'I I' The spirit of loyalty and patriotism has come down to us through the ages. lfl e read of deeds of devotion, of struggles, self sacrifice, and gg heroism, which speak of the fidelity of :nan to his fellozuman, to his 51 honie, and to his country. It is this spirit of loyalty that teaches the first great lesson which every one of us must learn sooner or later,' that men may ridicule, critics may censure, plans may fail, but if in our cause we remain faithful, we have won one of the greatest victories of life. This spirit of loyalty is the spirit that is firm and unyielding when Q things go wrong, that does not magnify trifles for the mere purpose of QI criticising, that does not lose all sense of proportion in judging. or inis- judging the school, that cloes not make a personal grievance. actual or fancied. the basis for ct settled policy of nagging or complaintg but it is i I: the spirit which makes us, whether we 'win or lose, do our best for the E school, that awakens in others vibrations of cheerful and willing devotion. rg and tlzat encourages consistent and earnest effort. ig? ln presenting the CRANSTONIAN for 7922, the Cranstonian Heard lzas not only endeavored to produce a book, combining with liter- ary attractions a chronicle of the year's events, which shall cause it to be preserved as a book among books, but has aimed higher: namely, to 5? make it a symbol of the spirit that supported our fighting football 52 team ,' of that loyalty that was shown when the students bettered their scholastic record ,' of the spirit that prompted a ready response fo the 5 k neccls of the library ,' and of the earnest ejfort and devotion manifested A E F by the students in all their endeavors to make Cranston High School stronger and better. Thus we sincerely hope that the CRANSTONIAN of 1922 may il prove to be an inspiration to all the students: that it may create renewed r interest in all which pertains to the 'welfare of the school ,' and that as Cranston graduates assume the responsibilities of life, they may be loyal, not only to their school, but to the nation and to mankind. rm?-WWW WW II : ET-Ein W5 Acknnmlehgmentn In presenting this volume, the C ran- stoniau Board wishes to express its ap- preciation of the efforts and hearty co- operation of the school and of the many friends outside the school. VVe extend our grateful thanks to the reporters and class representatives who have contributed valuable materialg to Madelyn Powers, who has spent much time and labor in typing the manu- scriptg to the artists, Calef Burbank, Frank Lanning, Powell Lanning, and Hope Gilbert, to Miss Richmond, for her aid in preparing the personals: to Ruth Jonah, Caroline Flanders, Eliz- abeth Kane, Inez Miller, and Anthony Lanni, for giving much time and labor to the securing of advertisements. Miss Kane's invaluable services as business advisor have helped to make this book financially successful. Our English teachers have our sincere gratitude. and especially to Miss Carpenter, our faculty advisor, Qlo we extend our grateful appreciation for her untiring service and patience throughout all the difhculties which surround the making of a hook of this character. Reikgzasia QW? MAYFLOXVERS VV hen the birds begin to sing, And you know it's really Spring, Take a day that's warm and bright To go for Mayflowers, pink and white. ln some quiet, mossy nook, That's the place where you should look, Where you hear the echoes ring And the robins blithely sing. Go onward to the rippling rill. Racing, rushing, never still: When this lovely spot you've found, There you'll see, upon the ground. Almost hidden out of sight. Fragrant blossoms, pink and white. - Inez I. Miller, '22 ge ,JL : f , BW: lmv 1 W, M W F W: ' '-- W, x ,, , UN W UE E: 11 as asf. N li, :fp 1 w f M Vw, Ski wx wg!

