In the opening meet, we gained a decisive victory over Trade School, scoring 565 points to their 2l. The team went on to another triumph in the Relay Championships at Hope Field. Our men took first place in all the field events. We then went all the way to Massachu- setts to attend the New England Seaboard Relays. In the two events we entered, we took one first place and a second place. In the next dual meet, an annual encounter with Central, we were edged out by our city rivals, 37-35. The absence of Hickey, Weisbecke1', Costello, and Carnivale, four of our leading runners, was a disadvantage to us. Just before the Interscholastic meet, our boys limbered up by defeating Cranston, 44 to 28. Classical men scored in every event. At the Cranston Street Armory on March 2, the Purple and White was again trium- phant and regained the Class B crown. Scor- ing in every event except the I,O00 yard run, we gained a total of 365 points, a lead of 185 points over St. Raphael, who finished in second place. O'Brien took first place in the broad jump and 45 yard hurdles, and second place in the high jump. Dwyer came ralanluo no. ll lVlorrison, N. Vvfisubecker. in nrst in the dash, Hickey took second place in the A'6OO , and Weisbecker finished third in the l'300 . Outstanding members of the team were Hickey, O'Brien, Dwyer, Kuperman, Carni- vale, Weisbecker, and Morrison. CROSS COUNTRY TEAM Although weakened by the loss of four runners, because of eligibility rules, the cross- country team nevertheless turned in a good performance this season. Meeting Providence Trade School twice, once in a dual meet, and once in the City Meet, the Classicalites de- feated their opponents on both occasions. In the dual meet the score was: Classical 23, Trade 32. They made up for what they lacked in quantity by producing good quality. Latham, Matarese, Swanson, and Costello, the first three seniors, held Burrillville's crack runners to a 32-23 score, and turned in con- sistent performances. In the State and New England meets, due to the absence of the first-string men, the results were not all that could be desired, but in the City Meet, the team redeemed itself, finishing in a deadlock for third place with Central High's Class A team. Yes, it has been a good season, and next year's team will certainly miss its three seniors. Cacluceus Girls' Basketball l I Fxrsl Row Ci. Miller. M XVumIvv.xr41, I. 1Xx.uIm'i.mn.

M C. A., with which it is affiliated. The regular busi- ness meetings are supplemented with games, sports, recreation, discussions, and educational lectures on current topics and on subjects which are of primary interest to the members. Since one of the main purposes of the Hi-Y is to help the school whenever possible, the Classical Hi-Y was directly responsible for introducing the plan of electing pupils for the posts of teachers. This year's officers are: Howard Latham, President. Lucian Himes, Vice-President. John Dorgan, Secretary. William Nash, Treasurer. The club was also ably advised by J. Her- bert Ward. Classical Hi-Tri This year the girls, under the supervision of Mary Annable, the chairlady of the Pub- licity Committee, made all the posters for the football team. Their Service Committee, in charge of Mildred O'Connor, received gener- ous contributions for the Community Fund. They studied personality with the help of speakers on the following subjects: Dress, cos- metics, and posture. The social events of the year were: In No- vember, a very jolly Barn Dance: Christmas caroling: and the Annual Spring Dance. Throughout the year, various other parties were held within the club itself. The officers are: Ruth Freeman, President: Betty Blackinton, Vice-President: Alice Kelly, Secretary: Anne Kearns, Treasurer.

This year the paper aided in making Classical known to Providence by distributing several hundred copies containing a veritable survey of the school to the city's junior high schools. The Reuietc' continued its policy of supporting and publicizing all school activi- ties. Associate Editor Warren Carleen was a leader in keeping Classical in the daily news. Editor-in-Chief Hermes Grillo introduced new ideas in layout this year. and the Review achieved a fourth place in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest, where only a small percentage of the papers submit- ted from every state in the Union are rated. Delegates Warren Carleen and John F. Dor rance represented the paper at the convention. Much credit is due to the able faculty as- sistance of Miss Bernice E. Sears and Miss Bessie A. l.oud. Aiding the hnancial end were business Manager James Montague, his assis- tant Margaret Sweeney, Advertising Manager Harvey Olevson, and his assistant Charlotte Simon, later succeeded by Irma Goldberg. BOYS' GLEE CLUB ln October, Mr. Angell, the director of the Boys' Glee Club in Classical for the past ten years, selected thirty boys who showed promise as singers. Under the direction of Mr. Angell and excellent playing of Lillian Tichman, accompanist, the boys, meeting once a week, progressed rapidly. A selected group of twenty-three voices from the boys' and girls' Cilee Clubs sang Christmas Carols for the Pine Tree State Club at the Church of the Mediator. On December 22, the com- bined glee clubs sang Christmas Carols in the Administration Building and Classical. Solos were rendered by Thomas Jeneshea, Al- phonse Brissette, and Richard Sharkey, who impersonated the three kings in one of the carols. ln the Spring. the Boys' Glee Club presented their annual concert for the faculty and student body of Classical. Their program consisted of two songs, 'AMassa Dear and Flag of Our Fathers . We hope to have another successful season when we resume meetings in October. eaduceus 57 Glee Club liirxt Row The Misses S. Lord, A. Dv Robbio. J. Quattrocchi. li. Clostabilv.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB AND VOICE CLASS This year the seventy members of the Girls' Glee Club. with the Boys' Glee Club, were again asked to sing Christmas carols in our halls and in the Administration Building. Hope Pleyl and Lucia Scola sang solos. The club also took part in the annual spring con- cert, in which the girls sang Music When Soft Voices Die, and ln Italy . Lillian Tichman accompanied the club. The Ciirls' Voice Class, consisting of about twenty girls from the Ciirls' Glee Club who are especially interested in singing, met every Friday during the year. Both organizations are under the direction of Mr. Angell. CAMERA CLUB A few months ago, seven boys, bit by the photographic bug , asked Mr. McLaughlin if he would be interested in sponsoring a Classical Camera Club, which he agreed to do. Thus the club was formed. with no trouble at all. From an insignificant little club it grew to be an important organization of the school. The members were so very enthusiastic that in a very short time the whole school caught the bug . No one knew when or how a member of the Camera Club would pop up and snap a 'ishot at school plays. school dances, sport events, and almost anything that presented a composite picture. Within a month of its incorporation as a club with a sponsor, the group had its own showcase with excellent and beautiful photographs on display. Within two months' time Mr. Brown was the judge of the first photographic contest that the club held. The ofhcers of the club are: President, Russell Webster: Vice-president, Eugene Li- berati: Secretary, Harry Limer: and Treas- urer, Alex Lippitt. In addition to the above the charter members include: Allan Lindsay Harry Peterson, and Max Cohen. v v caduceus First Row I. llnldnmn, lf. Libvrnli. R. Vwfcbstcr, H. linwr, A. Lippill.

