DRAMATICS (3) (4l, GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (4), CLASS SUPPER (4), DEBATING (3) (4), VICE-PRESIDENT DEBATING (3), PRESIDENT LYCEUM ( 4 I, HISTORIAN (41, SAMUEL SLATER ESSAY PRIZE (3), HONOR SOCIETY. TENNIS ( I I There are few people who achieve success in all things they attempt, but Russell seems to be one of the minority. His arguments in debating have won us many a victory; his record in the academic is a thing to be proud of; and his ability behind the footlights has astonished those who know him only as a quiet, unobtrusive senior. His talent in composing short, pithy editorials has been clearly shown in his Gleaner work. Russell has decided that the scene of his next exploits will be Cornell, and he starts for that institution in the fall. His achievements at P. H. S. have been great, but of Russell at Yale, we expect to hear still greater things. GRACE IRENE GODFREY (“Goose”) Motto: “Grin and bear it. Grace has been a member of our class for four years, and although she believes in the old adage of being seen and not heard, yet her presence has always been felt and relied upon. She may not look like a movie fan. but she is—and her latest idol is Conway Tearle. At school she has taken the commercial course, and done excellently. She expects to be a private secretary in a few years, but she is also qualified for other things. Every ring or pendant that she makes upstairs is an object of admiration for days, and her neatness and skill in household arts recommends her as a housekeeper. However, we send her forth to be “somebody’s stenog.” ELSA BERTHA GRAMELSBACH (“La-la”) Motto: “As ye sew, so shall ye rip.” DRAMATICS (4) Elsa is a vivacious blond with no mean talent as an actress. She was a promising commercial pupil until she became a senior, when she suddenly decided to try for college. Being an ambitious person, she did not consider the means as much as the end—namely college. However, she is a good scholar, so she will, of course, make a success. Elsa is a regular shark at English and German. To hear her, you would think that they were both acquired as easily as the measles. Although Elsa is always complaining about a pain, she is expected to live a long life, and we hope, a happy one. REGINA AUGUSTA GRAMELSBACH (“Reggie”) Motto: “Love your friends.” When it comes to being a genius at work, lay, and study, Regina is right there. Her ambition is evident by her diligence in her studies. She is rather fond of German, and in this subject she shines. She is especially fond of reading, though, and is acquainted with the works of both ancient and modern writers. We must not think that “Reggie’ does nothing but study, for facts prove the contrary. She is a willing participant in all the pleasurable activities of the school. We know that “Reggie” will succeed in anything she undertakes. The class of 1921 extends to you its best wishes for your future luck and happiness.

You know her. a little blond who sits in room twenty-seven, and who is never in any given place at any given time. Chic” is so small that you almost need a microscope to see her. But, believe me, you can’t put anything over on her. She’s very cheerful. too. Just tell her a joke on the sly and listen to her giggle. It’s worth the trouble of repeating the joke. “Chic” likes to study—especially shorthand, her favorite subject. She, too, will enter the commercial world after she leaves P. H. S., and we wish her the best of luck and happiness in her future work, whatever it may be. HELEN GABAR (“Helen”) Motto: “Always forget what you can’t remember.” GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (41, HONOR SOCIETY, VICE-PRESIDENT SCIENCE CLUB (4) Helen, like her dear friend. Izzy. naturally gravitates toward back seats, probably for the same reasons. She’s one of those lucky people who are blessed with curly hair, and her bobbed locks are quite an attraction in twenty-seven. She started in with us on our first day in P. H. S., and has kept up her reputation as a good student ever since. Like many another girl, her appearance is deceptive, for she looks quite demure, doesn’t she? Still, when her future classmates at R. 1. C. E. really come to know her, they'll find that underneath she’s chock full of fun and pep. Look a little harder and you’ll see that twinkle in her eye. ZULMAH MAY GARDNER (“Zel”) Motto: “He who hesitates is lost.” Although Zulmah doesn’t tell us all about the tilings she enjoys, we know that art in all its phases appeals to her. White is her favorite color because it signifies purity. Zulmah is a lover of animals, especially dogs, and her favorite pastime is walking with her German police puppy. Music and dancing have a fascination for Zulmah. While she doesn't enjov the movies at all. she just delights in Zane Grey s thrilling novels. Sewing is Zulmah’s favorite occupation, and next year she may take a course in dress designing. Here’s to her success for whatever she does in the future! ROLAND ALPHONSE GIGNAC (“Roly”) Motto: “Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow.” Roland did not join us till our junior year, spending the first two years of his high school career in Sacred Heart College, in that wild and woolly wilderness of Central Falls. But, nevertheless, he has won for himself a host of friends, many of whom are members of the fair sex. His favorite studies are chemistry and U. S. History. When not studying, he is skating, or else the tennis courts claim him. and he is very proficient in both these sports. Next year will find Roland among the “frosh” at R. I. State, where we know he will be a credit to himself and to the school.

His special “sidekick” is Maynard, and the two are almost never separated. When asked why he takes French, he always replies, “To make up my credits,” hut he also keeps off the permanent list with remarkable ease. Installing radio sets is a special hobby of his, and takes up a good deal of his time. Next year will probably find him at R. 1. State, and we hope he will he able to make as good a showing as he has here. GLADYS MAY HAMM (“Glad”) Motto: “If a thing is worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.” dramatics (4) There is a little senorita who sits in Room 24,'known by the name of “Glad” to her many friends. Indeed it is a name which just suits her, for her face is always bright and smiling. You always see her “petite” form flitting in and out with a smile and a joke. All original, too! And studious? Why, she simply loves to study. Her favorite studies are shorthand and typewriting and we know she will make a fine little “stenog.” Just watch her! We are sorry to see her leave us but we know she will brighten some little corner in the business world and we wish her success. Adios, Gladys! GORDON MILLER HALL (“Chink”) Motto: “When there is nothing else to do, go to bed.” ASSISTAiNT MANAGER FOOTBALL (3), BASKETBALL (4) Rattlety—bang! Bang! Honk! “Chink” and his twin six go flashing by—the gang hanging on by their teeth and one tire half off. In his leisure moments Gordon studies—we know not what, hut he gets there just the same. Since he took up the art of Terpsichore “Chink hasn’t been himself. He has a sort of far-away look on his noble, sheik-like brow. Perhaps he’s thinking of the next basketball game. “Chink was a sub on the big team and when he played he showed fine ability as a player. Next year Gordon will go into commercial life, probably selling stocks and bonds. THOMAS EDWARD HARDING (“Tom”) Motto: “Beter to jail dotvn than lie down.” Some people think “Tom” quiet, but they don’t know him (ask Miss Osborn). If you want to get acquainted with our “Tom,” visit a certain pond any time when there is skating. Whizz! Gone! That’s he. That is, he’s whizzing and the rest if he isn’t teaching some fair damsel to whizz also. He’s quiet in his classes, but we’re not sure whether it is bashfulness or natural knowledge that makes him so timid with the teachers. Remember those dear old eraser fights in 14? Perhaps you don’t, “Tom,” because you’ve grown up. (?) “Tom” is uncertain as to his future address, but call Central and ask for information. How about it, “Tom”?