'12, Senior Qllaas Qiatnrg ln the fall of the year lOl3, we came to Cranston lligh School, a group of children, wide-eyed and open-mouthed. Wle gazed in awe and admiration at the dignified Seniors who passed us in the corridors, and quaked with fear when first we were sent to the office for mis- behavior. As usual, we were late for classes during the first few days, partly because of our greenness and partly because we were purposely misdirected bv upper classmen. XYe have the honor of saying that we were the hrst Fresh- men to occupy the new addition: also the first to have Mr. Bosworth for our principalg and, finally, we are the first to have had physical training for four years. As Sophs. we duly watched our charges, the Freshmen, and started them on the straight and narrow path. lt was in this year that an old institu- tion, the study room system, was abol- ished. 'l'he only way that we can ac- count for this extraordinary happening is that Mr. Bosworth, after trying us one year. recognized the zeal and integ- rity of our class and thought such a system unnecessary. As .luniors we fthe unlucky onesl plunged headlong into the depths of fliemistry, but most of us managed to keep our heads up until vacation came to our rescue. The masquerade which we gave in this year proved a great suc- cess, as did also the Senior dance which we gave the next year. During our Senior year a new insti- tution was founded which resembled somewhat the study room system of old. XVe are convinced that this was not adopted to benefit the Seniors. for it would be practically impossible for them to derive much benefit from it: consequently it must have been adopted to benefit the lower classmen. XYe ear- nestly hope that they will endeavor to follow the sterling example set by the illustrious class of '22, Also during our Senior year came the crowning success of all our achievements-the winning of the debate against East Providence. and with it a loving cup, a trophy which will grace our library as a memento of interscholastic debating and of the class of '2Z. whose members won it. Our Senior year is fast dying out, and the day is approaching when grad- uation will be foremost in our minds. XVe are all glad that we have success- fully completed the prescribed courses of study: yet it is not without a feeling of sadness that we think of leaving old friends, familiar scenes, and especially our dear old Alma Mater, Cranston High School.

Here we have Dixie-singer, dancer, pianist, cartoonist-in fact, an all-round sport, And we have an inkling that some day we may see Dixie's name in Keith's circuit programs. If so. she'll have many admirers from C. H. S. We can't help liking her because she is so jolly and friendly. She has always been interested in school activities whether athletic or social. We have seen Dixie only one short period a day since February and we sure have missed her. But we try to make up for it by seeing her after school. just what she'll do after leaving C. H. S. we do not know, but she has a fondness for the School of Design. Wherever she goes, or whatever she does, we know that she will always have plenty of friends.

She is never down- hearted or gloomy. She often says, I never know a thing! Yet Inhy is studious and upon first sight would appear quiet, but there is always a smile lurking somewhere about. There is no question about it. Ingrid is really full of fun and always ready for a good time. She is well liked and many of us outside of her immediate circle of friends miss her since she left us in February to take a business position for which her commercial training in C. H. S. has eminently fitted her. Li2oNARn BAILEY Len Raft with eval, pt'1'.rz1t1.i'i-rw, lfolzl, and strung, Rolled flu' full tide of lzix rlm1m'i1t'c along.

Coming to Cranston in the winter of 1918, Leonard imme- diately began to make a name for himself and if repeated sight of a thing enables one to describe it accurately, then Bailey should be able to locate everything in the office with the perfec- tion of an artist. But Leonard is not all fun loving, for he also has much natural ability. Where shall we begin when we start to tell of that? Shall we tell first of his orator's eloquence in the Debates or of his argumentative powers in class? Well, for the last two years Len has captained the successful debating teams which have won for us the permanent possession of a silver cup. Particularly brilliant have been his rebuttals on these memorable occasions. A glance at his scholastic record shows that he is also no poor student and in Geometry he fairly shincs. At other times he takes his debating ability into class and wc have heard some Fine arguments in English class. Len is also a football player and a brilliant writer, his essay on Armistice Day being the best of those written in the school. Leonard has decided to become a banker. showing that he really has personality and is not one of that indiscrimin'tte conglom- eration of individuals. Go to it, Leonard, say we, for some day we may wish to borrow a few thousand. VOLUME EIGHT il -7 ,..-- tfu.uu.ss BAKER Charlie Soul of tlir age.

