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.

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.

First in her classes! first in thinking up fun! first especially when it’s a question of “eats!” “Libby” successfully captained the basketball team for two years and her excellent guarding has been the Waterloo of many of our opponents. The school always has at least one loyal supporter at all the games, for “Sparky” and the Westcott are always there, no matter what the distance or the weather— if the Westcott can make it. “Libby” also finds time to attend social events and can be depended upon to start some fun. Next veer by her winning personality, she will make herself popular at Trinity Colle-re. CATHERINE MARIE FLATLET (“Cath”) Motto: “Tenga Vd. Cuidado!” Catherine is one of these sensible girls, although she is a fine sport and enjoys a good time. She is either overflowing with spirit or she is very-earnest according to the demand of the occasion. If you look for fun or a good time, or should you want help and advice, all will be found in Catherine. Catherine is very fond of Spanish and English. She is also very fond of reading fine literature. She has decided on a normal school training which will fit her for teaching in a convent. Goodbye and good luck, Catherine. MARY IRENE FLYNN (“Mae”) Motto: “Nothing venture, nothing have.” Who? That “petite” young girl in Room 23? Why, that’s our Mary. She has won a high place for herself by dint of hard work for the last four years. All of her teachers will testify to that. They say “good things come in small packages” and that saying certainly holds true for Mary. She is small, but when it comes to mischief, it isn t the smallest part she takes. Mary intends to go to Normal School. We wish her the best of luck. HELEN MAY FOLLETTE (“Happy,” “Hel”) Motto: “A happy disposition contributes more to success in a lije career than any other element,” Come, Helen, smile! There, that’s the way! Live up to your motto! Helen has done exceedingly well during her four years with us. She confesses that her favorite studies are English and Home Management. Her hobby is dancing. We know that you want to keep thin, Helen. Helen expects to enter Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, where she will study nursing. We wonder who the lucky invalids will lie. P. H. S. wishes you good luck and goodbye.
