayer specially adapted for male voices. Mr. Angell may well be complimented up- on the success of this year's Boys' Glee Club. Sonnet to a Sonnet I tried so hard, so hard to write a sonnet: The words just seem'd to stick within my peng I thought of this, Put on your old grey bonnet. But then my thought returning said again. Alas! Alas! you poor and silly fool, There is, you know, a thing call'd copyright! You'd dare, would you, to steal another's tool? You'd place, would you, upon your soul a blight? Oh no, you don't, my fair and rash young dame! I thought, and thought, rethought, and thought some more: My unpoetic soul must be to blame: Is work like this to others such a bore? Imperfect verse, my impotence I wail! I am no Milton but-accept this tale. MARGARET M. COONEY CADUCEUS 53 German Club The German Club was organized in No- vember under the guidance of Miss Rae and Mr. Clamon. The following officers were elected: Jean Cumming, president: Frances Schwab, vice president: Yosinoff, secretary: and Tillinger, treasurer. Meetings were held twice a month with Kelman and Miss Thorton in charge of programs. At one of our meetings we were entertained by Mr. James Edwards who told us of his trip to Germany. We celebrated Christmas in the German manner with song, games, and Kuchen. In May a play was presented called Die Taube under the direction of Mr. Clamon by the following members: Finberg, Miss Schwab, Miss Carella, Sieler, Miss Smith, Yosinoff, McDevitt, Taylor. The Senior Hi-Y A comparatively young organization, the Hi-Y saw its second year at Classical. The election of officers at the beginning of the year resulted as follows: Harold Hyland, President: Richard Starret, Vice-President: Robert Logan, Secretary: Arthur Kelman, Treasurer. Immediately after the installation of officers, the club members set to work on a service project to assist athletics and build up school spirit. During a Hi-Y assembly, Dr. Bigelow of Brown spoke, the club ad- viser, Mr. Curtis Collison, told some of the aims of Hi-Y, and an announcement of the establishment of an annual award was made. The award is to be presented each June to French The French Club. under the able direction of Miss Charlotte A. Wetherell, has had an eventful and entertaining year. At a preliminary meeting the following executive officers were elected: Mary Latimer, president, Robert Bridges, vice-president, Claire Terrien, secretary, and John Cooney, treasurer. The first major event of the year was the Christmas party, at which French plays were presented with Anna Montagano, Sidney Kramer, Edward Finberg, Frank Giunta, and Albert Gerber participating. Muriel Port and Margaret Cooney gave piano and violin se- lections, and simple gifts were exchanged. Robert Burgess, David Bytovetzski, and Louis Willemin, former officers of the French Club, were present as guests. the Senior who has done most in his stay at Classical for the promotion of athletics and sportsmanship. The Harvest dance arranged by the Hi-Y and given in honor of the foot- ball team was a success socially and financial- ly. In an effort to promote a more congenial spirit between public schools throughout the state, the Classical Hi-Y cooperated with the other Hi-Y's in arranging the All-Rhode Island High School dance at Rhodes, at which the most typical high school boy and girl of Rhode Island were selected. The re- mainder of the year was spent in arranging for the presentation of the award, which was to be held in June. Club Valentine's Day was also celebrated in grand style. Prizes were won by Margaret Cooney, June Purcell, and James Ursillo. Donald Remington, a young Drum-Major from St. Charles School, gave a clever baton exhibition. Jean Cumming, John Cooney. Edward Di Muccio, and Louis Yosinoff took parts in a play called Nicette . The closing party was held in May, with games and refreshments. Because it was necessary for Robert Bridges to resign, Edward Finberg was elect- ed vice-president. Members of the French Club all agree that they have had many good times at its meetings and have learned considerable more about conversational French. Drehestra Our orchestra meets each Tuesday, the third period, in the auditorium, under the direction of Walter H. Angell. This year, al- though the number of students is greater, the number of musicians seems to be less. How- ever, we started the year with thirteen violins, two 'cellos, a double bass, one flute, three clarinets, two saxaphones, two trumpets, a trombone, and a bass drum. Muriel Port ac- companied at the piano. This year the orchestra has played at as- semblies, pep-rallies, and at graduation. In spite of the fact that the orchestra was small, several members were added in Febru- ary, and there has been a steady improvement throughout the year. 54 CADUCEUS Hi-Tri The Hi-Tri is a Girl Reserve club which is open to all Classical girls. It holds its weekly meetings at the Y. W. C. A. under the guidance of Miss Dorothy Slocum, of the Classical faculty. At the beginning of the year it was decid- ed to retain the officers of the previous year. They were Evelyn Mazick, president: Mar- tha French, vice-president: Alys Minutilla. secretary, and Helen Vitzkievitch, treasurer. In February, Dorothea Vamvakerides and Dorothy Sorrentino were elected president and secretary respectively, to take the places of the graduating officers. For the past three years the club has held bridges at the Y. W. C. A. to raise money to send delegates to the Mid-Winter and Spring conferences and Summer Camp. Each month girls from the Classical, Cen- tral, Hope, East Providence, Cranston and Phyllis Wheatly Hi-Tris have a joint supper- meeting. In March the Classical girls had charge of the St. Patrick program. It includ- ed piano solos by Anna Ashodian, a tap dance by Evelyn Prince in Irish costume, an Irish song by Martha French, and recitations by Dorothy Sorrentino. In February the club held a candle-light recognition service at which about twenty- Eve girls were initiated as Junior members of the Y. W. C. A. Classical was the first club to hold such a service independently. Formerly they have been held at Inter-club meetings. After the ceremony tea was served. During the past year the club has spon- sored lectures on health and personal appear- ance and good manners, helped the Interna- tional Institute with Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets, and has visited historical places of interest in the city.

Randall. Tuesday evening, January 14, we debated Central Evening High School, according to our annual custom. The subject was, Re- solved: That Congress should have the pow- er to overrule, by a two-thirds vote, all deci- sions of the Supreme Court. Our speakers. Paul Taylor and Henry Hoye. with Florence Goulet as alternate, upheld the affirmative side. and although there were no judges, it was considered by a number of experts that Classical had the better arguments.

