All hail to thee, dear P. H. S. Again we sing, “All hail” In this last hour of sad farewell We look back o’er the trail Of four glad years within thy halls, Striving for the best, That we may prove to all the world We’re worthy of life’s test. Chorus: Dear P. H. S., We say good-bye to thee. We’ll keep with us forevermore Thy sweetest memory. II. We're leaving thee, dear P. H. S., This Class of Twenty-Five, But in our hearts we’ll here remain And in our thoughts we’ll strive To keep the ideals thou hast taught. To hold thy standards true, To work and play, to love and live And ever honor you. Chorus: Dear P. H. S., We say good-bye to thee, We’ll keep with us forevermore Thy sweetest memory. III. We’ll come again, dear P. H. S., For the sake of Auld Lang Syne, Our classmates and our friends so dear Again we’ll all be thine. We’ll bring to thee our treasures rich. Honor, glory, fame. We’ll lay these at thy feet And dedicate them in thy name. Chorus: Dear P. H. S., Vi e say good-bye to thee. We’ll keep with us forevermore Thy sweetest memory. —Anna C. Lomas and Doris G. Ludgate. 1925 Pawtucket High School 7 ALMA DODGE ABBOTT (“Al”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” Who doesn't know “Al,” the official blues” chaser in the the school? Alma came to us four years ago and has proved herself one of the most loval and dearest friends one could possibly ever have. Here again that old saving, “Looks are deceiving,” may be applied, for Al is certainly the picture of a quiet and demure little miss, hut just let someone mention movies or tell a good joke and then see what happens. She declares that Stenography and Typewriting are her favorite studies, although she likes all her other subjects. “Al” has decided to enter the business world, and the class of 1925 wish her the greatest of all possible success. EDITH MARY ALEXANDER ( Ede,” Edie”) Motto: “Why hurry? Life’s short enough.” HONOR SOCIETY Ede” is that vivacious little bobbed-haired miss of Room 24. She certainly applies that very excellent motto, for one seldom sees her wearing a frown. In fact we can’t imagine P. H. S. without her bright, cheerful smile. Ede” stars in English, which she says is her favorite subject, but since the Honor Society List contains her name we may infer that other studies have not been neglected. Ede” is a great little dancer and is always in great demand at all of the functions of P. H. S. Next year Ede” will enter the business world, and the best wishes of the class of ’25 go with her. FRANK CUTHBERT ALLEN (“Lanky”) Motto: “Be prepared.” Cl.EE CLUB (4) Whenever you see anybody coming along the hall with a long stride and a pleasant smile you know it’s Frank. Everybody thinks he is rather quiet and bashful, but we know different. He’s really a perfect sport and always ready for a good time. Frank has a Ford sedan, and you usuallv see him at all our games. He is crazy about camping and Zane Grav's novels, and is one of those “back to nature” people. Some day wre’ll hear of him being a cowboy out West. Frank has made a good scholastic record at P. H. S.. and we are sure that whatever he does in the future will be done with the same perseverance and cheerfulness as has been characteristic of him while in high school. 8 inisiiiinuiiuiiinuiiiiniHiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiuiitiiiiiiuitiiniiitiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiHiiiitiiiiMiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiniiiaiiimiiiniiiiaiiiiHiiiniiiBiiiifiiiiNiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiniiiiNiiiMiiiiMiiiii Pawtucket High School 1925 m RUTH ELIZABETH ALLEN (“Ruthie”) Motto: “Every day in every way. I'm getting thinner and thinner” In Ruth we find at once a vamper of teachers and a devotee of Terpsichore. Her motto is very deceiving. Don’t think that she is an oversized girl. She's just pretty, plump and peachy, according to ---------------------, and he ought to know. Her favorite study is Applied Design, and it is here that she shines. Ruth expects to further her education at a preparatory school next year. Preparatory to what? To the cottage by the sea. of course. Bonne chance, “Ruthie!” RUSSELL WILLIAM BARLOW (“Russ”) Motto: “Do it well; it is worth it” DEBATING (4), GLEE CLUB (4), GLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4), HONOR SOCIETY “Russ is one of our quiet and brilliant members. He started his freshman year with 5's and has had no difficulty in keeping up to this early-established standard. “Russ” is that member of the Debating Society who usually succeeds in convincing his opponents that they are all wrong. His arguments are often compared by his classmates to those of the great Greek orators. “Russ” doesn't study all the time, however, for he told us quite confidentially that his favorite pastime was hiking in the woods. Next year “Russ” intends to go to a commercial school or into office work. Besides this he intends to study to be an organist. The Class of 1925 wishes him the best of luck. FRANCES JOSEPHINE BARRY (“Frankie,” “Fran”) Motto: Be good and you'll be happy. but. oh. the fun you'll miss!” CLASS BASKET BALL TEAM (4), GLEE CLUB (4), TRACK TEAM (4), JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE (3) One at a time—Kindly refrain from pushing. Wouldn’t you just know that this was “Frankie” surrounded by her many admirers? “Fran has found it necessary to use the double index system to keep her dates and dances straight, and it proved a great success. She is always ready and on hand to do positively anything with fun, excitement or pep in it. Just mention the word dance and “Frankie” is off whirling down the hall with some good-looking young man, while a score of others are trying in vain to “cut in.” “Tell me. little gypsy, what the future holds for me?” is “Frankies” query, but until the little gypsy finds time to answer definitely she has said “Pembroke.” FRED WAYLANI) BINFORD (“Pee-Wee”) Motto: “Nothing ventured, nothing won” Behold our radio fan. By glancing through Binford’s radio log book one would judge that here is the chap who will, at almost any time, be receiving a message from Mars. He tells us his favorite pastime is reading. but we think that if one dropped in. unannounced, almost any time between dark and dawn, one would find him with the earphones on and a rapt expression on his face, listening to music from some very distant station that the rest of mortality cannot succeed in reaching. As for reading, when he does read, his taste runs to Zane Grey. Another favorite occupation is drawing. “Pee-Wee” tells us his next year’s plans are indefinite, but we would not be surprised if the radio world ensnared him in its net. 1925 Pawtucket High School 9 llimilUlltlllllMmillllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIIHIIItllHHIIIHIIIIIIimilMIfllimHIIIIIIIIMIHIIIIIIIIIIIUHIIIIIIUUIIMIIIllllinilllMIIIIIIIIIIWIIIUlim JOHN THOMAS BOREK (“Bo”) “Motto: “Never say die.” ASSISTANT STACE MANAGER “HONOR BRICHT” (3) DRAMATICS (4), CLEE CLUB (4) “Bo” is quite an athlete. The football team lost a good player when, at the beginning of the season, Bo” was forced to remain out of the games on account of breaking his collar bone in practice. John lives up to his motto and fights to the bitter end, whether he be playing baseball, hockey, band-ball or basket-ball. Although “Bo” is a big boy he is light on his feet and is seen gliding around the ballroom floor in ihe gym at ail the dances. He is planning to further his education at St. Mary’s College. ERNESTINE CATHERINE BOWLEY ( Tine”) “This above all: to thine own self be true. And it must follow as the night the day, Thou cansI not then be false to any man.” So here’s line”! You want to know something about her? Well, it would take a whole book to expound Ernestine’s virtues, but here goes. She is the best of good sports, jolly, gay, optimistic, and practical, too. She is a faithful, true and thoughtful friend, who can always be depended upon to brighten a dull day. In addition to all this, Ernestine rates high in her studies. “Tine” has chosen commerical teaching as her career, and she certainly will be a great success. The best of luck. “Tine”! LORETTA BERNADETTE BOYD ( Etta”) Motto: “Always as much virtue as there is so much appears.” Loretta, better known to her friends as “Etta,” is that quiet little girl who sits in room twenty-seven. She has a very sweet disposition and is well-liked by all who know her. Ever cheery and smiling, she is one of the school’s most loyal supporters. Her favorite pastime is reading, and we can't blame her for that. Loretta is very studious and declares she likes all her subjects, although shorthand is her favorite. Next year she intends to go to a business school, and if present indications are correct she will certainly he a most efficient stenographer. We all wish her the best of luck! JACOB BRILL (“Yoc,” “Jake”) Motto: “Don’t put off for tomorrow what can be done the day ajler tomorrow.” BASKETBALL (2) (31 (4) Here we have that pocket edition of Valentino—our romantic looking mathematics shark—-Brill. This boy holds the record for walking in at 8:31, and is the despair of his teachers. Yet when it comes to shooting baskets and representing the home team on the basketball court “Yoc ’ is there with the goods. “Jake” believes that “Haste makes waste, and his recitations are a matter of hours, yet he manages to hold his own with our quicker “studes.” Bryant and Stratton will probably claim “Yoc” next year, but we feel sure that some day he'll appear in the umvies as Rudolph’s rival as a sheik. 10 Pawtucket Hich School 1925 iininuiimiiiiHiMiniimiimiMniitHiiniiwiiiMiiinumiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiimimiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiniiiiii iatiiimuuiiiiMiiitiiimtt:i):iimiittiiiMiiiiiiiiiiii iiiitiiiiiiiiiiiii iniHiii HELEN ELIZABETH BROWNING (“Greenie,” “Speed ) Motto: “Be a live wire and you won’t get stepped on.” “Speed” might be thought to he rather quiet and studious by those who don’t know her, but her intimate friends object strongly to such a description. Helen certainly lives up to both her motto and her nickname in being a real live wire. “Speed” says that her favorite pastime is dancing, and we learn that she'd rather do that than anything else. Her scholastic standing does not suffer, however, as a result of all her pleasures. She has shown her skill and talent in drawing, winning several poster prizes. Next year “Speed” expects to go to North Adams where she will prepare to be a teacher. We know that her personality will win many new friends for her, and the best wishes of the class of ’25 go with her. PHYLLIS ADELAIDE BRYCE (“Pldip,” “Phil”) Motto: “Tonight we launch. Where shall we anchor?” BASKETBALL (4 I, SECRETARY GLEE CLUB (4), CLEANER (3) (4), PROPERTY COMMITTEE “SEVEN CHANCES” (4), CONOR SOCIETY, RECORDANDA (4) “Hence, Loathed Melancholy!” That’s just what you say to yourself when you see “Phlip” (by request) coming. Strangely enough, she never quite gets to where you are, for a swarm of the most popular P. H. S. folks cluster about her to drink the heavenly nectar of being able to call themselves her friends. “Phlip” is never seen alone, for even when she shakes her heels of friends (engeneral) some particular swain or other trots up. We yield “Phlip” to the College of Practical Arts and Letters at Boston University only w ith a realization that such is unavoidable. You’ll always have friends in the class of ’25, “Phlip!” MURIEL BUCKLEY (“Mu,” “Muriel”) Motto: “Keep your face turned toward the sunshine, and the shadows will fall behind.” CLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4), HONOR SOCIETY Muriel is another one of the demure, brown-eyed members of our class. She doesn’t say very much, but if one could see her report card it would show a row of “5’s.” “Mu” has furnished us with Gleanings this year, and as an English student is excellent indeed. English is her favorite study, but we notice that history seems to stand next in favor. Next year Muriel will probably become “somebody’s stenog,” and we w ish her all good wishes for success in the future. MARGARET GERALDINE CARNEY (“Marg.” “Peg”) Motto: “When pleasure and duly clash—let duty go to smash.” “I want that talking over in the corner stopped. Miss Carney! This sweet refrain rings distinctly in poor “Peg’s” ears nearly every morning. Nevertheless she carries on a steady stream of conversation with Helen, who sits beside her, thinking that she can’t be seen way over there in the corner. “Mary,” after receiving her diploma from Rhode Island College of Education, where she intends to further her knowledge during the next few years, may herself be telling the same thing to some of her pupils. But never mind, “Peg,” we all wish you the best of luck in your future years at college, and know that you won’t be lonesome, as many of your classmates at P. H. S. are going to Rhode Island College of Education. 1925 Pawtucket High School 11 WILLIAM ARTHUR CARNEY Motto: “Don’t ploy with fire .” TRACK (2) (3) (4), CAPTAIN TRACK (4), FOOT HALL (4), TENNIS (3) “Who’s that flying through the air?” That’s “Bill.” He’s either running, jumping or playing tennis most of the time. You’ve seen people photographed with all their cups and medals, haven’t you? “Bill” might well lye one of those people. We won’t even attempt to mention the number of medals that “Bill has won by his track work. It’s no extraordinary thing for him to capture a bushel or so each vear. More than once he has “saved the day” for P. H. S. and 1925. When “Bill” isn't winning track medals he’s playing tennis, so you can see he keeps pretty busy. As for studying. Rill certainly can speak French with a glib tongue. With all these honors to his credit. Rill intends to enter Brown next fall, and you may be sure the class of ’25 wishes him the best of luck. EMMA CATHERINE CARR (“Em”) Motto: “Keep smiling.” DRAMATICS (3), HONOR SOCIETY PROPERTY COMMITTEE “SEVEN CHANCES,” (4) Here’s “Em,” the cute looking girl from room twenty-seven. What? No. She’s no relation to Laura, as far as we know. Her favorite pastime is dancing, and although she steps around quite a bit she must study too. ’cause she’s a member of the Rhode Island Honor Society. Emma goes out for dramatics. She was in one of the plays last year and is property manager of “Her” senior play. Her favorite study is Public Speaking, and we’ll say she’s pretty good in it. Next year “Em’s” going to Bryant and Stratton’s. In a few years she ll probably be a “successful business woman,” and we’ll proudly say, “Oh. yes, she used to go to school with me.” Such is fame! ANDREW JOSEPH CASEY (“Andy”) Motto: “Variety is the spice of life ” FOOTBALL (4), HOCKEY (3) (4), CAPTAIN HOCKEY t4). SWIMMING (4), TRACK (3) 4), DRAMATICS (It, GLEE CLUB (4), GLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4) “Andy” is a fellow who is always “there” when there is anything going on. His wit. good humor and attractive personality make him a welcome companion in any good time. He is prominent in school activities as well as in outside affairs. His interest varies from the exciting field of some sport to the equally hard, although, perhaps, not as exciting, field of scholastic effort. Truly his likes are many and varied! Next year “Andy” intends to enter the commercial world. We know that his entrance will be favorable and his future prosperous. CHESTER DELMAR CAULFIELD (“Chet,” “Chetty,” “Rags”) Motto: “Better late than never, but better never late.” SECRETARY A. A. (4), FOOTBALL (3) (4), SWIMMING (1) (2) (3) (4), CAPTAIN SWIMMING (3) ( 4 I. TENNIS (3) (4), HOCKEY (4), BASEBALL (4), GLEE CLUB (4), REVISORY COMMITTEE OF A. A. (4) “Chet’’ is one of our most popular fellows. He always has a friendly word for everyone when he meets them in the halls or on the street. In the contest which was held here at high school he was voted the best boy mixer, and we all know that he justly deserves that name. But by the way what is the attraction in the lower hall, “Chet”? Blond or brunette? As an athlete “Chetty” ranks among the best of the school. Swimming is his favorite pastime, and his love for this sport is shown in his great work on the team. Next year Brown is going to receive one of our best-known fellows. We wish you the best of luck, “Chet.” miiiniimiiii minniiraiiMiiiHiiiinuiniiiiiiiiiniiiifliiiimiMniii 1925 12 Pawtucket High School JEAN NESTOR CHAMPOUX (“Champ”) Motto: “Love thy neighbor as thyself, but leave his wife alone. DRAMATICS (4), GLEE CLUB (4) Here he is again! The inevitable, fun-loving, mirth-provoking Jean! Jean is the charter member of the “Never Mind” Club, and when he bursts into the “gang” he proves to be a good Glee Club man by dispelling all traces of gloom and sorrow. His dramatic abilities were well displayed when he played as end man in the Round Up. He is an addict to chemistry, and can even make poor Mr. W’s head ache with his reaching questions. Jean is a “fast stepper” when it comes to dancing and in contrast is a disciple of Stevenson. He is medically inclined, and unless some disastrous result comes from his pratical jokes he will be counted among the “frosh” at Tufts Medical School next fall. If you are as successful there as you were here, Jean, you won’t need the good luck that we wish you. DELIA ANNA CIMINI (“Del”) Motto: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Delia is one of our very quiet classmates. She is very shy, but notwithstanding she has made a great many friends. She does not care particularly for athletics but is a regular attendant at P. H. S’s plays and minstrel shows. She says that history is her favorite subject, though most of us consider it very dry. What she enjoys most is to get one of Zane Grey’s thrilling western stories and settle down to read in some nice quiet spot. However, it must not be inferred from this that she always likes to be alone, for she may be seen almost every day strolling down our corridors in company with her close friend Olive. “Del” intends to go to Normal School next year, and the class of ’25 wishes her the best of luck. ETHEL TERESA CLEAR (“Et,” “Patsy”) Motto: “Be good and you'll be happy, but you'll miss a lot of fun. CLASS BASKETBAJ.L (4), GLEE CLUB (4), GLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4), CLASS HISTORIAN, SUPPER COMMITTEE (4), HONOR SOCIETY Well. well, here’s out “Et,” or “Patsy,” as she loves to be called! “Et” certainly has achieved a lot in four years, and has won the friendship of everyone in school. “Et” is quite a basketball player, and she is very much interested in all sports. You may see her at every game, cheering lustily for P. H. S. And at dances “Patsy” is always surrounded by a group of admirers, but. of course, she’s ever faithful to the “little boy who drives a Buick.” Besides l eing a leader in all good times and fun. Ethel is a “shark” when it comes to studies. One look at the Honor Roll or at her report card would verify the statement. Next year “Et enters Pembroke, and we know she'll be just as popular as ever in there. MARGARET MARY COLEMAN (“Peg”) Motto: “If you are not what you would be. act as you would act ij you were what you would be. Sweet, jolly, light-hearted, companionable—that partly describes “Peg.” But if you are acquainted with her you know plenty more nice things about her, for there is no lack of them. To general observers she is a model pupil who spends much time working and lots of time playing. As for the working part of it, “Peg” is studying commercial subjects, and she intends to attend Bryant and Stratton’s next year. She is going to make a success of her work, too! Margaret likes movies and dancing, but pleasure does not come before duty in her curriculum. Oh, no! She’s very conscientious. Here’s the best of luck, Margaret. niiiiiiiiiiiniiiii iiiit’iiiuiiiMMiiiiiiiiuiiit!iinuiiuiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiuiiiiiiii� iiiliiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiuiiiuiiiiiuiiiniiiuiiiiiiiiiiMiiiutiiiMiiiuiiiiNiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiMiMiiii iiiiuiiiiMiiiuiiiit:iiii:iiui:iiiiiiiii 1925 Pawtucket High School 13 iMraiimtiimiiiimmmiumiuiumiiuiiiNiiimuiHuiiMiiNiiiwuMiiiimiMiiiDiiimiiiiiiiiuiiiiMiiMMMiiMiiiiaiiiNiiiMM ESTHER CARTER COLLINS (“Et,” “Esse ’) Motto: “Never say 4yesnever say ‘no, say ‘maybe’ ” SWIMMING (4) “Et” always tries to live up to her motto and keep the fellows guessing. She is one of the quietest of the quiet girls in our class hut she is always having a good time and belongs with the “bunch” from Broadway School. She is never conspicuous by her absence at any of the school functions, and she is always one of the first on the floor when the orchestra strikes up. “Et” is quite an athlete and is a member of the basketball, swimming and track teams of the school. She says her favorite study is history but that subject alone is not the only one in which she excels. Esther is a member of the Glee Club and on more than one occasion she has been seen with the rest of the club entertaining at the Parent-Teacher meetings. “Et” is undecided about the future but it will be either Simmons or R. I. State. Regardless of which, we know she will he a sucess. BEATRICE RITA CONVEY (“Bca”) Motto: “A floppy disposition contributes more to success in a life career than any other single element.” Enter “Bea, with her lovely, fluffy golden hair. Many’s the time we have sat in class admiring that sunshiney boh! Four years ago “Bea” entered the commercial division of our class and since that time she has demonstrated her excellent work, especially in shorthand—and that is her favorite study, she says. But “Bea” doesn’t study all the time, and she always manages to go to every social gathering that comes along. Next year “Bea” is going out into the “wide, wide world” and we know that before very long she will be a stenographer to some prominent man. You may he sure that the class of 25 wishes you the greatest success, ELENA AGNES CONWAY (“El”) Motto: “Eile mil IVeile.” Who’s that petite dark-haired girl who is always so quiet? Why, that’s “EE Conway, of course. The only time when Elena isn't quiet is when she's dancing to the music of the school orchestra. “El” confesses that history is her favorite study, and judging from her marks in that subject. we think she’s right. We don’t know what Elena’s motto means, but we know it's something good if “El” chooses it. When Elena says that she likes dancing, we agree with her, but what we want to know is, “Who does she like to dance with?” We notice a certain Senior from 27 who seems quite attentive to her at the school socials, but he has plenty of competition. Next year Elena plans to enter Rhode Island School of Design, and afterwards to go out into the business world. RICHARD LEETE COTTON (“Dick,” “Speed”! Motto: “Why worry? PROPERTY MANAGER “BELIEVE ME XANTIPPE” (3), DRAMATICS (3) (4) “Speed” is a typical live-wire—a chap who is always on the go. There are few members of the senior class, or of the other classes, who do not know him, if not as “Speed ’ Cotton at least as Jimmie Pendleton. Mr. Garrison or some one of the numerous characters that he has played so well in Dramatic Society plays. “Dick” is an especially fine actor indeed. He fairly lives the role he is portraying. Next year we hope that he will have a chance to show his talents at Rhode Island State College, where he intends to continue his studies. imtinmwi—nwMwmiTiiMmnuiininimiiiiBiiimunnMnii ;B� i� ii� iiiwiwMiwaMWMiHmiiiuiiiiwi� witiMiiiHMUiHiiaiiimiHi� iiii� «� iPiiiuui� riitriiiiiwiiiitiiiMiiii� iwiwHiHiuniiiii� imiuiiimini«iniwri� tiiBinimmpiiniHiiiuMiinniiwininiiii 14 Pawtucket High School nMiinuiiimHMiliiHHuiiiaiiiMiiiiiHiuiiimiiiMHiBiimHiiaiiiHnimiamniiiwiiwiiiniuiiimniHmiwimiMWiWNtimiimiiiMiHifliimniniiiiniiiiiiiiMiiwiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiimiiimiiMiiiwiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiniNiuiiimiiiiHiiuiiHiiiiiiiuiii 1925 MURIEL LOUISE COTTRELL (“Kid,” “Mimi”) Motto: “If you are acquainted with happiness introduce him to your neighbor.” GLEE CLUB (4) Muriel is one of the dearest and sweetest girls in Pawtucket High School. Although she looks too demure and shy for words just mention dancing or movies and see what happens! We even hear that her dancing fame has extended to Central Falls, and so not an affair goes by in either city that Muriel isn't there—much in demand. She never misses a good time of any sort, yet by some method, some way or other, the good marks come in as fast as one could wish. A glance at her posters or paintings would assuredly affirm the most doubtful that “Mimi” is one of the clever artists in the school. Muriel intends to enter the School of Design next year, and every good wish of the class goes with her. NORBERT JOSEPH CROTHERS (“Norbie,” “Itchy”) Motto: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” CLASS PRESIDENT (3). TRACK (2 I (3) (41. HOCKEY (41, BASEBALL (2 I (3) (4), DRAMATICS (4), GLEE CLUB (4), GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS PROPHET, RECORDANDA (4), DANCE ORCHESTRA (4) Occasionally a fellow comes along whom just ordinary language can't describe. For four years “Norb” has been one of the most popular boys in P. H. S., always in the full swing of school activities. He is an all-round athlete, playing a fine game of hockey for us in the winter and right there in baseball in the spring. “Norb” is also one of our speediest runners and helped us win the Rhode Island Interscholastic Track Championship. “Norbie” is the one who puts the jazz into our jazz orchestra, and when his cornet begins to moan you just can't help dancing. He himself is no mean dancer, and is fond of tripping the light fantastic with -------well, we won't say! Also, he has taken an active part in dramatics. “Norb” seldom studies—he’s too busy—but just the same has made a fine scholastic record during his four years at P. H. S. Next year will find him working just as hard for Brunonia. Think of us once in a while, “Norb!” STEWART LITTLE CUSHMAN (“Stuke,” “Cushie”) Motto: “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of snappiness” CLASS PRESIDENT (4), LEAGUE DELEGATE (4), TRACK (2) (3) (4), DEBATING (2 I (4). DRAMATICS (4), GLEANER (2l (4l. RECORDANDA (4), JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE (3), PRESIDENT SCIENCE CLUB (4), VICE-PRESIDENT RADIO CLUB (3), TREASURER RADIO CLUB (4), SECRETARY LYCEUM (4 I, CHEMISTRY TEAM (4). ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER “SEVEN CHANCES” (4 I, Stewart Cushman is one of our most popular fellows. His popularity is shown in the fact that in the contest held in school he was voted the most popular senior boy. As well as distinguishing himself in debating and by his scholastic ability, “Stuke” has also made a name for himself as a track athlete. Any one who saw “The Champion” cannot forget the villain—a part so well portrayed by Stewart. And who is that tall, light-haired young lady. “Stuke,” that might be seen around room 23? Rather attractive, don’t you think. “Cushie”? Next year “Stukie” intends to enter Cornell University where, judging from the record which he has established at P. H. S.. we have no doubt that he will succeed. The best of luck. “Stukie.” 1925 Pawtucket High School 15 LOIS ESTELLE DAILEY (“Sweetie”) Motto: “Love conquers all things.” CI.EE CLUB (4) Allow us to present “Sweetie.” Perhaps her nickname came from her sweet expression, or disposition, or both. We wonder! Lois is taking a practical arts course which seems practical—please excuse— and her favorite study is Home Management. Maybe that’s why she's going to stay home for a year, to try the practical side of the course. After that she may go to Boston to a physical culture school, but she hasn’t decided yet. By the way, perhaps that nickname refers to her voice, for “Sweetie” is a member of the Glee Club. She “loves” to swim and dance, which we think shows very good judgement. When we heard her motto we wondered if it could be applied to exams, if you manage to love them. We hope it’ll conquer her difficulties, and we know she’ll lie liked wherever she goes. JOHN KENYON DAVIS (“Jack ) Motto: “Silence brings consent.” HOCKEY I 2 I 3) (4), MANAGER BASKETBALL (4 I “Johnny’s” motto is typical of himself. He’s a quiet boy hut “still water runs deep.” He's always at home on a pair of skates, and has been the backbone of the hockey team for the last three years. John is also a tennis player of note, representing Pawtucket at several meets. For the last vear “Johnny” was the illustrious manager of the basketball team, and everyone can testify that he was a very efficient one. John confesses that chemistry is his favorite study, and if marks mean anything we agree with him. His favorite recreation is dancing and he and his friend Gene are often seen escorting certain young ladies to the school dances. John enters Brown next fall and we all wish him success. JOHN EDWARD De COLRCF.Y C1.EE CLUB (4) Motto: “Live anti learn.” John came to us from Samuel Slater School and he has been one of the mainstays of our class ever since. One of the few women-haters of our class. John spends most of his time studying, hence the Honor Roll. Whenever he isn't studying. John is at the U. S. Finishing Field playing ball with the school team. John lives up to his motto in every sense of the word, and is the delight of his teachers, especially in history. His rich tenor voice is without a peer in the Glee Club, and he has been one of Mr. Ladd’s loyal supporters all year. Next year, John enters the business world, and we all wish him the best of luck. NORBERT J. von DEMBOWSKI (“Norb”l Motto: “As you make your bed. so must you lie.” HOCKEY (41 “Norb” is one of the most studious young men in our class. He goes about his work without bothering anyone, unless it be to ask about an assignment or if he gets “stuck. He seems to be naturally inclined towards engineering. His favorite subject is geometry, so he says. “Norb” is quite a hockey player, as he has demonstrated during this year. We hope that he may obtain further honors in that line. Reading is evidently his favorite pastime, for Joseph Conrad, he tells us, is his ideal of an author. “Norb” plans to go to Rhode Island State College next year to study engineering. We wish you success! niiiiiiniiMiiiMiiiinitiiuiaiiiiiiiiiHiimiiiMiiiiRiMiiiiiMiiiii iiMi:TiiMiinmiiiMiiiiiiiirniiinitinniiiiiiitiiiniuMiiiiiniiiiiiiii(HMiimmiiiiitiiiitnitfRiittmiiiMiirHiiiiMiiiHiiluiniuitii:iiM]HiiwiiiiiiiiiniMi iiiiriiiiiiitniiiiiriuniiiiiiiniui!iiiiiiiuiLii mrimi tmiiminiHiiiiiiuiiiniiiintiiit 16 Pawtucket Hich School 1925 niMiiiiiiuMiiiiiMHNiiiMiiiiuiiiaiiitiitiuiiuiiiiminiiiiiiMiniimiimiimiiiMiiiirainnifiinitiiiMiHiiimmanimHiaiiitMiiiminiiiiHiiiR STEPHEN NIGHTINGALE DILWORTH (“Steve”) Motto: “Better late than never. “Come and trip it as you go,” certainly applies to “Steve,” for he is one of those persons to whom it seems as easy to dance as to walk. his is not the only thing in which he stars for we have all noted his brilliance in math and chemistry. “Steve's” hearty “Ha. Ha!” proves a welcome diversion in the math class. We mean the only welcome diversion to the pupils. The teacher has his own opinion. “Steve” wonders why they don't ask what your most hated subject is. We don’t have to ask, for we all know what it is, and sympathize with him. Next year “Steve” expects to go to M. I. T., where his brilliance in math will be sure to make him a success. MARION GRETCHEN DODGE (“Skip,” “Skipper”) Motto: “There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip. CHEER LEADER (2l (3), MANAGER OF GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM (4) Hah! Hah! Hah! Whose laugh could that he but our own “Skipper’s”? “Skip is that cheerful and entertaining miss who is always surrounded by a group of admiring friends. No one can dispute the fact that she holds the record for attendance at all the games, be they football, basketball or baseball. “Skip proved a very energetic cheer leader, as well as a capable manager of our girls' basketball team. “Skip” was voted the best girl “mixer” in school, and it is not surprising, for she has that rare gift of making friends everywhere. Next year “Skipper” is to begin training at the Rhode Island Hospital, and we feel sure that her sunny disposition and efficient manner will do much toward making her a capable nurse. THEODORE G. DOMINA (“Teddy,” “Ted”) Motto: “Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today. DRAMATICS (4), STACE COMMITTEE “SEVEN CHANCES” (4) Here he is, the champion dancer of the Class of ’25. “Teddy’s” one and only love is dancing. When he’s not tripping the light fantastic at the “Arc,” he is enjoying himself at the school socials. “Ted” also is quite an actor, taking part in the cast of “The Champion.” “Teddy” always endeavors to live up to his motto, and a harder working fellow cannot be found in the school. He is a baseball player of no mean ability but, owing to work, he was not able to go out for the team. ‘Ted’s” favorite study is chemistry, and he is one of Mr. Wolfe’s prize pupils. His favorite author is Oppenheim. and he spends much of his time reading his works. “Ted” is undecided what he will do in the future, but next year. P. H. S. will find him back taking a post graduate course. MARGARET COURTNEY DOTT (“Peggy”) Motto: Real life is love, laughter and work. Room 27 got the surprise of its life last March when “Peggy” tripped in with her tresses bobbed. “Peggy” comes to us from Potter School and. although quiet, she always has her share of the good times with her friend Evelyn. “Peggy” confesses that she loves dancing, and we quite agree with her. Every Friday evening she can be found tripping the light fantastic with some of her admirers at the school. “Peggv” is one of our commercial girls and she says that stenography is her favorite study. “Peggy” plans to finish her commercial course at Bryant Stratton next year and thence go out into the business world. 1925 Pawtucket High School 17 JAMES BUCHANAN DOW (“Jimmy” “Scotty,” “Buck”) Motto: “If you cant win. make the fellow ahead break the record.” GLEE CLUB (4), DRAMATICS (3) (4), ORCHESTRA (3) (4) “Roamin’ in the Gloamin’ with a lassie by nia side.” Who’s that, Harry Lauder? No! That’s “Scotty” Dow! and isn’t he right there when it comes to mimicking Sir Harry himself? “Jimmy” has taken parts in many plays and proved himself quite an actor. No douht when you have seen him he has been causing someone to laugh with a witty expression or a joke. He is also a member of our celebrated orchestra, and can certainly play a fiddle. He is undecided as to his future plans, but wants to go either to some technical school or Rhode Island School of Design. The wishes of all your classmates go with you, “Jim,” for success in the future. LILLIAN MARGARET DOW Motto: “What's the use of worrying?” CLEE CLUB (4), HONOR SOCIETY Behold our Lillian with her hair bobbed again! While we liked it before we’ll have to admit we like it better bobbed. Lillian seems quiet to those who do not know her, but her intimate friends say that she is most assuredly not. Lillian started her freshman year with a brilliant record and has kept it throughout her high school career. As a result, she is a member of the Rhode Island Honor Society. Lillian declares that her favorite study is French, and we don’t wonder when we see her marks. Next year she intends to go to some prep school, probably Dean, before entering college. Wherever she goes the best w ishes of the class of ’25 go with her. DOROTHY KOERNER DRAPER (“Dot”) Motto: “So big.” DRAMATICS (4) A petite figure with golden curls and the gayest of grey-blue eyes, surrounded by a host of admires of the other sex—who is it? Who could it be but “Dot”? “Dot” is one of the most popular girls in the class of ’25. She enjoys herself thoroughly in all of her classes, although we have found out that she enjoys herself most in French, nest ce pas. Dot?” She doesn't stop at enjoying herself, though. All of those who sawr Daddy-Long-Legs know that “Dot” can surely give others a good time by her acting in Dramatic Society productions. Next year she expects to attend Lasell Academy, and later to continue her studies at Johns Hopkins. DELPHIS JOSEPH DUPUIS (“Duke,” Del”) Motto: “Think for yourself—it won’t hurt.” “Duke” is another one of our practical students. No frivolities during w'orking hours for him. If “Del” is working on an architectural drawing or a trig problem he wants to work and not be distracted. But then there is the other side. If “Del” is playing, he plays hard and puts his whole heart into whatever he’s doing. “Del is one to follow a motto like the one he has chosen. He is one of the foremost architectural drawing pupils, and will eventually take up this line of work. He is planning to enter the University of Pennsylvania in the fall.

