A BRILLIANT TEACHER AND A WOMAN OF BROAD CULTURE. WITH A KEEN SENSE OF HUMOR AND A WIT WHICH DELIGHTS BUT NEVER WOUNDS. THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY DED-ICATED BY THE CLASS OF 1939. 1 JLJL1 If 1 Cl ass Book Board We of the 1939 Class Book Board recognize the fact that in past years REDJACKETS have been produced that are difficult to equal. Inspired by high standard of these classbooks, we have endeavored to make this book—our book—a volume that will compare favorably with those that have preceded it—one that will contain a true record of our class and be a worthy souvenir for the 1939 graduates. We acknowledge with deep gratitude the help of Miss Nellie V. Donovan, whose guiding hand, tireless energy, and sound judgment helped us over countless hurdles. To her belongs more praise than to us for anything that we have produced. The members of the art department have given freely of their time and talent in order that this book may contain those artistic touches of which we are proud. From this department came the division pages, headings, footings, and panels, all finished in commercial air brush—an entirely new feature in a REDJACKET. Under the careful supervision of the Managing Editor, James Schora, an exceedingly large number of the ever-important advertisements. which help to bring the cost of the books to a low level, were obtained. The Board members have spent many long hours in completing the endless number of details. Those that are not connected with the editing of the book cannot realize the amount of work that is involved in garnering pictures, counting votes, and writing articles. However, we feel that we have been working for a cause that warranted our time and effort, and we shall be amply rewarded if this REDJACKET serves to recall in the future years pleasant memories of the Class of '39. Robert L. Knapp ft X; ft £ id l , u 1939 CLASS BOOK BOARD P rincipa Vs M THERE arc two forces operating in the world today which tend to blunt the sensibilities of man and destroy the idealism and the beautiful in life. Many believe that, unless these forces are checked and nobler influences prevail, they may turn the progress of the world backward and eventually destroy civilization as we know it. I refer to hatred and fear. I can remember no time when there seemed to be so much hatred in the world. International good will, love for one's fellow man. tolerance and kindliness have been relegated to the background and dislike and ill-will seem to be rampant and unrestrained. Instead of facing the evils and injustices that exist—and of course they do exist—with epen-mindedness and human understanding, mankind faces them with greed and distrust. Racial groups, labor and capital, the haves and have-nots, nations, sections within a na- essage tion. purges, concentration camps, the Godless and the Church, political factions—so much that is bitter and calloused, so little that is kind and forbearing! I have even heard people in the theater hiss when the picture of their president was flashed on the screen, in spite of the fact that, regardless of one's political beliefs, the great office of President of the United States is entitled to honor and respect. Why is the mood of the world, and even the temper of our own national life so ugly? Hating does not solve our problems. It makes them worse. We cannot hate ourselves into prosperity. The world cannot hate itself into a better day. a day of good will and trust, a day of peace and enlightenment. Fear also retards the solution of our problems. Hatred and fear go hand in hand, the twin offspring of selfishness and misunder standing. The situation in Europe is brought about by racial and national hatred. Ill-will and suspicion are built up, and these in turn are sustained by fear of those in power. Ill-advised and misguided as the people of the totalitarian states are. it is hard to believe that all of them approve of the policies of their leaders, but ruled by fear, they dare not voice their disapproval. In a world dominated to an alarming degree by evil motives, let us not lose confidence in ourselves and in the democratic way of life. Here in America we have much in which to rejoice. As citizens we participate in our government and share its responsibilities. We are not ruled by fear of our leaders. We have not lost freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of worship. We have social and economic problems to solve, but we have a [ 8 1 voice in their solution. We make mistakes, but, at least, they are our mistakes. The American way of life is based upon individual freedom tempered by good will and mutual understanding. We are taught in the schools not to be governed by impulse, emotion and passion, but by thought and reason. We are taught to withhold decisions and to reason things through. We do not indoctrinate in a democracy. To indoctrinate means to teach certain things to produce a certain attitude of mind, and to close one's eyes to all truths and facts that do not promote that objective. It means accepting without question or thought the highly censored and officially promulgated doctrines of the group in power. That is what the young people of the totalitarian states are doing. Democracy means the right to think for one's self and believe what one wishes. We should bear in mind what a democracy is. why we have it. how we got it, and the tremendous price we paid for it. It is the illiterate and uneducated, though often well-intentioned. as well as the idle and discontented who become the ready victims of propaganda and who. losing faith in the established order, surrender easily the rights and privileges they enjoy, secured through centuries of struggle and sacrifice. If we are saved from the turmoil and strife that some countries have experienced. it will be, in large measure, because millions of young people like you have gone through the schools of the land. Even though the times seem a bit ugly, there is still abundant beauty and happiness in life. You can find beauty even in the commonplace and share it with others. Mrs. Anne C. E. Allinson in her book Friends with Life” says: Once at sunrise, against a background of mountains bathed in gold and purple. I saw a gull fly over the foam-flecked blue of an inlet of the Atlantic. Its pinions of white, beating the crystal air. were turned to rose by the eastern alchemy. Their movement, strong and steady toward a goal, meant power. But laid upon that power, from a vast reservoir of light, was a beauty no less real, no less desirable. Happiness is the color laid by some inward light upon all we do and all we are.” Hatred and fear on the one hand, beauty and happiness on the other! May every member of the Class of 1939 find the inward peace and beauty which come from straight thinking, honest effort, and a fearless soul. A homely little verse of Edgar Guest says: I never can hide myself from me: I see what others may never see: I know what others may never know: I never can fool myself, and so Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting and conscience free.” You have to live with yourself. May you. at all times, be able to look yourself in the eye. May you find joy in your own companionship. And then may some portion of the world’s drab mood be dispelled by this personal happiness of yours, a “color laid by some inward light” upon all you do and all you are. Alfred J. Maryolt.

With his family he moved to Providence and later to Pawtucket, where he entered high school in 1904, his junior year. While in the high school, which was then housed in the Broadway building, he worked nights in the telephone office, and before Thanksgiving of his first year at Pawtucket he left school to devote more of his time to work. Later in the same year Prof. Elmer S. Hosmer. who was then the principal, persuaded Dick to return to his studies. Although he continued in the telephone office' and had a great deal of back work to make up in school, he still found time to play football, manage the baseball team, organize the first track team and first glee club, and to be a leader in the debating society. Coincident-ally, at his graduation in 1906 he was captain of one debating team and Joseph B. Keenan, our other honor graduate, was captain of the other. After commencement Dick” had no hope for any further education, but in the summer Professor Hosmer. who had taken a great interest in the boy. went to “Dick's home and told him that he would like to see him enter Brown in the fall. As a result of much hard studying, some high marks in examinations, and a scholarship, the young man was able to do just that. At Brown he was also one of the most active students, and he obtained his A. B. degree in 1910. From 1910 to 1911 he was physical director at Wayne, Pennsylvania. After a year away from home. Mr. Allen returned to Pawtucket High School, where he was received by Professor Hosmer as a member of the English staff. For four years he taught at his alma mater , and during those years he coached debating and organized Pawtucket’s first society of Thespians. His kind Day Allen friend. Professor Hosmer. urged him to apply for a teaching position in the Providence school system. Mr. Allen was soon accepted in Providence, and in a short span of years he filled the offices of teacher, assistant grammar school principal, principal of a grammar school. Director of Research and Guidance, and finally Assistant Superintendent of Schools. By this time he was Dr. Allen, for in 1 9 1 2 he obtained his A. M. degree and in 1921 his Ph. D. Dr. Allen has the greatest admiration for Professor Hosmer and he attributes his success to him more than to any other person. Dr. Allen’s ambition in life is to organize the public schools sO that every student coming through secondary schools will have someone who will take the same personal interest in him that Professor Hosmer took in me.” And this is exactly what he is doing. In the educational field Dr. Allen is nationally known. He is assistant to Dr. Stude-baker. National Director of Education, on a oart-time basis. He is a graduate lecturer at Brown. Boston University, and Harvard. He is the author of five books and joint author of two 1938 yearbooks, one for the Department of Superintendents, the other for the National Society for the Study of Education. As a speaker on educational subjects he is in great demand throughout the country. No matter how much he has done Dr. Allen is still striving to make the way easier for the student of high school age who is hesitating at the crossroads in his life. In his fifty-third year he is a kind, lively gentleman with sparkling eyes, who exudes personality and vitality to all who are privileged to come in contact with him. To this man who has climbed to the very top in his profession belong all the laudation and honor of the Class of 1939 of the Pawtucket Senior High School. R. L. Knapp [ 13 ] m : Joseph 13. Keen an TN June. 1906. the man who was to become the Nemesis of gangsters the country over, graduated from Pawtucket High School! Few people present at that graduation ever dreamed of the success that lay ahead of Joseph B. Keenan, one of the nervous seniors on the stage that night. From Pawtucket High School he went to Brown University, where in 1910 he was graduated with the degrees of A. B. and A. M. In 1913. after a three-year course at Harvard Law School, he received the degree of L. L. B. Immediately after his graduation he left New England and went to Cleveland, where he passed the Ohio bar examinations and began the practice of law in late 1913. By hard work he soon became prominent in his profession. and won the respect and admiration of his neighbors and colleagues. The World War found Mr. Keenan a member of the A. E. F. in France. In July, 1918, he was cited by General Pershing for meritorious service to his country, and received the thanks of the French government. He was promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant, and was honorably discharged from the service soon after the Armistice. Back to Cleveland and the practice of law went Joseph Keenan, and he quickly