1922 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 21 -2 i MILDRED JACKSON FREEMAN Motto: “Strive and succeed.” One would think, on account of being small, that a girl is noticed , much less, wouldn’t one? Ah, but that isn’t the case with “Mildred.” • Although she is small we find her capable of a great deal. In fact, much would he lacking at the Students’ Club, if she did not offer her services in their various activities. A smile is often her reward in the typewriting department, but along with a “5,” of course, when she hands in a neatly and accurately typed paper. She surely is a clever little typist! This study and Applied Design, she claims, are her favorites. She also shines in Miss Hosmers class. We are sure you will never dispute the fact if you have ever heard her fingers “tickle the keys.” This is the course of study which Mildred expects to take up next vear. DORIS MORSE GABBI (“Dot”) Motto: “Love ye one another.” Listen! Hear that clear, high voice? That belongs to “Dot” Gabbi. Whenever singing day comes around, her voice can be heard above the others. She’s quite a prominent figure before the footlights at one of our local churches. She suffers a great deal on account of her last name. Isn't it queer how the teachers always have the habit of pronouncing last names wrong? We never knew them to fail. “Dot” says her motto is “Love ye one another.” Evidently she loves one of the anothers because just at present there seems to be some outside “friend” that figures largely in her conversation. She plans to go to Pratt Institute next year. Here’s to her and her future. ANNA DORETHEA GAHAN (“Giggles”) Motto: “Where there's a will there’s a way.” TREASURER OF GIRL’S A. A., BUSINESS MANAGER OF “CREEN STOCKINGS,” DRAMATIC CAST B—b—b—bang! Goodness, what’s that! Don’t get excited, Mr. Wolfe, its’s only “Giggles” mixing up some unknown materials. She’s anxious to discover something wonderful, although she’s not fussy what it is. Anne’s favorite study is chemistry, so that accounts for some of the mishaps in the lab. She is an energetic young lady, and lives up to her motto, “absolutely.” When there’s a play to put across Anna’s the main push, she has a peculiar mania for selling tickets. We don’t know how she does it but she doesn’t care. Anne vies with Marlowe for dramatic honors and has made a hit in a couple of P. H. S.’s famous plays. And at the ball games. “Hot dorg!” hear her shout. She expects to go to R. I. C. E. next fall. CATHERINE MARY GARIEPY (“Kitty”) Motto: “If you can’t smile, grin (out loud).” Meow! Here comes “Kitty.” She certainly lives up to her motto and grins (out loud) quite often. When she comes around she brings the twin germs Laugh and Joke with her and scatters them into the atmosphere. She’s a good sport and lots of fun. After she joined the noble ranks of the shifters, she nearly got shifted for a great deal more than she intended. Better be more careful next time “Kitty,” and don’t get the password mixed. She is also one of the famous designers at P. H. S. and next year intends to cast in her lot with the Bohemian colony at the Rhode Island School of Design.

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. At the age of three showed great predisposition for music and art. Graduated from Grove street Grammar School and entered P. H. S. in 1918. After great training she was enabled to reach high C.

22 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 HAROLD PERRY GOFF (“Goffy”) Motto: “Trust not too much to appearances. Look well before you leap.” “Goffy” can be seen almost every afternoon chugging up and down Broadway on his trusty motorcycle. He is an excellent scientific student, and his favorite study is science. He is shy and retiring, and has not taken a very active part in school affairs. Next year “Goffy” will enter the business world. JACOB GOODMAN (“Jake”) Motto: “In numbers there is strength.” TREASURER OF LYCEUM (4 I, CLEANER BOARD (4), CLASS BOOK BOARD (4), DEBATING LETTER MAN Jakie. the math shark, startled us early in his high school career by attempting, in partners with Orvil Robinson, to buy out the lunch counter with two bits and a broken-down shekel. After failing in this attempt, with a large vocabulary and two active hands, he tried to persuade and thump the members of the Lyceum into believing that, since Cerberus guards the entrance to Hades he must Ik a hot dog. In a later debate. Jakie, with a clear mathematical mind, went as far as to show that the revenue from the Panama Canal is worth one five-hundredth of a cent to every person in the United States. His motto shows that his favorite study is mathematics. Next year Jacob intends to go to the Business Administration College of Boston University. We all wish him good luck. tCfrjA JOHN GRAHAM, JR. (“Johny”) (Ail • Motto: “All’s well that ends well.” SECRETARY SCIENCE CU B (4), FIRST PRIZE CLEANER CONTEST OF 1922 We have all heard of that scarcity in nature man who hides his light under a bushel. Well, the class of '22 has such a man the person of Johnny Graham. He certainly makes an awful effort to keep out of the public glare, but in spite of all his efforts to play the humble worm stuff, we know he’s around all right. The saying that “you can t keep a good man down” can Ik changed to “a good man can’t keep himself down” in John’s case. DORIS LI ELLA GREEN (“Dot”) Motto: “Eat. drink and be merry. for tomorrow, not so good.” Here we have “Dot,” one of our best gigglers. She came to us from Grove Street School and has been at P. 11. S. four long years. “Dot may be seen at all the games, and she certainly believes in backing the school up. One of her favorite pastimes is whispering, especially in class, but that doesn’t worry her any, and when she gets caugrht she just passes it off with a grin. “Dot tells us that French is her favorite study. She hasn’t really decided what she is going to do next year, but whatever you do “Dot. eat drink and be merry, and we’ll always back you up.
