Being of a very quiet hut sweet disposition, she is liked by all who know her. Although “Dot” is seen most of the time studying, she finds time to support the school activities. She, too, will enter the commercial world after she leaves P. H. S., and we wish her the best of luck and happiness in her future work as a student of Brvant and Stratton’s. MARGARET MARY FOSTER (“Peg,” “Peggy”) Motto: Today we launch; where will be anchor?” CAPTAIN CLASS BASKETBALL (3), BASKETBALL (4), TRACK (3), JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE (3), SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE (4) ‘‘To have friends, one must he one.” This is the secret of Margaret’s popularity. “Peg” is very much interested in basketball and everyone will remember her for her clever playing in the West Warwick game. “Peg” can always lx depended upon for the very latest news. She is also a good musician. She possesses all the characteristics of a good friend, and wherever she goes the best wishes of her classmates will attend her.

STATE HONORS IN “RELATION OF GOOD ROADS TO HOME LIFE.” SECOND PRIZE IN “CAPITAL PUNISHMENT” Who is the tall girl hurrying down the corridor with a pile of books on her arm? She is the one who makes tin famous speeches in the public speaking class and who writes prize essays for a pastime. It is our Marguerite, who is greatly liked by all her classmates. After leaving high school, she intends to enter the ranks of the learned and become a school teacher. We send our best wishes with her to Rhode Island College of Education.

Lester has taken part in so many school activities that it is hard to begin to enumerate them. In spite of his various duties he has acquired an enviable reputation as a scholar, and is distinguished by the fact that he is the only male student in P. H. S. taking Latin IV. “Les” is extremely popular with the student body—especially with one certain blond miss— and with the faculty as well. He expects to attend Brown University and then Harvard Medical School. Best wishes, “Les!”

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.

The simple reason is that she has one natural talent and that is singing. What could make her happier than singing periods? Besides. Ruth is quite a poet. The Gleaner has not discovered this because she is very modest. Nevertheless, Ruth has good intentions. She has resolved to get up early in the morning to study a little harder, and to go to bed early. From this, we learn that her heart is in the right place. Her favorite studies are typewriting and shorthand. Tis well, for Ruth intends to go out in the business world. We wish her heaps of good luck. MAE ESTELLE GILPATRICK (“Masie”) Motto: “Smiles make one happy” Here’s one of our girls who’s always good natured and jolly. You may see her any time in Room 23 surrounded by her friends, joking and laughing. Haven't you seen that smile of hers? You don’t know what you’ve missed. iMae is rather a quiet little girl except when surrounded by her friends and then you wouldn't know her. She has been taking a normal course and expects to brighten R. I. C. E. next year with her ever smiling countenance. Our l est wishes for success are with her. HOPE HAZEL GOFFE (“Hopie”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” GLEE CLUB (3) Hope must be an exception to the rule for. no matter what happens, she always appears with her usual sunny disposition. She appears quiet and demure sometimes, but do not think she is always that way. for when she is among her intimate friends she is quite the opposite. Hope’s hobby is dancing and she certainly can dance. She has done exceedingly well in her school work during her four years with us and intends to become a business woman later on. GLADYS EVELYN GORNALL (“Glad”) GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS PROPHET (4), PROPERTY MANAGER “SALLY AND CO.” (4), STAGE MANAGER “GREEN STOCKINGS” (4), CLEE CLUB (4), PROPERTY MANAGER OF OPERETTA (4), HONOR SOCIETY. SPEAKERS BUREAU (4) Motto: “Today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision oj hope” Bright eyes? Well, rather! Just look at the picture. Gladys is one of our shining lights at P. H. S. She gets her 5’s as easy as most of us get our 3’s. But don’t get the idea that all she does is her studying. She manages to give her support to our various teams, and say, doesn’t she dance! She’s right there with her school spirit. Next year Gladys intends to enter R. I. C. E. and make as fine a reputation for herself there as she has done here.
