1922 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 23 NATHANIEL TAYLOR GRIFFITHS (“Nat,” “Grif”) Motto: “Eat, drink, end be merry for tomorrow ye die.” CLASS HISTORIAN, CAST “GREEN STOCKINGS,” “iCI ON PARLE FRANCAIS,” “THE CHARM SCHOOL (4) “Beware of the man with the dark, wavy hair.” Alas! all warnings are in vain, when “Nat” takes them out riding and exhibits that remarkable power of playing with the wheel of his Chevie with one arm and “fussing” with the other, they always fall. He even keeps a Bertilion system to avoid making embarrasing mistakes. In two years “Nat” exhausted the P. H. S. supply of subjects, and sought C. F. for friends to increase the record. He knocks oft' good marks with great ease, and is some shark in his favorite study, trig. Some one made the happy discovery that “Nat” was a talented actor and since then he has featured in three plays. On the Class Book, he displayed great abilty and we have one of the best histories ever written. With all other accomplishments and good points, “Nat” is a prince of a good fellow. Next year he will wear a small brown cap and climb the hill, with other P. FI. S. men, to study engineering. FRANCES ANNA HADLEY (“Twinny,” “Buthter”) GLEANER BOARD (3) (4). CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE (4), SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE (4) Motto: “Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. We know where “Twinny” hails from but she has asked us to keep it dark, so we will have to let it pass and salute the only known combination of brilliant student, musical genius, and talented artist. For four years she has landed a 5 in everything from French to bowling. On the side she experiments with the Exchange and has her voluminous mail sent to school for the convenience of her many secretaries. “Buthter” is a perfect sport. She loves to play tennis if there is only enough hen wire around. Every Saturday afternoon she takes little Theodore under one brawny arm and her canoe under the other, and is soon sending the “Redwing” over the surging waters of Olney pond. Next year “Twinny” will take a position as Kriesler’s accompanist and in addition will have a little studio where she's going to make border designs for policemen's badges. JOHN EDWARDS HARVEY (“Blondy,” “John”) Motto: “He can who thinks he can.” SWIMMING (4), CASTS “OUR CAREER.” “GREEN STOCKINGS,” “CHARM SCHOOL,” PRESIDENT RADIO CLUB (4) Here we have “Blondy,” the wireless wizard. He can talk, eat. and sleep radio news, and always has something to tell about what “K. I). K. A.” sent last night. He swims like a whale and studies like a shark. He manages to find time in one day for a Radio Club meeting, a Dramatic Society rehearsal, swimming practice, studying, and three hours at the radio phones. How he does it no one knows. Next year, John will wear a brown cap on his white head and will take up his favorite study, physics. Good wishes, John.

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.

21 PAWTUCKET HIGH SC MARION ETHEL HARRINGTON (“Marion”) “Have you a little fairy in your school?” Yes! Look at this “Tiny Tot from Room 29! Pray, do not be deceived, although you can hardly see her, we are well aware of her presence for she is very lively. Is there an attraction for Marion in Room 29? We think there is. Well, we’ll admit he is nice. He says, “Do your best: that's what the 'ey angels are doing now-a-days.” Crash! Marion never sighs when report time comes, but, no wonder she is happy, look at the five's. Her favorite study is shorthand and dancing is her favorite pastime. Marion intends to be a “stenog” next year. Just watch her employer get rich. Well. Marion, we all wish you much success! MARION BORDEN HAWES (“Billy,” “Dearie”! Motto: “Look up and laugh and love and lift.” Is there anybody who doesn’t know “Billy”? She is one of our dearest, sweetest, most popular girls. Marion has several admirers in both Pawtucket and Central Falls High Schools. She is found weekly at the Friday-night dances, having a “great” time. However, there are two P. H. S. students who get more of her attention than the rest. Have you noticed at recess a certain junior in Room 27. and how about the senior that sits in 26? “Billy” and “Teddy” are always together. We wonder how both will survive next year if they are separated. It is Marion s intention to go to the New England Conservator) next year. We hope she will go, for we see in her a promising violinist and teacher. Here’s wishing vou the very l« st of success, Marion! WALTER AMBROSE HORTON (“Ainbie,” “Brosie”) Motto: “Always forget what you can’t remember.'’ Good things come in small packages. This is illustrated by Ambie Horton. He is the earnest worker in 21 who is aiming for a high place and is going to reach it regardless of cost. Ambie held a responsible position as Treasurer of the Lyceum for a time, but when pleasure interfered with business, he dropped the business. He made a 'treat many friends in Pawtucket High who will always remember him. Brown will see Ambie next year. Good luck old boy and a bon voyage. DOROTHY MAY HUNT (“Dot”) Motto: “You’re young only once.” Everyone in schools knows “Dot,” with her cute bobbed hair, her twinkling eyes and her winning smile. She sits in Room 21, and has bewitched the whole room by her engaging personality. Wherever you see Dot.” you are sure to see Mary Doorlev, for they are inseparable pals. “Dot” says that history is her favorite study, but she smiles her way into the hearts of all her teachers, so that they just have to give her good marks. Next year “Dot is going to normal school with her friend Mary.