The corps was organized when Mr. Charles Sheehan, a member of the Amer- ican Legion Drum and Bugle Corps, at Mr. Paine s request, came to Providence to speak to Classical students about such a corps. Un- der the direction of Raymond Roberts the corps was formed of those who owned or were able to buy their own equipment. Later, through the cooperation of home rooms, minstrel shows and various forms of enter- tainment, bugles and drums were purchased. The corps has played at an inter-school hockey game at the Auditorium, the High School Track Meet, and on a few occasions Science This year. the Science Club, which was organized for the purpose of providing lec- tures for those interested in science, has car- ried on ably without its founder, Kenneth Sterling. As in its first year. there has been no official enrollment or membership. Those who attended regularly the Friday afternoon meetings were considered members of the club. before the school. It made its radio debut on a Classical High School musical program. The uniforms, which were purchased this fall. are pretty swank . They consist of white skirts for girls, and white pants for boys, purple jackets with white braid and gold buttons, purple capes lined with white satin, and, to top it all, caps with a purple and white plume. Mr. Maurice Lewis, who became corps leader this year, has trained an extra corps of drums and bugles, who lack only uniforms. Joseph Jenkins Dellino is Drum-Major. Classical should look forward to a bril- liant showing of its new musical organiza- tion in the very near future. Club Generally at each meeting some well- known scientist addressed the club. Two of the most outstanding lectures were provided by Westinghotlse Electric and Manufacturing Company. They were the demonstrations on air conditioning and the Electric Eye . Besides the meetings. outside work Was carried on, such as the visit to the Narragan- sett Electric Company's power plant. CADUCEUS 57 Senior Play W- H-, . . Back Row Salter, C,urr.in.

The Senior Class presented The Whcnle Town's Talking, a farce in three acts, by John Emerson and Anita l.oos. at the Ciil- bert Stuart Auditorium. April 29. l936. The plot concerns the imaginary and actual love-affairs of Chester Binny, played by William Bellin, and his final triumph over Ethel Simmons, played by the glamor- ous Jean Cumming. Other members of the cast were Arthur Kelman. as Henry Sim- mons. the author of all the plots by which attempts were made to gain the love of Ethel: Sylvia Saltzman, as Harriet Simmons, his suspicious wife: Margaret Sharkey, as Letty Lythe. the refined cinema star: Raymond Curran, as Donald Swift. the pugilist and film director, whose portrayal of sudden bursts of anger were high spots in the sec- ond and third acts: Lester Salter, as Roger Shields, a cultured young Chicagoan, whose cosmopolitan manners were the delight of the ladies: Lila Wilson. played by Martha Erench: Sally Otis. played by Anna Mon- tagano: Florence Umstead, as Annie the maid: Edith Lipsey. as Sadie Bloom. and Edwin Dyer, as the Taxi-Driver. Most of the credit for the success of the play must go to Mrs. Piche, whose capable direction and tireless energy brought the quality of acting to a fine pitch on the eve- ning of the performance. Mr. Brown: Wise men hesitate, fools are certain. Kelman: Are you sure? Mr. Brown: l'm certain. Esther O'Keefe: You remind me of the high seas, Bill Trafton: Vfild. restless, and roman- tic?

Established in March, l933 by Tom Serpa and Owen Gretton to bring the students in closer con- tact with one another and a means of en- lightenment and amusement the Review has in a very short time proved itself to be an indispensable part of school life. The in- teresting stories, the puzzles, the many in- terviews, and of course, the 'lgossipn have given the Review the highest net paid cir- culation of any school paper in the state. Un- der the leadership of Lewis Shwartz, editor in '36, and guided by the expert advice of Miss Bernice E. Sears and Miss Bessie A. Loud, the Review has steadily climbed to a height of popularity which we hope will always be maintained, The staff of the Review thanks you for your help in the past and extends a cordial invitation for your support in the future. -i.

I 60 CADUCEUS My Favorite Modern Poet Anthony Medal Prize Essay, by EVELYN IVIAZICK I have always obtained a special delight from Amy Lowell's poetry, for in it I seem to hear the birds singing and smell the fra- grant flowers which grow in all her verses. Her poetry is like a magic carpet which trans- ports you to a fairyland of color and beauty. As a child. her parents had taught her to love music and flowers, and these childhood ele- ments always remained with her, for it was very seldom that she wrote a verse without including the name of an old musical selec- tion or a beautiful flower. Amy, born in cold New England, desired warmth and beauty: so, although she was in sympathy with this fast-moving twentieth century, she found most of her joy in an earlier age. She loved to picture the swish of the wide. full skirts of the young ladies, the jewels shining from the depths of their hair when the sun found its way there, and she seemed to feel the breeze of their beautifully painted fans. Although ever since she had been thirteen years old she had always had the desire to write, she had not really determined to be- come a poet until she was twenty-eight years old, and even then she did not rush headlong into writing, but studied the art of poetry for eight years. Her first work, A Fixed Idea , appeared in 1912. The next year she pub- lished a book in which she defended the new modern poetry. The ensuing years were spent in expounding her beliefs in the new poetry, in lecturing, and in writing. Although many people were critical and hostile towards her poetry, enough enjoyed it to bring many honors to her. In reading her poetry, I had always tried to imagine what the poet looked like, and in my imagination I always drew a picture of one of the fine ladies that she paints in her poetry. I pictured her as being tall, graceful, with sparkling eyes which avoided all the turmoil of this madcap generation. Imagine my horror when I learned that she smoked black cigars! I could forgive the fact that she was fat, for fat people are so comforting, but I could never tolerate those black cigars. All my romantic dreams went bang, just as a balloon suddenly changes from a something into a nothing upon being pricked by a pin. Well, black cigars or lovely tapering fin- gers, Amy Lowell will always be my favor- ite modern poet. Sh-all We oin in Sanctions? Anthony Medal Prize Essay, by IVIELVIN B. SWARTZ Shall we join in sanctions? If by we the United States of America is meant, and if by joining in sanctions cooperation with the League of Nations in imposing penalties against aggressors with whom we have no national quarrels is implied, my answer is indubitably, No! Questions the opposition: Should not the United States, although not a League mem- ber, lend its support to the cause of peace by collective security against imperialistic ag- gression: should not the United States take part in a crusade against militaristic nation- alism, a force so vicious and destructive that it is capable of terminating the rise of civili- zation? My reply is in the affirmative. But