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.

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.

1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 17 DAVID GRISWOLD GODDARD TRACK '19, '20. GLEANER ’20, CLASS HISTORIAN ’20. PRESIDENT SUMNER LYCEUM '20. DRAMATICS '20 W-e-1-1, Dave, how goes it? Trig, all done, Chem. all done, French, History, English—Huh! A snap. Ye gods, what a prodigy! “Gassing seems to be Dkvc's” forte, as his Lyceum record shows, yet from his recent and rather unfortunate experience with balloons in “A Pair of Sixes” we should imagine that he would be a trifle wary of “gas. All seriousness to one side, he is “there’’ when it comes to scholarship, and we expect that the tortuous mazes of M. I. T. will become an open book to “Dave where next year he takes the long, long trail to the realization of his ambition to become a civil engineer. JOSEPH GOODMAN Boom! sounds the warning and in comes “Joe.’’ Joe has the most unusual habit of letting his mind wander to things other than his books when in class. He says it is only occasionally, yet the teacher invariably calls upon him in those rare moments. Then, indeed, his motto is plain: “It’s up tc you” (to bluff). Chemistry and French, he says, are his favorite studies! Well, that only proves that appearances are deceitful; who would have “thunk it ? Joe’s ambition is to be an engraver. He intends to enter Brown University next year, so you will soon see him sporting the little brown cap. LAWRENCE VINCENT GRAHAM “Larney” is one of those fellows who never worries, always looks on the bright side of life, and takes things very easy. He started off in his Freshman year as a Latin shark, but as time went on, the Latin also took on shark-like proportions, so Larney said good-bye to it in his second year. Larney is to go to Providence College next year, and in time to come he expects to write an M. D. after his name. Larney expects.to use his motto, “While there's life there’s hope,” after he becomes a practicing physician. WALTER RUSSELL GREENWOOD All hail! the great cornetist appears. Although “Russ” is an exceptionally small fellow, he is an exceptionally good cornet player He came from Broadway Grammar School, and since he has been with us he has become a very fine scientist, as he is a perfect shark in chemistry. “Russ” expects to be an electrical engineer, and his personality may be judged by his motto, “Nil Desperandum.”