Yes. of course you know it but we have to start some how! “Vic’s” taking a general course and her favorite study is Applied Design. You see, she leans toward art. I don’t mean she doesn't stand up straight, hut she has artistic abilities. That’s why she’s going to the Rhode Island School of Design next year. Although she’s a loyal member of the Athletic Association she misses some of the games because she is a movie fan. Startling, if true, and she says it’s true! and who can blame her? Of course it’s interesting to see Rudolph Valentino in a bull fight and Harold Gildae in a basketball game, but they’re different types, rather. “Vic” has lived up to her motto so well that when she leaves P. H. S. she’ll have a regular cheering section to wish her success and happiness. And we'll be in it, too! CLIFFORD EDWARDS (“Cliff ) Motto: “ you re feeling kinda blue, just whistle.” hockey (1) Voila! the one and only golfer of the Class of 25. When “Cliff ’ says his favorite sport is golf, he says beaucoup. As soon as the 3:05 bell rings, “Cliff is seen dashing through the door on his way to the links. He also confesses that he likes hunting and fishing, but due to his mania for golf, he has only a passing acquaintance with these other pastimes. On Sunday evenings “Cliff finds time to visit a certain Senior who lives near the school, and from all appearances it seems pretty serious. “Cliff’s” favorite study is English, and Miss Rowe will bear out the fact that he is a “shark in it. Oh! yes, “Cliff also likes dancing and he is always a familiar figure at the school socials. “Cliff's” future is in the golfing world, and in a few years we hope to see him one of the leading golfers of the country. FREEDA EISENBERC (“Farina,” “Fritzie”) Motto: “Let us. then. be up and doing” CLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4), HONOR SOCIETY Freeda is another one of our shining stars. It must not be inferred from this, however, that she is a so-called “grind.” She is a loyal supporter of all the school activities, and can always be seen at a football or basketball game making herself hoarse, shouting for her team. Freeda is also one of the hardest working members of our Gleaner Board, and has contributed greatly to that most popular and amusing department known as “The Locals.” Freeda and Evelyn are great friends and can almost always be seen together. Freeda is undecided as to her future plans, but there is no doubt in our minds but that she will come out on top in whatever she undertakes. MARGARET CATHERINE ERSKINE (“Peggy,” “Muzzie”) Motto: “Laugh if of}.” We don't have to wonder that “Peggy” is popular. Anyone with her sunny disposition is bound to be the center of attraction wherever she goes. We all love to be happy, and “Peg” surely does her best to make us so. That’s what makes her motto so appropriate. “Peggy” intends to enter Normal School next year, and in a few years we may see her trying to manage a group of unruly youngsters. We can just imagine the pupils bringing apples and flowers to her every morning. We’d better be careful or some of our present seniors may be trying to go through school again—the attraction certainly will be great enough! liiMitiniiiiNiti iiiniiiiiiMiiniiiimiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiimiiimimimiiiimiimiii iHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitniiiitiiiiiiuitiiiiiiinmmiiiitiiiiiiiiMiiiiniiiiiiliiuiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniuiiiiiiniiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiii 1925 tiiniiiniiiiiiimiiiiiinimuiiiuiiiiiiiiiiuiiuiiiiMiiiiniMMiiiiHllimiiliaiiiiiiiiiaiii Pawtucket High School 19 niiMiiiiHiimiiiiiiiiiaiiMiiiHiiiMiiiiiiiiMiiiHiiiiniiiiuNmiwiH«iwiiMiiiiiiiimiHwiiiimimiiHiiwiiiiimniiiiiiiiiiniiiirmiiimuiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiniinuiimtinuiiM SAMUEL FABRICANT (“Sam”) Motto: “Nul bien sans peine” GLEE CLUB (4) ‘‘Hail, the conquering hero conies!” The champion elastic shot up in the physics lecture room. Wouldn't that get your goat, though, being slapped in the face by an elastic coming from goodness knows where? But the culprit is discovered, and all take warning. Samuel is also a newspaper fiend. The last desk in 29 is always arrayed with the morning edition of the Providence Journal or some such paper, and undoubtedly the seeker will discover a hidden stack of newspapers within the desk. But Samuel doesn't spend all his time indoors, for his hobby is baseball. His favorite study is French—he says he means the language, but we shouldn't lie at all surprised if he really means the mademoiselles. “Appearances are deceiving,” and although “Sam” looks quiet—well, we are not prepared to say. Next year Samuel is going to Rhode Island State College, where he will have to do more reading out of text books and less out of newspapers. WILSON EVANS (“Parson,” “Bill”) Motto: “Better late than never” REVISORY COMMITTEE OF A. A. (4), BUSINESS MANAGER “BELIEVE ME XANTIPPE” (3), “THE CHAMPION” (4), ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER “mice and men” (3), “daddy long-legs” (4), “senen chances” (4), GLEE CLUB (4), ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER GLEANER (3), BUSINESS MANAGER CLEANER (4), BUSINESS MANAGER RECORD-ANDA (4), COLONIAL DAMES ESSAY PRIZE (4), CHEMISTRY TEAM (4), HONOR SOCIETY Don’t rush, folks—plenty of time! Step right this way and meet the “Parson,” the business brains of P. H. S. My, what burdens and responsibilities for such young shoulders! “Bill” certainly has worked his way through High. Socially he is as wide-awake as along business lines, and it takes very little time to discover that he is an all-around good sport. Wanted—a crossword expert to solve the perplexing puzzle: How is P. H. S. possibly going to get along without Evans? Brown, you don’t realize how fortunate you’re going to be next year. You’ll certainly appreciate our contribution. MILDRED EVELYN FAIRBANKS (“Millie”) Motto: “The only uay to have a friend is to be one” We call this a one hundred per cent, simon pure, A number one motto. A girl that starts out in life with that slogan, ought surely to reap a harvest of friends. Judging by the start “Millie” has already made, she will have many. Give “Millie” a book and a cozy nook, and she counts the world well lost. Her next year’s plans are indefinite, hut in whatever she undertakes, we hope she will be successful. tuamauiauiMiimiiiittimiiii 20 iiiniiiiniiPiiinuiiiiiiiiiiiiBiniiiiiiniiiinniiiiiiitiuitiiiittiuinlitimraniiraiiiiiiiiiniiinnniimiiiiiiiiBiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiimiuiMiiHimiuiiiuiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiimiirainraiiimi Pawtucket High School 1925 iiniiiwiiwiimuiiiiiiiiiiiimiiMiHiuiimiiiiiiiiiMmiiiuiiiniiittiiiMinraiiuiiiiiiiHiaiiunuMuiaiiiiiiiiiaiiiMiiiMiiiiuiiwiiiuiiimiiniiiiiiiiiwuuiiiiimiiimiimiumiimiumtt FRANCES EVELYN FEDER (“Frank,” “Ev”) Motto: “A new day is a new opportunity.” Frances has arrived on time to be in the picture, so here we have her, as calm and placid as ever. Have you ever seen her cross or worried? If she has any troubles she certainly doesn’t burden the next fellow with them. “Frank” looks shy, but she really isn’t. Meet her in a crowd and find out how jolly and amusing she can be. “Ev” has thoroughly enjoyed her school year, either arriving late, being excused, or not showing up at all. No wonder she has chosen for her motto: “A new day is a new opportunity.” Her favorite pastime is dancing, at which she is no mean stepper. American history pleases her a good deal, hut then who does not enjoy Miss Osborn’s interesting class? Frances positively loves Richard Harding Davis—as an author. Her plans for next year are not yet definite, but whatever she does we extend to her our best wishes for success. MAX FISHMAN (“Maxsy”) Motto: Do it now and be done with it.” “Maxsy” lives up to his motto. If he has some typewriting to do he just sits down and makes the keys talk. Talk about Paderewski making sweet music on a baby grand, just step into the typewriting class and listen to “Maxsy” and you’ll say he has “Pad” crying for help. “Max” is, without doubt, the champion excuse maker of P. H. S. His house burned down, or his dog was sick, or his car was derailed—always a good one and never the same one twice. “Maxsy” trips the light fantastic occasionally, and he sure can step. Although “Max” is not going to college next year we know that he will become a leader in the line of cleical work which is his favorite study. MARGARET ELIZABETH FITZPATRICK (“Peggy”) Motto: “A still tongue makes a wise head.” Who is that blonde who goes rushing through the halls on errands from the office? Why “Peggy” Fitzpatrick of course. Who else could it be? “Peggy” is one of those quiet persons who are seen most of the time and not heard. But you know what the old saying is: “Still water runs deep.” Her favorite pastime is dancing, and when not enjoying herself in this manner she can be found engrossed in a novel by Ethel M. Dell. Next year she is planning to enter her business career as a stenographer, probably to some important business man, and since shorthand was her pet study in High School we are quite certain she will succeed. We wish you the best of luck, “Peggy.” LOUIS DOUGLAS FLEMING (“Louie”) Motto: “Look before you leap.” A rather small, auburn-haired chap with light blue eyes and a smile that stretches from ear to ear, and there you have him! That’s Louis all right, but that isn’t all there is to him—not by a long shot. Louis is one of Mr. Nase’s right-hand men when it comes to putting across some gym work. Yes sir, something tells us he’s going to lie a second Doug Fairbanks when he finishes a few more fencing lessons. Louis spends a good deal of his spare time in sports of one kind or another, but he isn't too busy to read Zane Grey every now and then. Mathematics is his favorite subject, and he will return to P. H. S. next year where he will pursue it further. 1925 Pawtucket High School 21 itiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitii]intiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiuiiiiiiiimiiiniiiiuiiimiimtiiBiiiiniiiRiiiiuiiiKtitiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'.iiiiDiiiiBiimiiiimimiiimiiiumiHiiinmmiiiiiiimtiiiniMmiiiNiii CAROLYN ELIZABETH FLETCHER (“Al”) Motto: '‘Real life is love, laughter and work. Perhaps you've noticed the girl with the flaxen curls and that winning smile. Well, that’s our Carolyn. Her smile is simply irresistible and has broken many a heart, who knows? Carolyn came to us four years ago from Grove Street, and ever since has been boosting old P. H. S. She says her best-liked subject is shorthand, but we notice that her other studies are never neglected. Aside from this she’s brilliant in history, for any time Miss Osborn wants the “Presidents with dates” or the “Munroe Doctrine,” “Al” is right there with the answer. When she and her churn “Tillie” get together there’s some fun in store for all. Carolyn’s plans for next year are uncertain, but whatever she undertakes we know she'll be a great credit to the class of ’25. WILLIAM FRANCIS FOLEY (“Sammy,” “Firpo”) BUSINESS MANAGER “SEVEN CHANCES” (4), ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER “THE CHAMPION” (4), CHEMISTRY TEAM (4) “How about going to a dance tonight? Yes, it s “Sammy,” the jazz boy. You see that “Sammy” could live on dancing. Just feed him a snappy fox-trot and his appetite is appeased. Our “Willie ’ is also a chemist. That bov knows more chemistry than Webster knew words. No wonder we have good write-ups for our plays, “Firpo ’ represents the Times. Zane Grey is “Willie’s” favorite author. By the looks of things in room 17 it is evident that the boy burns the midnight oil reading wild-west stories, and next morning enacts the scenes with the aid of spit-balls. He is, without doubt, the champion of the elastic band. In the year to come we shall undoubtedly see W illie in some flourishing business. OLIVE ISABELLA EREDENBURGH (“Bones,” “Grizzly Bear”) Motto: Keep your face toward the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you.” Here is one who smiles through adversity. Give her a set of drawing tools and some paints and she will make her own sunshine. She tells us she is going to the Rhode Island College of Education next year. “Bones” informs us that history is her favorite study. We wonder whether the fact that historv is filled with heroes and romantic tales has any influence over her choice. W e wish you luck in your future life, Olive. ANNINA MARIE FROVA (“Van”) Motto: “Facta, non Verba.” VICE-PRESIDENT LYCEUM (4), DRAMATICS (4) Here’s “Van”—that charming little senorita of Room 29. She is an ardent supporter of everything pertaining to P. H. S., and can be seen at the games and track and swimming meets. Sire is right at home on the stage, and will not be forgotten soon because of her roles in “The Champion” and “Seven Chances.” She enjoys nothing so much as driving her own car and she makes a very capable “chauffeuress.” “Van” is very interested in art, at least, so We infer, for she buys posters by the dozen. But, then, there may be method in her madness— who knows? Next year, “Van” will enter Cedar Crest College, Pennsylvania. The best of luck, “Van! 22 Mitmiim iuiiMiiNiiinRiiiaiimiiiiiiiii(niiniinniiitiiiiitniiniiimiiiitiiiniiiMn«imimDinnHiHmiimiiimiiiHiiimiMiiintiiim!iimiiiniimininnnniiniimi!niiiiwi(mm Pawtucket Hich School iiiiMunuinmHMiiiMiwiiiaiitmiimiminiMnNinimiiHinNniiMHHniimiimfiiiuiiimiiiintimiiiniiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiMiiiMiiinHiniiiiniinim'wiimraMiiiiiiimii 1925 MARGARET ELEANOR GAUDET (“Ella”) Motto: “Keep smiling. DRAMATICS (4) “Ella” is the most talkative girl in our class. If everyone said as much as she in a day’s time, none would say anything. The age-old proverb savs, “Silence is golden.” Our own little “Ella” is virtuous, we believe. She remains true to her motto, for she always has a bright smile on her face which lights up the whole room. When she tells us that her ideal pastime is dancing we wonder if she is really shy at all. She may not be after school hours. “Ella’s” favorite subject is shorthand, and we understand that she is quite expert in that line. Her favorite author is Carolyn Wells, so she informs us. “Ella” plans to attend some business college next year. The class of ’25 wishes you success! CATHERINE ANJEANETTE VERONICA GAYNOR (“Kitty”) Motto: “Grin and bear it.” “Kitty” is that auburn-haired girl who sits in room 29. Perhaps most of us remember her by her exquisite show of millinery on our illustrious Freak Day. Since her arrival here, she has followed the commercial line of study, and we have heard that she quite excels in stenography, probably because of her liking for this subject. She spends lots of her time dancing, and this is, she claims, her favorite pastime. Next year we shall probably find her at Bryant and Stratton’s, if her plans turn out well. Good luck to you, “Kitty”! DOROTHY IRENE GEL I NAS (“Dot”) Motto: “Put auay a little ray of sunshine for a rainy day.” “Dot” has certainly lived up to her motto through her four years in high school. On any rainy day one may be sure to see her doing her share to distribute her “gold dust” and “liven things up a bit.” Next to doing this, “Dot” loves to read Zane Gray’s novels and to draw. We don’t know which she likes better, but each holds a strong fascination for her. “Dot” also excells in dancing, or, in fact, anything that spells fun. Next year, she intends to further her learning in the Rhode Island School of Design. Wherever you are or whatever you are doing, “Dot,” don’t forget good old P. H. S. and the class of ’25. LAURENCE EDWIN GE.MEINHARDT (“Larry,” “Bleton”) Motto: “On with the Ford!” ASSISTANT MANAGER BASEBALL (3), MANACER BASEBALL (4), MANACER SOCCER (4), GLEE CLUB (4), CLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4) Well! If it isn’t “Larry!” Who’d have thunk it? And without the “flivver,” too! He confided to us the other day that he wanted to have his picture taken with his old friend the Ford, but the Yandall Studio could not accommodate him. Too bad, “Larry.” We’ll admit you don t look natural without it. “Larry” boasts that a Ford has no limitations. We almost agree with you, “Larry”—how many did you take home the other day, eight, or was it ten? You'll never guess what he claims is his favorite study—Latin! Can you imagine that? “Larry” goes to Brown next year, but we feel sure that “when he gets to the college gates” (to quote?), he will not forget the class of ’25. Pawtucket Hich Schooi 1925 25 unim ■MIMIIMUIIM1IKI EUNICE FRANCES GILDEA (“Eunie”) Motto: “Love them all but marry none. From her motto, one might suspect that Eunice is a genuine heart-breaker. Such, however, is not the case, as a certain senior from Room 29 will confess. Eunice is always present at our track meets and foot-hall games, cheering herself hoarse for dear old P. H. S. At our dances she is always l eseiged by scores of suitors, so that she says she will have to divide the dances in order to accommodate everybody. Eunice takes to millinery very eagerly, and, judging by her hats, she is some milliner. Next year, Eunice may enter the Rhode Island College of Education to prepare to teach our future young hopefuls. HAROLD JOSEPH GILDEA (“Gil,” “Storky,” “Gilda”) . Motto: ‘7f is always a waste of time to ask a man to listen to reason at the moment when he ought to Jo it” CI.ASS TREASURER (3) (4), LEAGUE DELEGATE (2). VICE-PRESIDENT A. A. (3), PRESIDENT (4), FOOTBALL (2) (3) (4), BASKETBALL (3) (4), CAPTAIN B. B. (3| (4), TRACK (2) (3) (4), BASEBALL (3) (4), HOCKEY (4), GLEE CLUB (4), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (3), REVISORY COMMITTEE OF A. A. (4) Behold the noble visage of one of the most popular boys in our class! Gaze on his record and lie convinced! There has never been a committee without “Gil’s” inspiring and worthwhile influence. This little fellow (is he six feet two inches or six feet three inches?) has l een clearing the bar, shooting baskets, playing football, baseball and hockey for four successful years, and no prom or reception has been complete without his gallant presence. For two years he has been our trusty treasurer, and, in short, has l een in everything which could be crowded into four years. Harold has never claimed to lx much of a lady’s man, but he manages to hold his own with a certain dark-haired miss. Next year. “Gil hopes to enter Canisius College, Buffalo, but we know that wherever he goes he'll lx a prominent figure (literally and figuratively). LEO GOLDMAN HONOR SOCIETY Motto: II ny a pas Je rose sans cpeins” 1 Freely translated, this motto means, “Nothing is acquired without -u,;% r effort. Apparently this motto has inspired Leo throughout his career A in P. II. S.. because we find him emerging at the end. one of the envied ones of the Rhode Island Honor Society. His favorite study is French. P Often we have seen him the center of a group desirous of a little aid in that subject, in which he shone. His literary taste is a little out of the ordinal v. a- In prefers tin of that well known delineator of jlPW ( .ape Cod ts pe . Joseph C. Lincoln. Leo plan- next year to attend Rhode Island State where we expect he will gain more scholastic honors.

