Pawtucket Hich Schooi 1925 25 unim ■MIMIIMUIIM1IKI EUNICE FRANCES GILDEA (“Eunie”) Motto: “Love them all but marry none. From her motto, one might suspect that Eunice is a genuine heart-breaker. Such, however, is not the case, as a certain senior from Room 29 will confess. Eunice is always present at our track meets and foot-hall games, cheering herself hoarse for dear old P. H. S. At our dances she is always l eseiged by scores of suitors, so that she says she will have to divide the dances in order to accommodate everybody. Eunice takes to millinery very eagerly, and, judging by her hats, she is some milliner. Next year, Eunice may enter the Rhode Island College of Education to prepare to teach our future young hopefuls. HAROLD JOSEPH GILDEA (“Gil,” “Storky,” “Gilda”) . Motto: ‘7f is always a waste of time to ask a man to listen to reason at the moment when he ought to Jo it” CI.ASS TREASURER (3) (4), LEAGUE DELEGATE (2). VICE-PRESIDENT A. A. (3), PRESIDENT (4), FOOTBALL (2) (3) (4), BASKETBALL (3) (4), CAPTAIN B. B. (3| (4), TRACK (2) (3) (4), BASEBALL (3) (4), HOCKEY (4), GLEE CLUB (4), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (3), REVISORY COMMITTEE OF A. A. (4) Behold the noble visage of one of the most popular boys in our class! Gaze on his record and lie convinced! There has never been a committee without “Gil’s” inspiring and worthwhile influence. This little fellow (is he six feet two inches or six feet three inches?) has l een clearing the bar, shooting baskets, playing football, baseball and hockey for four successful years, and no prom or reception has been complete without his gallant presence. For two years he has been our trusty treasurer, and, in short, has l een in everything which could be crowded into four years. Harold has never claimed to lx much of a lady’s man, but he manages to hold his own with a certain dark-haired miss. Next year. “Gil hopes to enter Canisius College, Buffalo, but we know that wherever he goes he'll lx a prominent figure (literally and figuratively). LEO GOLDMAN HONOR SOCIETY Motto: II ny a pas Je rose sans cpeins” 1 Freely translated, this motto means, “Nothing is acquired without -u,;% r effort. Apparently this motto has inspired Leo throughout his career A in P. II. S.. because we find him emerging at the end. one of the envied ones of the Rhode Island Honor Society. His favorite study is French. P Often we have seen him the center of a group desirous of a little aid in that subject, in which he shone. His literary taste is a little out of the ordinal v. a- In prefers tin of that well known delineator of jlPW ( .ape Cod ts pe . Joseph C. Lincoln. Leo plan- next year to attend Rhode Island State where we expect he will gain more scholastic honors.

DRAMATICS (4) “Ella” is the most talkative girl in our class. If everyone said as much as she in a day’s time, none would say anything. The age-old proverb savs, “Silence is golden.” Our own little “Ella” is virtuous, we believe. She remains true to her motto, for she always has a bright smile on her face which lights up the whole room. When she tells us that her ideal pastime is dancing we wonder if she is really shy at all. She may not be after school hours. “Ella’s” favorite subject is shorthand, and we understand that she is quite expert in that line. Her favorite author is Carolyn Wells, so she informs us. “Ella” plans to attend some business college next year. The class of ’25 wishes you success! CATHERINE ANJEANETTE VERONICA GAYNOR (“Kitty”) Motto: “Grin and bear it.” “Kitty” is that auburn-haired girl who sits in room 29. Perhaps most of us remember her by her exquisite show of millinery on our illustrious Freak Day. Since her arrival here, she has followed the commercial line of study, and we have heard that she quite excels in stenography, probably because of her liking for this subject. She spends lots of her time dancing, and this is, she claims, her favorite pastime. Next year we shall probably find her at Bryant and Stratton’s, if her plans turn out well. Good luck to you, “Kitty”! DOROTHY IRENE GEL I NAS (“Dot”) Motto: “Put auay a little ray of sunshine for a rainy day.” “Dot” has