IO THE C during the summer months. The students of the school as well as the Alumni have always felt that a re- union during the summer was al- ways enjoyed. This was made pos- sible by the annual moonlight, but it has been decided to discontinue this and in its place this summer Cl Trolley Party is being planned. 'XVhile plans have not materialized as yet, it is expected that this event will be an unusual social one, for all summer reunions of the Alumni, pupils and teachers, have always been attended with great success, both social and hnancial. It is to be hoped that all the Alumni will endeavor to be present at this mid- summer reunion and the Alumni Association guarntees that they will not be sorry. Alfred Sear, iIO, has recently re- -covered from a severe attack of ap- pendicitis and has been enjoying the sunny clime of Kentucky. He has accepted a position there and has been very successful Christopher XY. Phelan, CX-,O7, a former President of the P. E. H. S. A., is now traveling salesman for the Diamond Match Company, Bos- ton, Mass. Mr. Phelan is well re- membered by the older members of the Alumni as one of their most popular classmates. Edmund Brown, QII, was recently made assistant superintendent of the Paragon W'orsted Mills. Edmund Pigeon, '06, represents 'the firm of Spooner Manufacturing Company of this city in all of the New England States. The Alumni wish to extend to Miss Emma Craddock, a member of the Board of Directors of the Alum- ni Association, their deepest sympa- thy on the death of her aunt. Mrs. Boyle was well remembered by a number of the Alumni and they wish to assure Miss Craddock that her loss is shared by each member of the Association. john Nugent, ex-'10, a former President of the P. E. H .S. Associa- OMRADE tion during the years 1910 and 1911, is associated with the N. Y., N. H. K H. R. R., in the offices of the road- master. Mr. Nugent had the un- usual distinction of forming a politi- cal party in the school which was successful at the time of election. He has lways been termed 'fFather of the Radical Party. Edward Roach, '05, is traveling salesman for the Charles Wfarner 8: Company of Boston, Mass. Mr. Roach has been a very successful salesman and we wonder if he ac- quired the art of salesmanship while attending the P. E. H. S., where he used to be known as one of the best ticket sellers. Anyway. we are glad that he has put his knowledge and experience to good and profitable use. Various are the callings and occu- pations of the Alumni of the school, but Patrick Dinagen has the un- usual distinction and honor of being a Deputy Sheriff. Besides this, Mr. Dinagen is remembered as an ex- cellent singer, and is often called up- on to sing in public concerts. john A. Meyers, ,II, is a reporter for the News, and is well on the way of being one of the successful jour- nalists of the coming generation. XValter Lee, '03, a member of the first graduating class in the P. H. S., is doing a large catering busi- ness in this city. The Alumni have had proof of his good work, as he served the last two banquets they have enjoyed. It has just been learned that Vic- tor Sjoberg, '1 1, the member of the Alumni who holds the record of be- ing groom's man at weddings, has been scheduled to do the honors at four more weddings after Easter. Frank Anthony, '11, is in the druggist business with his brother, Jerome Anthony, '09. Members of the Alumni: Don't forget the Alumni reunion in Lily Academy, May 1. -K. E. C.

THE COMRADE I1 Q' Lfrjearh in this nrrihnrri That examinations are hard. Wfalter Gould of the Latin Class has been recently elected secretary of the Providence Amateur Baseball League. Katherine G. McCarthy of the Bookkeeping Class will sail for Ire- land on .Iune 25th. She will visit her parents there and will later take a journey through the most famous spots of the Emerald Isle. She will return to this city in September. The Comrade extends the wish that Katherine will have a bon voyage' and that her trip will be both in- structive as well as pleasant. Anna Allstrom of the Bookkeep- ing Class has recently accepted il position as bookkeeper with the Ideal Leather Goods Company. It is rumored that three members of the C. H. R. G. will go XYest this summer, whether to teach or not Q.: yet to be decided on. The fever of Hgoing abroad seems to have taken possession of the students, for four young women of the school will go to Sweden in May and will spend the summer there. They will visit their parents and will also be present at the Olympic games which are to be held in Stockholm this summer. The four tourists are Anna Carlson, Em- ma Anderson, I-Ielga Swanson and Albertina Seagren. Two of these will return to school in the fall, and The Comrade will expect to hear of their trip in some future issue. The students who are to debate on the last night on The Land Taxf' are often seen on the corri- dors discussing some new point. This is the first time in the history of the school th at the members of the fair sex have taken an interest in debating, but then, it is leapl year. The lineup of the teams is as fol- lows: Afihrmative-Caroline Miller, captain: Katharine Coyle, Eugenie Kern. Negative--Carl Iefts, cap- tain Q John Dunn, Thomas Coyle. It is not yet known whether there will be a decision rendered or not, but it is rumored that judges will be present on this occasion. Great interest is centered in the Alumni Medal and each group in the corridor is suggesting the pos- sible winner of the medal. But you can never tell who the lucky one will be, until the evening of April 4th. The class pins of the IQI2 class are very ornate and artistic. The Seniors feel very proud of their pins and the only fear they have is that they will lose them before April 4th, The center of interest during ex- aminations. The blackboard in the main corridor. The Class in Deportment will give an exhibition of the work they have been doing Curing the past year on graduating night. The couise has proved very attractive to the young women of the school and proves the fact the course was what was needed here. The class may give a fancy dance at the annual Easter reception and dancing party. Great speculation is going on in regard to the choice of Hoor director and assistant Hoor director for the Easter dance. It is seldom that the students take an interest in this matter, but this year it seems that the old traditions in regard to leap year should be carried out, and this accounts for the interest in who is going to be floor director? A great diversion among the members of the Editorial Board seems to be having their pictures
