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.

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.

1922 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 25 Motto: EDITH MAY HUTTON (“Ede”) fytt ‘When joy and duty clash, let duty go to smash.” Well, well! Here’s another blonde member of that tribe that wends its way down from Fairlawn town. It’s our happy-go-lucky Ede.” You can see by her motto that she doesn’t intend to let anything interfere with her good spirits. Just at present, she can’t quite decide which state she likes the better. Maine or New York! She is a regular water dog and even if she does have to get pulled out of the tank with the hook, once in a while, she continues to take her regular dip. Her favorite study is applied design and she can be found upstairs almost any time polishing her silverware. Next year she, too, will take her place at the Rhode Island College of Education. We wish her the best of luck! SYBIL BALCOM(HYDEjrSyb,” Tibi Motto: “Keep smiling.” DRAMATIC CASTS (3 I 14 I Whoever invented the word pep” must have had Sybil in mind, for sbe certainly knows how to keep things going. She has won the hearts of all her classmates with her winsome ways and “chestnut locks.” Her career as an actress has brought her touch fame. We’ll say she’s some star. Outside “Syb” spends much time riding a motorcycle—-you know, the the seat in back, and going on picnics with—. If the brakes of a Cadillac squeak just the right tone “Syb” Hies to the window like a flash. Another great pastime of Tibi’s” is dancing. There’s never a dance here or at Brown that her cheery face does not lighten. Oh. those moonlight waltzes! Of course she’s a great singer and has won much popularity in our noted “super-soprano” chorus. When at home “Syb” delights in nothing better than in joining “Barb” in her “study room.” About the future “Syb” is undecided. But we know that whether she goes to college or to some other finishing school that she will surely make the name of P. H. S. famous. ALZADA MARIE JARVIS (“Al”) Motto: “Love the trade which thou hast learned and be content therewith.” CAST OF “OUR CAREER” Aha! there are Pothier and Jarvis inseperables. The one with the the bobbed hair is “Al” Jarvis. Talk about style, she is it personified. She’s quite some little actress, and thay, thomtimeth the hath the cutelh little lithp. Her favorite subjects are applied design and study periods. W'e can’t quite tell which of the two is the trade that she has learned and loves, but we think it must be design part or she wouldn’t be such a wizard at it. She surely does make some weird and wonderful designs, all scrolls and filigree. She intends to go to the Rhode Island School of Design next year and we know she'll be a success.
