Have you ever seen her cross or worried? If she has any troubles she certainly doesn’t burden the next fellow with them. “Frank” looks shy, but she really isn’t. Meet her in a crowd and find out how jolly and amusing she can be. “Ev” has thoroughly enjoyed her school year, either arriving late, being excused, or not showing up at all. No wonder she has chosen for her motto: “A new day is a new opportunity.” Her favorite pastime is dancing, at which she is no mean stepper. American history pleases her a good deal, hut then who does not enjoy Miss Osborn’s interesting class? Frances positively loves Richard Harding Davis—as an author. Her plans for next year are not yet definite, but whatever she does we extend to her our best wishes for success. MAX FISHMAN (“Maxsy”) Motto: Do it now and be done with it.” “Maxsy” lives up to his motto. If he has some typewriting to do he just sits down and makes the keys talk. Talk about Paderewski making sweet music on a baby grand, just step into the typewriting class and listen to “Maxsy” and you’ll say he has “Pad” crying for help. “Max” is, without doubt, the champion excuse maker of P. H. S. His house burned down, or his dog was sick, or his car was derailed—always a good one and never the same one twice. “Maxsy” trips the light fantastic occasionally, and he sure can step. Although “Max” is not going to college next year we know that he will become a leader in the line of cleical work which is his favorite study. MARGARET ELIZABETH FITZPATRICK (“Peggy”) Motto: “A still tongue makes a wise head.” Who is that blonde who goes rushing through the halls on errands from the office? Why “Peggy” Fitzpatrick of course. Who else could it be? “Peggy” is one of those quiet persons who are seen most of the time and not heard. But you know what the old saying is: “Still water runs deep.” Her favorite pastime is dancing, and when not enjoying herself in this manner she can be found engrossed in a novel by Ethel M. Dell. Next year she is planning to enter her business career as a stenographer, probably to some important business man, and since shorthand was her pet study in High School we are quite certain she will succeed. We wish you the best of luck, “Peggy.” LOUIS DOUGLAS FLEMING (“Louie”) Motto: “Look before you leap.” A rather small, auburn-haired chap with light blue eyes and a smile that stretches from ear to ear, and there you have him! That’s Louis all right, but that isn’t all there is to him—not by a long shot. Louis is one of Mr. Nase’s right-hand men when it comes to putting across some gym work. Yes sir, something tells us he’s going to lie a second Doug Fairbanks when he finishes a few more fencing lessons. Louis spends a good deal of his spare time in sports of one kind or another, but he isn't too busy to read Zane Grey every now and then. Mathematics is his favorite subject, and he will return to P. H. S. next year where he will pursue it further.

Wouldn't that get your goat, though, being slapped in the face by an elastic coming from goodness knows where? But the culprit is discovered, and all take warning. Samuel is also a newspaper fiend. The last desk in 29 is always arrayed with the morning edition of the Providence Journal or some such paper, and undoubtedly the seeker will discover a hidden stack of newspapers within the desk. But Samuel doesn't spend all his time indoors, for his hobby is baseball. His favorite study is French—he says he means the language, but we shouldn't lie at all surprised if he really means the mademoiselles. “Appearances are deceiving,” and although “Sam” looks quiet—well, we are not prepared to say. Next year Samuel is going to Rhode Island State College, where he will have to do more reading out of text books and less out of newspapers. WILSON EVANS (“Parson,” “Bill”) Motto: “Better late than never” REVISORY COMMITTEE OF A. A. (4), BUSINESS MANAGER “BELIEVE ME XANTIPPE” (3), “THE CHAMPION” (4), ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER “mice and men” (3), “daddy long-legs” (4), “senen chances” (4), GLEE CLUB (4), ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER GLEANER (3), BUSINESS MANAGER CLEANER (4), BUSINESS MANAGER RECORD-ANDA (4), COLONIAL DAMES ESSAY PRIZE (4), CHEMISTRY TEAM (4), HONOR SOCIETY Don’t rush, folks—plenty of time! Step right this way and meet the “Parson,” the business brains of P. H. S. My, what burdens and responsibilities for such young shoulders! “Bill” certainly has worked his way through High. Socially he is as wide-awake as along business lines, and it takes very little time to discover that he is an all-around good sport. Wanted—a crossword expert to solve the perplexing puzzle: How is P. H. S. possibly going to get along without Evans? Brown, you don’t realize how fortunate you’re going to be next year. You’ll certainly appreciate our contribution. MILDRED EVELYN FAIRBANKS (“Millie”) Motto: “The only uay to have a friend is to be one” We call this a one hundred per cent, simon pure, A number one motto. A girl that starts out in life with that slogan, ought surely to reap a harvest of friends. Judging by the start “Millie” has already made, she will have many. Give “Millie” a book and a cozy nook, and she counts the world well lost. Her next year’s plans are indefinite, hut in whatever she undertakes, we hope she will be successful.

Perhaps you've noticed the girl with the flaxen curls and that winning smile. Well, that’s our Carolyn. Her smile is simply irresistible and has broken many a heart, who knows? Carolyn came to us four years ago from Grove Street, and ever since has been boosting old P. H. S. She says her best-liked subject is shorthand, but we notice that her other studies are never neglected. Aside from this she’s brilliant in history, for any time Miss Osborn wants the “Presidents with dates” or the “Munroe Doctrine,” “Al” is right there with the answer. When she and her churn “Tillie” get together there’s some fun in store for all. Carolyn’s plans for next year are uncertain, but whatever she undertakes we know she'll be a great credit to the class of ’25. WILLIAM FRANCIS FOLEY (“Sammy,” “Firpo”) BUSINESS MANAGER “SEVEN CHANCES” (4), ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER “THE CHAMPION” (4), CHEMISTRY TEAM (4) “How about going to a dance tonight? Yes, it s “Sammy,” the jazz boy. You see that “Sammy” could live on dancing. Just feed him a snappy fox-trot and his appetite is appeased. Our “Willie ’ is also a chemist. That bov knows more chemistry than Webster knew words. No wonder we have good write-ups for our plays, “Firpo ’ represents the Times. Zane Grey is “Willie’s” favorite author. By the looks of things in room 17 it is evident that the boy burns the midnight oil reading wild-west stories, and next morning enacts the scenes with the aid of spit-balls. He is, without doubt, the champion of the elastic band. In the year to come we shall undoubtedly see W illie in some flourishing business. OLIVE ISABELLA EREDENBURGH (“Bones,” “Grizzly Bear”) Motto: Keep your face toward the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you.” Here is one who smiles through adversity. Give her a set of drawing tools and some paints and she will make her own sunshine. She tells us she is going to the Rhode Island College of Education next year. “Bones” informs us that history is her favorite study. We wonder whether the fact that historv is filled with heroes and romantic tales has any influence over her choice. W e wish you luck in your future life, Olive. ANNINA MARIE FROVA (“Van”) Motto: “Facta, non Verba.” VICE-PRESIDENT LYCEUM (4), DRAMATICS (4) Here’s “Van”—that charming little senorita of Room 29. She is an ardent supporter of everything pertaining to P. H. S., and can be seen at the games and track and swimming meets. Sire is right at home on the stage, and will not be forgotten soon because of her roles in “The Champion” and “Seven Chances.” She enjoys nothing so much as driving her own car and she makes a very capable “chauffeuress.” “Van” is very interested in art, at least, so We infer, for she buys posters by the dozen. But, then, there may be method in her madness— who knows? Next year, “Van” will enter Cedar Crest College, Pennsylvania. The best of luck, “Van!
