CLASS BASKETBALL (2) (3) (4) Petite, vivacious “Buddy”! Always the center of attraction. School activities make up a great part of “Bud’s” routine, especially where dancing is concerned. Even though she is devoted to tripping the light fantastic, her studies are never neglected. Her favorite subject is English if marks have anything to do with it. Other things also claim “Bud’s” attention at school, as anyone passing 21C at a recess hour could readily see. We know that everyone in old P. H. S. will miss “Bud's” smile, but if any of us come back next year, we will probably meet her, as she intends to take a P. G. before continuing her studies at Brown. ALFRED EARL BINFORD (“Al”) “A1‘ is one of the tall, cpiiet members of our class. However, he is well known throughout the school by his genial personality and ready wit. Although “Al” does not spend much time in school, he has accomplished a great deal in the two years that he has been here. We do not know what he intends to do next year, but we feel sure that he will come out on top. Best of luck, “Al.” GLADYS MARION BLISS (“Glad,” “Seekonk”) Motto: “Never do tomorrow what can be done today BASKETBALL (4), GLEE CLUB (4) Gladys, the friend of all, is rather quiet while in the class-room, but she makes up for it at the proper time. No game would be complete without her in the front line cheering our boys and girls. For the past four years “Glad has travelled daily from Seekonk to P. H. S., never thinking the weather too unfavorable even in the season's worst snowstorms. Next year we will see her resuming her studies at R. I. C. E. and the best wishes of her classmates go with her. ALFRED HENRY BOOKER (“Al”) Motto: “Qui vivra. verra DRAMATICS (3) (4), “GREEN STOCKINGS” (4) Who is the versatile young man who can so easily and realistically take the part of a boy in his 'teens or an old man Why, “Al” Booker, of course. “Al” has been in practically every Dramatic Society play for the past two years. Perhaps most of us will remember him as the eccentric “Cappv Ricks,” which part “Al” acted remarkably well. Although “Al” has not been on our debating team, he can debate and has much knowledge of parliamentary law. He is undecided as to his next year’s plans, but we are sure that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. Good luck. “AL”

iimiiii Pawtucket Senior Hich School 1926 11 MURIEL RUTH BAILEY Motto: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” ORCHESTRA, CLEE CLUB (4) Muriel is one of our quiet, demure classmates. Although she is not very widely known, her own circle of friends finds her a pleasing and agreeable companion. Muriel is an accomplished pianist, and is greatly interested in music. She has her own particular place in our Orchestra and Glee Club. Next year will find Muriel at Bryant and Stratton’s, and we know that she will follow out her motto there as well as she has done at P. H. S. EMELINE BUXTON BALLOU (“Em”) Motto: “Why worry?” HONOR SOCIETY Emeline quiet? Oh. no she isn’t! You may have that impression if you don’t know her, but all her friends agree that she is lively. She came to us from New Haven one day in our Junior year. Emeline is one of those bright pupils who never take a book home but who can alw'ays show you a report card that will dazzle your eyes. Her favorite study is applied arts and next year the Rhode Island School of Design will be her port. DOROTHY BARROWCLOUGH (“Dot.” “Dotty”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble ’til trouble troubles you.” “Dot” is one of our expert “smilers.” If you don’t know her, you get the impression that she is rather quiet, but then, that’s for people who don’t know her. Her favorite subject is English. She is at the height of joy when she is skating, although she enjoys all other athletics. “Dot” intends to be either a stenographer or a bookkeeper. She hasn’t decided which, yet, because she likes both subjects so well. She is a conscientious worker and P. H. S. wishes her success. JESSIE BARSAMIAN (“Red,” “Jess,” “Bones”) Motto: “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Jessie is like a restless, seething wave, for she is never quiet. We cannot imagine that we could take her on ornithological trips; that is, if we particularly wished to see the birds. Have you ever known of Jessie’s coming toward you silently? No. Her approach is usually heralded by a shriek of pleasure or impatience. Jessie intends to earn her livelihood by stenography, and we hope that she will be a shining success.

CLEF. CLUB (4) You’ve all seen that girl down at the third period lunch who carries a tray laden with food enough for ten. haven’t you! Well, that s Harriet, our promising young poet. She writes many poems hut only her best friends ever see them; it’s a pity the Gleaner doesn’t catch her. Harriet’s favorite period is the one she spends for lunch, only its not long enough for her. She hopes to take up journalism next year at Brown. Good luck. Harriet, see you in the limes. HOPE BRADFORD (“Hopeless,” “Hoppy”) Motto: “Stop! Look! Listen! Hut not on the way to lunch” Hope would lead one to believe that she is shy and quiet, hut that is not so, for when she is among her most intimate friends she is quite another person. If you are lucky enough to be one of her close friends you know her as a jolly and fun-loving girl. One could hardly speak of Hope without mentioning her inseparable pal, “Sis. They certainly are the Siamese Twins. If you see one of them somewhere, you are sure to see the other, too. Hope intends to start life as a business woman. We wish you tin best of success, Hope. HERBERT ARTHUR BRADLEY (“Herb”) Motto: “Keep smiling” GLEE CLUB (4) Bradley is one of those studious, good-natured fellows who sits in Room 21C. He is one of the very few that are never late for school— not a bad habit. Bradley says he hasn’t any favorite subject hut we think he likes history the best. After school and evenings he works in a drug store, and he plans to go to a School of Pharmacy in the near future. The students of P. H. S. wish him the best of luck. ALBERTA ZITA BRENNAN (“Bert”) Motto: “Never worry” CAPTAIN CLASS BASKETBALL (4). TRACK (3) If you can count “Bert ’ as one of your friends, you are certainly lucky. You can’t be blue when she is around for she comes bouncing along with her contagious smile that catches everyone, and chases your troubles away. She is the kind of person who always manages to face her troubles with a smile. “Bert” has great school spirit, too. and she always supports the various activities with the usual “gang of girls. Her hobby is dancing the Charleston, usually accompanied by her own singing of some popular song. Believe me, you can’t heat her either. The Normal School will probably see her next year and we hope she has the best of luck. Smile on, “Bert.” and the world is bound to smile back to you.
