CLEF. CLUB (4) You’ve all seen that girl down at the third period lunch who carries a tray laden with food enough for ten. haven’t you! Well, that s Harriet, our promising young poet. She writes many poems hut only her best friends ever see them; it’s a pity the Gleaner doesn’t catch her. Harriet’s favorite period is the one she spends for lunch, only its not long enough for her. She hopes to take up journalism next year at Brown. Good luck. Harriet, see you in the limes. HOPE BRADFORD (“Hopeless,” “Hoppy”) Motto: “Stop! Look! Listen! Hut not on the way to lunch” Hope would lead one to believe that she is shy and quiet, hut that is not so, for when she is among her most intimate friends she is quite another person. If you are lucky enough to be one of her close friends you know her as a jolly and fun-loving girl. One could hardly speak of Hope without mentioning her inseparable pal, “Sis. They certainly are the Siamese Twins. If you see one of them somewhere, you are sure to see the other, too. Hope intends to start life as a business woman. We wish you tin best of success, Hope. HERBERT ARTHUR BRADLEY (“Herb”) Motto: “Keep smiling” GLEE CLUB (4) Bradley is one of those studious, good-natured fellows who sits in Room 21C. He is one of the very few that are never late for school— not a bad habit. Bradley says he hasn’t any favorite subject hut we think he likes history the best. After school and evenings he works in a drug store, and he plans to go to a School of Pharmacy in the near future. The students of P. H. S. wish him the best of luck. ALBERTA ZITA BRENNAN (“Bert”) Motto: “Never worry” CAPTAIN CLASS BASKETBALL (4). TRACK (3) If you can count “Bert ’ as one of your friends, you are certainly lucky. You can’t be blue when she is around for she comes bouncing along with her contagious smile that catches everyone, and chases your troubles away. She is the kind of person who always manages to face her troubles with a smile. “Bert” has great school spirit, too. and she always supports the various activities with the usual “gang of girls. Her hobby is dancing the Charleston, usually accompanied by her own singing of some popular song. Believe me, you can’t heat her either. The Normal School will probably see her next year and we hope she has the best of luck. Smile on, “Bert.” and the world is bound to smile back to you.

CLASS BASKETBALL (2) (3) (4) Petite, vivacious “Buddy”! Always the center of attraction. School activities make up a great part of “Bud’s” routine, especially where dancing is concerned. Even though she is devoted to tripping the light fantastic, her studies are never neglected. Her favorite subject is English if marks have anything to do with it. Other things also claim “Bud’s” attention at school, as anyone passing 21C at a recess hour could readily see. We know that everyone in old P. H. S. will miss “Bud's” smile, but if any of us come back next year, we will probably meet her, as she intends to take a P. G. before continuing her studies at Brown. ALFRED EARL BINFORD (“Al”) “A1‘ is one of the tall, cpiiet members of our class. However, he is well known throughout the school by his genial personality and ready wit. Although “Al” does not spend much time in school, he has accomplished a great deal in the two years that he has been here. We do not know what he intends to do next year, but we feel sure that he will come out on top. Best of luck, “Al.” GLADYS MARION BLISS (“Glad,” “Seekonk”) Motto: “Never do tomorrow what can be done today BASKETBALL (4), GLEE CLUB (4) Gladys, the friend of all, is rather quiet while in the class-room, but she makes up for it at the proper time. No game would be complete without her in the front line cheering our boys and girls. For the past four years “Glad has travelled daily from Seekonk to P. H. S., never thinking the weather too unfavorable even in the season's worst snowstorms. Next year we will see her resuming her studies at R. I. C. E. and the best wishes of her classmates go with her. ALFRED HENRY BOOKER (“Al”) Motto: “Qui vivra. verra DRAMATICS (3) (4), “GREEN STOCKINGS” (4) Who is the versatile young man who can so easily and realistically take the part of a boy in his 'teens or an old man Why, “Al” Booker, of course. “Al” has been in practically every Dramatic Society play for the past two years. Perhaps most of us will remember him as the eccentric “Cappv Ricks,” which part “Al” acted remarkably well. Although “Al” has not been on our debating team, he can debate and has much knowledge of parliamentary law. He is undecided as to his next year’s plans, but we are sure that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. Good luck. “AL”

Here conies Brennan, the official photographer of P. H. S. He and his little camera are sure to he seen at every high school activity. Although “Art” is an ardent “birdie” man, he has another hobby—and that is dramatics. Arthur has proved his ability in this field more than once. In his studies Brennan, though not a “shark,” has managed to secure good marks. Arthur intends to continue next year at some higher institution of learning, and there’s no doubt but that he will be as successful there as he was in P. H. S. LOUISE STICK EY BRIDEN (“Lou”) Motto: “The thought that goes the farthest toward, making life worth while, that costs the least. and does the most, is just a pleasant smile .” DRAMATICS (3) (4), GLEE CLUB (3) (4), STUDENT CLUB PRESIDENT (4), SENIOR PLAY COMMITTEE (4), VICE-PRESIDENT DRAMATIC SOCIETY (4) “Lou” has one of those perpetual smiles that simply won’t come off. She is of a very lovable nature and declares that she “loves everybody.” Maybe that is one of the reasons why everyone is so fond of her, especially the “opposite sex.” A glance at her picture will give you another reason why they all “fall so hard.” “Lou” is undecided as to what she will do after graduation but at present plans to attend Mount Ida School. Whatever she does, we are sure she will make a success of it. and be just as popular and well-loved as she is here. EMILY RUTH BROWN (“Brownie”) Motto: “Never say ‘no.’ say ‘maybe’.” GLEE CLUB (4) Ruth, or “Brownie,” is very humorous, good-natured and sincere. She is everybody’s friend. Her one ambition is to be “Somebody’s Stenog.” She is willing to attempt anything just to be agreeable. Her hobby is, undoubtedly, dancing. She has another, too, that she doesn’t know about and that is talking. Her favorite subjects are shorthand and English. How about it. Ruth? Ruth likes P. II. S. and P. H. S. likes her, and it wishes her the best of luck when she enters the business world. HOPE BROWN (“Brownie”) Motto: “Service. not pleasure, is life.” Yes. this is our sweet, demure, little Hope, whose winning ways have won for her many friends. Hope is never seen taking any books home, yet she manages to do very well in her studies. Her favorite subject is biology. Hope intends to go in training next year in order to become a nurse. Imagine our Hope in a uniform! Won’t she look cute? Of course she hopes to get her millionaire husband in a sanitorium. The best of luck, Hope.
