H. S., we say farewell. Farewell our Alma Mater sweet, Life calls us with a beckoning hand— To hasten our reluctant feet. For four short years thy portals fair, Have kept us safe from harm and strife, And now the time has come when we Must take our places in the fight. Dear P. H. S., the time is here, When our good-byes must fain he said. When we must seek a better road, To win Life’s laurels for our heads. For some, bright Fame shall shine serene Upon the glory thou hast made, And we who find not Fame shall walk As thou hast taught us—unafraid. Dear P. H. S., thy gentle hand Has kept us ever steadfast—free, And all the ideals we have sought Through four bright years—we owe to thee. Grant we may keep thy banners high. As high as they were kept of yore. And keep the standards thou hast taught. The Class of Nineteen Twenty Four. Dear P. H. S., we say farewell— We vow to keep thy teachings safe. And though we pass from out thy gates, We shall not fail—but keep the faith. Unswerving loyalty and truth Shall follow us—although we part. And thy loved memory we’ll keep Within the chambers of our hearts. —J. Geraldine Payne. 1924 iMIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIUII|U|||ni|||MIIIIII!IIIIMIIIIIilMlllirillllllll!mil|lJIMMIIIHIIIIIIIIIUIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIillllllllllNIIIHIMIU!llltlllinillllllllinilllllllBllliniMIMIIIIIIIIIIIIII.IIIIIIIIII!IMII!in.lllllllll!l!lll|y|linilllllllll!! l!MIIIIIIIIIIUIIIieiinMU Pawtucket High School iiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiuiMmiiiNiiiuiiiKiiiiiniiiiitiiiNiiiinmiitiiiwiiiNiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiaiiiiNtiiiNMiiiiiiniiiminHtiiiiNiiinmiiiimNiimiuHiiiniiiHiiin 7 ALMA CECILE ADAM (“Al”) Motto: “There is luck in leisure.” Whatever would we do without Al? Her cheerful (and winning) smile can make the dullest hour seem bright. At our dances, meets and games, Al is always surrounded by hopeful admirers. Her reputation for brilliancy, however, is not confined to social activities. She is one of the speediest typists that P. H. S. has ever developed. Al is also deeply interested in art, and her work in applied design testifies to the fact that she has no small amount of artistic ability. When vou're looking for a good sport, a perfect dancer, and a wonderful friend—all hail to Al Adams, Room 27. P. H. S., ’24. Next vcar Al will probably attend the Rhode Island School of Design. RUTH MERLE AITKEN (“Rufus”) Motto “Forgive and Forget.” Ruth is one of our very quietest members. She is very much interested in Domestic Art and we are told that she is a very good cook. What a housekeeper she would make! They say, Ruth, that the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Look out, boys! Ruth is very popular among the girls, especially in the morning. You see, she possesses the largest mirror in the school. Perhaps that accounts for the boys who are seen in that region every morning. We feel sure Ruth w ill make a success in whatever she intends to do next year and wish her all the luck possible. HELEN CURTIS ALDRICH (“Helen”) Motto: “Smile—it won't hurt much.” Helen is a great lover of music, and she is very talented, as those who have heard her sing can readily say. She likes many other things besides, for Mali Jongg has its place among the games, and then she is particularly fond of reading when she has an exciting tale—of course, no other kind would do. Helen says that her best-liked studies are English and applied design, hut it has been noticed that her other ones are not neglected. In all probability. Helen will proceed further into the technique of music, vocal and piano, in the coming year, and who knows what may be in store for this promising artist of the class of ’24. 8 1924 iiiiiiiiuiiiiuiiiHiiiiniiiMiiiniiiiHiiiiatiitfiiiiiiiMniiiiiiiiliitiiiniiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiitiiiniiiiiiiiiiitiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiitiit Pawtucket Hich School HOPE MARIAN ARNOLD (“Hopey” “Kid”) Motto: ''Laugh and the class laughs with you; stay after school and you stay alone.” No—Yes—Can it be? Why, it’s little “Hopey” Arnold, the “Farmer” of Room 27. Who said she was quiet? Her circle of intimates could assure you that demure Hope is quite the opposite. She is one of our best rooters and has missed few sport events during her high school career. Every player knows when Hope is present. She isn’t very big, but iny, how she can yell for P. H. S.! Come one, come all. here's three good ones for “Hopey” herself. Hope is one of the most popular girls at P. H. S., and her numerous friends include both teachers and students. Next year Hope will probably enter some business office. Good luck and the best of wishes go with you, Hope. DOROTHY ARNOLD (“Dot”) Motto: “Smilin' Thru.” ASSISTANT MANAGER BASKETBALL (3), MANAGER SWIMMINC (4), SWIMMING TEAM (3) Here’s another specimen of the kind of people whom Garden Street sends forth. Dot’s one of the healthiest girls in school—there isn’t a spare moment that she doesn’t spend outdoors. In the winter, she’s an adept at fancy skating; in the summer, a skillful swimmer, winning life saving tests; in the spring, a devotee of tennis; and in autumn, a never failing figure in our cheering section. Her record as a Girl Scout is one to be envied. Dot’s smile and her cheerful disposition are contagious, and she and her friend “Dot” are always chuckling over something amusing. This fall, “Dot” expects to join the many who will attend the State Normal School. JOHN NELSON ARNOLD (“Jeff’i Motto: “Don’t cross bridges until you come to them.” John is that quiet fellow whom you often see during recess in earnest discussion about radio with some other science shark. “Jeff” has been interested in radio from its very beginning and was one of the first real radio bugs in the school. Besides chemistry, he is fond of mechanical drawing and is one of the stars in that department. He is rather quiet in school, hut when it comes to camping, his friends will tell you that you could not find a better companion than “Jeff.” He has not made any definite plans for the next few years, hut if he works as hard as he has here, he is sure to be successful. NORMAN MILLBlRY BANKART (“Shorty,” “Norm,” “Bank”) Motto: “Never do today what you can do tomorrow.” BASEBALL (41, BASKETBALL (4), SWIMMING (3) (4) “Turn around, Bankart!” Ah, that stocky individual is the notorious “Shorty,” who’s always whispering during class periods. That doesn’t mean that he’s a quiet chap in the halls. Procrastination holds good for him except where athletics are concerned. “Bank” has limited himself to football, track, baseketball, and swimming. Why—the Y gym and Slater Park w'ould be desolate without his presence. Norm has made some big splashes in the swimming world and we know that we’ll hear of him in the future. “Shorty” is popular up at school with everybody, a fact which is partly explained by his dancing ability. Dartmouth will claim Norm next fail when he’ll begin to study intensively. 1924 Pawtucket High School 9 iiimiiiitiiiittiiuniiniiimiiimitimiuiiiinitiitininiiiiiiiiiiiiiiituiiMiNiMUinuiiMMHiiiiiuiiiMiiMHiMiiiuiiiiHiiii.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiinHinniiuimuiiiiiiiiinniaHianinaitaM HELEN MARIE BARRETT (“Helen”) Motto: “Smiling Through ” Whenever a group of giggling girls (emphasis on the giggling! makes itself obvious in the corridors, you can always find Helen in the midst of them, telling a “perfect scream” of a story, usually quite unrecognizable from its former self, because of Helen’s cleverness at improvising. Perhaps this accounts for her popularity with both sexes, the more so because of her readiness to laugh even when the joke is turned on herself. Helen is also much in evidence at all the games, though perhaps there's a deep reason for this. R. I. C. E. will claim Helen next fall, and in a few years we expect to see her escorted home by a group of eager youngsters. URSULA MARY BERTOLACINI (“Bert”) Motto: “Variety is the spice of life. Here is Ursula, known to her friends as “Bert.” She is a quiet girl, at least she is in school. We are told that her favorite amusement is dancing and that she prefers it to anything else. Well, we can’t blame her for that. However, “Bert” likes school, too. We think it’s English. How about it? Anyway, “Bert” is an all-round good scout, and we know she will succeed in the business world as she has at school. As private secretary is the goal of every successful stenographer, we hope that Ursula will quickly attain the mark. LOUIS ALBERT BIRON (“Bozo”) Motto: “Do tomorrow what you cant do today” ORCHESTRA (1) (2) (3) (4) “Bozo” is one of our really talented classmates. He takes an important place in our orchestra and the sweet, clear tones of his violin always make the selections rendered by that body a success. Biron came to P. H. S. from the James C. Potter School and has l een a good student, a good sport, and a fine fellow. When asked what his favorite studies are, “Bozo” good-naturedly replies, “All of them!” Radio, tennis, and automobiling are Louis’ favorite pastimes and we frequently see him jazzing around at a terrific rate of speed in his sporty looking auto. Indeed, Biron has the best wishes of the class of ’24 for whatever he may do in the future. RALPH EMERY BLACKMAR (“Blackie”) Motto: “Play the game.” FOOTBALL (2) (3) You will recognize “Blackie” as the fellow who is present at all games, either a loyal supporter or, in football, in the thick of the scrimmage. W hen in school he may be found in or near Room 27, which proves that he likes good company. If you really would like to hear him talk, mention radio to him. What he doesn’t know about that isn’t worth knowing. “Blackie” is great on society. He goes to all the dances and social functions, and is the envy of all newcomers to social life because of his ease of manner and popularity. “Blackie” is undecided as to college. The best wishes of your class follow you.

Well, that’s our Grayce. Those dimples are the undoing of many a student, for it is a much easier and more fascinating occupation to watch dimples than to study. Gravce’s motto might have been “slow but sure,” for the accuracy of her shorthand is phenomenal. And Grayce is a busy girl. At least, so it seems when you try to call her on the telephone. She is to attend Gibbs’ Secretarial School next year, and if present indications are correct, she will be a most capable and efficient private secretary. VIRGINIA THEONE BROOME (“Gin”) Motto: Honor and fame from no condition rise. Act well thy part; therein the honor lies” VICE-PRESIDENT A. A. ill. CAPTAIN BASKETBALL (3) (4), SWIMMING (3), BASKETBALL (3) (4), VICE-PRESIDENT DRAMATIC SOCIETY (4), DRAMATICS (3 I (4), CHAIRMAN SENIOR RECEPTION (4l. VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (4), STAGE MANAGER “MICE AND MEN” ( 41 Whenever you hear a good hearty laugh or see an attractive looking girl, large of stature, striding majestically through the halls of P. H. S., you can l e sure it’s our Virginia. She's one of the most popular girls of our class. Sweet sixteen and never been—what's that? For four years she has been swimming and playing basketball for us. She s a great scout and a perfect dancer. You never fail to find her at school activities rooting loyally. How she steps around so much and still pulls down good marks is beyond us. but we guess it's because she intends to enter R. I. State in the fall. Anyway, she’s capable of making a place for herself, and P. H. S. gives her the best of sendofTs. FREDERICK WILSON BROWN (“Rick,” “Cutie,” “Brownie”) Motto: “It can be done—but try and do it.” Ladies and Gentlemen, behold our own “Brownie!” Fred is a good student, but the teachers don’t recognize the fact, so he has spent four strenuous years in dear old P. H. S. When Rick first came to school in knickers and Buster Brown collar, the girls called him sweet; now he has discarded the collar, but retains the knickers and the girls call him Cutie. You often see him in company with Dixon or Doyle raising a rumpus in the corridors. Brownie will settle down next year, and learn to be a dentist. The best wishes of the class of ’24 follow you. Brownie. Don’t forget the Why Worry Club.

