It takes a long time to produce it. but when it arrives—now you know how one person “gets by.” Perhaps everyone doesn’t know that big. broad-shouldered. brown-sweatered boy of room 24. Now’s your chance to gain a little knowledge. “Ed” is usually at home unless it’s lunch period (which, by the way, is his favorite one). “Ed” is going is going to surprise us some day and come in prepared. Better warn the faculty before-hand, although we adore having the dear teachers absent. Edward is following a business pathway. It may be long, but there is always an end. Well, good luck, and a speedy saunter, “Ed.” MARY ANGELA KELLY (“Mary”) Motto: “Keep smiling.” We’re not going to reiterate that tiresome saying about good things coming in small packages because one only has to know Mary to see that that’s true. Mary’s the girl with the lovely color and the merry laugh, who never misses a basketball game, and gets, oh, terribly excited when P. H. S. doesn’t win. We think there must be a friend on the team but Mary just blushes. She’s very fond of entertaining and gives such thrilling parties. Judging from that, one might think Mary aspired to be a society matron, but she intends to go to Sargent. Somehow we can’t see her teaching physical culture. A La Salle boy, perhaps, eh, Mary? RICHARD JAMES KEOUGH (‘ Dick”) Motto: “Don't do anything somebody else will do for you.” HOCKEY (2 I (3) (4), FOOTBALL (4), SECRETARY A. A. (4), SENIOR RECEPTION (4), MANAGER TENNIS (4) No one in P. H. S. calls him anything but “Dick,” and they all know him, even the little Sophs. Dick's “rushed them all. “Variety’s the spice of life,” so “Dick” thinks, for we never see him at a prom with the same girl twice, and incidentally, when it comes to dancing, he's no mean amateur. Dick's equally as good on the football field and this winter he helped win laurels for Pawtucket by his skill at hockey. “Dick” says he isn't sure where he'll go next year and though he doesn't believe a bit in hurrying, he always gets there. Good luck. Dick! EARL ALFRED LAPLANTE (“Earl”) Motto: “Love one; love everyone.” TRACK (3) (4) Find the Buick and you find Earl! He is always everywhere with his car, full of pep and enthusiasm. Though some think him shy we are inclined to doubt it. Earl can step in two different ways: socially and the way P. H. S. best remembers him; that is, holding a position on our splendid track team for two years. As a dasher and relay man he has shown his ability. Being one of the fastest track men in the school doesn't bother Earl much, and we find him the same pleasing fellow that he has been during his four years at P. H. S. Earl plans to go to R. I. School of Design next year and we know that he will crash his way through for some more speedy records.

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.

26 Pawtucket Hich School 1924 CATHERINE RITA LAVEN (“Kitty”) Motto: “Laugh at misfortune or misfortune will laugh at you.” DRAMATICS (4) “Kitty’s” the girl who will come in late, despite her efforts to get here on time. But she has such a hearty laugh and such an engaging smile that the teachers just have to smile on her and forgive her. Everyone knows how talented she is as an actress and more than once “Kitty” has proved to us that she can talk even faster than she can think. And that’s saying something! “Kitty’s” ready wit and sunny disposition have endeared her to many during her four years at P. H. S. and we know she’ll lie just as popular at the College of Education where she intends to go next year. FRANCES ALBERTA LAVENDIER (“Fran”) Motto: “Slowly but surely wins the way.” HONOR SOCIETY We all admire the girl who can combine studiousness with pleasure. Frances is the possessor of such a quality. She has brought with her from St. Cecile’s the reputation of being a most diligent girl in her studies. Besides this she won a prize for being one of the best writers and received a Palmer diploma. Frances is also quite an accomplished pianist and we should not lie surprised some day to find her booked among the famous pianists of the age. Frances doesn’t know exactly what she expects to do next year but whatever she undertakes we wish her the best of luck. MARGUERITE FLORENCE LEBEL (“Marguerite”) Motto: “Make haste slowly.” Marguerite’s that demure little girl with the charming smile, who sits in 24. Like the little flower she’d like to blush unseen but we’re just not going to let her. Behind that quiet smile lies a world of good fellowship and sportsmanship, and though she’d like us to think that she’s demure, that twinkle in her eyes gives her away. She’s not very easv to know at first, but when one makes her acquaintance, there’s a loyal friend and a true-blue chum. Marguerite is very fond of English and hopes to put her talents to work on journalism but if she doesn’t, Marguerite savs she will go to the College of Education. The best of luck! DOROTHY FRANCES LEES (“Dot”) Motto: “Be prepared.” HONOR SOCIETY “Dot” is one of those quiet girls that enter the high school unobtrusively but after four years leave a fine scholarship record behind them. “Dot” believes that “actions speak louder than w'ords” and her four years at P. H. S. have indeed reflected that idea. She is held in high esteem by her fellow students and holds a long record on the Honor Roll. Her favorite study is Latin, and she is a shark in that as her class can testify. “Dot” likes all outdoor sports and can always be seen with her many friends skating, or engaging in some other out-of-door pastime. Next year, Brown will claim “Dot” and the class of ’24 wishes her all success.