His dramatic abilities have become well known. for he has taken part in practically every play the Thyrsus Club has given during the last three and a halt' years. Please note that we said three and a half years. and then draw your own conclusions. Charlie is a fast one. too. l'Jon't get excited. however. for what we are trying to say is that Charlie is quite :i runner. Charlie can dance as well as run and is quite popular with the ladies. lt is said that he shows extraor- dinary care in guarding his partner at dances and seldom or ever does he change a partner. Charlie is going to Brown in the fall. There we know he will succeed :url the best wishes of the class are with him. Enw our l-HEEHAN Eddie Him for Ihr' .vfudimix .rhode Kin-d riaturf formed.

She expects to enter the business world upon graduation, and we feel sure, with her earliest endeavor and cheery disposition, she will surely be a successful stenographer. THE CRANSTONIAN RICHARD J.

Boys' Athletic Association C13 C23 C33 C43 3 Thyrsus Club C23 C435 Class Treasurer C3A3 C4B33 Football Manager C433 Debate C435 Cramimzion Board C43. Here's to Dick, the youth who by uncovering his latent talent as an orator has simply swept us off our feet with astonished admiration! VVho would have thought, prior to March l7th. that this apparently timid youth had. concealed within him, the genius of an Anthony, a Cicero, or a Webster? And on the other hand. who is now willing to doubt it. after having heard him at the Debate and also in the hall in behalf of the C il'tlll.Yfl7llitIll .9 Not only are we proud of Dick for what he can and has done, but we admire him for what he is-quiet and unassuming, yet sincere, dependable. and a mighty Fine fellow. XVithout him the class of '22 would find itself with a social deficit, which would be hard to make up. As regards studies. Dick's name has never been read for an all 3A report card but we know he has the brains to do anything he wants to and we have no fear for him when he leaves Cranston. He is planning to join the fresh- men of R. l. State next fall and the very best wishes of old C. H. S. will be with him when his voice rings through the rafters at Kingston to the tune of lu good old United States. boys, let's go l H. f,iKANlflIil,l3 iiRAll3S Grannie But flmu CIl'lIItl'.Vf rfulonr, loo, mul wil.

Grannie has been with us only three years-would it had been more! Our Grannie is a most likable chap. very popular. with girls especially. His accomplishments? First: he is an actor. Remember the Thyrsus Club plays? Second: he is a star in linglish and Oral Expression. Third: he has a faculty for doing French fmirkly. The other day. he claimed he had tl0l1C six pages of French in ten minutes. Now that is morally wrong, because he can't read English that fast. Fourth: as an associate editor of this year's fiI'lIll.Vf0lll'tlll, he has displayed great ability and loyalty, and helped largely in the success of this book. lt is very likely that, after leaving us, he will study to be a Chiropractor, in which profession he will undoubtedly be most successful. l.n,I.u: Bnowx Lil utblllf' ix fvrctty fn walk reilh And witty to lull: with .ffnd plmstmt, lon, to think ou.

VVe don't know her as well as we should like to, because she has only been with us two years. Wherever you see Lil, you see Glad. I'm sure everyone remembers how they used to whisper and giggle up in the Millinery Class the fifth and sixth periods on Thurs- day. Lil's brown eyes just twinkle with fun. Her creditable work in the Commercial Course gives an indication of future success as a stenographer, which is her aim. Here's good luck. Lil !

He detests Physical Training and attends all athletic contests, but he is exceptional in that he conscientiously prepares his Physics lesson every day. with more or less success. l3uck's chief delight is in kicking the football around at lunch period. and the mania is so great that he would rather pass the ball than eat. Buck is one of the most interested supporters we have. and is a veritable mine of information for scores. averages, and positions. And among Mr. liosworth's A records the name Iiucknam is by no means last. Huck is uncertain as to the future, but he will never laek friends while a member of the class of '22 is alive. Carer M.

