18 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1920 HATTIE LIZZIE HARRIMAX Well, well! Here’s another of our old friends in Room 24. Hattie is taking the commercial course, and, as she is from Fair-lawn, she gets all fives when reports are handed out. Her favorite study is typewriting. Her ambition is to be a stenographer, and to that end she will attend Bryant and Stratton’s next year. Hattie iias rendered valuable service to the school by playing a violin in the school orchestra for three years. Her motto is 100 per cent.” GEORGE WILLIAM HARRINGTON Behold the history shark! George is small, but by no means has he a small thinking apparatus, for when it comes to history, George is right there a gale. While he has been with us he has made much of the Commercial Course, and he is one of those lucky fellows who actually gets along with his teachers. When George grows to be a man (and a success) he is going to be an advanced electrical engineer. JOHN MacCALLUM IIARROP Oh. Johnny, why are you so silent and pensive? Don’t worry, you can't possibly lose her. Though not inclined to talk, when it conies to driving automobiles or mixing drinks, John is right there on both feet. But who is the fair Elaine” that nestles rather close to her bold “Lancelot” as he rides forth in his “Overland Six” to the Sluibert? Ask John, he knows. However, this bold youth has a practical hand for business. He plays tag on the typewriter keys, and fairly eats up shop math. With such promise it is very evident that John has success ahead of him as a great business man. SAMUEL EVERETT HENRY Everett has taken almost a straight college course since he has been with us, and so next year he expects to be a member of the Freshman class at Brown. Being a rather bashful fellow, he shied at the thought of that love story in Virgil, and the third hour Latin class has sadly missed his star (?) translations this year. Chemistry, however, is his forte, and he expects some time in the dim and distant future to become a chemist. Then indeed Edison will have to watch out for his laurels!

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.”

1920 PAW TUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 19 GLADYS HERBERT Who may that young lady be that sits in the corner seat near the window in Room 24? Surely you know “Glad.” While interned in P. H. S . she derived great benefit from Applied Design. Shorthand seems to have a great attraction for Gladys, for she ranks high in that subject. Some business man will always smile when Glad” walks in. for the nickname suits the girl. You can judge this last sentence by looking at her motto, “Never worry about lessons; just do them when you get time.” If at any time vou enter a hospital and hear a patient singing, “I Don’t Want to Get Well,” you'll know who the nurse of that ward is, for Gladys at some future time wishes to become a nurse. SYDNEY HERBERT SWIMMING CAPTAIN, ’19. ’20; ASSISTANT MANAGER OF FOOTBALL, ’20; baseball, T9. ’20; Track, ’20 Splash! Here’s Sid, our star aquatic performer, the blonde young “masher” of Room 24. He’s a charter member of the Bicycle Club, which held its meetings daily during fourth period, but which was disbanded because of a “Rough” disposition on some of its members. The Agony Quartet” is also enriched with his melodious voice in that stirring but pathetic melody, “Patsy, Mind the Baby.” “Blondy” has been prominent in baseball and track— but when it comes to swimming, then you’ve got to take his dust— er, that is, his wake. We expect to hear from him later on at Brown next year. JOHN ROBERT HOLLAND JUNIOR DANCE COMMITTEE, CLASS RECEPTION Who does not know this merry faced lad, one of the liveliest and most popular members of our class? Jack is a faithful slave of Terpsichore—and, oh. how he does dance! His brow is still uncreased by worry over his studies, for his motto is, “Trust to luck.” He is the alternate joy and despair of his teachers. Next year he intends to transfer his endeavors to R. I. State or Brown. Medicine or Chemistry will claim him in the sweet by and by, he says. FLORENCE RUTH HIORNS Fluff)' is that quiet, little brown-eyed girl in Room 24. Florence doesn’t make much noise, but is liked by everyone who knows her. Her favorite study is French, but for that matter she excels in all her studies. She expects to take up music next year and later on to become a music teacher.