The first meeting was attended by many students, all of whom joined the society. Class members of the board were elected as follows: William Mcliiernan, Senior: Mary Hackett, Junior: and Etta Walsh, Sophomore. Officers for the II939- l94OD season are: President, Frimette Silver- man: Robert I-Iaynes, Vice-President: Marion Borod. Secretary: and Sheldon Silverman, Treasurer: Muriel Harris has been named Honorary-Secretary. The first production of the season was presented at Gilbert Stuart Auditorium on November l7, 1939. 'Life Begins at Six- teen, which was the play, was successful after many weeks of rehearsal. A second play is projected for the spring, some time after the dramatic contest to be held at Aldrich I-Iigh School. The society will present at the contest a modern comedy entitled A Cup of Tea. At Christmas the society entertained the faculty at the first Christmas Party ever at- tempted by the club. Two plays, a reading, and musical selections were offered. The plays were entitled Human, by Zona Gale. and 'Christmas is for Children, by Dorothy Allan. Lucia Scola sang: William McKiernan read: and Betty Asadorian rendered a violin selection. Under the direction of a program commitf tee, a different program is presented bi-weekly, consisting of skits. readings, or monologues. and recitations. The Dramatic Society owes much to Mrs. Piche, who has given of her time and effort to place the Classical Dramatic Society on a high plane.

The committee in charge were Mary Kayser, Leslie Philbrick, Thomas Pratt, and Richmond Wier. Our guests were Mr. and Mrs. Paine. Mrs. Brown, Miss Allen, Miss Roberts, and Mr. Gleeson. About six thirty we began to gather in the Mexican Room having finally gotten rid of our parents and secured the family car. For an hour or so we were entertained hear- ing various piano-players, greeting new ar- rivals and surveying the table. Supper was scheduled for seven thirty but due to the mysterious non-arrival of Miss Allen, had to be set back. Mr, Gleeson was finally sent out to look for her and they arrived just as we were finishing our fruit. Supper pro- gressed smoothly enough after that and was followed by short toasts given by Bob Haynes, Dorothy Latham, Thomas Pratt, Mary Kayser, Leonard Sutton, and Richmond Wier, all of whom were introduced by our competent and witty master-of-ceremonies, Eddie Perrotta. The Class prophecy was read by Alec Cameron and all of us, although perhaps not flattered, were certainly amused. Cur social evening was a huge success. We danced to music provided by Mrs. Brown's radio-vic and extras by Miss Roberts. One of the main events was a Virginia Reel in which even Mr. Gleeson was doing some pretty lively hopping! Miss Allen led us in a grand march and, although we got slightly mixed up, we had loads of fun. The festivi- ties also included a floor show. Bob Haynes sang a solo by popular request and the Boiler Room Quartet rendered their own version of Thrivo voluntarily. About twelve we began to leave. But don't for one moment think the evening was over! Most of us, however, got home in time for Mr. Paine's skating party the next afternoon. Sf -'-. 1 1 fiffhx X bx 5.

He is a builder of towers of stone and con- crete, of steel and of iron .... And when the night shadows envelope the tower he has built, a red light glows at the summit-proudly, boastfully proclaiming the height of that tower of steel and concrete. And it seems to be trying to rival the lights that shine beyond-the diamond points that stud the infinite .... And how much more brilliant seems this man-made star-so high above the modest piles of stone and mortar that press to the earth-than those minute jewels a passing cloud obscures .... They are so distant. Many years ago the fathers of the fathers of the men of whose line comes this builder also raised grand piles. They built great towers to reach the sky, They built vast edifices to rival Olympus .... The builder of towers has seen their ruins. He has also seen the heights of Olympus- still magnificent and those same distant jewels on the black canvas of the night which were hid in the imperial glow of the beacons his fathers reared on those piles long ago .... He often forgets that beyond the rosy glare of his own making there gleam other lights: starry lanterns which will cast their ageless light on the crumbled ruin of his towers of stone and concrete, of steel and of iron, and will shine on the proud heights of new towers: taller, more vast. But he can feel the warmth of the glow of the lamps he burns: he can feel the cold of steel he has wrought: he can feel the strength of the stone he has quarried. He has created them, he understands them, he is their master. Then he gazes out beyond and is fascinated by those lights so far out of the reach of the mightiest of conquerors, the most powerful of monarchs. He yearns and wonders . . . then he grasps the cold steel he knows-the rough stone that is his .... A faint pastel shows in the eastern sky. A flood of color, light radiance comes . . . the lights beyond pale and fade ..., The builder of towers can turn out his lamp at will. He does not bow to greater power. He does not bow to greater power-no greater power of Towers than Time. For Time will dim his flaming torch, and he will join the vast cohort that has gone before .... They too were builders of towers . . . they come of a race that cries to reach the unscaled heights. They have seen the towers of the ages crumble. They build anew great towers . . . their labor knows no end but the day when their race shall no more see the starry lights of the evening sky .... HERMES CONRAD GRILLO 1940 SONG OF THE PLAINS Poet of peasantry blood, Fresh from the soil and the seed, Tell us of famine and flood, Sing us a song of the mead. -l When do the summer rains come? Where do they go in the fall? What do the blades of wheat hum, Even when grown big and tall? Why did you come to the town? Why do you turn so aside? Why do you flush 'neath the brown? What are you trying to hide? Listen, I'll answer what's asked, Sing you a song of the plains: Under their faces are masked Stories of hurt and raw pains. Men of the west are inured: Hardship is part of the game- Part of the load they've endured Weathering odds as they came. Hours at work in the soilg Days 'neath the sun in the heat: Drinks at a bar after toil: That is their life 'mid the wheat. Crops are uncertain or poorg Failure's the coin they are paid: Sweat is the thing that is sure- Sweat and the drudge with the spade. Ask not the song of the wheat: Ask not the tale of the rain: Think of the toil and the heat: Think of the sorrow and pain. CHARLOTTE PIEZ eaduceus 65 Anthony Medal Essays The Beauty of A City By HERMES GRILLO The dramatic portrayal of the city as an essentially drab-if volcanic-blemish on the American scene has become traditional. The shadow of the muckrake has leaned across the American city and brought to our view the most despairing aspects of that Titan, The 'irealists of art and literature have held up to our eyes the stark picture of blackened mills, smoke-dimmed skies, tortuous slums. No, it is said, all the tree-lined avenues of a city cannot veil that picture of closely-built mill-houses, or the unrelieved ugliness of waterfront jungles. But we do not have to retreat to the shaded quiet of the city's parks, or to the restful sub- urbs to escape this sordid scene. For the American city has a beauty of its own: a vig- orous, almost frightening beauty. The city is a mural done in the powerful strokes of a master-in an emotional, unpolished style best-fitted