But his value does not li-- alone in his humor. You should hear him debate! XVords fail us when we try to describe him as he eloquently convinces judges and audience that his side of the argument is the right one. Words fail US, but he has an abundance of them, which he uses to good advantage in speech and rebuttal. Calef's favorite study is Chemistry, but his averages in Physics are certainly pleasing. and in Mathematics he does excellent work. K has success- fully completed the English Course and is headed for Brown.

Introducing Mr. Burdett. literary editor of this volume. The class chose wisely when they placed Clarence in his literary posi- tion. He eats it. VVhat a task is his to sort out the indiscrim- inate jumble of manuscripts. poems. etc.. handed him daily! Yet he always appears fresh and ready, Roy is one of the select few who do their Physics out of class. He has taken a straight course of Science anfl Mathematics--and this includes Review Algebra! But such davs are over. and when he isn't digging up data for English. he indulges in lnterclass Track meets for recreation.

VVe thought her small when she entered. but now we know that she's eapable of bigger things than she looks. She has shown herself a faithful worker. and we sit back and listen when Dot translates French. But Dot is not too studious to be human. for we have sometimes heard her say that she doesn't like Latin and Geometry. But who would ever guess it? We have missed Dot the past few months. for she is a February. '22, graduate. and so she has visited us only two periods a day. I5ot is liked by all because she is so pleasant and agreeable. and a friend of all. She hopes to enter Brown in the fall and we wish her the best of success.

Bill is a wit. His humor in Physics elass is gen! erally timely and is appreciated by all except Miss Kennedy. Then. too, Cummings has succeeded well in his studies, in spite of the fact that outside of school he puts much time and effort into chess, in which game he expects to rival Capablanca one of these days.

To be sure. Cute is an unassuming fellow. but perhaps that is the reason he has made so many friends at school. He can get all his studies with the exception of Ural Expression, which he thinks should he called O'er All Depression. Cute doesn't expect to go to college, but wherever he goes, we know his 'tfranknness and modesty will win him success. 4- VOLUME EIGHT Bi-:uNAiuv Dmis Bernie Naming is irllpomiblc to CI zuilling mimi.

Gentle reader, the fellow whose countenance you sec before you is Bernie! Bernie is quite an athlete. Football, track and baseball teams all claim him. His prowess as a pitcher has become well known, for in his junior year he pitched a 9-0 game against Classical, in which the visitors got only one hit. During the same year he pitched a 12-O victory for Cranston against another of her rivals. Bernie is also a singer and was a member of the quartette which sang Allouette in the hall one morning. Bernie is a hard worker Elllll we are sure that every- thing he attempts will prove successful, and so we have no fear that he will not be able to cope with the problems which he will meet with at the State College. ,losi-:PH Errol-:Nr: AL1-Hows:-1 DnI3i.o1s DeBl0is High erected thoughts seated in the licurt of m1o'tv.vy, Boys3Atl11letic Association C23 C33 C433 Thyrsus Club C23 C 3 C 3- Besides having a variety of good names, DeBlois has a variety of good qualities, which, indeed, can hardly he enu- merated in this writing.

Besides being proficient in English, DeBlois also amazes us now and again by his fluency in speaking French and his easy manner in translating, not only prepared lessons, but sight work as well.

Dan is always seen shambling about the corridors or rushing to his seat as the bell rings. Dan's prowess with the feebler sex is well known, for the girls just love to :lance with him. Dame Rumor says that Dinty has turned author and is now completing his first writing, entitled Ulilappers I Have Known. This work is ill ten volumes and will soon be on the market. Although Dinty has never dazzled anyone with his marks, he is completing his course without difficulty and expects to go to Holy Cross in the fall. We expect great things of you, Dinty. so go to it.