No dance is a success unless “Brownie” is there “to trip the light fantastic.” Brownie understands the weaker sex, as well as the mysteries of the laboratory. Our young chemical prodigy will some day be Edison II. Brown states that math and chem are his favorite subjects, but the way he rolls along in French assures us of his success in that language. “Sid”, has been a staunch supporter of high school activities. He intends to honor M. I. T. with his presence next September. P. H. S. certainly wishes you loads of luck in your undertakings, “Sid.” MARY RITA BUCKLEY (“May”) Motto: Hitch your wagon to a star.'' May is another one of our quiet members. You know her, a black haired girl who sits in room 27. She is very studious, a fact which is apparent from her lessons. Her favorite subject is French, but we are inclined to believe that she likes English somewhat. She intends to go to Normal School next year. Someday we may see her with her pretty hair pulled back and her face sternly set, gazing over her “specs” at some impossible youngster who just won’t behave. We hope, however, that she will stay as sweet as she is now, and we wish her all luck. BERNARD JOSEPH BURNS (“Barney”) Motto: Let the next period take care of itself.” MANAGER HOCKEY (4), TRACK (1) (2) (3) (4), CAPTAIN TRACK (4) Hail, Captain Burns! Barney has followed the movements and activities, as a participant, of the track team throughout his four years at P. H. S. His persistent efforts as captain this last year have helped greatly toward the team's fine record. He was a sure point winner in every meet, the shot put being his specialty. Sometimes he’s here and sometimes there, but most of the time he’s around where there’s anything doing. He’s a quiet, unassuming fellow, and means business in everything he tackles. If all goes well. Barney will enter R. I. State in the fall. P. H. S. wishes him the best of success. FREDERIC JOSEPH BURNS (“Fred”) Motto: Love 'em all hut marry none! MANAGER TRACK (4), ASSISTANT MANAGER TRACK (3) Fred is the fellow with the red and green plaid socks and the never failing grin, who can always put a piece of chalk to other uses than writing on the blackboard. His pep and good nature enable him to get away with anything, however, and have made him well-liked by all who know him. As for the girls, he follows out his motto very well! He has always been a hearty supporter of school athletics, and has managed the track team very capably during the past season. It may be Providence College or some other for Fred next year, but wherever he goes, we’re all behind him. 1924 12 i H Pawtucket High School miniiiimiiiMiumiiinitiHUiMiiiHuunniHniimmuiiiiiiiiiiMHiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiii MARJORIE MAY CARNIE (“Marjie”) Motto: “If in doubt, dont say it” DRAMATICS (4 I, GLEANER (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY Did you say “Marjie?” Oh. yes, here she is, a girl who is known by all and is a friend to all because of her pleasing disposition. “Marjie” is especially good at cheering you up. She is rather quiet while in the class room, but just the same she's full of fun. Despite this, she never neglects her studies in the least. And her stories! How interesting they are! Most of us are jealous of “MarjieV big blue eyes, her bobbed, light brown hair, and her pleasing ways. Marjorie is planning to continue her stenographic work upon leaving P. H. S. at Miss Gibb's Secretarial College. We know that she will have success in whatever she undertakes. MELVIN CARTER (“Nick”) Motto: “To have and to hold .” Evervbodv seems to know Melvin and there seem to be few with whom he is not acquainted. “Nick” claims to be the only and original “Nick” Carter, but that is hard to believe. At any rate. “Nick is a fine fellow, and although he is rather fickle, he is very well liked—by both sexes. He has such a cheerful disposition and such a happy-go-lucky nature that he makes everyone around him feel happy, too. Lately he seems to have developed a latent talent—that of making wonderfully artistic maps. We expect great things of “Nick,” and he will undoubtedly make us all proud of him some day. MARGARET ELIZABETH CASEY (“Casey,” “Pat”) Motto: “If there be no fun. make it!” SECRETARY A. A. (4k MANAGER SWIMMING TEAM (3), SWIMMING (4), BASKETBALL (4). RECEPTION COMMITTEE (4), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (41 DRAMATICS (4) This is “Casey.” the laughing, good-natured, happy fun maker of the class of ’24. Margaret surely is full of pep and is always around when there is any fun going on. and. if there isn't any, Margaret always makes some. She was the capable, energetic captain of our Girls Swimming Team during its first year, and her team never met defeat. This last year she has been a member of the team. “Casey” and Clara are great chums, and we hear about all the good times they have over Garden Street way. Although Margaret will probably cheer for Brown next vear, we know she'll alwavs be loval to P. H. S. and the class of ’24. DORIS WINSOR CHERRINGTON (“Dot”) Motto: “Semper Pa rata” GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HISTORIAN (4) HONOR SOCIETY Behold “our Dot” with her twinkling eyes and winsome ways, one of the prettiest, most attractive, and most brilliant of our girls in the senior class. Dot is certainly liked by all, and she has a captivating smile for everyone who comes in contact with her. Fives are nothing unusual for her, as they come thick and fast day by day, and no Honor Roll is complete without her name. Wherever there's any fun. Dots right on hand to participate in it, whether it be dancing, skating, sliding, or automobiling, although the latter has its particular charm. Here s to Dot's success whatever she may do in the future! 1924 Pawtucket High School 13 ABRAHAM COHEN (“Abe”) Motto: “Look before you leap.” Abe's motto has a double meaning, for he’s no mean wrestler, having thrown many a heavier one by his caution before leaping, and then he’s rather shy and backward when girls are around, but then, girls, you’ve never heard him spring a new one. History and chemistry seem to be his choice subjects, but studies never worry him. “Abe” has been lured on by the business world, and feels that he will succumb to its charms. He’s been a loyal supporter of high school activities during his four years, supporting athletics and dramatics especially. The class of 24 wishes you luck in your undertakings, “Abe.” MARY MARGARET COLLINS (“May”) Motto: “Do not put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” Mary is naturally quiet, but when you look at her you think. “Still waters run deep.” When Mary says anything, it’s worth listening to. She is a pleasant companion and a true friend. She expects to be a teacher, and she will surely make a good one. Her supply of patience is never exhausted, and her quiet humor will help her over many a rough place. She is a good scholar, especially in French. She shows her partiality for this subject in her recitations, and her mark is much better than for any other study. Good luck and a happy future, Mary! HENRY CLARK JOSEPH COONEY (“Caesar” i Motto: “Always II sharp and never II flat.” track (4) Henry is the boy who is always in on the jokes in his classes. We always know that when he is around something generally happens! Henry has track aspirations, too. We have often seen him trotting around the Slater Park track, and he sure is some runner. He tells us that his favorite periods are study and review algebra (on Mondays and Wednesdays). We are inclined to agree that these are well chosen. Henry does not appear to be very studious, but just take a glance at his report if you want to see his standing. If he goes to college next fall, we hope he will gather in honors in athletics as well as in studies. ETHEL MAY COPP (“Officer”) Motto: “Shakespeare never repeals.” HONOR SOCIETY W’e predict a fine career for Ethel. .She is the girl to go to if you want an appreciative audience for a new joke. Ethel always sees a joke, even if it is on herself. She is a good student, and certainly shines in English. This study is her specialty. It is the usual thing to see her get up and give a logical explanation of a difficult part of Shakespeare while the rest of the class sits back and listens in awed silence. Ethel will probably be private secretary to the President or some other influential person. Nothing else would satisfy her. ■UIHIlNnilNUIIU 14 MuwiinminiHitiiiiniiiiiMmiiiinniiimininimim iiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiBiiimiiiuiiiMiiMtiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiHiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiHiiiwiiiiiiiiMiiiniMiNiiiiiniimiiiiiimiiiiHiiiiNiiiuiiii Pawtucket High School niiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiitiiiiniiiiiiiiiniiiiiiimiiitiiiiniiiiutiiiaiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiimiiiiMiiiaiiiniiiiniiiuiiiHiiiinmiliiiiuiiiiiiiiiHiiiii 1924 MARIAN JOSEPHINE CULLEN (“Marian”) Motto: “Better late than never” Marian is one of those fortunate young ladies who is spared the necessity of visiting the reception room every morning at 8:30. No credit is due her for this, however, for her faithful Chevrolet deposits her safely at the door at exactly 8:20 each morning. Marian, being rather studious, usually carries four or five books home under her arm, and what’s more, her reports show that she studies them. Motoring is her special hobby, and she is often seen driving about the city with two or three of her friends. She intends to motor into R. I. C. E. in the fall, and the best wishes of her classmates go with her. ANNA DARLING (“Doodles”) Motto: “Love to one. friendship to a few. and good will to all” GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY DRAMATICS (4) Anna, the friend of all. is rather quiet while in the class room, but she makes up for it at the proper time. She is a regular attendant at the games and meets. She is fond of dancing and enjoys all sports. Many would like to know Anna’s method of essay writing. We all sit up and take notice when she starts to read one of her themes or stories, for we are sure to be interested in every word. No one can resist Anna s charms. Always smiling and ever cheery, she has won a place in the heart of everyone. Sincere and lovable, she is a real P. H. S. girl— what more could be said of any “demoiselle?” RUTH DAVIS (“Ruth”) Motto: “Play the game” BASKETBALL (41, HONOR SOCIETY Well, well! Here’s another of our old friends in room twenty-seven. Ruth is of a very quiet but sweet disposition, and is well liked by all who know her. She goes her way doing her work in the modest pleasing manner which has gained for her so many friends. She is a chemistry shark, although by no means backward in her other studies. This fair damsel may be seen any afternoon astride her (fiery! steed like a knight of old. Next year will see Ruth resuming her studies at Mount Holyoke. We are sure that she will make a great name for herself there as she has at P. H. S. ISABELLE CATHRINE DEAN (“Izzy”) Motto: “Conquer or die” When it comes to back seats, Isabelle always gets one first. When asked why, she merely shrugs her shoulders and replies, “Why for no reason at all.” But we know better. What could be a more opportune place to pass notes which contain numerous expressions of “He said, ' and “He likes?” As the holder of a seat in the back of the room, she’s a fine time-keeper. All the eleventh hour pupils peek into the door and pop the same worn-out question, “Am I late?” And Isabelle replies, ‘‘Almost.” In her studies Isal elle receives good marks, and her only explanation is: “Why, what are the study periods and recesses for?” Next year she expects to enter Bryant Stratton’s. We wish her luck! 1924 Pawtucket High School 15 GEORGE STANLEY DIXON (“Cal,” “Dick”) Motto: “ a thing is worth doing—do it.” ORCHESTRA (2) (3) (4), CHEER LEADER (4) “Dick,” as he is called by his friends, is an ardent supporter of all the teams. He tried out for football, but due to injuries was forced to seek other inodes of enjoyment. He served with the orchestra for three years, and led us in cheering during his last year. Dick is another member of the “Why Worry Club,” and helps to keep everybody stepping lively. Dick intends to become serious during the summer, and to join the Nyack Religious Institute, and at some future date we may expect to hear the Reverend Mr. Dixon deliver an address or sermon in this city. The best wishes of the class go with you, Dick. RALPH CHARLES DODGE (“Skipper”) FOOTBALL (3) (4), CAPTAIN FOOTBALL (4), BASEBALL (3) (4), CAPTAIN HOCKEY (3) (4), HOCKEY (2) (3) (4), TRACK (3) (4), HONOR SOCIETY Can you imagine a hoy like this being a woman hater? And vet Ralph vows he is one. Despite this failing, we ll have to acknowledge that “Skipper s a pretty good sort, and he’s always there when it comes to baseball, football, basketball, hockey, swimming, track, and a few other things. “Skip' is the captain of the good ship “Gimp,” which has carried so many buccaneers of P. H. S. on their awe-inspiring duck hunts. In command of his trusty crew “Skipper” has established the reputation of a modern Captain Kidd along the shores of Narragansett Bay. Ralph intends to enter Rhode Island State in the fall, along with other members of his crew'. Best of luck, “Skip.” JOSEPH HERMANN DOLL (“Joe.” Dollie”) Motto: “Don’t be bashful; be careful.” DRAMATICS (3) (4), BUSINESS MANAGER “HONOR BRIGHT” (4) A pair of sparkling eyes, a head of lustrous hair, a smile that’s always there, that’s “Dollie.” “Joe” is that industrious fellow who believes in “doing as little as he can, and then a little less.” Nevertheless, he gets his share of 5’s. “Joe” is a faithful slave of Terpsichore; and how he does dance! “Dollie” is also a member of the gang that keeps things humming around Room 29 at recess times. But we think he enjoys the scenery best in the vicinity of Room 25. Some happy day in the future he hopes to have M.D. attached to his name. Next year he intends to grace the classic halls of Brown. JOHN FRANCIS DOYLE (“Jack,” “Tubber”) Motto: “Give the other fellow the kind of advice he wants, and he will always say that you and he are the two wisest men in the world.” TRACK (3) (4), CHEER LEADER (4) Here we have Jack Doyle, famous track man and erstwhile student. For four years Jack has come from Harrison Street to Broadway in about five minutes. This is why he is a good track man. It doesn’t explain why he is in such a hurry, though. Perhaps a little sophomore has something to do with that. At recess he may be seen in the corridors with Dixon, either starting a new stunt or engaged in starting a fight. Besides being a good student, he is an ardent supporter of school activities. Though it was his first attempt, he made a good cheer leader. Next year Jack hopes to enter Bates. Good luck, Jack. 16 Pawtucket High School 1924 MiNUinmiiiuiiminiuiiMMiuiitMiiniiiiMMNiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiMiiiiHiimiiiiHMiiaiiiiuiiiaiiiiiiMittiiiiiiHiiiiiiNiiMiHi LEONARD AMBROSE DUCKWORTH (“Ducky,” “Len”) Motto: “What others have done. I can do.” DRAMATICS (3) (41, ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER GLEANER (4), CLASS SUPPER (41, ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER CLASS BOOK (4) BUSINESS MANAGER “MICE AND MEN” (4) “Ducky,” as his friends call him, is that good-looking hoy who sits in Room 27. He is one of the little boys of our class. But never mind, Leonard, for you know “good things come in small packages.” “Ducky” has had his finger in every high school pie since his freshman days. Popular—well, 1 guess. We wonder what he means by his motto. But when we see him busily writing between 8:30 and the first bell, we can imagine. His favorite subjects are English and algebra, although his faculty for doping out new proofs for geometry theorems is well known. He aspires to enter R. I. State next year. Good luck, “Ducky.” HUGH DUFFEY Motto: “Last but not least ” Whizz.—Here he is—, the mighty Achilles of our class. “Hughie” is so big that we had to keep him on the first floor, for fear that he would crowd the rest of the Seniors off. But when facts have been boiled down. “Hughie” is some boy. Some how or another, he has a sixth sense: he just beats the bell every morning and escapes the penalty. “Hughie” is one of our loyal supporters. He is at every game and track meet, helping us out in every way possible. If he hadn’t been so big, “Hughie” would have made most of our athletic teams. Next year, he intends to pursue his future at R. I. State. Well, we wish you the best of luck, “Hughie.” MARY VERA EASTHAM (“V”) Motto: “Laugh, love and live” VICE-PRESIDENT OF CLASS (3) (4), VICE-PRESIDENT A. A. (3), PRESIDENT OF A. A. (4), BASKETBALL (3) (4), SWIMMING (3) (4), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (4). DRAMATICS (4) Sometimes there’s not a twinkle In her dark and sparkling eyes, While looking solemn as an owl, And almost twice as wise. But bless you. this is all a bluff. For. just ’tween you and me, She’s up to all the pretty wiles And gay as gay can be. Talk about your live wires! Here’s one all right. Vera is that pleasant, cheerful girl who looks after the affairs of the Girls’ Athletic Association. She certainly does wield a wicked basketball, and. as for swimming, when her body cleaves the water, more fame is added to the glory of the swimming team. Vera intends to invade Brown next year, and then return to P. H. S. to teach. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiMiiimiimiiiHiinuimiii 1924 iiiiwiiiiiiiiiuiiiuiiiiiiiiimiiimiimiiiiiiiiiuiiiiuiiiuiiiiuiiiinHWiiiimimiiiniiiMiiiiiiMiiiiiHiiiiMUHHiiimiiiiiMii Pawtucket High School j|iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiniiiniiiiHiiiiiiiiiaiiiiniiiniiiiaiiianiiHiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiniiiuiMiuiiiMii!iiiiiiiiiaiiiiiifi!iiiiiiii niiiiiiiiMiiimiiiiiiimiiiiniiiiniiii 17 JOSEPH ANDREW EGAN (“Pete”) Motto: “Strive to succeed, but never think you have. “What’s the shorthand lesson for today?” Yes. that's “Pete” asking the question. You see, he is intensely interested in shorthand, even if he doesn't study it until just before class. But he doesn’t need to study it any sooner, and a little team work in class helps a lot, you know. Just take a peek into twenty-seven, fifth period, and you will see how much ’Pete likes school. A sweet young thing sits down side of him. “What’s her name?” he whispers. Then there are notes ’n everything. Oh, well, everybody feels that way at times. “Pete” will make a fine business man. we all feel sure, although he would say, “That’s a lot of bunk.” EDWARD SELLECK EVANS (“Ed”) Motto: “To conquer is to live enough. STACK MANAGER “BELIEVE ME XANTIPPE” (4), ASSISTANT STAGE MANAGER (3) “Ed ’ started to pursue his studies at Moses Brown, and it was not until his sophomore year that he decided to continue the pursuit of them here. Since then he has been in the front ranks in the class, especially in dramatics, working hard as stage manager for the success of several plays. His favorite subject is public speaking, and he knows so much of parliamentary law that he is considering writing a book of his own on the subject. lie expects to become an M.D. sometime, so he has used his ability as a debater to get high marks in chemistry. LOUIS FARBER (“Tarzan”) Motto: “DorCt take it while anybody’s looking. MANAGER BASEBALL (4), FOOTBALL (2) (3) (4), TRACK (2) (3) (4), BASKETBALL (3) (4) Behold Louis Farber, our great athlete and right tackle. For the last few years he has been a star on our football team. And he makes a good basketball player, too. If Louis is not at the Armory playing ball, or on the football field, or looking out for the baseball at the Park, or down at the Y putting the shot, he's driving his great Winton piled full of a crowd of P. H. S. people all over Pawtucket and the surrounding territory at a rate of speed that barely keeps within the speed law. Next year, Louis intends to go to Moses Brown with Al. and we feel sure that he will suceed in whatever he undertakes. RAYMOND JOSEPH FARRELL (“Ray”) Motto: “Play the game. MANAGER BASKETBALL (4), FOOTBALL (4), TRACK (4), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (4) Some people think we had a heavy football team. That’s true, yet on it we find Ray, one of our lightest athletes, holding down a tough position at end. We’ll always remember that West Warwick game, when ‘ Ray” saved the day for our team. He also has proven himself as fleet a dasher as we’ve had on our track team, not to mention his ability with the “spuds.” “Ray” has spent a very busy four years here, and along with his studies, has found time to manage our basketball team well. “Ray” worked hard with basketball, and replenished our treasury greatly. He will matriculate at R. I. State next year. 18 Pawtucket High School MARGARET HELEN FERGUSON (“Margaret”) Motto: “Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Margaret is one of our promising Normal students. Her favorite subject is Normal Drawing, and this is evident by her mark in it. If you see somebody with auburn hair strolling in about ten minutes late, you’ll know it's Margaret. Nothing seems to worry her. She is always cheerful, and always ready to do someone a good turn, and she gets plenty of chances. Perhaps if we could look into the future, we would see Margaret patiently drilling facts into children’s heads. Nevertheless, she will surely he a great success, and we all wish her the best of luck in the world. 1924 iiiniinMiMiiiwimiiimiMunaniMH CHARLES AUGUSTUS FISK (“Fiskie,” “Charlie”! Motto: “Happy go lucky HOCKEY (2) (3) (4) H re we are again! Yes. it’s Charlie Fisk. Charlie is a charter member of the “W by Worry Club.” and when he enters a room, gloom, grief, sorrow and all their companions leave by the nearest exits. Just ask Charlie how he likes French. Vie think he'll tell you. His favorite study, he says, is architectural drawing. Houses, garages, and buildings of all kinds and description grow under his magic pencil. Charlie also shines in Public Speaking. When there is ice around. Charlie plays hockey for us, and plays well. He intends to be an architect and design mansions for millionaires. Good luck, Charlie. EDWIN YATES FISKE (“Ed”) Motto: “Do the best you can. where you are, with what you have, todu y Edwin is one of the few hoys at P. H. S. who are quiet, and his best-known characteristics are his extreme bashfulness and timidity. We do know, however, that he takes keen delight in reading the sporting page of the “Journal” behind a raised desk cover. Yet his love of the daily news does not distract his mind from his studies, for he tackles them conscientiously. He is a willing participant in all the pleasurable activities at school. We know that he will succeed in whatever he intends to undertake in the future, and the best wishes of the class of 1921 are extended to him. CLARA REGINA FITZGERALD (“Clair,” “Fit .y”) Motto: “Be good, and you'll be happy, but you II miss a lot of fun. SECRETARY OF CLASS (3) (4), SWIMMING (3) (4), SECRETARY OF DRAMATIC SOCIETY (4). HONOR SOCIETY. DRAMATICS (4) Clara has always been one of the most popular girls in high school. There are few hoys, indeed, who have not been captivated by her bobbed hair, attractive smile, and quiet manner; and the girls are behind her in everything. “Clair” has one unconquerable, disastrous weakness: she can never refuse an alluring invitation for a dance or ride, even when there are stacks of lessons awaiting her; and so, her scholastic record has suffered a hit from her popularity (she even received a 4— this year!). Her ability in swimming and dancing is a thing to he envied. Brown will possess our Clara next year, and it is certainly obtaining one of our best. 1924 Pawtucket High School 19 MiimiimiiimiimiiiMiiiiiiNiitiimuiMiiraiiiiiiiiMiiiiHiHniiwiimiiimiiwiiiwiinNMiiiniiifiiiMmiiiiiiimiiiiiiii ttuiiiimiiuiiiimiiiiiiiiniiwHiiuMmwNMNlN CHARLOTTE COMER FROST (“Chic”) Motto: “Try anything once.” Well! well! here is Charlotte! You know her. a little blond who sits in room twenty-seven, and who is never in any given place at any given time. Chic” is so small that you almost need a microscope to see her. But, believe me, you can’t put anything over on her. She’s very cheerful. too. Just tell her a joke on the sly and listen to her giggle. It’s worth the trouble of repeating the joke. “Chic” likes to study—especially shorthand, her favorite subject. She, too, will enter the commercial world after she leaves P. H. S., and we wish her the best of luck and happiness in her future work, whatever it may be. HELEN GABAR (“Helen”) Motto: “Always forget what you can’t remember.” GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (41, HONOR SOCIETY, VICE-PRESIDENT SCIENCE CLUB (4) Helen, like her dear friend. Izzy. naturally gravitates toward back seats, probably for the same reasons. She’s one of those lucky people who are blessed with curly hair, and her bobbed locks are quite an attraction in twenty-seven. She started in with us on our first day in P. H. S., and has kept up her reputation as a good student ever since. Like many another girl, her appearance is deceptive, for she looks quite demure, doesn’t she? Still, when her future classmates at R. 1. C. E. really come to know her, they'll find that underneath she’s chock full of fun and pep. Look a little harder and you’ll see that twinkle in her eye. ZULMAH MAY GARDNER (“Zel”) Motto: “He who hesitates is lost.” Although Zulmah doesn’t tell us all about the tilings she enjoys, we know that art in all its phases appeals to her. White is her favorite color because it signifies purity. Zulmah is a lover of animals, especially dogs, and her favorite pastime is walking with her German police puppy. Music and dancing have a fascination for Zulmah. While she doesn't enjov the movies at all. she just delights in Zane Grey s thrilling novels. Sewing is Zulmah’s favorite occupation, and next year she may take a course in dress designing. Here’s to her success for whatever she does in the future! ROLAND ALPHONSE GIGNAC (“Roly”) Motto: “Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow.” Roland did not join us till our junior year, spending the first two years of his high school career in Sacred Heart College, in that wild and woolly wilderness of Central Falls. But, nevertheless, he has won for himself a host of friends, many of whom are members of the fair sex. His favorite studies are chemistry and U. S. History. When not studying, he is skating, or else the tennis courts claim him. and he is very proficient in both these sports. Next year will find Roland among the “frosh” at R. I. State, where we know he will be a credit to himself and to the school. 20 MiiiNiiiiaiinuiiNiiiiiniiniiiniiiiHiiuiniiniiiiiiiiiimiiMiiiMmMimMtimiiwMi IMtMnMnMUMrailMNMIlNWimttMfIMIIIMIIMMMIIIMIMMIMUIIMIIHMMtMIMttIMIMIMINMIllllluin Pawtucket Hich School iMMiiraiiwiiiiHiiiamiuiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiniiiMunniiiiiiiutiiiiHiiiiiiiiiwiiniiiuiinuiimmMiimiiiuuiwiiiiiiiiiiitiiiii tiiiHHHuiiMUMiinniiainMaNniiBMMNiiMiiimnniM 1924 llllllllllltlllnilllHIIIHIIIBIIIIIIIIIBIIIIMIIIIIIIinuilllllllHilHl RUSSELL PEARSON GODDARD (“Russ”) Mol to: “DonI do il till you have to.

