Ediior-in-Chief Art Editor Managing Editor CHANDLER E. SWALLOW, JR. ROSALINE ANN BRAGA Carroll E. Adams. Jr. Class Book Board When we, the Class Book Board, accepted the task of producing this year's REDJACKET. we were confronted by the high standard that had been set by previous publications. To duplicate this standard, or even to approach it, demanded the utmost in cooperation from every member of the board. We have striven earnestly to make this book one worthy of its predecessors, a book which every member of the class will be proud to keep as a souvenir of his high school days. To Nellie V. Donovan, our faculty adviser, without whose guiding hand our efforts would be entirely nil, we acknowledge our deepest gratitude for her unbounded energy and worthy judgment coming from long experience. We also wish to express our sincere appreciation to Mrs. Lottie B. Carpenter, head of the Art Department, for the interest she has taken in our class book. We realize that the work done under her supervision adds immeasurably to the attractiveness of our REDJACKET. Under the fine direction of Rosaline Braga, our art editor, the art committee has produced work of a very high order and division pages that are unique and effective. With every member of the Board cooperating. Carroll E. Adams, Jr., has ably managed to roll up a good sum of ads, each one helping to lessen the expense of the book to the class members. The Board members have spent endless hours trying to compile and edit a book which will meet with the approval of the class. Those who do not know of the infinite details encountered in this work do not realize the great amount of time involved in composing and editing the articles, collecting and taking the photographs, and counting votes. We only hope that you will appreciate our work and will accept this volume as a worthy reminder of the members and activities of the Class of 1940. Chandler E. Swallow, Jr., Editor-in-Chief

Alfred J. Maryott THE Class of 1940 is not only the largest graduating class in the history of the school but it is probably the largest class that will ever graduate from a senior high school in Pawtucket, because hereafter there will be more than one senior school. Unemployment and other economic conditions will challenge the patience and courage of many of you, but you will carry on and achieve. The school will share your sorrow in adversity and rejoice with you in your accomplishments. It is our hope that many of you may be privileged, in some small way, to help build a brighter world, a world where might does not make right, where power, terrorism and diplomatic treachery do not trample justice and fair play in the dust, and where abundance which God has given may be enjoyed in peace by all. Once more may I remind you how fortunate you are to live in the United States of America, where the people still have a voice in their government and where the personal rights and liberties which our forefathers secured for us at a tremendous price have not been lost. May you beware of quack cures and false prophets—may you hold fast to the American way of Life. I am no longer your principal. My relations with the students and teachers of this school during the past nine years have been most cordial and happy and the days here will always be a pleasant memory to me. It is with much reluctance that I give up the close personal contact with young people that it has been my privilege to have, a contact that I enjoyed with no group more than with the members of this graduating class. We are all glad that Mr. Winters is the new principal. Already he has taken over the reins and fitted into the life of the school as if he had been here for years. In the short time that you have known him. he has won your respect and admiration. I know that you. as graduates, and the rest of the school as students, will always give him the fine loyalty and support which he deserves. Making a living is only part of making a life. A man is rich in what he is, not in what he has. In wishing you every success and happiness. I wish you not so much riches, as a rich and abundant life. Alfred J. Maryott, Asst. Superintendent of Schools I 1 1
