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.

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!

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.