co- operation With the League of Nations in the application of sanctions is not the solution to the problem, is not the means toward the objectives set forth. Why? The answer is ascertained by the observation of the very nature of the League: It is not an organization of men, interna- tionalists at heart, whose very souls are elec- trified with the hope of promoting world- peace and the advancement of civilization. Rather, that body is composed for the most part of nationalists, concerned only in the interests of the nations which they serve, men loyal only to the dictates of those who wield the reins of their respective governments. The Geneva organization is not an alliance of na- tions, bound by mutual fraternal love, striv- ing ever earnestly for the emergence of a bet- ter world-wide human society, dedicated to the betterment of our common status as hu- man beings. To join the League of Nations in sanc- tions is not to exert our moral force for peace on earth. good-will to men, but rather to take sides in the political hotchpotch that is Europe. When the nations of the world make a true effort to dispense with strife and aggres- sion: when each and every nation is com- CADUCEUS 61 pletely disarmed Cas a token of trust for one anotherjz when tolerance, good-will, co- operation, internationalism supplant preju- dice, hatred, strife, nationalism: when there is a league of nations composed of cosmopol- itans and pacifists, consecrated to God's will in the uplifting of civilization: when each nation vies with one another in improving the common weal: then and only then should we cooperate with an international league in invoking penalties against those who dare to break the sacred covenant of the new world- order. In the meantime we must be true to our tradition of freedom from entanglement in foreign affairs. We must proclaim our doc- trine of internationalism, peace, and abhor- rence of war by our shining example of neu- trality, and by our complete aloofness from coniiict and those therein engaged. Such an anti-war policy should be made permanent and mandatory, not discretionary with our chief-executives: it should not be limited to the barring of shipment of munitions to bel- ligerents, but should be expanded to the sev- erance of all connections with warring na- tions: boycotting all imports, barring all ex- ports, prohibiting the advancement of credit. This, in effect, would not constitute align- ment with the League in imposing sanctions against those aggressors whom the League chooses to invoke, but, rather, would consti- tute subjecting penalties against all belliger- ents and all wars to which we are not a party as a national policy. While such an arrange- ment would keep us disentangled from the stew in which Europe is frying itself,it would be the strongest indictment we could draw against war!

Miss Wilson blinked her round, dark, bespectacled eyes, nodded her trim, tightly waved head, and closed the door behind her. She swept over the crowd with a glance. Here one was confronted with all walks of life. This was a modern broadcasting studio. Every day the benches that lined the sides of the wall were filled to overflowing with peo- ple dreaming beautiful drearns, planning great futures for themselves, literally build- ing castles in the air. Few, a pitiful few, ever saw those dreams realized. Hundreds upon hundreds went away, their dreamworld crashing about them, burying them in the ruins. She sighed. I'm sorry, fshe was repeating her cus- tomary speechj, there will be no more au- ditions today. Abruptly she turned on her newly-tipped heels to take her place behind the imposing mahogany desk which stood like a sentinel on duty before the gilt-lettered door bearing the magnificent title, LORD 8 GLASTON BROADCASTING STUDIO STATION SWAZ Slowly the occupants of the wooden benches rose and left the room. Miss Wilson did not look up. It was all in the day's work. Many, many times she had seen them come and go. Are you sure he said no more today? The tightly-waved head jerked up with a start, the round dark eyes looked , straight across the desk. A retort was full upon her lips, but died before it could be uttered. There was something almost tragic about that person before her, something which gave an insight into his character. The man's eyes were deep, black pools, soft and melancholy, his features were almost angular, and his hair waved smoothly over his head. Yet Miss Wilson saw none of this. It was the tragedy of his poor twisted body that Wrung her heart most. Gallantly, yes. proudly, he supported himself on his crutch- es. 'iYes, he did say there were to be no more auditions, but tell me what talents you have, and I'll see what I can do. A smile of relief and joy spread across his countenance. My name is Peter Glendale, and my tal- ent, if you can call it such, is singing. And how old are you, Mr. Glendale? Twenty-three, mam. Twenty-three! The irony of it! He had already lived twice that time in suffering. Excuse me, please. Miss Wilson turned to the gilt-lettered door and entered the room beyond: Mr. Lord-and well he might de- serve that title-sat engrossed in the material before him. She knew how he disliked any- one to disturb him, but that pitiful cripple instilled in her a new courage which made her capable of performing the most astound- ing feats. Ahem! she cleared her throat, thinking how unappropriately she had begun. Mr, Lord, I wonder if you would do me a favor? He raised his head in astonishment. Im- agine the timid Miss Wilson, asking him, the frightening Mr. Lord, to do her a favor! It was incredible! You see, sir, she explained, conjuring in her mind a picture of Peter Glendale to help her go on, there is a person outside with exceptional ability whom I think you ought to hear. She was telling falsehoods! Miss Wilson, the honest secretary. actually telling her em- ployer a falsehood. She blushed. What in tarnation do you know about ability? I-I've heard him sing, and he has a splen- did voice. Another lie! But he must have his chance, even if it cost her her job. I'm very busy now, but--oh tell him to come in! Thank you, sir, she said, wondering why her eyes were smarting so. Peter Glendale was standing by the piano, Mr. Lord was seated nearby, and Miss Wil- son was ready to take down the young man's name and address, should his singing prove satisfactory to Mr. Lord. How she wished it would! If it did not, her employer might think her a base, low creature, to lie to him. The pianist started to play the opening measure, the cripple pulled himself erect, and Mr. Lord settled himself comfortably in hi, CADUCEUS 63 chair. The words of the song floated across the room. Each note rang clear and true. The song was an old familiar one: yet never before had they heard it sung with such feel- ing, such pathosl They sat enthralled. This boy was more than singing: he was living that song. He was giving it a new interpre- tation, a new meaning for them. Rising from his chair, Mr. Lord con- fronted the boy and held out his hand. Young man, he said, you have accom- plished a remarkable piece of work. I have heard many singers in my day, but none, no, none, to equal you. I am willing to sign you. Come into my office. Miss Wilson's heart was singing too. Her knees felt weak, and her head light. She could not have written one single