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.

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.

Who’s that tall, graceful, brown-eyed girl that sits in 24? Oh, you mean Alice Johnson, the star theme-writer of our English class? But theme-writing isn’t the only thing at which Alice shines. She is a great hiker, skater, dancer and an all-around girl. Our Alice looks quiet, but when the 2:05 hell rings, she throws off the restraint of hooks and becomes the gayest of the gay. She is a sport enthusiast, and has missed very few football, basketball, or baseball games during her four years at high school. Alice is undecided as to her future, but wherever she goes, whatever she does, her host of friends at P. H. S. are with her. MARIAN WELCOME JOHNSON ( Pinky”) Motto: “Laugh and be happy.” BASKETBALL (3), MANAGER BASKETBALL (4), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (4) Marian is one of our girl athletes, and a great booster for athletics. She’s the kind of person that one would call “a good sport,” ready to rush in and enjoy whatever’s going on. Marian is an excellent basketball player, and the team lost a valuable guard this year when she could not play. She jazzes all over the city in her flivver, and she certainly has experienced some jolly good rides in the old Henry. Marian will probably endeavor to tackle the pursuit of learning at R. I. State, where her gaity and lively companionship will win her a hearty welcome. THOMAS BLACKWOOD JOHNSTON ( Tommy”) Motto: “Why worry when there's nothing to worry about?” TENNIS (4), TRACK (31 (4), SWIMMINC (3) (4), DRAMATICS (3) (41. ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER CLEANER (3), GLEANER (4), CLASS BOOK (4), IEACUE DELEGATE (4), JUNIOR PROM (3), THIRD S. S. ESSAY PRIZE Crash! Bang! and Tommy” arrives. “Tommy” is the boy with the noble profile, famous smile and winning ways. He can always be depended upon to lie at all our activities—athletic as well as social. No matter what Tommy” tackles, he always shows the same pep that he has when streaking down the track or churning the water for old P. H. S. In spite of his many activities, Tommy’s” scholastic record has been a good one. P. H. S. will remember “Tommy” as one of its squarest and lovalest; always ready for fun. P. H. S. will be sorry to lose him and either Brown or R. I. State will be benefited by his presence next year. KATHRYN VERONICA KENT (“Kathryn”) Motto: “Always look to the sun.” Kathryn is the shy little girl with the curly bobbed hair, whose big blue eyes make you feel that she’s the most innocent and offending person in the world. But look out! Those who, misguided by her appearance. have tried to kid her along, have found that “he who laughs last laughs best.” Though Kathryn usually finds time to support the various athletic teams and is present at all the baseball game? with her inseparable chum, Helen. What she most enjoys is to get a good book, a box of candy, and park in some quiet corner. She intends to journey into R. I. C. E. next year, and we expect to hear from her in a few years as a full-fledged schoolma’am.
