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.

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.

1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 13 JOHN ARTHUR CHAM PUN Who does not know “Art?” He comes to us from Grove Street Grammar School and is a quiet fellow in appearance, but quite the opposite to those who know him well. Arthur is a good student. His favorite study is history. “Take things as they come.” is his motto, and he follows it out completely. Art is socially popular and is right there when there is a school dance on for the evening. Arthur expects to enter New Bedford Textile School next year. HELEN SHERMAN COLQUHOUX Helen Sherman Colquhoun is one of our college prep, girls who came just this year from Central Falls High. “Chemistry Ann,” shy and unobtrusive, intends to take up studies in Colby College next year. She will major in analytical chemistry, and because of her enviable High School record we know she will make good at Colby among the bottles and tubes of the Lab. MARGARET ELIZABETH CONLEY “Peggy’s” motto is “An ounce of pluck is worth a pound of luck.” This must account for her hard studying and earnest effort. “Peggy” certainly amuses her English classes with her famous recitations, beginning: “Well, er—er,” and “And er—er.” But “To err is human,” as we all know. This young lady is a commercial student and intends to follow business as her course in life. Good luck, “Peggy.” HELEN BENEDICT COXXLY CLASS SUPPER COMMITTEE Helen is one of the little girls of our class, although she dislikes very much being called “little.” But. never mind, Helen, for you know “good things come in small packages.” It is a well known fact that where Helen is there “Bea” Butler is also, and vice versa. Helen dances well and spends much time at dances. Helen is undecided what she will do in the future, but eventually some big college will claim her.