TENNIS ( I I There are few people who achieve success in all things they attempt, but Russell seems to be one of the minority. His arguments in debating have won us many a victory; his record in the academic is a thing to be proud of; and his ability behind the footlights has astonished those who know him only as a quiet, unobtrusive senior. His talent in composing short, pithy editorials has been clearly shown in his Gleaner work. Russell has decided that the scene of his next exploits will be Cornell, and he starts for that institution in the fall. His achievements at P. H. S. have been great, but of Russell at Yale, we expect to hear still greater things. GRACE IRENE GODFREY (“Goose”) Motto: “Grin and bear it. Grace has been a member of our class for four years, and although she believes in the old adage of being seen and not heard, yet her presence has always been felt and relied upon. She may not look like a movie fan. but she is—and her latest idol is Conway Tearle. At school she has taken the commercial course, and done excellently. She expects to be a private secretary in a few years, but she is also qualified for other things. Every ring or pendant that she makes upstairs is an object of admiration for days, and her neatness and skill in household arts recommends her as a housekeeper. However, we send her forth to be “somebody’s stenog.” ELSA BERTHA GRAMELSBACH (“La-la”) Motto: “As ye sew, so shall ye rip.” DRAMATICS (4) Elsa is a vivacious blond with no mean talent as an actress. She was a promising commercial pupil until she became a senior, when she suddenly decided to try for college. Being an ambitious person, she did not consider the means as much as the end—namely college. However, she is a good scholar, so she will, of course, make a success. Elsa is a regular shark at English and German. To hear her, you would think that they were both acquired as easily as the measles. Although Elsa is always complaining about a pain, she is expected to live a long life, and we hope, a happy one. REGINA AUGUSTA GRAMELSBACH (“Reggie”) Motto: “Love your friends.” When it comes to being a genius at work, lay, and study, Regina is right there. Her ambition is evident by her diligence in her studies. She is rather fond of German, and in this subject she shines. She is especially fond of reading, though, and is acquainted with the works of both ancient and modern writers. We must not think that “Reggie’ does nothing but study, for facts prove the contrary. She is a willing participant in all the pleasurable activities of the school. We know that “Reggie” will succeed in anything she undertakes. The class of 1921 extends to you its best wishes for your future luck and happiness. 1921 uiHiiiuiiiiiiMmiiiuiiiiHiiiaiiiaiimiiiuiiiiiiiiimiiiiniiiiitiii inuiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiitiiiiiintiiiiniinininiiimiiiitiiinitiiiitiiiniiuiuiiiniiiiiiumiiUiiriniiiiiuiiuiiiraNiiHiiiiuiiiifiiiiuiiitiiiitniiiiiiiiuuiiuinHiiiiiiiutiiiiiiiiuiiuiiiniiRniu Pawtucket High School 21 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiii!iiimiiiiHiiiaiiiiHiimiimiimmiuiiiiHiiiimii iiiiuiiiuiiiniiiiiiiiiiimiiiniiiitiiimimmi!’iiii iimmMiiimiiiniiiDiii.iiimmmiiiiuiiiiuimmmiiiiiiiiiiuiH ROMA TELESPHORE GUILLEMETTE (“Frenchy”) Motto: “Never do today what you can do tomorrow.’' “Frenchy” has to come every clay from that far away place called Seekonk, so that explains why he often arrives either too early or too late. His special “sidekick” is Maynard, and the two are almost never separated. When asked why he takes French, he always replies, “To make up my credits,” hut he also keeps off the permanent list with remarkable ease. Installing radio sets is a special hobby of his, and takes up a good deal of his time. Next year will probably find him at R. 1. State, and we hope he will he able to make as good a showing as he has here. GLADYS MAY HAMM (“Glad”) Motto: “If a thing is worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.” dramatics (4) There is a little senorita who sits in Room 24,'known by the name of “Glad” to her many friends. Indeed it is a name which just suits her, for her face is always bright and smiling. You always see her “petite” form flitting in and out with a smile and a joke. All original, too! And studious? Why, she simply loves to study. Her favorite studies are shorthand and typewriting and we know she will make a fine little “stenog.” Just watch her! We are sorry to see her leave us but we know she will brighten some little corner in the business world and we wish her success. Adios, Gladys! GORDON MILLER HALL (“Chink”) Motto: “When there is nothing else to do, go to bed.” ASSISTAiNT MANAGER FOOTBALL (3), BASKETBALL (4) Rattlety—bang! Bang! Honk! “Chink” and his twin six go flashing by—the gang hanging on by their teeth and one tire half off. In his leisure moments Gordon studies—we know not what, hut he gets there just the same. Since he took up the art of Terpsichore “Chink hasn’t been himself. He has a sort of far-away look on his noble, sheik-like brow. Perhaps he’s thinking of the next basketball game. “Chink was a sub on the big team and when he played he showed fine ability as a player. Next year Gordon will go into commercial life, probably selling stocks and bonds. THOMAS EDWARD HARDING (“Tom”) Motto: “Beter to jail dotvn than lie down.” Some people think “Tom” quiet, but they don’t know him (ask Miss Osborn). If you want to get acquainted with our “Tom,” visit a certain pond any time when there is skating. Whizz! Gone! That’s he. That is, he’s whizzing and the rest if he isn’t teaching some fair damsel to whizz also. He’s quiet in his classes, but we’re not sure whether it is bashfulness or natural knowledge that makes him so timid with the teachers. Remember those dear old eraser fights in 14? Perhaps you don’t, “Tom,” because you’ve grown up. (?) “Tom” is uncertain as to his future address, but call Central and ask for information. How about it, “Tom”? 22 Pawtucket High School 1924 mmimiiimmmiiui luiimtiiiniiiiiniii inniiniiiiniiimiiiMiinimtiimiMiiiMiiniiimii ESTHER DORA HAROOTUNIAN (“Tessie,” “Curly”) Motto: “Smile and the world will smile with you.” Esther? Oh. of course, I know Esther. You mean that young lady who surprised us this year by walking in with all her bee-yew-tee-full curls done up in a hair net. Why? Well, she thought she had grown up, and she didn't want a young head on old shoulders. Esther’s favorite pastime is dancing. Every Tuesday night you can see her up at a certain place “tripping it as she goes on her light fantastic toes.” She has faithfully pursued a four-year commercial course and she expects to further this education at the Boston University where we know and hope she will make good. MARIE DIANA HENDERSON (“Babe”) Motto: Doiit think always of yourself; give someone else a chance.” Petite Marie with her smiling countenance has spent her four years at P. H. S. in hard, earnest study. Marie believes, except on Freak Day, in being quiet and reserved (?), and has followed out the idea that if she minds her own business everyone else will mind his. Marie prides herself in being able to write well and we know that she does this with excellence. You'll always find her chatting at recess in room 24 with Gladys and Margaret. With the aid of Mr. Holden’s wise teachings, Marie intends to make about forty per—taking dictation from some multi-millionaire. ELBERT HUGH HENRY (“Al ) Mctlo: “The best way to have a friend is to be one.” PRESIDENT OF Cl.ASS (3) (4), VICE-PRESIDENT A. A. (3 I. PRESIDENT A. A. (41, FOOTBALL (2) (3) (4), BASEBALL (2) (3) (4), CAPTAIN BASEBALL (4). BASKETBALL (4), FOOTBALL DANCE COMMITTEE (4) Le voici! The pride of ’24—our “Al!” A complex character: one day, a hot-headed player, making thrilling passes for his class; the next, a stern president, conducting a class meeting in his best manner; and the next, an English dandy, cheer leader for a riotous crowd of Freaks in the middle of Main Street. “Al” is a star in every phase of school life, but he excels in athletics. “Al has not yet definitelv decided where he will go next year—but it will be either to Moses Brown or Dartmouth. After he has completed his course there, he intends to enter the business world. W herever he goes, let’s have three cheers for “Al”—one! two! three! JAMES STEELE HOLBURN (“Jim”) Motto: “Do it now. “Jimmy” is the angel-eyed, blond-haired youth of room 24. Every morning finds him with a book under his nose, wondering if he could better his marks of 5. “Jimmy” is an ardent supporter of our teams and rain or shine—he is at the games. His favorite pastime is—well, we won’t tell because he always regards it as a secret. But, he certainly does like to read, dear me, yes! And always finds plenty of things to peruse. “Jim” isn’t certain of his future. No doubt, though, it will be big, and whatever he does will be worth while. Here’s the best of luck. “Jim,” and think of us once in a while. 1924 Pawtucket High School i ■iii:.iiii:iMii4iii iiiiniMniiiiiiiiiiiiiii:iiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiitmiiiniirantiininniinHiiimiiaiiuinintiiuii«iiuiiiiiiiii«itiiiiiiiiiniiitniniiiiiuiinitiiiiuiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiimiiiiinitiiiiiii inminiiin 23 RAYMOND JOSEPH HOLLAND (“Ray”) Motlo: “Smile—it’s worth while.” “Ray” is our little sunbeam who declares that he’s so bright that his father calls hint “son” and the fellows call him “ray.” His cheerful grin is always in evidence as he drawls in his beautiful tenor. “Say, didja hear this one?” “Ray” has a fondness for the ladies although he pretends indifference. We hear that one young lady, (Helen, wasn’t it? I had her hair bobbed because “Ray” declared he liked 'em that way. Football has had a sturdy supporter in this robust youth, whose avoirdupois makes him a valuable man on the field. “Ray” hasn't quite decided what he will do next year, but whatever it is, we wish him the best of luck. LUCIA HOOGASIAN (“Loo”) Motto: “Look towards the sun and the shadous will jail behind you.” Hail to our Lucia, the champion rooter at the games! No game would be complete without her in the front line cheering our boys or girls. She just seems to put new life into them and on they go again. And stories! Why, very few can compete against Lucia. Her narratives seem to hold the reader’s attention from beginning to end. Do you remember our Indian squaw on Freak Day? The memorable day would have been incomplete without a real Indian and none could have taken the part better than Lucia. She is particularly fond of typewriting and next year we expect to find her in someone’s office as stenographer. Here’s wishing you success in everything. Lucia. ELEANOR SARAH HUGHES (“El,” “Lenorc”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” Eleanor is one of the best natured girls in our class, and her unfailing good humor and willingness to assist in any fun on hand has won her the esteem of all her classmates. She is an ardent student of biology and may often be seen engaged in an animated discussion as to the whys and wherefores of animal life. The one great annoyance of her life is her inability to decide whether she prefers singing or dancing as a pastime. Judging from the frequency with which she indulges in both, we should say that she is extremely impartial. Eleanor is not quiet decided as to her future career, but thinks she will choose nursing as her vocation. CHARLES ERNEST HULME (“Ernie”) Motto: “Eventually, ivhy not now?” CLEANER (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY “Ernie” Hulme is the radio shark of Pleasant View. With his powerful set he can get Providence on clear nights. He is one of our loyal supporters here at P. H. S., too, and you see him at every game, cheering until he is hoarse. His favorite pastime out of school is motoring, indulging in friendly races with all who desire them. His opponent generally holds last place easily. No matter what his reputation is, he has always transported players of various teams to the field on time. In school, he is strong on studying and does his best to keep up his part on the Gleaner Board and give us all a laugh. 24 Pawtucket High School 1924 MWiiiHiiimiiumiimiiiiiiimwiniiiNHiMiimiiiiiiiumiimiiuimmiMiimuiiiiiiiiMiiMiiMiiiHiiummiimiHiimHmiHiiiuiMMiiiiiiMitmiiiMiiiiiiiiiii ALICE ADELE JOHNSON (“AH Motto: “Always do you tasks when you can't get by without doing them. Who’s that tall, graceful, brown-eyed girl that sits in 24? Oh, you mean Alice Johnson, the star theme-writer of our English class? But theme-writing isn’t the only thing at which Alice shines. She is a great hiker, skater, dancer and an all-around girl. Our Alice looks quiet, but when the 2:05 hell rings, she throws off the restraint of hooks and becomes the gayest of the gay. She is a sport enthusiast, and has missed very few football, basketball, or baseball games during her four years at high school. Alice is undecided as to her future, but wherever she goes, whatever she does, her host of friends at P. H. S. are with her. MARIAN WELCOME JOHNSON ( Pinky”) Motto: “Laugh and be happy.” BASKETBALL (3), MANAGER BASKETBALL (4), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (4) Marian is one of our girl athletes, and a great booster for athletics. She’s the kind of person that one would call “a good sport,” ready to rush in and enjoy whatever’s going on. Marian is an excellent basketball player, and the team lost a valuable guard this year when she could not play. She jazzes all over the city in her flivver, and she certainly has experienced some jolly good rides in the old Henry. Marian will probably endeavor to tackle the pursuit of learning at R. I. State, where her gaity and lively companionship will win her a hearty welcome.

