At the turning of the ways, But for all time we're not parting,— Friendship lingers through all days. And for some will be much glory. As we tread the path of time; But for all will be some story. Maybe sad, perhaps sublime. Now with life before us lying. We must be right bold and strong; That the best that we’re desiring May be realized ere long. Here's to dear old Alma Mater, Whom we’ll honor all our days; Looking back with courage stronger, When we sing her hymn of praise. —Frances J. Jack. rrs.

CLASS rBOOK 1929 CLASS HISTORY SOPHOMORE YEAR HAT memorable morn in September of '26 stands out predominately in all of the seniors’ minds—the first day of senior high school! After reigning supreme in the Samuel Slater and Church Hill Junior High Schools, we had to be content to look up to our upperclassmen a difficult task indeed! How humiliating! Floundering about during our Sophomore year, we struggled along without class officers, because no candidates were entered into the electoral race. The football team enjoyed a successful season under Mr. Jones and Mr. Read, newly appointed physical directors and coaches of all teams. In a thrilling championship game with East Providence High School on Armistice Day morning, before 4,000 fans, the Red-jackets lost to the “townie” gridders, 6-0, the only points being made by two field goals. Pawtucket had no trouble in defeating Central Falls, however, and were crowned the Twin-City Champions. A Minstrel Show was successfully staged in March, with several members of the Soph” class participating. The proceeds went to the Athletic Association. In the same month, the Dramatic Society entered “The Pot Boiler in the One Act Play Contest sponsored by the Washington Square Players at New York University, and carried away secondary honors. The Seniors held their annual Freak Day in April, and paraded about the corridors nonchalantly, while we looked on in awe, wishing for the day when we, too, could appear in Freakish garb. The next day, the Juniors mourned for the Freaks” by wearing black ties. The P. H. S. Band was formed in May under the direction of Mr. Wiggin of the faculty. At the final baseball game of the year, this uniformed outfit made its first public appearance. The distribution of letters, charms, and sweaters on the steps of the Broadway building, and the graduation exercises in the new High School Auditorium on Exchange Street, concluded the events of our Sophomore year. With prospects of John Barrymores” and “Young Weissmullers” on the stage and in the natatorium, respectively, of the new 51,700,000 building, we looked forward anxiously to our Junior year. JUNIOR YEAR One fine September morning in 1927, the members of the Class of 1929 assembled before the new senior high school to begin their careers as Juniors. The first few days were spent in becoming accustomed to the new surroundings, for we were the first Junior class to enter the wonderful new school building. The fine gymnasium, swimming pool, library, and cafeteria received a great deal of admiration. The beautiful auditorium also received its full share of praise. During our Junior year, the Cleaner assumed its new form of a bi-weekly newspaper. In December, the first Dramatic Society production, The Whole Town's Talking, was presented. It was a fine performance. The annual Junior Prom was held in the gymnasium in February. Everyone who attended enjoyed himself thoroughly, and pronounced the affair a decided success. Also, in February, three one-act plays were presented by the Dramatic Society. “The Valiant was selected to go to New York. The cast, composed of two Juniors (of course, there were three or four Seniors in it) went to the Metropolis and won second place. One morning in April the Juniors were surprised to find no Seniors anywhere. At length the Seniors arrived, dressed as freaks. The day following Freak Day, the Juniors went into mourning, wearing black bows, ties, etc. In May, the Seniors presented their Senior play. This fact is mentioned because the Class of 1928, in order to provide for the large cast of their Elis CLASS iOP B O OK 1929 play, “If I Were King, was forced to apply to the Class of 1929 for aid. The band won in the hand contest at Boston, as everyone expected. This organization certainly progressed very rapidly during that year. The various athletic teams went through a successful year. Then it was June—vacation—then, Seniors!! How we looked forward to that time. SENIOR YEAR At length we reached that august station in life which belongs to the Senior. We obtained the honor of being looked up to by the underclassmen. With the determination to make their last year in the Senior High School a worthy one, the members of the Class of 1929 took up their work as Seniors. The class election of officers resulted as follows: President, Peter Gilligan; Vice-President, Marjorie Roberts; Secretary, Joseph Rogan; and Treasurer, Ambrose Campbell. The Gleaner was considerably improved. Not once during the year did it fail to come out on the appointed date. In November, an extremely fine band concert was enjoyed. In connection with this concert, a one-act play, Who Kissed Barbara,” was presented by the Dramatic Society. In December, the Dramatic Society presented a three-act comedy, “A Prince There Was. It met with the instant approval of the audience. In February-, the three one-act plays were pre- sented. “The Wedding was chosen to go to New York. A very capable cast presented the play there and brought home a beautiful cup. Our basketball team won the twin-city championship. To celebrate this great event in our history, we invaded Central Falls territory. April 4 and 5, another fine band concert was presented. It was generally granted that the band was making a great deal of progress. April 6, Saturday, a dramatic contest for secondary schools was held in the high school. Members of the Dramatic Society were at the school practically all day, entertaining the members of the visiting schools. The morning of April 11 dawned bright and clear, to the relief of all Seniors, for it was Freak Day. Precisely at 8:30 we arrived at the school, parading from Times Square. At 2:30, a dance was enjoyed at the gym. At 4:00, the freaks again paraded through the city to the Leroy Theater, where they enjoyed a free entertainment. May 24, the Senior play, “The Thirteenth Chair,” was presented by the Dramatic Society. It was declared an excellent performance by all who saw it. The Senior reception, held May- 31, was a most enjoyable affair. Everyone who was present had a very good time. “And what is so rare as a day in June —then comes class day and graduation, when the coveted “sheepskins” are presented. The Class of '29 looks back over the years spent in P. H. S., and is a little sorrowful to leave its familiar places. Elizabeth A. Partridge, G. Russell Burns. BUS CLASS-BOOK 1929 CLASS PROPHECY E, the learned and highly respected prophets of the Class of 1929, desiring to forecast the