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.

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.

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.