To paraphrase Patrick Henry, “Bunny” would say, “Give me a book, or give me death!” He prefers Samuel Clemens, more popularly known as Mark Twain. If his aim in life is as high as his literary taste, he will surely hit the stars. His favorite study is geometry, which he hopes to pursue more deeplv next year in Boston University. FLORENCE ELIZABETH HAWKINS Motto: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Florence is the quiet little miss who can usually be found in Room 29. surrounded by a group of her friends. Florence is one of those girls who never talks unless she has something worth while to say. W hen she does begin to give advice to her classmates, however, you mav believe that they all listen respectfully and are usually convinced before she has finished talking. When she isn’t working enthusiastically over a Spanish lesson, she is curled up in a large chair w ith a box of candy and one of Charles Dickins’ novels. Next year, Florence expects to attend R. I. College of Education, and so who knows but she may return to old P. H. S. a full-fledged “school marm”? VIRGINIA CHARLOTTE HAYMAN (“Ginger”) Motto: “Perfection is the point at ivhich all should aim.” GLEE CLUB (4) The girl with the big blue eyes, did you say? Yes, that’s she coming down the corridor, telling some funny incident to her neighbor, and throwing her into a gale of laughter. Where have you seen her before? She looks familiar. Well—the truth will out—she hasn’t missed one of the dances given by the Parent-Teacher Association. Perhaps that explains it. At any rate, we wonder which “Ginger” enjoys more, the dancing or the orchestra, for she is a true lover of music. English is her favorite study, but Virginia also likes her other classes—and the people in them. She thinks Booth Tarkington has a wonderful knowledge of youth, and prefers his books to those of any other author. Next year, “Ginger” is going to join the ranks at the Rhode Island College of Education. RAYMOND FREDERICK HENDERSON (“Ray’) Motto: “Don't do it.” CLEE CLUB (4), HONOR SOCIETY, MANAGER HOCKEY (4), MANACER TENNIS (4), SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE (4) Another of our popular fellows is Ray.” At all the social functions of the year one is sure to see “Ray” present. Although he is popular “Ray has in no way neglected his studies, and his scholastic ability is shown in the fact that he has been admitted to the Honor Society, an accomplishment which is not attained by the majority of boys. Next year Ray” intends to enter Brown, where success will surely come to him if he keeps up the reputation he established at P. H. S. Your classmates wish you the best of luck, “Ray.” 1925 Pawtucket Hich School 25 RMIMflMItMINMINWR III MIIMIII iniiTimiimilllumi mLltllllliHiililUilnmiiiilllWIlItttllBIHWIWIMIBIIIWMmUIIWIIimiWnMIimMWMIWIIIIIiaMIMBIM WILFRED PORTER HEYWOOD Motto: “Say it with music.” CLEE club (4) Wilfred is one of our most talented classmates. He certainly lives up to his motto, for he is a marvelous pianist, and one of the best musicians P. H. S. has ever produced. Wilfred is also something of an artist, and has a great old time drawing pictures of the rest of us, especially some of our fair damsels. His motto could well have been Better late ihan never.' for he has a great reputation for getting to school just too late. On Freak Day. Wilfred made a perfect movie villain with his marcel wave and monocle, and gave all the girls quite a thrill. Next year will find Wilfred enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design, and we are sure that in the future he will do something great, and will bring fame and honour to P. H. S. and the class of ’25. VINCENT BROWN HINDLEY fHink”) Motto: “Sink or swim.” Here is one whose voice is heard most often in the mathematics classes. Mathematical subjects, which are such a bugbear for so many, hold no terrors for him. One can see Hink” following the baseball team wherever it goes, as he is an ardent baseball fan. He is also a Zane Grey enthusiast. He expects to attend Rhode Island State next year. LILLIAN HELEN HOGAN (“Bill,” “Lily”) Motto: “Let those love now who never loved before. Let those who always loved, now love the more.” Who was the thirteenth president of the United States?” “Er—ah—” Why all this hesitation, “Bill”? Well, just because Lillian did not know the assignment. But that doesn’t happen very often, we’ll vouch for that. When you hear of a great prima donna bv the name of Lillian Hogan who sings for the Metropolitan Opera Company or some other great opera, you'll know that it’s “our” Bill. Next year she intends to enter Rhode Island College of Education, and we just know that she will make good if she keeps up the good work started in Pawtucket High School. Best of luck, “Lily.” FREDERICK JAMES HOLT ( Sheik”) Motto: “What you do. do well.” Sheik is one of those quiet fellows who mind their own business. He is, or rather, was. bashful, hence the name “Sheik.” My, but when these boys fall they fall hard. There hasn’t been a dance held during the past seven months at which Sheik” has not been present. At school he is all business. He w rites shorthand better than a Chinaman writes Chinese. We all know that “Sheik” will be successful in whatever he pursues in the future. Good luck. “Sheik. 26 IIIIIHIIIIMIIMIIWIItMIIHIIIIHIIIMIIIIMIIMIIMlINMHIIllllllllllllHINHIIIIIIIlBIIIIHIMIIIIIIMMIMIIItlllllRIIIMtlltlllllNIMMIIIIIIIIIHIIIMUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIUIIIlUilllflllltllliallll Pawtucket High School 1925 DORIS ANNA HOOD (“Jackie”) Motto: “Keep Smiling.'’ GLEE CLUB (4) We all know “Jackie,” and all declare she’s one of the best sports in the class. Remember what a perfect rig she had Freak Day? Doris certainly lives up to her motto, as she is the most cheerful girl in the class, and the head arbitrator of all quarrels, serious or insignificant. She was one of the first to join the Glee Club, and is a loyal supporter of Mr. Ladd. “Jackie” is not sure of her plans for next year, whether she will decide to brighten somebody’s office, or attend a librarians’ school. Whatever she decides to do, we know she’ll do it successfully, and will never forget her class in P. H. S. ROBERT KENNEDY HOOD (“Bob”) Motto: '‘What other fools have done. I can do. “Listen, my children, and you shall hear” not about Paul but about “Bob” himself. You know he went to Barrington High most of his senior year and from what we hear he must have been quite an important person down there. He went out for dramatics and debating and all that sort of thing. “Bob” likes English and history, and next year he’ll probably continue these studies and one or two more perhaps, at Rhode Island State College. He’s an ardent radio fan and may invent a “special model” some day. You never can tell, as Captain Kidd said to the dead pirate. However, 1925 wishes “Bob” the best of luck in everything he undertakes in the future. ELIZABETH TAYLOR HOWES (“Lib,” “Libby”) Motto: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. HONOR SOCIETY “Libby,” one of our more quiet members, is seen most of the time around room 29. Although she is quiet, she is “right there” when it comes to penetrating into the depths of Ovid, or following the travels of that worthy hero, Aeneas. She claims that French is her favorite study, yet, when she isn’t studying you may surely find her deep into the plot of some exciting novel by Charles Major. Next year “Lib” plans to go to Brown, and we all hope that she will go through there with as many flying colors as she did P. H. S. GEORGE HULME (“Georgie” I Motto: “Don’t say it, do it.” HONOR SOCIETY George is one of the more quiet members of our class, but we understand that he studies a good deal, so that probably accounts for it. George is one of the Pleasant View boys who for four years has made the long trip every morning. George is one of our radio sharks. Yes, he spends his spare time “tuning in” on his radio and we hear that he has wonderful luck. George has always led in his scholastic standing, in spite of his fondness for tennis and dramatics. He has followed the commercial line of study for four years and next year is anticipating either continuing his studies at business school or securing a position in an office. Good luck, George. ■niuiiiuiiamiiwiiMiuwiiini 1925 Pawtucket High School 27 DOROTHY HUNT (“Dot”) Motto: “Be yourself.” GLEANER (4), CHAIRMAN SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE (4), HONOR SOCIETY, RECORDANDA (4), ORCHESTRA (1) If you’re looking for a girl with pep, an all-around sport, and one who’ll add to the joy of the evening, let us present Dorothy. Conscientious as chairman of the Supper Committee, she is also excellent in her studies and always ready for fun. Dot” is one of the few who keeps Latin IV on the school curriculum. She claims, however, that she prefers English, and a glance at her report card would show us why. We konder if she has forgotten the public speaking class already? Impossible! Next year, she will climb the hill to Pembroke, and incidentally wake the place up. MARGUERITE HUNT (“Marge”) Motto: “There is so much good in the worst of us. and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us.” DRAMATICS (4), GLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4), SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE (4), HONOR SOCIETY “There goes Marguerite. No, it’s the other one. No it isn’t either, it’s ‘Marge.’ She’s just a little bit taller than her sister.” This puzzling situation arises about fifty times a day. It is really very difficult even for the faculty to tell them apart. Anyone who saw “Daddy Long Legs” cannot forget that stately matron named Mrs. Pritchard, so well interpreted by “Marge.” Next year she will enter Brown, and probably some day she will be back in Pawtucket High School, not as a pupil, naturally, but as one of the faculty. We wish you all the luck possible, “Marge,” when you leave high school to enter the gates of college. EDWARD B. JACKSON (“Spike”) Motto: “If there's anything worth doing, it’s worth doing well.” HONOR SOCIETY “Spike” is one of the few fellows who doesn’t have to study hard, yet he is a member of the Honor Society. Notwithstanding his outside activities, he always finds time to follow the athletic teams and to step around at the school functions. “Spike” and his friend Wilson are often seen motoring along the highways always accompanied by some (boy ?) friends. “Ed” also spends much of his time yachting on the Bav and several parties from school have enjoyed Sunday trips with him. “Spike” always endeavors to live up to his motto in everything he does and he is one of the hardest workers in the school. “Eddie’s” favorite study is French and, although he does well in all his studies, French is his best bet. “Ed” goes to R. I. State next year, and we know that he will be a success there also. 28 iiummmiiimiwu wimniwiiiiiHwmnuiuiiiiMiiHUiiwiiiuiimiiiiiHititiiwuiiiiMDniiimimiiauiimiHiiiiiniiwiuiaiiMiimiiiMiiHHiiniiiniiiiiiiiii Pawtucket High School 1925 iMuuiHMiiMNMi MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNHMMi HOPE JAMES (“Jimmie,” “Hopie”) Motto: “No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of truth.” CLASS VICE-PRESIDENT 14), VICE-PRESIDENT DRAMATIC SOCIETY (4), PRESIDENT DRAMATIC SOCIETY (4), CLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4), SWIMMING (2), DRAMATICS (3) (4), ORCHESTRA (3) (4), GLEE CLUB ill. HONOR SOCIETY. DRAMATIC SOCIETY SCHOLARSHIP (4) It can t be—but it is. Hope James! We’ve lost our bobbed-haired “Jimmie.” But I’m not sure hut what our grown-up “Hopie” is even more adorable—but of coure that's impossible. She's certainly one of P. H. S’s. most talented—and even swimming, singing, playing and acting are not her only accomplishments. There can be no one among those who saw “The Champion” who will soon forget the captivating “Lady Gallon.” But her studying has not suffered as a result of all these outside attractions, and we find her name on the Honor Society list. Next year will find “Hopie” at the Emerson School of Oratory, and who knows but what she’ll become a second Maude Adams? (mod-bye and good luck. “Hopie.” donald McGregor Jeffrey (“Don”) Motto: “If there isn't fun. make it.” BASEBALL (3) (4), GLEE CLUB (4) Is this Donald Jeffrey? It sho’ly am! Last year he was a “sub” on the baseball nine, but he's risen in life, and now he’s pitcher on the biggest and best—what’s that?—team that the school ever had. No, he isn’t “stuck up,” even though he has such a remarkable—ahem—voice that he’s also a member of the boys’ Glee Club. When he isn't in school or practising or playing baseball, he likes to bowl and read. His favorite author is Zane Grey, and if that writer could see how many P. 11. S. seniors are rooting for him, we might get a commission as press agents. “Don’s” favorite study, if any, is history. Next year he intends to go to Tufts to study medicine, and we wish him the best of luck, and hope that he'll continue to live up to his motto, which suits him perfectly. EVELYN HOPE JOHNSON (“Evie”) Motto: “It's never to late to learn.” See that girl over there with the fluffy, yellow hair? That's Evelyn. I here she is in the midst of an interested group, talking and laughing. “Evie can talk intelligently on all the latest styles, and is quite an authority about the latest dance steps. When it comes to dancing. “Evie is always there till “Good Night, Ladies,” and then she goes reluctantly. We can hardly blame her. for she certainly can dance. “Evie” is training to In a stenographer, and we wonder if she can’t break some records in that line, especially as she admits that stenography is her favorite study. Next year “Evie” plans to continue her work at Bryant and Stratton’s. P. H. S. and the class of ’25 sends its heartiest wishes for success with you. uumimmmui •. 1925 Pawtucket High School 29 HILDEGARDE MARIE ELIZABETH JOHNSON rHilda”) Motto: “B Q (be square).” honor society Every school needs must have its different types of boys and girls. It isn’t at all difficult to classify Hildegarde. Although her name is not Edith Taylor, like the girl in the cartoon, and although she doesn't shock anyone by her actions, “Hilda” is the typical tomboy of P. H. S. Those who were formerly unaware of this fact, discovered it with the opening of the gym. where “Hilda” is a wizard at broad-jumping, high-jumping, trapeze and apparatus work. As to her school work, it is sufficient to say that she is a member of the Honor Society. Next year will probably find “Hilda” training for a nurse, a career for which she is fitted. CLAYTON HOWE JONES (“Clayt” “Jonsey”) Motto: “A zero is better than nothing.” “Variety is the spice of life” is a fit description for “Clayt.” First we see him as the boy-chemist, spilling a buc ket of water on a lump of potassium or performing some other interesting experiment. In contrast with this we find him an ardent supporter of athletics, lending his expert advice on this or that play in the coming game, and although not a member of the debating teams he has put to rout more than one worthy opponent. “Clayt” can even make Mr. Battles doubt the Pythagorean Theory. Behold “Clayt” from another angle—the “Ladies’ Man,” Ruth’s ideal. A complex character, this “Jonsey.” He has not yet selected a college for his perusal of education but when he does it will be some place where he can follow up his beloved “trig” and apply it to electrical engineering. MILDRED LOIS JONES (“Mid”) Motto: ‘' fitch your ‘Fliv9 to a star” If you should look into room 2d, around 8:25 in the morning, you would see a group of giggling girls gathered in the farthest corner of the room, and in their midst you would find “Mid.” She came to us four years ago from Grove Street, and since then we have seen lots, but heard little, from her, as she is very quiet. Since her arrival at the portals of P. H. S. she has pursued the commercial course, and statistics show that stenography is her favorite study. As for dancing, she is right there, and she claims this to be her most beloved pastime. She will, no doubt, enter some office in the fall, where she will continue her fine work as a stenographer. CHARLOTTE DOROTHEA KEARNEY (“Chari” “Charlie”) Motto: “Opportunity knocks once at least at every man's door” GLEE CLUB (4), HONOR SOCIETY Our history shark, but not only history but everything as far as that goes. “Charlie” is one of our smarter set in the Honor Society. We suppose she deems it essential to be proficient in all lines, as next year she is hoping to go to Rhode Island College of Education, where she will most likely specialize in English, her favorite study. In her spare moments she reads, or else she spends her time dancing, as she is fond of both pastimes. We wish her all possible luck, and we are sure that she will make a name for herself when she gets to college gates. nnnittaumi iiiuimiiiiiuiitmiiiiuiiiaittaiiiimimtiraiiin miHRiiimnm iimiiiimaiiiimiiniimiii nuiiami 30 Pawtucket Hich School 1925 niMnmHtiiiwiiiiiiiMmiiiiimuutiiiuiiiutiiimiuMMnmtraMiifltiitiiinmiiiraiiiiiiiiiniiiuiiiiniiraiimiiiniHiRiim ELIZABETH CECELIA KEENAN (“Bessie”) Motlo: “If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.” “Bessie” the shy, “Bessie” the quiet, “Bessie” the bashful! Is that the impression you received at first? Well, suffice it to say that “Appearances are deceiving.” Elizabeth is neither shy, quiet, nor bashful; neither is she too forward. “Bessie” is fond of the Romance Languages, especially French, and it really is a pleasure to hear her speak it. In fact, we like to hear “Bessie” whenever she talks, for her voice is soft and pleasant. And she is no mean hand at reading, which she enjoys doing better than anything else. She doesn’t force herself onto anyone’s attention, but she is always ready to enter into the spirit of fun. Next year Bessie, in all probability, is going to further her education at the Rhode Island College of Education. The best wishes of P. H. S. go with her. JAMES FRANK KELLY (“Jim,” “Kel”) Motto: “For better or jor worse.” Sock! Bang! Kelly’s at his favorite pastime, throwing erasers. “Jim” is no mean shot with the padded felt oblongs, and many a neck has whitened under his skilled aim. Although this illegal sport is “Jim’s” favorite in school, nevertheless, he is a good scholar, and well liked in all his classes. His favorite class is history, where Jim rakes in a nice lot of 5’s. “Jim’s” favorite author is George Eliot, and he says that Silas Marner is a “keen story,” especially when Duncan goes off and sells Godfrey’s horse. Outside of school, “Kel” likes to play football better than anything else. He is a skilled half-back, and many a foe has been evaded by this elusive runner. Next year Kelly goes to Bryant and Stratton’s to specialize in business. Best of luck, old man. ANNA NILA KEOUGH (“Boots”) Motto: “Smile, it doesn’t cost anything.” PRESIDENT GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (4), BASKETBALL (3) (4), MANAGER OF SWIMMING (4) Crash, bang, bing! Here comes “Boots” all set for some fun. Whenever there’s anything doing, she’s always in the midst doing her share. Anna, beside being one of the best basketball players for two years, and manager of the swimming team, has nobly carried on her capable shoulders all the problems of the Athletic Association, she being president. In spite of all this hustling, “Boots” manages to devote a great deal of her time to her many friends, especially the “Gang.” Next year’s plans are uncertain for her, but whatever they are, we know- she will suceed. EUGENE OTTO KORLACKI (“Gene”) Motto: “Vouloir c’esl pouvoir.” DRAMATICS (2), ORCHESTRA (1) (2) (3) (4), CHEMISTRY TEAM (4) Ah! the big man, the man who waited until the third term of his last year to put on long “genes.” Often, in taking the attendance record, have his teachers feared that he had been lost in a rut on his w-ay to school, only to find that they had quite overlooked him because of his small stature. “Gene has literally blow-n himself to glory during the past four years, via the cornet. In the chemistry laboratory he may be often found proving to Mr. Wolfe’s utter satisfaction that hydrogen sulphide is unpleasant, or startling the class with some new theory concerning explosives. Next year he hopes to further demonstrate the powers of explosions at Brown University, where he will get ready to step into Edison’s shoes. 1925 rill' IHmifl imiiaiHw HMiliitMmuifmnniintmimiiiHmmiiiiiniiHuiianingitmillMlinPIUBinHUBlUBUWIHWIHHMIlll Pawtucket High School 31 ISRAEL KRETMAN (“Izzie”) Mol to: “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” DEBATING (4).

