LOUIS RIGGI lt is meat and drink to me -to see a clown. Student Council 3, 4, Social Committee 2. At the canteen, Riggi, our most promising comedian, is a familiar sight. He has brightened up many a classroom with his hilarious antics and still remains the pride and joy of all his teachers. lWell, a few of theml With his personality and ready wit, he should do well in the future. CARMEN RUGGIERI Born for success, he seemed.

In addition to being popular with everyone during the six years that he has been at Peck, Carmen has been our class president for the past four years. As if this weren't enough, he has been a driving force on the Blue and Gold eleven for four football seasons, as any member of the unfortunate opposition can tell you! Next year Handsome will be bucking the line for some college where continued success will follow easily. MARY LOU SlLVA And then she danced-O Heaven, her dancing! Band Majorette 2, 3, 4, Arrow Business Staff 3, 4, Arrow Literary Staff 4, B. G. A. A. 3, 4, Glee Club 2, 3, 4, Library Aide 4, Dramatic Club 3, 4. O--for the life of a Greyhound -that's Mary Lou's motto, Tall, slim and striking, Mary Lou came to us from East Providence in her sophomore year. Her work as a majorette of our band has been out- standing, and her happy-go-lucky and friendly ways have proved much to our liking. Natural science is Blackie's choice for further study. ARTHUR SINGLETON The quiet mind is richer than a crown. Art is noted for being one of the more quiet type boys of our class while in school, but we're led to believe he's a lot different out- side. He is very fond of dancing and has become quite an addict for roller-skating. When the year is up, Art will decide between Radio College in Boston and the U. S. Navy. More power to you, Art . 25

Rhode Island Honor Society. In the chemistry lab or in Miss Gibbs' homeroom, Charlie is al- ways good for a laugh or two, and his vibrant personality and good humor have combined to make him one of the most popular males in the class. Many a teacher and student has come under the spell of Pierre's gift for glib and fast talking-just ask Rayner! His high rating with the fairer sex should further his ambitions as a playboy, even though the lure of engineering may get the best of Pierre yet! DAVID PRYCE His legs are uncontrolled. Victory Corps I, Glee Club 4, Outdoor Track 3, 4, Indoor Track 3, 4, Cross Country. David, an outstanding cross-country runner, gained further fame this year by being placed sixth man on the All-Interscholastic cross- country team, as well as making the first team in Class B.

HERBERT SLATER I awoke one morning and found myself famous. Herb , one of the tallest boys in our class, is the happy-go-lucky fellow who came back to us in the middle of our junior year from Admiral Billard Academy. During his stay with us, he has been very popular with both the girls and the boys. Herb would like very much to becomea millionaire, but as yet he has not decided by what means. We wish you luck in that attempt or in any other you might undertake, Herb ! . PATRICIA SMITH Your little voice, so soft and kind. B. G, A. A, 3, 4, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Glee Club 4, Library Aide 3, Arrow Literary Staff 4, Arrow Business Staff 4, Volleyball Cap- tain 3, 4, Basketball 3, 4, Soccer 3, 4, Field Hockey 4, Field Hockey Varsity 4, Baseball 4, Victory Corps I. Pat may be the Senior class's A. No, I Hanger-on-a-Piano, but her avid interest in sports seems enthusiastic enough to over- balance the latter considerably, she may never prove really stiff com- petition for Ernie Caverley up at Rhode Island State, but the girl will bear watching anyway. However, we've heard tell it's actually diete- tics that shine brightest in ambition's future, so after you learn all about calories and proteins and the latest vitamins, Pat , how about skating back and explaining it all to us-via a good meal? WARREN WELLS SMITH He had a head which statuaries loved to copy. Football I, 2, 3, Football Co-Captain 4, Basketball I, 2, 3, 4, Track 2, 3, Glee Club 4, Social Committee I, 2, 3. Someone congratulate Smitty on his athletic ability and watch him blush. My! how he DOES blush! He was co-captain of the foot- ball team, a member of the track team, and in spite of the disadvantage due to a broken wrist, has proven himself a very capable participant in and a valuable asset to the basketball team. College is his future, where he'd like to continue with athletics, Good luck, Warren! We'Il all be cheering for you! NANCY SPENCER The highest of all distinctions is service to others. Victory Corps I, B, G. A. A. 3, 4, Basketball I, 2, 3, 4, Softball 3, Volleyball 3, Soccer 4, Soccer Captain 4, Field Hockey 4, Field Hockey Varsity 4, Glee Club 2, 3, 4, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Arrow Business Staff 3, 4, Arrow Literary Staff 3, 4. Everyone knows Spence . Her helpful nature and general friend- liness have made her popular throughout the school. You can always depend on her to get things done, and her tales of life at Waukeela have brought many a laugh. Nance hopes to become an occupational therapist, and her steady perseverance will carry her far-especially if she wears the alligator for luck! 26