to the dynamic tempo of the sub- ject. There is none of the serenity of the countryside, none of the rugged, untamed spirit of a rocky range, none of the even swell of the treacherous ocean in this panel. This is the harsh, soul-stirring beauty of a staccato civilization, modulated by a restraining un- dertone of unfelt power: the angular arms of strident steam-winches beside the sluggish flow of a yellow river: the spurting steam of the railroad yards, and the gray smudges of industry's breath across the evening sky: the discordant roar and confused brilliance of the metropolis, below the eternal quiet of the night sky, and the reddish glow of neon lights reflected on the misty air. This is the sometimes violent, always inspiring beauty of the city. In the beginning there were villages: calm, white New England villages where there seemed to be a peace of the ages. There were busier seaport towns, but always there was time to live, to raise children, to enjoy the soft yellow tones of Spring, the heavy green of Summer, the mauve of Autumn, the cold blue of Winter. But just beyond the line of settlements lay wilderness: forbidding to the weak, the timid: challenging to the strong, the courageous. And then, in the tempestu- ous years that followed, the settlements an- swered the challenge and pushed out, driving the wilderness back: over the mountains, past mighty rivers, across arid deserts, over tower- ing barriers, till the emptiness of a great sea lay before them. And with this restless movement came the growth of industry: slowly at first, and then faster and faster. There could be no opposition-the old were confused, over- whelmed: the reckless rode the wave wherever it should roll. These were the men who had no time for beauty, no time for a quiet talk in the arbor's shade. Their cities were strong children who grew beyond all imagination, who parched the soil, blackened the skies, and devoured the huge masses of workmen who sought these shores. These cities were dy- namic, pulsating, ruthless. The massive piles were huge citadels of the machine age: they saw the blood of strife, the violence of growth. But above all they were the symbols of a rising civilization. Men had fled the oppressive traditions of an old world-where there had been time to see the beauty of things: where time itself had smoothed the rasping lines of man's work. Here they faced a new land: the old culture did not supply the necessary compensation for the world's awakening: here in the new life they turned to external things: to dynamic material development. There was no pause to consider their course: incessant motion dominated all. But the rudeness of these cities they built is the crudeness of a hugely conceived mural: a mural whose artist has been so fired by the vastness of his undertaking, that all the nice- ties of its design have not been carefully worked out. It is filled with the feeling for dramatic color that pervades a young artist. It is filled, also, with the hope of youth. It is the work of a first impulse: there will be time ahead to seek the symmetry of the ideal, to smooth out the harsh lines, to soften the in- tensity of these vigorous colors to more har- monious shades. 66 caduceus Should Art Be Photographic? ' By CHARLOTTE PIEZ Since the time of Cezane, and even before, there has been a feeling rampant in certain art circles that the real purpose of art is to attain perfection of composition and design: that the subject should be subordinated to the decorative whole, even to the point of dis- tortion, or, of elimination of the subject of the painting. In short, it was felt that art should be ornamental only. Imagine, if you can, a book written in the most beautiful English possible, about noth- ing at all: Written in English that is a pleasure to read-provided you do not seek a hidden meaning. Again, imagine a book possessing rhythm and majesty, whose ideas are hidden beneath masses of words meaningless and ir- relevant to the central idea: words which have no apparent connection with anything at all. No, it is evident that some center is needed around which to build beauty, rhythm, vivid- ness, or whatever it is that makes us read a book, and it is the same with painting: an arrangement of cubes may be pleasing to the eye, but it conveys no ideas: it has no real purpose. A subject, then, a reason for painting, is essential to the picture. The only remaining question is: how essential is it? There was a period when artists painted with the aid of a magnifying glass: when a masterpiece was judged by the fmeness of its detail. Then, an artist painstakingly reproduced exactly what he saw. He dared not depart from the model before him: he could neither add nor subtract anything to harmonize with his own feelings. What was the result? He drew a picture of perfect workmanship, fas- cinating to examine because of its complete detail: delightful to gaze at because of its infinite variety. He drew a picture about which people would exclaim, Why, that picture looks exactly like Mamie! or it must have taken simply hours to draw that. Did you ever see so many things in one pic- ture before? Yes, it took hours to draw that: hours of diligent, eyestraining, crimping copying-for what? For a photographic imitation of na- ture: an imitation with no more feeling or imagination than a set of blueprints would have, for such concentration on one thing forces the subordination of all others. Imagine a book in which is set down ex- actly each little detail of the surroundings, of the expressions, of the mannerisms, of the actions of the characters, and yet somehow omits to make any mention of the feelings and emotions of these people, a book which describes minutely each tiny incident and sit- uation, and yet which never goes beyond the platitudes: which never penetrates deeper than the surface, and which almost loses the outline of the plot as a whole, in an endeavor to preserve intact all the details. What could be duller or more uninteresting? A picture, also, which goes no farther would be just as dull: just as uninteresting. for art, like literature, is dependent for its ex- cellence, not so much upon its subject matter as upon the way in which the artist handles it: the Way in which he allows his own indi- viduality to illuminate his subject. TRUCKMENS DINER Wet rings on the counter, and crushed cigars. . . Java and doughnuts-an' make it quick! The smell of fried lard and of chili sauce: Incense of this wayside shrine, and thick With the smell of the oil that feeds those rushing cars On the white strip of road that stretches to the stars. A fan whirrs unfelt in the summer air . . . 