regained all that the war had cost him. He enlarged his practice and soon became one of the best attorneys in the state. He served for a time as district attorney, but preferred private practice. After thirteen years as a successful lawyer his admiration for Governor Roosevelt of New York caused him to participate in Roosevelt’s presidential campaign of 1932. He was a leader in the success of the “Roosevelt for President” movement in Ohio, and was the organizer of a political club which had a mem- bership of sixty thousand throughout the country. He continued his career in Cleveland until he was called to the aid of the Federal government in 1933. Then he was appointed special assistant to the United States Attorney-General, and assigned to lead a drive to end racketeering in the United States. Six months later he was promoted to the position of Assistant Attorney-General of the United States in direct charge of the Criminal Division. In his new position Mr. Keenan organized a “campaign against crime . It was he who caused the downfall of racketeers and gangsters in New York. Chicago, the Middle West, and the Pacific Coast. His administration saw the capture and death of America’s worst public enemies, the John Dillinger gang, and gave American citizens a security they had not known in years. After nearly six years in this high office he retired from public service on February 16, 1939. President Roosevelt, on receiving his resignation, said in a letter to him: “You have served with enthusiasm, distinction, and unswerving loyalty. Your future career will always be a matter of affectionate interest to me, and 1 wish for you in it every success and happiness.” The Class of 1939 echoes the President's sentiments, and is indeed proud to honor such an illustrious graduate of Pawtucket High School. In a visit to Rhode Island during his campaign against kidnappers, Mr. Keenan said to a high school audience here: Pawtucket on the Blackstone River will always be the great city of the world to me. because it always means our old high school and my friends who have been so kind. James Schora [ 14] JOSEPH KEENAN The Cl ass o f 1886 ' 'NF all the classes to be graduated from the Pawtucket High School, there has been none so distinguished for the fine bond of friendship and loyalty among its members as the class of 1 886. On the evening following their graduation from high school, located at that time in the Second Baptist Church on High Street, the boys of '86 held their first reunion, and they have kept up the custom every year since. Although only four of the twenty-two boys are now alive, the decrease in numbers has not dampened their enthusiasm for these annual get-togethers. They have a solemn pledge that so long as two survive, the yearly reunion will always be observed. William L. Perkins, custodian and treasurer of the group, with Rufus S. Adams, John Blodgett, and George M. Rex, is now making plans for the fifty-fourth reunion to be held in June. Of the sixteen deceased members of the organization, many were especially prominent. Walter G. Gatchell was a first lieutenant in the Spanish American War and a major in the World War. The Gatchell Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, was named in his honor. Lyman C. Newell, with degrees from Brown and Johns Hopkins Universities, was a professor of chemistry at Boston University, and the author of several textbooks of chemistry. The class, as a whole, has been exceedingly successful. A grouping of the occupations of the boys after college days reveals twelve businessmen, three civil engineers, one army officer, one lawyer, one minister, one doctor, one composer, one professor and author, and one certified public accountant. Mr. Perkins has placed in the. office of our school a box to be formally opened in 1955. the one-hundredth anniversary of the Summit Street High School, the first in Pawtucket. It contains a composite picture of the students of the school in 1886, with a brief biography of each, and a picture and description of all our school sites, complete to the present day. The purpose of the history is to acquaint posterity with the rapid growth and development of our city's educational facilities. We. the Class of 1939. pay tribute to the men of 1886 who have made so important a contribution to the life of the community, and who have set us and all other classes of P. H. S. an example of what class spirit really means. John Hynes [ 16 1 ■ A.PETERSON J - K) R-W i kj rreetings Xroin flic Class Presul ent FELLOW classmates. I know 1 speak for all of you when I say that we shall always look back upon our three years in Pawtucket High School as a worthwhile and happy experience. We shall remember our alma mater and not merely as a beautiful structure, modern in its facilities, and efficient in its organization—no. not even as the edifice one sees standing majestically above the Blackstone River. We shall look back to it as the place where we learned to live— the place where we found ourselves, since, for most of us. Pawtucket High School meant the last of formal education. From here on began the hard, troubled road which leads to the attainment of a full, rich life. As we progressed from class to class, we looked forward to getting back to our regular meetings in the classrooms, to renewing old friendships, and to making new friends. Our graduation appeared as the time all this would end. Now, because of this bond of friendship, our class of 1939 will. I am sure, have reunions which will enable us to re-live our school days. We have worked hard, and the success of many of our class activities has been great. We all know that the accomplishments of any school are governed by the attitude and spirit of the student body. The success of our activities is proof of the spirit and the loyalty of the class of '39. Our class of '39 has made its contribution to the life and achievement of Pawtucket Senior High School. Without being boastful. I think that we can challenge future classes to try to better our record. Much of the praise for developing such a fine class belongs to the teaching staff of our school. We are all indebted to our friends, the faculty, and we owe them much more than we can ever hope to repay. Now we really have come to the crossroads. “You to the left and I to the right. For the ways of man must sever. It will seem strange next September not to be all together again. Instead, we shall be facing the more sober realities of life, whether it be college or the problem of finding a job. I know that the class of '39 is a class that will be heard from. It is with deep gratitude that I thank you. on behalf of the officers of this class, for electing us to serve you. It is. indeed, an honor and privilege we shall never forget. The custom of having a class motto is a very old one and one that has been somewhat neglected of late. Still I think that there is much to be said for it. and I humbly propose to you the following: To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Jack L.

As lowly sophomores we felt as though we were living in a veritable Fairy Song”, while to the stately seniors we were but Babes in Toyland”. Mid the Fair Throng” of our classmates we soon became accustomed to the Perpetual Motion” of the activities of our fair school. There was much commotion As We with Glee congratulated our class officers—Jack Rhodes, president: Doris Goodreau, vice-president: Virginia Cook, secretary: Arlene Dawson, treasurer. Was This the Man my Fancy Saw?” this Spanish Cavalier ? Ah. yes. it was our football hero enjoying The Merry Widow Waltz” at the Student Club and the George Williams Club football dance. 'Dost Thou Know that Sweet Land' where exams are unknown”? was the thought of many of us as we were introduced to Senior High’s awe-inspiring mid-year exams. I As the exalted juniors danced to A Serenade in the Night at the Junior Prom, they whispered to the toiling soph ushers. 'Whistle While You Work’ Joy to the World and to all sophomores, for this was our “Great Day . Have you Forgotten so Soon ? that wonderful production “Growing Pains , our sophomore play? Night and Day April 14 and 15 the school swarmed with amiable strangers from all New England, participants in the New England Dramatic Festival to which Pawtucket was host. It was more than “Three Little Fishes in a Little Bittie Pool , for many a soph took part in the highly successful water pageant. Mickey’s Dream . Many were the pleas that they come back and Start in All Over Again . And so old Father Time cut off another year which, though very short, was one of the most profitable to us. We knew then that P. H. S. was truly our Home. Sweet Home.” 1937-1938 School opened in September, 1938, finding the class of '39 Passing By” and becoming juniors. With a Heigh-Ho” we greeted our newly-elected officers—Jack Rhodes, president: Doris Duxbury. vice-president: Arlene Dawson, secretary; Warren Smith, treasurer. The twenty-fist of October found all nations On Parade” at the Costume Pagent sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Association. With a Smile and a Song we had a holiday as our “Faithful and True” faculty attended the teachers’ Institute. On November 5 we danced to the music of the “Fellow Who Played the Drum at the Band Dance. A few weeks later we listened with enjoyment as The Band played On at their concert. I 127] “ ‘See, the Conqu'ring Hero Comes' ” thought we as the victorious P. H. S. football team left the field after the traditional Thanksgiving Day game. We were obliged to Stand Up and Cheer” the contenders from Pawtucket at the Moot Session of Congress in Kingston.

Nay, Bid Me Not try to describe the fun and hilarity that reigned at the first Variety sponsored by the P. T. A. Will You Remember?” (you could never forget) the successful dramatic efforts of the faculty? We badly needed Sympathy and a little Whispering Hope as mid-year exams rolled around again. It was Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here” that rang through the Quiet Night” at Pawtucket Night, sponsored by the Managers Club. Then in came The Student Prince” and The Romany Maid : Billy Boy” and Rose Marie : and Danny Boy escorting Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair . All were heading for the Junior Prom held February 11. After the splendid performance given by the casts of the three one-act plays we could imagine that the judges thought, “ 'What’ll I Do?’ I can't make up my mind?”. With Heart Bowed Down” we left the Brown gymnasium after our gallant basketball team lost the last game in the finals for the New England championship. In May even The Turkey in the Straw” came to the Hayseed Hop given by the Hi-Y. We listened Still as the Night” at the impressive Class Day exercises as the friendly Seniors left us to travel Over the Summer Sea” of life on their own. The responsibility that was ours, that of upholding their marvelous record and setting a similar example for our underclassmen, was duly impressed upon us at that occasion. 1938-1939 I'm Sitting High on a Hilltop was the One Song that we Seniors sang as we returned “Amid the Greenwood” of our summer vacation to the Sacred” portals of P.

However, our Hope” didn't vanish and we were richly rewarded, for it was truly a Jubilee when the Farewell” party in his honor was changed into a celebration welcoming him back, and all was Happiness” once more. See You Not Those Young Fellows valiantly fighting for victory? However, though we left the field Without a Song”, our boys showed their good sportsmanship when they accepted defeat with a “Smile in the annual Thanksgiving Day classic. We felt like true Russian Gypsies at the Thalian party at Lincoln Woods. Our speakers at the Moot Session at Kingston caught our attention with their excellent arguments as with an Enchanted Harp”. Every Mocking-Bird” of the Glee Club turned out to enjoy “The Pleasures of Youth at the Glee Club Dance December 9. There were more than Ninety and Nine” who applauded the production of Mother Carey's Chickens” to the echo. There was a Shower of Stars” in the second Variety Show presented by the P. T. A.

