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.”

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.

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!
