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.

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.

1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 25 JOHN COLIN .MARTIN- CLASS B(X)K BOARD, GLEANER BOARD '20, CLASS PROPHET, CLASS TREASURER John is that industrious ( ?) fellow, inhabiting Room 24, who believes in “doing as little as he can, and then a little less.” Nevertheless, he gets his share of 5’s. In his last two years he has courted Terpsichore steadily, ably assisted by a Senior of Room 29. He has made many friends in his four years in P. H. S. John expects to invade Rensselaer next year. HAZEL ELLA MATHEWS Hello! Hazel. Where were you last night? No need to answer when we can do it just as well ourselves, namely: that she was “tripping the light fantastic toe” into the wee. small hours. “Dance and keep thin,” is Hazei's motto, and she advises all those who are rather stout to try this plan of reducing. Hazel has taken a commercial course during her four years at P. II. S.. and although she is somewhat undecided as to what she will do next year, she will no doubt enter the business world. SARAH MAYOH Susie’ has a wonderful smile. She is so cpiiet that we know little or nothing of her affairs. “Susie” is so small that if it weren’t for her perpetual motion and her laughter we would hardly know she was there. We have great confidence in her ability as a stenographer, and wish her all kinds of good luck for the future. RAYMOND FRANCIS McCABE M NAGER OF BASEBALL '20, ASSISTANT MANAGER OF BASEBALL '19 To watch “Mac” during school hours would lead us to believe that he is one of those “angel children” we read about, but seldom see. “Mac” isn’t so quiet as you may think. He is a member of the Royal Rooters' Society and cuts up all kinds of capers when with the “gang. “Ray” doesn't get his complexion at the drug store, but his rosy cheeks are the envy of every girl in High School. “Ray” says his favorite study is Chemistry. Well, we all make mistakes. “Mac’s” motto is, “Always forget what you can’t remember.” Judging from certain French translations, we think he takes his motto seriously. “Ray's” intention is to be a civil engineer.