The youngster is only small in stature. He is a great little debater. “Izzie” can argue you into believing yourself dead. The lad is of a very studious frame of mind. He is one of our best shorthand pupils. He can play “Peter Pan” on the keyboard of a typewriter better than “Pad” could on the piano. “Izzie” is going to enter a business school, like Bryant and Stratton, or perhaps R. I. State, in the fall. JOSEPH FRANK KULICK I Speed ) Motto: “He who hesitates is last.” Here we have one of the most sensible fellows in the class, very seldom heard from unless he has something worth while to say. In spite of his quietness, those who know him well know that there is plenty of “jazz” under the surface. “Speed,” when coupled up with a gang, quickly shows how practical his nickname is. He had a hard time picking his favorite study, hut finally decided that he preferred chemistry to his other subjects. The class hopes that he will not forget his motto, for nothing would please it more than to see him come out first. Next year “Speed” will hang his cap at Rhode Island State College. FLORENCE ELIZABETH LARSON (“Flossie”) Motto: “The best way to have a jriend is to be one.” ■ HONOR SOCIETY All! here’s “Flossie,” the most lovable girl in our class. No matter whether everything has gone dead wrong, you will still find her as cheerful and gay as ever. In some unknown manner, “Flossie” is able to participate in everything and still receive her large share of 5’s. Some have even ventured to say that she is rather quiet, but they are the ones who are not acquainted with her. “Flossie declares her favorite study is English, but we think they are all pretty evenly divided by the marks on her report card. Next year Brown is claiming her, but wherever she is, we know she will never forget our class of ’25. Best o’ luck, “Flossie.” ERONICA FRANCES LEE (“Vera,” “Painey”) Motto: “Be slow to promise, and quick to perform. SECRETARY GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (4) We think that pep and “Vera” must be synonyms. At least it would seem so where “Vera” is concerned! “Vera is one of these all around good sports. She’s always on hand where theres the most fun, and nine times out of ten she’s the center of the group. We think Vera must have about broken the record of attendance at football and basketball games. She’s always there cheering as hard as she can. “Vera's” popularity isn’t limited to school affairs, and where there is dancing, there is “Vera.” Next year, “Vera” says, “Either Miss Gibb’s or Bryant and Stratton’s.” P. H. S. and the class of '25 wish you the best of luck, “Vera.” 32 Pawtucket High School 1925 IBtiiwiiiiiiiitiiiiHiintiitiiiiiiniMiiiiiiiHiiiiiMmniimiHiHHiiiinwi wiiwnwiiwiiwiiliHiiMiiiMH«iiwi� lMiiwiiiB� iiiiilBiiiniinini� miiiiiiinniiiiniiiiiinMit� niiigiiii� iiMiiiiimiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiii[iiri iitmii� iiiimiiiiiiii«iiiniiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiintiiiiiiiiiinmim� iiimn BEATRICE LAURETTA L’HEUREUX (“Bea,” “Bobby”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you. “Bea” is one of the quietest young ladies of the class of ’25. She is studious, earnest, modest and hard-working. “Bea” always has a smile for everyone, and we cannot recollect one instance where she did not show a broad smile on her face. Your motto, “Bobby,” is very wise indeed. “Bea” tells us that she likes automobile riding. That is very enjoyable and expensive, also. “Bea” is a bookkeeping “shark.” She has signified her favoritism towards it, too. She is the star bookkeeper (?) in her class. “Bobby” likes stenography, too. Her future is rather vague. She says she's going to be “somebody’s stenog.” How romantic! However, the best wishes of the class will follow her wherever she goes. RUTH AGNES LIBERTY (“Ruthie”) Motto: “If rife it on your heart that every day is the very best day in the year. Ruth is one of the nicest girls in the senior class. She doesn’t say very much, but she is always happy, and always ready to help others. It is quite evident that Ruth believes in deeds, not words. That is what makes her so well liked, for good deeds advertise themselves! Ruth excels in shorthand, one of her favorite studies, so intends to continue her work next year at Hubbard’s. We are very sure when we predict great success that our prophecy will come true. RICHMOND A. LIVINGSTONE (“Edison”) Motto: “Labor omnia vincit.” GLEANER (4l, RECORDANDA (4), PRESIDENT RADIO CLUB (4), SECRETARY RADIO CLUB 13), CHEMISTRY TEAM (4) “2 NaHCO, + H.SO, = Xa_.SC), + 2 H.CO...” Oh! don’t get excited, nothing’s going to harm you—it's only “Edison” talking. No matter where that boy is. he's always talking on some treatise pertaining to the solar system or why the world’s round. His talk is usually above the comprehension of his listeners, but the boy sure knows his stuff. If you should see a young man in any of the corridors with a gas engine, radio, or moving picture machine, it’s “Edison.” The boy inventor is planning to take an engineering course at Brown next year. We shall probably hear of him in the future as a prominent engineer. LOUISE OTTILIE LOCHNER (“Lu”) Motto: “Variety is the spice oj life. P. II. S. is going to have a strong representation at Bryant and Stratton’s next year, and Louise is one of the prospective students. (We want you to stand up for the old school. Louise, and tell them how we do things in P. H. S. She is a fine, likable girl, with a smile for everybody. She takes her studies seriously, though, and she is the kind of girl who will bring honor to our class in the future. Don’t get the idea that Louise is serious all the time, though, for if you do you'll be seriously mistaken. She is very fond of dancing, and she can dance, too! And she isn't always serious in class, either, for she loves fun as well as anyone. After Bryant and Stratton's, we expect it will be the business world for Louise.

She is one of the most talented people in our class. “Anne” is a poet, a musician, an actress, an athlete and a brilliant student all in one. And still she’s so unconscious of it all that she just radiates friendship. “Goldie” is probably best known through the “Have You Kver’s” in the Gleaner. They have been one of the big features of our paper this year. As her motto signifies, she is a regular Dr. Johnson at making conversation. At recess or between classes you will always see her in the midst of a flock of girls talking a steady stream. Anna’s favorite study is English, and Dumas furnishes her favorite literature. She plans to take a post graduate course next year. Pawtucket High is to be congratulated at having another year of her ! efore she enters Wheaton. EDWARD HUNTER LONG i“Ed” Motto: “Be friendly to all.” FOOTBALL (4), TRACK (4), PRESIDENT RADIO CLUB (31 Shakespeare once said, “What’s in a name?” and it applies a great deal in this case. Long is one of our star athletes in track, and seems to excel in the art of shot-putting. He is one of the radio fans of our class, for during his spare moments he experiments with new sets and “tunes in” on distant stations. He says his favorite study is drawing. If not at one of the aforesaid pastimes, you will find him deep in a thrilling western story of cattle rustling, etc. “Ed” is planning to enter R. I. State next year. We hope that he will never forget P. H. S., and keep up the scholastic as well as athletic standing. IK)RIS GERTRUDE LUDGATE (“Dot”) Motto: “Look up. and laugh, and love, and live.” SECRETARY OF CLASS (3 I (4l, GLEANER (3 I (4), RECORDANDA (4), CLASS HISTORIAN. SENIOR PLAY COMMITTEE (4), GLEE CLUB (41, HONOR SOCIETY, PROPERTY COMMITTEE “SEVEN chances” (4) “Dot,” the girl of ’25. Where could you find a better sport, a better scholar or a better girl? Whether at work or at play, “Dot” is always cheerful and smiling and living entirely up to her motto. As one of the “Duncan Sisters” she and the other “Dot” are encored again and again. At class meetings it is always “Dot” who gives the minutest reports of the preceding meeting. Rut when it comes to dancing, “Dot” more than steps to the fore. She trips the light fantastic as well as Terpsichore herself. In the classroom “Dot” is always relied upon to answer when others fail. She confesses that English is her favorite study, although all the others are a pleasure to her. “Dot” is undecided whether to enter a higher institution of learning next year or to enter upon a business career. Whatever she may decide upon we know that the same cheerful, smiling “Dot” will remain true to herself and her friends. .................................................................................................................................................... . i iiiii uiniiii.iiiwiiimim'iii 34 Pawtucket High School .1925 ............................................................................................................................................................. ANNETTE BLANCHE LUSSIER (“Ann”I Motto: “Great oaks from little acorns grow. “Ann” is an extremely quiet little girl. She is “mum,” except when in the company of the inseparable Lussier twins. Then, she talks too much. In fact, chastisement follows. Never mind, “Ann,” silence is golden, except in politics. We wonder if “Ann” can sing, for she says that singing is her favorite pastime. She must he able to. but how, we would like to know. “Ann” likes reading second best. When she reads she evidently peruses good books, for Louisa Alcott is her ideal author. She thinks that bookkeeping is “perfectly wonderful,” and gives that as her favorite subject, with typewriting as a second choice. Wherever “Ann” goes with the intention of becoming a private secretary, we wish her luck. ESTELLE YVONNE LUSSIER (“Twinie”) Motto: “Perseverance and cheerfulness usually win BASKETBALL (2) (4), HONOR SOCIETY And now we come to the Siamese or rather Lussier twins, Estelle and Germaine. We don't know which is which, but they must, so we write without distinction. However, what applies to one applies to the other. Estelle is a rather cute little girl, bobbed hair n’everything. She is very modest, however, as well as cute. In her recitations she seems to lx rather shy, but we don’t think she is, for her favorite pastime is attending parties, and shyness is an absent quality in socials. Typewriting and stenography occupy first place in “Twinie’s” heart, we understand. “Twinie” intends to embark upon the sea of commerce, to make a place for herself in the business world. The best wishes of the class follow her. GERMAINE ROSE LUSSIER (“Twinie”) Motto: “Be pleasant every morning until ten o’clock; the rest of the day will care for itself BASKETBALL (2) (4), HONOR SOCIETY And now we have the other of the two twins. We can’t tell which is Germaine, but we’ll try and guess. “Twinie” is a very cute and modest young lady. She is very studious and earnest. “Twinie” obtained by liard work, membership in the R. I. Honor Society, as her twin sister did also. She studies very hard and earns her good marks. Germaine informs us that walking is her favorite pastime. That is a very appropriate sport, in keeping with the prevalent economical policy. She maybe a historian some day. for U. S. History is her favorite subject. “Twinie” says that she may be any of three things next year, bookkeeper, stenographer, or typist. Whatever she may choose does not matter; the heartiest wishes for success from our class go with her. ALMON BINGHAM MacMANUS (“Mac”) Motto: “They accomplish much who diligently toil.” “Mac” is that quiet looking chap in Room 23, but beware, girls! We have pretty good proof that he spends all of his spare time racing into 29 to see a certain blonde miss. Don’t get nervous. “Mac.” we have no intention of disclosing her identity. “Mac” is another one of our science sharks, and can be seen quite often in the “lab” trying out some new experiment. However, in spite of the several attractions ( ? I which P. H. S. affords him, he does not spend his entire day there. He is an ardent tennis player and is well known at the courts. Next year, “Mac” intends to travel to Wesleyan University, and the class of ’25 wishes him the best of luck.