They Say that The Masquerade Is Over”, but there were thrills aplenty and excellent acting before it was discovered who wore the mask. As the “Stars of the Summer Night” shone on the night of graduation, we wondered. ’ How Can I Leave Thee?’ We Truly have enjoyed “Every Minute of the Hour. Every Hour of the Day”. As Dad and Mother watched attentively, they said. Remember 'When You and I Were Seventeen' ?” With Auld Lang Syne” in our hearts and a promise that I'll See You Again , we left our Senior Reception after dancing to the Sweet and Low music of an extended Dream Song”.

Ruth Bains Justine Tyrrell I 129 | . I I Do You K now Tk em? Here is a page meant to baffle your wits. With rhymes that are really quite frightful. And we hope you are acquainted with those Whom we've pictured here so delightful. 1. High on top and still ascending. Onward goes a kindly man, Working harder, never ceasing. Finding room for every plan, Speaking weekly to the thousands Who are listening for his voice. We respect and give our homage And for him we all rejoice. 2. Teachers and pupils all alike Study their lessons before bed at night, They know a supervisor who is strict And woe betide students who give homework a lick. In class she is excellent, driving us hard, But when there's a test, she pulls a trump card. Heaven help pupils who give homework the air For questions come pouring in without spare. And ten minutes later, when you're trying to pass. Away go the papers and she breaks into class. 3. I've heard some tales and seen myself The way a teacher drives herself, For there’s one person in this school Who far exceeds the golden rule. Class Book, Dramatics. Council, Classes, From one to another she always passes. And yet through all this turmoil, strife. She seems to live a happy life. 4. A trombone player slides into view, His accomplishments we’ll note for two The national Hi-Y President And head of Class Book management. 5. There’s a little stamp in a certain lab. Whose owner's not what's called meek. Lessons from him and experiments, too. Get harder and worse every week. 6. In your midst you have a genius. One who wears a laurel wreath. Writer, orator, actor, scholar, And we to him our books bequeath. 7. Mr. Endersby has a flair For traveling all over the place. In fact he has bunches of pamphlets and books Which he treasures like precious lace. 8. Miss Eames has found a note-book sad And oh what a fuss there is! She says, My dear, is this awful thing yours?” And heaven help him. if it's his. 9. Jibber Smith is his handle And to us he's quite a card. Come athletics, studies dangle While he does his best for Pard. 10. Jut Tyrrell is truly a cyclone. Rushing here and there. You'd think with so many things to do She’d be raving and tearing her hair. 11. As thin as a rail is Miss Spellman, For she seems to live upon air. But an actress needs to have pallor. And debators need her red hair. [ 130 ] mm 12. 14. A wind-tanned individual with a ready smile and wit. Joshes and jokes the boys all day through endless miles of work. In football, morning and afternoon, he makes the boys fight hard And he can make a greenhorn raw into a passable guard. 13. There are certain things you must know,” she says. And she says it again once or twice. And the next day -more certain things we must know Though forgot we the first in a trice. Who is the slave driver of us girls. Who makes our muscles ache day after day? And makes us crawl the whole length of the pool When we want to crawl to a corner and stay. 15. Now that our verses have ceased to rain. Upon your weak and overworked brain, Now that our questions begin to prey. Upon your minds which have worked all day. If this job seems too much for you. Why. just turn over the pages a few. And there the answers you will find Right where we put them. Aren't we kind? Davis Spalding Wendy Kinnell [ 131 ] IJ!I1K a Last W ill A nd Testament V TE. being the most far-sighted graduat-” ing class of Pawtucket Senior High School, have decided, in order to preserve the glory of our stay here, to place in a time capsule made of Wolfidium—the ninety-third element, which was discovered in our laboratories and named in honor of our Prof” Herbert Wolfe—various articles of Americana indicative of the high advancement of the species Homo Sapiens at the time of the graduation of the class of 1939. This cylinder will be forwarded to the current New York World's Fair (the class book board wishes to state that it is receiving no pecuniary compensation for advertising rendered) where it will remain until the year 6871. at which time the scientists or invading Martians will find in it: First: To emphasize this class book board’s indebtedness to those who gave them aid in their dire distress— One cracked phonograph record, to be played continuously, chanting. “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, etc.” on through eternity. Second: To orientate our descendants in matters mathematical— One slide rule together with a treatise on the correct manipulation thereof, composed in words of two syllables by our revered expounder of calculus. Mr. Endersbee. Third: To preserve for their benefit some record of the slightly undefinable mania in the realm of contemporary music — One recording of the swing renditions poured forth from the Student Council’s new amplifying system at assemblies. Although we deplore the impossibility of including any specimens of that newly discovered class of insect pest known as the “jitterbug”. Miss Kelly of our Biology Department has graciously condescended to permit the printing of her laboratory notes on the lives and habits of the aforesaid creature. Fourth: To establish this school’s record of rock-bottomed conservatism— The shining bronze tablet awarded to this sage institution of instruction for being one edifice of education whose curriculum has higher aims than teaching ambitious goldfish how to work their way through college men. Fifth: To ask a favor of our descendants— An earnest plea that they find out if the sanitorium proposed by Mr. William W. Lee, Jr., was ever erected. This structure, as explained by the sage of 318, would be for the express purpose of restoring vitality to the delicate children under his care who. because of either the lack of sufficient nourishment and consequential lack of energy, or of a deficiency in their mental equipment, fail to proclaim their ability to answer his interrogations by waving their arms frantically in a cross-wise movement through the atmosphere. Sixth: To give future inhabitants of our mundane sphere an accurate picture of our present day civilization— We plan, lest the social conditions of our society be visualized by them as a Utopian democracy, to include some mention of the mental torture imposed on the poor, impressionable, and defenseless children of high school age between the dates of January twenty-fifth to twenty-seventh inclusive. This will, we hope, effectually demonstrate how even in this day of progress some ultra-conservative souls still cling to cruel and barbaric methods of torment. [ 132 ] m 'jwi m Seventh: To complete our physiology exhibit— One X-ray of Mr. Maxwell W. Read to offer a solution to the yearly increasing mystery of what happens to all those cheese on ryes. Eighth: To show evidence of the growth of a race of supermen of both athletic and mental proficiency— One photograph of our assembled athletes and. by the unanimous and magnanimous consent of the student body, one picture of this graduating class to represent the epitome of the alert and progressive little genii of the growing generation. The inclusion of this item is quite safe, for by the year 6871, we hardly expect any of the present faculty to be able to cast any derogatory remarks on the scholastic ability of any of our classmates. Ninth: To show how man’s ingenuity has overcome his bodily aches with sedatives. pills, opiates, etc.— One complete set of Miss Eames' beloved Congressional Record with a special recommendation from all her pupils testifying to its magical powers in curing insomnia. Tenth: To make them familiar with our chemical knowledge— I One copy of the absorbing volume. “What Every Chemist Should Know , by Herbert Wolfe. From this we have chosen such poetical gems as the following selections: Blue to red Acid (pronounced ased) This poem, which the beaming Mr. Wolfe recites at his astonished pupils in a manner between a lamasery chant and a May song, is perhaps one of the chief things the feminine members of his class will remember. Eleventh: To array in one exhibit a collection of the idiosyncrasies, foibles, and peculiarities of this cross-section of American life— One tangled heap of miscellaneous items, including little devices labeled hats, which the feminine members of the faculty and student body deem worthy to perch atop their hirsute adornment. Finally: (to sound at least one note of solemnity in our conglomeration of oddities)— All the knowledge our receptive minds have absorbed during our transitory stay here, fully realizing that upon the students of today lies the responsibility for the ultimate achievement of the wonder world of tomorrow. Norman Larson I 133 J ATHLETICS CLUBS DEJBATI m DRAMATICS MUSIC Student Council HTHE year 1939 was a banner year for the Pawtucket High School Student Council. Under the leadership of Robert Knapp as president, George Blease as vice-president, Arlene Dawson as secretary, and Frank Brown as treasurer, the Council realized one of its greatest ambitions. With funds netted from two years of candy selling at basketball games and in the cafeteria, the Council purchased an excellent public address system for use in the auditorium and the gymnasium. The amplifying set was installed in January and has been used so much since then that the wisdom of its purchase has been proved time and time again. In April the set was improved so that it is now available for dramatics, band and orchestra work, dancing, and speaking. The Student Council of 1939 will be remembered in years to come for this excellent addition to the school's equipment. Elsewhere in the school the Council carried out its job of making for a better understand- ing between the faculty and the student body. Its members were instrumental in obtaining much needed improvements in the cafeteria system. Some of the members spent much of their time in promoting and helping the sale of class rings and pins. The Pawtucket Council played an active role in the Rhode Island Student Council, which is composed of representatives from every senior high school in the state. Our school was ably represented in this body by Doris Duxbury. At the annual spring election of the Rhode Island Student Council. Ellsworth Noelte. P. H. S. '40. was elected vice-president for the year 1940, a role which will bring a great deal of honor to our school. All in all. the Pawtucket Student Council has done a job this year that warrants the praise of high school students, past, present and future. Robert L. Knapp I 136 | Hi-Y THE Pawtucket Hi-Y Club of 1938-1939 has concluded another year under the expert guidance of the advisory committee consisting of Milton Locke. Harvey Saul, and Dr. Crosby. This year the club ranked among the highest in the country. The fine talks given by prominent New England men were attended by a large number of members. Our officers succeeded admirably in holding the club together and in promoting discussion after the addresses. The many speeches which we had the good fortune to hear were not only interesting but will be helpful in the trying years after high school. The speakers pointed out the pit-falls into which the typical graduate stumbles and suggested solutions to problems. Among those we heard were Principal Edward S. Young of Central Falls High School. Alfred J. Maryott, Harvey Saul, Lucius Whipple, and Newton Hayes of Northeastern Univer- sity, who was our guest at the Good Friday Breakfast on April 9. Robert Knapp, one of the three delegates who attended the convention at