future of our illustrious classmates, decided, after racking our brains unceasingly, to make a trip in an aeroplane in the upper world and there gaze into the distance to discover the futures of our classmates. After climbing and climbing with no sue-cess whatever as to learning the fates of our friends, we thought it better to end all and leave our own des-tiny to the winds. Leaping overboard with a last cry, Long live the Class of '29, we fell through space with a great rapidity, and lost all track of time.... With a resounding splash we landed headlong in a pool of water, and on coming to the surface, bewildered and shocked, we found several thousand people gazing at us with wondering eyes. We were assisted from the pool by Red McClurg and Honey Salisbury, and from these former classmates we learned that we were in the in the midst of the 1940 Olympic Games in California. It was also brought to our attention that along with these two Pawtucketites, Marjorie Mitchell and “Midge” Roberts were upholding the colors of America in the swimming events. Seated in the reviewing stand beside Mayor Burns of Los Angeles and his charming wife, Dot Larson, we enjoyed watching our friends capture several places for the United States. Feeling the need for food after our tedious journey, we accepted the kind invitation of Mayor Burns and his wife to dine with them. While being driven by Wesley Goff, it was remarked that several other classmates were in the vicinity of Los Angeles. Joe” Rogan, Jack Woodhead, and Herb McClentic were participating in the track events, while others were making a name for themselves in Hollywood. As we stopped in front of a beautiful hotel, the door was opened by Ted Bejima, who greeted us enthusiastically. He took us to Earl Straight, who we learned was the manager. After an interesting chat, we were taken to our places by head-waiter Walter Erickson. Our waitress was Helene Mooney, who gossiped continually and questioned us on our doings. After dining, we received complimentary tickets to a matinee performance which was managed by Warren Tillinghast. The plot was interestingly woven, and as leads there were Little Tom Talbot and the demure “Al“ Knapp, who were supported by Mary Sheahan, Claire Barrett, and Kenneth Berry. Hearing that Colin Sharp was president of a large railroad system, and believing that we could get a free ride to Pawtucket, we visited him at his palatial mansion. There we met his wife, Margaret Smart, who treated us very cordially, being ushered in by our old friend “Joe” Cardosi, who was serving as butler. Margaret was preparing for a house-warming reception which was to be held that evening. Arranging the table was Frank Kulick, whose aspirations had led him to great fame as a caterer. Assisting him were Abraham Fabricant and Edward Desczyk. While looking around, we noticed one of our former classmates, Stanley Spicer, putting the finishing touches on his latest mural masterpiece. The shock of seeing us caused him to slip and fall from the scaffold and land on a bench manufactured by Norman Cote, which was at the time occupied by Earl Leach and Elinor Kent. At this instant a large, burly figure clothed in the garb of a policeman rushed in and assisted the injured. It was none other than Joseph Schaffer. William Luminello, who was engaged in working out a cross-word puzzle, sprinted to the corner fruit store owned by “Jake” Cokin and was connected with the hospital by telephone operator Helen Hayhurst. Driving the high powered ambulance, a product of “Bob” Simnett’s automobile factory, was Max Kaplan. Dashing recklessly through the crowded streets, he first demolished an ash team owned and driven by “Chet Macomber and Beans Brown, and arriving at the hospital, the patient was received by the nurses Mona Casey, Olive Case, and Dorothy White. Since our train was to leave in ten minutes, we summoned Joe” Bardsley, who drove us in his taxi to the station. We learned from him that his employer was none other than Soup Campbell, who played PII.S. CLASS BOOK 1929 ____ ___j hockey in his spare moments for Jack Farber's Hakoahs. Other stars on the team were Louis Hor-vitz, Juni Rowley, Frank Waldeck, Walter Wall, and Joe Warburton. We successfully caught our train, with the assistance of Bill” Norman, who, as engineer, waited until we were safely aboard. Comfortably seated, we were talking over reminiscences of the day, when we were accosted by Henry Leach, who offered us some delicious fruit which he was selling. From him we learned that a troupe of traveling salesmen canvassing for a new product, a fur-lined bath tub, invented by Norman Farrington, had journeyed through the day before. James Allen, Will Ballou, Let Barry, James Birchall, and Bill Doll were among these would-be salesmen. Irene Benton made up our beds for us. The next day we bumped into Bill Copeland, who was returning from a business trip to California. His wife, Grace McAloon, was accompanying him. We were so excited by his description of Pawtucket that we decided to hurry home as quickly as possible. As we were leaving the train at Chicago, who should we see but Stanley Clark telling fairy tales to Ruth Hirst, Austin Almon, Clayton Farnsworth, Ruth Everett, and Dot Dean. We hastened to the airport where we found Edward Cole filling the gas tank of a huge plane. Upon inquiring, we found that Mike DeLuca and Chet Daffin would be our pilots, with Eva Korenbaum and Mildred Brown acting as hostesses. Shortly afterwards we landed at the What Cheer Airport, which was owned and managed by “Ed” Bertozzi, and from there took an open-air taxi, driven by Fred Carney and owned by Frank Bradbury. Purchasing the “Daily Lyre” from Tubby Toher, we found that the best hotel in town was The Hotel Horse-sense, run by Horsfield. Turning to the sporting page, we read that One-Swing” Sampson, formerly known as Sholovitz, fought a draw with Half Pint Griffin for the paper-weight championship of the Blackstonc Valley. At the hotel, Mar garet Bryce directed us to room 5043J 2 on the first floor. We decided to look over our Old Alma Mater, and finding that we didn't have enough money for a taxi, we hoarded a street car which was operated by Albert Cheek. Seated opposite us, clad in football togs, was Alec Thomas, who was idling away his time eating peanuts. When he had finished his task, he informed us that he was returning from football practice with the New York Giants. Alec told us that other members on the team were Earl Blackmer, Llewellyn Jones, Milton Clark, and John Murphy, also Frank Kania. We got off the car at the corner of Broadway and Exchange Street. A fat policeman standing on the corner was instantly recognized as Colin McFar-lane, who told us that Morgan’s Drug Store had been bought by Ruth Leach. As we entered the store, we instantly recognized the two girls behind the counter as Alice Carles and Sybil Harrison, who were smilingly dispensing the owner's soda. After the first greetings were over, they