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.

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 credit is due her for this, however, for her faithful Chevrolet deposits her safely at the door at exactly 8:20 each morning. Marian, being rather studious, usually carries four or five books home under her arm, and what’s more, her reports show that she studies them. Motoring is her special hobby, and she is often seen driving about the city with two or three of her friends. She intends to motor into R. I. C. E. in the fall, and the best wishes of her classmates go with her. ANNA DARLING (“Doodles”) Motto: “Love to one. friendship to a few. and good will to all” GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY DRAMATICS (4) Anna, the friend of all. is rather quiet while in the class room, but she makes up for it at the proper time. She is a regular attendant at the games and meets. She is fond of dancing and enjoys all sports. Many would like to know Anna’s method of essay writing. We all sit up and take notice when she starts to read one of her themes or stories, for we are sure to be interested in every word. No one can resist Anna s charms. Always smiling and ever cheery, she has won a place in the heart of everyone. Sincere and lovable, she is a real P. H. S. girl— what more could be said of any “demoiselle?” RUTH DAVIS (“Ruth”) Motto: “Play the game” BASKETBALL (41, HONOR SOCIETY Well, well! Here’s another of our old friends in room twenty-seven. Ruth is of a very quiet but sweet disposition, and is well liked by all who know her. She goes her way doing her work in the modest pleasing manner which has gained for her so many friends. She is a chemistry shark, although by no means backward in her other studies. This fair damsel may be seen any afternoon astride her (fiery! steed like a knight of old. Next year will see Ruth resuming her studies at Mount Holyoke. We are sure that she will make a great name for herself there as she has at P. H. S. ISABELLE CATHRINE DEAN (“Izzy”) Motto: “Conquer or die” When it comes to back seats, Isabelle always gets one first. When asked why, she merely shrugs her shoulders and replies, “Why for no reason at all.” But we know better. What could be a more opportune place to pass notes which contain numerous expressions of “He said, ' and “He likes?” As the holder of a seat in the back of the room, she’s a fine time-keeper. All the eleventh hour pupils peek into the door and pop the same worn-out question, “Am I late?” And Isabelle replies, ‘‘Almost.” In her studies Isal elle receives good marks, and her only explanation is: “Why, what are the study periods and recesses for?” Next year she expects to enter Bryant Stratton’s. We wish her luck!