Why, of course, it’s “Jimmie” Mahon! He’s the fellow you have seen plugging around the track out at Slater Park so often in the spring, or breaking his own shot-put record every week or so. “Jimmie” likes U. S. History better than his other subjects, but really prefers to read Zane Grey for amusement. His motto, “Do it now,” is characteristic of him, to say the least. “Jimmie” will probably return to P. H. S. for a post graduate course next year. Our track team will he fortunate to have him for another year. PHILIP TILLOTSON MAKER (“Phil” “Tillie”) Motto: A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best oj men” TRACK (31, DEBATING (4), DRAMATICS ( 4 ), GLEE CLUB 4 1, SEC. SCIENCE CLUB (4), PROPERTY MANAGER “THE CHAMPION ’ (4 I, GLEANER (4). RECORDANDA (4), LEAGUE DELEGATE (4) This, dearest reader, is he! Look over the above list again, and then wonder how he did it. Regard the “phiz ’ of our representative from Vermont's magnificent mountains. He is as tall as you would expect; sandy-haired, blue-eyed, and as companionable as can be desired. “Phil” has scientific inclinations, and puzzles our beloved chem professor with questions that require explanations of startling length. System! He scored a great hit in the senior play, in which he was the inevitable hero. “Phil’s” success as a Brown man next year is a settled fact. Anything he touches just blooms over with success. I hat you have the best wishes of the ’25’s goes without saying, “Phil. BEATRICE MARY MAMIGONIAN (“Bee”) Motto: “Don l drink from your cup, your saucer holds more” Beatrice is another one of our quiet members. She is that little girl with the lovely long brown hair who sits in room twenty-three. Although she has a long way to come every morning from the wilds of Pleasant V iew she is always here on time. “Bee” likes to sew and to cook—and she is very fond of reading. Sl e also likes to study—especially shorthand. which is her favorite subject and in which she excels. Next year Bee” intends to enter Bryant and Stratton’s Business College, and whether she becomes a teacher or a private secretary we know' she will be a great success. Good luck, Beatrice. CATHERINE FRANCES MANGAN (“Kay,” “Babe”) Motto: “Labor conquers everything.” There she is! Smooth-tempered, ever ready with a smile, always the best of companions—that's “Kay!” Those who are privileged to know “Kay” realize how lucky they are. When you read Grace Richmond’s (“Kay’s” favorite, by the way) description of the ideal girl friend, you immediately get a mind-picture of “Kay.” She is a thorough student, but shows her partiality for French. She is a great rooter for P. H. S. in all athletics. Most probably, Normal will be the honored school next year, and if so we may look for a chairman of dance committees w ith the initials of “C. F. M.” “Kay” will come back, we hope, to hold her own as a teacher in old P. H. S. Wherever you go, “Kay,” you will always take with you our wishes for good luck. 1925 lii uiMUiwHNwuuni::iii.miirmmi.iuiiiMiiimiiumiiuiiiwimnilWM ■WMiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiwiMBiiwiiMii-TnMiiwMTmniinmnMiwMtanTmr iTi'wniimni'rit”!”' 1”' ™ 36 Pawtucket High School 1925 LEO DENNIS MARSHALL (“Lee”) Motto: “Hoy no manana HOCKEY (4) “Lee” was one of the men who helped the hockey team to end such a successful—? season. He is a great fighter and does not give in. He not only is a fighter hut can cut some nice figures with a keen pair of steel blades. “Lee is quite a mathematician. He is very adept with the drafting implements. The boy is one of the quiet kind but is. nevertheless. there. He lends his melodious voice to the rest of those trying to form a Glee Club. As yet he is undecided about next fall, but lie will undoubtedly enter one of the local colleges. VERA NORCLIFFE MATTESON (“Pat,” “V”) Motto: “Laugh, love and live. PROPERTY COMMITTEE “SEVEN CHANCES 9 (4 . GLEANER (3) (4), RECORDANDA (4), GLEE CLUB (4). HONOR SOCIETY LINCOLN ESSAY MEDAL (4) The girl in room 23 with the big brown eyes and the jet black hair? W hy, of course, that’s our Vera. Most anytime you can find her with the inseparable twins, with whom she journeys every morning from the “Plat.” Vera's reports have been resplendant with 5’s ever since she was a freshman and it certainly makes a few of us sigh when we gaze upon them. Vera's accomplishments are very versatile as she is a fond devotee of the Terpsichorean art and has appeared several times as a prima donna in our musical productions. Vera may be found at all our games rooting loyally for the home team, in company with the “gang.” Next year Vera enters Pembroke with our heartiest wishes for continued success. MARGARET J. FRANCES McCABE (“Peg,” “Mac”) Motto: “When there's no fun. make it. You all must know “Peg.” She sits in Room 29, where she usually is surrounded by a group of girls preparing the day’s lessons, or planning for a good time. From what we can find out about “Mac,” she's just full of fun. Those snappy brown eyes just spell pep. And Margaret is right there when it comes to having a good time. She has always upheld her scholastic standing during her four years with us, and she says her favorite study is French. Her plans are uncertain for next year, but we know that she'll make a name for herself in whatever line of work she undertakes. Good luck. “Peg!’’ MARY VERONICA McCAFFREY (“Mae”) Motto: “Never in a hurry, always in haste. We hereby declare this to be a pretty good motto for one who aspires to bo a stenographer. As her favorite study is shorthand, and we understand that she is going to Bryant Stratton’s for further education along that line, we anticipate a one hundred per cent helping hand for some fortunate business man bye and bye. Between evenings spent in perusing Marion Crawford and pursuing the light fantastic occasionally. we predict an interesting future for Mary. 37 1923 Pawtucket High School mnuiiiwnwiiiHiiiiniiiRiiiiiiiiiniiiHiiiiHiiiiiiiiim ELLEN CLARE McCAUGHEY (“Mac”) Motto: “Be young as long as you can” You may be glad that “spring has come” hut Ellen isn't—that is. not so very—because she likes to skate, almost better than anything else. But when she can’t do that she swims, which is almost as much fun. She likes to read in her spare time, and we think she shows excellent taste in her favorite author. Zane Grey. Although “Mac’' likes to dance she doesn't trip the light fantastic all the time, for she has been on the honor roll several times. Her motto is “Be young as long as you can.” and she won’t have to try very hard to live up to it. for she is “petite” and youthful looking anyway. Although she is rather quiet she has a host of friends ready to sing her praises, and next year when she enters St. Joseph's Hospital to train to he a nurse the best wishes of the class will so with her. LOUIS FREDERICK McCAUGHEY (“Mac”) Motto: “Live and let live.” Here’s another of our big hoys! And do you remember him when he was a freshie? Of course, three years’ time make a big difference in all of us. hut Louis certainly has stretched out! Wonder if it's “gym or baseball or what? He used to he very bashful and shy, too, especially when there were any girls in sight, hut don't forget, that that was a long time ago—and—well, girls love a tall man. Louis always has an angelic, quiet, reserved look. Don't he misled, though. Looks are often deceiving. He's just as full of pep and go and fun as can he. On the other hand, he can buckle down and he as serious and studious as anyone. Louis’ plans for next year are not yet decided on. hut whatever he does, he is sure to make a success of it. The class wishes him the best of luck! TERESA CHRISTINE McCAUGHEY (“Chris”) Motto: “I'll try anything once.” GLEANER (31 (4), RECORDANDA (4), HONOR SOCIETY “Excuse my dust!” That’s “Chris”—she’s off for the golf links in her car. Someday we may have a Glenna Collett of our own. for “Chris” certainly believes that “practise makes perfect where golf is concerned. Golf and driving are “Chris’ ” favorite sports, and she certainly does shine in them. When “Chris” isn’t on the green or driving, she manages to do a little studying. She says that English is her favorite subject, hut we notice that her other marks do not suffer. Next to golf and driving, “Chris” likes swimming, dancing and basketball, and we will never forget the good times with “Chris” in the “gym class. “Chris” is undecided about next year, but whether she goes down to Trinity or in to Brown, we know that she'll continue to be the good sport and student she always has been. MADELINE FRANCES McCRORY (“Pal”) Motto: “To be rather than to seem.” Of course you know Frances. Surely if you have been in any of her classes you do. “Pal” is one of those lucky people who are blest w ith a happy disposition. Of course she's terribly interested in her school work hut she’s also interested in having a good time, even in the midst of some of her classes. Don t get the idea that “Pal isn t a good student. F rench is her favorite subject and if you heard her translate a few times you would know why. We also understand that she is right there when it comes to tennis, and has visions of being a second Mademoiselle Lenglen. She carries our best wishes for success next year, when she plans to study pharmacy. 38 Pawtucket High School 1925 inmiiHHiHiiiimiimiiimiiiaiimiiiMMiimiiniimntiiwiiuiiiiniiiiHiM MATILDA VERONICA Me DOUG ALL (“Tillie”) Motto: “Variety is the spice oj life.” Of course we all know who this is. It’s Matilda Veronica McDougall, or in other words just ‘‘Tillie.” Yes, you certainly can’t he in one of “Tillie's ' classes very long before you know who she is, because if there’s any fun going on “Tillie is always in the midst of it. She has really made quite a hit with a good many of the homelier sex and several members of the faculty, although we won't bother to mention any names. “Tillie” likes to read history when she is studiously inclined, but really prefers one of Ethel Dell’s books. Of course, dancing is her favorite pastime. She plans to enter Rhode Island College of Education next fall, and has our heartiest wishes for a successful career. FRANCIS ANTHONY McGARRIGLE (“Tanner”) Motto: “Play fair and square” BASEBALL (3), BASKETBALL (4) “Tanner” came down to us from our sister-city in his junior year. He entered our ranks as a junior. As soon as he had come, the athletic spirit in him cropped out. for he could not let the baseball season go on without him. and so he entered baseball. “Tanner” is a very manly young man. Although he is not very tall, he is very quick and snappy. He goes about with marvelous speed. We see him frequently talking to the girls. As a reader and lover of books, “Tanner” has chosen Mary Waller as his favorite author. Golfing is his favorite pastime. Next year “Tanner” plans to enter Tufts Academy. We hope that he may accomplish his desire, and assure him that the best wishes of the class of '25 will follow him. KATHLEEN LORETTA McGOWAN (“Loret” l Motto: “One take this9 is worth more than two 7 will give you.9 ” Another one of our quiet, studious, serious-minded senior girls? Well, we should say not! Quiet? Sometimes. Studious? Well, she must be, from the fact that she likes her study periods better than her other studies. Serious-minded? Oh. of course, in some ways, but we sort of learned by hearsay that her favorite pastime is making dates. “Loret” (she didn't have a nickname so we had to invent one! likes to read Bill Rogers, and next year plans to become “Somebody’s Stenog.” We just know she’ll make a success of it. WINSTON BRADFORD McKAY (“Winnie”) Motto: “Open Rebuke is Better than Secret Hatred.” MANAGER TRACK (4), DRAMATICS (4), GLEE CLUB (4), JUNIOR PROM CHAIRMAN (3), CHEER LEADER (4), SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE (4) Another of our most popular fellows is “Winnie” McKay. At all games of the year, whether it be football, basketball or baseball, our gallant cheer leader is right on his job leading the people from Pawtucket High School in the cheers for their teams. “Winnie” makes a very good Irishman, as was shown by his acting the part of Mr. Mooney in “The Champion.” At the social functions of the school he is one of the leading factors because he is present at all of them, helping to make them a success, as his favorite pastime is dancing. Next year “Winnie” is planning to enter New Bedford Textile. We wish you the best of luck, “Winnie.” 1925 MtattlMIIIMIMIHMWIlWIHIWIIMItWIlHHUMIIWIIIimmiHUWIMItlWHIMIIMHIMlWIIHmUMMIHHIHMUMniMIMI Pawtucket High School IIUMlinUUlUIHUIIMWIlMMlWIIIIIIIINIIIMUItUJIlllUDlUlIUtlllWUlUIIIMUMtMIlMlWtlllUMUnBUtlMlUitini H9 CATHERINE AGNES Mc.KENNA (“Kitty”I Mollo: “Be not ivise in your own conceits.” Here is another stenographer in the bud. She is also a worshipper at the shrine of Terpsichore. But when not thus engaged, she enjoys an evening spent with Marion Crawford. Vie understand that Bryant Stratton's will claim her talents next year. Good luck. Catherine. JOHN ANTHONY McKNIGHT (“Jack,” “Mac”) Motto: “Work and success will follow.” Jack” is most often found in deep discussion (with several other sharks I about the architectural design of some building or other. His skill in drawing is not easily excelled. Houses, mansions, bungalows, business blocks, and numerous designs grow under bis able pen with a speed that seems almost magical. He says that he likes history best, but his abilities seem so evenly distributed that he does very well in every subject. “Jack” is quiet and retiring, but once a friend, always a friend” particularly applies here. He has great aspirations as an architectural designer, and he intends to follow up his successful P. H. S. course in R. I. School of Design. No need to wish him success. He has the key to it, nevertheless, “Jack,” we hope you have the best luck in anything you undertake. WILFRED JOSEPH MEAGHER (“Bill ) Motto: “Variety is the spice oj life.” BASKETBALL (4� , CLEE CLUB (4) Here is “Bill”—another one of our best-known classmates. Bill gets along famously with the girls—maybe because he’s such a marvelous dancer. He certainly can out-step all the rest of the P. H. S. sheiks, and that’s saying a lot! Although he says, “Variety is the spice of life,” he seems to find a great attraction in a certain pretty young junior, and we don’t blame him in the least. Bill is keen on athletics—especially basketball—and was one of the team’s best players. He seldom studies, but, just the same, gets good marks. “Bill’s” quite an artist, and decorates all the autograph books with his “varsity men. Lately we’ve seen him tearing around in his Cadillac roadster, and—well, he’s quite a boy! Next year. Wilfred intends to go up the hill with the rest of the crowd to Brown. Good luck, “Bill!” RALPH BENNETT MILLIGAN Motto: “A closed mouth catches no flies.” BASEBALL (41 Wc don’t believe Ralph lives up to his motto, for whenever you see him he's generally talking. He is another member of the talented crowd who have made Room 20 so famous this year. On Freak Day, Ralph showed us how a girl ought to look, and we all admired his blue eyes and wonderful complexion-—that skin you love to touch—eh, Ralph? Ralph enjoys all kinds of sports and attends all our games— and incidentally, most of our dances! He tells us that French is his favorite subject—we wonder why! Next year Ralph intends to go to Brown, and we are sure that his ease of manner and energetic personality will win for him many friends in college, although we know he will never forget P. H. S.! The best wishes of the class go with you, Ralph. 40 HHUiiwiiiumuiiiiHiiimiinqiipnin Pawtucket High School 1925 ROBERT SCOTT MONAHAN (“Bob,” “Mony”) Motto: “To be good is well, to do good is better, to ‘make good’ is best” ASSISTANT EDITOR CLEANER (31, EDITOR GLEANER (4), EDITOR RECORD-ANDA (41, VICE-PRESIDENT LYCEUM (3), PRESIDENT LYCEUM (1), DEBATING (2) (3 I (4 I, ASSISTANT MANAGER FOOTBALL (3), MANAGER FOOTBALL ( 4), TRACK (2) (3) (41, DRAMATICS (4), REVISORY COMMITTEE OF A. A. (4), HONOR SOCIETY, DRAMATIC SOCIETY SCHOLARSHIP (4� Occasionally a class produces fellows whom even superlatives cannot describe. Perhaps “Bob” can be classed as one of those. He got away to a flying start in his freshman year, pulling down fives in about everything. With such a foundation he has been able to devote more time to outside activities and yet qualify for the Honor Society. To enumerate every single honor that has been his would indeed be a difficult task, but to point out a few will show how well his four short years have been spent. “Bob” has been in every debate since his sophomore year; edited the Recordanda and the Gleaner; has been in several dramatic casts, notably in the senior play; managed the football team so well financially that Mr. Holden had difficulty in convincing himself that the sight of pouring shekels was not a dream: and lastly, has held a berth on the track team for three years. Next fall he packs for Dartmouth, where he will prepare for the Harvard Law School. The class of 25 prides itself on the production of such a fine fellow, and hopes some day to read of the Honorable Robert Scott Monahan. Senator from Rhode Island at Washington. ELEANOR WHITMAN MORSE (“El Motto: “A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market” DRAMATICS (41, CLEANER (3) (4l, RECORDANDA (4l. CLASS PROPHET (4), JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE (3), HONOR SOCIETY Do you remember “our” Junior Prom? Foolish question! Of course. 1925 made that, like everything else it ever did. a never-to-be-forgotten affair, and “El” was on the committee! Although she claims that dancing and drawing are her favorite pastimes, we have first-hand evidence that she studies, too. for she’s in the R. I. Honor Society. Eleanor intends to go to R. I. School of Design or Pratt Institute, and we know she’ll do well at either school, for she certainly can draw! GERTRUDE EVANGELISTA MURPHEY (“Gert”) Motto: “Seek ’til you find and you ll not lose labor.” “Twenty-seven cents, please.” Wouldn't you just know that the speaker is Gertrude Murphy, cashier in the lunch-room? Gertrude is one of the liveliest girls in our class. She has chosen a very good motto and always lives up to it. Gertrude is a hockey player of note, and when she takes time from studying, she indulges in the game of basketball. She is not able to choose between history and French as her favorite study but she excels in Miss Pendergast’s class. Gertrude plans to enter Normal School next fall and some day we’ll see her a school ma'am. 1925 Pawtucket High School 41 IT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lllllllllllli||iiiiiiiii|||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||lll||| l|llllll■IIIMilllMIIMillMlnllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lll■lll■||| llll l |■lll■WWIIHIWIIIMWillMI■ll —IIWIIIIIIIIMill—HUll■llll lll■llllllllllllllllllll■llllllllllllll■lllmllllil lll lll llll■i ROSE MURPHY Motto: “Praise the sea hut keep on land” GLEE CLUB (4), CLASS VICE-PRESIDENT (31, TRACK (4) Rose is another one of those demure little girls of our class, but Rose is just full of pep when you know her, and always ready for a good time. Rose says she is very fond of athletics and especially tennis. My, but she can swing that racquet like a second Helen Wills. She may be found almost any time surrounded by a group of Student Club girls, making plans for the coming meeting. Rose intends to be a school “marm” at some future date, when she will probably teach her pupils her favorite subject, French, along with the “qui for subject and que for object” theory. Next year she will enter Rhode Island College of Education. Here's to Rose with three hearty cheers for success! RAYMOND WILLIAAI MURRAY (“Red”) Motto: “You'll never know unless you try.” Aha! Here’s “Red,” known by young and old. big and little, to be the champion eraser thrower in the school. He started on this remarkable career the first day he entered high school and after a great deal of practice he now has the satisfaction of being the victor in any such battles that are staged. His greatest pleasure is to spend an evening stretched out in front of the fire reading Edgar Allen Poe’s wierd stories. Whew! Not for us, “Red”! We always said you were a highbrow. In spite of all this reading he manages to pull” good marks in all his subjects, especially his favorite, history. Red is undecided as to his next year’s plans, but whatever he does we know lie’ll succeed. MILTON ERIC NELSON (“Cutie,” “Milt”) Motto: ‘'Everything is jair in war (exams)” HONOR SOCIETY Milt” is one of the finest young men in our class. He is studious, bright (etc.), good-looking (?) and active. Wherever Cutie” is, it necessarily means activity. It does not matter what class it is as long as there is some opportunity for a little “fun.” In other words, he is the life of many a recitation hour. We seldom find boys who can be as studious and thoughtful as they are gay, and we have one of them in “Milt.” “Cutie” is very ambitious and athletic. His favorite pastime is engaging in sports. As a student, he likes mathematics about the best. “Milt” tells us that he intends to enter an architect’s office next year to start an apprenticeship. The class of ’25 wishes you the best of luck and success! LOUISE MARGARET A. NEUMANN (“Weha”) Motto: “If you can’t be good, be carejul. ’ Not too shy, not too for ward—just right! That’s our Louise all over. Were you ever fortunate enough to have Louise do a favor for you? Then surely you haven’t missed the good-natured, genial sparkle in her eyes. “Ask and it shall be granted” is one of “Weha’s” mottoes, and she certainly lives up to it as faithfully as to her other, It you can t Ire good, be careful.” As regards the motto, we know that Louise is both. But don't get the idea that she is a kill-jov, for Weha ’ is one of the best sports living, in P. H. S. or elsewhere. Shorthand is her favorite subject, and we know that she is going to succeed in her vocation, which will be working as “somebody’s stenog. Here s a toast to Louise: May others have the opportunity of enjoying her pleasant, entertaining company.