Borea. Kentucky. in 1938. was elected National Hi-Y President. During the two years the convention has assembled. Pawtucket has had the good fortune of having one of our boys elected president each year. The three delegates returned and took over their duties with new vigor. On March 6 a large group of the Club journeyed to Newport, where they attended the Narragansett Convention and a picnic. As the days swiftly approach June 22, we of 1939 leave to the future graduates of 1940 a high standard of programs to live up to, a balance in the treasury, and the Hi-Y statement of purpose: “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community. high standards of Christian character.” Francis J. Troendle I 137 | Student Cl id) THIS year the girls who have attended Student Club every Tuesday have had many good times. So many girls have become interested in this club that, for the first time, it had to be separated into two divisions, the Junior Hi-Tri Club and the Senior Student Club. Each club had its own officers, but Mrs. Jennings, the Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., supervises both of them. Without her assistance we should never have been able to succeed in our enterprises. There were three meetings at which the two groups joined together to enjoy the speakers of our charm school. We had discussions concerning hairdressing, posture, and that band-box look . An unexpected snowstorm did not hinder the success of our Mid-Winter Conference, which was held at the Gloucester Country Club, Greenville, R. I. At Christmas and Thanksgiving we made several families happy by our usual contribu- tion of food baskets. At the Christmas season we also gave a party at the Pawtucket Day Nursery and presented the children with little gifts. Our many socials will long linger in the memory of every Student Club girl. Among them was a roller-skating party at which we entertained the Hi-Y boys in return for the enjoyable evening we spent at a meeting of their club. The Killarney Hop. sponsored by the Student Club on March 17, was a huge success. The decorations were green and white in accordance with the day. At the beginning of May the Junior Hi-Tri Club had its annual May breakfast for the senior girls. Two memorable events were our annual Father and Daughter Banquet and our Mother and Daughter Banquet. At the latter there was the installation of officers for next year. We. the girls of '39, wish them success and happiness. Arline Major 138 | Debating Society FOR the first time in seven years Pawtucket High has an active debating society. This club was organized on December 1 by Mr. Charles Shea, of the faculty, and a few members of the public speaking club. The eleven charter members, under Doris Duxbury, drew up a constitution and elected officers to serve until June. James Schora, a prominent member of the class, was elected president; Harold R. Shippee, Jr., vice-president; Iris K. Spellman, secretary; and Olive M. Martin, treasurer. Three of the officers and Edward Doyle were selected to represent Pawtucket at the Moot Session of Congress at Rhode Island State College on December 3. Our speakers won honorable mention on their discussion of the war referendum. Our season opened on April 14 in a debate with the Alpha Debating Society of New Bedford. The following week we engaged in a radio debate with Central Falls High School on the “British Alliance question. Our first home debate, with Central Falls, on the same question but on opposite sides, was a huge success because of the rising interest throughout the school in debating and the friendly rivalry existing between the schools. This debate was to determine the best speaker, and Doris Duxbury was selected by the judges. The highlight of the season was, however, the debate given at the morning assembly with the Wranglers of Rhode Island State College. Our debaters. Olive M. Martin and Harold R. Shippee. Jr., very ably won a unanimous decision. In the afternoon assembly the whole society sponsored an American Day program. This closed our formal debating season, which has proved very successful. We owe a great deal to Mr. Charles Shea, who has given much of his time and ability to aid us despite the fact that he teaches in the afternoon session. We sincerely hope that our small beginning will be the start of a debating society which will be as well known and active as the Dramatic Society. Iris K. Spellman I 139 J SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE SENIOR RECEPTION ART COMMITTEE [ HO] mam. 11 Cxrcolo Cultura —In lumine Tue, videbemus f I ’’l US year we. the Italian Cultural Club of the Pawtucket Senior High School, have tried to maintain the high aims and continue the cultural traditions of our club. From February to June, 1938, our Italian Cultural Club issued at Brown University the Cultural Review —a six months’ editorial project brought to completion with marked success. In June. 1939, it established an Italian Collection” of over sixty books (25 written in English and 38 in Italian) and donated them to our school library. These books are now at the permanent disposal of all the faculty and student members for reading and reference purposes. This year we have added several volumes to our already large collection. We have also organized a Progressive Study Group which, besides having afforded the students mutual assistance in their studv of Italian, has also devised elementary and advanced Verb Blanks for use in first and second year Italian classes. Through the kind interest and permission of Mr. Maryott. our Principal, the printing department of our school has printed two thousand copies of these verb forms for us. As for social activities, our Club was for tunate last March in having guests from' Providence Classical High School, who presented a very instructive and enjoyable program. Our Club is now a member of the Columbia University American Federation of Italian Clubs, and our President and two of our Directors were the guests at a dinner given at Columbia University by the eminent writer. Professor G. Prezzolini. Director of the Casa Italiana of Columbia University, in honor of the Italian Club Presidents from all sections of the United States. ' The membership of our Italian Cultural Club is a cosmopolitan one. including students of Italian. French. English. Greek. German, and American extraction. As president of the club I wish to say that we. the Senior members of the Italian Cultural Club, pass the torch and hope that junior and sophomore members who will follow in our footsteps will hold it high and carry on The officers of the Italian Cultural Club are: President. Gregorius Sefakis: vice-president. Alice Ridolfi: secretary. Gloria Gianetty: treasurer. Ario Scotti: publicity agent. Rose Bruzzi: club historian. Alice Ridolfi: chairman of social committee.

Le deuxieme mardi de chaque mois. les membres se sont rassemblcs dans la salle A-l afin d'avoir ensemble une heure de plaisir tout en parlant la langue la plus belle du monde apres la notre. le franqais. Ces conversations, naturellement, ont procure aux membres un moyen de discourir facilement en fran ais sur les petits sujets qui se presentent dans une salle de recreation, mais qui ne se discutent point en dasse. Les jeux ont ete nombreux et tres gais. les saynetes, d'une hilarite extreme, et le tout, un ensemble de divertissement et de plaisir. Aussi. nous sommes parvenus a chanter souvent quancl meme que notre piano fut tres mediocre. Toutefois. il faut remercier le comite scolaire et surtout Mr. Maryott de leur donation d'un magnifique piano, qui nous fut presentc a la derniere seance du cercle. II viendra certaine-ment en aide a Mile. Mackenzie lorsqu'elle conduira les prochains membres dans leur rendition de Au Clair De La Lune”, “II Pleut, Bergere’’, ou meme “Alouette”. Au commencement de l'annee, les officiers choisis furent: M. James Schora, president. Mile. Ruth Bains, vice-presidente. Mile. Phyllis Duby. secretaire, et Mile Rita Burns, tres-oriere. A cette meme reunion, les membres ont decide d'elire des officiers deux fois par annee et alors, au mois de fevrier, Mile. Bernadette Dusseault fut elue presidente, M.

Eleanor R. Beittel I 143 | 1 -Mtam agers TWO years ago a few junior athletic managers decided to organize a managers' club. Since Cranston High School was the only school in the state that had such a club, we wrote to their organization. The Green Key , for information. They sent us their constitution and helpful suggestions with their best wishes for our new venture. With the help of the Green Key Constitution we formed our rules and regulations, which differed slightly from theirs. We elected officers for the 1938-1939 year as follows: Shian Kanarian. president: Henry Adams, vice-president: and Chester Foster, secretary-treas-urer. At the beginning of the season we had approximately fifteen members, but the number increased to twenty-five before the year had ended. Our faculty adviser. Mr. Max W. Read, gave the club full control of all athletic managers in the school. We held several meetings in which we organized a membership committee to place only the dependable boys in our organization. Any member that was found undependable was informally dismissed from the club. We arranged for our annual “Pawtucket ’ CU Night of January 29 two basketball games. The senior girls played against the girls of the junior class. The second game was the managers versus the men of the faculty, headed by Mr. Coughlin. In the opening game, before a crowd of 500 students, the senior girls beat the juniors 24-20, by slowly increasing their score towards the end of the game. The feature game between the Managers' Club and that of the faculty proved to be quite an exciting one. There were many changes on the score board during the game. Finally the game ended with the score 32-28 in favor of the Managers’ Club. In the two years of playing bastketball this game was the first victory for the Managers' Club against the faculty. The proceeds of Pawtucket Night was divided between the Managers' Club and the Girls’ Athletic Fund. Last year the Club donated their proceeds toward the new band uniforms. This year with our share of the money we added two more athletic jackets to the ones bought last year, which makes a total of twelve. We have made it a rule to donate some part of our proceeds from Pawtucket Night to some organization in the school every year. Shian Kanarian. ’39 [ 144] Bank C asli lers HAT TORK, earn, save, spend” is the slogan VV which is behind the thrift movement sponsored by the schools of the nation to encourage pupils to acquire the habit of systematic saving. Such is the goal of the pupils of the Pawtucket Senior High School. Banking has gone on as a regular school subject with no assembly programs to boost it. The interest in thrift through school saving is evidenced by the number of deposits and the amount of money deposited this year. $4,983.34 has passed through the hands of the senior cashiers from the 9.054 deposits of our senior class. A large majority of our class earns the money that they save from week to week. The meeting of the expenses of graduation is the purpose of much thrift. The foresightedness of many pupils in banking throughout the year for graduation expenses or future needs has resulted in thoughtful saving and. we hope, wise spending. These two principles are badly needed in the world of today and tomorrow because of the swift economic and social changes which confront us. Thrift should be presented as something practical, the need of which meets us in the solution of every problem demanding our attention. We are proud when, on class day, the cashiers who have had an average of 70% in their rooms for the year receive honors. The following seniors will receive them: Marion Burke. Stephen Bucklin. Isabel G. D. Car-ruth. Alexander Chalko. Doris Duxbury, Adele Schwartz. D. Beverly Grout. John J. Guastello, Beatrice S. Vengerow, Harold Shippee. Jr.. Ralph D. Newell, and Ralph N. Odgen. Isabel G.

