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.

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 I1IG11 SCHOOL VIOLET ESTELLE LORI) Here’s our ambitious little Violet. True to her name she doesn't make a big show, but she is a “True Blue friend; always as a liable and pleasant as can be. Popular—that’s no word for it. “Vi” excels in typewriting and shorthand, and next year will probably find her established in some busy man’s office. MARJORY LUTHER That there is an exception to every rule is proven in our Midget, for, although she is blessed with a wealth of auburn locks, she lacks the proverbial fiery temper. Once a friend, she is always a friend. Marjory and good times are synonymous. Her terpsichorean abilities are well known among her followers, and a dance cannot begin too early or last too late to suit her. Perhaps this explains why she is always so anxious to get home and read her mail, and why she looks forward to those week-end expeditions! Midge is undecided about next year. Since she has braved four years of the college course, she will probably enter one of the institutions of higher learning. MARGARET ANASTASIA MALONEY Margaret is that pleasant, cheerful Senior of Room 24 whom some people consider quiet. Surely they can't be well acquainted with her, for we have found that she is very' lively indeed. Her four years at P. IT. S. have passed without any great concern about her studies, for “she should worry.” Margaret is undecided about next year. Either the School of Design or Normal School will see her, she hopes. ELSIE EMELINE MARSH This little girl's welcome face appears bright and early every morning at P. II. S. Elsie, better known as “Sis,” never puts of! till to-morrow what she can do to-day. The first three years she didn’t know whether she would like to be a stenographer or a teacher, but she finally concluded that her ambition lay along the line of the former. The employees of the Western Union have the pleasure of Elsie's company every afternoon. She is just in her glory when she is there pounding the typewriter. “Sis” intends to continue her work-in the telegraph office after graduation.