One look will tell you that she's full of fun and good natured. All our four years here we have found it a pleasure to talk with Biddy, especially when we're feeling blue. She knows how to cheer you up and make you happy. And what fair complexion and rosy cheeks! She's the envy of all the girls. Biddy has taken no active part in social activitiesg yet when- ever there is any merry making or even mischief on, we hear her merry laugh in the midst of it. Biddy is very much interested in kindergarten work, and since she graduated in February has been studying at the Rhode Island College of Education. We know she'll be successful as a teacher, for the children will love to study under her. AI!Bll'1 Ii Mlzizsox DYER Abbie Happi1n'ss c'0n.n'.vts in nt'lir'iIy.

Once Abbie visited Washington, D. C., and brought back volumes of infor- mation about that city. She doesn't believe in worrying over such little things as tests or studies.

Seldom, if ever, does she frown, and then only when some problem in geometry just won't work out right. But when lilinore reads her themes or debates, the whole class becomes as one attentive listener, and that is why we believe that Elinore's desire to become an authoress will soon be realized. Her sweet and sunny disposition attracts everyone's attention, making her one of the most popular girls in the class. At present she is attending the Rhode Island College of Education and we know that her attractive personality will win many friends for her there.

It is Hope who usually has the courage to stand and refute or add to the arguments of some enterprising boy in English. It is Hope who can End the hidden meanings in Milton. and more than once her bright ideas have helped us out. Peggy O'Neil has nothing on Hope, whosedanc- ing blue eyes are most distracting at times, as Don will testify. Sweet personality, full of rascality, pep and vivacity describes Hope rather lamely.

If we see Hopie coming through the corridor minus Dede, we all join the search, for we know she will never be happy till she has her arm around Dede once again. Her good-natured laugh has helped win her many friends, but don't think it's only her laugh that is so amiable. She's that through and through, sincere and a real pal. Hope has studied well and faithfully in her Commercial Course. but what's the use of playing on a typewriter, when you want to nurse sick folks?

Of course. you can see why everyone likes her so well. Dougie's favorite subject is Math. and she shows her interest in it by her good marks, VVould that some of the other girls had her mathematical mind when struggling through Algebra and Geometry. Be thankful, Ethel! Doug's always ready for a good time, probably like the Douglas of the movies. But Ethel was not destined for screen life. Her plan is to go to college and there she will probably specialize in Math., although she hasn't said so. If good wishes from ns will help you to succeed, Ethel, you'll do so!

Evelyn is a wee bit of a miss with a wee voice, but is she always so quiet? Well, no, she can make herself heard if she so desires. Although Miss Thompson says, Louder, please, Evelyn remains quite calm and makes a more successful effort to be heard.

Math. wasn't quite as easy for her but she showed her grit when she stuck that out, and won. Little Mil accomplished her course in the required number of years, and as she finished in February, is now continuing her studying in the Rhode Island College of Education. Perhaps in 1924 we may be able to peek into a little old red schoolhouse and catch a glimpse of Mildred instructing a class in readin', writin', or 'rithmetic. Here's luck to you, Mill GERTRL'Db2 Home JAcksoN Gert, Gertie, Peggy As full of szmsltine as a breeze. Girls' Athletic Association C15 C25 C35 C45 3 Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35 C455 Good English League C35. VVe mention Gertrude's name and immediately the thought comes to us that she has never had much trouble in passing successfully her four years of high school. She has been always willing to help anyone in need. She's generally quiet in school, hut if there is any fun to be had, Gertie's ready for it. We often wonder how she ever does all her studying so well and yet has time for the wonderful needle-work that a few chosen ones have been allowed to catch a glimpse of. She really should hold a public exhibition of it. just as she has been always willing to help unfortunates in school, some day soon she will be cooling s imeone's fevered brow. for Gertrude is planning to take up the gentle art of nursing, a11d if ever you should wish to see Peggy under some pretext or other, just call at the Homeopathic Hospital.

