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”?

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.

Oh. of course, I know Esther. You mean that young lady who surprised us this year by walking in with all her bee-yew-tee-full curls done up in a hair net. Why? Well, she thought she had grown up, and she didn't want a young head on old shoulders. Esther’s favorite pastime is dancing. Every Tuesday night you can see her up at a certain place “tripping it as she goes on her light fantastic toes.” She has faithfully pursued a four-year commercial course and she expects to further this education at the Boston University where we know and hope she will make good. MARIE DIANA HENDERSON (“Babe”) Motto: Doiit think always of yourself; give someone else a chance.” Petite Marie with her smiling countenance has spent her four years at P. H. S. in hard, earnest study. Marie believes, except on Freak Day, in being quiet and reserved (?), and has followed out the idea that if she minds her own business everyone else will mind his. Marie prides herself in being able to write well and we know that she does this with excellence. You'll always find her chatting at recess in room 24 with Gladys and Margaret. With the aid of Mr. Holden’s wise teachings, Marie intends to make about forty per—taking dictation from some multi-millionaire. ELBERT HUGH HENRY (“Al ) Mctlo: “The best way to have a friend is to be one.” PRESIDENT OF Cl.ASS (3) (4), VICE-PRESIDENT A. A. (3 I. PRESIDENT A. A. (41, FOOTBALL (2) (3) (4), BASEBALL (2) (3) (4), CAPTAIN BASEBALL (4). BASKETBALL (4), FOOTBALL DANCE COMMITTEE (4) Le voici! The pride of ’24—our “Al!” A complex character: one day, a hot-headed player, making thrilling passes for his class; the next, a stern president, conducting a class meeting in his best manner; and the next, an English dandy, cheer leader for a riotous crowd of Freaks in the middle of Main Street. “Al” is a star in every phase of school life, but he excels in athletics. “Al has not yet definitelv decided where he will go next year—but it will be either to Moses Brown or Dartmouth. After he has completed his course there, he intends to enter the business world. W herever he goes, let’s have three cheers for “Al”—one! two! three! JAMES STEELE HOLBURN (“Jim”) Motto: “Do it now. “Jimmy” is the angel-eyed, blond-haired youth of room 24. Every morning finds him with a book under his nose, wondering if he could better his marks of 5. “Jimmy” is an ardent supporter of our teams and rain or shine—he is at the games. His favorite pastime is—well, we won’t tell because he always regards it as a secret. But, he certainly does like to read, dear me, yes! And always finds plenty of things to peruse. “Jim” isn’t certain of his future. No doubt, though, it will be big, and whatever he does will be worth while. Here’s the best of luck. “Jim,” and think of us once in a while.