No matter what Tommy” tackles, he always shows the same pep that he has when streaking down the track or churning the water for old P. H. S. In spite of his many activities, Tommy’s” scholastic record has been a good one. P. H. S. will remember “Tommy” as one of its squarest and lovalest; always ready for fun. P. H. S. will be sorry to lose him and either Brown or R. I. State will be benefited by his presence next year. KATHRYN VERONICA KENT (“Kathryn”) Motto: “Always look to the sun.” Kathryn is the shy little girl with the curly bobbed hair, whose big blue eyes make you feel that she’s the most innocent and offending person in the world. But look out! Those who, misguided by her appearance. have tried to kid her along, have found that “he who laughs last laughs best.” Though Kathryn usually finds time to support the various athletic teams and is present at all the baseball game? with her inseparable chum, Helen. What she most enjoys is to get a good book, a box of candy, and park in some quiet corner. She intends to journey into R. I. C. E. next year, and we expect to hear from her in a few years as a full-fledged schoolma’am. 1924 uiiMiiwiiiMiimiMiiimiiMiiitiiiiimiimiiiniiniiiiiummiiiiMiiimimmi Pawtucket High School ........................... 25 EDWARD JOSEPH KELLEY (“Teddy”) Motto: “If you cant be a lighthouse, be a candle.” Coining—nearer—nearer—it's here, that dear old smile! It takes a long time to produce it. but when it arrives—now you know how one person “gets by.” Perhaps everyone doesn’t know that big. broad-shouldered. brown-sweatered boy of room 24. Now’s your chance to gain a little knowledge. “Ed” is usually at home unless it’s lunch period (which, by the way, is his favorite one). “Ed” is going is going to surprise us some day and come in prepared. Better warn the faculty before-hand, although we adore having the dear teachers absent. Edward is following a business pathway. It may be long, but there is always an end. Well, good luck, and a speedy saunter, “Ed.” MARY ANGELA KELLY (“Mary”) Motto: “Keep smiling.” We’re not going to reiterate that tiresome saying about good things coming in small packages because one only has to know Mary to see that that’s true. Mary’s the girl with the lovely color and the merry laugh, who never misses a basketball game, and gets, oh, terribly excited when P. H. S. doesn’t win. We think there must be a friend on the team but Mary just blushes. She’s very fond of entertaining and gives such thrilling parties. Judging from that, one might think Mary aspired to be a society matron, but she intends to go to Sargent. Somehow we can’t see her teaching physical culture. A La Salle boy, perhaps, eh, Mary? RICHARD JAMES KEOUGH (‘ Dick”) Motto: “Don't do anything somebody else will do for you.” HOCKEY (2 I (3) (4), FOOTBALL (4), SECRETARY A. A. (4), SENIOR RECEPTION (4), MANAGER TENNIS (4) No one in P. H. S. calls him anything but “Dick,” and they all know him, even the little Sophs. Dick's “rushed them all. “Variety’s the spice of life,” so “Dick” thinks, for we never see him at a prom with the same girl twice, and incidentally, when it comes to dancing, he's no mean amateur. Dick's equally as good on the football field and this winter he helped win laurels for Pawtucket by his skill at hockey. “Dick” says he isn't sure where he'll go next year and though he doesn't believe a bit in hurrying, he always gets there. Good luck. Dick! EARL ALFRED LAPLANTE (“Earl”) Motto: “Love one; love everyone.” TRACK (3) (4) Find the Buick and you find Earl! He is always everywhere with his car, full of pep and enthusiasm. Though some think him shy we are inclined to doubt it. Earl can step in two different ways: socially and the way P. H. S. best remembers him; that is, holding a position on our splendid track team for two years. As a dasher and relay man he has shown his ability. Being one of the fastest track men in the school doesn't bother Earl much, and we find him the same pleasing fellow that he has been during his four years at P. H. S. Earl plans to go to R. I. School of Design next year and we know that he will crash his way through for some more speedy records. 26 Pawtucket Hich School 1924 CATHERINE RITA LAVEN (“Kitty”) Motto: “Laugh at misfortune or misfortune will laugh at you.” DRAMATICS (4) “Kitty’s” the girl who will come in late, despite her efforts to get here on time. But she has such a hearty laugh and such an engaging smile that the teachers just have to smile on her and forgive her. Everyone knows how talented she is as an actress and more than once “Kitty” has proved to us that she can talk even faster than she can think. And that’s saying something! “Kitty’s” ready wit and sunny disposition have endeared her to many during her four years at P. H. S. and we know she’ll lie just as popular at the College of Education where she intends to go next year. FRANCES ALBERTA LAVENDIER (“Fran”) Motto: “Slowly but surely wins the way.” HONOR SOCIETY We all admire the girl who can combine studiousness with pleasure. Frances is the possessor of such a quality. She has brought with her from St. Cecile’s the reputation of being a most diligent girl in her studies. Besides this she won a prize for being one of the best writers and received a Palmer diploma. Frances is also quite an accomplished pianist and we should not lie surprised some day to find her booked among the famous pianists of the age. Frances doesn’t know exactly what she expects to do next year but whatever she undertakes we wish her the best of luck. MARGUERITE FLORENCE LEBEL (“Marguerite”) Motto: “Make haste slowly.” Marguerite’s that demure little girl with the charming smile, who sits in 24. Like the little flower she’d like to blush unseen but we’re just not going to let her. Behind that quiet smile lies a world of good fellowship and sportsmanship, and though she’d like us to think that she’s demure, that twinkle in her eyes gives her away. She’s not very easv to know at first, but when one makes her acquaintance, there’s a loyal friend and a true-blue chum. Marguerite is very fond of English and hopes to put her talents to work on journalism but if she doesn’t, Marguerite savs she will go to the College of Education. The best of luck! DOROTHY FRANCES LEES (“Dot”) Motto: “Be prepared.” HONOR SOCIETY “Dot” is one of those quiet girls that enter the high school unobtrusively but after four years leave a fine scholarship record behind them. “Dot” believes that “actions speak louder than w'ords” and her four years at P. H. S. have indeed reflected that idea. She is held in high esteem by her fellow students and holds a long record on the Honor Roll. Her favorite study is Latin, and she is a shark in that as her class can testify. “Dot” likes all outdoor sports and can always be seen with her many friends skating, or engaging in some other out-of-door pastime. Next year, Brown will claim “Dot” and the class of ’24 wishes her all success. 1924 Pawtucket High School 27 EMMA FRANCES PORTER LENNON Motto: “Sink or swim.” SWIMMING 131 (41, CAPTAIN SWIMMING (3) DRAMATICS (4) Enthusiasm goes for a lot and Emma surely has plenty of that estimable quality. She believes that a laugh carries more weight than a frown and not infrequently is up to—mischief, shall we say? Emma is renowned for her skill in swimming. She helped her team to go through the season with but one defeat. You never fail to find her at all the school activities and by keeping up scholastically we consider her a good member of our illustrious class. Her ambitions lead her toward R. I. State, and we hope she’ll be there next year with the rest of the P. H. S. crowd. HELEN BERNARDINE LENNON (‘ Helen”) Motto: “Nothing is impossible.” See that good-looking girl with those sparkling eyes, and merry face? That’s Helen, the official “gloom-chaser.” With her enchanting smile and ready wit she makes you forget all your troubles. She is, to quote Milton, “buxom, blithe and debonair.” Helen is fond of a good time and spends her evenings in “tripping the light fantastic toe.” Helen’s forte is English; she certainly knows how to write a billet doux. Studies never seem to worry her, but. nevertheless, she manages to obtain good marks. Rhode Island State looks good to Helen and next year will probably see her resuming her studies there. CATHERINE ELIZABETH LEONARD (“Kath,” “K”) Motto: “Nothing ventured, nothing won.” There’s no one in P. H. S. who doesn't know “Kath,” the sparkling little brunette with the gay laugh that is always in evidence. “Kath” made her debut into our midst four long years ago, and she liked us so well that she has stayed ever since. She hasn’t wasted any time either, for besides being popular and a good sport, “Kath” is an ardent devotee of Terpsichore and never misses an opportunity to trip the light fantastic. Next year “Kath” hopes to grace the halls of R. I. C. E. We know she ll be a success wherever she goes. Good luck. “Kath.” ROSE DOROTHY LEVIN (“Curly”) Motto: “What other fools have done. I can do.” “Curly” is that bright eyed girl of room 24. Nearly everyone knows her, for are not her black curly hair and large brown eyes the source of envy of nearly all the girls? Although she is serious at times, we all know that the twinkle in her eye leaps out every so often and how — the boys do fall! Ask Frank, he knows. Next year Rose expects to go to a secretarial college where she hopes to gain sufficient know ledge to become a private secretary to some lucky business man. We wish her the best of luck, and hope that all her dreams w ill be fulfilled.

While not very large physically, intellectually he is one of the shining lights of the c lass, lie has completed a scientific course in three years, besides finding time to enliven the orchestra with his fiddle, which he plays to perfection. As for his rank in outside interests, “Bill” was chosen from all the Scouts in the city to fill the mayor’s chair for one memorable day. He is undecided whether to enter Brown next year and specialize in radio work or to study music. Whichever course he follows, he has the best wishes of the class. DEXTER SNOW LUTHER (“Red”) Motto: “Believe in your own ideas until convinced otherwise” That's “Red,” the one who's chuckling at everything and anything. Perched on a desk in 29 during recess, you can even now see him laughing when he’s not being chased around the room, for lie’s a demon with the erasers and chalk. His outstanding characteristic is his auburn hair, with that constant part. “Red' is also endowed with an abundance of freckles which are a sure sign of his good nature. You don't have to speak twice to him about tickets for school activities. The sciences are his delight and no doubt that is the reason for his steady use of the lab. R. 1. State will further him in his career as an engineer. DORIS SLATER MacCANN (“Dot”) Motto: “Nothing s impossible.” BASKETBALL (3) (4), SWIMMING (3) (41, CAPTAIN SWIMMING (4), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (4) “Hee! Hee! Hah!” We need no introduction to that laugh: it’s “Dot.” Her perpetual good-humor is infectious and her polysyllabic giggle has broken forth on many a solemn occasion, to the dismay of the faculty, and to the glee of the class. “Dot” is one of the most popular girls of our class, for she certainly has some winning wavs. She has shown her prowess in athletics as a member of both the basketball and swimming teams. In the fall, “Dot” expects to grace the halls of the Rhode Island State College, in company with her inseparable friend, Virginia. The best of luck. “Dot.” HAZEL LILLIAN MARSH (“Sally”) Motto: “On with the dance” HONOR SOCIETY, DRAMATICS (3) (41, RECEPTION COMMITTEE (4) Hazel is one of our “flapper” group, and she is among the cutest of them. The word dance is a magic one to her. for if anyone mentions the subject, away she goes, and my. but she can dance! Hazel excels not only in gliding around the dance hall floor, but she has taken part in ever so many plays. Then, too, the P. H. S. Honor Roll claims her as the list comes out. She is a perfect wonder at math and furnishes a great amount of fun that period. Hazel doesn't know yet what she will do in the future, but it’s certain that she won't forsake her beloved dancing. 29 ] 921 Pawtucket Hich School PAUL MARTIN MARTESIAN (“Paul”) Motto: “Do not pul off until tomorrow ’ Our class is blessed with at least three math sharks, and Paul is not the least of them. Ever since grammar school, his quick solution of difficult problems in arithmetic has bewildered us, and he is no less adept at geometry and algebra. He is on quite intimate terms with the bane of all Latin students—Virgil, and he says chemistry is not so hard as it appears. Yet. he declares his favorite study to be English. Paul has decided that his next field of endeavor will lie in the direction of Brunonia, and so next year he will help to represent us at that University. RICHARD FLOYD MARTIN (“Dick”) Motto: “Don't do it until you have to. DRAMATICS (3) (4), PROPERTY MANAGER “BELIEVE ME XANTIPPE” (4) Who does not know this merry-faced lad, one of the most popular members of our class. “Dick” is a quiet, studious fellow, but when school hours are over, he is a lively, cheerful chap. His latest accomplishment is dancing and he sure does spend a lot of time in practicing his steps with a pretty, young junior. His favorite studv is public speaking. He is also a very active member of the Dramatic Club. His smiling countenance is either to be seen over tbe footlights or evidence of his labors is displayed in the scenic end of the play. This young prodigy intends to go to M. I. T. to become a mechanical engineer. NORMAN FREDERICK MARTY (“Norman”) Motto: “Let the other fellow do the worrying.” This sample of conspicuous good-humor is Marty, the boy wonder. Being a trifle robust, he has to live up to the requirements of people of plumpness and consequently has a very happy, free-from-care disposition. Although he has never been known to suffer from over-study, he always amazes us by knowing his lessons in all his studies. His ever-ready wit and humor have won him many friends during his four years at P. H. S.; and if the future can be judged by the past, they will continue to win many more for him. After leaving Pawtucket, Marty will enter the business world, from whence we expect to hear many good things of him in the future. EDGAR EUGENE MAYNARD (“Fat,” Felix,” “Eddie”) Motto: “Better late than never.” “Edd ie’ has acquired speed since he entered the archways of the Pawtucket High. Nearly every morning you might see him somewhere in Goff s Lot about 8:27. Then with a burst of surprising speed our Marathon runner slips into his seat just as the bell has stopped ringing. Felix” is bis nickname among the fellows who know him well. He always has the same grin from ear to ear so that—you know. Never does he miss a joke on the faculty and he is the originator of several himself. He intends to enter Brown in the fall, where the engineering course will claim his attention. The class of '2d wishes you the best of luck. “Eddie.” Uutiiiuiiiiiin: iiiiuii; mi linin' mini m: i mmnm Pawtucket Hich School illlWIIMlin IllllllllltlllllllllllllllU 1924 30 AMBROSE McALEVY (“Mack”) Motto: “If you don’t see what you want, take it.” “Mack” is another of that fine bunch of fellows that congregate in room 24. Although he does not take part in any particular form of athletics, he is an ardent supporter both morally and financially. “Mack” has a quiet, sedate look on his physiognomy usually—hut don’t fool yourself. He is a great dispenser of mirth and jollity and his jokes are never stale. “Mack” admits he is not a ladies’ man hut we notice he doesn’t exactly run away from the fairer and weaker sex, and especially from sophomores. Next year Ambrose will go to Brown, to take up chemistry. The best wishes of the class of ’24 go with you, Ambrose. EVERETT JEREMIAH McCabe (“Ev,” “Mac”) Motto: “If you can’t be a light house, be a candle. “Ev” was graduated from Garden Street School, and then came to the portals of P. H. S. to take the scientific course. His chubby face and jovial grin won him instant recognition among the little freshies. Now, even though he is apparently quiet as becomes a sedate senior, “Mac” hardly objects to a little fun occasionally. His special boon companion is Harold, and the two are forever thinking up some new prank to play on an unfortunate victim. His hobby is mathematics and lie has always ranked high in his class. “Mac” hopes to become an engineer when he leaves school—and so he goes to the General Electric College in Boston. LESTER KINGDON McCULLOUGH (“Mac,” “Let”) Motto: “There is so much good in the worst oj us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us.” Behold Lester McCullough—the gallant of P. H. S.! Every day for four long years he has tramped down from the wilderness of his home town of Saylesville to obtain as much knowledge as he could at P. H. S. It seems, too, that he has found things there quite to his taste, especially certain persons of the other sex. Lester’s whole heart and soul is in jazzing, and whenever he appears at a dance, it’s almost a positive fact that one may see him accompanied by a pretty miss of the sophomore class. “Let” says that he can’t tell exactly what he’ll do next year, though it may be college. Whatever it is, he'll always be remembered by the class of ’’24. GRACE VERONICA McDONALD (“Mac”) Motto: “IVhere there’s life, there’s hope.” Petite, blue-eyed Grace is one of our favorites. Many P. H. S. girls have envied Grace’s sunny disposition. When you meet a girl tripping through our halls, humming snatches of a popular song, with twinkling eyes and a smile on her lip—that’s our Grace. And Grace is no mean dancer; at our proms and receptions, she is always the center of a group of admirers. She is also a first-class rooter, and whenever we have won a game or meet, Grace is there to celebrate; whenever we’ve lost, optimistic Grace cheers up the bunch. Next year, Grace expects to become a second “Tillie the Toiler,” and we are all sure she’ll be a great success. 1924 Pawtucket High School iHiuimimiiiwiiwiimiiNMil twiiWHi«ii� iiii� Mii:iiii,iiiiiniiiiniiiiiii:uiiiiiiiiuiiiittiimi iPiimiiiMiiim!iuiniiiiuiitniiiuiiimiiiniim)iinpniniiauunuiBiinHii«niwiiwiii«niwuwBiiiniHHiiiiiiiuiuuiHiiiwiwiiii ETHEL McKECHNIE (“Et,” “Mac”) Motto: Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone.” HONOR SOCIETY, DRAMATICS (4) Ethel is the musical young lady of Room 24, who plays Beethoven with as much ease as the rest of us play Berlin. Despite the fact that she constantly assures us that she “doesn’t know a thing,” we notice that more than one five appears on her report. Much to the wonder of some of her less fortunate classmates, Ethel is on intimate terms with irgil. of whom she hasn’t the slightest fear. Latin isn’t her chief amusement, however, for she is an active member of the Student Club, and takes part in a great man activities at the “Y” and elsewhere. Ethel expects to enter Pembroke in the fall, where we feel confident that she will continue her good record. 31 mniiBWtmuMm S--------------Iwj BERTHA ELIZABETH McKEE (“Bert,” “Red”) Motto: “Trifles make perfection, hut perfection is no trifle Ouiet! Well, you don’t know “Bert. In arithmetic class, she furnishes all the amusement, while many others receive the blame. ’Hf You ought also to see ’Red ‘ at the “Y. W.” guarding the tall irginia. She certainly is lively there. As for studying, although Bert does most of it between 8:29 (that’s the time she generally arrives) until 8:10, I in some mysterious way, she manages to obtain good marks. Outside ‘ 1 of school, “Bert’s” favorite pastime seems to he entertaining her girl kf friends. Her specialty is telling ghost stories—the weirdest ever heard. Next vear.

CLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY Yea, Ann! The girl who is always chasing the jokes around P. H. S. for the Cleaner, of course. But Ann doesn’t confine herself to that sport—you should see her fingers fly over the keys, one minute playing a Mozart sonata, and the next, the latest jazz music. Anna adores skating above all things, with basketball ranking second. Next September will find “Ann” learning to he a strict, stern teacher at the R. I. C. E., following the example of her beloved “Joe.” No matter how cruel a maitress she may turn out to he. no future pupil of our Anna could help loving her. We speak from experience. ALFRED FRANCIS MELUCCI (“Al”l Motto: “Where there’s a will there’s a way’’ Enter Melucci—dancer, tennis player, ice-skater, and auto speeder. With all his accomplishments, “Al” is an inveterate reader of chemistry books. His earnestness is manifested by his diligent study. He takes keen delight in eluding the speed cops. Alfred is also a constant patron of the dance hall, where he is practically a “sheik” with all the little girls who chase after him with imploring eyes. Apropos to movies, “Al’s” ideas are rather puritanical as he thinks they are a detriment to morality. Alfred doesn't know exactly what he will do next year, hut wherever he goes, the best wishes of good old P. H. S. are sure to follow. iwniuiiiuiiiuiuwiiMnttmiimiMiiii 32 iHimiimnminiiiMiMuiiui Pawtucket High School iiniiiniiiitniunilfmiiiiiiiniiinuiiiniiiiMiiitiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaii 1924 RALPH BERTRAM MILLS (“Bertram”) Motto: “Let your conscience be your guide, but—” MANAGER FOOTBALL (4), ASSISTANT MANAGER SWIMMING (3). DRAMATICS (3) (4), TREASURER DRAMATIC SOCIETY (4), ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER GLEANER (3), CLEANER (4), CLASS BOOK (4), SUPTER COMMITTEE (4), HONOR SOCIETY Occasionally there is a fellow whom even superlatives cannot fully describe. Just look at that bow tie! Ralph is one of those who acquire greatness. In his freshman year he started off by getting 5’s, a habit that he has tried to maintain all through his course. His next two years found him in the full swing of school activities. He managed the football team with wonderful success. His efforts have contributed greatly toward school dramatics, and dances would never be complete without his finale-hopping around. And as “Ye Tattler Ed”—what about him. class? Next year he'll be working just as hard for Brunonia. MILDRED FRANCES MOORKHEAD (“Milly”) Motto: “Honesty is the best policy.” HONOR SOCIETY. DRAMATICS (4 I Here we have “Millie,” one of our petite members. She came to us during our freshman year from West Warwick High School. She has proved herself to be a worthwhile addition to the class of 1924 by being a first class student. “Millie” surely can hustle. One minute she’s here, the next, she's elsewhere. She must be a genius at French, for she can converse rapidly in that language which is so difficult to most of us. “Millie” intends to go out into the business world next year as someone’s “stenog.” If you continue to go on as gayly and swiftly as you have here, your voyage will !)e an easy one. MARY ELIZABETH MURPHY (“Mary”) Motto: “Flee pleasures and they will follow you. poster prize (3) (4) Mary is the girl in P. H. S. who is always besieged by anxious managers of a dance, a track meet or a play, with the same request: “Will you make me a poster?” Her skill in drawing is almost uncanny, and one expects her skiing-girls and her football men to step out of their cardboards and come to life. Mary excels not only in the arts and crafts; as a commercial student, she is an outstanding figure. Instead of furthering her aptitude at drawing at some school of design, Mary intends to join her many classmates at R. I. C. E., and someday to be a full-fledged teacher. The best of luck to you, Mary! EMMA MARIE NELSON (“Em”) Motto: “Keep smiling.” Emma is one of the most popular girls in Pawtucket High, and she deserves her popularity. She is always smiling and cheerful, and at dances! Why, you can hardly get near her, she is in such demand! Her favorite study seems to be arithmetic. At least, she gets the best marks in that subject. Emma is rather vague about her future, but she expects to go to some secretarial school next year. She will probably break a speed record for typing, and win the World Championship in a few years. Howrever, no matter what she undertakes, she will undoubtedly be a great success.

Motto: “Esse quam videre.” You see before you. in Margaret, a girl who is absorbed in music— she plays it, writes it, and reads numberless books on the subject, to say nothing of the concerts and musicales that she attends. In spite of the fact that she is a dignified senior, she has for her most intimate friend a girl from the sophomore class, who is also fond of music, as might be surmised. Margaret is seldom heard, for she is rather shy and retiring, but nevertheless we’ll feel rather lost not to see her tripping in to twenty-nine every morning. Margaret hopes to go up the hill to R. I. C. E. in the fall, to receive the training necessary to become a teacher. JAMES NICHOLES (“Jimmy”) Motto: “Every day has a fresh beginning.” TRACK (1) (2) (3) (4), MANAGER SWIMMING (4) “Jimmy” is a happy-go-lucky fellow, always on the go, who hails from the “wilderness” of Darlington. He is into everything but books. He loves athletics (especially football). He has great concern for his school’s honor, and he rushes around all day long on important errands. “Jimmy” likes girls, too. Especially —? Now don’t be surprised. And although you may not know it, he’s quite a poet. He likes all his subjects, but confesses his study period is best of all. Not that he needs to study, for “Jim” is one of those lucky people who don’t. However, leaving all joking aside, we wish vou the best of luck, James, as you leave old P. H. S. GRAHAM JAMES NORTON (“Crackers”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” FOOTBALL (4), SUPPER COMMITTEE (4), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (4), BASKETBALL (4) Who is that short, stocky fellow, you ask? That’s Graham Norton, one of the close friends of “Tarzan” Farber and the gang. For two years he has been one of the reliable backs on the football team, and has made his letter in this sport. He also plays on the basketball team. He makes no boast about himself as a student, but in American History he is one of the best in the class. The next few years have not been entirely outlined in his mind, but if steady, consistent work can bring success, it will surely come to this member of the class of ’24. FLORENCE MARY NUTTALL (“Flossie”) Motto: “The secret of success is being ready for it when it comes.” DRAMATICS (4), CLEANER (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY “Flossie” is one of the quiet members of our class whom we all (teachers, too! ( think so much of. She is one of our honor pupils, and she certainly deserves to be, for she is always studying. She says she likes all her subjects, and we can readily believe her. Especially bookkeeping! Florence is on the Cleaner Board, too, and she gleans until there are no more gleanings to be found! Florence excels in dramatics, and even though she is a busy little lady, she manages to find time to develop her talent. We know that she will conquer the world with her cheery smile and business-like manners, even as she conquered P. H. S. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nniMintim� nimiiiynnnim------ 34 Pawtucket High School 1924 miiniMiniiiniiinHimnii LOUIS FRITZ ODEN (“Curly”) Motto: “Laugh and live ” tennis (4) Here is “Curly.” You know him,—a lively, vigorous hoy, full of fun, with a smile for everybody. All the boys like him and the girls—well, they can’t just express it. but they think he's pretty nice. He is known to some of the girls by the nickname of “Arrow Collars and the boys call him “Swede.” He is very fond of athletics, right there in track and you should see him play tennis! He likes school, too. Mathematics and drawing are his favorite subjects. He intends to go to Pratt Institute next year and we hope he will meet with success at every hand. Au revoir. Louis; don’t forget old P. H. S. and your friends of the class of 24. HAROLD ANDREW O’DONNELL (“Hal”) Motto: “Failure is but the closed door to success—another try may open it ” Harold dashed into us one morning four years ago from Grove Street, and has been dashing around the corridors of P. H. S. ever since. His sunny smile breaks forth when everyone else is feeling glum, and has been the cause of many a young lady’s partiality for a certain popular song. Y’know, you really must come over. Harold! Harold is an ardent admirer of Nick Carter, and when he is not dancing with Helen, he may be seen eagerly following the adventures of this courageous youth. Harold is not sure what he is going to do next year, but he will probably enter the business world, where we wish him the best of luck. ANNA O’NEILL (“Our Nell”) Motto: ’’Better late than never ” If you hear a gay laugh coming from the direction of twenty-nine at recess time, you'll know who it is. Why. Anna, of course, laughing over some awfully funny joke. Anna’s the vivacious henna-haired little maiden who amuses Mr. Battles’ fourth period with her clever answers to his hard problems. And algebra wasn’t the only thing Anna's clever in, for when it comes to dancing—well, ask Dick, he knows. There isn’t a game that Anna doesn’t attend, and she’s always an enthusiastic cheerer for P. H. S. Next year, Anna hopes to cheer for R. I. State. We'll surely miss you, Anna. LOUISA GLEN PARTINGTON (“Lowie”) Motto: “Don’t do it ” Louisa is one of our sweetest classmates. She doesn’t say very much except to her very closest friends, and although few of us can claim that distinction of being one of her intimate friends, we all know Louisa’s smile, and many times that shy little smile has made us realize that we had a friend in Louisa. This petite blond's favorite color is blue, we think. She looks so well in that shade, which just matches her eyes. Her favorite pastime is hiking, and many good times the P. H. S. girls have had with her on her walks. Next year. Brown will claim this attractive girl, and we wish her the best of luck in the future. 1921 35 Pawtucket Hich School LLOYD MORTON PARTRIDGE (“Lloydie”) Motto: “Ij ycu cant do what’s right, do what’s left.” A scholar and a gentleman—that's “Lloydie. With steady and honest work, he has won the respect of his classmates and has developed a splendid personality, which has made him an agreeable and helpful companion during these four short years. His appearance would teach one to judge him to be a very innocent and sedate young man, but appearances are deceitful, for at times he is quiet, and at other times he is—not. Often It? is found amidst a crowd, springing some witty remark, or quoting some other humorist. After graduating, “Lloydie'1 expects to further his knowledge at Brown University. JOSEPHINE GERALDINE PAYNE (“Jerry”) Motto: “Eat. drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” DRAMATICS (3), CLEANER (4), CLASS ROOK (4), PROPHET (4) Four years ago, “Jerry,” like a great many freshmen, had a reputation for giggling at the least provocation. She has largely outgrown this habit, but the habit of looking on the bright side of everything remains, and makes her one of the most popular members of the class. Jerry” has lieen in several plays, and made a name for herself in that line, but if you think that's all. you should read the stories and poems that she writes. If you want any kind of a poem, humorous or serious, just ask Jerry,” because she's our star poetess. We know that's she’ll be as popular next year at Brown as she has been here. LILA AGNES PEASE (“Lila”) Motto: “Take the day.” If you see a black-haired, hazel-eyed, lively little girl coming along the corridors about 8:35, you will know that it must be Lila. She has pursued her way through school by taking things as they come and never worrying. Lila loves good times and has many of them, but she never neglects her studies too much. She is noted for her wonderful dancing ability, and may be found at all our school dances, and at many others, also. After leaving Pawtucket, Lila expects to further her knowledge at the School of Design or the Rhode Island State College at Kingston. CHARLES PLOTKIN (“Charlie”! Motto: “Hear much but say little.” HONOR SOCIETY. AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY ESSAY PRIZE (4) That’s Charlie all over—not! Every morning, there’ll be two or three waiting for our math wizard to explain some example that has refused solution. He just eats figures in any form whatever. Never was a math shark so agreeable in sharing his home work, and always with a smile. Math and chem are Charlie’s favorites. He is also a debater. He’s always doing his best for the school, either by being present at athletic games or by plunging whole-heartedly in research work for debating. Charlie’s undecided about his career, but intends to go to Brown next September. The class of ’24 wishes you luck in your career, Charlie.

