1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 11 ALBERT EDWARD BUCK TRACK '18, '19. ’20. TRACK CAPTAIN’ T9. '20, FOOTBALL '20, BASEBALL '20. MINSTREL SHOW COMMITTEE ’20, SECRETARY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION '20, DEBATING T9, '20, DRAMATICS '20 CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE “Al ’ spent the first two years of his High School career over in Central Falls, but has nevertheless won for himself a prominent place in the school activities since he came to P. H. S. His prominence here lias been largely due to his athletic abilities, for as captain of our track team he has brought home many a trophy to grace the walls of the school library. “Al” also starred in football, where he made his letter, and also won a place for himself as end on the ‘’All-Star team. But athletics has not been “Al’s” only strong point, for his popularity has been proven in the social side of school life as well. His ability for getting “steadies” cannot be equalled, but. after all. we think you enjoy the scenery best up on North Bend Street, “Al.” The “Peerless Four” has also given him the distinction of membership, and his ability to sing “Sweet Adeline” and remain alive has caused much excitement and comment in the pugilistic world. After a course at Brown. “Al” expects to enter a law school. BEATRICE BARBARA BUTLER CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE Everyone knows Bea, that stunning dark-haired girl who sits in Room 26. Better late than never is “Bea's motto. She is a confirmed member of the 8:31 club, but somehow she seems to bewitch even the clocks, with those blue eyes of hers, so that -Mr. Ruff doesn’t see her shining morning face as often as he might. “Bea” is very fond of dancir.g and whenever there is a dance she is always on hand. Next year Beatrice will probably continue her education in some other line. CATHERINE MARADA BUTLER If you ask us for a dainty, youthful-looking Senior with a pleasant smile and a winning way, one who is never boisterous nor bold, nor yet lacks a bit of spice, we will introduce you to “Cath. If you plead for a girl who can also see the serious side of life, who is responsible and earnest and has a good amount of business ability, we again point out our friend Catherine. Up in Saylesville they think she's great, and any Saturday night you’ll find a jolly crowd at Catherine’s house. Any hour of the day you'll hear her telephone ring. So, if you want a typical American girl, “Cath” is the girl you are looking for.

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.

12 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1920 IRENE DOROTHY CARLIN GLEANER T9, '20, CLASS BOOK committee, class ODE “What’s worth doing is worth doing well,” declares Reen. So say we all of us, but—alas! we seem to find it rather harder to practice than to preach. Not so Reen. She has been one of the brainy, peppy members of our class, full of executive ability and possessed of a winning personality. Reen's ability does not lie along one line alone, however, as her desperate hand-to-hand struggles at the Y. W. with a certain senior of Room 29 show. We expect to hear of her as a shining light at Brown, where she will take up her studies next year. RALPH HAMMOND CASE Ralph Case hails from the town of Seekonk. He has a melancholy voice, can generally be heard before he is seen, but oh, how shy he is! Ralph's little flivver has carried him to every football game, for lie’s a consistent supporter of all school athletics. His favorite studies are French and Spanish. He has not definitely decided about next year, but his ambition is “To be a Success.” In this we are sure he will succeed. RICHARD WILLIAM CAVANAUGH football, T8, T9. '20: captain football, ’20: track, ’17, 18, T9. '20: HOCKEY MANAGER, '20; PRESIDENT OF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, '20; CLASS SUPPER COMMITTEE, CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE, MINSTREL SHOW COMMITTEE Bang!!! Crash!!! With a ten yard dash and a running broad jump, “Wild Dick” lands in Room 26 at 8:28 A. M. Dick’s honors speak for themselves. He has had his finger in every High School pie since his Sophomore year. Popular—well. I guess. But in spite of all his honors and popularity there is nothing conceited or spoiled about Dick, and his persistent smile and undisguised friendliness only strengthen our conviction that his head has not been at all turned. Dick's fancies have led him from the College Course to the General, and from thence to the Scientific Course, but he expects to land in R. I. State next year, where he will turn out either an engineer—or a football coach. Here's luck, old scout.
