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.”

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.

Although he does not take part in any particular form of athletics, he is an ardent supporter both morally and financially. “Mack” has a quiet, sedate look on his physiognomy usually—hut don’t fool yourself. He is a great dispenser of mirth and jollity and his jokes are never stale. “Mack” admits he is not a ladies’ man hut we notice he doesn’t exactly run away from the fairer and weaker sex, and especially from sophomores. Next year Ambrose will go to Brown, to take up chemistry. The best wishes of the class of ’24 go with you, Ambrose. EVERETT JEREMIAH McCabe (“Ev,” “Mac”) Motto: “If you can’t be a light house, be a candle. “Ev” was graduated from Garden Street School, and then came to the portals of P. H. S. to take the scientific course. His chubby face and jovial grin won him instant recognition among the little freshies. Now, even though he is apparently quiet as becomes a sedate senior, “Mac” hardly objects to a little fun occasionally. His special boon companion is Harold, and the two are forever thinking up some new prank to play on an unfortunate victim. His hobby is mathematics and lie has always ranked high in his class. “Mac” hopes to become an engineer when he leaves school—and so he goes to the General Electric College in Boston. LESTER KINGDON McCULLOUGH (“Mac,” “Let”) Motto: “There is so much good in the worst oj us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us.” Behold Lester McCullough—the gallant of P. H. S.! Every day for four long years he has tramped down from the wilderness of his home town of Saylesville to obtain as much knowledge as he could at P. H. S. It seems, too, that he has found things there quite to his taste, especially certain persons of the other sex. Lester’s whole heart and soul is in jazzing, and whenever he appears at a dance, it’s almost a positive fact that one may see him accompanied by a pretty miss of the sophomore class. “Let” says that he can’t tell exactly what he’ll do next year, though it may be college. Whatever it is, he'll always be remembered by the class of ’’24. GRACE VERONICA McDONALD (“Mac”) Motto: “IVhere there’s life, there’s hope.” Petite, blue-eyed Grace is one of our favorites. Many P. H. S. girls have envied Grace’s sunny disposition. When you meet a girl tripping through our halls, humming snatches of a popular song, with twinkling eyes and a smile on her lip—that’s our Grace. And Grace is no mean dancer; at our proms and receptions, she is always the center of a group of admirers. She is also a first-class rooter, and whenever we have won a game or meet, Grace is there to celebrate; whenever we’ve lost, optimistic Grace cheers up the bunch. Next year, Grace expects to become a second “Tillie the Toiler,” and we are all sure she’ll be a great success.
