Uutiiiuiiiiiin: iiiiuii; mi linin' mini m: i mmnm Pawtucket Hich School illlWIIMlin IllllllllltlllllllllllllllU 1924 30 AMBROSE McALEVY (“Mack”) Motto: “If you don’t see what you want, take it.” “Mack” is another of that fine bunch of fellows that congregate in room 24. 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.

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.”

Despite the fact that she constantly assures us that she “doesn’t know a thing,” we notice that more than one five appears on her report. Much to the wonder of some of her less fortunate classmates, Ethel is on intimate terms with irgil. of whom she hasn’t the slightest fear. Latin isn’t her chief amusement, however, for she is an active member of the Student Club, and takes part in a great man activities at the “Y” and elsewhere. Ethel expects to enter Pembroke in the fall, where we feel confident that she will continue her good record. 31 mniiBWtmuMm S--------------Iwj BERTHA ELIZABETH McKEE (“Bert,” “Red”) Motto: “Trifles make perfection, hut perfection is no trifle Ouiet! Well, you don’t know “Bert. In arithmetic class, she furnishes all the amusement, while many others receive the blame. ’Hf You ought also to see ’Red ‘ at the “Y. W.” guarding the tall irginia. She certainly is lively there. As for studying, although Bert does most of it between 8:29 (that’s the time she generally arrives) until 8:10, I in some mysterious way, she manages to obtain good marks. Outside ‘ 1 of school, “Bert’s” favorite pastime seems to he entertaining her girl kf friends. Her specialty is telling ghost stories—the weirdest ever heard. Next vear. Red” intends to enroll, with the rest of her P. H. S. pals, in [■W m V R. I. c. E. ANNA CECELIA McMAHON (“Ann”) Motto: “Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone. CLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY Yea, Ann! The girl who is always chasing the jokes around P. H. S. for the Cleaner, of course. But Ann doesn’t confine herself to that sport—you should see her fingers fly over the keys, one minute playing a Mozart sonata, and the next, the latest jazz music. Anna adores skating above all things, with basketball ranking second. Next September will find “Ann” learning to he a strict, stern teacher at the R. I. C. E., following the example of her beloved “Joe.” No matter how cruel a maitress she may turn out to he. no future pupil of our Anna could help loving her. We speak from experience. ALFRED FRANCIS MELUCCI (“Al”l Motto: “Where there’s a will there’s a way’’ Enter Melucci—dancer, tennis player, ice-skater, and auto speeder. With all his accomplishments, “Al” is an inveterate reader of chemistry books. His earnestness is manifested by his diligent study. He takes keen delight in eluding the speed cops. Alfred is also a constant patron of the dance hall, where he is practically a “sheik” with all the little girls who chase after him with imploring eyes. Apropos to movies, “Al’s” ideas are rather puritanical as he thinks they are a detriment to morality. Alfred doesn't know exactly what he will do next year, hut wherever he goes, the best wishes of good old P. H. S. are sure to follow.