confidentially told us that Bob” and Bing, the MacManus brothers, who were employed in shaving warts off pickles in the Pawtucket Wartless Pickle Factory, were soon to wed the Casey twins. While we were there we sampled the famous Dogberry Delight, a concoction composed of crushed dogber-ries and hair tonic discovered by Ray Timperley and James Rush, now employed as chemists in Leo Bar-samian's laboratory. We left the store and hastened with all possible speed toward our old Alma Mater. As we drew near, a great commotion on Memorial Bridge attracted our attention, and we rushed forward to see two skiffs skim swiftly along the sparkling water of the transparent Blackstone. Grasping the nearest spectator, who was Ray Anderson, we inquired about the race, and were told that it was part of a water festival. The crew which, we were told, had just overcome a two and one-half mile handicap given to Central Falls and won the race, was composed of Harold Boynton, Phillip Schwart, James Shanagan, Edward Troendle, and George Bastani, Murry Halpert, as coxswain, piloted the crew to victory. Ray pointed out to us the judges’ stand, occupied by Peter Gilligan, Chief of Police; Christopher Campbell, Chief of Fire Department: Elphege Masse, Truant Officer; James O'Hal-loran, Superintendent of Schools in Central Falls; and Henry Jablecki, Superintendent of the Home for Armless Paper Hangers. From Ray we learned that BUS CLASSlirBOOK 1929 he now had an orchestra of his own, called Anderson's Aggravating Eight,” composed of the following musicians: “Strongarm” Armstrong, Leonard Stonely, Norman Seddon, Frank Ryan, Edith Bradbury, Louise Warren, Ruth Warren, and Ruth Lennon. He invited us to come and hear him play that evening in Bamford's Balmy Ballroom, owned by “Al” Bamford and his wife, Hope Butman; “Spaulding’s Snappy Steppers” was the current attraction there; this aggregation starring Barbara Spaulding, consisted of Helen Laird, “Dot” Keough, Betty Curry, Gertrude Tessier, Marjorie Chadwick, and Grayce Bertolacini. Telling him that we would try to be there, we hastened into the school. The first sight that met our gaze was “Barney” O'Connor, now a janitor in the building, at work sweeping the floor. Stopping at the main office, we found Grace Arden busily engaged in secretarial work. Next we entered the principal’s office and shook hands with Mr. Crcclman, who had attained a great height of six feet, three inches. He introduced us to his private secretary, none other than Margaret Bartley, who offered to conduct us around the school. We first visited the boys' gymnasium, where George Dupont and John Mona were busily instructing their pupils in the rudiments of calisthenics. In the girls’ gym, the same scene was being enacted, with Marion Holland and Gertrude Mulhol-land directing. We then visited the library and saw Elizabeth Partridge occupying the librarian's chair. Crossing the hall, we entered the lunch room where we saw Mary Kelaghan, who was preparing the day's lunch. Assisting her were Ida Fishman, Helen Dugall, Margaret McCarron, Muriel Andrew and Pauline Slcfkin. Using a little tact, we secured a delicious meal free of charge, consisting of oysters on the half shell, steak smothered in onions, parisienne potatoes, apple pie and ice cream. Upon leaving our Old Alma Mater, we were given complimentary tickets to a play directed by Mae Marren to be presented in the P. H. S. Auditorium that P. M. We were returning to our hotel to prepare for the evening festivities when we met Howard Chamberlain, who took us for a short ride in his truck as he was now employed in Leroy Stapleford's laundry'. Going down Main Street, we noticed a billboard telling of Howard MacNeill's drygoods store. Next we viewed Tom McCusker standing in front of his florist shop looking for business. Refreshed by coffee at a tea room owned by Barbara Kyle and Doris Smith, we returned to the auditorium. John Driscoll took our tickets, while Hope Erickson ushered us to our seats. The lights went out immediately and the curtain opened on a mob scene. Banners proclaiming the basketball victory over Central Falls in '29 were in evidence, while we noticed “Hal” Williamson enacting the part of “The Bitfer.” The play developed into the love affair of Marcella Garland and Charles Povey. At the end of the first act we looked around to discover Augusta Perrin, Elizabeth McCormick, Eleanor Masterson, Valeda Cook, Annie Cutler and Marie DclPapc, who came down the aisle selling candy to the large audience. The lights went out again and we viewed with interest the comedy element of the play portrayed by Leo Sonkin and Priscilla Goldsmith, who danced the Tango with ease and gracefulness. Between the acts, Margaret Crabtree played several familiar tunes on the organ. This had been a very busy day, but we hoped to see many more of our friends on the next day. After a quiet, restful night, we awoke to the noise of an ambulance which drew up in front of the hotel. Ernest Abell, with his two assistants, Edmund Dugas and Owen Farrell, entered the hotel. They reappeared again carrying “Fred” Barrowclough. Desiring to learn his misfortune, we followed the ambulance in a taxi driven by Thomas Curtin. At the hospital we found Alfred Wilde operating on “Fred” for fallen arches. Elsie Ullrich and Mildred Galletly were in attendance. Hearing from “Al“ that Vivian Valentine and Isabella Taylor were employed as the head dietitians in the institution, we went to see them Always pleased to see or hear from any of our former classmates, we were glad to learn that Avis Connery, Mildred Emery, and Dorothy Brennan were at work here, too. They told us that all the aluminum ware that they used was made in the factory recently established by Walter Vincent and Arnold Wells. On our way out of the building we recognized Edith Hathaway and Dorothy Alker pounding furiously on the typewriters in the main office. We stopped for only a minute, as we wanted to get the RII.S. CLASSWBOOK 1229 next bus that would take us to the center of the city. Busses were now more common than street cars, for Ernest Pytel had established a fine route and was the president of the company. When we arrived at Main Street, we were dazzled by the brightness of the sun shining on the electric bulbs in the immense signs hanging high above each store. Walking slowly in order to see every thing, we noticed a novelty shop run by Ursula Lewis and Joyce Anderson, who had as their employees “Billie Shea and Malinda Gornyak. Just then we met Elizabeth Rodger, who told us she had just received the position as typist in the office of the firm of Marshall and Martin, owned by “Jo” Marshall and Ira Martin. She also said that Colette Brindamour, Esther Carlson, Phoebe Bentham, and Dorothy Martin were employed in the same office. Across the street we noticed a large theater which we learned had been built recently by Milton Halliday and was owned by Theodore Couch. As it was not open yet, we looked at the pictures on