'Swamp Fire slips onto the disk, throbbing A raucous and primitivistic tune: 'Cotta get goin' again! . . . Sobbing Into gear, then ten tons roll on again upon That same pattern of motion-endless, on and on. HERMES GITILLO caduceus 67 AURORA BOREALIS By LUCIAN W. HIMES The sight first comes in faint, white light, In rays which shake and dance amongst the stars. They creep in silence, increasing bright, And reach the zenith, in wide, dazzling bars. Serenely move the colored shafts of light, In quietude supreme: no sound that jars, Disturbs the beauty of this sight. So God reveals Himself to stars and me. THE MIDNIGHT LINER TEMPUS FUGIT! Across the blue-black midnight sky, When I was young, not yet fifteen, A silver liner's flying high. I longed to say: Why, I'm sixteen. The bright lights on the wings and tail Just sweet sixteen and yet unkissed, Seem like three meteors blazing trail. I did not know what I had missed. But when I reached that golden stage Motors, so huge and marvelous, . And thought that I had come of age, Force it away from the sight of us, Alas, alas, my dreams so wild- For, with its phantom candlelight, My idol thought me still a child! Quickly it wings off through the night. But now, long past is youthful sheen: WILLIAM W, NASH Last month my age was seventeen! FRIMETTE SILVERMAN MY SHADOW Upon a mountain crag I sat, Above the swirling clouds that formed A bank of misty gray. For fear Of falling through the tenuous floor To earth below, as one in trance Bereft of self-control, I clutched A scrawny scrub as if to anchor My very life. Above my head, Upon the semi-fluid screen Below, the sun athwart my shoulder My haloed shadow, rainbow-hued, Projected into eerie space! Almost a miracle it seemed To be thus part of Nature's great Infinitude. LUCIAN W. HIMES i LABOR UNION By MARY ANNABLE Each day from school I plod my weary way, Homeward bound to study for another day. Bowed down with all my books and texts galore, I wearily approach my cottage door, And far into the shadows of the night Hopefully strive and try with all my might To master English, French, and other lore, That I may walk with diplomatic pride through Classical's front door! 68 caduceus The First Attempt With a gush of air the elevator door slowly rolled back and stopped. A pair of brown oxfords came out from the back of the car and stepped out into the corridor. Although they were well-shined, they showed the marks of belonging to a youth, by being scuffed at the toes and heels. In addition, their size Cabout a 10155 indicated height. As they turned about, from a good six feet above, a pair of blue eyes lighted on a sign. The shoes began to move: the long arms in a neatly pressed dark brown suit started to swing. A youth followed the arrow on the sign . . . This way 670-699. Head up, eyes forward, he walked with long strides down the corridor. His eyes, as they followed the signs on the doors with a sharp look, shifted from side to side. He looked determined, but his lips, slightly apart, betrayed fear. The numbers on the doors grew higher and higher. The walker, although he did not decrease his speed, appeared to be hesitat- ing, to be drawing back-to fear something. Yes, just as the eyes, the lips had indicated, he feared something down that corridor. He dreaded it so much that the lights and the walls appeared vague in his sight. Even his own act of walking was not felt by him. To him, his heels which clicked hard on the tile floor, hit air, for he did not hear them. His mind wandered. He saw Mary Lee stepping out with Bill Bell in Bill's car, a fifty dollar jaloppy . He saw the speaker at his graduation last week, who told the graduates to work and to make the world a better place in which to live. He saw faces, hundreds of faces in the graduation audience. his mother's, his father's: they were all look- ing at him. Yes, those faces, They chased him every- where. They annoyed him during the day, and even in his dreams at night. They im- pelled him down that corridor. He must get a job: he had to. He must at least try. The numbers continued to roll by: 692, 693, 694. The next door was the place. Thats' what the ad in the paper had said, Room 695. But, oh, how he feared the idea of selling. All his life. since the time as a child he had been scared by Old Maid Higgins, he had dreaded selling. Then too, how he feared that hard-boiled business man, a man whom he had never seen, but whom he felt sure he would meet. He stopped. He gaped at the door's num- ber, 695 : he had seen it for the past forty-eight hours. A moment he stood there: it seemed like a year. That door, he must pass it: he must go in. That speech he had prepared, what was it now? Oh, how hot and dry he felt. Yes. Yes, that's it: he would go out into the air, cool off, and then go in. But no, if he did, he wouldn't come back. He must go in now. He had to. But could he? Suddenly, the brown shoes began to move. The door, 695, slammed: the corridor was empty. JOHN BREEN ON COOKING AN EGG A parody on Arceus Exit by Austin Dobson I intended it poached, And it turned to an omelet. To the stove was it coached,, I intended it poached, But it slipped, and I crouched, Oh! it broke like a bomblet: I intended it poached: And it turned to an omelet. RICHARD E. PAUL i. . - The Almighty Decides Here's to victory! democracy! Jeanie! Ma! The toasts were uttered by reckless, melan- choly voicesg voices perhaps which, after to- night, would never speak again. Tonight the 375th regiment was enjoying its last leave before going to the front. The front! A living hell on earth! There, the water, in places, came up as high as your knees, mud was a foot deep, the lice infested your body till you plunged into the muddy water, and then the mud would bake on your fever- ish brow in the hot sun. The front! It sym- bolized a paradise for germs, filthy food: the front: where shells were bursting on all sides. men were dying, days were full of terror, and the nights provided little or no sleep. These were the thoughts that circulated in the mind of Dick Crowley, as he sat in a dis- tant corner of the cafe. His ears were mute to the hilarious actions of his comrades. He was thinking: thinking of home, of Joyce, the girl to whom he was engaged, of his mother, whose voice he could always hear, and of pa, who was at that moment reading Dick's last letter. The latter part of it read: A'We go to the caduceus 69 front on the 18th for two weeks. In case anything happens, please give my love to Joyce and to the rest of the family. Good-bye, Dick. There was a blot at the end of the word happens, where Crowley's pen had stopped for a moment. He had been thinking. Was he afraid? No, he wasn't scared, just a little nervous! No! he was afraid, he didn't want to be killed. Was he a coward? Yes! No! he wasn't yellow, he was just young, he wanted to live, to enjoy life: he couldn't help it. The next morning the regiment was as- sembled, and the men boarded a train. They were packed in like sardines, the air was bad, and the cars had been formerly used to carry cattle. After a two-hour ride, they reached their destination: at night, they were already in the trenches. A day later, at midnight, a scouting party was sent out into No-man's land. Four hours passed: no one returned. Not a single member of the party ever returned. The next day brought only more death. The front was continually shelled. Conn and Burger, two of Crowley's companions, were blown to bits in front of his eyes. An arm, torn from a soldier's body, lay before his feet, the hand holding a locket in a vice-like death grip. Low swooping planes dove crazily at the trenches, raking the ground with bullets. The sight made Crowley sick to his stom- ach. He cowered against the side of the trench, to protect himself against flying frag- ments of shells. On his way to the officer's quarters, a direct hit buried thirteen men alive in an underground station. No wonder he was nervous and exhausted. Four days had passed. The night of the fifth day, Crowley was stationed on sentry duty. A few hours passed. Suddenly, a bullet whistled through the air, and took a piece of Crowley's shoulder with it. At the same time. shadowy forms slowly writhed through the barbed-wire entanglements. Crowley crawled on hands and knees back to the trench. His shoulder pained terribly. At last, exhausted, he practically fell into the dugout. He warned his superiors of the approaching enemy, and fainted. Later he witnessed the slaughter of thirty- five of the attackers, after a