She will probably leave Pawtucket and live in New York after grad nation. LEONARD MURRAY LUTHER (“Ned”) f L Motto: “Nunquam non pa rat us.” Look out! Wow, but that was a close one!

Ever ready with a poem for the Tattler with a tackle for his “man with the ball” or w ith a recitation in any class, he has bombed his way through P. H. S. In his Freshman year, he or ganized a Ku Klux Klan. but, somehow, that made no impression upon the sophisticated minds of the upper-classmen, so he laid a “nationwide” plan to establish “Socialism” in the high school. His plan flourished until Miss L— became converted and gave “Debs” and HefTern each half of a 5 (2+ apiece) for a perfect joint recitation,

FOOTBALL (2) (3 I (4), CAPTAIN (4), ALLSTAR TEAM (4» Motto: “Better late than never” First period, second period, and short recess things of the past, yet we still have hopes. First call for eats and a “wadda I care” tread on the stairs. A drink at the H.O pipe and he's all set for a hearty breakfast at the lunch-counter. Of course this only happens two, three, four or five times a week but then—we boys must have our rest. Not considering his propensity for being late and making a howling success of it. “Bus” is sure—one of the boys. “Bus’ ” specialty is football. In the football history of P. H. S. there has never been a more aggressive, smashing, heady guard than “Bus” LaMothe. But not only in football has “Bus” rung the bell. The boy has a career before him as a forceful speaker. “Bus” has slated himself for a law course at Georgetown. Here’s the future success of our„ Bus ------------BRyC£S LEAVENS (“Barb”!

30 1922 CHARLES SEYMOUR MACOMBER (“Chick,” “Mack”) Motto: “All or nothing” This is “goggles” who sits in room 20. He doesn’t say much and he doesn’t do much. Charlie is a “dead-eye-dick” with erasers. Doesn t know what his favorite study is because he’s never tried studying. His ambition is to become an acrobat in a side show. He has a melodious tenor voice, if it were trained, and a good many more assets. May his successes he multitudinous and come with celeritv. HELEN ISABELLE MALONEY Motto: “Mieux tard que jamais.” Here is one of our quietest pupils but, nevertheless, a much liked one. She comes to us from Darlington’s “wilds,” and every morning she appears with a smile. Her favorite subject is Spanish, and she is very efficient in it to say the least. Her marks in that subject would alone prove it. Next year she expects to enter the Rhode Island College of Education, and we wish her much success and happiness (for the future), both of which we are sure she will obtji CASPAR I) GEORGE MARTIN (“Frog,” “Gap” ) Motto: “Whatever you want, try and get it” Gap” is one of the Macomber’s gang of chalk and eraser heavers in Room 25. At recess when the dust fills the corridors, someone says. “Martin’s ofT,” and everybody scurries for shelter. “Frog” has a hard time dodging the “Corridor Cops.” His favorite study is history and we hope he will soon be making history in the business world. Your motto doesn’t include the lunch-counter, does it, Gap? Next year Gaspard, king of the “puddle-jumpers,” will enter into business with the best wishes of his classmates. Take it easy, Gap. JEAN REID MARTIN SECRETARY OF DRAMATIC SOCIETY, CAST “iCI l’o.N PARLE FRANCAIS” Now it came to pass that there was born to the house of Martin a daughter Jean. And when Jean had attained to the age of about three years these mystic words were spoken to her by an angel who didst appear in a vision. Eat when you’re hungry Drink when you’re dry Always be merry And you’ll live till you die. And behold, Jean didst obey the instructions which the angel had commanded unto her and didst wax exceedingly merry and exceedingly plump. And when she had reached a fitting age, she was admitted into the portals of the Land of Learning, and behold, if any other inhabitants of the land were in doldrums. Jean did appear unto them and straightway the doldrums were sat upon.
