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!

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.”

Ha!” proves a welcome diversion in the math class. We mean the only welcome diversion to the pupils. The teacher has his own opinion. “Steve” wonders why they don't ask what your most hated subject is. We don’t have to ask, for we all know what it is, and sympathize with him. Next year “Steve” expects to go to M. I. T., where his brilliance in math will be sure to make him a success. MARION GRETCHEN DODGE (“Skip,” “Skipper”) Motto: “There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip. CHEER LEADER (2l (3), MANAGER OF GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM (4) Hah! Hah! Hah! Whose laugh could that he but our own “Skipper’s”? “Skip is that cheerful and entertaining miss who is always surrounded by a group of admiring friends. No one can dispute the fact that she holds the record for attendance at all the games, be they football, basketball or baseball. “Skip proved a very energetic cheer leader, as well as a capable manager of our girls' basketball team. “Skip” was voted the best girl “mixer” in school, and it is not surprising, for she has that rare gift of making friends everywhere. Next year “Skipper” is to begin training at the Rhode Island Hospital, and we feel sure that her sunny disposition and efficient manner will do much toward making her a capable nurse. THEODORE G. DOMINA (“Teddy,” “Ted”) Motto: “Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today. DRAMATICS (4), STACE COMMITTEE “SEVEN CHANCES” (4) Here he is, the champion dancer of the Class of ’25. “Teddy’s” one and only love is dancing. When he’s not tripping the light fantastic at the “Arc,” he is enjoying himself at the school socials. “Ted” also is quite an actor, taking part in the cast of “The Champion.” “Teddy” always endeavors to live up to his motto, and a harder working fellow cannot be found in the school. He is a baseball player of no mean ability but, owing to work, he was not able to go out for the team. ‘Ted’s” favorite study is chemistry, and he is one of Mr. Wolfe’s prize pupils. His favorite author is Oppenheim. and he spends much of his time reading his works. “Ted” is undecided what he will do in the future, but next year. P. H. S. will find him back taking a post graduate course. MARGARET COURTNEY DOTT (“Peggy”) Motto: Real life is love, laughter and work. Room 27 got the surprise of its life last March when “Peggy” tripped in with her tresses bobbed. “Peggy” comes to us from Potter School and. although quiet, she always has her share of the good times with her friend Evelyn. “Peggy” confesses that she loves dancing, and we quite agree with her. Every Friday evening she can be found tripping the light fantastic with some of her admirers at the school. “Peggv” is one of our commercial girls and she says that stenography is her favorite study. “Peggy” plans to finish her commercial course at Bryant Stratton next year and thence go out into the business world.