the outside and noticed that the orchestra was composed of some of our friends, namely, Joseph Kennedy and Raymond Hammond. We also noticed that one of the outstanding posters which was made by Frances Jack told of a specialty dance which Alice Lord would do that night. She, being very famous now, was assisted in a clever revue by Doris O'Conor, Ruth Spargo, Pauline Beswick, Althea Henderson, Anna Flynn, and Helen Dunbar. Having delayed here long enough, we journeyed on through Main Street until we were attracted to a little book shop run by Barbara Gregg and Edith Smith. Upon entering, we met Dorothy Massie, who was the head bookkeeper, and Edith Lannon, the talkative sales-clerk. On the counter we noticed a colorful book called “The Educational Advantages of Aeroplanes,” and were interested to learn that it was written by Frances Gregg and published by Albert Newton. There was also a book of poems which Milton Abramson had recently written. Across the street we noticed a photographer's studio, and, upon inquiring as to who the owner was, we learned it was run by Edward Piekos and Ernest Lit-terick. Naturally we were interested, and so made a visit to their shop. Irene Martiesian was employed as general manager and was aided by Chloe Mcrcier. They informed us that the business was successful, as they had just received the bid for photographing every senior at the high school. We noticed next “The Sully Shop,” which, we learned, was owned by Julia and Eileen Sullivan. We entered and were met by our old chum “Max” Drucke who appeared very prosperous in his tuxedo. However, it turned out that he was the headwaiter. While we were dining. Max told us of a fine drama called the “Three W’s”, appearing at a local theater. The reason for this peculiar name, we found out, was that the three leading stars were Mary Wright, Kenneth Wuenschel, and Elsie Wuensch. We invited Max to attend the performance with us, but he said he had to take his wife, Mae Hughes, to a dog show. At this instant, we noticed four talkative young girls enter the shop. They were “Dot” Marshall, Katherine Hodge, Edna Robinson, and Amelia Marsh. We heard them discuss the engagement of Phyllis Hilton to the son of a New York broker. The bridesmaids were to be Eunice Armfield, Ruth Forden, Gladys Dunham, and Rita Slocum. The best man was to be James Smith. After hastening to the theater in order not to miss the start of the performance, we bought two tickets at the box office from Kaste Atskin, who told us that three stenographers, Lucie Tessiei', Minnie Podersky, and Rose Plantier, had just purchased tickets. Continuing through the lobby, we were ushered to our seats by Freda Berick. We perceived Len” Rounds, Ray” Waterman, and “Bill” Rankine, who were now critics for local newspapers, a few rows in front of us. Looking over our programme, we learned that Sigmund Turrow was stage manager, “Joe” Gross-man was call boy, and Olive Phetteplace, Eunice Palmer and Caroline Roberts were in charge of the properties. After enjoying the show, we went to the telegraph office on High Street to inform our friends in California of our safe arrival. Entering the office we met Cecile Larocquc, Bertha Lund, and Florettc Lussier, who were busy sending and receiving messages. Leo Lazar and “Al” Muir were delivery boys. Grace McCormick handed us paper on which to write our telegram. On the heading we noticed that “Tom” A CLASS 10P Q O OK 1929 Fitchcr was district manager and Dick” DeCourcey was the local manager of the firm. Gertrude Barrett, Mildred Allen, and Marion Ensign, telephone operators, entered and told us that they were inviting Dorothy Mathewson and Marcella Moody to a week-end party at their summer home in Valley Falls. After our friends left, a familiar-faced red-haired man entered in full evening attire. We had a short chat with him, and he offered us his business card which said: “John ‘Red’ McCabe, P. H. S. Baseball Captain, 1929.” We realized at once that “Red” hadn't changed a mite. He informed us that Elsie Roberts and Edward Shahcen were partners in the R. 6? S. drygoods store. We noticed a poster across the way calling attention to a meeting of Gagnon’s Gabby Girls, of which Lodina Gagnon was the president. Wc noticed Mary Foley, Margaret Cote, Florence Kelly, Lillian Kern, Jeanette Jaquillo, and Lillian Hulme enter the meeting place. Next, a truck stopped at the corner to get some gasoline. A placard on the side of the truck told the world that it contained employees of the manufacturing concern of Gomes, Gomes and Green, Inc. Having a hilarious time en route to Peterson’s Picnic Park were Elizabeth Greaves, Rose Harding, bookkeepers; John Hughes, John Hunt, mechanics; Ruth Jeffrey, Lucy Greenup, inspectors; Norman Hutchinson and Joe” Heroux, inter-city salesmen. This concern, being one which manufactured lace, had as general manager Dominic Ryskiewich, who had now become very skilled along this line. Leaving the telegraph office, we continued our way through the streets and again arrived on the main thoroughfare. At the corner of one of the busiest streets we noticed William Birchmeier, clad in official police uniform, skillfully directing the traffic. Just then our attention was drawn to a large building directly opposite us which seemed to be attracting many people. Breaking our way through the crowd, we found ourselves face to face with Fletcher Collins, who was engaged in selling nuts and bolts. However, he had time enough to inform us that the newly opened hardware store belonged to Wellington Shel-lenberger and Elmer Hamm. Looking around, we saw Jeannette Mitchell and Helen Murphy making the change for the customers, and Robert Hayden engaged as floor walker. We were now tired and weary after our long journey, so we hailed a taxi driven by Jim Casey, and started on our way back to the hotel. Up to this time the weather had been fine, but now rain drops were falling rapidly, making the streets treacherous for driving. However, our chauffeur didn't seem to notice this, and drove us faster and faster 'till, not being able to avoid a truck coming around the corner, we crashed head-on into it. All was darkness and oblivion 'till slowly and more slowly light came into our blank minds. When consciousness was fully regained, we found ourselves back in our plane and realized the altitude record had been lost; but what did that matter when our task, the prophesying of our classmates' lives, was within our grasp? Happy at finding the members of our class of '29 so prosperous and well doing, we righted our plane and sloped slowly down to land. Cassandra and Apollo, Margaret D. Ward, Theodore V. Monahan. PH.s. CLASSifl? BO OK 1229 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT of the Class of 1929 Hrar t|f! Urar ijr ! The court will now come to order.

In the hands of our successors, we leave the care of a fine collection of shrubs and young trees on the banks of the Pawtucket River, with the hope that they will be kind to them.