Ruth is studious, and naturally always knows her lessons. No one ever hears her com.plain of any unfinished lessons, for a very good reason: she always has them done! She's very quiet hut has a smile for everyone and is always ready to help anyone with lessons, especially with Virgil, that study dreaded hy most laboring students, but seemingly very simple and easy to Ruth. But Ruth doesn't spend all her time studying, we know, because she was i11 the Minstrel Show this last year and helped the cause along. Those who are going to Brown next year will probably see her there, as that is where she intends to go the next four years of her life. Don't forget us of C. H. S., Ruth!

How very appropriately this quotation applies to Dot! If you hear a rather stifled giggle somewhere in the building, you go to the corner whence it came, and there is Dot Jordan. In fact, I think she likes giggling better than school work. She is a dandy sport, as all who know her will admit. She doesn't rave in favor of Geometry, but she has stuck it out! We believe she has set Brown as her next step in the educa- tional line, and she can't help getting there and having as many friends there as she has at Cranston. Good luck to you at Brown, Dot, and remember the man worth while is the man who can smile when everything goes dead wrong!

Girls' Athletic Association C15 C25 C35 C45, Secretary C25, Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35 C453 Orchestra C15, Good Eng- lish League C35. A mischievous miss is Betty, with her laughing blue eyes and jocund air. If there is a stir, a giggle and then subdued laughter, and Betty is around, there is no need to look further for the cause. Always in fun and seldom in trouble, or if Betty is in trouble there are few to hear of it, but a good pal who is always ready to help someone else. Our Betty is usually the fairy or butterfly in the plays, for what girl is so dainty and petite as she? In fact, it used to bother Betty just a little, to be so small, but we find that she has decided to forget it. It would be a terrible shock to find that Betty was stretching out and we were losing la petite fille. Betty is heading for Sim- mons and you may be sure we will miss her, for we have found that good things come in small packagesul FRANK VIALL KIMBALL Frankie, Kibbie Hr has an oar in vwryoneir boat and a finger in every pie.

A. for the last four years, for has he not had something to do about the Minstrel Shows every year except the first? As Business Manager for three years, Frank has proved himself as one possessed with great executive ability. Much of the suc- cess of the shows is clue to his hard work. However, Kibbie has not confined his hard work to the shows, but football, debating and the Thyrsus Club have had their share of his atten- tion. I must not forget to mention the fact that Frankie is extremely fond of P. T. Ask him for particulars. One of the many things that Frank is always complaining about is that there have been no afternoon dances equal to those of last year. Frank intends to enter Brown in the fall and besides making many friends there we know that, as usual, he will have a nnger in every pie.

About two years ago there came to us from the Hourishing town of Bridgeport, a comely youth possessing the appellation of Albert Mugford. These two short years, however, have been sufficient for AI to make a great many friends at Cran- ston. Muggie cares not for athletics except as he has held the position of assistant manager of the football team. but he CAN sing CF9. At first sight one would naturally suppose Al to be rather bashful, but do not fear, girls--he is harmless and quite likable in a very few minutes. Al is another one who aspires to enter the Kingston portals and we know that both masculine and feminine admirers will send their good wishes with him on his weary way.

Miss Madelyn Powers, commonly known as Madge. She is one of the best known and most popular girls in our class. VVhen it comes to planning dances, choosing favors, or designing costumes, Madelyn is a peach. Then, too, Madge has done almost all of the typewriting for this year's C'rm1.vfouii1u. Her fidelity and school spirit will surely be greatly missed.

Her popularity is an established fact among the girls-not to mention the boys. The typewriter must have its charms for Helen, as she chose the Commercial Course, which she successfully completed. Often she has received certificates in the hall for her fine work in typewriting. Oh, that we might all be such typists! Here's a bet ten to one. VVhen Helen applies for a position as some- one's private secretary, if every place is taken, we contend that as soon as Helen is seen that someone will have a new secretary.