word had she been commanded to do so. She had not lied. He was a magnificent singer. Was it wrong to say she had heard him sing? That surely couldn't be held against her, not now, anyway. Mechanically she followed them into the office. She saw them as in a dream sign the documents which were to open the gate of fame for little Peter Glendale. It was only after the door had closed be- hind him and his faltering footsteps died on the stairs that she realized that he was gone. She wanted to call to him to come back. Why, she did not know. Mr. Lord broke in unceremoniously upon her reverie. I'm going to feature that boy. He has the makings of a great artist. Too bad he's a cripple though, for he certainly is handsome. He ought to go places. He should reach the top. Thank you, Miss Wilson, for telling me about him. You certainly can pick voices, although a deaf man could pick that one, Again Miss Wilson blushed. She was not deserving of all this praise. She had had a hunch, and that was all. A woman's intui- tion, perhaps. She did not see Peter in the days that fol- lowed, for those were busy days for him, but every evening at eight o'clock, when the mel- low tones of the cities' favorite orchestra filled the air, she heard his voice. She never missed it. From time to time there were pic- tures of him, articles printed about him. Each of these was carefully cut out and pasted in a scrapbook especially for that purpose. Miss Wilson lived alone in a tiny down- town apartment. She had no living relatives, and very few close friends. For that reason she was oft-times lonely. But whenever the surge of lonesomeness swept over her, she would rise like the true little soldier that she was, take her hat from the rack, sling her cape over her shoulders, and go for a walk all by herself. It was the only way she had of keeping herself happy and contented with her lot in life. Perhaps she would go to din- ner and a show, visit some place of interest, or attend a lecture and listen to the continu- ous drone of some very uneloquent speaker. It was on one such night that she met Peter. She was hurrying by the studio, when suddenly he stepped before her and raised his cap. Miss Wilson, he said, I owe you a tre- mendous thank you. You have given me something I can never repay. How can I be- gin to tell you? Words failed her. She couldn't answer. She couldn't make the reply which she felt was necessary. She couldn't say anything and make it sound right. She was acting like a silly school-girl. Evidently he didn't expect a reply, for he merely added that he was going in the same direction that she was, and would be de- lighted if he could walk along with her. She moderated her pace somewhat, to make it easier for him. They neared a tiny cafe, which Peter suggested entering. That evening was a glorious one for Miss Wilson. She dreamt of it for days afterward. She treasured every moment of it, and led herself to believe that she was in love with him. In love with a hopeless cripple! The days dragged endlessly on, with never a sight of him, but the evenings brought his voice to her. It was miraculous, the things a radio could do. One day, quite a while after the cafe episode, Miss Wilson resolved to see Peter as he sang. Donning the blue cape and the tiny hat, she went to the studio. Inside she seated herself beside the plate-glass window-and waited. The orchestra struck the opening chords, and Peter limped across the scene. He took his place before the microphone, and turned toward the plate-glass window. There was Miss Wilson, her tiny nose pressed close against the glass, her dark, bespectacled eyes wider than usual. He smiled at her, and sang. Tears glistened in her eyes, brimmed over, and ran streaming down her cheeks. Peter didn't see them, for he was singing, and when he sang he saw nothing and heard nothing but the beauty of his song. He would never hear anything but songs. Miss 64 CADUCEUS Wilson realized it only too well as she looked at him. He would never marry anyone, for he was already betrothed to his songs. Sadly she left the studio and made her way home. The program was not yet over when she reached there. One turn of the dial, and Peter's voice flooded the room. She had that one consolation. He was always at her finger- tips. Perhaps some day when he grew too old for songs, he might learn to love her. From My Window From my window I can see the mighty ocean, Where the waves roll up to meet the rocky shore, Where the breakers kiss the sands in deep devotion, And the sea-gull's cry is heard forevermore. From my window I can see a mossy wood- land, Where a silver brooklet gayly babbles by, Where the trees stand, noble, tall, majestic, And their leafy splendor forms an emerald sky. From my window I can see a flaming sunset. And Night's deep blanket o'er the earth is rol1'd.

CREEGAN CADUCEUS 65 Woman's World George Frederick Lawton, Jr., whistling what might be called a tune, descended the stairs two at a time, pushed the plug into the iron socket, and hastily stored away his 3400 calories. When he rose, he draped a white shirt over the ironing board and frowned at it. Hmmmm , he muttered, lacking the bumblebee's skill, I wonder how you go about it. Guess I'l1 try the collar. George carefully steered the iron over the collar, then gazed earnestly at it. The first half was smooth, but all the wrinkles he had pressed out of the first part had amassed at the end. Sighing patiently, he distributed the wrinkles evenly over the length of the collar. After eyeing the result doubtfully, he started to iron the hapless sleeve. He pressed, and he pressed, and he pressed yet again, but the wrinkles merrily eluded him and skipped from place to place. Starting with two wrin- kles, he strove to eliminate them one by one. The indignant wrinkles invited all their rel- atives to join the battle, and George saw that the two had turned into ten. He decided he needed respite and began to torture that part of the shirt that was soon to adorn his manly shoulders. After a short fight, he reduced it to submission. Thus might the conquering hero feel! Choosing the side panel as his next victim, George slowly rotated the iron over it, leav- ing a trail of tan behind. A groan escaped his puckered lips as he glanced at his watch. The unfortunate shirt was doused under the faucet and wrung within an inch of its life. Then the chagrined lad set to work again. He laboured until he puffed like a steam engine and looked not unlike a dish- rag. Again the slowly revolving hands of his watch received a glare Herce enough to jar the mechanism out of order. Five minutes left! the perspiring youth gasped. l'l1 just have time to make the next car. He mopped the puddles off his face and took a deep breath of satisfaction, as his younger sister sauntered into the room. She glanced at the trade mark on the shirt, examined it critically, then said casually, Thanks, George, old dear. You're im- proving. George had suddenly grown as pale as the shirt. He extended a trembling hand for it and slipped his long arm into the sleeve. He pulled and strained unbelievingly, but there could be no mistake. That sleeve was never made for an arm like his. He cast an agonized glance at his tittering sister and, with a prolonged moan of despair, sank into the armchair and closed his eyes. It was a woman's world! R. C.

