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.

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!

1925 Pawtucket High School 17 JAMES BUCHANAN DOW (“Jimmy” “Scotty,” “Buck”) Motto: “If you cant win. make the fellow ahead break the record.” GLEE CLUB (4), DRAMATICS (3) (4), ORCHESTRA (3) (4) “Roamin’ in the Gloamin’ with a lassie by nia side.” Who’s that, Harry Lauder? No! That’s “Scotty” Dow! and isn’t he right there when it comes to mimicking Sir Harry himself? “Jimmy” has taken parts in many plays and proved himself quite an actor. No douht when you have seen him he has been causing someone to laugh with a witty expression or a joke. He is also a member of our celebrated orchestra, and can certainly play a fiddle. He is undecided as to his future plans, but wants to go either to some technical school or Rhode Island School of Design. The wishes of all your classmates go with you, “Jim,” for success in the future. LILLIAN MARGARET DOW Motto: “What's the use of worrying?” CLEE CLUB (4), HONOR SOCIETY Behold our Lillian with her hair bobbed again! While we liked it before we’ll have to admit we like it better bobbed. Lillian seems quiet to those who do not know her, but her intimate friends say that she is most assuredly not. Lillian started her freshman year with a brilliant record and has kept it throughout her high school career. As a result, she is a member of the Rhode Island Honor Society. Lillian declares that her favorite study is French, and we don’t wonder when we see her marks. Next year she intends to go to some prep school, probably Dean, before entering college. Wherever she goes the best w ishes of the class of ’25 go with her. DOROTHY KOERNER DRAPER (“Dot”) Motto: “So big.” DRAMATICS (4) A petite figure with golden curls and the gayest of grey-blue eyes, surrounded by a host of admires of the other sex—who is it? Who could it be but “Dot”? “Dot” is one of the most popular girls in the class of ’25. She enjoys herself thoroughly in all of her classes, although we have found out that she enjoys herself most in French, nest ce pas. Dot?” She doesn't stop at enjoying herself, though. All of those who sawr Daddy-Long-Legs know that “Dot” can surely give others a good time by her acting in Dramatic Society productions. Next year she expects to attend Lasell Academy, and later to continue her studies at Johns Hopkins. DELPHIS JOSEPH DUPUIS (“Duke,” Del”) Motto: “Think for yourself—it won’t hurt.” “Duke” is another one of our practical students. No frivolities during w'orking hours for him. If “Del” is working on an architectural drawing or a trig problem he wants to work and not be distracted. But then there is the other side. If “Del” is playing, he plays hard and puts his whole heart into whatever he’s doing. “Del is one to follow a motto like the one he has chosen. He is one of the foremost architectural drawing pupils, and will eventually take up this line of work. He is planning to enter the University of Pennsylvania in the fall.
