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.

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”?

We hear that one young lady, (Helen, wasn’t it? I had her hair bobbed because “Ray” declared he liked 'em that way. Football has had a sturdy supporter in this robust youth, whose avoirdupois makes him a valuable man on the field. “Ray” hasn't quite decided what he will do next year, but whatever it is, we wish him the best of luck. LUCIA HOOGASIAN (“Loo”) Motto: “Look towards the sun and the shadous will jail behind you.” Hail to our Lucia, the champion rooter at the games! No game would be complete without her in the front line cheering our boys or girls. She just seems to put new life into them and on they go again. And stories! Why, very few can compete against Lucia. Her narratives seem to hold the reader’s attention from beginning to end. Do you remember our Indian squaw on Freak Day? The memorable day would have been incomplete without a real Indian and none could have taken the part better than Lucia. She is particularly fond of typewriting and next year we expect to find her in someone’s office as stenographer. Here’s wishing you success in everything. Lucia. ELEANOR SARAH HUGHES (“El,” “Lenorc”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” Eleanor is one of the best natured girls in our class, and her unfailing good humor and willingness to assist in any fun on hand has won her the esteem of all her classmates. She is an ardent student of biology and may often be seen engaged in an animated discussion as to the whys and wherefores of animal life. The one great annoyance of her life is her inability to decide whether she prefers singing or dancing as a pastime. Judging from the frequency with which she indulges in both, we should say that she is extremely impartial. Eleanor is not quiet decided as to her future career, but thinks she will choose nursing as her vocation. CHARLES ERNEST HULME (“Ernie”) Motto: “Eventually, ivhy not now?” CLEANER (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY “Ernie” Hulme is the radio shark of Pleasant View. With his powerful set he can get Providence on clear nights. He is one of our loyal supporters here at P. H. S., too, and you see him at every game, cheering until he is hoarse. His favorite pastime out of school is motoring, indulging in friendly races with all who desire them. His opponent generally holds last place easily. No matter what his reputation is, he has always transported players of various teams to the field on time. In school, he is strong on studying and does his best to keep up his part on the Gleaner Board and give us all a laugh.