CADUCEUS 75 Legend Although I have traveled as a missionary in China, India, and even in the wilds of Africa, and have witnessed many strange occurences, one of the weirdest experiences I ever had took place right here in the United States. I was visiting a friend of mine near Niagara Falls a few years ago when I en- countered the queer old Indian about whom the incident revolves. I saw him first on one of my frequent strolls about the surrounding country, and after that he appeared for three successive days, but always in the same place. My attention was drawn to him by the fact that he was always alone, always mumbling to himself in what probably was the ancient tongue of the Iroquois, and always limping back and forth along the river bank just above the falls. Since it is part of my profes- sion to take an interest in such people, I made inquiries about him, and found that he had been seen around the village ever since any of its inhabitants could remember, that no one knew his name Cif, indeed, he had anyj, nor where he lived fthough it was generally supposed that he had a cabin some- where in the forestj, and that nobody could remember him as being any younger than he was at that very moment! This informa- tion, of course, was all very strange, but it held no particular significance. Suppose he did live alone somewhere in the forest. He was old, Wasn't he? Old people are likely to be queer: and besides, he was an Indian, re- ticent and taciturn by nature. Most' people, I learned, thought he was crazy and kept away from him as much as possible, but somehow he did not appear to me to be a man who was in any way demented. I did discover, however, one fact which later proved to be of great importance. It seemed that the old fellow spent most of his time in seeking out strangers to whom he might tell an ancient Iroquois legend. He never accepted pay for the story and always told the same one! To me, it seemed that he must have some hidden purpose in relating the same legend over and over again, and I was deter- mined to find out what that purpose was! The next day, this time taking my friend, I set out on my regular morning walk. Upon reaching the river bank, just as I expected, we encountered our aged friend. He answered my cheery Hello with a muffled, but pleasant greeting. After a few words about the weather and so forth, he asked me if I were not a stranger in these parts. Of course, I told him I was. Then, said he, you have not heard my legend. And now, dear readers, in order that you may feel the full effect of this amazing story as I did, since I was seated on almost the exact spot where it took place, let me give you a brief description of the setting as it was hundreds of years ago. It was, perhaps, a hundred years or more before white man ever trod the soil of that vast wilderness now known as 'North Amer- ica'. America, the land of the free! Then, in- deed, was it free. Brooks and rivers flowed deep and swift, unchecked by mills or dams, rushing, tumbling their mad wild way to the open sea. Hills and mountains rose tall and majestic, Nature's kings unchallenged by the Works of Man, rearing their lofty peaks into the very clouds, and casting a deep, un- fathomed cloak of darkness over the thickly wooded valleys below. Birds and beasts roamed the forest and plain at will, unhunt- ed except by a few tribes of red men, and that only when necessary for food. The exact spot in which this primitive drama was enacted is not definitely known. but it is generally pointed out as having tak- en place somewhere in the vicinity of Niagara Falls or the lesser falls thereabout, a region which was, if possible, a little wilder, a little less frequented by red men than the rest of the continent in general. However, in the midst of this lonely and desolate place there lived a single tribe of Iroquois, a simple, peace-loving sort of people, who have handed down to civilization one of the most beauti- ful legends of the North American Indians. In the words of the white-bearded, old story-teller himself, it is as follows: Long ago there was said to be among the Iroquois a maiden so beautiful that no brave dared to woo her, for such as she must certainly be of a world higher than this, and beloved of the Great Spirit. And who would be so fool- ish as to incure the wrath of him who has power over all living things? Thus they all thought except one, a brave young warrior called the 'Many-Voiced One' because of his peculiar gift of imitating birds and animals. But, unfortunately the lovely Moon Fawn cared not at all for this boldest of braves and evaded his attentions as much as possible. . 76 CADUCEUS And then, one day, there came from far away, a stranger in search of better hunting grounds for his people, and he also, not knowing the age-old tradition concerning the maiden, fell in love with Moon Fawn. It is said that they met first on the lake when the moon was lifting his golden crest above the towering peaks of Magic Mountain, and launching himself into the blue depths of an evening sky, and that as they together looked into the star-hung splendour of the heavens, the soft, sad note of a mourning dove fell across the deep stillness of the night. Sensing some significance in the lonely cry of this bird, the lovers decided to use it as their love call, and after that the mournful sound could be heard almost every evening, echoing and reechoing among the mountains. 'iBut one evening when Moon Fawn, standing on the bank of a swiftly flowing river, flung the call across to the other side, she was answered, not by her lover, Running Deer, but by Him of Many Voices. Think- ing it to be the voice of Running Deer, she pushed her canoe out into the stream to meet him, but as she stepped into the frail craft, a bright streak shot through the air, and the girl fell lifeless with the arrow of her re- jected lover quivering in her heart! As the tiny canoe carrying the body of the ill-fated maiden sailed out into the stream, it was caught in the vise-like grip of the current and sent hurtling over the falls into the seething waters below. At that moment, Running Deer, who had heard the call of his loved one, appeared just in time to see her disap- pear beneath the falls, and, realizing what had happened, he. too, plunged over the brink to join her. It is said by all who know the story that the unfortunate lovers were reunited in that vast kingdom which is hid- den behind the falls, and that every evening at sunset they can be heard calling to one another above the roaring of the cataract. And every red man who comes to look upon this sacred spot kneels in reverence be- fore this greatest of loves which not even Death could destroy. As the last words fell from the lips of the aged Indian, sitting there before us with bowed head and trembling voice, a queer sen- sation passed over me, as though in the lapse of a mere five minutes or so, I had been transported to some mysterious, ancient world and back again. How dreadfully vivid had been the old man's story! A shiver crept up my spine as I recalled how his black eyes had gleamed, cruelly, savagely, and then filled with tears, apparently of remorse, how his voice had risen and fallen with passion. It seemed almost as though he must have viewed this ancient tragedy with his own eyes! For a moment a chilling fear gripped me. As he kneeled there with the morning sun shedding a ghostly light upon him from behind the thick foliage, he looked almost like a l, but