[ 146 ] i!im m Motker C 1 arey s Ckickens THE Pawtucket Senior High School Dramatic Society opened its 1938-1939 dramatic season with the presentation of Kate Douglas Wiggin’s Mother Carey's Chickens”. This time-tested home comedy proved a fitting vehicle for the talents of the Thespians of the Class of 1939. and was hailed by all those who had an opportunity to witness it as an aesthetic production of the first order. Under the able direction of Miss Flora Curtis, the cast, headed by Miss Justine Tyrrell as Nancy Carey, kept up the traditional excellence of season openers. The plot is concerned with the lives and loves of the Carey family and their struggle to find happiness after the death of Mr. Carey. Following his untimely decease the Carey brood moved into a ramshackle, antiquated mansion which was finally rendered livable through the aid of the eccentric Popham menage. Mr. Ossian Popham, a good-hearted hen-pecked husband, was portrayed to perfection by James Schora, who proved, on this occasion, that his talents were musical as well as histrionic. Doris Duxbury. the dominant, nagging, sharp-tongued Mrs. Popham. and Suzanne Harpole as the suppressed Lallie Joy. portrayed mother and daughter in their own inimitable style, and played their roles of hilarious comedy to the great delight of the audience. The difficult part of Julia Carey was played by Miss Iris Spellman. With the aid of her enviable crimson tresses, she maintained a disdainful aloofness and exhibited a satirical temperament that added considerably to her portrayal. Miss Justine Tyrrell must be complimented for her interpretation of the lovable Nancy Carey. It was marked by exceptional feeling and unusual finesse. All in all. it was an excellent, well-rounded performance. Stage Crew Trained IN past years the stage crew has always been a necessary and virtually indispensable part of any dramatic production, but little if any attention has been paid to the necessity for a crew well-versed in the intricacies and difficulties of stage technique. This year, for the first time, some great mind came forth with the tradition-shattering suggestion that something could be and should be done in recognition of the laborious work and responsibility accepted by the boys who work unseen, unsung, and unheralded. Mr. Tilden Mason, an outstanding member of the Community Players and a recent addition to the Senior High School faculty, deemed it a worthy project and graciously undertook the task of training those interested. An inspiring group of twenty-five boys responded and were instructed at weekly meetings by Mr. Mason in the fundamentals of stage managing. They made a beneficial tour of the stage of Faunce House Theatre in Brown University, and were given further experience by assisting at the productions of the Community Players. Mother Carey's Chickens” was the first play to be staged by an experienced crew, and the settings and the swift changes spoke well of the training received. It is needless to say that the staging of the other plays of the year has eclipsed those of preceding seasons. We are truly grateful to Mr. Mason. [ 148 | wm Dramatic Society THE Class of 1939 made its debut in high school dramatics through the customary channels of the Sophomore Play. With the presentation of Growing Pains the standard of exceptional performances was established by the young Thespians for the three years to come. Aurania Rouveral’s splendid delineation of the trials and tribulations of adolescence was a fitting prelude for the budding dramatists and was played with undeniable realism. Admirable performances were given by George Rennex. Peggv Sprague. Irwin Jacobson, Doris Duxbury, Suzanne Harpole. and Elizabeth Chute. This year the Dramatic Society contributed to the program of the annual Variety with the presentation of Romance is a Racket, by John Kirkpatrick. Brilliant performances were rendered by Justine Tyrrell, in the feminine lead. Irwin Jacobson. Peggy Sprague, Iris Spellman, Elizabeth Chute and Harold Shippee. The traditional three one-act play contest was held March 3. In Allen Monkhouse’s The Grand Cham's Diamond commendable performances were given by Eileen Black and Ruth Bains in their character roles in- volving the use of the difficult Cockney accent. Entertaining renditions were presented by Harold Shippee, Irwin Jacobson. Marguerite McBride, and Eileen Wright in Stop for Love Scene.” by John Kirkpatrick, the well-known playwright. Added to the success of these presentations was the unanimous acceptance of Young America as the superior production of the evening. It was acclaimed at the Rhode Island Dramatic Festival and was chosen to represent Rhode Island at the New England Dramatic Festival at Norwich University, Vermont. Eileen Wright must be complimented for her worthy portrayal of the sympathetic Mrs. Doray. In concluding, it would be impossible for us even to mention the drama without associating with it the name of our beloved coach, Miss Flora S. Curtis, who has given untiringly of her time and talents to the success of each and every production. We. the Class of 1939, thank you. Miss Curtis, for your kind cooperation, your uneclipsed direction, your enviable fortitude, your encouraging words, and for bolstering our vitality in moments of depression with those delectable chocolate bars. [ 149 | Footlights selected for final competition. The final decision. which depends upon enunciation, articulation, interpretation, and appearance, remains in the hands of competent members of the faculty. Following the selection of a well-rounded cast, two or three informal readings on the stage are held under the guidance of Miss Curtis, after which rehearsals commence in earnest. Individual and group instruction by the director assists each Thespian in his characterization. stress being laid upon the importance of coordination of speech and motion. While the cast grinds at rehearsals, the production staffs are elected. The stage manager is selected and his assistants appointed. The electricians must study the necessary illuminating effects, plan the spot lights, and prepare any gelatins needed. The cast elects the property committee, whose duties are to be present during each rehearsal and to prepare properties two weeks before the final curtain. A great deal of their time and effort is spent in securing innumerable hand properties and cumbersome stage furniture to fit the exact time and type of the production. Thus, through the cooperation of all, a play is considered a finished product, awaiting the plaudits of an appreciative audience. Revision Of T1 ie Constitution ONE of the most notable accomplishments of this year's Dramatic Society was the revision and readopting of the Dramatic Society constitution. Immediately after the election of the new officers in June of 1938, the four officers considered it their duty to prepare for the season of 1939. At the suggestion of Miss Curtis the constitution of the society was examined and found inadequate. Because of the two-session day, and the growth in membership and importance of the society, the constitution was in most ways out-moded. Without further ado the officers put their heads together and their noses to the grindstone, and after much consideration and discussion it was decided that a custodian and a historian were essential to the well being of the organization. The duties of the custodian included the supervision of all properties and costumes necessary for the success of society productions. The historian chronicled the activities of the society by means of clippings compiled from the pages of the leading newspapers of the state. Provisions of eligibility for membership were made applicable to sophomores of the Sophomore Dramatic Society and juniors and seniors wishing to join the Senior Dramatic Society. Other minor changes were made and a more complete set of by-laws was formulated. The finished product was presented and explained at the initial meeting of the season and was unanimously accepted. The most appreciable result of the new constitution was the dispensing of the necessity for searching throughout all the corridors of the school for the required 25 members to form a quorum. For now attendance is compulsory, under the rule that states that any member who, without legitimate excuse, absents himself from three successive meetings shall be summarily dropped from the membership roll. Behind The THOSE facing the footlights as the curtain rings up seldom realize the work entailed in preparing a polished presentation. Every production has as its nucleus, a tryout, at which all persons desirous of a role must participate. Each individual reads from the stage to the best of his dramatic ability until the ranks of the innumerable aspirants are thinned by the slow and tedious process of elimination. Thus a fortunate few are 1 he jemor T lay COMEDY, romance, mystery, thrills, and drama all joined forces Friday evening. June 2. at 320 College Avenue” for a fitting climax to the dramatic achievements of the Class of 1939. The setting of the play was a sorority house, the occasion a dance in the mode of the Gay Nineties”. The orchestra was playing the incongruous strains of a classic waltz swung in 4 4 time as a pale blue beam of light streamed down upon the enchanted couples that danced in the captivating atmosphere. Then darkness!!! A terrified shriek Lee Lee He's dead!!!” With a murder the play was opened, and two acts of constant inquiry and grilling as to the person of the fiendish killer kept the play on the same high emotional peak that it had reached in the first scene. The gruff, cynical chief of police, ably portrayed by Melvin Haskell, spent half the time of the play being frustrated by all the suspects until Judith Wayne, enacted by Justine Tyrrell, stepped in and offered her services in tracking down the murderer. They decided to reduplicate the murder scene, and during the dancing a burglar alarm sounded. Consternation reigned as Russ, vividly suggested by Harold Shippee. dashed down the stairs and announced to everyone's utter amazement that Val had been killed. The immediate reaction of the Dean of Women, played with feeling and realism by June Macker, was to swoon in the arms of Professor Sigmund S. Slopes, characterized by James Schora with the usual excellence which accompanied his past performances. In the following scenes the Dean and the girls were rightfully irritated by the animadversions of Rita. Eileen Wright as Rita Day rendered a capable portrayal of a cold and haughty senior, with timely sarcastic rebukes. John Vaughan as the likable Billy, fiance of Judy, and Iris Spellman as the pretty, pert, and flirtatious Doreen Divine added immeasurably to the Dramatis Personnae”. However, without the able support received from the girls of the sorority and their guests, the superb performance of the leads would have been in vain. Deserving of honorable mention are Suzanne Harpole. Yvonne Champagne. Doris Duxbury. Eileen Black. Nancy Reach, Peggy Sprague. Eaden Keith. Robert Knapp, Thomas Carr. Irwin Jacobson, and Henry Adams. The unconventional ending held the audience breathless with suspense until the curtain was without precedent. Doris B. Duxbury SENIOR PLAY Dramatic Society Award POLICY OF DRAMATIC AWARD CHANGE. THE class of 1939 has inaugurated a new policy in Dramatic Society award. In 1925. when the award was first instituted, the graduating class of the Pawtucket Senior High School was 179, and the Rhode Island Honor Society consisted of 39 members. Through the years the population of our fair city has multiplied. The result of this has shown itself in the gradual increase of senior high school students. In this year's graduating class there are over 600 seniors. 