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.

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.

DRAMATICS (3) (4l, GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (4), CLASS SUPPER (4), DEBATING (3) (4), VICE-PRESIDENT DEBATING (3), PRESIDENT LYCEUM ( 4 I, HISTORIAN (41, SAMUEL SLATER ESSAY PRIZE (3), HONOR SOCIETY. 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.