Kenneth Berry, Claire Barrett WEDDING is a one-act farce comedy written by John Kirkpatrick. The action takes place on the eve of the wedding in the bride's home. At the beginning of the play, the bridegroom is in his room frantically hunting for his collar button. Unable to find it, he becomes terribly upset, and Archie, his best man, only makes matters worse by trying to fix his boutonniere and complaining because he can't find the back stairs. Bob, the bridegroom, has just succeeded in getting Archie started to hunt for a collar button, and is himself under the bed, when Alice, the bride, appears on the scene. Alice is exasperated because he is not ready, and after a short conversation departs to fix her orange blossoms which have become mussed by Bob's affection. The frantic search continues, and Ted, the groomsman, arrives on the scene to see how the groom is get- ting along. When he finds out the difficulty, he helps Bob go through his suitcase to find the lost article. However, he aggravates Bob's irritation by asking if Alice knows all Bob's faults and by treating the wedding as a joke. They are continuing their hasty search when Bob’s mother rushes into the room, weeping copiously. She sobs over her child, asking the two men to stay with him right till the end. As the strains of Oh, Promise Me come to her ears, she bursts into tears again and rushes from the room. Ted then sets to work to make Bob borrow his collar button. Acting like a spoiled child, the groom refuses to wear anyone's but his own. A scuffle ensues, during which Bob shouts out angrily that he isn't going to get married. Alice, passing through the hall, hears him and comes into the room, upset by what she has just heard. Ted leaves, giving her his collar button, asking her to RII.S. CLASSlBrBOOK 1929 make Bol) take it. Boh and Alice have a spat which ends in Alice breaking off the engagement. When Aunt Julia comes in several minutes later, she cannot bring them to make up. Neither can her brother, Alice's father, do anything with them. Suddenly they hear The Wedding March. Archie, in his eagerness to run things, has started the musicians. Aunt Julia and Father leave to see what they can do toward entertaining the guests. While they are gone. Bob and Alice decide that they really do love each other after all, and determine to get mar-ricd just the same. Bob agrees to wear Ted’s collar button, and Alice says she doesn't care whether he does or not. She says he can tie a handkerchief around his neck if he wants to. Thus they leave the room to go downstairs to be married. DRAMATIC SOCIETY HE Dramatic Society, in 1928-1929, added another year of successful undertakings to its already long list. Every performance was noticeable for its clever acting, staging, and business management. The society met with remarkable success in the dramatic contest sponsored by the Washington Square College Players of New York University. We are greatly indebted to Miss Flora S. Curtis, who has so well directed its productions. We extend to her our sincere thanks and a hearty wish that the future may bring her many seasons of successful leadership. The first production was a one-act play, Who Kissed Barbara,” given in connection with the band concert. The whole cast deserves a great deal of credit for its remarkable performance. Alice Knapp, as Barbara, and Thomas Talbot, playing the title role, both did excellent work. Margaret Smart and Leo Sonkin, as a bride and bridegroom the night before their wedding, also acted very well. Parker Connery, the butler, is likewise deserving of mention. The next entertainment offered by the Dramatic Society was a three act comedy by George M. Cohan. It was, A Prince There Was.” Virginia Galleshaw, as Comfort Browne, a little girl of 12 who wanted to help her fairy godmother, Alice Schuyler, to sell her stories, received extended praise for her excellent work. James Fleming, as a millionaire loafer, who became interested in Comfort and by going to help her out found the woman he loved, also played well. Warren Tillinghast, as the millionaire's butler, and Elmer Hamm, as his friend, an editor of a magazine, also gave creditable performances. Dorothy White, keeper of the cheap hoarding house, Mary Sheahan, as her daughter, also did fine acting. In fact, the whole cast deserves mention. In February, the three one-act plays were presented. Off Nag’s Head, a tragedy, was the first play of the evening. Clara Graham, who portrayed a demented old woman who had been shipwrecked upon a lonely shore in her youth, acted very well. Dorothy Larson, as the fisherman's gal, also performed well. In The Boy Comes Home,” Stanley Clark, as an overbearing uncle, whose blustering ways intimidated many people, and Elmer Hamm, his nephew just returned from the war and who refused to be intimidated, both acted remarkably well. Claire Barrett, as the cook, and Elizabeth Partridge, as the timid aunt, also deserve credit. A Wedding, the last play of the evening, kept the audience in laughter from beginning to end. The character of a nervous bridegroom was exceptionally well portrayed by Thomas Talbot. Margaret Smart, as the bride, and Alice Knapp, as the bride’s aunt, both gave excellent performances. Leo Sonkin, as best man; Kenneth Berry, as groomsman; Joseph Grossman, as the bride’s father; and Alice Schuyler, as the bridegroom's mother, all acted in an excellent manner. The play presented in New York was “A Wedding.” The cast which played in the contest in New York included Clara Graham, Alice Knapp, Claire Barrett, Thomas Talbot, Stanley Clark, Kenneth Berry, and Joseph Grossman. The players from Pawtucket kept the audience in New York in merriment during the whole performance. Pawtucket tied with two other schools for first place. All three schools received beautiful cups. In the opinion of many, the players'should have carried away first honors undis- EU CLASSiHrBOOK 1929 putedly. Pawtucket's performance was noticed especially for the excellent work of each member of the cast. The cup was presented to Pawtucket by Professor Somerville of New York University when he came to act as judge at the dramatic contest sponsored by this high school. To help in entertaining the people from the various schools entered in the contest, members of the Dramatic Society formed committees on staging, lighting and hospitality. Many of the members arrived at 8:30 in the morning and did not leave until after the decision of the judges had been given at night. The last play of the season was the Senior play, The Thirteenth Chair,” by Bayard Veiller. It was a mystery play in three acts. Although it was a difficult play to produce, every member of the large cast played his part extremely well. Claire Barrett, as an old Irish woman, a spiritualist medium, received a great deal of applause for her excellent performance. Kenneth Berry, as the detective, and Warren Tillinghast, as the man who committed the murder, likewise gave very fine performances. Margaret Smart, who was first accused of the crime, and Thomas Talbot, as her lover, both did excellent work. Alice Knapp, Elizabeth Partridge, Stanley Clarke, and Theodore Monahan also deserve mention for their acting. The play appealed to the audience and was declared a very successful presentation. The Senior play brought to an end the very enjoyable and successful activities of the Dramatic Society of 1928-1929. It is the hope of the members of this society that future members will have as fine plays and as good actors as they have had in the past. Elizabeth A. Partridge, Secretary. GO) RII.S.

