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.

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.

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.
