Remember what a perfect rig she had Freak Day? Doris certainly lives up to her motto, as she is the most cheerful girl in the class, and the head arbitrator of all quarrels, serious or insignificant. She was one of the first to join the Glee Club, and is a loyal supporter of Mr. Ladd. “Jackie” is not sure of her plans for next year, whether she will decide to brighten somebody’s office, or attend a librarians’ school. Whatever she decides to do, we know she’ll do it successfully, and will never forget her class in P. H. S. ROBERT KENNEDY HOOD (“Bob”) Motto: '‘What other fools have done. I can do. “Listen, my children, and you shall hear” not about Paul but about “Bob” himself. You know he went to Barrington High most of his senior year and from what we hear he must have been quite an important person down there. He went out for dramatics and debating and all that sort of thing. “Bob” likes English and history, and next year he’ll probably continue these studies and one or two more perhaps, at Rhode Island State College. He’s an ardent radio fan and may invent a “special model” some day. You never can tell, as Captain Kidd said to the dead pirate. However, 1925 wishes “Bob” the best of luck in everything he undertakes in the future. ELIZABETH TAYLOR HOWES (“Lib,” “Libby”) Motto: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. HONOR SOCIETY “Libby,” one of our more quiet members, is seen most of the time around room 29. Although she is quiet, she is “right there” when it comes to penetrating into the depths of Ovid, or following the travels of that worthy hero, Aeneas. She claims that French is her favorite study, yet, when she isn’t studying you may surely find her deep into the plot of some exciting novel by Charles Major. Next year “Lib” plans to go to Brown, and we all hope that she will go through there with as many flying colors as she did P. H. S. GEORGE HULME (“Georgie” I Motto: “Don’t say it, do it.” HONOR SOCIETY George is one of the more quiet members of our class, but we understand that he studies a good deal, so that probably accounts for it. George is one of the Pleasant View boys who for four years has made the long trip every morning. George is one of our radio sharks. Yes, he spends his spare time “tuning in” on his radio and we hear that he has wonderful luck. George has always led in his scholastic standing, in spite of his fondness for tennis and dramatics. He has followed the commercial line of study for four years and next year is anticipating either continuing his studies at business school or securing a position in an office. Good luck, George.

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.

Conscientious as chairman of the Supper Committee, she is also excellent in her studies and always ready for fun. Dot” is one of the few who keeps Latin IV on the school curriculum. She claims, however, that she prefers English, and a glance at her report card would show us why. We konder if she has forgotten the public speaking class already? Impossible! Next year, she will climb the hill to Pembroke, and incidentally wake the place up. MARGUERITE HUNT (“Marge”) Motto: “There is so much good in the worst of us. and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us.” DRAMATICS (4), GLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4), SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE (4), HONOR SOCIETY “There goes Marguerite. No, it’s the other one. No it isn’t either, it’s ‘Marge.’ She’s just a little bit taller than her sister.” This puzzling situation arises about fifty times a day. It is really very difficult even for the faculty to tell them apart. Anyone who saw “Daddy Long Legs” cannot forget that stately matron named Mrs. Pritchard, so well interpreted by “Marge.” Next year she will enter Brown, and probably some day she will be back in Pawtucket High School, not as a pupil, naturally, but as one of the faculty. We wish you all the luck possible, “Marge,” when you leave high school to enter the gates of college. EDWARD B. JACKSON (“Spike”) Motto: “If there's anything worth doing, it’s worth doing well.” HONOR SOCIETY “Spike” is one of the few fellows who doesn’t have to study hard, yet he is a member of the Honor Society. Notwithstanding his outside activities, he always finds time to follow the athletic teams and to step around at the school functions. “Spike” and his friend Wilson are often seen motoring along the highways always accompanied by some (boy ?) friends. “Ed” also spends much of his time yachting on the Bav and several parties from school have enjoyed Sunday trips with him. “Spike” always endeavors to live up to his motto in everything he does and he is one of the hardest workers in the school. “Eddie’s” favorite study is French and, although he does well in all his studies, French is his best bet. “Ed” goes to R. I. State next year, and we know that he will be a success there also.