barrage of hand- grenades had killed thirteen men in his own regiment. Crowley was almost deaf from the thundering roar of the artillery, his brow was hot with fever, and he couldn't move his arm. Oh! The glory of war. The following day, when the boys went over the top, he was forced to stay behind, because of his injured arm. Crowley's face turned pale when he heard the disastrous news of the offensive drive: it had failed. As Crowley's wound healed, his courage decreased. He shook like a leaf every time he heard the discharge of a cannon. He was afraid, scared to death. He knew that he would take part in the next offensive. Would he go over the top? No! He wouldn't, he thought to himself. Yes! He must! He could not disgrace his family. His father and grandfather had been brave fight- ers. He wouldn't be shot for being a coward. Desertion was impossible. The more he thought to himself, the worse he became. The offensive was not far off. At last the hour arrived. The 375th regi- ment, what was left of it, was going to ad- vance, accompanied by the 144th infantry of the Scarlet Division. The men were armed, and were awaiting the final whistle, which would announce the charge. The longer the wait, the more horrified Crowley became. He was still debating with himself, would he advance into almost certain death, or would he remain behind as a coward? This was al- most impossible. The oflicer put the whistle to his lips. The soldier had to decide now. The shells were bursting on all sides. After the horrors Crowley had seen and had been through, this terrible hesitating was not unusual. The commander inhaled. Crow- ley's ears awaited the shrill cry of the whistle, he had to decide now:-but he never heard the whistle. All was quiet on the Western Front! LoU1s HOFMANN SEA-SONG The mist comes creeping from the sea, Creeping, sneaking, stealthily. It swirls and curls around the rocks, Hiding all the things it mocks. There from the deep, the fog-horn wails, Now it hides the sun-stained sails. The wind howls through the murky dark, From the shore a dog's rough bark Is hailing dawn with canine joy- As from the fog gleams the bell-buoy. JANET SANBORN 70 caduceus Spring l It was a spring day according ro the calen- dar, but not according to the thermometer, which read 19 on that Saturday. I was sitting, reading, in my favorite chair in the parlor when I was disturbed by a footstep. I glanced up to see my mother looking at me with that peculiar gleam in her eye. She always looks at me like that when she wants me to do some manual labor. Joe, she said, You can see by the calendar that spring is here. We must start our spring-cleaning early this year, If we work together, we can do everything in one day. Suppose you start by raking up the leaves and rubbish in the yard. Oh, ma, are we going to start that again this year? I groaned. Guess I'll have to get the ice-pick to loosen them first. Well, I raked up as many leaves as I could, nearly choking when I tried to burn them. After about an hour of back-breaking labor I returned to the house to find my mother and sister busily engaged in making my life miserable, My favorite chair was crowded with objects d'art, my favorite novels were burned, and the sanctuary of my room had been violated by my sister, who had yanked several pictures off the walls because they were discolored and dusty. After I had beaten about fifty rugs, cleaned the cellar, painted the dog-house, and washed the windows, I stag- gered into my sister's room, as yet untouched by my mother's eager fingers. At last I've found thee, oh restful rocking-chair! To add to my ecstasy, there was a new cushion on the rocking-chair. Blissfully I sank into the waiting arms of this inviting piece of furni- ture. The next minute I leaped into the air, howling with pain. My sister dashed in and shouted, What happened? I don't know, I answered, I simply sat down on this new cushion on your rocking- chair. You poor fish! That's no ordinary cush- ion. That's one of those new folding pin- cushions. Tried in dignity and hurt in feeling, I limped into another room. I was looking for you, beamed my mother. I should think you would give the car a good cleaning. Well, all right, I answered sourly. Where did you put my overcoat and fur gloves? Bah I By now I began to think the Emancipation Proclamation wasn't a very effective law. At last, covered with dust, and arms tired from rubbing the wax I had put on the car, I came into the house. I resolved to stop at the nearest filling-station at the earliest opportun- ity and have my elbow grease changed. I de- cided to have my supper, listen to my favorite Saturday night serial, and go to bed. Now that that's finished, said my mother, as she spied me crawling into the house, 'Ayou may drive your sister down town for her Easter shopping. My dear mother did not realize she had just condemned me to about an hour's tor- ture, more commonly called stop-and-go driving. I returned home, wishing fervently that there were fewer cars or more considerate drivers. The ticket I received for illegal park- ing didn't help to elevate my already dis- heartened spirit. All in all, I had my supper cold as it was, missed my radio serial, good as it was, and-well, rather than think black thoughts, I'd better go to bed before I drop in my tracks. You'd think they'd get a husky from the employment oflice instead of killing me. Glancing at the thermometer and then at my mother, I decided I would put some coal on the fire. I was so exhausted that I forgot to put on the cellar light, and consequently went down the stairs very fast. If our track coach at school had seen this exhibition of hurdling, I reflected ruefully as I picked my- self up. Need I say my thoughts were as black as the Stygian darkness. I said good-night to my mother, who was knitting serenely, and trudged wearily toward my bedroom. JOSEPH USKOVICH 1l MEMORIES Memories, they come and go, They leave us like the melting snow, They come and dance upon our brain, Until we wonder if we're sane. They come and just remain awhile, Merely enough to leave a smile, Come and console me when I'm sad, And bring me thoughts to make me glad. Oh memories, come, come again, Unending solace thou hast been. LILLIAN TICHMAN caduceus 71 Eighteen You couldn't see his face, because his coat- collar was turned up, and his hat pulled down just far enough to hide his features. He sank down into his warm overcoat, not because he was cold, but because he didn't want to be recognized. He seemed lonely and frightened. Everything was planned to the minute: there was nothing to be afraid of. He had thought it over from every angle. But what would he do if the fellows found out? Would they squeal on him? Oh! but everything was going to be okay: he knew it was. He looked up at the sky then. The moon was so bright that it paled every star. It seemed to be a huge spotlight casting its light directly on him, and pointing him out to every passer-by. He wondered if he looked like a crook. He hoped not, even though he felt like one. Well, it was too late to turn back now, anyway. Holy smoke! wasn't that Pop Wagner, the cop on the beat? What would he think of him if he knew?-And after all the years Pop had known him. Aw shucks, Pop would understand and- Then he calmed himself: he know, with- out looking again that it wasn't Pop Wagner. He had timed everything just right. Pop was always on the other side of the block at quarter past. At just 10 past seven every night, Pop would finish his inspection of the bank, make his call to headquarters, then con- tinue his beat. It was 7:15 now, Pop wouldn't be back for 15 minutes: just time enough. If he only had a car, it sure would come in handy. He would have borrowed Pete's, only Pete's father and mother might ask embarrassing questions. He began to walk faster, with more de- termination, he felt surer, less frightened. Everything was going to turn out all right, it had to. Gosh! this was an awfully im- portant night. The moon still shone bright and clear, it made him feel small, insignifi- cant, when he looked at it. He wished he was somewhere else, anywhere but here. Gee whiz! he was almost there. Just a few more steps, and then. Now he was nervous again. Had he mis- calculated Pop's time? He was there, he stopped: then he remembered: this was Pop's night off. Oh! what a dunce he had been, all that careful planning for nothing. And anyway, what if Pop and the fellows did find out he had a date with Mary? Wasn't she the prettiest Junior in school? Huh, after all, he thought, as he rang Mary's bell and heard her step in the hall, I'm eighteen now, I'm a man. WILLIAM DWYER T SMOKE Shadows of the night have fallen, Man at toil his day has spent.