PRESIDENT MATH CLUB (4), LINCOLN ESSAY PRIZE (41 Four years ago, a certain small, shy, quiet little fellow started to make daily trips to that large knowledge factory, situated on Broadway, known as the Pawtucket High School. The years fly by quickly, but, oh! What a difference four small years can make, for “Hal” (such was this little fellow's name) has lost these characteristics and is now a jolly, good-natured fellow, who always has his eyes open for fun. “Hal” is well-liked by all his classmates and by some freshmen also. After graduation, “Hal” expects to further his supply of knowledge at the Rhode Island State College. WILLIAM FRANCIS RAYMOND (“Bill”) Motto: “Never say die. CLASS TREASURER (3) (4), FOOTBALL (3) (4), TRACK (3) (4), BASEBALL (3), DRAMATICS (3) (4), MANAGER GLEANER (4), MANAGER CLASS BOOK (4). FOOTBALL DANCE COMMITTEE (4), MANAGER BASKETBALL (3) Crash! Bang! That’s Bill all over. Wherever there’s anything doing, you are sure to find him on the spot. He’s a likeable fellow, full of pep and spirit for P. H. S. In the fall, you find him making holes in the line at left guard: in mid-winter, he's running the longer distances in indoor track; and in the spring—what would Bill do if he couldn’t throw his beloved hammer at Slater Park? He reinstated basketball by managing a team before it was recognized as a sport in the constitution. Finally, as the end of the year draws near, and you turn in your class dues to Bill, you stop and wonder. He’s some boy. don't you think? MARY HUNTER ROBERTS (“Sis”) Motto: “Why worry? SUPPER COMMITTEE (4), PROPERTY MANAGER “MICE AND MEN’” (4) If you're looking for a girl with pep. one who'll add to the joy of the evening, a perfect dancer, an all-round sport, and the best pal ever—let us present our Mary! “Sis” has a train of admirers wherever she goes, and on Sunday evenings—! As for her rank it studies, it certainly has been wonderful, considering the amount of studying that she has done. In September, Mary goes, with her chum “Babe,” to Wheaton, where her charm and personality will without doubt win for her a prominent place in college activities. May the best of luck attend her! ■tf 1924 Pawtucket High School iiiHiimiiiRuiwiiiMiiniiiiMiiimiimiiiMiiniiiwimiimtiHiiimHmmimtwiwuiiMiimitmiiMtiiaiiMiiiiiiiiuiiintiiiiuiiiii;ii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiii;iiiiwiiimiiiiiiiiaiiii RAYMOND EDWIN RUDDY (‘ Ray”) Motto: “If joy anil duty clash, let duly go to smash.” DRAMATICS (4), SECRETARY SCIENCE CLUB (4), SECRETARY HATH. CLUB (4) Well, well! Look who’s here! If it isn’t “Ruggles.” He is as jolly, humorous, and as cheerful as can be and makes a true friend. He is another one of the fun-loving crowd that congregates in room 29 during lunch-period, consequently “Ray” classes lunch as one of his favorite subjects. He has not taken part in any athletic sport but supported them to the limit. After leaving Pawtucket, “Ray” is going to spend two years at Providence College and then four more at Notre Dame to prepare for the lawyer’s profession and notwithstanding his motto we expect to hear good things of him in the future. MARTHA ELISABETH SALATHE (“Lib,” “Beta”) Motto: ‘'Hitch your wagon to a star.” HONOR SOCIETY “Lib” joined our ranks in her sophomore year, coming from Hazel-ton, Pennsylvania. Her quick answers in classes won her a leading place on the honor list, and there she has stayed ever since, not condescending this year to accept anything below a 5—. She’s the star pupil of the Virgil class, especially in her sight translations, which she rattles o(T as easily as if they were from a first year Caesar. As to her future, “Beta” is undecided. It may be at Wheaton or at Mt. Holyoke that we shall next hear of her, but wherever she goes, the class of ’24 is always with her. PHILIP SCHAFFER (“Phil”) Motto: “If you cant be a lighthouse, bs a caidle.” “Phil” is one of those fellows who do not believe in blowing their own horn, but who might very well engage in that papular pastime. If you are ever aware of his presence you can lie sure it’s not his fault. He gives algebra as his favorite study, but Latin and trig and all the rest of the straight college course subjects have held no terrors for him. In fact, several honor rolls during his four years have contained his name. Next year, he plans to climb the hill to Brown, and the whole class joins in wishing him all the luck in the world. HELEN GLADYS SCHOFIELD (“Helen”) Motto: “Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle.” HONOR SOCIETY Helen, with dazzling blue eyes, bewitching smile, rosy cheeks, and fluffy brown hair, is absolutely indescribable. She s just Helen-—that’s all. Helen has journeyed down Broadway with the crowd every morning for four years and she says they have a “peachy’ time. We can easilv guess why. Mum's the word though! Helen has lots of friends but the nearest and dearest is Mary. In a year or so Helen hopes to be a private secretary and we have our suspicions that she 11 have plenty of chances to have that wish fulfilled, for to us she is absolutely irresistible. Helen has the sincere good wishes of the whole class of 24. Pawtucket High School 1924 niiiiiminwnwiuitiiiiiiniiiiiniimiinmimMHniniiiiimiiiiiiiiniuiniiiminiiiimini ARTHUR JOHN SCHREINER (“Art”) Motto: “Veni Villi Vici.” Arthur came to P. H. S. front Warwick High and entered our class about the middle of the senior year, so we haven’t had the pleasure of his acquaintance for four years, but nevertheless we all like him and are postitive that he is a fine straightforward fellow. And my, hut he certainly is a wonder at math, and the way in which he can digest the principles of trigonometry is marvelous to understand. Art’s favorite pastime is skating—cutting fancy figures on the ice. Besides this, he enjoys the Cape Cod stories by Joseph Lincoln. The coming year Arthur will probably continue his wonders in math at R. I. State. SARAH SL1FKIN (“Red”) Motto: ■B—HA—P.” Yes, sir, here is one of the wide-awake members of the class. “Red” certainly makes things hum. Not the life of the party, for Sarah doesn’t like parties, but the life of the classroom is the term to apply to her. How about sixth period? She advises us to he happy and practices what she preaches. And brilliant? I should say so! She is one of the “brilliantly clever” of P. H. S. She says she likes shorthand and typewriting best of all her subjects and intends to perfect them by entering Bryant and Stratton’s Business College next year with the object of becoming a teacher. Good-by and good luck, Sarah! HARRY SHOLOVITZ (“Harry,” “Shully”) Motto: “All is not sound that you hear.” Look at “Shully’s” picture and see how good-looking he is. Yet he never speaks with a girl unless he has to. He is a woman-hater, a firm believer in his motto. As a good mixer, he'd be hard to treat, for his winning grin makes friends wherever he goes. In Harry we have one of those few fellows who have dared the stormy seas of Virgil. Latin and French are his favorites, with study periods a close second. After four vears of Latin our language prodigy has determined that the auto-repair-ing business is as good as any. You’ll be successful if anyone will be, “Shully,” and the class of ’24 wishes you lots of luck in your future business. JOSEPHYNE SINGELE (“Jo”) Motto: “Silence is more eloquent than words.” “Jo” is one of the “petite” and popular girls of our class, for she appreciates a good time, whether in school or out and her goodnature has won her many and many a friend. She does very well in all her studies although we have never seen her carrying many books home anv night. “Jo” has taken a normal course in order to become a schoolma'am. but after taking this course she has decided that she doesn’t care so much for the career. We wonder why? Now, she says that she is going to take an advanced secretarial course at some business college. No matter where it is, we feel sure that she will make good and she has the good wishes of the class with her. imiiimimmiimiiiHiiiiiiiHniiMmaiiMiimiiniiiiniHiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiinuiMiiiiairaiiiuitMiiiiiaiiiuiini 1924 Pawtucket Hich School 39 lUWMBiiiiiiiliiuiiuiiiiiiiiuiiiMMiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiMiiMiiMHwiiiiHiiiwiwiiiwiiiuiiiaiiiiiiiiiuiiiMiiwiiHiiiiiiiiiuiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiminmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimimHmiiiimiti HELEN ANNA SLIGHT (‘-Helen”) Motto: “Variety is the spice of life.” Everybody knows Helen with her cute bobbed hair, and her twinkling brown eyes. But even if you do know her, we’ll have to tell you where she sits—it’s 29. You see, she’s in her home room so little that it can hardly lx1 called that. Where is she all the time? Why. down in the junior hall. Now, you don’t think so much of her, do you? Anybody that deserts our ranks to improve the junior hall—but, probably, she sticks up for ’21 down there. Helen says she’s going to be a teacher, sometime. All right, we’ll believe you. but how about that curly-haired young man? But whatever you do, Helen, the best of luck and good LEWIS FRANCIS SLOCUM (“Si”) Motto: “There is luck in leisure.” Whiz! Bang! Just like a flash of lightning! It’s 8:28 and Slocum just breezed in. Well, cheer up, plenty of time before the bell. Lewis. Oh. don’t you know Lewis? He’s the tall, red-headed chap who sits in 29. Always smiling and ready for a good time—that’s Lewis. He’s the champion eraser-thrower of '24, and only professional “duckers” can get by when lie’s indulging in this popular sport. Lewis is also a popular dancer, and it’s no wonder, for he sure can step! Next year. Lewis will probably attend R. I. State College and will, no doubt, add a great many more to his long list of friends. What do you say, Lewis? HELEN GERTRUDE SMITH (“Helen”) Motto: “Look for the silver lining.” Helen is the girl with the brown, curly hair who came to P. H. S. from Grove Street, and she has been a hearty supporter of the activities of the school ever since. She just adores dancing, and whenever the chance arrives, she’s right there on hand, all ready to jazz, and make a great time of it. Then the piano helps to amuse her, for being able to play it is one of her many accomplishments. Although United States History is terribly dry, she insists that it is her favorite subject. Another year, Helen will probably attend Normal School and may the best of luck go with her upon entering this new career. MARY LOUISE SMITH (“Mary”) Motto: “Keep smiling.” ’ Mary is a girl who is in great demand all the time, not only because she has a jolly good nature, but also for the fact that she has a fine soprano voice. She is most always at the movies with her inseparable Helen, for both of them are regular fans, but if she isn’t there, you’ll either find her practising her latest vocal selections or in the kitchen concocting some delectable dainty. And even if something goes wrong and the latest recipe doesn’t work, Mary still lives up to her motto. In fact a frown is something that we’ve never seen on her face. September will find Mary at R. I. C. E. with a crowd of other P. H. S. girls. miiimiiiiiiiNiiiaiiiiTtiiimiin iHiiiiiiiiiuiiiwininiiiHiiMuwiinuiiMiiiwiimiiiiiiiraiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiimiiititiniiiiiiiiiiiMiiMiiMiiMiM 40 Pawtucket High School 1924 THELMA LILLIAN STILES (“Thel”) Motto: “Once a friend always a friend “Thel” is that demure, young miss who certainly lives up to her motto, for anyone who ever becomes acquainted with her is a friend, forever. Although she is rather quiet, every now and then we hear a little laugh and we know it's “Thel.” Really she is a wonderful cook. M—mm, but aren't those cakes good! And speaking about sewing, Thelma is a perfect wonder at it: dresses, jacquettes, and other feminine apparel for milady just come from her skilful hands, perfect creations in the latest mode. A good friend, a good student, and a good sport is “Thel” and we all wish her great success in her future career as a teacher. DOROTHY ABB1E SULLIVAN (“Dot”) Motto: “Knowledge directs practice but practice increases knowledge “Dot” was just three years late in coming to us. as she attended Plain-ville High until her senior year. Though to all who do not know her very well, she appears rather quiet and demure, yet that mischievous smile occasionally breaks forth, and proves that she’s not as quiet as she would lead one to believe. “Dot’s” favorite study seems to he history, since she takes two kinds and shines in both. This young lady is much envied by her less fortunate companions because of her ability to assume an innocent air and recite in the midst of her giggling neighbors. “Dot” is undecided as to her future career, but whatever it is, we are sure she will succeed. ALLYN KINGSLEY SUTTELL (“Al,” “Sut”) Motto: “If you cant smile, grin. DRAMATICS (4), CLEANER BOARD (4), CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE (4) “Al” is the smiling youngster in 29 who left Tech High two years ago to join our class of ’24. He is the originator of some of those snappy jokes that have appeared in the Gleaner this year. “Al” is also endowed with dramatic ability. We can vouch, too, for his prowess in wielding the noble and uplifting eraser. “Sut” attends all school activities and offers physical as well as financial support. He says that he has three favorite periods: public speaking, lunch, and study. He never studies and yet gets fine marks. R. I. State is going to give him a business training next year. We wish you lots of luck in your future endeavors, “Al.” ROLAND PAUL SW ANSON (“Whitey”) Motto: “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men If you ever miss Swanson, look for a Dodge whizzing past at a rate exceeding the speed limit by some twenty miles and you'il see his blond head behind the wheel. Don’t ever try to catch up with him—it’s impossible. As for chewing gum, Roland is the best example of perpetual motion that we know. Swanson has hardly missed a game of any sort, partly because he likes athletics and partly because he likes his car. Roland doesn’t intend to continue his education in the confining walls of any school, but means to dwell in the vast open stretches of the West—whether as a daring cowboy or a plain business man he doesn’t know'. He starts for California in the fall. .............min mm IIUIIIIIIUIII iiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiuiiiiuiiiiitiiii Pawtucket High School 41 1924 iiMiiMmiiiiuiiiiiniiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiuiiiuiiiitiiiiiiiiim NATHAN BARLOW SWIFT (“Nate”) Motto: “Studiis el rebus houestis.” swimming (2) (3) (4) For four years “Nate” has been with us in all our trials and tribulations. He has lent at all times a smiling face and a helping hand to our different activities. On the football team “Nate” proved that he could be relied upon to block up the hole at guard, and also has been a point man on our swimming team for two years. As a last activity he plays the cornet in our orchestra. So you see what a busy time “Nate” has and you wonder how he gets his studies, but he does and in a satisfactory manner. Next year we’ll hear of “Nate” at Moses Brown, keeping up the old standards of P. II. S. in their activities. ELLEN FRANCES TAHF.NY (“Ellen”i Motto: “A handful of pood life is better than a bushel of learning.” GLEANEK (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY Ellen is small and bob-haired, but her lack of height does not seem to interfere with the capacity for absorbing English and shorthand; a thing which is a continual source of wonder to her companions. She might be termed a walking encyclopedia of information about these two subjects, and yet when you meet her outside of class, she declares that she didn’t study at all. Nevertheless, she is one of our star commercial pupils, and a particularly bright one at that. She might win the World Championship for speed in shorthand in the near future. Who knows? KAROLINE LOUISE THAYER (“K”) Motto: “When do we eat?” GLEANER BOARD (3 I (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY “Kay’s” merry shout may be heard most any time any day when something extraordinary happens, and it seems as if extraordinary things were frequent occurrences when she is around. We’d surely be surprised not to see her enjoying herself in the midst of a laughing crowd. Karoline is a very talented mademoiselle; she drives a tractor for recreation; practices on the skiis; plays Mah Jong; and when reports come out “Kay’s” is one of the best—fives and more fives. One really can’t describe “Kay,”—except as a jolly girl, full of fun. and pep. and one of the most brilliant members of our class. WELLESLEY DONALD THOMAS (“Professor”) Motto: “Read a little, and find out how much you don’t know.” Radio! Science! Yes, it must be Thomas for when we think of those two words, “Thomas” naturally pops into our heads. The Radio Club simply couldn’t have gotten along without him. He is a regular expert along this line. And as for knowledge of insects and sciences, of all kinds, why he was actually needed in every one of his classes. Do you want to know where the rhinocerous iguana is found or anything else that is out of the ordinary? Just ask our scientist. He knows. We do not know what you are planning to do in the future, but whatever it may be. the class of 1924 wishes you success and happiness in everything.

BASEBALL (31 (4), BASKETBALL (3) (4), HOCKEY (1) (21 (3) Cl), VICTORY BALL COMMITTEE (4) “Hip” will always be remembered for his football record at P. II. S. “Herbie” was the best quarterback in the state and ran our team with wonderful results. “Hip ' is a four letter man and a born athlete. In baseball we find him stopping “hot ones” behind the batter; in basketball he was one of our star shooters, and he made his fourth P by playing a fine game on the ice. Besides this “Hip” showed his merits in the swimming tank and in track. He can l o seen at all our dances chaperoned by his sister, and although he says he doesn't get far with the “wimmen. he's a great favorite. Next year will probably find “Hip” starting another wonderful athletic career at R. I. State. WILLIAM FRANCIS TREANOR (“Bill”) Motto: “Fate decides.” “Bill” is the boy with the shining black hair and still more shining smile, who sits in room 29. ‘'Bill” has been with us from our ignominious freshman year up to our illustrious senior one, always with the same cheerful grin, no matter what goes wrong. “Look for the silver lining” is certainly his motto. Rain or shine, promptly at 8:30, “Bill slides into his seat, despite the late dance of the night before, and we’ve heard from more than one fair maiden that he's quite proficient at the Terpsichorean art. Next year “Bill ’ hopes to go to Providence College. The best of luck, “Bill!”' MARJORIE TUCK ASSISTANT EDITOR GLEANER (3), EDITOR GLEANER (4), EDITOR CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY. DRAMATICS (4), JUNIOR DANCE COMMITTEE (3 I, SUNDLUN MEDAL (4 I Marjorie is the little girl whom you always see as the center of a large group of friends, at every dance, play, or football game that we have. She is an all-round good sport and is distinctly “one of the gang.” She is right at home behind the wheel of her car, and driving it is one of her favorite outdoor sports. For four years she has led the class in scholarship by a wide margin, and is one of the very few who know what those mythical five-plusses really look like. And as an actress—well, we all must honor “Honor Bright.” Next year. Mount Holyoke will be the scene of her activities. BERTHA EVELYN TYLER (“Bert”) Motto: 66Let us live while we live.” HONOR SOCIETY Here’s the girl with the pep. She surely is a good sport and will try anything once. Bertha attends most of our games and she enjoys dancing, but she must study some time, judging from her marks. If, at recess, you happen to be looking for Bertha, approach 27. and you’ll hear her. No matter how blue you feel, her giggles will cheer you up for the rest of the day. How we wish that we could understand Spanish! Bertha is a genius in this language and in it converses secretly with her most intimate friends. Bertha, the best wishes of your class go with you, in attaining, in the business world, the goal of success which you are well equipped to reach. 1924 Pawtucket High School 43 ALBERT JOHN1 WATSON (“Al”) Motto: All that you do. do with your might. Things done by halves are never done right ” HONOR SOCIETY Who is this? Yes, indeed, it’s our “Al,” one of our quiet-looking fellows who is ever ready to lend a hand. Although not an active member of the Athletic Association, he upholds and promotes all school activities. In spite of outward appearances, Albert enjoys a good time. He takes a great interest in his history and bookkeeping, his two favorite subjects. He is planning to attend some business college next year and continue the work for which he has already set a firm foundation. We sincerely hope, “Al,” that you will have a bright and happy future. ETHEL HANNAH WINTERBOTTOM (“Spud”) Motto: “Smile awhile.” Ethel is one of the liveliest and most jolly of our senior class. We always find Ethel where some fun is going on. This bobbed haired miss is very fond of dancing and she delights in the movies—but they must be of one special kind. Ethel’s favorite study is applied design and her favorite pastime is spent with a certain young man. Ethel is always present at the ball games, supporting the teams, and cheering for the class of ’24 and P. H. S. Although Ethel is undecided about next year, we know she’ll be successful in whatever she undertakes and she has the best wishes from the class of ’24. METARD YESSIAN (“Metard”) Motto: “Slow but sure.” ORCHESTRA (1) (2) (3) (4) Here we have Metard Yessian. If you haven’t seen him roaming the halls of old P. 11. S. during the last four years, you must have seen him in that flivver of his. Jitneying was pretty good sport for a while, wasn’t it. Metard? Yessian is one of the fiddlers of the class and for four years he has held his own with the best musicians that Pawtucket High could produce. Next year, he intends to continue his education at some higher institution of learning, probably Providence College. Wherever you go, Metard, you will have the best wishes of your classmates. JAMES GABRIEL ZAYAT (“Curly”) Motto: “Esse ijuam videri.” “To be rather than to seem ’ is a fine motto, especially since it's a Latin one, but this one fits “Curly” perfectly. No one at school has the permanent wave or rather the hundreds of permanent waves that he can boast of. He’s the envy of all the girls, for the waves stav in no matter how rainy or damp it is. “Curly” says that he delights in study periods, although from a little research we found that in his senior year he has had no study periods. You see. he’s a modest chap. Medicine is to be the field of “Curly’s” endeavor, and he intends to enter Providence College next fall to study this profession. 44 Pawtucket High School 1924 iiMuaNmiiiMtmiiiHiiMHMniiiiiimiiiMinuniiuMiiiiHMimiMiMimiiiMiiMiiuuiuaiiiMiiiNiiNNiiMiiiaiMMiiuiiiniMm MARTIN MYER ZUCKER (“Rajah”) Motto: “Magna magnis para.” DEBATING (3) (4), DRAMATICS (3) (4), GLEANER (3) (4) CLASS BOOK (4).

Our own “Cicero”—the fellow who generally convinces his most worthy opponents that they are all wrong. “Rajah” is a quiet studious chap, hut he is right there with the goods every time.

