Her dry humor, jolly comments and humorous opinions are a source of mirth and interest. Her favorite subjects are French and English. She likes sports in general, perhaps preferring history. She is an accomplished musician, having even been broadcast several times. She intends to join the stenographers’ union and enter some office to wear herself away with stenographic troubles. ESTHER COHEN (“E,” “Es.” “Esther”) Motto: “A gay, serene spirit is the source of all that is noble and good.” Who says we haven’t any live wires in our class? Here’s one all right. You can always tell when “Es” is around, for she is usuallv in the midst of her chums, giggling over some mysterious joke. “Es” is an enthusiastic lover of sports, and her voice can always be heard from the cheering section. She is undecided about her future plans, but we all know that success will be hers in whatever she undertakes to do. Good luck. “Es”! HELEN EMERIA COLEMAN (“Babe”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.” “Sweet” is the word to describe this little girl with the soft brown hair and blue eyes. Reading seems to be her favorite pastime, but we are not sure that dancing does not take first place. Where you find Irene you usually find Helen. To know her is to love her as all her friends can vouch for. We sincerely hope and feel that when she enters the hard business world next year she will be esteemed among her associates and will prove her worth as she has at P. H. S. EDNA LOUISE CONLEY (“Teddy”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” ORCHESTRA (1), CLEE CLUB (4) This is “Teddy,” one of the jolliest members of the Class of 26. Whenever there is no fun she makes it, so we can never feel blue when in her company. Her wavy, unbobbed tresses are the object of much admiration from all her classmates. Can we ever forget her coiffure and that rig she wore Freak Day? English is her favorite study, but “Teddy” likes all her other subjects. She is also the star bookkeeper (?) in her class. Next year she will enter the business world. Best of luck, “Teddy.”

I I II I I 1920 Pawtucket Senior Hicii School 21 ALFRED CLARK (“Al”) Molto: “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, others have greatness thrust upon them.” CHEMISTRY TEAM (4), FIRST PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY ESSAY CONTEST (4) Alfred Clark is next on the list. He is a studious and a serious individual, but he is well liked by all. He can usually overcome all obstacles, but his stiffest opposition, just al present, is his attempt to become acquainted with his new deep voice. We must admit that he annoys Mr. Wolfe because he enjoys talking to certain young damsels in the lecture room. Clark is an enterprising and conscientious chap, and it was only recently that he showed us his ability in the literary and chemistry field. All of us wish him the best of luck in his college life at Brown. ELIZABETH CLARK (“Betty,” “Libby,” “Liz”) Molto: “Be a sport.” CLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY “Betty” is one of the students who has been on the Honor Roll ever since she began high school. She is studious, but this does not mean that she doesn’t have time for other things. “Betty” has plenty of school spirit as well. She attends many of the games and plays and is always ready to give her support when possible. “Betty’s” favorite study is English. She intends next year to go to Vermont University and we wish her the best of luck. IRENE BERN ADI E CLARKE (“Rene,” Kid”) Motto: “Smile and hustle.” GLEE CLUB (3) (4) You know “Rene,” that attractive girl in Room 21C, of course. She is of medium height, has brown hair, blue eyes and a pleasing personality. “Rene” belongs to our Glee Club and is considered a very good singer. The things that “Rene” likes to do best are reading, dancing and playing tennis. Rene” intends to be somebody’s “stenog” and tells us that she will study at Bryant Stratton’s Business College. P. H. S. wishes you the best of luck, Rene.” FRANCES WINIFRED CLAYTON GLEANER (4), HONOR SOCIETY Frances came to us during our Junior year and since then her stories have helped to make our fiction department what it is today. Frances says she likes English best, but we notice that her other studies do not suffer. She may be seen surrounded by a group of girls in Room 27 sending them into gales of laughter by her brilliant wit. Some day Frances may be one of our modern authoresses, nevertheless, what ever she does, she will always remain true to dear old P. H. S.

Do you accept “Hillside” as a compromise, Ed? Bugling is his favorite amusement, much to the despair of the neighbors, I presume. He has become exceedingly proficient in his favorite art, however, but forgets his bugle when requested to play in public. In “Ed” we have one of those remarkable students who never carry home books but remain brilliant nevertheless. Except for his fiery epithets, Edward is a very good boy. CATHERINE 1MELDA COYLE (“Kay,” “Cath ”) Motto: “Be a live wire and you’ll never get stepped on.” Who is that “petite” brunette who sits in 22C amidst a throng of admirers? It is none other than our own little Kay,” as usual the center of fun and laughter. Kay’s favorite pastime is dancing and we know she more than “trips the light fantastic.” Since “tvpe” is her favorite subject we expect to see her in some office working for a very fortunate employer. Although we envy “Kay’s” future surroundings, we proudly send her forth with our very best wishes for success. JOHN JOSEPH CROMPTON (“Jack”) Motto: “Honesty is the best policy.” “Jack” is that very sociable chap who comes all the way from Fair-lawn. Everyone knows “Jack because he is so agreeable and good-natured. Ask him to do anything and he always does it. You look in Room 22C in the morning and you will always see “Jack” surrounded by a group of friends reading the morning paper over his shoulder. “Jack” chooses trigonometry and chemistry as his favorite studies. He is fond of all kinds of balls, such as baseball, basketball and policeman’s balls. Next year “Jack” is going to take up drafting in Brown Sharpe’s. The Class of 1926 feels sure that he will be successful in this line of work and will be a credit to P. H. S. EUNICE ELIZABETH CULLEN (“Lu”) Motto: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” To general observers Eunice is a model pupil who spends much of her time studying, but a whole lot more having a good time. If you ever want to find her, look around for Rae Kenyon and she will be there, too. Eunice declares English and history to 1 her favorite studies and we don’t much wonder when we see the marks on her report card. She loves to drive an auto and we hope she won’t run up anv telegraph poles before she enters Rhode Island College of Education next fall.