And smoke rises Silent, stately, Filling the air in its slow ascent. Glory beckons crazed dictators: At their orders men kill men. Cannons strike with sickening thud On trenches dug in every glen. And smoke rises Silent, stately, Filling the air in its slow ascent. While in holy benediction Heads in prayer are lowly bent, Incense burns with pleasant odor Making sinners sins repent And smoke rises Silent, stately, Filling the air in its slow ascent. Life is brief, and lives are many, Houses burn, but men build others, Wars are fought, and lost, and won, God shall call our praying brothers. Yet smoke keeps rising Silent, stately, Filling the air with its slow ascent. COLOMBA SIMEONE 72 caduceus A Roman As I ground my plane on the hill of Old Rome, I see a taxi chariot approach, and I am driven to the Hotel Temple, which is directly opposite the Colosseum Club. As I glance out the window, after having taken my siesta, I notice a sign outside the Colos- seum Club reading: Jam Session Tonight. Come one, come all, ye Romans! Featuring Nero, the famous swing-fiddler, and his killers. His music is so hot that it sets Rome on fire. This announcement interests me: so I make my plans to attend. At night all the jitterbugs such as: Caesar, Cicero, Catiline, Anthony, Cleopatra, and many more of our old pals are here. Of course every important person attending re- ceives a fanfare. Here are some of the various songs played when the hep-cats arrive. Caesar- I'm Building Up To An Awful Letdown . Cicero- Why Don't You Practice What You Preach? Cleopatra- Lady, Be Good . Anthony- Love Is the Sweetest Thing . Scipio Africanus- The Sheik of Araby . Brutus- Faithful Forever . Virgil- Beautiful Dreamer . The first number of the program is Augus- tus's solo, dedicated to Cleopatra, The Little Red Fox QN'ya n'ya ya can't catch mel. As the evening passes, the music becomes more fiery. Everyone is in the groove now. There go Caesar and Calpurnia swinging into the Lindy Hop, and Augustus is simply grand doing the Monopoly. Now it's intermission time, and the musicians rest for a while, and they have a drink of Falernian Wine. Meanwhile Nero goes outside for some fresh air, and to see how Rome is getting along in the bonfire of events. As he gazes out into the night, his eyes fall on an attractive speciman of femin- inity. He tries to make connections with her, but she scorns him indignantly. He under- takes a more tactful method: he approaches the young lady and says politely, Pardon me, Puella, but haven't we met somewhere before, at the arena wrestling matches, per- haps? She seems to comprehend quickly, so she replies sweetly, Oh you mean the match between 'Slapsie' Marcxie Tullius and 'Butch' Aurelius? Yes, now I remember you. Nero finally persuades her to join the jamming jitterbugs in the club. am Session The dancing is under way once more, and the spotlight in the finale falls on that promis- ing young drummer in the band, Genius Krupus. When the last note of the music has sounded and the last step has been danced, the lights are dimmed. The Colosseum is now empty and barren. GRACE PIROZZI M.,-..l.L.i..- THE 8:00 O'CLOCK CLASS I think that I shall never take A class that does my slumbers break. I used to sleep till middle morn, But now I rise at crack of dawn. A shirt, a coat, a pair of pants My father calls, my mother rants. A hurried meal I must force down, Then run to catch the car down-town. At last I dash into the school, Both running, panting, like a fool. Oh, what is this! Another test? Where does that teacher get her zest? She starts to preach, I'm in no mood Upon my awful mark to brood. I merely wish she'd go away, And let me sleep away the day. I hear a snore, around I peep And see some blissful lad asleep. And so it goes the whole year through, Until you wonder if you're you. And so I hope you'll all agree To not take trigonometry. ROBERT WALKER -,l.M.Ml-i WAR Back in 1938 A.D. Cicero was at war with me, But I won the victory, For my teacher gave me My next foe was geometry. A mighty enemy was he. Luckily I got a C , Otherwise, woe for me! In my vernacular of war Delinquents are the bloody gore. A test is just a poisoned dart, Piercing through a pupil's heart. The final exam is the battle royal, Graduation is the spoil. If this battle is sustained, A diploma will be gained. MARY HOPPER caduceus The Man With The Art Catalogue CWith due apology to Edwin Markhamj By HERMES GRILLO Cowed by the threatening reds and blues he stands, A victim of the cubes and angled forms That start from out their frames with devilish hue. Who made such things, such monstrous forms Of paint and brush, with madman's eye? What means this canvas dubbed by unchecked hand l'Of Cabbages at Play , and numbered thirty-six? Whence came this Fright, from what strange land? Is this the revolution of the arts That the masters labored long to build? Or is this but the work of fools, Of some ungodly, scofling guild? Silent and awed he stands and gapes, And strives with catalogue and prep school art To visualize The Train in such a smear. . . . He doesn't dare to turn and leave this madman's mart For fear that intellectuals there will sneer At the stupidity of bourgeois fools . . . He raptly smiles and clucks with knowing air And gazes at a group of nudes and pools Which look more like a pile of onion skins Some careless cook has left out in the sun. His shoes begin to squeak: his ears turn red As every eye is turned upon this Hun. Who is this man, barbarian who grins Before this wondrous gem of soul and mood: This fantasy of Motion Lost in Space ? Who is this trespasser, this brute, so crude? Benumbed and tired he makes a slow retreat Beneath the icy glare that stares him down .... What can this thing of planes and shapes and hue Be that it makes a man like him a clown? O, ye of all climes who wield paint and brush, How will you answer his blunt question when In frenzied wrath the worm will turn and ask, Why do you trifle thus with minds of men? How will it be with cubists and their like When Ax in hand this meekest man will shout In thund'rous voice: These salons must be barred To keep the nuts within-the sane without! - THE CAT The cat comes stealing thru the glade: He hears a sound: he crouches low, Each step is placed with cautious care. His sleek black coat gleams in the sun. A tiger on a jungle raid He leaps to strike, and with a blow Would creep just so from out his lair. He kills his prey-the mouse is won!