H. S. band has had a very successful year. Shortly after school opened, the band was asked to play at the State House at the unveiling of the Oliver Hazard Perry monument. In appreciation for this service, an American flag was presented to the band by the Perry Memorial Commission. The band was a big factor at the football games, and it entertained the school with programs at assenv bly many times. It also participated in the Armistice Day and Memorial Day parades. On January 18, 1929, the band was requested to play at the benefit dance, held by the Cranston Parent' Teacher Association, to equip a new Cranston High band. This affair was held at Rhodes, and by helping, ajor: Norman beddon, Spencer Hilton it showed its willingness to cooperate with other schools in enabling them to get hands started. During the year an Executive Committee was elected to devise ways and means of obtaining money for the maintenance of the organization. Money was obtained in one way by running school dances every Friday for six weeks. March 3, the band played at a mass meeting held in the auditorium. Two band con' certs were presented and these were very successful. The money thus earned was used to defray the ex' penses of the trip to the New England Band Contest at Boston on May 18, and to purchase a new set of tympanies. The 1929 band's record is enviable. Let's hope the band of 1929'1930 will do as well. Stuart Kyle, Band Manager. OILS- CLASSiffl BOOK 1929 DEBATING TEAM Front Row: Grossman, Miss Marticsian, Barles Top Row: Coach George S. Cooper, Hamm, Clark Moss FEW members of the Pawtucket High School were gathered together one afternoon last September to form a Debating Society. Every other society in the school had a start in the past years and were simply carrying on. All the Debating Society had for a start from past years was a memory. This group had to draw up a constitution, elect officers and start, as it were, from the bottom. Yet under the steadying influence of Mr. Cooper, faculty sponsor of the Society and coach of the Debating Team, they gained ground rapidly. After a constitution had been adopted, elections were held. Ernest Litterick was elected President, Corina Pa-pino. Vice President, Rosaline Gomes, Secretary, and Russell Burns, Treasurer. As the Society got under way, discussions were held during meetings. Sometimes these discussions grew heated, yet all this helped to make a successful year for them. A challenge was accepted from Rhode Island State Freshmen for a debate on the subject: Resolved, that the Jury System in the United States should be abolished. Pawtucket took the negative side with Elmer Hamm, Ernest Litterick and Joseph Grossman representing the school. They won the unanimous vote of the judges. What excitement this caused in the school. Such a thing had not been heard of for a number of years. Pawtucket had won its first debate. From this time debating stepped up on a level with other school activities. Pupils began to talk about it. Interest was aroused. Finally, the time came for the interscholastic debates to begin. The rules of contest were changed. Each school had two teams instead of one. Both teams were to consist of two debaters and one alternate. One of the teams to take the affirmative side; the other to take the negative. BUB- CLASS B O OK 1929 Pawtucket's negative team consisted of Elmer Hamm, Joseph Grossman, and Charles Moss, alternate. The affirmative team consisted of Stanley Clark, Harry Barles, and Irene Martisian, alternate. The subject of debate was: Resolved, that the increase of the navy at this time is consistent with America's desire for World Peace and general limitation of armaments.” The negative team lost its first debate to Hope. When the affirmative team stacked up against Central Falls, they also failed to score a triumph. The negative team's debate with East Providence fared better; they won a unanimous decision. The affirmative team dropped their last debate to Commercial. A summary lets us see that they scored two wins out of five debates. This is a very good record for a new society. Next year's society will have something to build on and we of this year hope that they may have even a better year than we have had. Ernest Litterick, President. RILS.

The undefeated Junior first team gained first place and we captured second in the interclass games. Each girl who was interested to learn or desirous to play was given an opportunity to try to make a class team. Practice sessions were held after school, one day a week, for about an hour and a half. After several weeks of practice, two teams, first and second, according to their ability, were chosen from each class and games were scheduled. Our first game was played with the Sophomore first team, whom we overwhelmingly defeated 34-13. Although the Sophs were fleet and always alert, they could not connect their passes with precision. This, indeed, was an encouraging start for us. We defeated every team that came before us until we were put up against the Junior first team. This was the most enthusiastic and most interesting game of the season. Neither of the teams could get any more than two points ahead of the opposing team. In many instances the score was tie. Practically every member of the other four teams was witnessing the deciding game and cheered for her favorite team. The score ended 21-20 in their favor. As this was the deciding game, the Junior first was given top place undisputedly. The games this season were played enthusiastically by all. Basketball, in our estimation, is the outstanding sport for girls. Although there were a considerable number that tried out this year, we hope there will be a remarkable increase for the year 1930. We wish to extend to all those trying out for this sport in 1930 and in years to follow the best of luck.

Although we were defeated by the Worcester Boys’ Club Auxiliary and Brookline, the meets proved to be very exciting, and we gained experience which aided us in defeating the Hope High School and Pawtucket Y.

Coach Pard Pearce and a group of untried youngsters went to Camp Westwood to start football training. At camp we had but one regular of last year's team. After a week of strenuous training, we returned to the city. The first day of practice in the city, at our new athletic field, one hundred or more aspirants turned out for practice. Our first game was with Gloucester. During this game one of our brightest lights was dimmed in the person of Wotherspoon, who broke his wrist. Twenty-eight men were used in this game. This helped the coach to pick the team. We were badly defeated 32 to 0. The next game we played at home with Commercial. Here we were defeated by some of the best broken field running ever witnessed in local high school circles. Commercial defeated us to the tune of 13 to 0. They were later crowned the champs. Next we faced East Providence at home. It was a hard fought game. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, East Providence led 6 to 0. Here Pawtucket burst into speed, to receive a deliberate safety, as the result of an impressive march down the field. But KII.S. CLASSlirBOOK 1920 Pawtucket was not satisfied, and again pounded its way down the field on successive downs to receive a touchdown for their labors. The crowd went wild as did the inexperienced team. With but a minute to play. East Providence received the kick off, and on the next play completed a pass for a touchdown, the last play of the game. The score was 12 to 8 in favor of East Providence. The next week Pawtucket journeyed to the Cycle-drome to meet defeat at the hands of Classical. Here again a pass was our doom. The score was 6 to 0. The following week found Pawtucket at its worst, receiving its fifth consecutive defeat from the lowly Woonsocket team to the tune of 18 to 0. The next game we scored a moral victory- by being the first team to score against the Cranston Thunderbolt. Yet they turned us back with the decisive score of 34 to 6. During this string of defeats. Coach “Pard Pearce had been making radical changes, the most notable of which was the dropping of the Seniors from the squad in favor of the Sophomores and Juniors. Pawtucket showed up much better against Hope, but was unable to score against the East Siders. It was the first game in which we were not defeated, the score being 0 to 0. We then sought revenge on the weak West Warwick team, beating them in a one-sided fray. The score was 24 to 6. Then came our big game with Central Falls. With the words Beat Central Falls ringing in the ears of everyone, a scrappy little team went out on the field and were told, Go to it.” They tried their best, the line doing well, but the backfield was weak with one exception. Again a forward pass ruined our high hopes, and Central Falls trimmed us, 7 to 0. Frederick E. Barrowclough, Manager. RILS.