Her motto would better have been, “Brighten the corner where you are,” for she certainly has done that during her four years in P. H. S. She never failed to show up at all the school activities, and to cheer lustily for our team. She is one of those peppy, wide-awake girls, who is; hound to he the life of the party wherever she is. “Sally” is extremely fond of dancing, and is right on hand for all of P. H. S.’s social functions. Next year will find “Sally” with many of her friends at Normal School. We’ll surely miss her, hut we feel sure that she will be a great success in whatever site undertakes. The best of luck. “Sally.” FRANK ELLIS PAINE (“Frankie,” “Oscar”) Motto: “Play the game.” GLEE CLUB (4), HONOK SOCIETY Frank is another member of the famous crowd who imbibe the hectic atmosphere of Room 20. They certainly do have a good time over there. Their pet name for him is “Oscar”—and he’s simply crazy about it! But we’ll all agree that “Frankie” is one of the best-natured fellows we know. Every morning you’ll find him with the rest of his gang in the corner of the hall near Room 20, and they certainly keep Mr. Holden busy. Frank is fond of athletics, especially baseball and basketball, and is a member of that trusty organization, the Boys’ Glee Club. Frank has attained a high scholastic record here at P. H. S., and next year when he enters Brown, we know he will be just as successful. The class of ’25 wishes you the best of luck, Frank. ERNEST KIRKBY PEARSON Motto: “Perseverance [fins Success.” Ernest is one of those trusty classmates who is invariably seen rushing to and fro with notices. Many were the times when we have sat in our classes, hoping for this modern Mercury. But no such luck awaited us. You can tell by his motto that this boy is going to make a name for himself. Ernest is another one of those history “sharks,” and although he doesn’t have much to say, he does a lot. Ernest is undecided about his plans for next year but we w ish him the best of luck for whatever he attenmpts. GEORGE II. EASTWOOD PEARSON (“Georgie”) Motto: “Live and let live.” STAGE COMMITTEE “SEVEN CHANCES” (4) CLEE CLUB (4) Maybe you have not met George. If not, voila! When someone— not very tall, light-haired, clear, grinning blue eyes, otherwise serious appearing, walks up to you, and you are very favorably impressed, and you wonder how he’d look if he smiled, and then—of a sudden— he does, and you're absolutely stunned—well, that’s George! Somebody used to say, “Let George do it.” And believe me, this George can! His humor is probably due to his never-ending perusal of Mark Twain. Reading is his favorite pastime, and architectural drawing his favorite study. He is a member of the Glee Club, and no chorus is complete without his clear, ringing voice. George is going to follow up architectural lines in R. I. School of Design in the fall. You surely have, our dear George, the best wishes of the 25’s! niiiMiimnmnimiiimitnNlw raHimiiwiuwimiiiiiii 192o Paw ti cket Hicn School 43 iiinmimnimtMuiniiiiiniinHiimiimii iiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiinniwiuiiiiuinmiimiiiuiiii: RUTH L. HILDEGARDE PEARSON “Rufus,” “Ruthie”) Motto: “Perseverance and cheerfulness always uin.” Here is Ruth, one of our most popular classmates. One look at Ruth’s motto and you can see what a high goal she has set herself, but “Rufus” practises what she preaches,” and we know that her motto has already worked out. where she is concerned. Ruth tells us that her favorite pastime is music, but she does, however, do quite a bit of reading, and the tales of the West by Zane Grey are her favorites. For four years Ruth has studied diligently with the idea that she might some day lie a teacher. Next year she intends to continue her work in this line at the Rhode Island College of Education. We sincerely wish that she may have as great success there as she has had at P. H. S. ELSIE DOROTHY PERRIN ( Else”) Motto: If you are not what you would be. act as you would act if you were what you would be.” Elsie is another one of that charming group of young damsels that hail from a certain section of North Main Street. She may be seen any morning coming down to old P. H. S. from the great open spaces of Pleasant View, accompanied by another of her gang, “Dot” Roberts. Many a morning they come down in a Ford coupe. However, Elsie’s favorite recreation is playing “jazz” on the piano and dancing, too. Shorthand is Elsie’s big subject, although most anything is mastered by this charming little maiden. Next year Else” leaves to enter the business world, where she will become “somebody’s stenog.” May your future be bright and your success great. GUILFORD JOHN PERRY Motto: “Better late than never.” ORCHESTRA (4) And here’s Guilford, our second Paul Whiteman. He is ever present with his saxophone at our Parent-Teacher dances, during the orchestra practices and. in fact, anywhere that the P. II. S. syncopators go. Guilford is a good scholar, especially in chemistry where he carries off all of Mr. Wolfe’s .Vs. Although chemistry is his favorite study he gets along well in all his other classes. Joseph Lincoln is Perry’s favorite author and he may lie seen most any day about 8:27 with a volume of Lincoln under his arm rushing along Broadway bound for the portals of the high school. Next year Guilford enters Tufts College, and we know that he will end up with flying colors. CECILIA THERESA PULLAN (“Cee”) Motto: “Smile first, last, and all the time.’ Read the motto over again and you have as perfect a description of “Cee” as can Ire desired. Cecelia is one of those quiet girls who gets along so well with everybody. No fuss about this or that, just steady and systematic working. She has selected Dickens as her favorite author, and can practically recite his works backwards. Don t gather from this that Dickens is all she reads! Her favorite pastime is reading. The number of books she has read and the knowledge she has of them is something to be envied. Cecilia has aspirations as a teacher, and next year she will invade Normal School. In her, we’re sure they will find no mean student. The best wishes of the class of ’25 will always be with you, “Cee!” n Pawtucket High School 1925 ELIZABETH MARY QUINHAM Motto: “Let well enough alone” GLEE CLUB I 4 I. DRAMATICS (4), HONOR SOCIETY Enter the much envied blonde! More than one of us sits in class and Lazes yearningly at that mass of yellow hair. We also envy her brains, for Elizabeth is one of the shining stars of the class of 1925. To prove this fact we offer the amazing and convincing statement that algebra's her favorite study! Imagine actually liking algebra! There must he some reason, but if there is we are entirely in the dark, for Elizabeth never talks about it. Elizabeth and Florence are inseparable friends, and have proven quite a success in collaborating in their poetry w riting. Elizabeth enters Brown next year, where we are sure she w ill he heralded as the freshman prodigy. FRANCIS JOSEPH QUIRK (“Duke,” “Frank,” “Kirk.” “Eph Jay”) CLEANER (3) (4), FIRST PRIZE IN POSTER CONTESTS. “THE CHAMPION,” “DADDY LONG-LEGS,” RECORDANDA COVER DESIGN Motto: “It's Never Too Late!” First look at the cover design and then at his picture. Must “Duke” he further introduced? If he must be, take up any Gleaner and read the Iattler. Now turn to the Locals Department, which he helped to edit this year. Then top it off with a glance at some of his first prize posters. Some hoy, eh! Yes, he's the class Rembrandt or George Mac-Manus, as it may turn out. In fact. “Kirk paid his class dues with poster prize money. We know that he is justified in claiming theme writing as his favorite pastime, for his report tells us that. Teachers dread to correct his themes because they know that they must wound their conscience in giving him a meagre 5. They mourn for 6 s or 7’s. “Frank” intends to further cultivate his talent at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y. We'll see you in the funny papers. “Duke,” old hoy. ARAXE RAHANIAN (“Roxy”) Motto: “Do your duty in that station of life to which it shall please God to call you.” “Th is is station P. H. S. Hello everybody, this is Roxv. Yep, that's what wed have to have if we installed a broadcasting station here, because we have a Roxy too, only it’s a “she” instead of a “he.” We don t just know how she d sound over the radio hut if she were as good at broadcasting as doing her school work, slic’d be sure to make a success of it. Araxe is one of those quiet, industrious people who are always present when the teachers are giving out their best marks Her favorite pastime is reading Booth Tarkington. She really can’t pick out a “favorite study because she likes them all. Next year she plans to become a stenographer. The best of luck, “Roxy!” EARLE LEROY RANKIN (“Roy”) Motto: “On with the dance” HONOR SOCIETY, GLEE CLUB (4), SUPPER COMMITTEE ( 4 ) “Rov” is a modest chap who trails along Broadway every morning about 8:25. We all know him by his winning smile, his ever-present cheerfulness and his good scholarship. Since he became a master of the art of Terpsichore, “Roy” is a much sought for person at all our dances. At parties he is the life from beginning to end. He has reached the highest rung of the scholastic ladder, the Rhode Island Honor Society. In school, “Roy” takes to French, in which he is very efficient: but all his studies come in for their just dues. “Roy’s” next year's plans are still in the making, but whatever they are we know they will lie a success. The best wishes of all vour friends go with you, “Rov.” Pawtucket High School 45 iiiiiiiiiijuiimiiiuiiiiiMiiuiumiiiiuiiieiimiuMiiiwiimiimiiinHimiiimiiiitiiiimiiiiiimiiniHitmiiraiiimiiiaiiimii«iiiBiinui(Lmii.nnmiiiiinniiiimiiiiiiimniiiiiiiinim GRACE IRENE RAWLINSON (“Curly”) Motto: '‘Forget wrongs; remember kind deeds.” DRAMATICS (4), HONOR SOCIETY Curls, blue eyes, a rippling laugh—that’s the baby of the class of ’25. Isn’t she a dear, though? We’ll never forget that friendly little smile she always has; it’s as much a part of herself as the dimple in her chin. Grace is always sweet-tempered and happy, and you just can’t help feeling better when she’s around. Keep up the good work. Grace, for we find true happiness only in making others happy. “Curly” must find happiness in work, too, for she has finished high school at a younger age than most of us, and is still going strong. She’s a member of the Honor Society, too. Grace is going to R. I. C. E. next year. Won’t she make a fine little teacher! Best of luck. “Curly.” ELIZABETH VERONICA READ ( Bet,” “Lib”) Motto: “Promise Little, Do Much.” CLEE CLUB (4), TRACK (4) “Vivacious little Lib.” The young lady always has a nice little smile. “Lib” is a very busy young lady. She finds time for Glee Club and track work, dancing and reading, and once in a while a little studying. Don’t get the idea that she gets two pluses. She doesn't have to take studying seriously. It’s a gift. “Lib” is a fine French pupil and anywhere in France she could pass for a pretty little mademoiselle. She aspires to become a teacher and will attend the Rhode Island College of Education. 1925 LILLIAN FRANCES REID (“LiP’l Motto: “Promise little, but do much.” This is Lillian, one of the peppiest, jolliest members of the class of ’25. always ready to help in any circumstance. When there is a dance, a football game or a basketball game, Lillian is right there, and it’s a wonder to us how she manages her lessons so successfully. If you ever are puzzled about the twentieth king of England or the “Omnibus Bill” just ask Lillian, because she laughingly admits that history is her favorite subject—and we don’t wonder! For four years Lillian has been taking the Normal course, and next year she intends to enter the Rhode Island College of Education. We hope and know that she will be as successful there as she has been at P. H. S. DORIS EMILY ROBERTS (“Dot”) Motto: “Better late than never.” STACE COMMITTEE “SEVEN CHANCES” (4) SECRETARY DRAMATIC SOCIETY (4), CLEE CLUB (4), CHAIRMAN SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE (4), HONOR SOCIETY Behold! an ash blonde, with rosy cheeks, baby blue eyes, and adorable dimples. That’s our “Dot!” Have you ever seen her at a dance amid a group of ardent admirers, all waiting patiently for a dance? When it conies to “tripping the light fantastic,” “Dot” shines. We will always remember “Dot,” and her inseparable chum as the ever popular Duncan sisters! Someday we will probably see Dot beside the desk of some celebrity taking dictation, as her plans for next year will lead her either to Bryant and Stratton’s or Simmons College, where she will pursue secretarial work. “Dot” has always been a shining light in the scholastic standard in P. H. S., and we will expect great things from her in the near future. 1925 46 Pawtucket High School miinmiM1................................................................................... iiimhilhii WILLIAM THOMAS ROSS (“Bill,” “Red”I Motto: “Never say die.” A typical illustration of good humor, in spite of all the sayings about temper and other things that go with red hair! Never mind. “Red. ’ we’re only jealous because our own hair is such a common color. “Bill is one of the best natured Tellows in school or out. He never flares up when Mr. Kirshbaum tells him not to loiter in the corridor before school, which is an excellent example of his good nature. William is especially fond of woodwork, so we shall not he very surprised il we hear of him as a carpenter. He also evidently doesn’t mind driving a truck. Ross is going to join the ranks at Bryant and Stratton s next year, and there also he isn't going to let anyone “get his goat. MADELINE FRANCES RUDDLE (“Maddie”) Motto: Actions speak louder than words.” Did you ever see “Maddie” out walking with -------? You must have, but it’s doubtful if she saw you. You understand how it is, of course—two people who can’t see anybody but each other, dreamy eyes, with a far-away expression, and,—oh. well, I suppose we all do understand. To see Madeline’s bright smile you’d think there never was such a thing as care; the world must always look rosy to her. And she s the same good old “Maddie” all the time: happy, cheerful, readv for fun. and the best kind of a friend one could ever have. “Maddie s studying stenography, and she hopes to hold a stenographic position for a few years at least, hut—well, we won’t attempt to predict any more future events. The class wishes you the best of success in them, Madeline, whatever they may be. MARGARET MARIE SHANAGHAN (“Peggy”) Motto: “Step by step, one goes a long way.” Of course you know Margaret, the one of many accomplishments and virtues, plus plenty of mischief and pranks. Everybody knows her as the girl with a ready smile and a cheery word. And “Peggy isn t only a jollv pal. she is a plodder, as you can see by her motto. She is working hard and looking forward to a successful business career. Some time, not very far in the future, we’ll be hearing that Margaret is holding down a position as private secretary to some well-known business man. “Peggy” loves music, too, and much of her spare time is spent at the piano. She can play mighty fine jazz. too. Here’s the best of luck, “Peggy,” and may you always have the same fine spirit that has carried you through school. EMILY MAE SHELLENBERGER (“Emy,” “Em”) Motto: “A word bejore is worth two behind.” Sometimes the most interesting people are those who try to hide their talents in a mask of quiet studiousness. “Emy” is one of this type, but it is quite impossible for her to “hide her light beneath a bushel basket, because her loyal friends won’t allow it. As is often the case with these quiet people, “Emy” delights in a good book, but it must he a good hook to satisfy her taste. Perhaps it is this taste for reading that leads “Emy” to enjoy English so much. At any rate we know that she does enjoy it. Next fall she intends to enter Rhode Island College of Education. 1925 iiiiiiiimiiiihiiiiiiiiidiiii mi 11 mi m rn i jtiwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiililiiiliiiiiiiuiiiiiilllMmi.liimui mt i Pawtucket High School iinuiiMinmiiiiiiiiiuiiinimjmimiiimiimiimiiiiMiimiiiimiiiiiiiRiiiiiiiiiiminiiiiniiMiiiaiiiMiiiiiiiiuiiiuiiii EVELYN JUNE SHOLOVITZ (“Eve,” “Zaza”) Motto: “Carpe diem.” PROPERTY COMMITTEE “SEVEN CHANCES” (4) Well, look who’s here! The young lady who sits in 21-C, favoring the boys and girls in the corridor with pleasant glances from her dark brown vivacious eyes. We all know that Evelyn is a real pal, and her hearty laughter can be heard throughout the corridor between classes. “Eve” can hardly stand still when she hears the jazz hand playing, and all the boys know that she is a lively stepper. Tennis is her favorite summer sport, and whenever she finds time to lounge she always carries with her a box of Whitman’s candy and one of Mrs. Lutz’s exciting stories. Zaza” has captivated the hearts of many of the P. 11. S. boys as well as outsiders. She intends to enter Rhode Island College of Education in the fall, and we certainly envy her future pupils. GEORGE EDWARD SIMPSON (“Sirnmie”) Motto: “Take all the time you need, but hurry up.” And here's our old friend in the Ford sedan, “Sirnmie” himself, the hero of the Proctor A. C. George is one of those fellows who gets his education in school and his enjoyment outside. Aside from throwing erasers and chewing gum occasionally. “Sirnmie” has no had traits. His favorite study is history, although he rakes in good marks in all subjects. George will probably enter Bryant and Stratton’s in the fall and a prosperous business career is anticipated by all his friends. HOPE IRWIN SMALL (“Hope I”) Motto: “Laugh and live” DRAMATICS (4), GLEE CLUB (4), GLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4 I, SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE (4), HONOR SOCIETY Did you ever see that rather short, bobhed-haired girl that sits in room 21-C always with an armful of books? Of course you know whom we mean. There isn't anyone who carries so many books at the same time as does “Hope I.” But never mind. Hope, you get there just the same, don't you? When she is not preparing her next day’s lessons she can he found reading a novel by Temple Bailey. Hope just raves about camping, for that is the most important of her favorite pastimes, but swimming and dancing are close seconds. Next year. Brow n is going to receive one of our most industrious girls, where there is no doubt that she will make good. CHARLOTTE HAYES SMITH (“Charlotte”) Motto: 4Nothing ventured, nothing gained” Time: Anytime before school. Place: Room 21-C. “Oh. Charlotte! How do you translate this last line?” “What did you get for the fifth example?” “What does quoniani mean?” Who can this source of wisdom be. we wonder? Why, it’s Charlotte, of course. She is that quiet, dark-eyed girl whose good-looking clothes are the despair of us all. She is the young miss who speaks nonchalantly of St. Moritz, the Riviera, and Deauville. Charlotte’s favorite pastime is driving, she savs. and any day you may see her speeding through the city. Next vear Charlotte intends to go to New Rochelle College, and we are sure that she will live up to her fine reputation which she has established at P. H. S. 48 Pawtucket Hich School 1925 HENRY SOLOMON (“King ) Motlo: “Please yourself, please others, and do as you please ” GLEE CLUB (4), HONOR SOCIETY What ho! Behold! King Solomon himself, or in other words, Henry. Of course it isn’t quite proper for us to call such a distinguished per-sonnage by his first name, but then Henry is a pretty democratic sort of king. Perhaps you’re not intimately acquainted with Henry, but take a tip from us, he’s quite a boy with his books and he gets a report card every quarter that certainly is “fit for a king.” Henry has been pretty busy getting 5’s for the last four years, but still he has had time to lend his impressive voice to the Boys’ Glee Club. He likes to translate Latin about as well as anything, but he manages to read one of Zane Grey’s lively novels every now and then. He expects to enter Brown next September. We know that he will be an honor to P. H. S. DOROTHY WHIPPLE STRACHAN (“Dot”) Motto: “Laugh and grow fat!” BASKETBALL (4), HONOR SOCIETY Any dav that there is basketball practice you may be sure to find “Dot” in the “gym.” She’s always in the thick of the tussel where basketball is concerned. Don’t think that basketball is the only thing “Dot” does, though, for she can swim, dance and talk with quite as much zest. “Dot” frankly admits that talking is her “favorite pastime.” When it comes to math, “Dot” just eclipses everyone, and we stand by in enviable silence—wondering how she does it. Next year “Dot” is going into Brown, and we know both from her records as a student and her popularity that she will go through her college course with flying colors. MARTHA ELIZABETH TAYLOR Motto: “He good and you'll he happy but you'll miss a lot of fun.” HONOR SOCIETY Martha is that lively girl who can usually be seen in or about room 21-C. Where would the senior class be without Martha? Wherever she is, she is sure to be the life of the party, with her sparkling eyes and gay laughter. Although Martha likes to have a good time she also likes to studv, as her scholastic standing shows. Her favorite pastime is dancing. We could have easily guessed that, for no one so full of life and fond of a good time could help being an enthusiastic dancer. Next year Martha intends to use her store of knowledge doing office work. Wherever you are, Martha, we know you won’t forget the class of 1925. WALTER GRENVILLE TIBBITTS Motto: “He that pays fast, never pays twice.” BASEBALL (4), CLEE CLUB (4) Everybody knows Walter with his cheerful grin and lively manner. He is always full of pep, and ready for a good time, with a iot of new jokes and wise remarks. No matter where he goes he is always the life of the party. And how he can dance. He holds a prominent place in the Glee Club, and made a successful end man in our minstrel show. Walter is fond of sports—especially baseball—and is right there at all our games. He’s not keen on studying, but somehow always gets good marks, and declares he likes English best. Next year Walter intends to enter Brown University, and the class of ’25 wishes him the best of luck and success. 1925 Pawtucket High School 19 ELIZABETH KATHERINE TIERNEY (“Bessie”) Motto: “Always in haste, but never in a hurry.” A gale of laughter, a rusli of footsteps, mingled with chattering, gay voices—oh. don’t get excited, it’s only Bessie Tierney and her inseparable “Peggy.” Bessie” is just full of pep and good spirits, and she’s always on the go—a dance, or a movie, or a party; and between them all she keeps up with her studies! She certainly gets life’s full measure of work and play. But, although Bessie” is such a busy person, she always has a pleasant word for everybody, and she radiates good cheer and happiness wherever she goes. “Bessie” is going in to Brown University next year, so here’s our wish for a successful college career. CHARLES BARTLETT TUCKER ( Charlie,” Tuck”) Motto: “Fool one—fool all—but don’t fool yourself! ’ DRAMATICS (4), CLEF. CLUB (4), STACE MANAGER “DADDY LONG-LEGS” (4) “Charlie’s” jovial smile and hearty laugh have won many friends for him. He is an ardent supporter of practically everything in the high school life. He has especially shown his talent in dramatics this year, and it is popular opinion that he ought to go into the profession. “Charlie” knows how to be useful, too, and as stage manager of “Daddy Long-Legs” proved to he a most efficient person. Once in a while “Charlie” does stop laughing long enough to do some studying, as his math and chemistry marks show. Next year “Charlie” goes to R. I. State College, where his good sportmanship and good nature will win many new friends for him. NELLIE ANITA TURICK Our Nell” Motto: “Semper Parata.” GLEE CLUB (4), DRAMATICS (4) Nellie is the kind of girl the class may well be proud of. She throws her heart and soul into her work, and takes a great interest in her studies, which is more than a number of us do. Nellie likes typewriting and shorthand best, and she intends either to study secretarial work or music. She belongs to the Glee Club, and, if she decides on a musical ”areer, she’s sure to make a success of it. Nellie is an all-around good sport, for, besides keeping up with her studies and music, she loves outdoor sports, such as hiking and tennis. Nellie is always brimming over with good spirits. She is the best of company, and tackles everything, work or play, with a zest which is sure to bring her success. LOUISE MARY VANASSE ( Billie”) Motto: “It pays to smile.” “Billie,” as her friends call her, is one of the smallest members of our class. One would never suspect that this petite, bobbed-hair miss was a senior. All the teachers think she’s a freshie, hut we’re told confidentially that she has been wending her way across Exchange Street Bridge for four long years. Billie’s” favorite study is Spanish, but her ability as a stenographer has been recognized, and we remember her as the demure little Red Cross nurse on Freak Day. Next year Billie” intends to enlist as “somebody’s stenog,” and we wish her all success. Good luck, Billie! iraiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiu!iiiiiiimiiiMiiii,mii:iii!iiimmiiit!iiiiiiiimiiMiiwiMiiiMiiiM'Mi!imii:ii(iii !iimiiuiiiiiimK 50 Pawtucket Hicii School 1025 ELLA MAY YASLET (“Blondy,” Shorty”) Motto: “Trust in God and do the right” Ella is naturally reserved, but she stands as a specific example of “Still water runs deep.’ She appreciates—and originates—many a good joke, and wears one of those contagious smiles that serve to brighten things under any circumstances. To see Ella alone is very unusual. She is to he found in the center of a group of close friends, and. though she certainly has good marks, she always seems to have plenty of time to enjoy life and to make it enjoyable for others. She excels in French, which she speaks with an ease acquired only by hard study. Perhaps her love for music and singing helped her to get the beautiful pronunciation that we all envy so much. IT I. College of Education will claim Ella soon, but she will always remember old P. H. S. and the many friends she has here. Here’s to a happy future for you, Ella! CHARLES JOSEPH YASLET (“Chick”) Motto: “Never do more than necessary.” SWIMMING (4) “Chick” came to us during our Sophomore year, and has l een stepping along with the rest of the class ever since. In school, he s quiet and shy, but at a social whirl he’s the life of the party. “Chick s quite an athlete, taking part in football, basketball and swimming. Swimming is his forte he being Pawtucket’s mainstay in the breast-stroke. His favorite studv is mathematics and he is the star of Mr. Rattles fifth period class. “Chick’s” one recreation is reading and one is always sure to find him reading the works of Jeffrey Farnol or some other author. “Chick is another of the faithful followers of the school activities, and one is always able to find him at the dances and plays. “Chick plans to enter Yale in the fall, and the Class of ‘25 wishes him the best of luck. ADA CATHERINE WADSWORTH (“Ada”) Motto: “Ain ays in a haste, hut never in a hurry” “Always in haste, but never in a hurry” is sort of a peculiar state to be in. Rut then, if you know' Ada, you will agree that she has just about the right motto to suit herself. If she has any work to do. she is always in a hurry to get it done, but she is never too busy to stop and chat with her friends, or spend an afternoon at the movies. If you talk with Ada for five minutes, you can’t help laughing at some of her rather drv humor that is sure to spring up during the conversation. Ada is fond of all her studies, but likes shorthand in particular. Her favorite pastimes are dancing and swimming. She is undecided about next year, but she carries our best wishes for success in any work that she undertakes. JANET MARY WADSWORTH Motto: Life, love and laughter, that's all I'm after.' DRAMATICS (4) Janet came to P. H. S. from Nathanael Greene School, and ever since she has ! een making a name for herself in the Normal course. Best of all. Janet claims, she likes French, and well she may, for we can tell by her marks that she excels in that study. When Janet was an orphan of the John Grier Home in “Daddy-Long-Legs, we found out that Janet also likes the stage, and she certainly made an attractive orphan despite her blue checked gingham. There is nothing that Janet likes better than to sit down and read a good book, and she is quite able to discuss our present-day authors. Next year she plans to go to the Rhode Island College of Education. We wish you the greatest success, Janet. wuttmiimiii iimiiiiinmiuiiiiaiittiiuiiimiiiiiMiiimuiKtiaiuiaiiuutitumniimuuiMUmtttauiHuiinmt.uiuuii.t.iniijnii uuKii MituimiiiwMiimiiinuiinmuucmiintmiMimmuuiwmmumimminimmummmiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiMiiuiiiuittiiuiMuiiiiniiHiiiuniMuuiMiuaiua 1925 Pawtucket High School 51 ......................................................iiiiMinmi iiiiiiiiimiiniiuMiiiiuiMiiwiliiiiitiiitm'iimiiiaiiimiiiu ISRAEL WILLIAM WEINSTEIN (“Izzie,” “Sheinie”) Motto: “Never look a gijt horse in the mouth.” DRAMATICS (4), GLEE CLUB (41 No one seems to know whose Izzy “Izzy” is. On the other hand, he’s everyone’s “Izzy”—that is, everyone who knows him—for he is really a “friend in need.” A model companion, endowed with an intense sense of humor, and topped off with unusually striking features—and there you have “Izzy! He has found time to put some pep into the orchestra with his fiddle, and he surely swings a mean bow. He is of dramatic nature, and his renditions of popular (?) Jewish melodies and other things never fail to draw lengthy applause. “Izzy” turned out Freak Day dressed as a Spanish senorita. and not a few wondered who the good-looking girl was. “Izzy” is a great student of rhetoric. He is a regular sheik with the girls, especially with F—. His course next year will bring him to R. I. State, and we are sure to hear good things of him soon. ALBERT HENRY WHEELER (“Al”) Motto: “Try anything once” STAGE COMMITTEE “SEVEN CHANCES” (4) Of course you know “Al!” Everyone does. “Al” is very versatile in his tastes and talents. His favorite study is English, and we happen to know that he can quote Shakespeare (acting it. as well) very fluently. “Al” doesn't have to quote others, though. He is the author of a great many clever poems, but he is rather shy about having them read by others. “Al ’ is undecided about what he will do next year. He expects to enter college, but as yet he hasn’t decided which college he prefers. To express it in a few words. “Al” is a poet, an actor, a great reader, a very good dancer, and an all-around good sport. JESSIE ELIZABETH WHITELEY (“Beth”) Motto: “Tout bien qui ft nit bien.” DRAMATICS (4), GLEE CLUB (4) “Beth is one of the finest members of our class—modest, studious, earnest, and likable. Who has not seen her smiling face as she goes along the corridors to her recitations? It matters not when we see her, she is always laughing or smiling at someone’s “wise-cracks.” That’s very good policy, “Beth”—sometimes. “Beth” is the life of many an otherwise dull group of girls. We understand that she likes French, and has picked that as her favorite subject. One would think so if he could see her earnestly translating Les Oberlc during the English study period. Evidently, “Beth enjoys reading, for sin tells us that Gene Stratton Porter is her favorite author. She is planning for R. I. C. E. next year. May we take that as it stands, “Beth?” At any rate, the l est wishes of the class of ’25 will follow you wherever you go. ALICE MARIE WHOLEY (“Al”) Motto: “Always aim at a sure end.” GLEE CLUB (4), ORCHESTRA (I) That petite young miss who sits in Room 2I-C is “AI. You must know her, for “APs” fame in history is widely known. When Miss Osborn despairs of our terrible recitations, she always turns to “AT for consolation, for it is this peppy classmate who is sure to be there with the right answer. But studying is not the only thing which claims this busy young person. “APs” voice may be heard every Monday afternoon and at special Glee Club concerts caroling away with her chum “Winnie.” Next year R. I. C. E. will claim “Al,” and in a few years she will probably be having her pupils give the Missouri Compromise. Good luck. “Al!” 52 Pawtucket High School 1925 ............................................................................................ KENNETH FRANCIS WICKS (“Kenny”) Motto: “IJo as well as you can. then do better.” DEBATING (4), TREASURER RADIO CLUB (3), VICE-PRESIDENT RADIO CLUB (4), ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER CLEANER (3), LEAGUE DELEGATE (4), HONOR SOCIETY, CHEMISTRY TEAM (4) “The square root of (524381 )7?” “Why, that’s simple!” says a familiar voice. Good heavens! Who is that algebra shark? Oh, yes, it’s “Kenny.” For the boy has won fame for his ability to solve graphs, quadratics, imaginaries and other mathematical pass-words. Next year Kenny invades Harvard, and we know that he will continue with the same line record he has established at P. H. S., and walk off with a Phi Bete key first thing. DORIS LILLIAN WILBER (“Puss”) Motto “Now or never.” Doris is classed among the Ires petite of our class. But you know what they say, Doris, “Best things come in small packages,” and we all certainly agree with this proverb. She spends her spare moments reading the latest novel, as she says this is her favorite pastime. For four years she has striven to attain high scholastic standing in the commercial line. Considering all her subjects, she says she prefers shorthand to them all. Next year will find Doris at Bryant and Stratton, where she will prepare to enter the business world. Good luck, Doris! WINIFRED CLAER WILLIAMS (“Win,” “W innie”) Motto: “! ever trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.” CLEE CLUB (4) To judge by this motto, here is a cheerful soul. A personality full of “pep. with a mind keen to appreciate the wit of Carolyn Wells, who is her favorite author. W;e hear that “Winnie” shakes a wicked ankle, and would rather dance than eat. Of course we are no judge of hats, but, as millinery is her favorite study, we suppose that her hats are the last word in style. We know they are very becoming. The Rhode Island College of Education will claim her vivacity for the next few years. HELEN MILDRED WILSON (“Helen”) Motto: “Nothing's inipossible.” Do you know Helen? Of course you do. She’s that good-natured girl who uses her mathematical talents every day in adding up the cost of our lunch. Helen’s a good sport through and through, and can take a good joke at any time, even though it might be on herself. She is another of the quiet damsels in our class, but we understand that she studies a good deal, so that probably accounts for it. She is one of the very few who can get up and astound the French class with her fluency of translation. Helen is undecided between Brown and Rhode Island College of Education, but we know that, whichever she chooses, she will continue with the high record that she has established at P. H. S. iaunmi.: u . I. . ........................ 1925 Pawtucket High School 53 ELSIE MAY W OLSTENCROFT (“Elsie,” “L. C ”) Motto: “Non nobis solum STAGE COMMITTEE “SEVEN CHANCES99 (4) We think that if a vote should be taken. Elsie's motto would be voted one of the most fitting in the class. She is the type of girl that one likes to call friend, for she is a friend, always ready to help you to the best of her ability. She is always the one to whom you know that you can turn and be sure of help, for she is among our best students, and has the power as well as the will to help. Elsie “adores” history, and hopes some day to have visited most of the places that she is so interested in studying about now. She certainly has made a good start toward her goal! Next year will see Elsie either at Brown or Simmons. EMORY WARREN WORTHINGTON (“Em”) Motto: “What others have done. I can do sometimes9.99 HOCKEY (4), GLEE CLUB (4), SECRETARY RADIO CLUB (4) Emory is one of those fellows you see with diagrams, hook-ups, etc.; in other words, he is one of the class radio hounds. He has been a mainstay of the hockey team, as well as a fast stepper on the ballroom floor. As secretary of the radio club, he helped make the year the biggest one in the history of the organization. It would not surprise us at all twenty years hence to find Emory and his side-kick. Livingstone, incorporated together as the W. L. Radio Co. Emory is uncertain just what he will do, but hopes to send his baggage to R. I. State College next fall. THOMAS KENNETH WRIGHT (“Tom,” “Kennie”) Motto: “Where there's a will, there's always a way. MANAGER SWIMMING (4), DEBATING (2) (3) (4), TREASURER LYCEUM (3) (4), TREASURER DRAMATIC SOCIETY (4), DRAMATICS (3) (4), VICE-PRESIDENT SCIENCE CLUB (4) Rumor says “Ken's” a woman-hater, but we don't believe it; the facts prove different. Even if he is. the girls don't mind a little thing like that when the man in the case is as attractive as “Kennie.” ‘‘Where there’s a will, there’s always a way” is what “Ken” thinks as he plunges into everything, from dramatics to debating, and plugs along until his object is attained. Whether it’s a play, a debate, or some form of sport, he attacks it with the same grim determination and strength of will. Where he finds the time and effort to accomplish all that he does, we don’t know. But he does it. and does it admirably and cheerfully. “Ken” will tag his baggage “Tufts College” next fall, where we know he will amount to more than an “also ran.” EVELINE WRIGHT (“Eve”) Motto: “Grin and bear it The shining light of Room 21-C? Right in the corner by the window, we discover on looking into the room. Although there is no quarantine sign posted in the doorway, beware of contagion, for we cannot help but smile when “Eve” does. We are inclined to wonder if she ever worries. W hile she is not Swiss, we have known since Freak Day that Eveline makes an adorable little maid from Switzerland. Just by looking at “Eve,” one could almost tell that her favorite pastime is dancing. Her favorite class, she says, is stenography. We wonder which she likes better—the study or the teacher; but then, one is hardly complete without the other. Next year she intends to enter business college, where. l esides studying, she is going to keep right on grinning. 54 Pawtucket High School 1925 itwiniiiiuiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiuiiiiiiiiimiiinimr.iiiMiiuiiiiiiumiiiiuHMiiiuiiiiitMiiNiUiimniiiffliimMminiiiiiMiimiiiMiiaum CLASS HISTORY i FRESHMAN YEAR - K bright morning in September, 1921, a number of grammar school graduates were admitted to the Church Hill Annex of the Pawtucket High School, and became a class, the famous Class of 1925. It was that year that the Church Hill Grammar School became the High School Annex, and we were the first Freshman Class to be housed there, with Mr. Huff as our principal. This was an advantage because it gave us a better chance of becoming acquainted with each other, without undergoing the criticism of the very sophisticated upper-classmen. In that year, also, the daily session was lengthened until two o’clock. Pawtucket celebrated its 250th anniversary on October 10, 11, and 12 of our Freshman year, and the high school was represented by two floats in the parade, one representing the classical department, the other, the commercial department. During that winter the Parent-Teacher Association was formed. Our Christmas celebration was held in the Samuel Slater Grammar School. The pupils assembled in the hall of the school and an entertainment by our talented classmates was enjoyed. On April 11. 1922, the school was dismayed by the news of the death of Mr. Frank Ormond Draper, who had been the Superintendent of Schools for sixteen years. The vacancy caused by his death was filled by Mr. William A. Newell, who for many years held a position as Supervisor of Drawing in our schools. That year the Girls’ Athletic Association was also organized and several girls’ athletic teams were formed. Our Freshman year ended with the anticipation of attending the Broadway building as Sophomores. SOPHOMORE YEAR At last we were Sophomores and were privileged to attend the Broadway building. Many changes had taken place, for our former Principal, Mr. Elmer S. Hosmer, had resigned to take the position of Professor of Music at the Rhode Island College of Education. Mr. Lucius A. Whipple, Superintendent of the State Home and School, who had formerly been a teacher of mathematics at P. H. S., had taken the position of principal of the high school. Changes had been made in the building itself, for many of the classrooms had been divided in two. in order to make room for the increased number of pupils. The hall was also very small and it was impossible for the whole school to meet there at once. A number of short trial debates were held between the classes during the year. These were attended with interest, perhaps because the girls took part for the first time and also because the debates were held during school hours. The Dramatic Society held their plays at the James C. Potter School as the school hall was too small. The plays were presented successfully and showed great ability on the part of the players. Basketball was started as a regular school sport soon after the close of the football season. The team was very successful, and the sport has continued with many of our classmates as its stars. The Parent-Teacher Association held its first “Round-Up” in the Y. M. C. A. this year. The regular minstrel show was included with other school talent, and the money which was raised was used to buy sweaters and medals at the end of the year. One of the great events of the year was when the Seniors revived the old Freak Day of former days. The Juniors went into mourning for them on the following day, while the little Sophs 1925 55 iiiiuuiniiiuuiMiiiiiiHniuiiiiiimuiiiiiuiinuiiiiuuimiimiMuumiiiMiiiiiuiiiuiiiiiiiMiMiuiiiiwuuiMuiiiiiniimiiiMiiiuiiiiiniiimiuiiiiiiiiiiHuitiMmiiraiiiiiiiiiiiiimuiiuiiiiiiiiniiimiiiHiiiiuiiHiiiiw Pawtucket Hicii School iiiuiiimiiiiHtiaiiimiiniiiiraiimiiiiininiiiimiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiniiniimiiiiiiiiiMiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiNiiiiiiiiiiiuimiiiiiiiiimiiiniiiHiiiHiiiiiHiiiHiiwiiiiiiiiiuiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiinuiiwiiM looked on with mingled feelings of awe, admiration, and joy. and longed for the time when their turn should come. Our Sophomore year ended with the election of class officers for the following year. JUNIOR YEAR Our Junior year was also happy and successful. When we came back in the fall, the building had heen completely altered, and although we had no library or hall, we had a new lunchroom and many other improvements. In November, the Shenandoah, the largest dirigible in the world, passed over Pawtucket on its flight from New York to Boston. School was dismissed for several minutes so that everyone might see it. A Mathematics Club was organized, and several successful meetings were held. In our annual basketball series with Central Falls High School, Pawtucket won and thus became the proud possessor of the Frank Martin trophy for that year. The girls’ team also won in the series with the girls of Central Falls. Our Junior Prom had all the success that was prophesied for it and was a credit to the committee who had worked so hard. The Dramatic Society, under the able supervision of Miss Flora Curtis, presented two very fine productions in the James C. Potter School. At the second play of the year, “Honor Bright, Mrs. Wood, the president of the Parent-Teacher Association, presented twenty-nine members of the Senior class with Rhode Island Honor Society pins, a reward for their excellent work. The annual Freak Day was held January 24, by the Seniors, and we, as Juniors, appeared in mourning for them on the following day. The Parent-Teacher Association held its second annual Round-l p in the school auditorium. It was held two nights. The first night was given over to a one-act play by the public speaking class, and other forms of entertainment, and the second night was devoted to the minstrel, which was followed by dancing in the gymnasium. The Senior play was held in May in the auditorium and w'as a great success. Looking forward to the time when we would be Seniors, and planning for the great work ahead of us, we elected our Senior class officers. SENIOR YEAR At last we had attained the desired goal— Seniors, the class to be looked up to by all the under-classmen. The improvements which had been begun in our Junior year were now completed, giving us one of the most modern of school buildings. The lunchroom was renovated and long tables had been installed with stools so that everyone could lie accommodated. The service was cafeteria style, which abolished confusion of any sort. The auditorium could be used for Dramatic Society plays, and the gymnasium for other events of the school year. A new period system was also installed. The daily session was lengthened until three o’clock. This allowed one-hour periods, one-half of which was for recitation, and the remaining half-hour was a supervised study period. This gave the pupils a chance to ask help from the teacher during schools hours and to partially prepare their lessons for the following day. The pupils were given the opportunity to look up outside work in our new library, another great improvement. The Parent-Teacher Association held dances every month in the gymnasium for the students and their parents. These dances were enjoyed by everyone and were looked forward to by the student body. Under the supervision of Mr. Albert L. Ladd and M iss Miriam Hosmer, a Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Club were formed. The Girls’ Glee Club sang at the R. I. Institute of Instruction which was held in Classical High School. Providence. Both Glee Clubs sang at events held in school. The greatest of all Freak Days w-as enjoyed January 29, by our class. Both the teachers and Mr. Whipple co-operated with the class and made the day one of great joy and merriment— a day never to be forgotten by the Class of ’25. It is interesting to note that, notwithstanding the fact that it was a day of frolic, practically as much work was done as on any regular day.

