26 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 DOROTHY MARIE JOHNSON (“Dotty’) Motto: “Smile, always smile.” Hear that melodious giggle? Well, that belongs to “Dotty” Johnson. We think she ought to change her motto to “Giggle, always giggle.” Otherwise she's a quiet, sedate, little miss, the very pattern of propriety. She is said to have “waded” through four years of French an we hear startling reports from the French and Geometry classes as to her ability. Her favorite study is applied design. She “loves drawing, painting, and things of that sort.” The kind of painting isn’t specified, but she’ll probably paint the town red, someday, just to make a little excitement. “Dotty” intends to go to the Rhode Island School of Design next year, and train for her future work as drawing teacher. Better grow a bit “Dotty,” or they won t be able to tell teacher dear from the pupils. GRACE EDITH KAVEft Motto: “To be rather than to seem.” Grace is the sort of girl that makes a hit with the faculty. She pays attention in classes and knocks down a good certificate mark every time. Grace is a big-hearted girl. We know from experience that she is always willing to pass around the dainties that constitute her lunch. Her fudge is famous with the I-can-eat-the-most-club and would probably be a howling success if there was enough to supply the entire class. Grace takes her stand with the crowd behind the teams, and does her bit for old P. H. S. She expects to enter R. I. C. E. next year, and the future will find her, drilling needed knowledge into the heads of young America. Three “Ki’s” for Grace. EUGENE VINCENT KEENAN (“Gene”) Motto: “l)o as little as possible and then a little less.” FOOTBALL (3) (4l, VICE PRESIDENT LYCEUM (4) Everyone knows Gene; if not, they never sawr the football team play. For Gene was on the lineup every time ready to defend the Red and White. He is a quiet chap but made many friends. Gene served a verv successful term as Vice President of the Sumner Lyceum. He has a rich baritone voice and was one of the few chosen for the Minstrel chorus. His favorite study is chemistry although you would think they all were if you could see his marks. Gene will enter the portals of Providence College in the fall. Good luck, Gene. GERTRUDE CATHERINE KEENAN ( Cert”) Motto: “If you can’t be good, be as good as you can.” Here’s “Gert,” the chemistry shark. She’s another one of Mr. Wolfe’s troubles. We appreciate what a hard job it is to keep them in their place. But “Gert” follows her motto, and is always as good as she can be. Her favorite study is applied design, and in this she certainly does excel. “Gert” looks like a quiet little girl but looks are deceiving, for when she starts to talk, well, “Try and stop her.” “Gert” intends to enter R. I. C. E. in September. Best wishes!

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.

1922 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 27 CATHARINE GERTRUDE OLIVE KELLEY (“Gert’ Clang! Clang! Clang! ! ! “Where’s the fire”? That red middy is in again. Who is it? that’s our optimistic friend, Gertrude, who advocates, “Don’t waste fresh tears over old griefs.” Gert’s three accessories, absolutely neces- ry for the state of her well being, are her red middv, her Ford, and last hut not least, her Brown man. “Don't forget the game this afternoon,” is Gert’s weekly warning, for she is a loyal supporter of P. H. S. and confidentially the P. H. S. games are not the only ones she is interested in. One year later? well, information, please connect me with Gert. MARGUERITE FRENCH KENT (“Marge”) Motto: “ you can get by with a little. why do a lot.” VICE PRESIDENT (3) (4), CLEANER BOARD (3) (4), CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE (4) I hree cheers for “Marge,” one of the most lively and attractive girls of our class. Everyone knows “Marge.” You can see her walking and laughing in the halls with her inseparable pal “Lute,” or selling tags at a football game surrounded by many admirers. The Athletic Association knows whom to pick, a tall winsome blonde makes ’em all fall. Ask the fellows, they know. As a student she is a 3 puller, but as a dancer she excels, both at school socials and especially at the “Star.” Her favorite sport is keeping the mailmen busy. We wonder why? Another good time for “Marge” is when the lunch bell rings. Yes, “Marge is half-way downstairs lx fore the rest of us get by the door. Everybody has to wait for the second course, while the fashionable left corner table (nearest the lunch counter I is occupied by “Marge” and the “gang.” In the near future “Marge” will take her longed for exams for Vassar where we’ll see her continuing her brilliant career. GRACE KENYON (“Grace”) Motto: “Look up, and love, and laugh, and lift. CAST OF “CHARM SCHOOL” Yes, she looks all right but the picture is flattering. A little thing like studying has never bothered “Grace.” True, she took home two books once but that hasn’t happened very often. Just recently, she made her debut in dramatics and everybody agrees that her talent is very unusual. Her favorite amusements are taking her absent-minded friends down street, and reading the thrilling stories of the Woman's Home Companion. She also has a weakness for Sunday School Conferences. You get such gratifying results! Judging from her motto, Grace is planning to be a furniture mover, but she says it’s to be normal school. We don't know what kind of a place Framingham is, but we hope there’s a church there.
