He is one of the few boys of P. H. S. who have this characteristic and his l est known characteristics are his extreme bashfulness and timidity, especially with the young ladies of the school. “Chick” is no mean hand at reading, which he enjoys doing better than anything else. He would say, “Give me a book, or give me death!” Another favorite pastime of his is pole vaulting. No wonder some call him “Professor.” Leo intends to enter Providence College after leaving P. H. S. and we all wish him the best of luck. LILLIAN FRANCES DRISCOLL (“Lil”) Motto: ‘7 5 always darkest just before the daien.” ORCHESTRA (2l (3) Did you say she was quiet? You don’t know half of it! Lillian is one of our diligent students, but she can be mighty jolly at the same time. She has been combining the normal and commercial courses during her four years at P. H. S. while the rest of us have had all we could do to manage one of these. R. I. C. E. will probably have the honor of her presence next year and some day she’ll be teaching. Lucky pupils, we ll say. Success to you in your future undertakings, Lillian. RICHARD DUCKWORTH (“Ducky,” “Dick”) Motto: “Live and learn ” Here he is—one of the handsomest boys in P. H. S. “Dick” has always been popular w ith the fair sex—and for that matter with the other portion of the student body and the faculty as well. He is a good dancer and almost every high school festivity is graced with his presence. “Ducky” is a good soccer player and also “shines” in basketball. He intends to continue at some higher institution of learning next year. Best wishes. “Dick.” JOHN THOMAS DDL GALL (“Johnnie,” “Jack.” “Birdie” Motto: “Aide-toi. le del tJ aid era. TRACK (1) (2l (3) (4), CAPTAIN TRACK (4 . BASKETBALL (4), MANAGER BASKETBALL (4), FOOTBALL (3) (4), HOCKEY (2) (3) (4) When high-jump is mentioned around the school. “Birdie” stands in the lime-light. His man-sized figure has caused many a heart to flutter liope-fully. but still be remains immune. “Birdie” has also been our mainstay at center on the school eleven for the past two years. He intends to enter Georgetown University where we feel sure he will find as warm a group of admirers as lie has had at P. H. S.

She has attained hisrh averages in all her studies, but she excels especially in I nited States History and stenography. She is also interested in any form of athletics. Next year Florence will continue her studies at Bryant and Stratton College, where she will prepare for a career as either a court stenographer or a private secretary. She will, without doubt, become very successful at either of these positions, because she has demonstrated skill in her studies. LLOYD WESLEY DENNIS, JR. (“Wes,” “Denny”) Motto: Be natural.” TRACK (4),DEBATING (4), GLEE CLUB (3) (4), ORCHESTRA ( 1 ) (2) (3) )4) Lloyd is a native of our big city. He is always in great haste, and whether he is going to orchestra practice, where his violin helps to make some of the melodious sounds that we hear during the sixth period, or whether he is just “tearing” up the corridor to get a little track practice, we leave it to you to find out. Lloyd’s favorite studies are English and history, while algebra is the contrary. Lloyd has not as yet decided upon the institution which he will attend next fall, but wherever it is, Lloyd, the students of P. II. S. wish you good luck. MARION DORIS DEYOE (“Dot,” “Dorrie” Motto: Laugh, love, and lift.' DRAMATICS (4), “GREEN STOCKINGS” (4) Here’s the kind of a girl that everyone knows and everyone likes. She always wears a smile and a good word for all. “Dorrie” is active in Student Club work, and her favorite pastime is dancing. Until recently. Doris didn’t show her dramatic ability, but her chance came in “Sally and Co.” “Dot” expects to hold down a position as “Somebody’s Stenog” next year, and the Class of 1926 is certain that Doris will remain that bright and merry girl that she has always been. CECILIA PAULINE DILLON (“Cecile,” “Celia”) Motto: “Be good, and you’ll be happy, but you’ll miss a lot of fun.” Cecilia, the girl who is hardly ever serious and who always keeps you laughing with her funny stories. Cecilia is quite tall and has brown hair and blue eyes. She spends a lot of her time reading and dancing, and her favorite outdoor sport is tennis. Cecilia frankly confides to us that she intends to be a second Helen Wills. She is going to attend Normal School and we know she will meet with success there.

One’s pen feels just a trifle shy At writing things to fit. At editing, and things like that, She certainly arrives. hile as for marks! she has the trick Of always getting fives. Her glasses that she wears so prim Are really a disguise To give a wise and knowing air To keen observant eves. Compared with us poor dubs, she is Most certainly peculiar, But after all is said and done We think a lot of Julia. CATHERINE EVANS Motto: “knowledge is foresight and foresight is power” LINCOLN ESSAY CONTEST Catherine is one of the studious pupils in Room 23. She came to P. H. S. this year and has made many friends. She says she prefers German of all her studies. Catherine distinguished herself lately by winning the prize for the ‘‘Essay on Abraham Lincoln.” Although it was difficult for her to get used to the ways of our school she has made the Honor Roll right along. Next year Catherine will go to Beloit College. We wish her the best of luck. EDMUND JOSEPH FARRELL (“Ed,” “Eddie”) Motto: “Live and let live” TRACK (4), BASKETBALL (4) Here we have one of those quiet l?l little Seniors for whom Room 23 has become famous in the past year. “Ed,” with the aid of the able Prof. Mara, has performed some new and startling experiments—in the absence of Mr. Wolfe. He always has a new story of his adventures to tell, and though some of them may grow a little in the telling, he is always sure of a crowd of appreciative listeners. Bending the speed laws with a “Times” truck is his favorite pastime. But although he doesn’t wear his hooks out studying them, his name can usually he found on the Honor Roll. Next fall “Ed” hopes to wear the little brown cap.
