Her cheerful (and winning) smile can make the dullest hour seem bright. At our dances, meets and games, Al is always surrounded by hopeful admirers. Her reputation for brilliancy, however, is not confined to social activities. She is one of the speediest typists that P. H. S. has ever developed. Al is also deeply interested in art, and her work in applied design testifies to the fact that she has no small amount of artistic ability. When vou're looking for a good sport, a perfect dancer, and a wonderful friend—all hail to Al Adams, Room 27. P. H. S., ’24. Next vcar Al will probably attend the Rhode Island School of Design. RUTH MERLE AITKEN (“Rufus”) Motto “Forgive and Forget.” Ruth is one of our very quietest members. She is very much interested in Domestic Art and we are told that she is a very good cook. What a housekeeper she would make! They say, Ruth, that the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Look out, boys! Ruth is very popular among the girls, especially in the morning. You see, she possesses the largest mirror in the school. Perhaps that accounts for the boys who are seen in that region every morning. We feel sure Ruth w ill make a success in whatever she intends to do next year and wish her all the luck possible. HELEN CURTIS ALDRICH (“Helen”) Motto: “Smile—it won't hurt much.” Helen is a great lover of music, and she is very talented, as those who have heard her sing can readily say. She likes many other things besides, for Mali Jongg has its place among the games, and then she is particularly fond of reading when she has an exciting tale—of course, no other kind would do. Helen says that her best-liked studies are English and applied design, hut it has been noticed that her other ones are not neglected. In all probability. Helen will proceed further into the technique of music, vocal and piano, in the coming year, and who knows what may be in store for this promising artist of the class of ’24.

H. S., we say farewell. Farewell our Alma Mater sweet, Life calls us with a beckoning hand— To hasten our reluctant feet. For four short years thy portals fair, Have kept us safe from harm and strife, And now the time has come when we Must take our places in the fight. Dear P. H. S., the time is here, When our good-byes must fain he said. When we must seek a better road, To win Life’s laurels for our heads. For some, bright Fame shall shine serene Upon the glory thou hast made, And we who find not Fame shall walk As thou hast taught us—unafraid. Dear P. H. S., thy gentle hand Has kept us ever steadfast—free, And all the ideals we have sought Through four bright years—we owe to thee. Grant we may keep thy banners high. As high as they were kept of yore. And keep the standards thou hast taught. The Class of Nineteen Twenty Four. Dear P. H. S., we say farewell— We vow to keep thy teachings safe. And though we pass from out thy gates, We shall not fail—but keep the faith. Unswerving loyalty and truth Shall follow us—although we part. And thy loved memory we’ll keep Within the chambers of our hearts. —J. Geraldine Payne.

Why, it’s little “Hopey” Arnold, the “Farmer” of Room 27. Who said she was quiet? Her circle of intimates could assure you that demure Hope is quite the opposite. She is one of our best rooters and has missed few sport events during her high school career. Every player knows when Hope is present. She isn’t very big, but iny, how she can yell for P. H. S.! Come one, come all. here's three good ones for “Hopey” herself. Hope is one of the most popular girls at P. H. S., and her numerous friends include both teachers and students. Next year Hope will probably enter some business office. Good luck and the best of wishes go with you, Hope. DOROTHY ARNOLD (“Dot”) Motto: “Smilin' Thru.” ASSISTANT MANAGER BASKETBALL (3), MANAGER SWIMMINC (4), SWIMMING TEAM (3) Here’s another specimen of the kind of people whom Garden Street sends forth. Dot’s one of the healthiest girls in school—there isn’t a spare moment that she doesn’t spend outdoors. In the winter, she’s an adept at fancy skating; in the summer, a skillful swimmer, winning life saving tests; in the spring, a devotee of tennis; and in autumn, a never failing figure in our cheering section. Her record as a Girl Scout is one to be envied. Dot’s smile and her cheerful disposition are contagious, and she and her friend “Dot” are always chuckling over something amusing. This fall, “Dot” expects to join the many who will attend the State Normal School. JOHN NELSON ARNOLD (“Jeff’i Motto: “Don’t cross bridges until you come to them.” John is that quiet fellow whom you often see during recess in earnest discussion about radio with some other science shark. “Jeff” has been interested in radio from its very beginning and was one of the first real radio bugs in the school. Besides chemistry, he is fond of mechanical drawing and is one of the stars in that department. He is rather quiet in school, hut when it comes to camping, his friends will tell you that you could not find a better companion than “Jeff.” He has not made any definite plans for the next few years, hut if he works as hard as he has here, he is sure to be successful. NORMAN MILLBlRY BANKART (“Shorty,” “Norm,” “Bank”) Motto: “Never do today what you can do tomorrow.” BASEBALL (41, BASKETBALL (4), SWIMMING (3) (4) “Turn around, Bankart!” Ah, that stocky individual is the notorious “Shorty,” who’s always whispering during class periods. That doesn’t mean that he’s a quiet chap in the halls. Procrastination holds good for him except where athletics are concerned. “Bank” has limited himself to football, track, baseketball, and swimming. Why—the Y gym and Slater Park w'ould be desolate without his presence. Norm has made some big splashes in the swimming world and we know that we’ll hear of him in the future. “Shorty” is popular up at school with everybody, a fact which is partly explained by his dancing ability. Dartmouth will claim Norm next fail when he’ll begin to study intensively.
