■niuiiiuiiamiiwiiMiuwiiini 1925 Pawtucket High School 27 DOROTHY HUNT (“Dot”) Motto: “Be yourself.” GLEANER (4), CHAIRMAN SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE (4), HONOR SOCIETY, RECORDANDA (4), ORCHESTRA (1) If you’re looking for a girl with pep, an all-around sport, and one who’ll add to the joy of the evening, let us present Dorothy. 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.

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.

HONOR SOCIETY. DRAMATIC SOCIETY SCHOLARSHIP (4) It can t be—but it is. Hope James! We’ve lost our bobbed-haired “Jimmie.” But I’m not sure hut what our grown-up “Hopie” is even more adorable—but of coure that's impossible. She's certainly one of P. H. S’s. most talented—and even swimming, singing, playing and acting are not her only accomplishments. There can be no one among those who saw “The Champion” who will soon forget the captivating “Lady Gallon.” But her studying has not suffered as a result of all these outside attractions, and we find her name on the Honor Society list. Next year will find “Hopie” at the Emerson School of Oratory, and who knows but what she’ll become a second Maude Adams? (mod-bye and good luck. “Hopie.” donald McGregor Jeffrey (“Don”) Motto: “If there isn't fun. make it.” BASEBALL (3) (4), GLEE CLUB (4) Is this Donald Jeffrey? It sho’ly am! Last year he was a “sub” on the baseball nine, but he's risen in life, and now he’s pitcher on the biggest and best—what’s that?—team that the school ever had. No, he isn’t “stuck up,” even though he has such a remarkable—ahem—voice that he’s also a member of the boys’ Glee Club. When he isn't in school or practising or playing baseball, he likes to bowl and read. His favorite author is Zane Grey, and if that writer could see how many P. 11. S. seniors are rooting for him, we might get a commission as press agents. “Don’s” favorite study, if any, is history. Next year he intends to go to Tufts to study medicine, and we wish him the best of luck, and hope that he'll continue to live up to his motto, which suits him perfectly. EVELYN HOPE JOHNSON (“Evie”) Motto: “It's never to late to learn.” See that girl over there with the fluffy, yellow hair? That's Evelyn. I here she is in the midst of an interested group, talking and laughing. “Evie can talk intelligently on all the latest styles, and is quite an authority about the latest dance steps. When it comes to dancing. “Evie is always there till “Good Night, Ladies,” and then she goes reluctantly. We can hardly blame her. for she certainly can dance. “Evie” is training to In a stenographer, and we wonder if she can’t break some records in that line, especially as she admits that stenography is her favorite study. Next year “Evie” plans to continue her work at Bryant and Stratton’s. P. H. S. and the class of ’25 sends its heartiest wishes for success with you.
