22 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1920 GRACE ELIZABETH KEOUGH Demure? You said it. That’s Gracie. She’s one of Miss Wheeler’s prize pupils, and, judging from tier motto: “Get ahead of the winner,” we’ve been thinking she must be ambitious. The commercial world will receive her next year, where she will probably introduce some new system of shorthand. MILDRED CELESTIA KEOUGH PRESIDENT OF DRAM.'TIC SOCIETY, GLEANER BOARD, CLASS BOOK COM MIT TEE Hear that merry laugh ringing down the hall? That’s our “Ducky.” Of all the lively girls she is the greatest, for Mildred believes that you should never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” Moreover, Mildred is the kind of a girl who doesn’t wait for circumstances; she makes ’em, so she will certainly make her way in the world. We envy the lucky man who gets her as a stenographer. As for her ability to act. she is Julia Marlowe the second. Yes, Ducky is some girl. Ask George he knows. EDITH MARION LEE “Good things often come in small packages.” If anyone calls for Edith, she is usually found merrily clicking the typewriter in the typewriting department, or busily making a pretty piece of jewelry up in the Applied Design room. Affairs of this busy world have not caused her much worry, for she firmly believes in her motto, “Trust to luck.” We certainly will not forget Edith, as she goes to Miss Gibb’s Secretarial School to continue preparation for the business world. GORDON HADLEY LEE Who is he? Don’t you know our prize baby? Tie is our old friend “Cupid.” He is’ another of those people in Room 24 who hail from the wilds of Fairlawn. ‘ Cupid is taking the college course now although he hung out with Mr. Holden for two years. His favorite study is history, but he says he got the most out of the study of English. Lee is going to spend next year at Pawtucket High as a P. G.. and then he will attend Brown. He is a modest boy, and says that he has had no honors, but lie has forgotten that he runs the elevator. “Cupid’s” motto is ’‘Never do today what you can put off till to-morrow.”

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.

1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 23 CECILIA MARIAN LENNON CLEANER BOARD, '19; CLEANER BOARD, '20: CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE “Two fives and three ones, please.” Those are the words which ring in Marian's ears from eleven-twenty to eleven-forty while on duty at the lunch counter. She has a keen sense of humor, as some of her teachers will tell you. Of course, being a Senior, she tries hard to be dignified and demure—during class hours. But read the Locals’' and some of her stories in the “Gleaner,” and you will be assured that she still has her vivid imagination. We all sigh when we see Marian’s reports, and a half dozen fives” stare us in the face. How do you do it, “Mar?” While in P. H. S., Marian has starred in Latin and numerous other studies, but English is her hobby. Marian is going to Brown next year, and we expect to hear that she’s taken it by storm. Just keep smiling,” “Mar,” and the success you wish for will be yours. EMMA ALICE L'HEUREUX Alice, as her friends call her. is a brown eyed little blonde from Room 24. She is very quiet and well behaved, and can always be depended upon to have every lesson well prepared. Alice’s motto is, “When at first you don’t succeed, try, try again,” and she certainly lives up to it. Alice is especially bright in business practice and stenography; and we hear her ambition is to show her business ability in some office next year. We all know she will succeed. CATHERINE ELIZABETH LONERGAN TREASURER OF JUNIOR CLASS, JUNIOR DANCE COMMITTEE There's a charming, little maid Whom we all know well. Her name we do not care to tell. Why hesitate? Because she’s always late— That's “Billie.” However, her motto is “Better late than never,” so we must give her credit for getting there eventually. But to be serious, we know that Catherine will always be the most reliable person in the world when she follows the work she has chosen. She intends to enter the School of Pharmacy—later to become a Registered Pharmacist. That she may succeed is the sincere wish of her classmates.
