1922 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 19 BEATRICE COLETTE FARRELL rBea”) Motto: “Good things come in small packages.’’ Beatrice occupies a pew in room 24. She is an expert bowler and practices often as she is desirous of getting thin. We all know that she is R. A. M.’s lamb! Who dares dispute this statement? She is trying diligently to drive the new Maxwell. Be careful of the “cops.” “Bea.” Beatrice intends to go to R. I. C. E. in the fall and become a school teacher. Here’s wishing you the best of luck. Beatrice. EDITH MAE FEELEY Motto: “Once a friend always a friend.” Edith has her hair bobbed now, so the picture doesn’t do her justice at all. Her motto will tell you that Edith has won many friends for herself while in P. H. S. and she intends to keep them. Edith selects French as her favorite subject, and we’ll say she is one of Mr. Cobb’s “standbys” in Biology. Next year is as vet a rather hazy proposition where Edith is concerned but whatever she does, the best wishes of P. H. S. are hers. RALPH RUSSELL FIELDING (“Shorty”! Motto: “Laugh and grow fat.” TRACK MANAGER (4), SECRETARY OF THE DRAMATIC SOCIETY (41, DRAMATICS (3) (4), HOCKEY (3) (4l Shorty ’ will be noted for one thing, he has lived up to his motto. He needs no description. He’s the one that writes La Mothe’s themes, does Goodman's French and still manages to keep along with the rest. He managed Pawtucket’s biggest track season successfully and plaved the best game at hockey of any one in the school. In the dramatic line “Shorty is the leader. Admiral Grice was done in a fine manner. Although “Shorty” finds time for his “Trig,” his favorite study, he goes to all school affairs, socials, dances, etc. It is sometimes said that he’s a good dancer. Wre rather suspect he is. He is undecided about college. We hope he decides to hang his cap somewhere so that we can see him often. To “Shorty” himself, “Blessings on thee. little LAWRENCE AUGUSTINE FLYNN (“Larry”) Motto: “Don’t be a crook; there is too much competition.” basebai.i. (2) (3) (4) Larry is the sporty boy ivho has competently covered the second sack on the baseball team from the time when first practice was called in his sophomore year until the last ball was gathered this June. Baseball is Larry’s bug. But, Larry is also up and doing on all other school activities. He never misses a game, and his hand is always ready to shell out whenever the frequent call is heard. “Larry” hasn’t specified where he will be found next year, but. assuredly it will be where there is a ball team to make life worth living.

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.

20 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 JEANNETTE LOUISE FORTIER Motto: “Smile a while, and while you smile, another smiles and soon there’s miles and miles of smiles and life’s worth while, because you’ve smiled.” Yes, of course you all must know who this is. Certainly, Jeannette. Her merry brown eyes and infectious smile, are sure to banish any attack of blues. Jeannette says her favorite studies are Spanish and Physics, but most of us think study period ought to hold first place. There is one thing, however, of which she has become firmly convinced and that is, she is no friend of Caesar’s, or any of the rest of his tribe. Her plans for the future are still uncertain, but wherever she goes we wish her the best of luck. STELLA BEATRICE FORTIN (“Stel”i IV « IU Motto: “No legacy is so rich as honesty. gCdd CA' Well, well! And so that demure lady is the one that cant be conducted past a movie palace (?l without force. We are surprised! We never dreamed she was as frivolous as that. But that must be the reaction that comes from the hard work which she does while in school. Last year “SteT’ was one of the few unfortunates who headed the class in scholarship. Her favorite studies are typewriting and shorthand. We sav she has courage to tackle those hieroglyphics known to the world as shorthand, but if she is to become a private secretary (which is her desire), all that is probably ne-essary. We wish her the best of success in her plans for the future. RUTH ROBERTS FULLER Motto: “Why worry?” Biographv of Ruth Roberts Fuller. I. Dates—Still living. II. Life. Born in Pawtucket.
