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.

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.

Well, that’s our Grayce. Those dimples are the undoing of many a student, for it is a much easier and more fascinating occupation to watch dimples than to study. Gravce’s motto might have been “slow but sure,” for the accuracy of her shorthand is phenomenal. And Grayce is a busy girl. At least, so it seems when you try to call her on the telephone. She is to attend Gibbs’ Secretarial School next year, and if present indications are correct, she will be a most capable and efficient private secretary. VIRGINIA THEONE BROOME (“Gin”) Motto: Honor and fame from no condition rise. Act well thy part; therein the honor lies” VICE-PRESIDENT A. A. ill. CAPTAIN BASKETBALL (3) (4), SWIMMING (3), BASKETBALL (3) (4), VICE-PRESIDENT DRAMATIC SOCIETY (4), DRAMATICS (3 I (4), CHAIRMAN SENIOR RECEPTION (4l. VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (4), STAGE MANAGER “MICE AND MEN” ( 41 Whenever you hear a good hearty laugh or see an attractive looking girl, large of stature, striding majestically through the halls of P. H. S., you can l e sure it’s our Virginia. She's one of the most popular girls of our class. Sweet sixteen and never been—what's that? For four years she has been swimming and playing basketball for us. She s a great scout and a perfect dancer. You never fail to find her at school activities rooting loyally. How she steps around so much and still pulls down good marks is beyond us. but we guess it's because she intends to enter R. I. State in the fall. Anyway, she’s capable of making a place for herself, and P. H. S. gives her the best of sendofTs. FREDERICK WILSON BROWN (“Rick,” “Cutie,” “Brownie”) Motto: “It can be done—but try and do it.” Ladies and Gentlemen, behold our own “Brownie!” Fred is a good student, but the teachers don’t recognize the fact, so he has spent four strenuous years in dear old P. H. S. When Rick first came to school in knickers and Buster Brown collar, the girls called him sweet; now he has discarded the collar, but retains the knickers and the girls call him Cutie. You often see him in company with Dixon or Doyle raising a rumpus in the corridors. Brownie will settle down next year, and learn to be a dentist. The best wishes of the class of ’24 follow you. Brownie. Don’t forget the Why Worry Club.