There once was a girl named Celine, Who wanted to drive the machine, But she sat down and cried When her father replied, Then, of course you will buy gasoline, There was a young heartthrob named Benny, Who hadn't a thought worth a penny: When he saw a curl, He blushed like a girl, And rushed where they didn't have any. There was a young fellow named Joe, Who kept all the girls on the go. Serenading, one night, He got into a fight, And now he is nobody's beau. There is an old schoolhouse on Pond Street, In scholastics it never can be beat. Its yellow brick wall And the patch in the hall From our memories ne'er will retreat, There was a fellow named Potts, Who sold weasel wraps in large lots. He soon got the measles, And so did the weasels, Now, the wraps are all covered with spots. caduceus There was a young man named Ned, Who, just before going to bed, Ate very much Of cheese that was Dutch And, when he waked up, he was dead. There was a young lady named Pat, Who wore a bird cage for a hat, But, HE thought it absurd, So, he bought her a bird, And now the bird's caged in her hat. There was a small man from the East, Who ordered a magnificent feast: When they asked, Can you do He said, Yes, and I'll crown it With two gallons of ice cream, at least. There is a man named Kaye, Who makes you swing and sway, His manner's so smooth You can hardly move: Wn it? n So, next day it's your lessons that pay. There was once a girl from Fall River, Who went to the store for some liver, She slipped, coming back And fell on a tack, Now, always, she rides in a flivver.

American Biography Class In keeping with Classical's tradition of un- limited opportunities for advance study, an American biography class is now oifered to those students who are interested in famous American leaders of the past and present. This course was designed to give the stu- dent a more intimate view of American his- tory after the Civil War through a study of the more important figures of that period. This idea was aptly summed up by Carlyle when he said, The history of the world is but the biography of great men. This class is offered to a group of post graduate students under the guidance of Mr. Paul Gleeson. The course of study is as fol- lows: the period from 1865 to 1940 is di- vided into four units, and the students read selected biographies of the social, political, and economic leaders of each unit. Then the students make oral reports on the more im- portant events in the lives of the various men studied. Thus while absorbing American history the students gain valuable practise in book reviewing, public speaking, and note-taking. The subject material is arranged so that each student is familiar with all of the men studied, and the class is often the scene of lively de- bates in which the students defend or attack the actions of some famous politician or finan- cier. The class also keeps abreast of current events, as a period each week is devoted to a discussion of national and international news and of recently published books. L. W. CORNELL caduceus I.

Freshman News We, the Freshmen of Classical High, wish to thank the Seniors for their part in showing us how a Classical student should act. Their helpful service of relieving us of our excess change just before the Senior Play has shown us that we must give-and like it. However, all joking aside, their cooperation in answer- ing the puzzling queries of Freshmen has helped many a stray pupil ind his cage dur- ing a changing of classes. Four Freshmen from 9R came a long way to receive the benehts of Classical-all the way from Wallum Lake, Greenville, Johnston, and Harmony. 9R also proudly possesses two of our four drum majorettes, who have done line work this year, and will do even better next. The largest number of 9B's from any one school this January was 18- from Gilbert Stuart Junior High. Who's who among Freshmen: Among the 9B's this year we ind a pair of twins. They are Billy and Charlie Make- peace, and if you can distinguish between them, you are doing fine, because they are like peas in a pod. You didn't know we had a celebrity in the class. It's Lorraine Kenney. She's Ruth Hussey's cousin. There's a temperamental musician in our midst. Come on DiOrio, take a bow. This and that: ln a certain assembly some officers of the Fire Department addressed us concerning the hazards of Hre. As a result, we have decided to refrain from smoking while we sleep . . . whether in bed or in the class-room. Hitler has nothing on Mr. McGlinchey. Every so often he puts his Room 22 captives on a silence spell. Oh well, they'll get used to lt. In a 9B Algebra class the teacher stated that any number divided by zero was equal to infinity. The next morning Marilyn Hindle related to the class that she had divided a ruler by zero for hours, but she still had one ruler. From her 9B-3 Ancient History class Miss Haynes learned a new definition of an Ori- ental. According to O'Leary, he's one who makes opium. A certain ninth grade home-room teacher just can't get along without keeping half of 9A-2 after school nights. Does age make a difference? 21 supports the theory that, after all, Seniors are still only in high school. And Joe Rice from 23 certainly isn't awed by Seniors. He chats with them daily in baby talk. Louise Reilly certainly has that fighting Irish spirit. But why aim so high, Louise? The odds are much too great. We're all wondering: Whom Nancy was thinking about when she wrote, Dear Jane, I wish lm- would take me to the track meet , What Freshman girl's heart goes pit-a-pat when she meets Alton Chick in an orthodon- tist's ofHce: ' What has LaSalle that Classical hasn't: CSee Mary Blackj What girl spends all her time thinking of a wavy-haired Senior. Her favorite song is the St. Louis Blues: caduceus 87 Whose complexion matches her hair when Julian is mentioned. Whether it's hearts or daggers passing be- tween Steve and Barbara: What Science teacher refused to accompany Room 23 Girls into a dark closet, but accepted an invitation from an all girl room-SR: Seen around school: Louise looking and running.

