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.

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.

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?

RICHARD CANAVAN (“Dick” I Motto: ‘'Procrastination is the thief of time.” A new arrival from La Salle is “Dick.” who. besides being a student, manages to startle the natives of the Attleboro by tearing through the countryside at twelve and a half miles per hour in a “Times” truck. Although “Dick has attended La Salle for the past three years, he is now a loyal member of P. H.

The best of luck to you, “Don,” both in studies and athletics. OLIVE DELPHINE CHENETTE Motto: “Keep serene.” ORCHESTRA (I) (2) Olive, or “Olivino,” as she more affectionately is called, is an ideal school chum. She is loyal and devoted and ever willing to answer an S. O. S. signal. Her quiet humor and witty comments are always on hand to replace gloomy furrows by wrinkles of laughter. She is a lover of sports, tennis being her favorite; incidentally she is a good sport herself in that she doesn’t mind a few bumps on the ice or on a hill. She is studious enough to play square with herself and her teachers, although her laurels lie in history. She is a devotee of the Muses, too. Her kindness and bigness of heart are revealed in the fact that she intends to become a trained nurse, although on leaving P. H. S. in June she plans to venture into somebody’s office and chew away her pencil studying over some devastating shorthand notes.