Faber, Nye, Kolek, Pytel, Burns, Morris HE 1929 basketball team was recognized as one of the most competent teams ever to take the floor for Pawtucket High School in the hoop game. After an early call for practice on November 15, the hasketeers played a four-month program, wining 19 out of 24 games. Although the nerve-wracking league schedule finally caused the boys “to crack, thus giving East Providence High School the league championship, the Redjackets finished in a tie with the Woonsocket quintette—recognized as the best five in the state during the latter part of the season for second place. However, the all-important Twin City and Blackstone Valley Championships were won by the locals. On the 15th of November, Coach Morris met his veterans at the Joseph Jenks gymnasium in the initial practice session of the season. The next day a general call for candidates was issued, and 58 aspiring members of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes reported at our spacious gymnasium. For a fortnight (including night sessions) Coach Morris watched his men with a keen eye, not wanting to slight anyone, and then started to cut his squad. By the middle of December, the roster was reduced to twenty candidates. In three practice games, the team trimmed the alumni five and other local amateur teams. The first home game was played with Barrington furnishing the opposition on December 17th, the Pawtucket stars showing great form and easily winning, 45 to 10. Again, three days later, the strong Mansfield team was forced to bow to the efficient Morris machine, 25 to 13. St. Raphael Academy, playing basketball for the RILS. A CLASS 40r I 5 O OK. 1929 first time in the history of the school, displayed ragged form, while the Red and White hoopsters were play-ing their best brand of basketball of the season, sinking baskets from several difficult angles of the court. A capacity crowd filled the gymnasium, this being the inauguration of athletic relations between the two Pawtucket secondary institutions. The Saints were held to a lone field goal and one successful free throw to Pawtucket's grand total of 39 points. Two days before meeting the first league opponent, the powerful Norfolk Aggies of Massachusetts were encountered. Before meeting the Redjackets, the Bay State quintette had boasted a long string of victories. However, Pawtucket continued her winning streak, and the Aggies fell, 25 to 12. The opening game of the loop was with Cranston High School on the latter’s court. After trailing by a few points at the quarter mark, the accurate passing and shooting of Captain Scotty” Wotherspoon and his mates in the final periods spelled defeat for the homesters. Bleachers, accommodating 480 people, were installed in the gymnasium for the Hope game, because of the huge crowd that attended the St. Raphael game. The playing court was moved about two and a half yards nearer the permanent seats, so as to allow the necessary room for the new bleachers. Probably it was for this reason that the team suffered its first defeat to Hope, 18 to 15. At any rate, from the sidelines, it seemed that their usual cleverness in passing and shooting was lacking entirely in the hitherto undefeated team. East Providence received a severe jolting as the Redjackets, with Jigger” Nunez caging the sphere for 15 points, came out on the long end of a 27 to 22 score. The following afternoon, January 26, at Kingston, the Rhode Island State “Frosh” took the Paw-tucketites into camp, 28 to 12. Cumberland, St. Raphael, and West Warwick were the next victims of the locals, the final scores of these games being 39-15, 23-18, and 25-20, respectively. The annual Woonsocket-Pawtucket clash at the Northern City was the greatest game of the entire season. Because a Pawtucket High team had never before emerged victorious at the Woonsocket balli- wark, the Morrismen entered the fray as the underdogs. At half time the home five had a comfortable lead, 11 to 3. But as the whistle started action again, the Redjackets, playing rings around their opponents, managed to pull ahead and win, 19 to 18. Classical offered little opposition in the next contest, but Commercial and Cranston were not willing to go down to defeat without giving all they had, and as the scores indicate (15-14 and 21-20 for P. H. S.), the playing was very intense. Traveling to the City Gym, the Red and White rimmers staged a sensational uphill battle and knotted the count at 15 all, at the conclusion of the regular playing time, and succeeded in caging two baskets while the East Siders sunk a foul shot in the three-minute overtime period. With a tie existing for first place in the loop. East Providence and Pawtucket High School met to dissolve the deadlock before 1,200 noisy spectators at the Central Junior High School, East Providence. After each team had alternated in holding the lead, the “townies” finally pulled ahead, 18 to 12. P. H. S. defeated West Warwick again, and then took on the fast Woonsocket team. The Redjackets could not stop the terrific attack, and lost, 21 to 10. Central Falls packed away the first game of the annual Twin-City series, 23 to 18, after Pawtucket rolled up a 10 to 5 score at the half. Classical and Commercial were the last league teams to fall before the Redjackets, 20 to 10 and 24 to 16 respectively. Pawtucket gained two well-deserved victories over our adjacent city rivals, 17 to 14 and 24 to 15, to become the proud possessor of the Frank A. Martin Loving Cup (symbolic of the Twin-City Championship) for one year. With gate receipts totalling almost SI.000.00 for the home games, the basketball team enjoyed its most successful season financially. The players who earned their insignia were Pytel, Monahan, Farber, Bertoncini, Jablecki, and Barsa-mian. Although all letter men will be lost to the team by graduation, Red Rowley and Jigger” Nunez are expected to lead many of this year's second team to even a more successful season in 1930. G.

