And we think of those who have heard the call To give for the flag all the future holds. We hear once more young voices gay That joined with ours in the refrain That follows the hymn and the prayer each day, And we see in our midst our boys again. We know those strong young hands are set At all the sterner tasks of war. And those young eyes our own have met Face death for us in scenes afar. We think of those who in days gone by Have fought for that flag on land and sea. And with dauntless hearts and purpose high, Won the holy wars of liberty! And we know in these days when souls are tried, Our men went forth in their country’s need To exalt that flag, whate’er betide. Sons of the fathers in word and deed. We think of the present and we think of the past, We have given our best, and we pledge our all, In life and in death, while time shall last, To our country’s flag on the school-room wall. Mary G. Osborn Head of the History' Department.

Pawtucket High School Class Book—1918. 25 (Hlafis of 1U1B. Estelle Loretta Adam. Estelle is that very fashionable girl who resides in Room 29. She sets the style for the Senior girls. Estelle is one of those jolly, care-free girls who never worries, not even if her lessons are not prepared. Rhode Island School of Design has a great attraction for Estelle. Can it he that she is fond of drawing? We think not. Estelle is a “shark” in Erench. Her hobby is dancing, and we hear that she indulges very often. Next year Estelle expects to go to Laselle Seminary. Arlo Gordon Adams. Arlo is that handsome looking individual who came to us last fall from our neighbor across the river. Central Falls. Although only having been with us for a year, he has been the source of inspiration and delight to us all? ???. Arlo took a fawncy” to P. H. S. as soon as he came into our loving care. We do not know whether we have brought him up properly but we do know that he has developed greatly in U. S. History due to his extraordinary brain capacity ? ? ? ? ? 11 is melancholy voice and highly trained eyelashes are his outstanding features and are very attractive to the other sex. Gladys Isabelle Adams. Gleaner Board '16. '17,—'17, '18. Wow! Did you hear that awful racket? Now listen for that forty horse power laugh. Yes. it was right. Here come Gladys. Sure, that is she with her crony Miss Coopy. When she enters Room 29. she usually has something important to tell her neighbors, much to the delight of .Mr. W ade, who just dotes on keeping the “young bunch of sauer-kraut” after school for fifteen minutes, because he admires that wonderful, tight fitting, vampire, purple sweater of the young lady. This sweater blends nicely with Miss Coopy's “yaller” waists, especially when the former is displaying her sudden affection for the latter. We wonder if that is the way she treats all the young men who climb the steps of that little house upon the hill night after night. Does this account for her coming to school early, and her great efforts to learn her French before the last bell? We will have to give her credit for being a good typist, and an accomplished musician. She just dotps on practising, indulging in it two hours per day, (with intervals,) but we fear if the piano were moved from that window, and she were not able to see that hand-