He seldom makes his presence felt in class room hy anv boisterousness. However. in Physical Training there is no limit to bis versatility. In fact, l believe Al uses his arms a little too vigorously, thereby endangering the lives of some of the little tots near him. Al always has some brilliant remark in class. although his pack of hooks, which he takes home nightly, seems smaller than the average pack. He is also quite a hero with the ladies, hut that does not in any way hinder his good work in school, even though he may blush when approached in regard to Haffaires de coeur. Keep up your good work in business as you have in school, and we are sure that success will be yours in life.

Behold Smithie, the most distinguished individual in the Scnior class! just glance over his list of accomplishments! Not only is he a cracker-jack debater and editor-in-chief of this illustrious volume, but as a math shark he rivals Euclid alone, as Miss Richmond will tell you. As a matter of fact, he is a star in all his subjects and his apparently inexhaustible store of knowledge often makes Freedman and Beehan squirm with envy. He is another of that predominating quiet sort of person. Until his Senior year any meek little Freshman would have been unable to tell you who Elmer Smith was. Yet now all you would have to do would be to speak the magic word and out would come the above list of activities like a tune out of a hand-organ. VVell, Smithie, that year was sufficient to win for you the love and respect, not only of your own class, but of the school as well, and when you continue your meteoric career at Brown. our sincere good will will go with you, and the friends you made at Cranston will all be wishing you the best of luck.

Baseball appears to be his fate, and football second in orderg then, too, he is strong in hockey. But his interest in athletics is not only in the Field. for he was in three minstrel shows, gaining position of endman thc last time. Furthermore, in his connection with athletics, he has held important ofhcial positions. But Bill is by no means a one- sided man. He belonged to the Thyrsus Club and the Scientific Society. And further. he's quite a lady's man. His winning smile gets them! We conclude from the fact that Bill has taken the commercial course that he is going into business life. VVell. if he plays business as he plays baseball, we will hear more of him in the future, as a manufacturer or bank president.

Heres to our good friend Dave. VVhen he First entered Cranston he was bashful and quite escaped the notice of most ol us. However, times have wrought great changes in Dave and now he is known throughout the school for his excellent piano- playing. Although it is not generally known, he likes to have Saturday night dances at his home. ln school, Dave has, by diligent work, amassed enough points to graduate two pupils instead of one. As for athletics. Dave has no personal inter- est in them. although he is a loyal supporter of all the teams and is usually seen at every game, Stackie has set Harvard as his goal and we are sure that the good wishes of all his former classmates will accompany him to the Crimson Campus.

Doesn't everybody agree that the class of 1922 was blessed when the fates decreed that Dotty should be one of us? She has gained popularity with her enchanting giggles. Did you notice her middle name? She is just what it implies and it might well be added here that her middle initial could stand for her deep dimples that are ever present in her rosy cheeks. Dot is an all-round sport. She plays tennis, basketball, and loves to dance. She also drums, plays both piano and guitar, making either snappy or syncopated music. Isn't that a list of accom- plishments to be envied? She studies. too, at least. she always has her lessons done well, and next year she is planning to go to the Rhode lsland College of Education to discover how to infuse learning into the minds of small children.

However. she has passed successfully the four years of the Commercial Course. VVe do not know when she studies. for she always comes in the morning with nothing done, and is talking with Glad every spare moment in the corridorg yet she manages to get her lessons done for reci- tations. VVe are sure she will be successful in business and we all wish her the best of luck. THE CRANSTONIAN Mmmerzim CATHPLRINI-1 WADE Millie The pink of fm'fvction.

XVe are only sorry that a neighboring high school should have claimed her for three years out of four. Mildred's sense of humor and her sunny disposition are always in evidence. Indeed, she has been the silver lining of many clouds. Her good points are numerous, and chief among them is her record as a student. We do not need to wish her success: we can only envy the office that claims her. CLAUIJLNE Wimroun Estes Claudia Vitae.

