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.

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.

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.”