TENNIS Captain......Frank G. Rowley, Jr. Manager M. Murry Halpert LTHOUGH tennis at our high school is still in its infancy, much can he expected of that sport. Under the leadership of Captain Frank Rowley, last year's tennis team won four out of five matches. Our only defeat was to Hope High School team, which was rated as one of the best teams in the state. This year a fine schedule is being arranged which will include the outstanding schools of the state: Moses Brown Academy, East Providence High School, Hope High School, Technical High School, Brown Freshmen. Classical High School and Central Falls High School. Through the courtesy of the Oak Hill Tennis Association, we have been able to use their courts for our practices and for our home matches. This year is the second year that our high school has had a tennis team, and we are very fortunate in having many veterans of last year’s team. This year we have many very capable players. Among those are: Captain Frank G. Rowley, Rhode Island junior tennis champion; Charles Rowley, a member of the Rhode Island junior doubles championship team, and runner-up for the junior singles championship; William Copeland, Jack Farber, Ted Monahan, Barney O'Connor, Jack Woodhead, all Y. M. C. A. stars. Among these men, F. Rowley, C. Rowley, Monahan, Copeland, and Farber are veterans of last year's team. We hope that tennis will be in the future one of the regular extra-curricula sports of this schools. M. Murry Halpert, Manager. RJLS. CLASSlt BOOK 1929 HOCKEY TEAM Officers: Manager, Peter MacManus; Coach, Mr. Maxwell Read Sitting: Pease, Rogan, Perlow, Lennon, V. Campbell Standing: Manager MacManus, Rowley, Sullivan, Mulligan, Allan, Warburton, O'Halleran, Coach Read S a new feature in athletics, the Pawtucket High School hockey team was a success. Although winning only one contest in the Interscholastic League, the team showed fine spirit and made marked improvement from the beginning to the end. In the last contest of the Interscholastic League, which was with East Providence, although the Pawtucket boys were defeated by a score of 1 to 0, they compelled the school across the Seekonk, which won the league pennant, to play an over-time period. The team played other schools, such as Brown Freshmen, who defeated us 3 to 2, and Moses Brown, whom we outclassed in a 1 to 1 tie. Pawtucket put up the best game of the season when it played Technical High, but due to a break which could not be helped by the Pawtucket boys. Technical was able to score. Much credit is due to Capt. Campbell, who, although ruled ineligible early in the season, was, in the games he played, one of the best defense men in the league. Most credit goes to Coach Maxwell Read, who was handicapped by having only a few veterans to depend upon for moulding a smooth working aggregation. The chances for the 1930 hockey team look very bright, for, although Warburton, Perlow, Rowley and Rogan, who graduate this year, will be sorely missed at the beginning of the next campaign, there are a large number of this year’s substitutes who should be the main-stay in a pennant-winning ter.m.

M. C. A, McClentic scored 5 points by winning the standing broad jump. MacManus and Fletcher also scored points. The second meet was held at the Cranston Street Armory. McClentic was our solitary scorer, but his points gave us fifth place. The team will be built around Captain Bing” MacManus and Herb McClentic. Meets are arranged with Technical, East Providence, Cranston, Classical. The team will also enter the R. I. State meet as well as the Brown Interscholas-tics, but due to the fact that the Year Book goes to press May 1st, we arc unable to give the results of the different meets, but we are hoping for the best.

McClurg, Woodhcad, Gullucci, Mowry Top Row: Coach Read, Butler, Kyle, Doll, Leach, Browning, Manager Dupont HE Pawtucket High School state championship swimming team completed a very successful season on March 20 at the Brown Interscholastics held at the Colgate-Hoyt Pool. Captain John (Red) McClurg, all-round athlete, was high-point man for our team, competing in the one hundred and two hundred yards free-style, as well as swimming on the relay team. Earl Leach was second high-point man, generally taking a first or second place in the fifty yards freestyle, and swimming on the relay team. “Bill Doll, husky free-styler, ranked among the point-getters in the half-century, and also swam in the relay race. “Archie Muir substituted for the fourth-place man on the relay team. John (Skipper) Woodhead and Fitzy” Fitzpatrick made a diving combination that couldn't be equaled in high school competition. Morris (Monty) Butler and Bill Callahan, Pawtucket back-stroke artists, had things their own way, battling between themselves for first place. Butler forced Fred Murphy, our star of last year, to the limit before he would accept defeat. “Art Toole, “Stuie” Kyle, our drum major, and “Bob Browning were the three breast-stroke stars who shared honors this swimming season. Other members of the swimming squad who deserve honor are Mulligan, Copeland, Gullucci, and Burt, who competed in the long-distance swims. Each swam on the relay team in the absence of one of the regular members. BUS CLASSlIrBOOK 1929 The season was opened with Hope High School of Providence, and a substantial margin of victory for Pawtucket was obtained. Then followed the contest with Technical which resulted in a crushing defeat for the Providence aggregation. The score was 52-10. Because of the new sports ruling made by the Providence School Commission, the meet with Commercial was called off. Classical suffered an over whelming defeat at our hands. Our encounters with the academies and “prep” schools showed that the tank men representing our school were above par. At several meets with these schools, the score was decided by the relay, which was the final event, and offered a great deal of excitement. Coach Maxwell Read entered the picked men of the squad in both the Brown and Pawtucket Interscholas-tic swimming meets. The home boys emerged victorious in both meets, annexing two new trophies to the collection won in previous years. After such a successful season, the team will be awarded medals for being state champions and letters for individual events won in different contests. George R. Dupont, Manager.

Coach Pearce started the 1929 baseball practice on March 20 with his first call for candidates. Four new regulars and a bench full of promising players were developed. The substitutes deserve a great deal of credit for giving competitive opposition to the regular team during practice sessions. Their experience in turn should be “cashed in on to advantage during the 1930 season. In its first game of the season with Cumberland High School, Pawtucket rolled up a score of 16 runs in only seven innings. During the melee our opponents managed to squeeze out a single score. Riding on the crest of this victory, the team allowed St. Raphael to win the next game by a score of 4 to 0. With this lesson in mind, the players settled down to real work and finished a very creditable season. All the home games were played on the new Pawtucket High School field, which is, without exception, the best secondary school diamond in the state. The fact that the field is enclosed and that bleacher seats arc provided for spectators made it possible to collect admission fees from those who witnessed the games, thus assisting the finances of the Athletic Association. It is our aim during the term of Coach Pearce to win a league championship for Pawtucket High School. Farnum Devoe, Acting Manager. PUS.
