1925 Pawtucket High School 7 ALMA DODGE ABBOTT (“Al”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” Who doesn't know “Al,” the official blues” chaser in the the school? Alma came to us four years ago and has proved herself one of the most loval and dearest friends one could possibly ever have. Here again that old saving, “Looks are deceiving,” may be applied, for Al is certainly the picture of a quiet and demure little miss, hut just let someone mention movies or tell a good joke and then see what happens. She declares that Stenography and Typewriting are her favorite studies, although she likes all her other subjects. “Al” has decided to enter the business world, and the class of 1925 wish her the greatest of all possible success. EDITH MARY ALEXANDER ( Ede,” Edie”) Motto: “Why hurry? Life’s short enough.” HONOR SOCIETY Ede” is that vivacious little bobbed-haired miss of Room 24. She certainly applies that very excellent motto, for one seldom sees her wearing a frown. In fact we can’t imagine P. H. S. without her bright, cheerful smile. Ede” stars in English, which she says is her favorite subject, but since the Honor Society List contains her name we may infer that other studies have not been neglected. Ede” is a great little dancer and is always in great demand at all of the functions of P. H. S. Next year Ede” will enter the business world, and the best wishes of the class of ’25 go with her. FRANK CUTHBERT ALLEN (“Lanky”) Motto: “Be prepared.” Cl.EE CLUB (4) Whenever you see anybody coming along the hall with a long stride and a pleasant smile you know it’s Frank. Everybody thinks he is rather quiet and bashful, but we know different. He’s really a perfect sport and always ready for a good time. Frank has a Ford sedan, and you usuallv see him at all our games. He is crazy about camping and Zane Grav's novels, and is one of those “back to nature” people. Some day wre’ll hear of him being a cowboy out West. Frank has made a good scholastic record at P. H. S.. and we are sure that whatever he does in the future will be done with the same perseverance and cheerfulness as has been characteristic of him while in high school.

All hail to thee, dear P. H. S.

I'm getting thinner and thinner” In Ruth we find at once a vamper of teachers and a devotee of Terpsichore. Her motto is very deceiving. Don’t think that she is an oversized girl. She's just pretty, plump and peachy, according to ---------------------, and he ought to know. Her favorite study is Applied Design, and it is here that she shines. Ruth expects to further her education at a preparatory school next year. Preparatory to what? To the cottage by the sea. of course. Bonne chance, “Ruthie!” RUSSELL WILLIAM BARLOW (“Russ”) Motto: “Do it well; it is worth it” DEBATING (4), GLEE CLUB (4), GLEANER (4), RECORDANDA (4), HONOR SOCIETY “Russ is one of our quiet and brilliant members. He started his freshman year with 5's and has had no difficulty in keeping up to this early-established standard. “Russ” is that member of the Debating Society who usually succeeds in convincing his opponents that they are all wrong. His arguments are often compared by his classmates to those of the great Greek orators. “Russ” doesn't study all the time, however, for he told us quite confidentially that his favorite pastime was hiking in the woods. Next year “Russ” intends to go to a commercial school or into office work. Besides this he intends to study to be an organist. The Class of 1925 wishes him the best of luck. FRANCES JOSEPHINE BARRY (“Frankie,” “Fran”) Motto: Be good and you'll be happy. but. oh. the fun you'll miss!” CLASS BASKET BALL TEAM (4), GLEE CLUB (4), TRACK TEAM (4), JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE (3) One at a time—Kindly refrain from pushing. Wouldn’t you just know that this was “Frankie” surrounded by her many admirers? “Fran has found it necessary to use the double index system to keep her dates and dances straight, and it proved a great success. She is always ready and on hand to do positively anything with fun, excitement or pep in it. Just mention the word dance and “Frankie” is off whirling down the hall with some good-looking young man, while a score of others are trying in vain to “cut in.” “Tell me. little gypsy, what the future holds for me?” is “Frankies” query, but until the little gypsy finds time to answer definitely she has said “Pembroke.” FRED WAYLANI) BINFORD (“Pee-Wee”) Motto: “Nothing ventured, nothing won” Behold our radio fan. By glancing through Binford’s radio log book one would judge that here is the chap who will, at almost any time, be receiving a message from Mars. He tells us his favorite pastime is reading. but we think that if one dropped in. unannounced, almost any time between dark and dawn, one would find him with the earphones on and a rapt expression on his face, listening to music from some very distant station that the rest of mortality cannot succeed in reaching. As for reading, when he does read, his taste runs to Zane Grey. Another favorite occupation is drawing. “Pee-Wee” tells us his next year’s plans are indefinite, but we would not be surprised if the radio world ensnared him in its net.
