No dance is a success unless “Brownie” is there “to trip the light fantastic.” Brownie understands the weaker sex, as well as the mysteries of the laboratory. Our young chemical prodigy will some day be Edison II. Brown states that math and chem are his favorite subjects, but the way he rolls along in French assures us of his success in that language. “Sid”, has been a staunch supporter of high school activities. He intends to honor M. I. T. with his presence next September. P. H. S. certainly wishes you loads of luck in your undertakings, “Sid.” MARY RITA BUCKLEY (“May”) Motto: Hitch your wagon to a star.'' May is another one of our quiet members. You know her, a black haired girl who sits in room 27. She is very studious, a fact which is apparent from her lessons. Her favorite subject is French, but we are inclined to believe that she likes English somewhat. She intends to go to Normal School next year. Someday we may see her with her pretty hair pulled back and her face sternly set, gazing over her “specs” at some impossible youngster who just won’t behave. We hope, however, that she will stay as sweet as she is now, and we wish her all luck. BERNARD JOSEPH BURNS (“Barney”) Motto: Let the next period take care of itself.” MANAGER HOCKEY (4), TRACK (1) (2) (3) (4), CAPTAIN TRACK (4) Hail, Captain Burns! Barney has followed the movements and activities, as a participant, of the track team throughout his four years at P. H. S. His persistent efforts as captain this last year have helped greatly toward the team's fine record. He was a sure point winner in every meet, the shot put being his specialty. Sometimes he’s here and sometimes there, but most of the time he’s around where there’s anything doing. He’s a quiet, unassuming fellow, and means business in everything he tackles. If all goes well. Barney will enter R. I. State in the fall. P. H. S. wishes him the best of success. FREDERIC JOSEPH BURNS (“Fred”) Motto: Love 'em all hut marry none! MANAGER TRACK (4), ASSISTANT MANAGER TRACK (3) Fred is the fellow with the red and green plaid socks and the never failing grin, who can always put a piece of chalk to other uses than writing on the blackboard. His pep and good nature enable him to get away with anything, however, and have made him well-liked by all who know him. As for the girls, he follows out his motto very well! He has always been a hearty supporter of school athletics, and has managed the track team very capably during the past season. It may be Providence College or some other for Fred next year, but wherever he goes, we’re all behind him.

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.

She is rather quiet while in the class room, but just the same she's full of fun. Despite this, she never neglects her studies in the least. And her stories! How interesting they are! Most of us are jealous of “MarjieV big blue eyes, her bobbed, light brown hair, and her pleasing ways. Marjorie is planning to continue her stenographic work upon leaving P. H. S. at Miss Gibb's Secretarial College. We know that she will have success in whatever she undertakes. MELVIN CARTER (“Nick”) Motto: “To have and to hold .” Evervbodv seems to know Melvin and there seem to be few with whom he is not acquainted. “Nick” claims to be the only and original “Nick” Carter, but that is hard to believe. At any rate. “Nick is a fine fellow, and although he is rather fickle, he is very well liked—by both sexes. He has such a cheerful disposition and such a happy-go-lucky nature that he makes everyone around him feel happy, too. Lately he seems to have developed a latent talent—that of making wonderfully artistic maps. We expect great things of “Nick,” and he will undoubtedly make us all proud of him some day. MARGARET ELIZABETH CASEY (“Casey,” “Pat”) Motto: “If there be no fun. make it!” SECRETARY A. A. (4k MANAGER SWIMMING TEAM (3), SWIMMING (4), BASKETBALL (4). RECEPTION COMMITTEE (4), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (41 DRAMATICS (4) This is “Casey.” the laughing, good-natured, happy fun maker of the class of ’24. Margaret surely is full of pep and is always around when there is any fun going on. and. if there isn't any, Margaret always makes some. She was the capable, energetic captain of our Girls Swimming Team during its first year, and her team never met defeat. This last year she has been a member of the team. “Casey” and Clara are great chums, and we hear about all the good times they have over Garden Street way. Although Margaret will probably cheer for Brown next vear, we know she'll alwavs be loval to P. H. S. and the class of ’24. DORIS WINSOR CHERRINGTON (“Dot”) Motto: “Semper Pa rata” GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HISTORIAN (4) HONOR SOCIETY Behold “our Dot” with her twinkling eyes and winsome ways, one of the prettiest, most attractive, and most brilliant of our girls in the senior class. Dot is certainly liked by all, and she has a captivating smile for everyone who comes in contact with her. Fives are nothing unusual for her, as they come thick and fast day by day, and no Honor Roll is complete without her name. Wherever there's any fun. Dots right on hand to participate in it, whether it be dancing, skating, sliding, or automobiling, although the latter has its particular charm. Here s to Dot's success whatever she may do in the future!
