DRAMATICS (4), ASSISTANT STACE MANAGER “DADDY LONG-LEGS” (4), STACE COMMITTEE “SEVEN CHANCES” (4) “Whose Izzie is he?” Well! well! if it isn’t our little man, sure enough it’s Israel. The youngster is only small in stature. He is a great little debater. “Izzie” can argue you into believing yourself dead. The lad is of a very studious frame of mind. He is one of our best shorthand pupils. He can play “Peter Pan” on the keyboard of a typewriter better than “Pad” could on the piano. “Izzie” is going to enter a business school, like Bryant and Stratton, or perhaps R. I. State, in the fall. JOSEPH FRANK KULICK I Speed ) Motto: “He who hesitates is last.” Here we have one of the most sensible fellows in the class, very seldom heard from unless he has something worth while to say. In spite of his quietness, those who know him well know that there is plenty of “jazz” under the surface. “Speed,” when coupled up with a gang, quickly shows how practical his nickname is. He had a hard time picking his favorite study, hut finally decided that he preferred chemistry to his other subjects. The class hopes that he will not forget his motto, for nothing would please it more than to see him come out first. Next year “Speed” will hang his cap at Rhode Island State College. FLORENCE ELIZABETH LARSON (“Flossie”) Motto: “The best way to have a jriend is to be one.” ■ HONOR SOCIETY All! here’s “Flossie,” the most lovable girl in our class. No matter whether everything has gone dead wrong, you will still find her as cheerful and gay as ever. In some unknown manner, “Flossie” is able to participate in everything and still receive her large share of 5’s. Some have even ventured to say that she is rather quiet, but they are the ones who are not acquainted with her. “Flossie declares her favorite study is English, but we think they are all pretty evenly divided by the marks on her report card. Next year Brown is claiming her, but wherever she is, we know she will never forget our class of ’25. Best o’ luck, “Flossie.” ERONICA FRANCES LEE (“Vera,” “Painey”) Motto: “Be slow to promise, and quick to perform. SECRETARY GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (4) We think that pep and “Vera” must be synonyms. At least it would seem so where “Vera” is concerned! “Vera is one of these all around good sports. She’s always on hand where theres the most fun, and nine times out of ten she’s the center of the group. We think Vera must have about broken the record of attendance at football and basketball games. She’s always there cheering as hard as she can. “Vera's” popularity isn’t limited to school affairs, and where there is dancing, there is “Vera.” Next year, “Vera” says, “Either Miss Gibb’s or Bryant and Stratton’s.” P. H. S. and the class of '25 wish you the best of luck, “Vera.”

Is that the impression you received at first? Well, suffice it to say that “Appearances are deceiving.” Elizabeth is neither shy, quiet, nor bashful; neither is she too forward. “Bessie” is fond of the Romance Languages, especially French, and it really is a pleasure to hear her speak it. In fact, we like to hear “Bessie” whenever she talks, for her voice is soft and pleasant. And she is no mean hand at reading, which she enjoys doing better than anything else. She doesn’t force herself onto anyone’s attention, but she is always ready to enter into the spirit of fun. Next year Bessie, in all probability, is going to further her education at the Rhode Island College of Education. The best wishes of P. H. S. go with her. JAMES FRANK KELLY (“Jim,” “Kel”) Motto: “For better or jor worse.” Sock! Bang! Kelly’s at his favorite pastime, throwing erasers. “Jim” is no mean shot with the padded felt oblongs, and many a neck has whitened under his skilled aim. Although this illegal sport is “Jim’s” favorite in school, nevertheless, he is a good scholar, and well liked in all his classes. His favorite class is history, where Jim rakes in a nice lot of 5’s. “Jim’s” favorite author is George Eliot, and he says that Silas Marner is a “keen story,” especially when Duncan goes off and sells Godfrey’s horse. Outside of school, “Kel” likes to play football better than anything else. He is a skilled half-back, and many a foe has been evaded by this elusive runner. Next year Kelly goes to Bryant and Stratton’s to specialize in business. Best of luck, old man. ANNA NILA KEOUGH (“Boots”) Motto: “Smile, it doesn’t cost anything.” PRESIDENT GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (4), BASKETBALL (3) (4), MANAGER OF SWIMMING (4) Crash, bang, bing! Here comes “Boots” all set for some fun. Whenever there’s anything doing, she’s always in the midst doing her share. Anna, beside being one of the best basketball players for two years, and manager of the swimming team, has nobly carried on her capable shoulders all the problems of the Athletic Association, she being president. In spite of all this hustling, “Boots” manages to devote a great deal of her time to her many friends, especially the “Gang.” Next year’s plans are uncertain for her, but whatever they are, we know- she will suceed. EUGENE OTTO KORLACKI (“Gene”) Motto: “Vouloir c’esl pouvoir.” DRAMATICS (2), ORCHESTRA (1) (2) (3) (4), CHEMISTRY TEAM (4) Ah! the big man, the man who waited until the third term of his last year to put on long “genes.” Often, in taking the attendance record, have his teachers feared that he had been lost in a rut on his w-ay to school, only to find that they had quite overlooked him because of his small stature. “Gene has literally blow-n himself to glory during the past four years, via the cornet. In the chemistry laboratory he may be often found proving to Mr. Wolfe’s utter satisfaction that hydrogen sulphide is unpleasant, or startling the class with some new theory concerning explosives. Next year he hopes to further demonstrate the powers of explosions at Brown University, where he will get ready to step into Edison’s shoes.

She is studious, earnest, modest and hard-working. “Bea” always has a smile for everyone, and we cannot recollect one instance where she did not show a broad smile on her face. Your motto, “Bobby,” is very wise indeed. “Bea” tells us that she likes automobile riding. That is very enjoyable and expensive, also. “Bea” is a bookkeeping “shark.” She has signified her favoritism towards it, too. She is the star bookkeeper (?) in her class. “Bobby” likes stenography, too. Her future is rather vague. She says she's going to be “somebody’s stenog.” How romantic! However, the best wishes of the class will follow her wherever she goes. RUTH AGNES LIBERTY (“Ruthie”) Motto: “If rife it on your heart that every day is the very best day in the year. Ruth is one of the nicest girls in the senior class. She doesn’t say very much, but she is always happy, and always ready to help others. It is quite evident that Ruth believes in deeds, not words. That is what makes her so well liked, for good deeds advertise themselves! Ruth excels in shorthand, one of her favorite studies, so intends to continue her work next year at Hubbard’s. We are very sure when we predict great success that our prophecy will come true. RICHMOND A. LIVINGSTONE (“Edison”) Motto: “Labor omnia vincit.” GLEANER (4l, RECORDANDA (4), PRESIDENT RADIO CLUB (4), SECRETARY RADIO CLUB 13), CHEMISTRY TEAM (4) “2 NaHCO, + H.SO, = Xa .SC), + 2 H.CO...” Oh! don’t get excited, nothing’s going to harm you—it's only “Edison” talking. No matter where that boy is. he's always talking on some treatise pertaining to the solar system or why the world’s round. His talk is usually above the comprehension of his listeners, but the boy sure knows his stuff. If you should see a young man in any of the corridors with a gas engine, radio, or moving picture machine, it’s “Edison.” The boy inventor is planning to take an engineering course at Brown next year. We shall probably hear of him in the future as a prominent engineer. LOUISE OTTILIE LOCHNER (“Lu”) Motto: “Variety is the spice oj life. P. II. S. is going to have a strong representation at Bryant and Stratton’s next year, and Louise is one of the prospective students. (We want you to stand up for the old school. Louise, and tell them how we do things in P. H. S. She is a fine, likable girl, with a smile for everybody. She takes her studies seriously, though, and she is the kind of girl who will bring honor to our class in the future. Don’t get the idea that Louise is serious all the time, though, for if you do you'll be seriously mistaken. She is very fond of dancing, and she can dance, too! And she isn't always serious in class, either, for she loves fun as well as anyone. After Bryant and Stratton's, we expect it will be the business world for Louise. Here’s the best wishes of the class!
