1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 7 PERSONALS S GEORGE HAROLD ALEXANDER “Who is that handsome young man sitting in the corner seat, there? whispered a fair Senior of 26 to her neighbor one day not long ago. Oh. that's Alexander the Junior ‘Whiz,’ who's taking the four years in three, replied the neighbor with an ardent glance toward the corner seat, but George wasn’t looking; he's usually that way when it comes to the fair sex—with, of course, one or two stunning exceptions, lie's intent on making a brilliant record and so. graduating with the illustrious class of 1920. Brown will receive this prodigy of learning next year. AGNES TWEEDY ANDERSON CLASS PROPHET, CLASS BOOK BOARD, CLASS SECRETARY '20, GLEANER BOARD ’20 Ladies and gentlemen, you arc now gazing upon one of the most popular members of our fair ciass. “Ness is one of the “Five Reds” and as full of “pep as can be. Eat, drink and be merry. advises Nessie, and we might add “dance to this counsel, for Nessie is a decided advocate of Terpsichore. sk Brass Buttons; he knows. When we heard that Oberlin was to have our Nessie next year we immediately deemed that college the luckiest in the U. S. Here’s luck to you. Nessie, to you and your pencil. DANA ROBBINS ARNOLD VICE-PRESIDENT DRAMATIC SOCIETY, GLEANER BOARD '20, CLASS BOOK BOARD There was a crash one fair September day when our beloved Dana fell on us from the wilds of Saylesville. Since then much of his uncouth mannerisms, such as “chinning” himself on the door of Room 17 and devastating the lunch counter at recess, have disappeared, and he has become a social butterfly ( ?). He surely surprised us last year in dramatics when he starred as the dashing hero—but, oh, that checkered suit! I fe is decidedly undecided about next year, but wherever he lands it will be with both feet, and that college will hold as little terror for him as his four years at P. H. S.

PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1920 CLASS ODE c Too swiftly, Alma Mater, These fleeting years have passed, And now with lingering footsteps We bid farewell at last. If future years shall crown us With laurels or with fame, May all our joys and triumphs Add glory to your name. We’ll ever cherish fondly The friendships we have made, And to these bonds be faithful, When youth’s bright rainbows fade. Dear Class of Nineteen Twenty, We pledge our love to thee, Unwavering devotion, And lasting loyalty. —Irene Carlin.

8 1920 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL MARGARET MARY BARRY Margaret is another of those who have helped to make Mr. Holden’s department popular as well as famous during the past four years. “Peggy” excels in stenography and is a good student. She is ambitious to get ahead in the future, and as a graduate of the class of 1920 we know she will succeed. 7 ERNESTINE MAY BAXTER Here we have Ernestine, one of the studious members of the class. For four years she has been our “rosiest” classmate. She has taken the college course, and says that her favorite subject is history, but we can't just understand how she will use this as a social settlement worker. Of course, if she becomes a singer, as she is thinking seriously of doing, we may expect to hear her selections sung in Latin or Erench, of which she was always very fond( ?) Next year, she expects to go to Brown. With her motto, “Perseverance has its own reward,” we are sure that she will be successful there, and in later life as well. LILLIAN ELLEN BEAULIEU Who is that quiet, dreamy-eyed little maid in Room 26? Why, that’s “Lill” or “Snooks,” as her friends call her. We always see her if we look for Eva. “Snooks” came to us from St. Jean’s Academy, and has certainly worked hard at P. H. S. She excels in business practice and typewriting, and we hear she desires to show her ability as some business man's stenog. Good luck, Lill. ROLAND EUGENE BEAUREGARD In school Roland is a quiet, studious fellow, but we believe that when school hours are over, he is a lively, cheerful chap. He came to us in his third year front Edgewood, and has been with us ever since. Next year each morning will see him wending his way to some business establishment, real estate office preferably.
