Jerry is one of the few who have attained honors in the intellectual held as well as on the athletic field. As captain of our basketball team last year he brought honor to himself and to the school. He plans to continue his studies at Brown Univer- sity where we are sure success awaits him. PRESCOTT HOWARD ALLEN Vi7hcn l became a man. I put away childish things. This may well apply to Pret. For three years we had laughed at Pret's antics and been entertained by the many toys with which he amused himself in class before the teachers contqscared them, Btit to our amazement last September, he became a man and put away all childish things. He never has to be admonished now, and consequently his marks have risen appreciably. though they have never been unnecessarily low. He intends to follow his natural ability and become a chemical engineer. and we know he will succeed. HOPE GORTON ANTHONY Baseball fl. 2. U.

THE CRIMSON 5 Editorial This year's CRIMSON. we trust. marks the period of larger and better annual publica- tions here at East Providence High School. Vile have endeavored to make this book a little bit less conservative than its predecessors. A Leatherette cover, informal snapshots. cuts of all our championship teams. a different arrangement of senior photographs are a few of a great many changes that we hope will be welcomed by our subscribers. XVe have endeavored to make this book truly representative of our class and our school. lt is by no means perfect. but we be- lieve that it points a way to something better. that it will spur other classes on to far excel our pioneer effort. To the Seniors this book will seem to keep always fresh in our minds those good old days spent at East Providence. Even now. as graduation day approaches and with it the cul- mination of the four years we have spent in good old E. P. H. S., we longingly and some- what sorrowfully look back over this long period. Vvle now realize the happiness and good times We have had. and how hard the teachers have worked to increase our knowledge. As we are about to depart, our hearts are filled with sorrow at the thought of leaving E. P.. and we begin to feel kindly toward those Latin sight translations. and problems in physics and geometry. We believe we have made a record in our studies and on the athletic field worthy to be proud of, and we leave this record as a model for the next year's class.

Honorable classmates. worthy fellow students gentle readers. and friends: I take great pleasure in introducing to you Junior. the star debater and champion public-speaker of 1927.

Second. he is per- suasive-behold the number of advertisers from Riverside rep- resented: third. he is active-ask any member of the CRIMSON board about its meetings: fourth. he is weightv-he knows where the freight elevators run: hfth. he is frank and open- he abhors a clam: lastly. he is experienced-look at his honors in dramatics. prizefspealsing. and debating Bates College will receive him in the fall, I thank you.
