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!

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.

1924 Pawtucket High School 13 ABRAHAM COHEN (“Abe”) Motto: “Look before you leap.” Abe's motto has a double meaning, for he’s no mean wrestler, having thrown many a heavier one by his caution before leaping, and then he’s rather shy and backward when girls are around, but then, girls, you’ve never heard him spring a new one. History and chemistry seem to be his choice subjects, but studies never worry him. “Abe” has been lured on by the business world, and feels that he will succumb to its charms. He’s been a loyal supporter of high school activities during his four years, supporting athletics and dramatics especially. The class of 24 wishes you luck in your undertakings, “Abe.” MARY MARGARET COLLINS (“May”) Motto: “Do not put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” Mary is naturally quiet, but when you look at her you think. “Still waters run deep.” When Mary says anything, it’s worth listening to. She is a pleasant companion and a true friend. She expects to be a teacher, and she will surely make a good one. Her supply of patience is never exhausted, and her quiet humor will help her over many a rough place. She is a good scholar, especially in French. She shows her partiality for this subject in her recitations, and her mark is much better than for any other study. Good luck and a happy future, Mary! HENRY CLARK JOSEPH COONEY (“Caesar” i Motto: “Always II sharp and never II flat.” track (4) Henry is the boy who is always in on the jokes in his classes. We always know that when he is around something generally happens! Henry has track aspirations, too. We have often seen him trotting around the Slater Park track, and he sure is some runner. He tells us that his favorite periods are study and review algebra (on Mondays and Wednesdays). We are inclined to agree that these are well chosen. Henry does not appear to be very studious, but just take a glance at his report if you want to see his standing. If he goes to college next fall, we hope he will gather in honors in athletics as well as in studies. ETHEL MAY COPP (“Officer”) Motto: “Shakespeare never repeals.” HONOR SOCIETY W’e predict a fine career for Ethel. .She is the girl to go to if you want an appreciative audience for a new joke. Ethel always sees a joke, even if it is on herself. She is a good student, and certainly shines in English. This study is her specialty. It is the usual thing to see her get up and give a logical explanation of a difficult part of Shakespeare while the rest of the class sits back and listens in awed silence. Ethel will probably be private secretary to the President or some other influential person. Nothing else would satisfy her.
