20 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1920 VIOLA MAY HORTON Here is our shy retiring Violet—yes, but she’s a daisy, too. A stenographic course has been her choice during her High School career, and now she is nearly ready to be turned out as a first class stenog. “Wait a minute,” says “Vi,” when questioned as to her motto, but declares that she is going to go hunting for a new motto soon. “Vi” expects to go to Magnus Business College or some prep, school to continue her business training. EDITH CAROLINE HYDE DRAMATICS ’20. CLASS PIANIST, GLEANER BOARD T9, '20. CLASS BOOK BOARD, SECRETARY DRAMATIC SOCIETY, MUSIC FOR CLASS ODE Well, if here isn't little Edith! Get the dazzling smile with which she has charmed the whole masculine portion of P. H. S. into devoted slaves. Edith has developed a strong liking for Cadillacs, but we must say she shows partiality to “Little” Coles! Studies have never seemed to trouble our Edith, but somehow she pulls down those grades—so why worry? Edith is right at home behind the wheel of a car, and as a driver shows remarkable ability, but her attainments do not end here, for as a dancer she has few rivals— and, oh, how she can d-i-v-e! Wellesley looks pretty good to Edith ; it’s near Dartmouth and the scenery is beautiful! MARY MAHER HYD.MAN May is the girl with the dreamy blue eyes and wavy hair who sits in Room 24. She goes her way doing her work in the modest, pleasing manner which has gained for her so many friends. May is belter known as “Hydie” to her more intimate classmates. During her four years at P. H. S. she has pursued a commercial course and expects to work as a stenographer when she leaves us. Hydie is especially fond of writing “Palmer method,” and any one who chances to look into Room 23 the third period will find Hydie discussing the point with Mr. Holden. May has enjoyed her four years at High School, but is looking forward to the time when she shall claim the responsibilities of a stenographer. We wish her the best of luck in her business career. MAUDE LOUISE JACKSON And still they come! Those fair-haired girls from Room 24 who find the Commercial Department the most interesting in old P. H. S. This is Maude, who hails from Broadway School and has helped to uphold its reputation while here in High. She expects to join that vast army in the world of commerce next year, and we wish her luck there.

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.

1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL LOUIS HALLIDAY JAFFEE Louis is one of our three-year sharks. He has safely weathered the storms of underciassinanship and conies through in time to make himself illustrious by graduating with the class of '20. Mathematics is Louis’ delight. Nothing pleases him (and the class) more than one of those delicious all-period arguments with Mr. Crosby. Louis expects to enter the Law School at Boston University in the fall. MABEL THERESIA JOHNSON Another fair blonde from Room 24! This is Mabel, one of our commercial sharks. We are certain that she must burn the midnight oil “up in Mabel’s room.” since she’s been so successful in her business course. Next year she will pound the keys of an “Elsie Smith” in some business man's office. GEORGE WINTHROI’ JONES Here is our champion chemist. He breaks more test tubes than the rest of the class together. He was one of those studious people who came down front Saylesville on the 6:15 in the morning. We notice that he has been growing fat since he moved to Pawtucket. Jonesie says that his favorite study is mathematics. He gets that way by figuring how much the clocks are off time so he can calculate the second when the dismissal bell will ring. He expects to go to college next year but as he is extremely reticent, we cannot discover which one he will honor with his presence. His motto is, “Beware of glassware.” RUTH MADELINE KEENE Ruth, or Rutliie,” as she is called by her friends, is of a very quiet but sweet disposition, and is well liked by all who know her. Ruth’s favorite study is French, but by the frequency of her visits to the typewriting room, we think that her talents lie in that line. Ruth’s motto is, Look before you leap, but we have a feeling that she will wait until this summer before leaping. After graduation Ruth expects to go to Canada. Next year she will attend Miss Gibbs’ School, and we are sure that success will follow her wherever she goes.