100 of whom are members of the Honor Society. Hence, there are also three times as many nominees for the honor of being the outstanding boy and girl as there were in 1925. The only logical solution to the problem seen by Miss Curtis and the officers of the Dramatic Society was the discontinuance of the Dramatic Society medal and an increase in the money appropriated so that the awards might go to four persons instead of two. It was deemed best for the entire senior class to vote directly for two boys and two girls of the Rhode Island Honor Society who possessed the necessary attributes. The names of the five boys and five girls receiving the largest number of votes in the popular ballot were submitted to the morning school faculty for final determination. The two boys and two girls thus selected have remained a secret until the publication of our class-book today. In alphabetical order they are— GIRLS BOYS DORIS DUXBURY ROBERT KNAPP JUSTINE TYRRELL JAMES SCHORA Congratulations! [ 152 ] m '3 in Band SURELY the Band this year has made history. That is what we who had the great privilege to belong to it think. As we go to press, plans are just being perfected for what is a perfect climax to a happy year—we are going to play at the World’s Fair. May 24 —thanks to the public-spirited citizens who have raised the necessary funds. During March about fifteen of the musicians played in the All-Eastern Band at Boston. Here they collaborated with over two hundred members of bands dotting the coast from Main to Maryland to give a fine concert in the Boston Symphony Hall. We felt right at home, for the director was none other than our Mr. Wiggin. The Boston papers spoke in the highest praise of him and of the Concert. Hope Stanley came in for special mention as “the lovely scarlet-coated kettle drummer. whose blond locks waved furiously as she went about her dynamic task. At their annual spring concert the band played a well-chosen, diversified program which brought the people to their feet cheer- ing. At this concert were representatives of the Rhode Island Committee of the World’s Fair. In order to show the exceptional talent of the band, Mr. Wiggin had them play a difficult “swing’’ number entitled “Swinging the Ingots”. The players did such a fine job on this arrangement that they were immediately chosen to represent Rhode Island at the New York World’s Fair. On the second Saturday in May the entire Band motored up to Woonsocket, where they made a fine showing at the State Festival. In fact, this was the first time in the history of the Band that it received a perfect rating at a festival. The following Saturday they played at the New England Festival in Worcester. and again gave such an excellent account of themselves that again they won a perfect rating! At this time we are thinking of nothing else but our trip to the World’s Fair. All our lives we shall remember our years in the Band with Mr. Wiggin. William McCoy I 154 | Ore THE orchestra is one of our hard-working organizations. The members of this group meet every Thursday afternoon in Room 408, and, after a prolonged period of tuning, set about practicing, under the direction of Mr. Wiggin, for concerts to be given later in the year. Unfortunately, this year, because of lack of funds, the orchestra was able to make only two public appearances. On these two occasions, however, it certainly was a credit to Mr. Wiggin and to the school. Only the finest of our musicians took part in the first concert, which was given by members selected on the basis of merit from all high schools throughout the state. These ambitious and talented musicians met and practiced together on several occasions and then gave a concert in the new Hope High School auditorium. It was a great thrill to those taking part to know that their efforts were being heard by the entire state, since the program was being broadcast. The orchestra made its second public appearance at the annual spring concert given jointly by band and orchestra. On this occasion the orchestra presented a program of four varied numbers. It opened with Bellini’s brilliant “Overture to Norma . This was followed by the lilting strains of ‘.‘Poupee Val-sant,” by Poldini, and Godard's delightful “Adagio Pathetique”. Lastly, the orchestra played “Night in Seville”, which provided a fitting end to such a splendid program. The orchestra is a worthwhile organization. It gives the student opportunity to become acquainted with good music and also to keep in practice if he is no longer taking lessons. Above all. it gives him an opportunity to play under the direction of Mr. Wiggin, one of the best orchestra-leaders in the country. We owe whatever success we may have achieved to our brilliant leader—Paul E. Wiggin. Gabriella Lukasiewiez and Edna Coogan [ 155 1 Glee TN the fall of 1938, the Glee Club, under the -1- direction of Miss Miriam Hosmer, opened its seventh successful season. At the first regular weekly meeting. Eleanor Beittel was elected President: Olga Remiszewski. Vice-President: Elvery Lingard, Secretary: Edwin Wilbur. Treasurer; and Harold Shippee, Business Manager. These newly elected officers, together with Marjorie Soule, comprised the committee which planned and supervised the Club’s first business enterprise, a rummage sale, held in November. It was a financial success, and the proceeds were used to purchase much-needed robes. Members of the Glee Club appeared for the first time in their new robes at the annual Christmas assembly, singing carols in the spirit of the season. In December also another committee, consisting of Miss Beittel as chairman. Elvery Lingard. Edwin Wilbur, and Grace Barry made plans for a Christmas dance, which was a financial as well as a social success, increasing the funds in the club treasury. Clut The club contributed its part to school activities by participating in the Variety Show, held in January, in which Olga Remiszewski and Rita Kelly, a member of the Sophomore Glee Club, were featured soloists with the Glee Club. We were well represented at the Rhode Island. All-Eastern, and all-New England music festivals in February. March, and May. and the songsters who represented our school received abundant praise for their fine efforts. On May tenth, during National Music Week, the club presented its second assembly program of the year. Senior members will make their final appearance at graduation exercises in June. It must be remembered, however, that the honor and praise which the Glee Club has received for its ambitious efforts and its value as a musical organization is due largely to the splendid leadership of its able director. Miss Miriam Hosmer. Grace Barry Phyllis Duhy [ 156 ] mm w HENRY ( HANK”) SOAR I 158 ] cm H an k s oar IN 1930 a boy entered Pawtucket High who was destined to become one of the greatest football players in the United States. His name was Henry Soar, or Hank,'' as he was later to be known to his host of admirers throughout the country. Besides a splendidly developed body of finely tempered muscle, he had the ambition and the grit which tend to make a great athlete. His career at Pawtucket High alone was a marvellous record. For three years he played varsity football, plugging away for his Alma Mater in the position of fullback. It was undoubtedly at this time that he began to develop that style of offensive running which was to make him famous in higher football circles. He played guard in basketball, first base in baseball, and goalie in soccer. During his last two years at Pawtucket “Hank” made all-state in every major sport, including baseball, basketball, and football. The 1931-32 season, “Hank’s best season, was one of the greatest years Pawtucket High has had in athletics. Pard Pierce says of him. “Soar was a coach's delight— full of ambition, willing to train, and open to criticism.” In 1934 Hank” entered Providence College. His natural ability at sports kept increasing. and for two years he played fullback as a member of the varsity football squad. During this time he played at Smith Hill and was the bright spot of the Friar Club. In his junior year at college Soar was the fourth leading scorer in the United States. Through the interest of one of the priests at Providence College and the recommendation of Coach Nich Morris at Holy Cross, he was given a contract by the Boston Shamrocks. “Hank” made good in the training camp of this club. From that time on. he rose steadily. Offers of contracts from the most prominent “pro football clubs in the United States poured in. Among them were the bids of George Ken-neally of the Brooklyn Dodgers, John V. Mara. President of the New York Giants, and an offer from the President of the Cleveland Rams. Finally, in the spring of 1937, “Hank signed a contract to play “pro football with the much celebrated team of the New York Giants. And then he really “went to town . He romped from touchdown to touchdown, sending the Giants from one victory to another. He became known as one of the deadliest runners that the Pros ever produced. In 1937 Soar figured fifth in ground-gaining throughout the nation. In both 1937 and 1938 the Giants won the Football Championship of the World. In the latter year “Hank” had his greatest season. In the 1939 World Championship Game Pawtucket's own “Hank” Soar, in the last few minutes of play, plunged over the line to make the winning touchdown and to place the Giants once more on top of the world. At the close of last season he had made 401 yards in 122 attempts, or an average of 3.2 yards per attempt. And that's a record only an iron man could produce. Setting records like that have caused “Hank” to become one of the most talked about men in the football world. Great as he is in football, the one sport Soar really loves is baseball. Last spring he was approved as official in this sport by the Committee on Athletics of the State Principals' Association and has umpired in numerous school-boy games. “Hank” at present intends to go back to Providence College in the near future, and then, with a degree in his pocket, he'll be on his way to becoming as great a coach as he is a football player. Davis Spalding [ 159] 1WB I1 ootliall Nineteen thirty-eight found the football team with only three regulars returning from last year. With an undefeated sophomore team coming up. however, Pard Pearce expected to have an excellent team. The first game was to be a floodlight game at Coats' Athletic Field with the alumni, but the hurricane did so much damage there that it had to be postponed and held at the High School field. The team held the very good alumni to a 6-6 deadlock. The next Saturday Pawtucket High was host to Rogers High of Newport. After a hard game P. H. S. won by a score of 7 to 0, but the next week lost to the strong squad of Central High 7-13. The following Wednesday the team travelled to Cranston to practice under the floodlight for a game that Friday night with last year's state championship team of Cranston High. The game proved to be the best of the season. In the first half Ed Laprade ran almost the length of the field for a touchdown. Later, through the efforts of Chuck Webb, who was playing the best game of his career, and the rest of the team, two more goals were scored. When the final gun sounded, the scoreboard read 18-0 in favor of Pawtucket. Following this victory was a well-earned week of rest, for the game at Hope High was two weeks off. During this game Leo Karty received injuries which kept him on the bench I 160 | for the rest of the year.

