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!

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.

1924 Pawtucket High School 15 GEORGE STANLEY DIXON (“Cal,” “Dick”) Motto: “ a thing is worth doing—do it.” ORCHESTRA (2) (3) (4), CHEER LEADER (4) “Dick,” as he is called by his friends, is an ardent supporter of all the teams. He tried out for football, but due to injuries was forced to seek other inodes of enjoyment. He served with the orchestra for three years, and led us in cheering during his last year. Dick is another member of the “Why Worry Club,” and helps to keep everybody stepping lively. Dick intends to become serious during the summer, and to join the Nyack Religious Institute, and at some future date we may expect to hear the Reverend Mr. Dixon deliver an address or sermon in this city. The best wishes of the class go with you, Dick. RALPH CHARLES DODGE (“Skipper”) FOOTBALL (3) (4), CAPTAIN FOOTBALL (4), BASEBALL (3) (4), CAPTAIN HOCKEY (3) (4), HOCKEY (2) (3) (4), TRACK (3) (4), HONOR SOCIETY Can you imagine a hoy like this being a woman hater? And vet Ralph vows he is one. Despite this failing, we ll have to acknowledge that “Skipper s a pretty good sort, and he’s always there when it comes to baseball, football, basketball, hockey, swimming, track, and a few other things. “Skip' is the captain of the good ship “Gimp,” which has carried so many buccaneers of P. H. S. on their awe-inspiring duck hunts. In command of his trusty crew “Skipper” has established the reputation of a modern Captain Kidd along the shores of Narragansett Bay. Ralph intends to enter Rhode Island State in the fall, along with other members of his crew'. Best of luck, “Skip.” JOSEPH HERMANN DOLL (“Joe.” Dollie”) Motto: “Don’t be bashful; be careful.” DRAMATICS (3) (4), BUSINESS MANAGER “HONOR BRIGHT” (4) A pair of sparkling eyes, a head of lustrous hair, a smile that’s always there, that’s “Dollie.” “Joe” is that industrious fellow who believes in “doing as little as he can, and then a little less.” Nevertheless, he gets his share of 5’s. “Joe” is a faithful slave of Terpsichore; and how he does dance! “Dollie” is also a member of the gang that keeps things humming around Room 29 at recess times. But we think he enjoys the scenery best in the vicinity of Room 25. Some happy day in the future he hopes to have M.D. attached to his name. Next year he intends to grace the classic halls of Brown. JOHN FRANCIS DOYLE (“Jack,” “Tubber”) Motto: “Give the other fellow the kind of advice he wants, and he will always say that you and he are the two wisest men in the world.” TRACK (3) (4), CHEER LEADER (4) Here we have Jack Doyle, famous track man and erstwhile student. For four years Jack has come from Harrison Street to Broadway in about five minutes. This is why he is a good track man. It doesn’t explain why he is in such a hurry, though. Perhaps a little sophomore has something to do with that. At recess he may be seen in the corridors with Dixon, either starting a new stunt or engaged in starting a fight. Besides being a good student, he is an ardent supporter of school activities. Though it was his first attempt, he made a good cheer leader. Next year Jack hopes to enter Bates. Good luck, Jack.