Information please! Char-Anne would like to know who has been sending her those poison-pen letters signed by The Observer.

Mr. Huling tells this one about the student who when given the description of a transit and told by the teacher it was something you look through, looked bright and answered 'lOh sure, you mean a transom. Lough's comment on Canto Fourth in The Lady of the Lake, Her lover killed her brother because he loved her mother. At least he has a vivid imagination. Mr. Huling giving Peters a hint as to what sign should be placed in front of the loga- rithm, You should be more positive about your answers. 10B Gossip: Why is Jacob Hagopian casting his eyes upon a certain blonde, name-Mary Rounds?

We have in our midst some of the school's outstanding athletes, practically all the cheer-leaders, and, of course, scholars: Room 12 boasts of harboring our track stars: Dwyer, Hughes, Fratantuano, O'Brien, and Weisbecker.

If you find little Jerry Foster in the waste basket, just pull him out. Billy Spear has a habit of putting Jerry there when he gets in the way. What happened to the goldfish one of Mr. Fisher's students brought into school one day? We hope no one swallowed it. Here's one for Ellery Queen: Why is Agatha wearing a LaSalle pin when her heart interest is supposed to be at Classical? Would that be properly titled l'The Adventure of the Booster Pin, or What Happened to Billy ? What is it about the past definite in French that completely baffles Quinn? Sydney Wexler had the mor- bid idea of asking some unknowing sub- stitute for a black slip, but lost his courage when he looked at the sub a second time. Now Jack Dorgan is Rosalie's victim. Whom will she conquer next? Do Irma and a cer- tain boy really do their German homework together, or is it just a coincidence that they always have the same mistakes? As sure as a clock, all through the year, Jean signified 8:45 by her breathless arrival in lR. STUDENT DAY On December 21, 1939 the students of Classical took upon themselves the manage- ment of the school. This was the first time that anything of this sort had ever been tried at Classical, but before the appointed day was half over, everyone knew the plan to be a success. The idea originated in the Classical Hi-Y and was presented to the school through the agency of an officer of that club, Rules and regulations governing the preliminary and final elections were worked out by the Hi-Y and a Semi-Student Council. After about a month of intricate procedures and elections, a principal was finally chosen along with the new members of the faculty. The principal, Carl Holmberg, gave special recognition to two members of the Regulat- caduceus 89 ing Council , Lucian Himes, and William Duggan, for the fine Work which they did dur- ing the elections, by appointing them his vice- principals. Many visitors arrived throughout the day, and, after having been conducted through various classrooms, left the school, convinced that the project undertaken by the Classical students was a complete success. The student-teachers carried on admirably, while the student body, in perfect response to a plea sent out by the Regulating Council at the beginning of the day, behaved and co- operated even beyond the wildest expectations of the optimistic Mr. Paine. The most important results of Student Day are included in the following list: 1. The students proved to themselves and the faculty that they were really cap- Ideal C lassicali te able of serious thought and action whenever the time demanded. 2. Many students received training in ora- tory and citizenship. 3. Classical proved to Rhode Island the progressiveness of both students and school policy. 4. There was created in the mind of each pupil a definite understanding con- cerning the work of a teacher and thereby an appreciation of that work. Above all, praise should be given to the Classical Hi-Y. For, not content with mere- ly presenting the idea to the school, the Hi-Y became the driving power behind the whole affair, and bore the brunt of most of the work which arose. anuary Superlatives Most Likely to Succeed Best Scholar Did Most for Class Most Versatile Most Popular Best Looking Best Natured Most Athletic Best Dressed BOYS LLOYD CORNELL LLOYD CORNELL ROGER GAIONI LLOYD CORNELL GIRLS BETSY COLWELL LESLIE Pl-IILBRICK LESLIE PHILBRICK LESLIE PHILBRICK LLOYD CORNELL EDWARD PERROTTA ALEXANDER CAMERON THOMAS PRATT EDWARD PERROTTA LLOYD CORNELL BETSY COLWELL BETSY COLWELL BETSY COLWELL ALMA SBROCCO MARY KAYSER ALMA SBRocco Wi triesr Favorite Orchestra Leader Favorite Radio Program Favorite Comic Strip Favorite Actor Favorite Actress Favorite Study Favorite Classic Toughest Text ' RICHMOND WIER MARY KAYSER GLENN MILLER INFORMATION PLEASE LI'L ABNER SPENCER TRACY BETTE DAVIS ANCIENT HISTORY TALE OF Two CITIES GEOMETRY une Superlatives VINCENT HICKEY Ideal Classicalite Most Likely to Succeed Best Scholar Did Most for Class Most Versatile Most Popular Best Looking Best Natured Most Athletic Best Dressed Wittiest BOYS HOWARD LATHAM CHARLES PECK HERMES GRILLO HOWARD LATHAM HOWARD LATHAM CARL HOLMBERG CARL HOLMBERG JOHN NAJARIAN CARL HOLMBERG EDWARD DRI NKWATER GIRLS RUTH FREEMAN CHARLOTTE SIMON ESTELLE HUNT MADELEINE BEAUD MURIEL HARRIS ELSIE MARTIN ET MARILYN PATTERSON RUTH FREEMAN MADELEINE BEAUD MURIEL HARRIS EVELYN CRAVEN Favorite Orchestra Favorite Radio Program Favorite Comic Strip Favorite Movie Actor Favorite Movie Actress Favorite Study Favorite Classic Toughest Text Book GLENN MILLER THE ALDRICH FAMILY LIL' ABNER CLARK GABLE BETTE DAVIS MATHEMATICS HA TALE OF Two CITIES BURKE'S UCONCILIATION SPEECH ET cadu e Congratulations GRADUATES OF 1940 ROBERTS STUDIO QJQQ ,.l.. l, L..l. ..
