26 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1920 CATHERINE JOSEPHINE McGINN Have you ever noticed that dark, curly haired person who sits near the door in Room 24? Well, if you haven’t, you don't know what you have missed. It is “Cath-’ McGinn, otherwise known as Kate. Her motto is, “Better late than never,” and we all know that during her four years in school “Kate has done her best to follow it out. Take some advice, “Kate,” and change your motto, because after you enter the business world it means earlier hours. Catherine may appear to all unsuspecting passersby as a quiet and reserved young person, but You'd be surprised.” At any rate, we know she'll be a big success whatever she may do in the future. FREDERIC PITTS McKENZIE CI.ASS PRESIDENT '20. FOOTBALL '20. DRAMATICS T9, '20, TREASURER DRAMATIC SOCIETY '20 Hail, the Conquering Hero Comes! Who? Why, Freddie, of course, the noble President of our most illustrious class. Although “Mac” is fond of studying the English language, he believes that he has obtained more knowledge, or shall we say more satisfaction, from the social affairs connected with the class. Fred is now fully prepared to present himself at “Dartmouth's classic halls.” That his ambition to be a bank president will be realized is without doubt, for Fred, as we all know, served the class faithfully in the capacity of President. “Mac has also gained honor in other departments and enjoyed the distinction of breaking his right limb for our almost-champion football team. One glance at Freddie’s merry face is enough to convince you that his belief in the motto, “Pleasure first, work afterward,” is not merely a superficial one. STELLA GERTRUDE McNAY Another habitue of Room 24; Stella of the Normal Department. We’ve not heard much from Stell during these four years, but know she’s been right on the job—especially in French, which she claims to be her hobby. Next year the big yellow building near the railroad station in Providence will open its doors to Stella, for in the future she expects to become an instructor in the three “R’s.” ANNA MONICA McNULTY The tall, attractive girl with the lovely brown eyes and broad smile is “Ann.” At eight-thirty-one A. M. she slips into her seat in Room 24, for “Better late than never” is Ann's motto. One always knows that “Ann” is coming before one sees her, for she is usually in the midst of her chums giggling over some mysterious joke. Anna anticipates entering Normal School next year, but we expect that in the near future our “Ann” will be seen following in the footsteps of some great movie actress.

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.

1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 27 MARGARET MARY McVAY Everybody knows Peggy, that shy little girl in 24 who blushes so profusely when she recites. Four years of P. H. S. strict discipline have not taught Margaret that the hell rings at eight-thirty instead of eight thirty-five. But, as she says, “Better late than never.” She is sure to show up sooner or later. Maybe it is this extra amount of sleep that makes her so pleasingly plump. Margaret leaves us to travel still farther along the path of knowledge. She intends to enter the Normal School next fall. May success await her in the fulfillment of her ambition. MAXWELL JOIIXSTONE MEIKLEJOIIX Bang! Boom! Crack!! and some one drops under “Micky’s” gentle greeting. “Micky” says his favorite study is music! That may be, but we privately think his tastes run more into discords and jazz than to the classics. We have been unable to learn from what study he has derived the most benefit while at P. H. S. Can it be that he has received none? Xay! Xay! out upon the thought! Say rather that his advantages have been so multitudinous in all the branches of his endeavor ( ?) that it would indeed puzzle the Seven Wise Men to discriminate among such a wealth of choice. “Micky’s” motto is the Golden Rule. Oh, beatific child! Oh, angelic boy! Perhaps, if we knew all, “Micky's” life is devoted to the fair sex somewhat more than to his studies. He is generally considered a “hit” wherever he may be (save the classroom). “Micky” has not entirely made up his mind about his activities next year, but lie'll be there—with bells on ! ROBERT LEROY MILNE Roy is one of the most popular members of the sterner sex in our class. He is that ever-smiling chap from Room 24 who may be found nearly any night in the week whiling away the weary hours on the dance floor. Next year he intends to grace the halls of Rhode Island State College. LOUIS JOSEPH MOGELEYER Bing! Bang! Biff!! Another oil can in the room. Everybody knows that ambitious chap who just came in. That is “Mogie,” the boy of the hour. “Mogie” came to us from Church Hill and has been a consistent supporter of the Lyceum. In addition to debating honors, “Mogie” holds the distinguished office of “press agent” for the “Peerless four.” Brown will claim him in the fall, and we predict a successful future for him.