Chester Foster In the annual turkey-day classic, and before Boys Baskctliall ALTHOUGH several of the regulars on last year's state championship basketball squad were lost through graduation, a competent team was formed with the few remaining regulars by the tireless efforts of our most esteemed coach. Robert Morris. Those on this year's squad, under the captainship of Earl Shannon, were the hold-overs from last year—Allard. Atkins. Smith, and Widenski: juniors, Blakey, Ricciardi, La-prade. and Karty; and two newcomers. Meik-lejohn and Ethier—the latter with two seasons yet to play. The Redjackets opened the season on the home court by smothering Colt Memorial 39-6. The second and third games were played on the seasonal trip to Massachusetts. At Fitchburg the 'Jackets, by a second half rally, wiped out the foe's 28-1 8 lead and came out on the long end of a 37-30 decision. The game in Westfield was won by Pawtucket 22-18, after lengthening an 8-7 half-time lead. On their return home, the 'Jackets were defeated by a strong alumni quintet 35-26. The Redjackets launched into their Class A schedule by playing Hope at Pawtucket. After holding a small lead through most of the game, the Red and White were defeated 32-28 in the exciting last minute of play. In the next home game our men trounced Mt. Pleasant 48-24. Five successive road games ensued with East Providence as the first stop. There the Townies were overcome by a 32-23 result after Pawtucket had launched a fierce first period attack and a three period consistent defence. In a hard-fought following game, the Pawtucketeers suffered defeat at the hands of De La Salle by the tantalizing score of 32-30. [ 162 ] The second set-back of the road tour was experienced by our Hoopsters when Cranston overcame a stubborn defense 37-34. In the next game the Redjackets easily topped a weaker Central five 39-17. At Newport the 'Jackets took an early lead in a hotly contested battle to overcome a determined Rogers quintet 28-24. Back on the home court Pawtucket fought an obstinate La Salle team in a game which required a sudden death period. However, the home team won this battle 25-23 when Ernie Blakey sank a “long tom from the outer court. Starting the second round of the Class A schedule, a persistent Hope five overcame our team's stalwart defense and won 37-32. In the next game the Pawtucket Hoopsters overwhelmed a raw Mt. Pleasant combination 46-31. The 'Jackets then turned in a stellar performance against East Providence under the leadership of Captain Shannon, who scored 22 points and handed the Townies a 5 3-30 defeat. Vengeance was wrung from De La Salle and Cranston for former setbacks when the home team defeated the former 33-20, and the latter 37-21. The Pawtucket quintet then paced the Central five for a 37-10 victory, and in the following game chalked up their second victory over Rogers, winning by a score of 39-35. In the last game of the season La Salle was defeated 40-30. giving Pawtucket seven straight wins. The Red-jackets ended the season in second place of the Class A division, having won 15 and lost 5 games. Due praise must be given to a determined captain who. even in defeat, never yielded to his opponents. Throughout the year Captain Earl Shannon strove to keep his team on top. and he lived up to his position by rolling up the most points of any player on the squad for the year. With capable junior and sophomore material coming up and with our most able coach. Robert Morris, to guide them, the senior class hopes that the basketball team of next year will have a most successful season. Kenneth G. Taylor m . i J1f¥ Tennis TENNIS at Pawtucket High School under Coach Nelson Blake is decidedly on the upgrade. Never before has Pawtucket High shown so much interest in the game. There have been more candidates out for the team this year than ever before, and it is hoped that tennis will be a major sport in the future. The first meet of the year against East Providence High was won by the visitors after a hard-fought match, the score being 3-2. The team then played De La Salle at Newport, where they received their second set-back by a score of 5-0. These two consecutive defeats only made the Redjackets redouble their efforts. The next two meets were practice matches between La Salle and Brockton High. The Pawtucket-La Salle meet resulted in a tie at four all. while the Brockton match gave the Redjackets their first victory of the season by a considerable margin of 8-1. The tennis team really proved their ability in their third league match of the year against Rogers High School of Newport by scoring a 4-1 triumph. From the team's performances during the Rogers match the chances of winning the remaining league games seem very great. Captain Wallace Gernt and Irving Reback. both of whom have been outstanding throughout the season, have been selected to represent the team in the Interscholastic Tennis Tournament to be held at Newport. This year's tennis team deserves all the praise and credit of the class of '39, and from the talent the promising juniors and sophomores have displayed, continued success for the tennis team in future years can easily be prophesied. Alfred Simon [ 164 | Golf I yHE Pawtucket High School Golf Team this year is composed of three juniors, Arthur Rose. Tom Kelly, and Bob Willett. and one of the members of last year's team. Jerry Morissey. This team was selected by Mr. Reed only one day before the first scheduled match with Barrington. However, even with such little opportunity for practice, the team won the match. Tom Kelly has been playing very well, his score being in the low eighties, while Arthur Rose has won two out of his first three games. Bob Willett has been filling very satisfactorily the highly important fourth position. With such evenly matched teams on the schedule this year it is difficult to predict at this time who will be the victor. At present the Pawtucket golfers have won four games and lost two, placing their team in third position. We must not omit the fact that without the able assistance and excellent support of our coach. Mr. John H. Reed, the team could not have been successful. Mr. Reed spends much of his time on the golf course, giving advice and encouragement to the boys. We of the 1939 Golf Team express the hope that golf will become a much more popular and more important game in the school program, and we wish for the team of 1940 the best of luck. Gerald J. Morrissey [ 165 ] oys Swimming ''T’i IE season of '38-'39 was one of great contrasts. With only three veterans returning, the team's future looked very dark indeed, but around the nucleus of Captain Charles Tait, Warren Smith, and John Douglas, Coach Read developed a team that was destined to be Rhode Island and New England swimming champions. Nosed out in the first meet of the season by Gardner High School, the team took the next six meets in its stride, but weaknesses in the back stroke and the breast stroke showed up in the meets with Worcester Academy and St. George's School. Discouraged by its relatively poor showing in the Brown Interscholastics, Coach Read put the team to hard work in preparation for the New England Interscholastics. They practiced doggedly every day, including Sundays. Slowly the team acquired its much needed balance in the back and breast strokes. Two weeks before the N. E. Interscholastics a meet with Central High School gave Pawtucket its final test. Pawtucket won this meet 40-26, with the powerful relay quartet shattering all existing school records. Our Pawtucket team was now the Rhode Island Champion. The final two weeks were spent in enthusiastic preparation for the N. E. Meet, and once again the relay team bettered its record in a meet with Wanskuck Boys’ Club. The great day came and Pawtucket led the field of ■ ■ [ 166 | CITVfl swimmers, taking the N. E.