Little did we realize then, as we passed in review before the eyes of the sophisticated upperclassmen. that we should emerge, four years later, as the greatest class ever to pass through the portals of that school. We were the last class to have the satisfaction of spending our entire four years in the old building. This necessitated afternoon sessions, and we were obliged to use desks filled with the books of the juniors who sat there in the morning. This, of course, was inconvenient, but many in the class did not mind, for they soon found that the juniors would very obligingly answer any notes left in the desks overnight. In some uncanny way, however, that mysterious person known as the “Tattler Editor” learned of this, and when the would-be sheiks saw their names in print, all correspondence of this kind immediately ceased. In the spring, the freshman baseball team easily beat the sophomores; we were so good at ball, in fact, that it was decided to even matters up by putting some of our men on the school team. Under the system of afternoon sessions we were barred from all football and baseball games and we could not help feeling that the failure of our school to win a championship in either of these sports was due to our absence from the field of battle. In those old days we had almost no study periods, a thing which made the freshman year by far the hardest, and we were glad when the time came for us to take our place as sophomores. SOPHOMORE YEAR Sophomores! At last we had reached the long desired goal! Now we could associate on equal terms with the revered juniors and seniors who previously had condescendingly looked upon our famous class of ’24. But we did not have the chance to look with disfavor on the toddling freshmen because the new system of housing the freshmen in the Church Hill Grammar School was put into operation that year as well as the lengthening of the daily session till two o’clock. The permanent list was also started and how loathful we were to make its acquaintance! Mr. Ruff, our assistant principal, was promoted to the position of principal of Church Hill and left the Broadway building to take up his new duties there. There is not one of us who does not remember the singing period on Tuesday mornings w'hen we used to make the whole building echo with our lusty singing, sometimes with and sometimes without Mr. Ladd’s approval. On October 10, 11. and 12, we had no school on account of the celebration of Pawtucket’s Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary. On Founders’ Day, October 10, the Pawtucket High School entered two floats in the parade; one representing the Classical Department, and the other, the Commercial Department. These were very well received by the public as were the various activities in which the members of our class engaged during this celebration. The Parent-Teacher Association was formed during that winter. During the week of February 12, the class met in the hall and were entertained by readings, etc., by some of its members. Several entertaining short plays were presented during the year by the Dramatic Society in the school, at the Y. M. C. A., and in the Star Theatre. All of iUHnintiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiMntiitmitiiiiiiniiiHiiiiiiiiiiiitMiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiDiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliin:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriniiiMitiMifiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiMiiituiir Pawtucket High School 1924 46 OMHiMiiMimiMimiiuiiimmnitmiiiiiiiiiHmtuiiii these plays were thoroughly enjoyed by the class of ’24. On April 11. 1922, the school was saddened by the news of the death of Mr. Frank Ormond Draper, who had been our Superintendent of Schools for sixteen years. The vacancy caused by his death was filled by Mr. William A. Newell for many years Supervisor of Drawing in our schools. For the first time in many years a tennis team was formed and our class had the honor of havin'!: at least one member make the team. The Girls’ Athletic Association was also formed that year and several girls’ athletic teams were organized. The class of ’24 had 100% membership in this association. Our Sophomore year ended with the election of officers for the ensuing year. JUNIOR YEAR During the summer we heard rumors that the school was to be divided into two departments, the Classical and Commercial, one to meet in the Church Hill building, and the other at Broadway. We feared that this would mean the end of all school spirit, so we were glad to find ourselves, when school finally opened, still united in the old building. When we returned, we saw many changes. Our former Principal, Mr. Elmer S. Hosmer, had resigned to take the position of Professor of Music at the Rhode Island College of Education. His place had been taken by Mr. Lucius A. Whipple, Superintendent of the State Home and School, who had formerly been a teacher of mathematics at P. H. S. The building itself had been changed while we were away, and more changes were l eing made all through the following winter. To make room for the increased number of pupils, many classrooms had been cut in two. The hall was still small, so that it was never possible to have the whole school meet there at one time. We also found another thing that was new to us. The P. H. S. Institution for Savings was started: banking hours were from 8:30 to 8:40, one day a week. It is impossible to calculate how much of our money that would ordinarily have gone into the tin boxes of the lunch room, was turned into the coffers of this bank, but the amount must have been vast, for the general health of the school, greatly impaired by too much candy, soon showed a marked improvement. It was decided by the school department to bring German back into the curriculum. Somehow the rumor got around that this subject was easier than French, and consequently the German classes were soon large. Although the hall was small it was large enough to he used during the year for several short trial debates between the classes. The interest of the school in these debates was very great, due. perhaps, to the fact that girls took part for the first time; also due. no doubt, to the fact that they were held in school hours. The hall was not large enough to use for plays, however, so we were obliged to travel to the James C. Potter School to see the Dramatic Society in action. The juniors who took part in the first two plays of the year showed, as might be expected, great ability. Basketball was started as a regular school sport right after the close of the football season. We “point with pride” to the fact that on this, the first basketball team to represent the school, the manager and his assistant and all but two of the players were members of our class. With only one week of practice before the schedule started, and with an inexperienced team, the season was counted a very successful one. The minstrel show this year became a part of the Parent-Teacher Association “Round-Up.” At this production, the first of its kind, all the talent in the school, and almost all of the money, was successfully rounded up. So much money was rounded up, in fact, that when we came to spend it at the end of the year for sweaters and medals, we had hard work to use it all. Our Junior Prom had all the success that was prophesied for it. and brought great credit on the hard-working committee. Always living up to our reputation as a progressive class. wre were the first to bring our parents and teachers together at a school dance, and we sincerely hope that this custom will be continued by all classes which follow' in our wake. The seniors revived the old Freak Day of bygone years and we went into mourning for them the next day. not only to follow the established custom, but to show the world that their poor efforts were not half as successful as ours would be. The senior play, “A Tailor-Made Man.” was presented in May at the Star Theatre. Because of the large number in the cast, a fewr juniors were used in minor parts. The Dramatic Society and the Gleaner Board both held theatre parties a few weeks before graduation. Along about this time, the realization came 1924 Pawtucket Mich School 47 to us that in the next year we would he the ones to write The Gleaner. and to collect money for the Athletic Association; and that we, as seniors, would get most of the blame and most of the credit for everything that went on at school. Fully aware of the great burdens we would have to carry, we elected our senior class officers. SENIOR YEAR At last we had reached the coveted distinction of seniors, and what a thrill of pride we experienced when we realized ourselves to he the “class supreme” in P. H. S.! We hardly recognized the building when we reentered it in September, so great were the alterations. Owing, however, to the uncompleted construction, we had no hall and no library, but we had a fine new lunch room, steel lockers, and many new improvements. In November the Shenandoah, the largest dirigible in the world, passed over Pawtucket on its flight from New York to Boston, and school was dismissed for a few minutes so that everyone might see it. A Mathematics Club was formed, and several successful meetings were held. The Debating Society attracted considerable attention and held some fine debates. The Track Team, as usual, won all the interscholastic honors. In our annual basketball series with Central Falls High School, Pawtucket won and therefore is the proud possessor of the Frank Marlin trophy for this vear. The cup was awarded at the banquet given by the Lion’s Club. The Girls’ Team also won in the series with the girls of Central Falls. Both teams had a very successful year. The Dramatic Society, under the able supervision of .Miss Flora Curtis, presented two very fine productions, in which several members of the class of ’24 participated. At the production of the second school play, “Honor Bright.” in James C. Potter School, Mrs. Wood, the President of the Parent-Teacher Association, presented the twenty-nine honor pupils of our class with the Rhode Island Honor Society Pins, in token of their excellent work. Mr. Whipple also congratulated the honor pupils and urged them to continue the good work. On January 21 we held our Freak Day, that day for which we had so long been planning. It surely was a great success and was one of the best Freak Days ever staged in P. H. S. A very successful Student-Alumni Dance was held in Hutchison Hall in March. The Gleaner Board enjoyed a theatre party in May. The annual Senior Play was presented in May, in our new hall, and we believe that it rivaled and stood a little ahead of any other ever staged in P. H. S. The Class Banquet was held in Hutchison Hall and the Senior Reception was successfully staged in Payne Hall. Thus ended our senior year, as well as our four happy, successful years in P. H. S.. which we surely will never forget and the teachings of which we shall take with us into broader fields of life.

All applicants please address their replies to Mr. Wolf. Box 35. advertisement appeared in an April lion of the Pawtucket Times. We, only two class prophets in cap-ity, despairing of ever accomplishing an impossible task, determined to take this method of leaving the earth, rather than be lynched by an angry mob of patrons of the P. H. S. Class Book. We secured the position, and on the first of May, seated in the spacious compartment of the rocket, with provisions for twenty (or a ten years trip! began our long journey. Owing to some law of nature, possibly the speed at which we were travelling, we fell into a deep sleep, and were not awakened until the rocket gave a severe jolt and ceased its motion. On looking at each other we were convinced that we were at least twenty years older. The first thing to do was to find the radio set among the provisions, and next, to set it up. This done, we tuned in on “Station WJAR, The Outlet Company, Providence. R. I. Announcer, Fred Brown. The first number on the program is Society News. Stand by for one minute.” Evidently this was something new, for when we left the earth, we had never heard anything more than a concert, so we listened attentively when someone l egan to read: “Mr. Martin Zucker, one of the most promising scholars since Socrates, has been awarded his 143rd college degree. Mr. Zucker is at present working on seven more, three of which he will receive next month. He says the first hundred years are the hardest. “M iss Marjorie Tuck and Mr. Allyn Suttell, noted Shakesperian actors, have arrived at the Providence Opera House to play ‘Romeo and Juliet. It is the opinion of critics that in playing the balcony scene, they give the most superb exhibition of love making since the play was written. “Ruth Aiken, Hope Arnold. Helen Barrett and Dorothy Lees, noted dancers of the ‘Follies,’ are summering in Honolulu where they are attracting much attention.” Here the speaker’s voice grew indistinct and we heard no more, but on turning the dial once more, we heard the stentorian tones of Henry Cooney, accompanied by much wild applause. “Station B I) will give the results of the ring contests at the National A. C. Arena. “In the main bout. Bill Treanor. candidate for the national lightweight championship, knocked out Lloyd Partridge, title holder, in the seventh round of their scheduled ten round match. Partridge gave an extraordinary exhibition of fighting gameness when he regained his feet after four knockdowns in the last round. In the second round he knocked Treanor in the head with a right and left to the jaw which made his back teeth rattle. Treanor says when he puts on more weight and grows a little, he is going out for Dempsey’s sc alp. “In the preliminaries Abie Cohen defeated Red Evans on the mat in twenty-six minutes of wrestling. Evans was not in the form that has characterized him in some of his exhibitions. He seems to be slipping. Cohen says if Treanor succeeds in beating Dempsey, he will try Strangler Lewis.” In a few moments Henry’s familiar voice died awav also, and though we tried frantically to get him back again, we only succeeded in getting a whir of static in our ears and a confusion of meaningless sounds until— “Station LIZ. private station of Henry Ford. 1924 uiiwiiiniiiiBiiiinni.'iiiiuiiiiniiiimnmiiHiiwiiiMiiiuuianiuiiinuiiuiiiiwiiwiiiiiiiiMiiMiNiHiimiiiaiiiMiiMiimiiiiiHiniiimiiiniiimiiiuiiiHiinMnminmwnMiUi Pawtucket High School 49 Mr. Joseph Doll, the noted globe trotter, will give a brief resume of his various trips about tiie world, for the benefit of any of his P. H. S. classmates who may be listening. It is a great honor to have Mr. (Doll with us tonight, as he is much in demand as a lecturer and entertainer.” In a few minutes Joe began to speak. “Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to be addressing you tonight, and as 1 know you are all anxious that I begin my little narrative, I shall omit the preliminaries, and begin to tell you about my most interesting trip about the world. “It is surprising how very small the globe is, when one really travels, for on getting off at Palermo, Sicily, the first face I saw was that of Alfred Melucci, beaming with smiles and cordiality. “After embracing one another, Melucci led me to the finest hotel, kept by Metard Yessian and Paul Martesian, who were amusing themselves in this fashion, Yessian having decided to take a rest from his enthusiastic audiences, and Paul also. “We dined together and discussed our former classmates for a long time, after which I decided to take a walk by the water front. “1 noticed a large ship, and being greatly interested, inquired about it and found it to be under the command of Skipper Dodge and his dear friend. Commodore Keough, who walked the deck ablaze with medals, and shouted orders to the sailors, Wellesley Thomas, Everett McCabe and Janies Holburn, in a loud, fierce voice. “I had barely time to nod to these when I noticed Josephine Singele perched on a dock reading the usual novel to a group of ardent sailors, among them Charlie Hulme and Gordon Hall, who seemed more interested in Josephine than in the novel. “I decided that 1 had better depart early the next morning, which I accordingly did, and ere many days, I found myself in London, where I found that Bill Litterick had become the Lord Mayor. “After calling upon him and being cordially received, I was introduced to his wife, who proved no other than Marjorie Carnie, as sweet as ever, and very proud of her clever husband. I was presented with the key to the city by Bill, who himself accompanied me on my visits to Westminster Abbey and the King’s Palace. “It was at the palace that we met Margaret Ferguson and Ralph Blackmar, upon their honeymoon. “In Venice I met my old friends, Norton and Titmas, being ignominiously led away by a policeman whom I recognized as James Zayatt, while in a gondola I saw Margaret Casey and Vera Eastham who were weeping copiously. “Zayatt informed me gruffly that they were being arrested for flirting, although Margaret and Vera tried in vain to induce him to give up the unhappy prisoners, who could not speak the language of the place to Zayatt. The latter evidently had forgotten that he had ever spoken English. “On my arrival in Paris I noticed a large crowd gathered in the public square and thinking I was about to behold a historical curio of some kind. I pushed my way to the front. Whom should 1 see but Anna O'Neill, masquerading under the name of Mademoiselle Something or Other, and giving beauty chats to enthusiastic listeners (mostly men I on “Be the Woman You Would Like to Be.” I observed Charles Plotkin in the front row. with Albert Watson fighting in vain for a place. “Ethel Copp, Marion Cullen and Marv Collins passed out circulars and samples of the face clay which were quickly snapped up. “Wearying of this, 1 turned down a street and came to Schaffer’s Cafe, where I met Phil, beaming with joy upon seeing a friend from P. H. S. Upon sitting down I heard a voice declaiming a love sonnet, and turning around 1 saw Sidnev Brown, much inspired by the presence of a dancer, Elsa Gramelsbach, who, with Roma Guillemette. was evoking much loud applause. “Sitting at a table nearby wras Bertha Tyler, Helen Schofield, and Grace Godfrey, and farther down the line, Ethel Winterbottom and James Nichols were keeping time with their feet to the music, and beaming upon everyone about them. I concluded that they were on their honeymoon and went over to congratulate them. “After complimenting Sydney, who, I learned, was growing famous as a poet, I proceeded farther on to a modest tea room, kept by Marv Kelly and Anna McMahon who were doing settlement work among the heathen. After exchanging greetings with Joe Egan and John Doyle, who were seated by the door in the uniform of gendarmes, and munching ham sandwiches, I hurried to catch a train to take me to Rome. “Although I had been here many times ljefore, I was nevertheless eager to see it once more, and on stepping from the train, was delighted to see Ralph Mills and Emma Nelson who were seeing Rome for the first time and according to the ancient saying, ‘doing as Romans do.’ They informed me that they had just- passed Sara 50 1924 Pawtucket High School Slifkin, Esther Harootunian and Alice Johnson on the road, so 1 hurried on, hoping to catch a glimpse of them. “Failing in this. I betook myself to the Catacombs, where I met Mary Murphy busily sketching. She informed me that she was fleeing from her many admirers, and very proudly told me about the large sums which she had been ofTered for her paintings. “She also had met the P. H. S. sight-seeing party, and told of meeting Louisa Partington, Helen Smith and Ruth Davis, the day before at St. Peters. “It was growing late when I bade her adieu and on the street I bumped into Norman Bank-art. Melvin Carter. Thomas Harding and Edgar Maynard, singing a bacchanalian song at the top of their lungs. “Not wishing to embarrass them, and concluding they were enjoying their trip beyond their expectations, I hurried by, but not before observing Dexter Luther who had been recently appointed Chief of Police. “Before I went to bed, I heard Anna Darling play a most inspiring selection on the piano, and Mary Smith sing “I Love You.” I heard that they had both been offered a fabulous sum by Signor La Plante, to display their talents on the stage, but had refused. “During my trip through Russia I chanced to meet Lucia Hoogasian who was a waitress in a neighboring hotel. She offered to show me about the town, but as I was in a hurry to get to the station, I refused her kind invitation. At the station, I met Thomas Johnston, who was the Moscow correspondent for the Boston Globe. He wras going to Moscow so I had a traveling companion. On the train my ticket was- taken by Fred Burns, the conductor, who recognized in us twro of his old schoolmates. Directly across from us sat Marguerite Lebcl and Charles Fiske, who were on their honeymoon, and in front of us was Louis Biron. a business man, traveling on his vacation. We arrived at Moscow and I met upon the street, Dick Martin and his wife, the former Florence Nuttall, who said they had been living there for some time. Florence says the climate just suits their health. At the hotel Regina Gramelsbaeh acted as interpreter, and I registered in the book which Edwin Fiske, the hotel clerk, handed to me. I then rode upstairs to my room in an elevator piloted by Rose Levin. “Upon arising next morning I made my reservations for Greenland and after bidding my friends farewell, started on my long, cold journey. “I did not expect to meet anyone but natives in this isolated part of the world, and therefore was greatly astonished on being greeted by Ray-Ruddy, who told me that he was selling straw hats to the Eskimos, in partnership with Leonard Duckworth, whose clever advertising was bringing in rich profits for the firm. “While 1 w'as talking with them a sleigh came along with Elizabeth Salathe and Nathan Swift singing “Jingle Bells” to the amazement of two Eskimos who were standing nearby. “I learned that Bill Raymond was about somewhere collecting material for his latest novel, of which Grace Bradv was the heroine. The novel was to be produced upon the screen with Virginia Broome as the actress. “Down at the Philippines I found Dot McCann teaching the natives how' to swim, and writing telegrams to A1 at a tremendous cost. “On visiting the school, 1 wTas surprised to find Doris Cherrington and Russell Goddard, two Latin teachers, and close behind them was George Dixon, using his eloquence on the natives, doing missionary work. “The next old friends w'ere Farrell and Duffy. They were going to see a vaudeville show' and nothing loath. I went w ith them. There was Lila Pease, Hazel Marsh, and Ethel McKechnie, in grass skirts, doing specialty dances, while Emma Lennon shone as a toe dancer of great merit. “In the audience I recognized Bertha McKee and Eleanor Hughes and tried to get their attention, but they were too much occupied with Lester McCullough and Ambrose -McAlevy to notice me. “In Spain I decided to go to a bull fight, and who should the matador be but Johnny Arnold. In the balconv Senoritas Zulmah Gardener, Marie Henderson, Catherine Leonard and Charlotte Frost were applauding vigorously, and casting amorous glances at the daring hero. “Sealed beside the King of Spain was Bernard Burns, who was acting as interpreter to his majesty, and his Queen, Helen Lennon. “Mary Roberts and Marion Johnson were searching through the dust for a diamond ring which the fair Mary had lost. They were the center of the attraction, even more so than the bull. The girls were assisted in the search for the ring by Harry Sholovitz and Harold O'Donnell. “On my last South American trip I went out of my way to stop at the sheep ranch in Argentina, kept by my two schoolmates, Oden and Holland. While I was there I noticed a neat 1924 Pawtucket High School jtnuuiiraimraDmiMMnMnminiiMiimimiintiiiiaiiMiinMii 51 uiiimiiiitiiimiiiHiiiniimiiaiiitiiuiimiuiiiimiimiiufliimiiiiHiinuii little cottage in the valley. My host, on seeing this, volunteered the information that it belonged to Swanson, who lived there with his wife, the former Helen Slight. “When I reached the city, I noticed the usual picturesque street scenes. A crowd of people standing about among carts and stands while the proprietors attempted to sell things. Kelley and Slocum were demonstrating their extraordinary abilities at snake-charming; Dot Arnold was selling patent bathing suits and egg-beaters, while Roland Gignac and Isabelle Dean danced exhibition dances to draw the crowd. At one of the carts, Dorothy Sullivan and Arthur Schreiner w'ere buying a second hand pair of “New and Improved” false teeth from Grace McDonald. Grace says ‘Even if you have your own teeth it’s well to have another pair on hand for an emergency.’ “However, the joys of traveling are only surpassed by the joys of homecoming. How good it felt to land in Washington, D. C., and go up to the White House. A special invitation had been accorded me, and there I found A1 Henry, the president of the class of ’24 at P. H. S. Safe in the White House he sat, recognized by all as the straightest, whitest man that ever occupied the Presidential chair, whose motto throughout his life had been ‘Clean Politics.’ “1 had hardly recovered from the shock w'hen along came a brass band and a crowd of women bearing signs which shrieked “Liberty—Equality—and so forth. I recognized Karoline Thayer, Thelma Stiles, Gladys Hamm and Ellen Taheny, headed by Catherine Laven, who had lost none of her once famous eloquence. They were loudly voicing their sentiments to an interested group of bystanders. On visiting the Senate, I beheld Clara Fitzgerald, heralded all over the country as the most famous woman of her time, giving a speech on some weighty subject or other, while Francis Lavendier, May Buckley, and Alma Adam look dictation from a Senator at the other end of the room. At that moment in came Louis Farber, Senator from Rhode Island, who shook hands with me and invited me to dinner at his palatial mansion on the Potomac. “On the way out, I saw Ursula Berlalacini checking hats in the lobby, and smiling brightly on those who passed by. At the hotel, I met Norman Marty who had become famous as an architect and was now engaged in remodelling the White House for President Henry. Helen Gabar was acting as his private secretary, and was as efficient as ever. I also met Kathryn Kent, Helen Aldrich, Margaret Newell, and Mildred Moorehead who were on a sight seeing tour after their hard work of teaching P. H. S. pupils their lessons.” Here, Joe’s voice became a blur, and as the tubes had blown out and the earth was some million of miles away, a long walk, wre discontinued the rest of the lecture until the next journey to Mars. The next morning we righted the rocket, pushed a few buttons, and were off on our downward trip. Imagine our surprise when we arrived, to find that we were twenty years younger, the same age as when we had started for Mars. W'e sought out the old professor’s grave (for he had long since gone to his reward), placed a wreath upon it, and then found the Class Book Committee, and handed in the result of our time and labor.