The two plays presented by the Dramatic Society during the year were The Champion” and Daddy Long-Legs.” They were both very successful and many of our classmates took prominent parts. Class socials were held in the gymnasium in the afternoon, where dancing was enjoyed by the members of each class. The Seniors were the first to he given this privilege, and the other classes had their socials during the following weeks. The games between the class basketball teams were also held in the “gym” where they could he witnessed by other members of the school. All those who were on the Honor Roll for the second and third terms of the year were allowed to leave school at two-thirtv on account of their good standing in their studies. This was very much appreciated by those benefited, as it gave them a chance to make appointments for the afternoon. It probably makes the pupils work harder, also. At the third annual Round-Up given by the Parent-Teacher Association, thirty-nine pupils of the Senior Class were presented with Rhode 1925 uiiiaii«tiMinuMiiiiiiiHiiinHiimiiiaiiMiiiiiuiiniii Island Honor Society pins, the largest number to be given this honor. The proceeds from the Round-Up were used as formerly to buy Honor pins, sweaters, letters, etc., for those who had earned them. The Senior play was presented two nights. May 21 and 22. At the play on the second night two honorary scholarships were awarded by the Dramatic Society, for which purpose the proceeds of the first night’s performance were used. The Gleaner board held its annual party the first of June. Graduation exercises were held in the auditorium of the James C. Potter School on Wednesday evening, June 17. I he class banquet took place in our gymnasium and the Senior reception was successfully held in Pavne Hall. Thus ended our Senior year, along with four happy, all-too-short years at P. H. S. We shall surely never forget the teachings and the pleasures which we enjoyed in that dear old building, and when we are busy with the affairs of the world we shall look back and recall the happy days spent there. Ethel Clear. Doris Lldcate. 1925 Pawtucket High School ICI I'Kfc PROPHECY I - i i- I'mWIMIIMIIMtlMtlMtaMMNI 57 nilintlUUHIMIlHIlUIJIMlimiM [ the sun passed into a state of eclipse jgppt on February 29. 1935, we, the prophets of the class of 1925, having made the necessary preparations, repaired to the roof of the High School building and there, under the direction of Mr. Herbert Wolfe, gazed through a most powerful telescope, far out into space. There around the edge of the corona of the sun wre saw as we gazed something like Egyptian writings. A camera was quickly turned upon the sun by Mr. Wolfe, and several pictures w'ere taken. For one brief moment just as the corona was at its brightest, your prophets were able to discern with the naked eve at the lowest part—just a two, then a five. “Twenty-five,” they gasped simultaneously. Verily the eclipse was sent so that we would know that our class was some way connected with the mysterious beyond. Wrapped in linen and purple velvet, this precious negative was carried to the great science department of Yale, headed by Professor William Foley, aided by his capable assistants. Fred Binford, John De Courcey and Leo Marshall. Professor Foley was unable to develop the negative due to some unknown chemical which he was not able to procure. Owing to this hindrance he advised us to seek scientific aid at Paris. W'hile leaving the chemistry building we were encountered by our old friend, Larry Gemein-hardt, professor of German, who had just published a book, “My Only Rival—-Valentino.” We asked to be remembered to his wife. Doris Roberts Gemeinhardt. and then, bidding him fare-well, we hastened on to a waiting taxicab which yvas driven by Clayton Jones. Rushing down the street at a breakneck speed, we collided with a fruit cart. We alighted to find out the cause of disturbance and found Batestino Zonfrillo lamenting the loss of his fruit and damaged fruit cart. In spite of our protest that our steamer was due to leave in an hour, an officer, whom we recognized as Harold Gildea, persisted in holding us as witnesses and we were escorted to the police station. We appeared before Judge Tucker with Attorney Robert Monahan to plead our case. After leaving the station ive continued on our way and arrived at the steamer just in time to run up the gangplank. Whom should we run into but a party of young ladies, consisting of Marguerite Hunt, Edith Alexander, Germaine Lus-sier. and Esther Collins, who had just bid a fond adieu to Vera Matteson and Philip Maker, who were leaving for their honeymoon in the foreign countries. Wishing to safeguard our valuable negative, we directed our steps to the captain’s quarters, yvhere, much to our surprise, yve found Skipper Dodge was in charge. After giving our negative into Skipper’s charge and telling her of its mysterious value, yve strolled along the deck to find our steamer chairs. Seated next to us were Donald Jeffrey and Jean Champoux, who were going to the great hospitals of London to get a finer knowledge of dentistry. At dinner yve found that our waitress yvas Catherine Gaynor. That evening yve were present at a fine entertainment given by the passengers on board. Anna Lomas and Lillian Hogan both entertained by old-fashioned songs. Later Anna introduced us to her husband, Stewart Cushman, yvho yvas on his way to take up his duties as ambassador to France. Mr. Cushman said he was to meet several financiers in Paris; namely. Raymond Henderson, Wilson Evans, and Russell Barlow. The next morning, owing to an attack of illness, yve were surprised to find ourselves under the capable attention of the inseparable chums, Peggy Erskine and Bessie Tierney. The second day on board the ship we listened to a concert by the ship’s orchestra, headed by Winston McKay. Eugene Korlacki and Guilford Perry dreyv much applause for their fine solos. After a few more days of fine passage we docked at Liverpool where yve encountered George Simpson and Andrew Casey, who were 58 Pawtucket High School 1925 now engaged in (lie diamond industry and were greatly enraptured over the success of selling a diamond tiara to Queen Mary. They presented us each with a diamond ring and then rushed on. Wishing to remember our gay Pawtucket friends we stopped at a quaint curio shop owned by Hope Small and Dorothy Hunt. After making a few purchases we hurried out just in time to meet Almon MacManus and his wife, Virginia Haymon, who were conducting a private school in Liverpool. Mr. MacManus directed us to a first class hotel run by Ralph Milligan and Clarence Graham. Wishing to reach Paris as soon as possible in order to have our queer picture developed we crossed the channel by aeroplane. Our pilot, Mr. Israel Kretman, assured us that there was no danger in this mode of traveling. Hurrying to the address that Mr. Foley had given us. we were informed that the head chemist would be out of the city for a week. Although we were a little disheartened by this news, we decided to spend our week in “doing” Paris. As all good (? I Americans do. we first visited a large church in which Wilfred Heywood was the organist. While there, we listened to a fine sermon by the noted Reverend Kenneth W icks. We then boarded a tourist sight-seeing bus and found that Delphis Dupuis was to be our guide. After pleasantly spending our afternoon in seeing the important places of interest, we decided to “take in” a show. Much to our surprise and pleasure we found that “All Pawtucket Night” was billed in one of the leading theatres. Although we were a trifle late, we were able to procure good seats and settled back to enjoy an evening’s entertainment furnished by some of our classmates. The first act provided many thrills, being an Apache dance interpreted by Frances Barry and Theodore Domina. This drew forth many encores and started the show off with a bang. The next sketch was entitled, “The Original Mutt and Jeff,” Tanner McGarrigle admirably taking the part of Mutt and Edward Long that of Jeff. Jimmie Dow next appeared in a Scottish skit and also sang several Scottish songs. The final act was an interpretation of “Romeo and Juliet” by Francis Quirk and Van-nina Frova. The next day was spent in viewing two Ameri- can baseball teams who were on an exhibition tour. Chet Caulfield and John Davis were the opposing pitchers. The score was tied 15-15 in the third inning when Cliff Edwards hit a home run. The following afternoon we attended a conference of the United League of Women Voters over which Rose Murphy presided. Here we listened to spirited speeches by Margaret McCabe, Lillian Dow and Mildred Fairbanks. After listening to these speakers we were introduced to the foreign legation by Lillian Reid. Deciding to continue our tour we visited a modiste shop owned by Dot Ludgate. The mannequins. who were Dorothy Draper, Ruth Allen, and Caroline Fletcher, displayed many stunning creations. The latest Parisian fad in knickers, designed by Ada Wadsworth, were exhibited by Albert Wheeler. Tea was served by Louise New-mann and Emily Shellenberger. After making our purchases we boarded a rubber-neck which carried us to the Louvre. There we met a group of former P. H. S. students who were admiring the works of Rembrandt. Van Dyke, and other old masters. Included in this group were Margaret McCabe, Frank Allen, James Kelly, and Frank Kulick. We also tan across Vera Lee and Tillie Mc-Dougall. who were seeing the sights of gay Paree.” Coming out of the Louvre we saw a crowd around three runners and going up to find out the cause of the trouble we found that this excitement was caused by Cornelius Mahon, Charles Vaslet. and Israel Weinstein, who were circling the world on foot to win a wager of five thousand dollars. After seeing all the sights we returned to the chemist’s headquarters where we found that this important personage was none other than our friend Walter Tibbitts. Mr. Tibbitts informed us that although he and his two assistants, Raymond Murray and William Ross, had striven to analyze this unknown element, it was of no avail, but he informed us that if we took it to Cairo, this great mystery of the negative might be solved. Again, not discouraged by this setback, we set out across France for tire Mediterranean. Passing by the outskirts of Paris we were surprised to be hailed by Evelyn Johnson. She informed 1925 Pawtucket High School 59 iiminniiiHiiraiiimiiiniiiMiinmit us that she was one of several girls who were running a farm and she invited us to pay them a visit. When we reached the farm we found that Elsie Perrin, Catherine Mangan, and Ellen McCaughey had become farmerettes and at that very moment were in the garden digging potatoes. Not being able to remain longer, we caught our train for Bordeaux and started on. The train had just started when John McKnight came through the cars selling papers. Purchasing one, we found it contained many interesting facts about notable Americans. The first thing that caught our eye was the fact that Bill Carney had just taken the position as coach in the kangaroo school in Australia to teach the kangaroos how to jump. Roy Rankin, under the care of his manager, Samuel Fabri-cant, had just captured the heavyweight honors in the boxing world. A basketball team composed of Jacob Brill, Wilfred Meagher, Louis McCaughey. and Norbert Dembowski, had captured the basketball championship of the United States. Many new faces were at the opening night of the Follies of 1930, Flip Bryce. Beatrice Convey, Madeline McCrory, and Ruth Pearson had added much beauty and pep to the program. After leading the paper, we repaired to the dining car where we encountered Milton Nelson, Louis Fleming, and Frederick Holt, who were travelling in France on business. When we reached Bordeaux, we engaged reservations on a steamer for Egypt. Boarding the steamer we found that Olive Fredenburgh, Doris Hood, Elizabeth Howes, Charlotte Smith, and Elizabeth Whitely were on their way to visit King Tut’s tomb. On the second day out. we passed a yacht which we recognized as belonging to Robert Hood. Scrutinizing more closely, we recognized the faces of Charlotte Kearney. Elizabeth Quinham, and Loretta Boyd. After docking at Alexandria, we went to a hotel where we registered. We arrived at our apartments in an elevator run by Doris 'K ilber. That evening we tuned in on some American stations and listened to a very enjoyable program. The first number we heard was a Shakespearean play read by Hope James. The next number was a debate, “Should men part their hair in the middle or on the side?” in which Elena Conway. Kenneth Wright, Esther Eames, and Madeline Ruddle participated. The next day we continued on our way to Cairo. We hastened our negative to the house of the great chemist. Here we were greeted by Richmond Livingstone, who was now the most noted chemist in the world. Mr. Livingstone informed us that he had the chemical but the plates could not be developed for a few weeks. He advised us to return to America and he would forward the plates as soon as possible. After we had accomplished so much of our work we decided it would be worth our while to view Egypt. We hired several camels, and under the guidance of Frank Paine started out to see the Sphinx and the Pyramids. Here we met Leo Goldman and Henry Solomon, the famous mathematicians, who were figuring out the mistakes the Egyptians made in the construction of the Pyramids. After seeing the Sphinx, we continued on our way to King Tut’s tomb and there we found Mary anasse, Sarah O’Neil, Nellie Turiek, and Gertrude Murphy viewing these relics of the pas I:. At this moment a band of Arabian horsemen dashed up and we were surprised to find our classmate John Borek had turned a desert sheik. On our way back to the steamer, we stopped at a small Egyptian curio shop run by Alma Abbot and Ernestine Bowley and made a few purchases. While thus engaged, Eunice Gildea and her sister-in-law, Ethel Clear, entered. Eunice and Ethel had just been touring the Mediterranean countries. After chatting for a few moments, we left for our boat. As we were embarking, we were astonished to find another party of Pawtucketites were also departing for home sw'eet home.' Martha Taylor, Evelyn Sholovitz, Alice Vi holey, and Evelyn Wright, who now held high positions in the business wrorld, w’ere just returning to America after making a survey of the tea industry in India. While sailing past the Rock of Gilbraltar. we were hailed by Max Fishman and George Hulme, who were now in the act of painting a large sign on that massive rock. After a few days sailing we once more docked at Liverpool and found that Emory Worthington was customs officer there. While waiting for the 00 I ■ iiiiiiutiiiit 1925 Pawtucket Hich School boat to leave for the United States we encountered Elizabeth Read and Janet Wadsworth who were now the wives of prominent English statesmen. In the course of our conversation we found that Dorothy Strachan and “Boots Keough now held the positions of physical directors in a large English school. On board the ship we received a letter from Christine McCaughey, who was now visiting the birthplaces of the English writers. In her letter, she mentioned several of our former classmates. Lois Daily. Delia Cemine, Annette Lussier, and Emma Carr had become nurses in Bellevue Hospital. Muriel Buckley and Margaret Carney were now school-marms. Muriel Cottrell and Helen Browning had recently won distinguished prizes in Paris for their portrait paintings. On the second day out, we noticed Frieda Eisenberg for tbe first time. She was now governess for the children of one of the wealthiest families in Newr York. She informed us that Frances Feder, Helen Wilson, Elsie Wolsten-croft. and Florence Hawkins had just left for France to compete in the athletic games in Paris. The next day a tennis tournament was held on hoard in which Margaret Dolt and Stephen Dil-worth won the mixed doubles. That evening a radio entertainment was given under the direction of Vincent Hindley. Florence Larson, now a professor at Pembroke College, lectured on “The Flapper and Her Styles.” A group of selections was sung by the Pawtucket High School Alumni quartet consisting of Dorothy Gelinas, Mary McCaffrey, Ruth Liberty, and Margaret Gaudet. Edward Jackson gave an interesting account of “How I made my first few millions in oil.” As soon as our boat docked at New York, we were beseiged by a group of reporters. Kathleen McGowan. Hildegarde Johnson, Beatrice L'Heur-eux, and Elizabeth Keenan all tried to interview us. After our close escape from the claws of these reporters we “took in” a musical comedy. Here we were surprised to see that Dick Cotton was the leading man and Grace Rawlinson and Winifred Williams were also included in the cast. We purchased our tickets for the Providence-bound boat from Araxe Rahanian. On board we met Margaret Coleman, who informed us that she had been elected the first woman governor of Rhode Island. Her Honor was accompanied by Margaret Fitzpatrick who wfas now attorney general of the stale. Upon docking at Providence, we were greeted by Louise Lockner and Catherine McKenna who were now employed in the secret service department. As we left the docks we were hailed by Cecilia Pullan. seated in a large Packard, who took us to Pawtucket High School. Just as we reached the school, Ernest Pearson came running up the walk with our sealed pictures which had been sent from Egypt by special delivery. With fingers trembling with haste, we fervidly broke open the seal, and there lay before us our developed picture—the completed Senior High School! Surrounded by soft green lawns, a huge marble edifice stood out in magnificent splendor against a clear blue sky. Tall, graceful, gigantic trees lined the wide promenades about the building. and beautiful marble fountains bubbled on the lawn. All in all. we had never seen such a magnificent building in all our life, and we felt truly recompensed for all our arduous labor. The Unfortunates, Eleanor Morse.

I). Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-five, into the cold, cruel jaws of this cold, cruel world, being in our customary state of mental genius and in our usual condition of super-intellect, do hereby transcribe, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. First, we give and bequeath to the class of 1926: The terrible and heart rending terror produced by those ominous words “On the hill” and “College gates.” The great and undeniable privilege of writing those welcome compulsory medal essays. The satisfaction of being looked upon with awe and respect as examples of high grade scholarship and lofty attainments. The pride and distinction of being the ignoble class which follows that illustrious and unsurpassable class of 1925 in the ethereal realms of certain dominions on the second floor of this edifice. The timely warning to observe all laws as to jay walking which are commendably enacted and enforced by the traffic squad throughout the various arteries of traffic in this magnificent labyrinth of ours. The opportunity of stopping at the bulletin boards as an excuse for procrastination in reporting to classes at the stated zero hour. The advice that one does not graduate until he receives his diploma on that night of all nights. The perfect co-operation on the part of an ever ready Parent-Teacher Association, which is always looking to the best interests of the student. The privilege of holding at various times throughout the year class meetings wherein may be discussed the rising cost of white flannels and other dignified topics. The right to attend as the senior class those delightful aids to social intercourse, monthly P. T. A. dances in the ball room on the ground floor. The gift of a book of etiquette, entitled “How to Conduct Oneself in a Ladylike or Gen-tlemanlylike Manner” to each member of the class. All this we leave to the class of 1926, provided it agrees to cancel any plans, arrangements or schemes whatsoever for copying, mimicking or imitating in any way that great demonstration of staid dignity on the part of the senior class known throughout these environs as “Freak Day.” Second, we give and bequeath to the class of 1927: The right to make merry at their own Junior Prom. The opportunity of regarding the Junior Prom of the class of 1925 as a fitting example of what such an occasion should be. The duty of electing responsible and reliable class officers, who will do well to follow in the footsteps of those highly respected dignitaries who piloted a class which graduated in June, 1925. through the troublesome waters of the fourth sea of the intellectual hemisphere. The privilege of attending whatever ceremonies, entertainments, or meetings which may be arranged by the administration for the bene- 62 1925 Pawtucket High School fit of its wards. In this classification, the class of 1925 makes no exception as to Wednesday movies which we must admit came as a welcome relief after a hectic day with books, teachers and whatnot. The presentation to each and every member of its class of a rubber ball and a set of jacks. This is a harmless amusement and develops the brain into a quick acting machine, as it is a game which requires an immense amount of science and acute thinking. All this we give and bequeath to the class of 1927, with the distinct understanding that under all circumstances it must refrain, abstain and desist from the use of garments or apparel of a blackish hue on the day after “Freak Day. In case the class of 1926 chooses to sacrifice our munificent bequeath for the sake of a single day of hilarity, the entire class of 1927 shall act as pall bearers ex-officio to the departed spirit of their forebears, who have decided to neglect these omens which we have discreetly decreed. In case the class of 1926 does violate our advice, the class of 1927 must also prepare propitious offerings to the gods and goddesses undei Miss Sarah Osborn’s direction and supervision. Third, we give and bequeath to the class of 1928. although hardly out of its infancy and thereby unable to make use of our gifts until it attains its majority: The pleasure of trotting or meandering (as the time may be) across that Pride of Pawtucket, known so well to us all. instead of climbing and straining to the crest of towering Church Hill. The thoughts that some day, it too may be the graduating class and he the recipient of all the honors and of course the labors of said group. The duty of confiscating for its own use those felt oblongs which are said to he used for erasing those beautiful blackboards which adorn the wa 11s of our sanctuaries. The opportunity to learn more about that man of all men. Julius Caesar, who seems to have taken the premier laurels from our more humble American cousins, but we hastily rush to add that it must desist from any plans to emulate his engineering resources in the construction of a ‘Caesar bridge” across the Pawtucket River or Varragansett Bay. The express duty of supporting all functions of any kind, which are undertaken by the more enterprising upperclassmen. The class of ‘28 is also to receive a set of muzzles and gags. This is absolutely necessary because of the fact that sophomores with the exception of ’25 never could be kept quiet. If these do not prove effective, Maxim silencers will have to be used. All this we leave to the class of 1928, provided it retain always in its mind the memory of a since departed class, which it will do well to follow, the class of 1925 Fourth, we give and bequeath to the class of 1929. which we have not seen but which in characteristic 25 generosity we are not forgetting in our final will: The use of many welcome innovations, which, even we ourselves do not hesitate to add, could have been used by us with genuine pleasure. The anticipation of four delightful years in that old institution, Pawtucket High School, loved by us all! The hope that it will maintain the reputation of the aforementioned school as well as did that class of one hundred and eighty which preceded the class v f 1929 by exactly four years, to a day. The thrill of being addressed as Miss Smith instead of Mary and of being called Smith in place of Johnny. The satisfaction in the knowledge that it has jumped the first hurdle to intellectual prowess and has therefore earned a grammar school diploma. The advice and earnest desire that it may lead the way in patronizing all school activities and the hope that it may become a group that may be known as “the class which does things.” The contribution of a number of horns, drums and other noise making devices. These will take up some of the children’s time and will provide a safe form of entertainment for the youngsters. It will be a diversion and will keep the children from overtaxing their immature brains. All this we leave to the class of 1929 with the reminder that it all must be sacrificed unless it agrees to look up to the class of 1925 as a fit and inspiring idol. Fifth, we give and bequeath to the Dramatic Society: The sum of ten dollars, which shall be spent nuiiiiiuiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiii iiniiiiiiiiimitmtiiw Pawtucket High School ■naifUHiimniniminnimirommiiiauHiiimiiiiiiiiinninnwiinwiHwuiiiMtt 63 NIUBIIMIUWIMlINmUaNUni N iiiraiiimiuiimiiiiiiiuiniiiiimiminmmuMimiimitmiiu: 1925 waMiMumiaaiimiimiiiuiiniiiMiiiwi'iMiimimiiiin for the time and labor required to change the position of the mirror in the boys’ dressing room to a more dignified and appropriate location. The sum of five dollars, which shall be expended for the purchase of sufficient poundage of butter or other lubricant to urge the curtain ropes on in their errand of mercy. The sum of two hundred dollars, which shall constitute a trust fund for the erection and maintenance of a greenhouse whose total output shall be used on evenings of the play presentations.

Sixth, we give and bequeath to the Gleaner Board: A shining example of how the Cleaner should be edited, managed, and published. The satisfaction in distributing its publication on the set date.

To Miss Wheeler, the noble skippress of that Room 20 crew, the prophecy that she will never have to govern again such an obedient, quiet, and dumb bunch as she had in 1924-25. To Mr. Lee and Mr. Ramsdell we leave a yearly allowance of fifty dollars. Said sum is for the sole purpose of providing a picnic and holiday for said gentlemen’s children. If said allowance is used for any other purpose whatso- Hich School 1925 ever, it shall in the future he discontinued and shall go to the institution of the “Lunch Room” for “Half Famished Children.” To Mr. Ladd, it gives us great pleasure to have the opportunity of presenting a number of leather, of good grade, medals to be presented to the underclassmen of the orchestra.

H. S. debating teams were fortunate in secur-ing Mr. Kirschbaum as Faculty Advisor and Coach. The team was also fortunate in having as members Wright and Monahan, veterans of two years’ standing, and Cushman, who had been on the team for one year. Arrangements for the first debate were not made until late in the season as it was thought that an elimination series for the Brown Cup would again be conducted this year. Because of this change, Pawtucket was not able to enter the usual three or four debates of the season. The first question discussed was that of the proposed Twentieth Amendment dealing with child labor. Debating on this subject was cancelled when more than one-fourth of the State Legislatures rejected the amendment, thereby effectively eliminating the bill’s chances for ratification by the necessary three-fourths. Although the moral aspects of the topic remained unaltered by this legislative action, it was thought that the proposal was rendered unfeasible as a debatable question. Arrangements were successfully completed with North Attleboro for a dual debate to be Charles H. Kirschbaum Robert S. Monahan Stewart L. Cushman Vannina Frova T. Kenneth Wright held on April 9 on the subject, “Resolved, That the United States should further restrict its naval armament.” A team composed of Russell, ’26, Maker, ’25, and Monahan, ’25, with Wicks, ’25, as alternate, taking the affirmative side of the question, journeyed to North Attleboro and received a two to one decision. Pawtucket’s companion team, debating negatively and consisting of Barlow, ’25, Wright, ’25, and Cushman, ’25, with Kretman, ’25, as alternate unanimously defeated the visiting Massachusetts team in the school auditorium. That Pawtucket’s favorable results were not due to speaking on the popular side of a question but rather to superior debating tactics, both in the main speeches and in the rebuttal, is shown by the fact that both our teams, although debating on opposite contentions. were victorious. The 1925 team, although realizing that next year's representation will be deprived of several members through graduation, hopes that it may continue to uphold Pawtucket’s reputation in debating circles which previous teams have established. Robert S. Monahan, President. THE SUMNER LYCEUM GIRLS’ SWIMMING Coach Captain Manager HE girls’ swimming team had a most successful season under the excellent coaching of Miss Martha Jones. Pawtucket opened the season by defeating Technical 31-11. This is the third successive year this team has met defeat at the hands of Pawtucket. The next meet was held against Whitinsville, and Pawtucket was again victorious. This was the first time the two teams had met and Pawtucket surpassed the best swimmers on the Whitinsville team, winning 38-21. Martha Jones Margaret Long Anna Keough The third meet was with Brookline and proved to be the most interesting of the three, as every event was closely contested. Brookline has two champion swimmers on its squad and they were a large factor in its team w inning 42-34. As only a few members of the team will be lost by graduation, everything points to next year’s team being capable of keeping up the fine record made by former teams. Anna N.

Miss Martha Jones, this year’s basketball team was a decided success. Our season was begun on January 16th and our first game, played with Woonsocket, was an easy victory. The second game of the year was played with Cumberland in our gym and it, too. ended in our favor. Our next two games, with Cranston and West Warwick, were hard-fought battles, both of which were lost by a narrow margin. After a fast game with Attleboro, our girls came out the victors, being two baskets ahead of their opponents. Although the first contest with Dean Academy resulted in the defeat of our team, nevertheless our girls were not discouraged and when the Massachusetts team came to Pawtucket it was defeated by a score of 22-19. The first game of the inter-city series with Central Falls was played in our gym and it attracted a very large crowd from both schools. The victory was an easy one for our girls, the final score being 28-7. The second game of the series was played in the Y. W. C. A. and was one of the most exciting of the year. The end of the first half found Central Falls ahead, but during the last half our forwards worked harder than ever and when the whistle blew to end the conflict the score was 32-21 in our favor. Although two of the players are graduating, we feel that there is still excellent material in the school and we wish next year’s team the best of luck. Marion G. Dodge, Manager. BOYS' BASKETBALL Coach .... Howard P. Ramsdell Captain ................Harold Gildea Manager - ... John Davis HE basketball season was, on the whole, a success. In the first home game Pawtucket defeated Cumberland 17-8 and on the same afternoon took Blackstone into camp by a 35-19 score. Although Pawtucket did not win the Interscholastic League pennant the team gave a good account of itself in all the games played. In the second game with Woonsocket, the league champions, Pawtucket was barely beaten by the close score of 13-9. The annual inter-city series with Central Falls will be remembered by hundreds of basketball fans in the Twin Cities as two of the closest and hardest fought battles that ever took place between the two schools. Central Falls took the first game 28-24 after Pawtucket had been leading for three quarters. The memorable second game was won by Central Falls after four five-minute overtime periods by the score of 35-34. The team deserves much credit for the plucky fight it made to win the series. Although Pawtucket is losing four men by graduation there is enough material left to develop into a victorious team for next season. John K. Davis, Manager.

H. S. traditions. For the second successive season the football team was coached by Howard rex” Ramsdell, a former All-Maine tackle of Colby College, who has just completed his first year under his new duties as faculty coach of the major athletic sports. Continuing the policy of using enclosed fields, an innovation that was adopted in 1923 when the Pawtucket team played its home contests on Lindsley Field, Fairlawn, the athletic field of the United States Finishing Company on Prospect street, although essentially for baseball and soccer purposes, was utilized for our home engagements. Of the several handicaps with which Coach Ramsdell had to cope, there were two of more than secondary importance. In the first place, we lost by graduation in June, 1921, our entire backfield along with the strongest and most experienced part of the line. Secondly, because of the lack of suitable material that was at the coach’s disposal, the injury of a single man on the regular team came as a disaster. The Red and White opened its schedule on September 26. by completely smothering the visiting Cumberland High School eleven with the one-sided score, 53-0. This pre-season match gave Coach Ramsdell an opportunity to size up all his available material and at times the entire second team was representing P. H. S. on the gridiron. On the following Friday the Pawtucket squad journeved to Cranston where one of the most spectacular games on the entire card was played. This encounter, which resulted in a scoreless tie. was featured with air-tight playing on the part of both teams and marked the beginning of our Interscholastic League schedule. It was also the first of a series of tie games which had a detrimental effect on our standing in the league as tie games are discounted in the computation of the Howard P. Ramsdell Hugh Keough Robert S. Monahan percentage system, the same method which cost Pawtucket the 1923 pennant. A week later Pawtucket met Hope, our traditional rival, on the local field and fulfilled expectations by providing a very interesting and thrilling game. As scoring by straight football tactics was impossible, both teams resorted to drop kicking and forward passing. Raymond of Pawtucket booted two field goals, which spelled defeat for the Providence school although it tallied two points on a safety. A return engagement with the Rogers High School of Newport was played in Newport on Columbus Day. Like the Cranston game, it was one filled with many thrills and spectacular playing, but one touchdown being scored and that by the Islanders. Had the quarters been of regular Interscholastic League duration, the local team would probably have emerged the victor. On the following Friday, our second scoreless tie of the season was played with West Warwick on our home grounds. This also was a very tight game and at one time a scant 18 inches separated the visitors from scoring and thereby depriving us of our hold on the Interscholastic League pennant for which we were then credited with 1,000 per cent. An unfortunate fumble in the Commercial game, staged a week later at Kinsley Park, lost the game for Pawtucket by a 7-6 score. This defeat was a most disappointing one as Pawtucket had counted on easily defeating the business school since the latter was inaugurating its first season on the oval. But the hardest game of the whole season to lose was that with East Providence, played the following Wednesday at the U. S. Finishing Company field. Pawtucket had high hopes of avenging the previous year’s defeat, because of which East Providence was awarded the pennant over Pawtucket. The final score was 18-0, but the contest was a closer battle than the score would seem to indicate. By this defeat, Pawtucket was definitely out of the pennant race but gave the 1923 champions, who later annexed the 1924 title, a close fight. iiiNiiiHiiiMiiiiiiuiuiii'iiiiiiiiiiiaiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiHiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiHiHiaiiiKtiiuiiiHiitriiiiitiiiiiRiiiimiittiiiHniniiiMaiiiniiiiiMiiwuatiiiiiiiiM Pawtucket High School 75 1925 tlllUlllllllltlllllllll Pawtucket’s next Interscholastic League game was played with Classical High School at Roger Williams Park and resulted in a 7-7 tie. Our team, weakened by the loss of many first string players who were at that time on the injured list, could score but once on a machine which was generally conceded to be the weaker outfit. The Red and White closed its league season with a 17-0 defeat administered at the hands of Woonsocket High in a game played in the northern city. The playing of the local eleven was decidedly hampered by the field conditions but our team fell before a stronger aggregation. During the season, arrangements in the form of a two-year contract were completed by the management of both the Pawtucket and Central Falls High Schools for a Twin City Championship game to be played Thanksgiving morning at the Waypoyset Stadium, Central Falls. A cup was offered the winning team and keen rivalry was displayed. Our return game with La Salle Academy of Providence for Thanksgiving was cancelled in order that we might play our twin city rivals on the holiday. Because of the fact that many of our players were not in the best possible condition, arrangements for another post season game were halted in order that Pawtucket might show its maximum strength in the Turkey Day encounter. A huge crowd witnessed the game which after many turns in fortune finally terminated in a 12-12 tie. As the odds were decidedly against Pawtucket because of the fine record Central falls had established in its previous encounters, the result of the game was hailed as a victory by many Pawtucketites. There was much agitation in favor of playing ofT the tie but it was thought advisable by the management of both teams to end the season with the championship undecided. Thus we ended the season with two victories, four defeats and as many ties, together with the formation of a custom which we hope may result in the playing of a truly “annual classic” with our twin city high school. In addition to equipping a large squad with the best of uniforms and taking an equally large squad on our trips, our profits easily exceeded $200 and served to finance several of the minor sports which can produce no revenue. To the residents of Pawtucket who became interested followers of the team during the past season, we owe our financial success and at this time we wish to voice our appreciation to the many ardent football fans who have consistently “backed up” the team. Robert S. Monahan, Manager. TRACK Coach ... Captain Manager JJjM H F. 1925 I rack team, trained under a new and very competent coach. Albert Rogan, has been very successful. The team defeated the Providence Y. M. C. A. senior team in a dual meet held in our gymnasium. Then, going into a larger field, the boys, led by Captain Carney, traveled to the Providence Y. M. C. A. to participate in the Rhode Island Interscholastic Championship meet and brought back the cup. As usual. Captain Carney was the outstanding star, winning three first places and running on our relay team that came in second. Besides Carney, Cushman. Korenbaum and Gildea scored in the broad jump; Mahon and Long in the shot put; Dugall and Gildea in the high jump. Crothers scored in the 300-vard run. Albert Rogan William Carney Winston McCay The team has had a successful out-door season, too. At the Kingston meet, in which we placed second, the high jump and discus records were broken by Captain Carney and Louis Oden respectively. At the Brown Interscholastic Meet, our track team was very successful, winning by a large margin over Woonsocket. A new half-miler was discovered in Whitehead, and Crothers made good time in the low hurdles. Captain Carney, Crothers, Long, Gildea, Cushman, Oden and others leave the team this June, but Dugall. Whitehead, Korenbaum and Havey remain to make a splendid foundation for a winning team next year.

Curtis HE 1924-25 season of the Dramatic Society, just closed, has been marked by real accomplishment. Not only have the productions been of a high order, but the appreciation shown by our friends in their attendance in goodly numbers has been very noticeable and greatly appreciated by our coach and members. Financially, we have been able to add a substantial sum to the society’s treasury. The membership the past year has, if anything, been larger than previous years, while the attendance at the rehearsals and the enthusiasm shown are all that could be desired. Our society opened the season on December 12, by presenting a three-act comedy, “The Champion. This was given before a large and appreciative audience. On February 20, “Daddy Longlegs” was presented. This play, perhaps more prententious than any other play attempted during the year, was marked by remarkable smoothness. It required four changes of scenery and we were very fortunate in having a good group of property and stage managers. The most important play of all was the Senior Play, “Seven Chances. This was staged two nights, May 21 and 22, in the auditorium before capacity audiences. The scenery and lighting effects of this play were especially artistic and great credit is due to the managers for their capable assistance. We feel that a large measure of our success has been due to the fine leadership and excellent coaching of Miss Curtis and we take this occasion to thank her for her untiring efforts in our behalf. The Dramatic Society this year voted to give the proceeds of the first night’s performance of the Senior Play to two scholarships. They were bestowed upon a Senior boy and girl of the Honor Society. They were chosen hy a selected committee made up of the Principal, members of the Faculty and the Dramatic Society. W'e feel that that was a fitting way of rewarding those who have by their efforts and talents proved themselves most worthy of the gift. To the future Dramatic Societies of P. H. S.— we extend our best wishes and trust they may carry on our work to even more generous, heights. Hope James, President. till III.

Pawtucket emerged the victor, piling up 45 points against the Hope mermen’s 14. Donald Caulfield was the individual star of the meet, while Ventrone of Hope came in a close second. Pawtucket entered in the Interscholastic Meet at Brown University and although we had to be content with fourth place, because of the crippled condition of the team, we were able to capture two second places. Kenneth Wright, Manager. Coach Captain Manage! HE 1925 baseball team of the Pawtucket High School was the most successful since the one which won the pennant in 1911. Although not a championship team, we won enough games to put us close to the top of the league. The spirit shown by the boys was that never-say-die one that wins games. Through the courtesy of the United States Finishing Company, we were able to play our home games on their new' enclosed field. This, in addition to being an excellent field, made financial success possible. The season opened early, April 7, when Technical played at Slater Park. We took the short end of a 9-2 score. This did not weaken the fighting spirit of the team, for in the opening game of the league, we tied Commercial in a game that was called because of darkness. In playing off this game, we defeated Commercial 5-3. Classical was the next victim, an 11-9 trouncing. East Providence with Malcolm Jeffries, Pawtucket player of a year back, on the mound, and headed straight for the pennant, was set back 5-4 in eleven innings. Howard P. Ramsdell Harry Main Laurence E. Geineinhardt The first game away from home was with Cranston on April 24. We won 13-6. Then came the jinx. West Warwick. We lost 15-6 on their home grounds. Then came the old stumbling block. Hope, who tripped us up, and won, 12-6. W'oonsocket then came to Pawtucket and the Rubber City boys were walloped 9-2. Our second meeting with Commercial was a defeat. Classical then fell victims to Roberts’ curves and we won 6-4. East Providence avenged their defeat on May 19, and we fell before them, 6-4. In a game on our home grounds we defeated Cranston 10-9. The annual inter-city series with Central Falls for the Herbert Nightingale Cup wTas staged on June 9 and June 12. Roberts, Captain Main, Havey and Crothers were big factors in every victory. Only three men, Crothers, Milligan and Jeffries will be lost by graduation, so there is every indication that Pawtucket High School should produce a championship team in 1926. Laurence E.

Not by accident or good luck is it done, but by specializing attention to details. For instance, we buy shoes in larger assortments and varieties. That interests manufacturers who always give us a lower price. And, that lower price is always passed on to our customers. Thus, when you shop here for shoes you get the largest style variety in the city, and you also get the greatest opportunity for saving.
