1926 Pawtucket Senior High School 31 STEPHEN FRANCIS GIUSTI (“Steve”) Motto: “Be yourself GLEE CLUB (3) (4), HONORARY MENTION POSTER PRIZE “THE CHAMPION” (3), THIRD PRIZE ROUND-UP (3) “Hey, ‘Steve,’ draw us a little picture, will ya, huh?”—and that’s how “Steve” became famous. No matter what he may be doing, he is always ready to oblige his friends by drawing pictures for them. His pictures are always seen on the bulletin boards, stimulating interest in school activities. “Steve” is always to be seen at the games, either on the sidelines, or on a reserved seat on the bench. Dancing is another of his hobbies, and he certainly does himself credit in this act. “Steve” some day has hopes of becoming a famous cartoonist. Keep drawing, “Steve”! DORIS IRENE HALL (“Dot”) Motto: “Be happy w ule you re living ’euz you re a long time dead.” CLASS BASKETBALL (4), GLEE CLUB (4), ORCHESTRA (1) (4) Here is another “Dot.” She is one of that quiet, retiring sort of individuals who says nothing but worthwhile things. But she is a good sport and loves fun as well as the rest of us. Dot is inclined to be musical—her chosen instrument being the violin. She is fond of applied design, so she informs us. Next year will probably find her at some business college or a member of the “Stenographers’ Club.” Whatever you decide to do, “Dot,” you may be sure we wish you the best of luck. EARLE GARDNER HARRISON (“Harry”) Motto: “Never study if you can find anything else to do” BASKETBALL (4), GLEE CLUB (3) (4) Ah! Here’s a boy after my own heart! What a beautiful girl he makes, with his ruby lips, rosy cheeks, and feminine wig. Ah, but these are only temporary. “Freak Day” over, we again see our Earle a manly youth; we again hear the bang, bang,—the scrape of shoe leather as Earle gently sinks into his seat. Although “Harry” says he does not care for studies, he ranks prettv high in most of them. He was a meml)er of the varsity basketball team and fought hard for the glory of P. H. S. RAYMOND LOUISE HEALEY (“Ray,” “Nick”) Motto: “Everything comes to him who waits” Of course you’ve seen that Ford runabout that runs like a Packard and has all the improvements of 1926 on it? W;ell, that’s “Ray’s” “car. “Ray” is one of our mechanically inclined fellows. He can do almost anything with an automobile or an engine. “Ray” is also fond of athletics and is a basketball player of marked ability. He will probably enter the business world next year, where the best wishes of the Class of ’26 go with him.

The simple reason is that she has one natural talent and that is singing. What could make her happier than singing periods? Besides. Ruth is quite a poet. The Gleaner has not discovered this because she is very modest. Nevertheless, Ruth has good intentions. She has resolved to get up early in the morning to study a little harder, and to go to bed early. From this, we learn that her heart is in the right place. Her favorite studies are typewriting and shorthand. Tis well, for Ruth intends to go out in the business world. We wish her heaps of good luck. MAE ESTELLE GILPATRICK (“Masie”) Motto: “Smiles make one happy” Here’s one of our girls who’s always good natured and jolly. You may see her any time in Room 23 surrounded by her friends, joking and laughing. Haven't you seen that smile of hers? You don’t know what you’ve missed. iMae is rather a quiet little girl except when surrounded by her friends and then you wouldn't know her. She has been taking a normal course and expects to brighten R. I. C. E. next year with her ever smiling countenance. Our l est wishes for success are with her. HOPE HAZEL GOFFE (“Hopie”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” GLEE CLUB (3) Hope must be an exception to the rule for. no matter what happens, she always appears with her usual sunny disposition. She appears quiet and demure sometimes, but do not think she is always that way. for when she is among her intimate friends she is quite the opposite. Hope’s hobby is dancing and she certainly can dance. She has done exceedingly well in her school work during her four years with us and intends to become a business woman later on. GLADYS EVELYN GORNALL (“Glad”) GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS PROPHET (4), PROPERTY MANAGER “SALLY AND CO.” (4), STAGE MANAGER “GREEN STOCKINGS” (4), CLEE CLUB (4), PROPERTY MANAGER OF OPERETTA (4), HONOR SOCIETY. SPEAKERS BUREAU (4) Motto: “Today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision oj hope” Bright eyes? Well, rather! Just look at the picture. Gladys is one of our shining lights at P. H. S. She gets her 5’s as easy as most of us get our 3’s. But don’t get the idea that all she does is her studying. She manages to give her support to our various teams, and say, doesn’t she dance! She’s right there with her school spirit. Next year Gladys intends to enter R. I. C. E. and make as fine a reputation for herself there as she has done here.

Pawtucket Senior High School FLORENCE HENDERSON (“Flossie” “Flo”) 1926 Mono: “Be happy while you're living because you're a long time dead.” SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE (4) The entrance of a smiling young lady preceded by a giggle—our “Flossie.” A sunny disposition is one of “Flossie’s” assets. Nothing ever troubles her because she never allows it to. With her happy and friendly ways she has won a host of friends at P. H. S. “Flossie” is keen on dancing. Just say “a dance” and she will yell, “Where?” She hopes to be “somebody’s stenog” sometime or other, so we wish her a successful career in the business world. DORIS FRANCES HERBERT (“Dot”) Hark! and the Spanish, French and history shark appears on the scene. Dot seems to shine when the 5’s are being awarded, but nevertheless we know she is well deserving of them. Swimming and skating are “Dot’s” favorite sports, so it is quite plain that all her spare moments are not spent on her studies. We also know that Dot” “trips the light fantastic” quite pleasingly. As to the future, we look forward to R. I. C. E.’s claiming Doris as one of its brilliant members. Good luck, “Dot.” NORMAN HIGGINSON (“Bill,” “Norm”) Motto: “A quitter never wins—and a winner never quits.” track (2) (3) (4) “Five foot-two—eyes of blue, has anybody seen” “Bill” Higginson? Why—sure, there he is making love to the girls in 22C. “Bill.” though rather deficient in stature, can throw as fast a line of conversation as the best of them. “Norm” has proved himself an ardent P. H. S. “rooter” and has supported many of its activities. In track “Bill’s” legs verily twinkle, and that is why he is a star on the track team. Brown University is his next stop. ROBERT MENZIES HOLBURN (“Bob”) “Bob” may be small, but he believes in the old adage that “great things come in small packages.” He also believes that “little boys should he seen but not heard,” which is shown by the fact that he seldom speaks, except, perhaps, at lunch period. “Bob” is very fond of wood-work and perhaps some day we will see him a famous carpenter. He has been very silent about his future plans, but whatever he does, P. H. S. wishes him luck.
