While not very large physically, intellectually he is one of the shining lights of the c lass, lie has completed a scientific course in three years, besides finding time to enliven the orchestra with his fiddle, which he plays to perfection. As for his rank in outside interests, “Bill” was chosen from all the Scouts in the city to fill the mayor’s chair for one memorable day. He is undecided whether to enter Brown next year and specialize in radio work or to study music. Whichever course he follows, he has the best wishes of the class. DEXTER SNOW LUTHER (“Red”) Motto: “Believe in your own ideas until convinced otherwise” That's “Red,” the one who's chuckling at everything and anything. Perched on a desk in 29 during recess, you can even now see him laughing when he’s not being chased around the room, for lie’s a demon with the erasers and chalk. His outstanding characteristic is his auburn hair, with that constant part. “Red' is also endowed with an abundance of freckles which are a sure sign of his good nature. You don't have to speak twice to him about tickets for school activities. The sciences are his delight and no doubt that is the reason for his steady use of the lab. R. 1. State will further him in his career as an engineer. DORIS SLATER MacCANN (“Dot”) Motto: “Nothing s impossible.” BASKETBALL (3) (4), SWIMMING (3) (41, CAPTAIN SWIMMING (4), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (4) “Hee! Hee! Hah!” We need no introduction to that laugh: it’s “Dot.” Her perpetual good-humor is infectious and her polysyllabic giggle has broken forth on many a solemn occasion, to the dismay of the faculty, and to the glee of the class. “Dot” is one of the most popular girls of our class, for she certainly has some winning wavs. She has shown her prowess in athletics as a member of both the basketball and swimming teams. In the fall, “Dot” expects to grace the halls of the Rhode Island State College, in company with her inseparable friend, Virginia. The best of luck. “Dot.” HAZEL LILLIAN MARSH (“Sally”) Motto: “On with the dance” HONOR SOCIETY, DRAMATICS (3) (41, RECEPTION COMMITTEE (4) Hazel is one of our “flapper” group, and she is among the cutest of them. The word dance is a magic one to her. for if anyone mentions the subject, away she goes, and my. but she can dance! Hazel excels not only in gliding around the dance hall floor, but she has taken part in ever so many plays. Then, too, the P. H. S. Honor Roll claims her as the list comes out. She is a perfect wonder at math and furnishes a great amount of fun that period. Hazel doesn't know yet what she will do in the future, but it’s certain that she won't forsake her beloved dancing.

1924 Pawtucket High School 27 EMMA FRANCES PORTER LENNON Motto: “Sink or swim.” SWIMMING 131 (41, CAPTAIN SWIMMING (3) DRAMATICS (4) Enthusiasm goes for a lot and Emma surely has plenty of that estimable quality. She believes that a laugh carries more weight than a frown and not infrequently is up to—mischief, shall we say? Emma is renowned for her skill in swimming. She helped her team to go through the season with but one defeat. You never fail to find her at all the school activities and by keeping up scholastically we consider her a good member of our illustrious class. Her ambitions lead her toward R. I. State, and we hope she’ll be there next year with the rest of the P. H. S. crowd. HELEN BERNARDINE LENNON (‘ Helen”) Motto: “Nothing is impossible.” See that good-looking girl with those sparkling eyes, and merry face? That’s Helen, the official “gloom-chaser.” With her enchanting smile and ready wit she makes you forget all your troubles. She is, to quote Milton, “buxom, blithe and debonair.” Helen is fond of a good time and spends her evenings in “tripping the light fantastic toe.” Helen’s forte is English; she certainly knows how to write a billet doux. Studies never seem to worry her, but. nevertheless, she manages to obtain good marks. Rhode Island State looks good to Helen and next year will probably see her resuming her studies there. CATHERINE ELIZABETH LEONARD (“Kath,” “K”) Motto: “Nothing ventured, nothing won.” There’s no one in P. H. S. who doesn't know “Kath,” the sparkling little brunette with the gay laugh that is always in evidence. “Kath” made her debut into our midst four long years ago, and she liked us so well that she has stayed ever since. She hasn’t wasted any time either, for besides being popular and a good sport, “Kath” is an ardent devotee of Terpsichore and never misses an opportunity to trip the light fantastic. Next year “Kath” hopes to grace the halls of R. I. C. E. We know she ll be a success wherever she goes. Good luck. “Kath.” ROSE DOROTHY LEVIN (“Curly”) Motto: “What other fools have done. I can do.” “Curly” is that bright eyed girl of room 24. Nearly everyone knows her, for are not her black curly hair and large brown eyes the source of envy of nearly all the girls? Although she is serious at times, we all know that the twinkle in her eye leaps out every so often and how — the boys do fall! Ask Frank, he knows. Next year Rose expects to go to a secretarial college where she hopes to gain sufficient know ledge to become a private secretary to some lucky business man. We wish her the best of luck, and hope that all her dreams w ill be fulfilled.

29 ] 921 Pawtucket Hich School PAUL MARTIN MARTESIAN (“Paul”) Motto: “Do not pul off until tomorrow ’ Our class is blessed with at least three math sharks, and Paul is not the least of them. Ever since grammar school, his quick solution of difficult problems in arithmetic has bewildered us, and he is no less adept at geometry and algebra. He is on quite intimate terms with the bane of all Latin students—Virgil, and he says chemistry is not so hard as it appears. Yet. he declares his favorite study to be English. Paul has decided that his next field of endeavor will lie in the direction of Brunonia, and so next year he will help to represent us at that University. RICHARD FLOYD MARTIN (“Dick”) Motto: “Don't do it until you have to. DRAMATICS (3) (4), PROPERTY MANAGER “BELIEVE ME XANTIPPE” (4) Who does not know this merry-faced lad, one of the most popular members of our class. “Dick” is a quiet, studious fellow, but when school hours are over, he is a lively, cheerful chap. His latest accomplishment is dancing and he sure does spend a lot of time in practicing his steps with a pretty, young junior. His favorite studv is public speaking. He is also a very active member of the Dramatic Club. His smiling countenance is either to be seen over tbe footlights or evidence of his labors is displayed in the scenic end of the play. This young prodigy intends to go to M. I. T. to become a mechanical engineer. NORMAN FREDERICK MARTY (“Norman”) Motto: “Let the other fellow do the worrying.” This sample of conspicuous good-humor is Marty, the boy wonder. Being a trifle robust, he has to live up to the requirements of people of plumpness and consequently has a very happy, free-from-care disposition. Although he has never been known to suffer from over-study, he always amazes us by knowing his lessons in all his studies. His ever-ready wit and humor have won him many friends during his four years at P. H. S.; and if the future can be judged by the past, they will continue to win many more for him. After leaving Pawtucket, Marty will enter the business world, from whence we expect to hear many good things of him in the future. EDGAR EUGENE MAYNARD (“Fat,” Felix,” “Eddie”) Motto: “Better late than never.” “Edd ie’ has acquired speed since he entered the archways of the Pawtucket High. Nearly every morning you might see him somewhere in Goff s Lot about 8:27. Then with a burst of surprising speed our Marathon runner slips into his seat just as the bell has stopped ringing. Felix” is bis nickname among the fellows who know him well. He always has the same grin from ear to ear so that—you know. Never does he miss a joke on the faculty and he is the originator of several himself. He intends to enter Brown in the fall, where the engineering course will claim his attention. The class of '2d wishes you the best of luck. “Eddie.”
