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.

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.

 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.”
