1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 9 MORRIS CLARA BERICK 'I'he owner of “a ten cent gold piece hiked over to us Ironi Church Hill. He is a student through and through, as he has mastered the College Course in three years. His favorite study is English. Why not? lie’s a great talker. Next year he intends to show the boys at Brown what a P. H. S. graduate can do. Some happy day in the future he hopes to have M. D. attached to his name. RUTH MARIE BERRY A very obliging and cheerful young lady is our Ruth—more or less quiet at times, but when it comes to football—she can make some noise. Stenography is Ruth’s forte and next year will find her established in the business world. HAROLD NORTON BLISS From the back woods of that wild and untamed wilderness known as Seekonk. this lad came to us. But Harold has pluckily plugged his way through four years of High School life and is now preparing himself for still higher training. Textile work claims most of his attention, and next fall will find his name on the books of some fine textile school. WILLIAM HENRY BOWEN FOOTBALL '20. CLASS BOOK, CHAIRMAN RECEPTION COMMITTEE See that good looking fellow with the blond hair and merry face? That’s Filly, center on our great eleven. Late hours don't seem to worry Bill, for in spite of his frequent dates with “the one and only,” his course has been a varied one owing to the vagaries of his fancy; but he inclines toward electrical work and intends to make that his profession. Well, Bill, we’re with you.

8 1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL MARGARET MARY BARRY Margaret is another of those who have helped to make Mr. Holden’s department popular as well as famous during the past four years. “Peggy” excels in stenography and is a good student. She is ambitious to get ahead in the future, and as a graduate of the class of 1920 we know she will succeed. 7 ERNESTINE MAY BAXTER Here we have Ernestine, one of the studious members of the class. For four years she has been our “rosiest” classmate. She has taken the college course, and says that her favorite subject is history, but we can't just understand how she will use this as a social settlement worker. Of course, if she becomes a singer, as she is thinking seriously of doing, we may expect to hear her selections sung in Latin or Erench, of which she was always very fond( ?) Next year, she expects to go to Brown. With her motto, “Perseverance has its own reward,” we are sure that she will be successful there, and in later life as well. LILLIAN ELLEN BEAULIEU Who is that quiet, dreamy-eyed little maid in Room 26? Why, that’s “Lill” or “Snooks,” as her friends call her. We always see her if we look for Eva. “Snooks” came to us from St. Jean’s Academy, and has certainly worked hard at P. H. S. She excels in business practice and typewriting, and we hear she desires to show her ability as some business man's stenog. Good luck, Lill. ROLAND EUGENE BEAUREGARD In school Roland is a quiet, studious fellow, but we believe that when school hours are over, he is a lively, cheerful chap. He came to us in his third year front Edgewood, and has been with us ever since. Next year each morning will see him wending his way to some business establishment, real estate office preferably.

10 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1920 EVA BEATRICE BRISEBOIS Did you hear those giggles in the hall near Room 26? We did. Yes, it’s “Breezy.” Everywhere that Eva goes, the giggles are sure to go with her. Eva has followed the rocky road of the business course during her sojurn in P. H. S. She' iias enjoyed her four years at high school, and claims she will be sorry when she leaves. Breezy” is particularly fond of giving oral themes, and her favorite pastime (during school hours) is practicing penmanship in Mr. Holden’s third period bookkeeping class. How about it. “Breezy?” Eva’s motto is “Laugh and be happy, and she helps others along that line, by chasing away the blues. She expects to enter the business world after graduation. ALICE DOROTHEA BROOKE Here’s our pride—clever little “Al from Room 26! “Al” always wears a smile. Even on Monday morning, when all the rest of the room have settled down in gloomy silence, Alice appears cheerful. But there’s a reason! Applied design has attractions for “Al,” and her ambition is to become an expert jewelry designer. Go to it, “Al.” DOROTHY SHERBOURNE BROVYiY Dorothy Brown—the friend of everybody—unknown bv nobody! She is a very quiet ( ?) black haired damsel who has pursued the normal course thruout her four years at P. H. S. In addition to the studies included in this course, she has taken four years of Latin and in return has received remarkable marks. In Virgil class Dorothy can always be counted upon to answer the hardest of questions. However, she does not spend all her time studying and she is exceedingly fond of a good time. Next year Dot will become a traveller. Every morning she expects to journey all the way to that imposing yellow building at the foot of Capitol hill in Providence. Good luck. Dot. ANNA JOSEPHINE BURNS Oh ! No! Anna is not as quiet and dignified as she appears. When she is with her pal from Room 24 and the other one across the hall she adds to the general disturbance. When these three get together they are the despair of their teachers.. When Anna is alone she is generally hunting up some information for her English class or taking a last glance at her history or French book, and it is a sad occasion for her when a mere 5- falls to her lot. “Nan” considers going to Normal School, but her unmistakable business ability leads us to believe she may follow a commercial career. We know she will be successful whatever course she may take.