no, I shook my head dazed- ly, things like that happened only in books! .A quavering voice directed toward my friend queried doubtfuly, Do you think the Many-Voiced One very wicked? Very, she replied solemnly. An expression of pain and disappointment crossed his withered features. For some rea- son which I could not understand, I sensed that he wanted to believe that this villain of ancient drama was not so wicked as he seemed. And so, when he gestured silently in my direction, I announced calmly, It was Jealousy, not the heart of the Many-Voiced One, which brought death to these lovers. At my words the aged aborigine fell sob- bing at my feet. Instantly, I knew that what my subconscious mind had suspected was true. His next words confirmed my belief. At last, O good lady, he gasped wildly, Hhas my spirit found rest. For centuries I have wandered, seeking, always in vain, someone who would believe that I did not deserve this horrible punishment, FOR I AM THEVQPIRIT OF THE MANY-VOICED ONE. His voice rose in a shrill crescendo, then broke,- and now, he said softly, I go to my rest. With that he turned quietly and faded into the forest like mist before the sun. No one, as far as I know, has ever seeen or heard of him since, and although it is con- trary to all my childhood training and re- ligious belief, one can hardly deny what he sees with his own eyes and hears with his own ears. Perhaps he was, as many of my readers have thought, only a demented old man who Wanted to create a sensation. Yes, perhaps, but-who can tell? EDNA WILBUR, '37 CADUCEUS 77 Nerves No one would surmise that this was Mr. Glen's first visit to the race-track. Strolling nonchalantly about, with his Haunting palm beach suit, offset somewhat by the sombre looking fedora perched on his head, Mr. Glen appeared to be a daily visitor at the track, probably a successful business man on vacation. The truth was that Mr. Glen, af- fectionately called Blink by his wife, because of his perpetually blinking eyes, drove a taxicab at night. The gay and colorful crowd, throbbing with excitement, did not so affect Blink that he let himself be swept off his feet by its artilicial glamour. He merely disregarded the commotion around him. Determined as he was not to appear a novice, Mr. Glen could not help but gaze curiously at the horses passing into the stalls, which were situated in a low brick building close to the track itself. While riding over on the train, Blink had overheard two men discussing an innovation at the track, the daily double. Bill! Yeh. I'm gonna play the daily double today. Whatl Your nuts. I know it's pretty tough picking two winners. But if any longshots come in, ya get a nice price. Why, it was only last week that I was to the races with a friend of mine. He gets a hunch, buys his ticket, and I'm a son-of-a-see-cook if he doesn't win five hun- dred smakers. Mr. Glen was interested. He started a con- versation with the man next to him with the hope of learning more about the daily double. Cigarette? he offered. Nope. Ever played the daily double? Nope, This your first time at the races? Nope ' Blink gave up in despair. Since it was an early train, there were only a few people on it. Blink left his seat and dropped down be- side a man who looked .as though he might have more than nope to say. This time Blink was offered a cigarette. Splendid day for the races, the stranger remarked. Sure is. Going to play the daily double? Well, I don't know. I might. 'lWhat do you do? Pick the Winners of the first and third races?'f Yes, That's it. The combination is printed on one ticket. Is this your first time out? Yes. Then I wouldn't play the daily double, if I were you. It's hard enough picking one winner, but when you have to pick two- and here the stranger shook his head vigorously. His spirit in no way dampened by the strangers last words, Blink determined to play the daily double, which had captured his interest. Naturally the gamblers consid- ered the daily double as the sucker's para- dise. However, Blink did not take anyone into his confidence when he selected his horses. Suddenly the loud-speaker boomed out, Daily double windows now open. Buy tickets now. Daily double windows close at two-fifteen. Blink glanced at his card again. Charm- ing Eyes, number two, in the first race and Little Boat, number seven, in the third were his selections. He sauntered over to the daily double window and asked for the combina- tion 27. While waiting for post time, Blink studied the selections of the country's fore- most handicappers. Unanimously they had selected his two horses, Charming Eyes and Little Boat, to finish last. Blink, however, seemed not in the least disturbed by their predictions. As the horses lined up at the barrier, Mr. Glen remained composed, in spite of the general excitement around him. All eyes were fixed on the barrier. They're off! roared the crowd. Pounding hoofs, the roar of the crowd, the staccato voice of the announcer had no effect on the immobile features of Blink. Charming Eyes, first out of the barrier, took the lead and never gave it up, flashing by the judges stand a full length ahead of the nearest horse. Blink was idly amused at the groans of the form players. Hearing the crowd whistle and gasp with amazement, he looked up to see what the cause was. Every- body was looking at the daily double board. If Little Boat won, the holder of the com- bination, Gharming Eyes and Little Boat, would be paid seven thousand dollars! When Mr. Glen read this, he blinked. After listening to the music for a short time, Blink went out and had some hotdogs 78 CADUCEUS and coffee. Securing a shady seat, Blink could just about perceive the sun trickling through the majestic trees over by the stables. The horses were at the barrier for the start of the third race. Again the shout, They're off! The horses broke from the barrier. On the getaway Little Boat was bottled up by two horses. But in the stretch he took the rail and battled for the lead with Fire Cracker, the favorite. Both horses finished neck and neck. The judges deliberated longer than usual. Then the Tote board flashed, Little Boat, the winner. Again Blink re- mained immune to the hysteria prevalent around him. A man turned toward Blink and asserted, By God, l've been in the turf game near on to thirty years, and this is one of the few times that two horses with such long odds won on the same afternoon. Blink con- Hrmed this statement with a nod. Having bet on the fourth race and lost, Blink ambled over to the cashier's to collect his winnings. He was thinking about that new cab, the clothes his wife needed, and maybe a new bungalow, too. lt's too good to be true, he mused aloud. Here's the lucky one, Blink sang out, handing the ticket to the cashier. The cashier took one look at the ticket and handed it back to Blink, saying, Scram. Blink took the ticket, looked at it, then walked slowly away. The ticket he held in his hand was 72, instead of the 27, for which he had asked. After the seventh race Blink left the track, having lost ten dollars. He read the funny papers going home on the train. On every side people were talking about the price that Charming Eyes and Little Boat had paid. Blink put his newspaper away to see a man staring at him. Then Blink remembered. He was the stranger who had given him the cigarette. Have any luck? the stranger inquired. No, Did you? Well, I won a few dollars. Not much, though. The daily double sure paid a good price, didn't it? 