Why, it’s little “Hopey” Arnold, the “Farmer” of Room 27. Who said she was quiet? Her circle of intimates could assure you that demure Hope is quite the opposite. She is one of our best rooters and has missed few sport events during her high school career. Every player knows when Hope is present. She isn’t very big, but iny, how she can yell for P. H. S.! Come one, come all. here's three good ones for “Hopey” herself. Hope is one of the most popular girls at P. H. S., and her numerous friends include both teachers and students. Next year Hope will probably enter some business office. Good luck and the best of wishes go with you, Hope. DOROTHY ARNOLD (“Dot”) Motto: “Smilin' Thru.” ASSISTANT MANAGER BASKETBALL (3), MANAGER SWIMMINC (4), SWIMMING TEAM (3) Here’s another specimen of the kind of people whom Garden Street sends forth. Dot’s one of the healthiest girls in school—there isn’t a spare moment that she doesn’t spend outdoors. In the winter, she’s an adept at fancy skating; in the summer, a skillful swimmer, winning life saving tests; in the spring, a devotee of tennis; and in autumn, a never failing figure in our cheering section. Her record as a Girl Scout is one to be envied. Dot’s smile and her cheerful disposition are contagious, and she and her friend “Dot” are always chuckling over something amusing. This fall, “Dot” expects to join the many who will attend the State Normal School. JOHN NELSON ARNOLD (“Jeff’i Motto: “Don’t cross bridges until you come to them.” John is that quiet fellow whom you often see during recess in earnest discussion about radio with some other science shark. “Jeff” has been interested in radio from its very beginning and was one of the first real radio bugs in the school. Besides chemistry, he is fond of mechanical drawing and is one of the stars in that department. He is rather quiet in school, hut when it comes to camping, his friends will tell you that you could not find a better companion than “Jeff.” He has not made any definite plans for the next few years, hut if he works as hard as he has here, he is sure to be successful. NORMAN MILLBlRY BANKART (“Shorty,” “Norm,” “Bank”) Motto: “Never do today what you can do tomorrow.” BASEBALL (41, BASKETBALL (4), SWIMMING (3) (4) “Turn around, Bankart!” Ah, that stocky individual is the notorious “Shorty,” who’s always whispering during class periods. That doesn’t mean that he’s a quiet chap in the halls. Procrastination holds good for him except where athletics are concerned. “Bank” has limited himself to football, track, baseketball, and swimming. Why—the Y gym and Slater Park w'ould be desolate without his presence. Norm has made some big splashes in the swimming world and we know that we’ll hear of him in the future. “Shorty” is popular up at school with everybody, a fact which is partly explained by his dancing ability. Dartmouth will claim Norm next fail when he’ll begin to study intensively.

Her cheerful (and winning) smile can make the dullest hour seem bright. At our dances, meets and games, Al is always surrounded by hopeful admirers. Her reputation for brilliancy, however, is not confined to social activities. She is one of the speediest typists that P. H. S. has ever developed. Al is also deeply interested in art, and her work in applied design testifies to the fact that she has no small amount of artistic ability. When vou're looking for a good sport, a perfect dancer, and a wonderful friend—all hail to Al Adams, Room 27. P. H. S., ’24. Next vcar Al will probably attend the Rhode Island School of Design. RUTH MERLE AITKEN (“Rufus”) Motto “Forgive and Forget.” Ruth is one of our very quietest members. She is very much interested in Domestic Art and we are told that she is a very good cook. What a housekeeper she would make! They say, Ruth, that the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Look out, boys! Ruth is very popular among the girls, especially in the morning. You see, she possesses the largest mirror in the school. Perhaps that accounts for the boys who are seen in that region every morning. We feel sure Ruth w ill make a success in whatever she intends to do next year and wish her all the luck possible. HELEN CURTIS ALDRICH (“Helen”) Motto: “Smile—it won't hurt much.” Helen is a great lover of music, and she is very talented, as those who have heard her sing can readily say. She likes many other things besides, for Mali Jongg has its place among the games, and then she is particularly fond of reading when she has an exciting tale—of course, no other kind would do. Helen says that her best-liked studies are English and applied design, hut it has been noticed that her other ones are not neglected. In all probability. Helen will proceed further into the technique of music, vocal and piano, in the coming year, and who knows what may be in store for this promising artist of the class of ’24.

Perhaps this accounts for her popularity with both sexes, the more so because of her readiness to laugh even when the joke is turned on herself. Helen is also much in evidence at all the games, though perhaps there's a deep reason for this. R. I. C. E. will claim Helen next fall, and in a few years we expect to see her escorted home by a group of eager youngsters. URSULA MARY BERTOLACINI (“Bert”) Motto: “Variety is the spice of life. Here is Ursula, known to her friends as “Bert.” She is a quiet girl, at least she is in school. We are told that her favorite amusement is dancing and that she prefers it to anything else. Well, we can’t blame her for that. However, “Bert” likes school, too. We think it’s English. How about it? Anyway, “Bert” is an all-round good scout, and we know she will succeed in the business world as she has at school. As private secretary is the goal of every successful stenographer, we hope that Ursula will quickly attain the mark. LOUIS ALBERT BIRON (“Bozo”) Motto: “Do tomorrow what you cant do today” ORCHESTRA (1) (2) (3) (4) “Bozo” is one of our really talented classmates. He takes an important place in our orchestra and the sweet, clear tones of his violin always make the selections rendered by that body a success. Biron came to P. H. S. from the James C. Potter School and has l een a good student, a good sport, and a fine fellow. When asked what his favorite studies are, “Bozo” good-naturedly replies, “All of them!” Radio, tennis, and automobiling are Louis’ favorite pastimes and we frequently see him jazzing around at a terrific rate of speed in his sporty looking auto. Indeed, Biron has the best wishes of the class of ’24 for whatever he may do in the future. RALPH EMERY BLACKMAR (“Blackie”) Motto: “Play the game.” FOOTBALL (2) (3) You will recognize “Blackie” as the fellow who is present at all games, either a loyal supporter or, in football, in the thick of the scrimmage. W hen in school he may be found in or near Room 27, which proves that he likes good company. If you really would like to hear him talk, mention radio to him. What he doesn’t know about that isn’t worth knowing. “Blackie” is great on society. He goes to all the dances and social functions, and is the envy of all newcomers to social life because of his ease of manner and popularity. “Blackie” is undecided as to college. The best wishes of your class follow you. Ralph.
