 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.”

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.

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.