'Alt sure did, Blink agreed. Blink greeted his wife with a hug and a kiss. Both sat down to an appetizing meal. Mrs. Glen interrupted Blink while he was in the act of stowing away a huge piece of apple pie. How much did you win, Blink? I didn't win anything. l lost ten dollars. Did you have a good time? Pretty good. Not much excitement, though. By the way, Blink, Doctor Seekins gave me the report of the examination you took yesterday. He said you blink because you're nervous. His advice was to consult a SP2Ci2l1Sf- A. THoMAs CORCORAN, '37 The Beacon Shines Sarah Williams braided her silver gray hair around her head and surveyed herself in the mirror. What she saw there apparently pleased her. The shine and sparkle still re- mained in her brown eyes, her wrinkled cheeks still had the color of health, her work- worn hands were rough, get tender, and her firm lips still red and soft. Sixty birthdays old Mrs. Williams had seen, and forty of them here in the lighthouse with George. She walked to the window in time to see her husband's heavy figure, slightly bent with age, working his way cautiously over the rocks that surrounded the lighthouse. A heavy fog was settling: the sky held threatening gray clouds. She watched the waves dashing against the rocks, sending the spray high into the air. She could hardly see a huge boulder in the ocean a few hundred feet away, where, year after year, ships had come to a fatal end. Along the Cape, the fish- ermen spoke with dread of the rock that had ripped apart the strongest ocean-liners. When the lighthouse had been built, the gladness in the hearts of those simple village people showed in their faces as they went about their daily duties. Anxious captains, guiding their ships through Storms, had shouted for joy, when the welcome beacon had sent its yellow ray through the darkness to them. Month after month, for forty years, every night at sundown, the beacon had sent a steadfastly bright ray of comfort to ships at sea. Sarah Williams remembered many nights of anxious waiting and watching, when she had held a lantern high above her head. while George had worked frantically to mend the light. .lust then, George glanced up at her and waved: smiling, she waved back to him. She CADUCEUS 79 turned from the window, and went down the stairs. Suddenly, to her ears came the sound of one in pain. She stopped short, every fiber in her body tense, her ears straining to listen. Yes, there it was again, that moaning cry. Sarahl Sarah! GeorgeI She screamed. Sarah Williams dashed down the stairs into the yard. The brisk, cold ocean breezes loosened her hair from its neat braid and blew it about her face. Her eyes stared, aghast: her hands clenched in suspense. Sarah! The husky voice of George came again. tremulous and forced. George, where are you? she cried. Here, Sarah, here . . . An ugly. stain of blood showed through the gray overalls that he wore. His face was distorted, his whole body quivered with pain. He suppressed a moan as his wife ap- proached. I slipped . . . on the reef . . . and struck a sharp rock, he explained, as she bent over him. Sarah Williams knelt beside her hus- band, and with a firm hand felt his leg. He winced in pain, but did not draw away. We'd better get you to the hospital, dear. Wait here, I'll be right back. He gazed after her helplessly. In the house, Sarah Wil- liams found some cushions. She gathered them up in her arms and hurried toward the ocean. Her fingers trembled as she launched a boat and fixed the cushions comfortably around the bottom. With a prayer on her lips, she helped her husband crawl along toward the boat. His left foot dragged along the ground: each step pierced his body with pain. At last he lay, exhausted, in the bottom of the boat. Grasping the oars, she pulled with the strength of a man. It hurt to look at his face, so ghastly white, the blue veins protruding in his high, browned forehead. His breath came in short gasps. Dusk was falling rapidly as her tired arms drew the boat into the dock at Evansville. She waved frantically and called, Give me a hand here with my man. In a moment three sailors were at her side. They lifted George's unconscious body gent- ly and carried him to a car that stood near. ik wk ak bo- wk fa- ff Pk Down the long, white, clean, corridors of the hospital Sarah Williams slowly walked. The clock on the wall ticked loudly, stead- ily: every now and then, the muffled, rapid footsteps of a busy nurse came to her ears. Then silence, penetrating silence, that seemed to scream shrilly, beat on her mind . . . si- lence, silence, why didn't somebody say some- thing, do something . . . only that bitter loud silence. Her weary feet carried her to a large window at the end of the corridor. She stared out over the dark, storming ocean. She watched the angry waves rolling merrily into the shore. A dense fog was settling, and she could hardly see her tiny boat bobbing on the water at the dock. The fog was thick and dense as it drifted in from the sea and hung like an impenetrable blanket over the little fishing-village. It had begun to rain, gently at first, a half-hearted, steady drizzle, but now, the rain beat down in torrents. The trees on the shore rocked and swayed in a furious wind that blew and whistled in the treetops. Sarah Williams stared at the scene through tired eyes. She looked for comfort toward the lighthouse, but in the darkness only a faint outline could be seen against the black sky. No light was there! Sarah Williams gasped. For forty years, George had never failed: the light had shone each night to guide ships safely to their des- tination. But tonight, when the ocean stormed, she could not let ships grope through darkness with only hope and in- stinct to guide them. The beacon must shine this night. Drawing her shawl closely around her, she ran down to the dock. Again Sarah Williams, launched a boat, grasped the oars and pulled. The wind howled as itl blew the light boat from its path. The waves tossed and rocked the ves- sel recklessly. Sarah Williams prayed. Her wet clothes clung to her body. She was chilled and uncomfortable. The rain stung sharply as the wind blew it against her face. The darkness was enveloping and gloomy. Her muscles were tense, sore, aching. Her head throbbed mercilessly. She let her head fall, her chin against her chest, her arms hanging limply. From the darkness came a quiet, husky, calming voice. It was George. Pull, Sarah, pull. Georgel she called. Help me, help me! A comforting. tender arm on her shoulder, a hand on the oars, and Sarah Williams pulled. Tears of joy ran down her old face as the silhouette of the lighthouse became clear. With renewed strength, she worked the oars, faster, faster. The storm grew worse. the rain beat harder, the wind howled loud- 80 CADUCEUS er, the light vessel tossed higher, but Sarah Williams smiled. For she knew, in her heart, that she was fighting a winning battle. Val- iantly, she struggled to keep the boat up- right. With a prayer on her lips, she pulled into the tiny opening nature had formed, where the boats were kept. In the distance, the lights of a huge ocean-liner were coming nearer. Over the slippery reefs she scrambled. Her hands grasped the edges, and drew her tired body up over the rocks. Down the path she fled. l-Ier steps faltered, she tripped, and fell. Sore, scratched, and bleeding, she drew herself up and flung open the door. She ran up the stairs to the tower and lighted the beacon. A