PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 17 ROY DONATOS. Roy has been four years preparing to meet Jack Dempsey. He has cleaned up all the heavy-weights in the school, and several not in the school. Roy’s favorite study is History in which class he certainly shines. Next year he will probably enter the business world. The class wishes him the best of luck in obtaining the heavy-weight crown. j) C , MARY ZITA DOORLEY (“Doodles”) Motto: “Eat and grow thin.” Mary is the cherub-like girl who sits in the front seat ot tlie nrst row in Room 26. and who comes in every other morning at 8:31, or later, with a look of innocence, which says: Late again? Honestly, I couldn’t help it this morning. Mary is gay, blithesome, and full of fun. and her smile is very winning. She is popular with both students and teachers. In fact, the latter like her so much that very often they request the pleasure of her company until 2:30. History is her favorite study, but she seems to greatly enjoy her study period. Next year the R. I. College of Education will be honored by Mary’s presence. JOHN DUFFY (“Duff,” “Mother”) BASEBALL (3), FOOTBALL (4), TRACK (1) (2) (3) (4), CAPTAIN (4), HOCKEY (41, RECEPTION COMMITTEE (4) “Mother” has been a stellar performer on practically every athletic team in the school, and is a four-letter man, he and Potter being the only ones in the school to have this honor. For four years “Duff” has been a star on the track team, and has collected numberless medals and ribbons. “Duff” is good-natured, agreeable and very popular; but he does not like to appear too much in the limelight, and blushes like a school girl when complimented for his attainments. John is a good student, but his favorite period is his fourth (study) period. Next year “Duff” intends to go to R. I. State College. The good wishes of the class follow him. HARRY EATOUGH ( Harry”) Motto: “The more the merrier, but not with homework.” BUSINESS MANAGER OF CLEANER (4), ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER (3), MANAGER (3), CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE (4), ONE OF FIRST FIVE IN SCHOLARSHIP (4) It might be implied from Harry’s motto that he is inclined to lag in his homework, but this is not so. On the contrary, Harry is one of the smartest members of our class, and every term he takes home a report full of 5’s. French is his favorite study, but he shines in every- subject. Harry has been an efficient business manager of the Gleaner, and of this class book. Next year Harry will wear a little brown cap. and he is bound to succeed in college.

 ■n HIGH SCHOO (V 1922 GERTRUDE REGINA CULLEN (“Cert,” “Reggie”) Motto: “On with the dance.” CLEANER BOARD (4), CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE, SENIOR RECEPTION- COMMITTEE Room 26 is justly noted for its intellectuals. Prominent on the roster and among the members is the name, and person, of “Gert” Cullen. Major among Gert’s studies is chemistry. She is taking the “heavy stuff” in order to enter R. I. C. E. some bright A. M. next Fall. In order to get in a little preliminary practice, you might say “roadwork.” “Gert”’ has developed as her favorite pastime the highly munificent job, position rather, of pushing baby carriages. But, with all this, they don’t come any livelier. A glance at her motto confirms this statement, for never is she without the tickets for sale or knowledge of a “keen time.” GEORGE HERBERT DECKER. JR. (“Sam,” “Junior,” “Herbie”) Motto: “Don’t get hooked. Stay even.” ASSISTANT MANAGER SWIMMING (3), MANAGER (4), CLEE CLUB (4) “I’ve got a date on.” “Sam” has had to say that so often in his last two years that he considered it for a motto. His correspondence rivals that of a matinee idol and we know that it isn’t all business. “Sam” was a very efficient assistant and a better manager of our mermen, he piloted to the championship. This illustrious leader, and Glee Club member, has a very sweet I ? ) voice which we infer was developed while serenading some beautiful brunette. “Herbie” is chem crazy and he rivals even, “Herbie,” Sr., in his astounding knowledge of the qualities of CS2. EDITH RITA DELAIVE (“Edie”) Motto: “Beware, be wise, be good” Here s “Edie, ’ that attractive girl of Room 26, afflicted with the terrible disease known as “gigglitis.” Evidently she doesn’t believe in the maxim, “Children should l e seen and not heard,” for we always know she is coming before we see her. “Edie” is full of push and puts her marks across with a vim. Shorthand is her favorite study and that’s no snap either, don’t let anybody fool you! When it comes to good times “Edie” is right there, and we all agree that she is some dancer. “Edie” is undecided about her future. Perhaps she’ll be an asset to some business office, more likely to some tired business man. ALICE RITA DONAHUE (“Al”) Motto: “To come to school on time is joy. But to come prepared is ecstasy.” Judging from the first line of “Al’s” motto, we should say that she never felt joyful because her arrival is usually breathlessly accomplished at 8:31. In spite of all this “Al” is a very sunny-tempered girl. She is always laughing. In fact, she is a charter member of the Giggle Club of Room 26. Her favorite study is applied design at which she has been very busy these past years, charming and making charms for the male members of P. H. S. She intends to go to Rhode Island College of Education but we think that she’ll be running a dancing school down town some day.

18 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 MARY EUCRATIS ERSKINE Motto: “Smile, smile, smile.” Mary conies to P. H. S. from Albion but, in spite of the fact, she never has been known to come in after 8:30. As a consequence, Mr. Crosbv has not had tire pleasure of entertaining “Our Mary” in the reception room. Mary wants to be a teacher and we’re sure she would make a great success, for education is her goal. She has a great many friends in P. II. S. and is a valuable member of the Senior Class. While Mary may be quiet sometimes, she is. most often, just the opposite, and is known to be a good sport in the highest sense of the word. Next year she will enter the Normal school and teach future generations their “A. B. C.’s.” ALICE MARY FAGAN Motto: “Where there's a will there's a way.” Alice is one of Room 21's stars and a bright one at that. Promptly at 8:15 she saunters in with the world-old question. “Can you do that Latin”? It is queer how many people ask the same thing! Alice is a good sport and (to all that know her) is noted for her pep. There is little dullness when she is around. She is very fond of music and if anyone wants to dance there is a general call for her at the piano. She certainly can plav jar. , to perfection. She is an ardent worker for P. H. S. too. and like the rest of the students, thinks there is nothing like it. Alice intends to enter Trinity College. Washingtton. in the fall, and though we a!! hate to have her leave us, we wish her all kinds of good luck. EVERETT HAROLD FAIRWEATHER (“Ev” Motto: “When in wrong, do as you always do.” TRACK TEAM (4) “Ev” was one of the fastest potato racers on our champion track team this year, but he had hard luck in the meets. He sits in Room 25. near his friend Macomber. He is very popular with the fellows, and is a good student. Architectural drawing is his favorite study. Next year “Ev” intends to enter the business world. MILDRED ETTA FAIRWEATHER (“Bill”t Motto: “Never put of) till tomorrow what you can do today.” Mildred's most intimate friend invariably speaks of her as “Miss Fairweather.” But you must not get the idea from that, that she is at all distant. Oh, no. “Bill” is a good sport and an all enduring friend. When she goes to a track meet, she sticks it out until twelve-thirty, even though her little pals get sleepy and go home. Mildred has a wonderful record for speed and accuracy in shorthand and typewriting, and we know she is going to make some office sit up and take notice next year. Lately she has been gazing at the world from behind large, bone-rimmed glasses much to her own disgust, but we like ’em and defy anybody to say they are not becoming.