Vi e were very fortunate in having Mr. Kirschhaum, a former Bates debater, as faculty advisor and coach. Every member of the Lyceum tried out for the team which was to debate for the Brown Cup, and Goddard, Zucker, and Monahan were chosen, with Wright as alternate. The subject was, Resolved. That France Is Justified in Her Occupation of the Ruhr Valley.” In the first debate. Pawtucket, taking the negative, won from Colt Memorial High School of Bristol. In the second round, the team was made up of Wright, Zucker, and Monahan, with Charles F'lotkin, ’24, as alternate. We again defended the negative, this time against Central Falls, who won a two-one decision. Although disappointed at being disqualified so early, we had the satisfaction of know ing that we had been beaten by the best team in the league, for Central Falls later won the cup. Toward the close of the year, arrangements for some very interesting debates with North Attleboro and the Brown freshmen on the immigration question were cut short by the passage, in Congress, of the bill relating to the problem. Russell Goddard, President. GIRLS’ SWIMMING Coach Captain Manager Charlotte Lieberum Doris MaeCann - Dorothy Arnold | HE girls’ swimming team has show'll a large improvement over the one which was started two years ago. Due to the fact that there are no swimming pools girls in Providence, it has been possible to arrange for only two meets this year. Through diligent practice and the efforts of a fine coach, an excellent team has been developed. For two successive years now our team has defeated Technical, the only other girls’ swimming team in the state, by a large margin. This year, a meet with Brookline was held, and Pawtucket suffered a defeat, hut as some of the members of the Brookline team hold championship records, we were wrell satisfied with the few' points which were gained. A number of the good swimmers who were on this year’s team are going to be lost by graduation, but we hope that new candidates w?ill try out next year, and keep up the good record which the team has already made.

Under the coaching of Howard “Tex Ramsdell. a former All-Maine tackle of Colbv College, the football team arose with great strength almost to the long coveted championship. East Providence was awarded the championship by the Board of Directors of the Interscholastic League. Although acknowledged to he the superior team of the league. Pawtucket High's crack team had to he content with second place. Lender the management of Ralph Mills. Pawtucket played some of the strongest teams from Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The schedule covered a long period of time, hut in spite of this, our team improved its high and fine reputation by winning the greater part of them. Pawtucket's only pre-season game, due to a late start, was played at Fall River with the strong Durfee High eleven coached by “Bert” Shurtleff. a former Brown star. The game was played during slight showers. Nevertheless, our squad held Durfee to a 6 0 score in a game in which every Pawtucket player was given a chance to show his ability for the League season. One week later, in the opening game of the Interscholastic League, our football machine journeyed to Hope High to play the winners of the 1922-23 championship. The game was all that we could expect in fine playing. Our team outclassed Hope to the tune of 12-6. This game gave us a good start towards the championship. Our next game was played away at West X ar-wick. A large crowd of supporters went there to watch Pawtucket again repeat with a victory. It was a hard earned victory, however, as West Warwick presented a scrappy team. The final score was 6-0. In East Providence we found the only team that surpassed ours in points ohained, hut we do not concede to them superiority in football tactics and ability. The game in question was plaved partly in the dark with a surging crowd on the field. Time after time in the last period Pawtucket held East Providence on the one foot line. On the last rush East Providence pushed over the pigskin for the winning touchdown. The final score was 21 to IB in favor of East Providence. A protest by Pawtucket was of no value, although our superiority was conceded, and the championship went to East Providence. Pawtucket went through the rest of her League schedule like a whirlwind. Under our team’s machine-like playing, Cranston fell hv a 33-0 score. Woonsocket fared no l etter and was defeated by a 28-0 score. Classical, our last opponent in the League, was defeated in a onesided contest by a score of 40-0. After going through our League schedule with one official setback, a very hard post season schedule was started. These games were by far the best of the year. Rogers High School was the first opponent in this series. Both teams fought on equal terms for three of the four quarters. In the last few minutes we put over a touchdown thus winning the game by a 6-0 score. The following week East Greenwich Academy sent a strong fighting team up to Pawtucket, which we sent hack with a 6-0 score in our favor. On Thanksgiving morning we played La Salle Academy, the strongest contestant for the State title, at Lindsey Field. Over three thousand people w itnessed the biggest game and the most thrilling one ever played by the High School eleven. In the last half La Salle scored twice, winning by a 12-0 score. Fans will always remember this game as one full of fine teamwork with the skill of each player pushed to the utmost. Our last game was with Technical High of Providence. We were defeated in a game full of unlucky breaks by a score of 33-14. Thus we ended one season of football; football that was clean, full of spirit and sportsmanship. Besides this, we replenished the treasury of the Athletic Association by over $1000. the greatest sum ever turned in from any sport at P. H. S. The biggest aid in making this possible was the use of Lindsey Field, our home grounds at Fairlawn. At every game this large field was packed to watch our team play, showing that in hack of our fighting team were the student body and the people of the city. For this we wish to express our appreciation.

In the first home game, with Blackstone as its opponent, Pawtucket was defeated, but from then until the end of the season, it did not have one defeat chalked up against it on its home floor. It also gave a good showing in games away from home, and in the game with the State College Freshmen, while our opponents were victorious, Pawtucket gave an unusual exhibition of gameness against more experienced players. In the Intercity Series with Central Falls, Pawtucket’s greatest rival. Pawtucket clearly showed which was the better team. In the first game, Pawtucket literally walked away front Central Falls by its fine passing. The second game again demonstrated Pawtucket’s superi- Robert Hall Harold Gildea - Raymond Farrell orily, and gave Pawtucket the Frank A. Martin cup, thus giving each school an equal standing, as Central Falls won the series last year. Aiding their team-mates materially, the second team also deserves much credit for the help they gave in preparation for the big series. At the close of the season, the Lions Club gave a banquet for the competing teams. Here the Frank A. Martin cup was presented to Captain Gildea, and Pawtucket’s quintet received gold basketballs as souvenirs. Much credit for the wonderful playing ot Pawtucket’s quintet is due Captain Robert Hall, our coach, who worked as hard as any player for the success of the team. Although three of the players on this team will be graduated iu June, there is fine material still for another victorious team, and we hope that next year will be as successful for P. H. S. as this has been. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Coach..........................Martha Jones Captain.....................Virginia Broome Manager...................Marion Johnson HE girls’ basketball team of Pawtucket High School closed a very successful year on March 28th. Under the direction of a most efficient coach. Miss Martha Jones, a championship team was developed. Our first game was played away from home at West Warwick. We had not had much practice but despite that fact, came through with an easy victory. Journeying to Dean Academy, however, the girls of the Red and White fell before one of the fastest teams in Massachusetts. This did not discourage our girls for they still had the state championship in view. In the next game, played with the Rhode Island State College Freshmen, the teams were evenly matched, but due to the good team work of our girls we won with the close score of 30-28. The next two games, which were played with the Girl Reserves of Providence and Cranston High, were very easily captured. The girls were now very enthusiastic, having lost but one game, so a game was arranged with Attleboro High School. This was one of the hardest fought games of the season. Although our girls played with their usual form, the Attleboro girls managed to keep three baskets ahead of us and the game ended in their favor. On replaying the Girl Reserves at Providence, we were easily victorious. In the next two games, we were again defeated by Dean Academy and Attleboro High School. Next a series of games was arranged between Central Falls and Pawtucket. Much enthusiasm arose in this intercity series, and the Y. W. C. A. gym was filled to its capacity with cheering students of both schools. The teams were very evenly matched, but due to the good team work of our girls, we won with the score of 43-28. and then again to make our list more complete, we defeated them with the close score of 28-23. Graduation is taking away some fine players, but we hope that next year the girls will take as much interest, and that they will have their own gym where they can practice and develop a championship team in 1924-1923.

Johnson, Manager. iMHiiiiiiiiuiii :iiii!iiiiiHiiiitaiiiiiiiituiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiituiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiniiiiilii iiiiuiiiiiiiiii;iiiiniiiuiiiiiiiiit iiiiMiiiuiiiiniiiniiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiii� iiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiuiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiriiiuiiiiiiiiiiMiiiniiiiiiiiinMiiniiintiiiniiitniii mii«iiiiainiaiiiMiiii ii(i ‘iiiHiiiiMU 1924 Pawtucket High School 63 Pawtucket High School 1924 64 BOYS’ SWIMMING Coach ... Captain ... Manager • HE swimming team of 1924 started practice January 8, 1924. Through the efforts of Mr. Whipple and Coach Lawton, the Boys’ Club pool was secured for practice twice a week. The season was opened by defeating Moses Brown 33-21 at the Boys’ Club pool. Technical High School, our old rival, met us in the Pawtucket Boys’ Club, February 7, and suffered a defeat, 28-23. Moses Brown, returning February 28, with new vigor and enthusiasm, defeated us by a narrow margin. 27-23. - Charles Lawton Chester Caulfield James Nicholls The final test came when we swam against our rivals in the Brown swimming pool. That night our pep seemed to have vanished, for we collected only 81 o points, and finished in fourth place. Technical beat us by one-half point. There seems to be a lack of enthusiasm on the part of the student body in support of swimming, although this is a sport which has its thrills like baseball, track, or any major sport in high school, and should have the support of the entire student body of the high school. James Nicholls, Manager. TRACK Coach......................Malcolm Williams Captain.......................Bernard Burns Manager................................Fred Burns HE 1924 track team of Pawtucket High School, coached by Malcolm Williams, has been unusually successful. In the only indoor meet which was held in the Pawtucket Y. M. C. A., an invitation meet, the Pawtucket High track team came out the victor by a large margin. This added another cup to the Pawtucket High collection. The outstanding star of this meet was Carney, ’25. La Plante and Havey scored in dashes while Gildea scored in the high jump. Farber did bis part in the shot put. hi the three outdoor meets which are to come Pawtucket has great hopes of coming out victoriously. especially in the Kingston meet. Capt. Burns, Farber.

Our boys showed fine training in the Inter-scholastic League, under Coach Halladay’s leadership. Pawtucket took the Rhode Island School of Design boys by storm by the score of 12-5 in the opening game played at Slater Park. The first game of the League, that with Classical, was played at Roger Williams Park on April 15. We won by a score of 7-4. The next game, with Cranston on April 22, was a victory for Pawtucket. The final score was 9-3. The next week, West Warwick was sent back defeated by a score of 7-0. On April 29, Pawtucket tripped over the old stumbling block, and was defeated by Hope, 2-1. The same week we traveled to Woonsocket to meet a 4-1 defeat at the hands of our life-long rivals. Following our custom, we arranged a three-game series with Central Falls for the Nightingale Cup. The first game will be played at the Wayposet Stadium, and the second at Lindsey Field. Pawtucket adopted Lindsey Field, Fairlawn, as their home ground. The diamond was leveled off and one of the best fields in the League was the result. Pawtucket has excellent material left for a championship team next year. Only five veterans will graduate this June, while nine or ten letter men will remain at school. Around this nucleus a championship team should develop next year. Laurence E. Cemeinhardt, Asst. Mgr. DRAMATICS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer ■ Harold Prescott Virginia Broome Clara Fitzgerald Ralph Mills I HI- f rst play of the year to be presented by the Dramatic Society was “Believe Me Xantippe,” given at the J. C. Potter School on December 14th. The play centers about a bet made by the hero that he can commit a crime and escape punishment for a year. He forges the name of his friend Brown, and the twelve month marathon begins. Owing to his peculiar expression “Believe me. Xantippe,” he is captured by the sheriff's daughter, with whom he immediately falls in love. He marries her as soon as his friends come with extradition papers. Suspense was provided meanwhile by the reported deaths of his friends, and he is nearly obliged to go to jail. The next play which the Dramatic Society produced was “Honor Bright,” a four act comedy. It was given in the J. C. Potter School hall on March 7th. The play centers about the experiences of Richard Barrington, the wealthy young hero, and those of Honor Bright, the book-agent heroine. The third and last play given this year was the Senior Play, “Mice and Men,” staged in the recently completed High School auditorium. It was given two nights. May 15th and 16th. On the whole, this year, the Dramatic Society has been quite successful. Actors co-operated with business managers, and thanks to the aid of Miss Flora Curtis, as director and guide, have made over three hundred dollars. This is an improvement over last year, and the membership shows a 25 per cent, increase. In the last of May. the society gave a theater party for all those who had taken part in the plays. The society also voted to purchase for the stage in the new auditorium, two new curtains, and to provide it with up-to-date lighting equipment.