warm, yellow gleam crept out into the darkness, sending a welcome guidance to the ships at sea. The light twinkled, spread, and cast a friendly light. And all through the night Mrs. Williams slept contentedly, a vic- torious smile on her face. ABRAHAM SCHWARTZ, '37 Masquerading New Year's Day! It was the day of the traditional hockey game between Western University and State. Ted Brown and Bob Higgins occupied front seats next to those State rooters. Ted and Bob began to speak to the other three. Stating that the Western team wouldn't be beaten by State, Bob boasted, If they are, Ted and I will crash the Masquerade Party at Kappa Nu Fra- ternity House tonightf' Unfortunately at 9:30 that evening Bob and Ted were being driven to Kappa Nu by three boys who were anxious to see that a boast was made good. There the smooth strains of a popular or- chestra sent many a couple gliding over the dance floor. Bob and Ted, having gained admittance through a back window to the dance floor, were enjoying themselves im- mensely while dancing among the social but- terflies and their escorts. Bob was dressed as Romeo, and Ted as Juliet. You dance beautifully, Juliet, teased Bob. I had an idea Juliet was a Well-known character, but I didn't think I'd see two here, Ted told Bob. Ted pivoted with Bob and saw the object of his last remark. Sure enough, there was an exact replica of Ted's costume. My feet are killing me, complained Bob, after dancing awhile. So Bob and Ted sat out the next few dances in a quiet corner. Then Bob decided to go in search of sand- wiches. Ted was reclining on the sofa when some one entered the corner. Is that you, dear? he questioned without looking up. As he received no reply, Ted hastily jumped up. Instead of finding Romeo, be behld some- body else dressed in a gypsy costume. And pray, who are you? queried a fem- inine voice. I am Juliet, my little gypsy girl, replied Ted. Ted told the gypsy girl that he was wait- ing for his lover, Romeo, but soon he was dancing with her. Bob, while in quest for sandwiches, saw a girl dressed as Cleopatra. May I take Antony's place for the next dance? asked Bob. Well, since Antony has not returned, I'll gladly accept your kind in- vitation, returned the deserted Cleopatra. As the last strains of the waltz died away, Cleopatra recovered Antony and left Bob. In a few seconds Bob found one of the jovial servants making his rounds with sandwiches. After helping himself, he returned to the quiet corner to which Ted and he had previ- ously retired. On entering the secluded cor- ner, he found Juliet reclining on the sofa. She paid no attention to his entrance. Bob set the sandwiches aside and proceeded to shake Juliet, in the hope of waking her. There was an exclamation, first from Romeo and then from Juliet. Realization suddenly dawned on Bob. It was Ted's double, whom they had seen on the dance floor. Goodness, you might as well kill a body as scare him to death, joked the second Juliet. Bob flustered about, begging the young woman's pardon. In another room of the house two other fraternity brothers, a clown and a farmer, sat and talked. These two, finding the party rather dull, were thinking of other ways be- sides dancing to enjoy themselves. As these two sat and plotted, Bob had asked this mysterious Juliet for the next dance. After the orchestra ceased playing their last num- ber, Juliet espied her dancing partner in the corner and departed with him, leaving Bob alone. In his solitude, Bob sat and waited for CADUCEUS 81 Ted to return. Just then the clown entered the corner. 'Come on, ordered the clown, we're go- ing out to eat. Who? questioned Bob. Me and my tapeworm, answered the clown disgustedly. , Bob, thinking that Ted probably sent this clown to get him, decided to follow. As it was getting late and they had promised to report to their three State rivals by 12:00 o'clock, the beginning of the New Year, Bob rejoiced at the idea of finding Ted again. But he was doomed to disappointment, for the clown and farmer had been bribed by the other three to keep Bob and Ted there until at least 1:00 o'clock. After the clown, Bob entered another room, in which Ted was supposedly waiting for him. He was grabbed, stripped of his costume, and locked in the room. The clown and farmer went into the dance hall and danced a while. Later they re- turned to the room and sighted Juliet out- side the door. H Are you looking for some one? asked the two. Yes, have you seen Juliet? The two men led Ted into the dark room. Are you there, Bob? whispered Ted. What are you doing in here? Where's your costume? Who are your two obliging friends? They told me where you were, Ted rattled on. Bob got out of the chair which was near the fireplace in the room and stepped toward Ted. Bob told Ted everything he had exper- ienced since leaving him. After the story was finished, Ted had a good long laugh at Bob's expense. Our next problem, Mr. Holmes, is to find the clothing for you, and the window through which we entered, suggested Ted. Bob next inquired the time, and worried as to whether it was near midnight or not. Ted opened the door and disappeared into the hall. He returned with a small clock and sought the light of the fireplace. It was exactly 11:30. We've got to work fast. Our boast is paid in full only if we re- turn before or at 12:00 o'cIock sharp, said Bob. Ted returned the small timepiece to its resting-place and came back to Bob's tem- porary prison. Both were deep in thought when Ted exclaimed, You wait here until I come back! Don't worry, answered Bob, I couldn't do much else in this outfit. Ted left the room, and was gone for a few minutes. Evidently he had secretly found his way to one of the bedrooms and stripped the bed, for he deposited a sheet and pillow-case upon a chair. What's all this for? queried Bob. You'll see, answered Ted, that's part of my plan for escape. While the clown and the farmer were thinking about the unfortunate Bob in an- other part of the house, a young girl and her escort entered the same room in which they were standing. The clown recognized the one as Peter Pan, and the other as Juliet, the girl he had directed to Bob's room earlier in the evening. i'You haven't lost Romeo again, have you? the clown questioned Juliet. Juliet, remembering the scene in the quiet corner, laughed inwardly and said she hadn't even seen him. This set the two young men think- ing again. They had played the trick on the wrong person. It was this second Juliet's escort who was to be the victim, and Bob had been the object of an innocent prank meant for somebody else. Just then they werel all interrupted by a blast of noise, as the New Year was being welcomed in and the old ushered out. The shouting gave way to silence as two iigures darted through the dance-hall. A figure draped in a sheet and pillow-case, closely re- sembling Father Time, and another in the garb of Juliet were looking for an exit. It must have been the appropriateness of Bob's costume, for the couple were loudly cheered. Finding their way through a darkened room, they soon discovered the window they were searching for. Out in the bitter cold. Bob and Ted found the other three boys and then donned warm coats. The three State men asked all about it. While Ted proceeded to tell them, Bob declared it was the Worst bet he ever hoped to pay, and made a bee-line for the machine. What's the matter with him? the puz- zled three asked. That's Time marching on! shouted Ted, and ran to join Bob.