Adams J3aseliall At the outset of this year's baseball season “Pard” Pearce was beset with a very difficult task. The championship team of the previous year had been almost completely dismantled. and it was the coach's job to build a new one. The pitching was especially a sad situation. Charlie “Bubbles” Harrington, ace of the 1938 club, had been lost through graduation, and there was no worthy successor in view. Indoor practice was called in March, and Coach Pearce undertook to develop his mound prospects. Eddie Laprade and Johnnie” Bailey displayed excellent early season form, and with the veteran Red” Hargreaves behind the plate, the Redjackets” appeared certain of a capable battery. Captain Eddie” Allard, Willard Hesketh. Bob” Rainey, and Jibber” Smith took over their old positions, and with re-enforcements from last year’s sophomore team, the lineup boasts a formidable array of hitters. “Pard” scheduled exhibition games for early April to ascertain the capabilities of his recruits. Pawtucket played two games with Cumberland and one each with Classical and East Providence, so that the coach knew the quality of his players before the opening of the league schedule. With the warmup tilts under its belt, the roster looked like this: Jibber” Smith, first base: George Duffy, second base: “Bob” Rainey, third base: “Eddie” Allard, shortstop: “Bob” Burns, left field: Wee” Hesketh. center field: Jim Nugeness and Johnnie” Walsh, alternating in right field: Red” Hargreaves, catcher; and Eddie” Laprade and Johnnie” Bailey, pitchers. In the first formal season game the Red-jackets” were called upon to face Mount Pleasant, a team of unknown calibre. Enthusiasm was at a high pitch in Pawtucket quarters before the contest, as our boys were favored to retain their Class A crown. The outcome of the fray was a disappointment, however. The Mount Pleasant squad, off to a good start, defeated our club 3 to 0. [ 168 ] Coach Pearce, not disheartened by the poor showing of his athletes, called practice sessions for the next few days and began to iron out the difficulties which hampered the team’s play. Pard’s laborious efforts proved to be a stimulant, for the boys, with better allround co-ordination, won their next three games. The Redjackets , receiving some remarkable hurling from Laprade and Bailey, subdued East Providence. LaSalle, and Hope, in that order, by decisive margins. Everything was functioning smoothly, too smoothly. perhaps. The club was right at the heels of the league leading Mount Pleasant squad, and was defeating its opponents with more apparent ease than were the Mounties. Over-confidence was inevitable. The setback came when Pawtucket journeyed to Cranston to play the home athletes. Our lads, never in the game after the first inning, were thoroughly humbled by the Green Wave. 9 to 1. The reverse was nullified somewhat, however, as Mount Pleasant lost a game to LaSalle on the same day. That is the situation at this writing. The Redjackets”. with three victories and two defeats, trail the leading Mounties by one full game. With a match between the two schools scheduled for next week, a settlement of the affair is not far off. If Pawtucket should win this set-to (and who of us think we will not?) a tie between the two clubs will result. If we should lose, our chances for a second successive championship are very slim indeed. We can only focus our attention upon the oncoming struggle and hope for the best. The truth will out. Wayne Allison John Hynes I 169 ] I rack UNDER the competent coaching of Eddie Farrell and Athletic Director Max Read, Pawtucket High's track team entertains high hopes for a very successful season. Unfortunately. Track had slid into almost complete oblivion until last season, when a large group of prospective candidates turned out in response to Mr. Read's urgent call. A still greater amount of hopefuls were on hand after the first summons this spring, and the surprising number of juniors and sophomores shows signs of renewed interest in this once-popular sport. Captain Stanley Parks, considered by many as a one-man track team, is the star of every meet. So far he has contributed a large number of points in every contest, and we are all cheering for his continued success. In spite of the twenty-five points piled up by Captain Parks, with five firsts in the inter-class meet, the Sophomores defeated the seniors and the juniors for the first time in the history of the school. The score: sophomores 60. seniors 45. and juniors 16. A strong Central team won out against us with a score of 77 1 2 to 44 1 2. Captain Parks again stood out with 18 points. Although ending up in a tie for fifth place in the Hope Relays, the team of John Mach-owske, Charles Parks, Arthur O’Sullivan, and Stanley Parks won outstanding recognition by shattering the two-mile relay record with the fast time of 8:36:8. P. H. S. retained the city championship by defeating Saint Raphael Academy after the Purple and Gold had led all the way till the closing events, when Pawtucket came through with a first and a second in the shot-put, and a first and a third in the broad jump. The final score was P. H. S. 54 1 3, St. Raphael 44 2 3. The Squad has still many more engagements through which we all hope Pawtucket High will come out the victors. Bernard F. McCoy John W. Hird [ 170 j Faculty Basketball AT the beginning of the basketball season a few of our most honorable and esteemed members of the faculty decided to engage in a little exercise and to share a bit of the limelight which was being cast upon varsity sports. As a result the P. H. S. Faculty Basketball team was formed under the management of Mr. Earle A. Phillips and under the captainship of Mr. Gregory Coughlin. The wing-footed educators who completed the team were Mr. Amos Hawkes, Mr. Jack Reed. Mr. Robert Brown, Mr. Norman Morton. Mr. Christopher Mitchell, and Mr. Robert Smith. The Pawtucket Faculty, not yet having limbered up. lost their first game of the season to the “bankers of the Industrial Trust by a score of 42-35. However, in a following return game, our teachers began clicking, and defeated the “bankers” 35-30. Then, after scoring a 34-26 victory over the Sock-anosset Faculty, the Pawtucket Instructors lost two consecutive games to a fast Lock-wood Teachers' five by scores of 36-31 and 40-30. Not to be discouraged, however, our faculty won a 29-20 decision over the Press Service, but in the next game were forced to undergo the humiliation of a 27-20 defeat at the hands of the Student Managers. In the final game of the season our teachers' quintet chalked up a 33-32 win over the Slater Park Business Men, giving the Faculty Team a standing of four victories and as many losses. The members of this team deserve recognition for being so ambitious and (should we say?) so courageous as to clothe their manly figures in basketball suits. Moreover, later in the season with the proceeds of an exhibition game staged against the managers of the high school, they procured jackets. Nevertheless. we are pleased to see our faculty engage in some sport, for we dislike to see them reach the age of ease and self-satisfaction. Next year, if this same ambition stirs our teachers (as we trust it will) to continue this extra-curricular activity, we, the graduating class, hope that they have as good a time and an even more successful season. Kenneth G. Taylor [ 171 1 Girls Leader Corp HTHE Girls' Leader Corps is a selected group of girls, chosen for their outstanding gymnastic ability, intelligence, and quality of leadership. The Corps this year had a membership of twenty seniors and twenty juniors, and they elected the following girls as presiding officers: Doris Whiteside, president. Louise Jamison, vice-president. Helen Oakland. secretary, Ruth Gifford, treasurer. Meetings were held twice a month. The first part of the meeting was devoted to current business and discussion, and was followed by actual practice work in the gym. where each girl took charge of the group in marching, refereeing, basketball, badminton, apparatus, etc. After these periods of instruction. each leader was required to report for actual class teaching in one of the sophomore classes each week, where she took charge of the day's lesson under the supervision of either Miss Nachtrieb or Miss Jones. This actual practice in teaching both gym and swimming was especially helpful in bringing out the qualities of leadership of the girls, and they showed rapid improvement in handling groups in their charge. Each year a group of sophomores is taken into the club to replace the seniors who are graduating. First, a party was held in the gymnasium to enable the leaders to become better acquainted with these girls. Games, planned by the social committee under the supervision of Althea Ward, were played. Each sophomore girl gave a one-minute talk before the corps on why she wanted to become a leader. Following this, the leaders chose from the thirty-one sophomores twenty-three. We sincerely hope that the corps chosen in this way will justify the plan. No mention of the activities of the Girls’ Leader Corps would be complete if in closing I omitted the fact that all the club members feel that their accomplishments and success are due to the wise counsel and guidance of Miss Martha Jones, under whose direction the club maintains its high standard of service and loyalty. Doris Whiteside [ 172 ] Girls’ S NCC again undefeated 1! 1 Yes. the Paw-' tucket High Girls' Swimming Team has maintained the precedent set years ago by former teams. Under the direction of Miss Martha Jones and Miss Carolyn Narhtrieb the girls have made an excellent record, upholding the standards set in the past twelve years. This year our meets included those with Cranston. Pembroke, and Wanskuck. We have progressed a great deal this year, entirely eliminating the 25 yard distance, and increasing the distances of each event. A one hundred and a two hundred yard swim are included in each meet. This, of course, means a lot more practice, and considering that it is difficult to find time for practice with the two session system, the girls have turned in an excellent record. Doris Whiteside, our diminutive captain, has rated very highly in the success of the wi milling team. She is one of the best free-stylers ever trained in this high school. Ruth Metz, one of the strongest swimmers on the team, also has contributed a great deal to our success. Alice Brierly is another outstanding member, excelling in the breast-stroke as well as in diving. Oar relay team, composed of Ruth Blake. Doris Whiteside. Ruth Metz, and Irene Lowe, has made a record well-worth praise. Virginia Cook, our manager, made the plans for our meets under the direction of Miss Jones and Miss Nachtrieb. and she has made tentative plans for some excellent ones next year, including a meet with Wheaton. It is with all gratitude that we thank Miss Jones and Miss Nachtrieb for the wonderful work which they have done instructing us and training us since we arrived here from junior high school in 1956. Justine Tyrrell I [ 175 | Girls Basketball BASKETBALL. long the favorite sport of the girls at Pawtucket High School, flourished this year as never before. The first thought at the beginning of the school year, it was taken up immediately in the regular gym classes. For three weeks all the girls were drilled in techniques such as pivoting, juggling, and strategy, so that every girl had some idea of the game and how to play it. The next three weeks were spent in actual playing. Two games were always going simultaneously so that everyone had ample opportunity for practice. Then, when the classes went on to something else, every girl who wished to continue basketball could do so on Mondays outside of school hours. For several years basketball has been under a severe handicap, as. because of the double session, the gym has been in constant use. For the past two years the Pawtucket Boys' Club has kindly offered its facilities. This arrangement, however, was not altogether convenient, as it meant extra work both for our instruc- tors and the girls. Nevertheless this demand was met good-naturedly and the response was overwhelming, with one hundred and ninety-two girls reporting every week. They chose their own teams and elected their own captains and names. There were five senior and seven junior teams working with Miss Carolyn L. Nachtrieb every Monday afternoon, and twelve sophomore teams playing Monday mornings with Miss Martha Jones. The rapid progress in skill and teamwork that developed quickly under their direction was remarkable. The teams were placed in three leagues according to their year in school, and then they competed for the championship. They played games that were regular in every way. Miss Nachtrieb or Miss Jones officiated, and the timing, scoring, and umpiring were done by members of the Leader Corps. There were many close hand-fought battles, but these senior teams were outstanding and clearly showed their superiority. Ruth Blake [ 174 J I Bad min ton T ADMINTON in Pawtucket is definitely on the upward trend. Last year the gymnasium instructors. Miss Martha Jones and Miss Carolyn Nachtrieb, always up to the minute in new sports, became immensely interested in this game which was rising so rapidly in popularity, and decided that it would be very appropriate for Pawtucket High girls' gym classes. Enthusiasm ran high among the girls and new equipment was purchased in order that more girls would have the opportunity to play. At first Miss Jones and Miss Nachtrieb taught the fundamentals of the game and the girls came down to practise every time they were able. The girls soon became adept in the fine points of the game so the teachers thought that it would be an excellent idea to run a tournament. A great many girls signed up to play, and all matches were played off at the Pawtucket Boys’ Club. Ruth Blake, daughter of the coach of the boys' tennis team. Nelson E. Blake, former ace in tennis circles and also an excellent badminton player, was the winner. She has followed in her father's footsteps, displaying championship form. Ruth successfully defended her title again this year when she defeated Jean Waddington in the finals. Medals were awarded both years by the Boys’ Club to the winner and the runners-up.
