mum mu n i 18 Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 JOHN KENNETH BROWN (‘‘Ken” “Brownie”I Motto: “Live and learn” “Ken” is a very obliging and cheerful young man. He is the boy with the melancholy voice and can generally l e heard long before he is seen. “Ken’s” one misfortune is his shyness, but he doesn't let that worry him. He is a great pal. and is always ready to help others. His ever-present smile and ready friendliness have done as much for Ken as dancing, etc., have done for some of our sheiks. Keep it up. “Ken. we’re counting on you to make good. LEO PHILIP BROWN (“Brownie,” “Curly”) Motto: Be it ever so homely, there is no face like your own. BASKETBALL (31 (1), DRAMATICS (3) (4), GLEE CLUB (3) (4). GLEANER (4), CLASS BOOK (4), OPERETTA (41, HONOR SOCIETY Here he is. folks—step right up—line forms at the right—and meet “Red Hot Leo Brown.” Yes sir. that’s just who he is! A pair of sparkling eyes, a head of curly hair and a smile that you can’t forget— that’s “Brownie.” He’s a real “gloom-chaser,” always ready to amuse his friends with his ready wit and clever tricks. “Brownie” is one of our basketball luminaries and is one of the most accomplished actors in the Dramatic Society, having gained recognition through his ability to play character parts. Au revoir. Leo, and the best of good luck and good wishes in all your future undertakings. LUCY WHALEY BROWN (“Tude,” “Lu”) Motto: “The way to have a friend is to he one” We welcomed to our class this year a young lady from Westerly High School. Of course you have seen her in Room 17. a quiet miss surrounded by a group of friends attentively listening to what she is saying; for when “Lu” tells something, it generally is interesting and makes one glad to know her. Lucy intends to train at the Homeopathic Hospital in Providence next September. We are sure that she will make a successful nurse and her classmates of P. H. S. wish her the best of luck. CATHERINE GENEVIEVE BUCKLEY (“Kitty.” “Kath”) Motto: “Laugh and the class laughs with you; stay after school and you stay alone .” by, here's “Kath”—she of the lovely auburn curls and a natural marcel that is the envy of half the feminine element of the school. “Kath” came to us from Darlington and has proved herself a fine friend and classmate to all who know her. Catherine loves to dance and often “trips the light fantastic” in her leisure hours. She will enter R. I. C. E. in the fall. We are sure that she will be successful, and that her future pupils will all be fine scholars. For how could it be otherwise with such a charming teacher to instruct them?

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.

Why, that is Curtis. He has been with us at P. H. S. for four years and has made a great many friends here. Whenever you see Curtis, he is always smiling, and this has helped him much in forming his friendships. He does not know what he is going to do next year, but whatever he does, or wherever he goes, the best w ishes of the ('lass of ’26 go with him.

EVE GERTRUDE CALLAND (“Eve”) Motto: “A little nonsense non and then is relished by the best oj men.” Who is it that runs into Room 21C at 8:29 A. M.? Why. it's Eve! Of course, in that case, one minute is as good as five, for Eve is seldom late. She is our petite classmate who just radiates cheerfulness and good humor. If you’re feeling blue, just talk to Eve and she’ll surely have something funny to tell you about what happened in chemistry or English. Even exams hold no terrors for Eve for she has kept a good scholastic record during her four years at P. H. S. Good luck for the future. Eve.
