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.

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.

14 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1920 MARY BRADFORD CUSHMAN EDITOR-IN-CHIEiP, CLASS HOOK; EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, GLEANER, ’20; ASSISTANT EDITOR, GLEANER, '19; SUPPER COMMITTEE Behold! The crowning genius of our Titian-haired “Pinkey!” After reading all the honors under her name, and taking into consideration her wonderful record of four years' hard plugging, her ever-present jollity and her charming personality, we find that our Mary is almost perfect. Almost, because, like the rest of us poor mortals, Mary has two great weaknesses, viz., football games and motoring with friends. To “Pinkey” nothing is more thrilling than a good, lively game, when one of her many heroes is starring. As for the second named weakness, Mary “just loves the front seat of a certain someone’s new car! Mary’s motto is “Eat and grow thin,” but we notice that she keeps the method to herself. XVe feel certain that Mary’s career will be a literary one, as her talents in that line are remarkable. She has a masterly way of ordering round her “underlings” on the Gleaner staff. We expect to hear of Mary’s brilliant record being continued way out in Oberlin, Ohio, next year. KATHRYN MARION DENNENY This is Kathryn Marion Denneny, brainy and as full of pep” as can be. She will not disclose what her ambition is, but we think it is probably “teaching High.” Kat is a fiver” in most subjects, her favorite being French. She is also one of the dozen who have survived Virgil. Her motto is: “Don't judge others as you judge yourself. Next year Brown University will probably claim her. ROSALIND COYLE DENNENY “denny” Back in the old days at Grove Street, little did we think that “Denny” would go through such a period of transformation. But this surely is the same young lady. At first “Denny,” like many others, saw little to be gained in thrusting herself into the limelight. She made few acquaintances, but cultivated a genuine friendship with a certain Senior. You know, “Denny, you will have to “cut that out if you wish to follow out the profession of teaching. We wish you the best of luck, and we know you are well qualified to “Paddle your own canoe” in the future.