certainly lived up to her motto through her four years in high school. On any rainy day one may be sure to see her doing her share to distribute her “gold dust” and “liven things up a bit.” Next to doing this, “Dot” loves to read Zane Gray’s novels and to draw. We don’t know which she likes better, but each holds a strong fascination for her. “Dot” also excells in dancing, or, in fact, anything that spells fun. Next year, she intends to further her learning in the Rhode Island School of Design. Wherever you are or whatever you are doing, “Dot,” don’t forget good old P. H. S. and the class of ’25. LAURENCE EDWIN GE.MEINHARDT (“Larry,” “Bleton”) Motto: “On with the Ford!” ASSISTANT MANAGER BASEBALL (3), MANACER BASEBALL (4), MANACER SOCCER (4), GLEE CLUB (4), CLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4) Well! If it isn’t “Larry!” Who’d have thunk it? And without the “flivver,” too! He confided to us the other day that he wanted to have his picture taken with his old friend the Ford, but the Yandall Studio could not accommodate him. Too bad, “Larry.” We’ll admit you don t look natural without it. “Larry” boasts that a Ford has no limitations. We almost agree with you, “Larry”—how many did you take home the other day, eight, or was it ten? You'll never guess what he claims is his favorite study—Latin! Can you imagine that? “Larry” goes to Brown next year, but we feel sure that “when he gets to the college gates” (to quote?), he will not forget the class of ’25.

To paraphrase Patrick Henry, “Bunny” would say, “Give me a book, or give me death!” He prefers Samuel Clemens, more popularly known as Mark Twain. If his aim in life is as high as his literary taste, he will surely hit the stars. His favorite study is geometry, which he hopes to pursue more deeplv next year in Boston University. FLORENCE ELIZABETH HAWKINS Motto: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Florence is the quiet little miss who can usually be found in Room 29. surrounded by a group of her friends. Florence is one of those girls who never talks unless she has something worth while to say. W hen she does begin to give advice to her classmates, however, you mav believe that they all listen respectfully and are usually convinced before she has finished talking. When she isn’t working enthusiastically over a Spanish lesson, she is curled up in a large chair w ith a box of candy and one of Charles Dickins’ novels. Next year, Florence expects to attend R. I. College of Education, and so who knows but she may return to old P. H. S. a full-fledged “school marm”? VIRGINIA CHARLOTTE HAYMAN (“Ginger”) Motto: “Perfection is the point at ivhich all should aim.” GLEE CLUB (4) The girl with the big blue eyes, did you say? Yes, that’s she coming down the corridor, telling some funny incident to her neighbor, and throwing her into a gale of laughter. Where have you seen her before? She looks familiar. Well—the truth will out—she hasn’t missed one of the dances given by the Parent-Teacher Association. Perhaps that explains it. At any rate, we wonder which “Ginger” enjoys more, the dancing or the orchestra, for she is a true lover of music. English is her favorite study, but Virginia also likes her other classes—and the people in them. She thinks Booth Tarkington has a wonderful knowledge of youth, and prefers his books to those of any other author. Next year, “Ginger” is going to join the ranks at the Rhode Island College of Education. RAYMOND FREDERICK HENDERSON (“Ray’) Motto: “Don't do it.” CLEE CLUB (4), HONOR SOCIETY, MANAGER HOCKEY (4), MANACER TENNIS (4), SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE (4) Another of our popular fellows is Ray.” At all the social functions of the year one is sure to see “Ray” present. Although he is popular “Ray has in no way neglected his studies, and his scholastic ability is shown in the fact that he has been admitted to the Honor Society, an accomplishment which is not attained by the majority of boys. Next year Ray” intends to enter Brown, where success will surely come to him if he keeps up the reputation he established at P. H. S. Your classmates wish you the best of luck, “Ray.”
