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.”

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.

He certainly lives up to his motto, for he is a marvelous pianist, and one of the best musicians P. H. S. has ever produced. Wilfred is also something of an artist, and has a great old time drawing pictures of the rest of us, especially some of our fair damsels. His motto could well have been Better late ihan never.' for he has a great reputation for getting to school just too late. On Freak Day. Wilfred made a perfect movie villain with his marcel wave and monocle, and gave all the girls quite a thrill. Next year will find Wilfred enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design, and we are sure that in the future he will do something great, and will bring fame and honour to P. H. S. and the class of ’25. VINCENT BROWN HINDLEY fHink”) Motto: “Sink or swim.” Here is one whose voice is heard most often in the mathematics classes. Mathematical subjects, which are such a bugbear for so many, hold no terrors for him. One can see Hink” following the baseball team wherever it goes, as he is an ardent baseball fan. He is also a Zane Grey enthusiast. He expects to attend Rhode Island State next year. LILLIAN HELEN HOGAN (“Bill,” “Lily”) Motto: “Let those love now who never loved before. Let those who always loved, now love the more.” Who was the thirteenth president of the United States?” “Er—ah—” Why all this hesitation, “Bill”? Well, just because Lillian did not know the assignment. But that doesn’t happen very often, we’ll vouch for that. When you hear of a great prima donna bv the name of Lillian Hogan who sings for the Metropolitan Opera Company or some other great opera, you'll know that it’s “our” Bill. Next year she intends to enter Rhode Island College of Education, and we just know that she will make good if she keeps up the good work started in Pawtucket High School. Best of luck, “Lily.” FREDERICK JAMES HOLT ( Sheik”) Motto: “What you do. do well.” Sheik is one of those quiet fellows who mind their own business. He is, or rather, was. bashful, hence the name “Sheik.” My, but when these boys fall they fall hard. There hasn’t been a dance held during the past seven months at which Sheik” has not been present. At school he is all business. He w rites shorthand better than a Chinaman writes Chinese. We all know that “Sheik” will be successful in whatever he pursues in the future. Good luck. “Sheik.
