1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 15 SAMUEL RAYMOND DICKIE GU5ANKR BOARD, LYCEUM, CLASS BOOK Ye gods! Look who’s here! Our famous “Oratio,” the man who habitually writes his themes about ten minutes before recitation—and gets bv. Samuel represents that celebrated school known as Fairlawn. 11 is favorite study is history; and his ambition is to become an orator—a good combination, indeed. “Oratio” has been very faithful to his motto, which says, “Never do to-day what you can put off till to-morrow.” He expects to transfer his arguments to the halls of Brown next year, where we are certain he will make a name for himself. MARGARET DOW Well, here is Peggie Dow. Who does not know this bonnie Scotch lassie who is as cheerful as the day is long? It would seem as if her motto were, “Never trouble trouble 'til trouble troubles you.” Oh! Peg, we hear that you are crazy over dancing school, lias that anything to do with these wild stories about that dashing young fellow? This little light-haired piece of sunshine expects to enter Pembroke in the fall if in the meantime she does not take a trip to Scotland. Anyway, wherever you are Peggie, we wish you the best of luck and happiness. ALBERT DUBUC GLEANER BOARD '20, CLASS BOOK BOARD Who's that studious looking fellow who is carrying enough books for a week’s studying? Why, that is Dubuc, our prize scholar. He has taken a college course and has never yet had less than a 4. His favorite study is Spanish, but he is one of our math fiends. “Al comes from St. Jean Baptiste School and his ambition is to be “something worth while.” He expects to go to Providence College next year, but he may change his mind. Y'ou never can tell! SARAH El SEX BERG Sarah is a very little lady and very industrious. We never see her without a stack of books about half her size, but that winning and ever-present smile of hers counteracts all attempts at solemnity. “Strive and succeed is the motto Sarah will carry into the business world next year.

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.

16 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1920 DOROTHY MAY FLEMING Talk about your live wires! Here’s one, all right. Whenever fun is brewing, it is “Dot who is stirring it up. She is that girl with the wonderful mass of auburn hair and the twinkling eyes who keeps Room 24 awake. Certainly her wit is her wealth. Yet “Dot's” gifts do not end there. You should see the exquisite designs she makes for jewelry and stenciling. She is one of the stars of the Applied Design Department. As for friends, Dot has a host of them. We always like girls who make us forget our troubles, and rumor has it that a certain former P. H. S. student never has the blues when she is around. CHARLES FLEET FOSTER BASEBALL '19, ’20, CHAIRMAN OF CLASS SUPPER COMMITTEE “Charlie came to us from the prosperous city of Woonsocket and soon became one of the “bunch. His musical talent was not at first discovered, but his inseparable “Hal” will tell you that “Chick” is some boy in that line. Piano, drums, or bells, it matters not to Chick.” nor does his ability lie entirely in one direction. “Chick” is equally proficient in baseball, and can “nab the pill” with the best of them. His chief interest is in chemistry, and he intends to enter Philadelphia Textile School next fall. Good luck. “Chick. MALCOLM ANDREW GARBER Malcolm, alias “Buster, started his High School career in Woonsocket, but fortunately for us transferred his interests to P. H. S. during his Junior year. Since then he has not remained idle, judging from the number of friends he has already made. His favorite study is trigonometry. We marvel at his scholastic record when we hear him cheerfully admit that he hasn’t “cracked” a book. He seems to be a very ambitious lad. for he intends to take up Psychological Research as a life work. He is undecided as to the institution he will next attend. I lis motto is, “Sav it with Flowers.” That looks suspicious. Wonder who she is? ELEANOR TERESA GARVEY Hen- is Eleanor Garvey, but how she has changed since she er.ered P. H. S. About as big as a good-sized peanut was Eleanor four years ago Now look at her, not quite so tall as a giraffe, but getting there rapidly. However, her growth is not due to her noon lunches, for the poor kid seldom gets a bite, as her friends are legion around lunch time. Wheelock’s School expects to see her next year. With her good, sweet disposition she will certainly be the children’s favorite as a kindergartener.