Studious is an adjective which just naturally fits Claudine. For three years she has been a bright light in our classes. Many a day she has come to Miss Holt's rescue and cheered her by a per- fect recitation in Latin. Studies are not the only things in which Claudine excels. Those of us who heard her recital in the fall were surprised and pleased by her unusual piano playing. Once or twice, mod- est Claudine has consented to play in the hall, a second Rach- maninotf, we'll sayl Why, her Fingers run up and down the keys like fairies, so light a touch has she.

That's all there is to it, when Edie says those four words. Edith is the most care-free and jovial girl in our class. Care-free enough to be good company, with enough stability to keep her reputation as a good student. Can she dance? VVhat a foolish question! VVhy she is one of those who makes the afternoon dances so snappy 7 and another thing, if she is'as popular with the boys as she is with the girls, she's never been a wall flower. VVe are not sure what Edie expects to dv, but as she has suc- cessfully completed the commercial course, it is very likely that she will be some lucky fellaW's stenographer. We are sure she is headed for a line position, if the many certificates for etiiciency in typewriting which she has been awarded have anything to do with it. Keep it up, Edith, you're doing fine.

She's always happy and ready for fun, and we never hear her complain. How we like to stop to talk with her in the corridors! She always has something interesting to tell us, and has the ability to tell uninteresting things in a most inter- esting and amusing way: hence her many friends. Elizabeth is very fond of books, and we sometimes wonder if she will not become a great librarian. As to her ability as librarian, who hasn't seen her in the library the fourth period?

Some of us selected this course because we would be obliged to attend school two years only, but now that we are about to leave this building where we have formed new friendships with fellow students and teachers, we wish that we had felt more ambitious two years ago. Cf course being a mod- el class Cask any of our teacherslj most of us are ambitious enough to re- main here two years longerg but unfor- tunately. in some instances circum- stances prevent us from realizing our desires. Being here but two years. we do not shine in all the school activities, but some of our members belong to the Athletic Association, and others to the Thyrsus Club.

They go out as entertainers, Donahue is dancer and comedian, Doris Davenport dances with him. reads. sings, and plays her violin. and Doris Baldwin plays the piano. VVhat a line arrangement! ex- claimed Dorothy. Doris Davenport was in one of the Thyrsus Club plays, in the minstrel shows, and in the or- chestra back at school. Doris Baldwin played for many of our entertainments and Donahue was our class wit. Then, liking dancing as they do, it is a rather logical occupation for them, isn't it? Donahue was a football star and track 'Champf too. Our class had a great many ath- letes. Gordon Andrews was fullback on the football sfsuad, pitcher in the baseball team. and manager of our pen- nant-winning hockcv teams. I hear that he is starring in athletics.

The pro- gram, under the direction of Miss Car- penter. had been suggested to the 4ll English Class as a pleasant way to complete the study of the short story, and at the same time serve the school, ten cents being the admission fee. The auditorium was filled with eager spectators, who became enthusiastic when they saw that Mr. Davis and the school orchestra were present. Charles Baker wittily introduced the numbers of the program. First. a sketch of O. Henry's life was read by Edith Pine. who told many interesting incidents about the writer. Two short plays were then given from stories by O. Henry. dramatized by girls of the class. ln the first play. The Gift of the Magi. the scene opened in the shabby fiat of Mr. and Mrs. Dillingham. The storv tells how the wife. wishing to get her husband a Christmas present, sells her beautiful hair and buys him a watch chain. while he meantime sells his watch to buy his wife some gold side-combs. The great affection cach displavs for the other softens their disappointment at finding that the gifts have been rendered use- less. Doris Davenport played the part of Mrs Dillingham and Daniel Dona- hue that of 'lim Ilillingham. both with great sincerity of feeling. Between the two plays. Dorothy Hampson danced gracefully the Sphinx Waltzf' She responded to the applause which followed bv danc- ing to the music of Humoresque. As the curtain rose on the second play, an amusing dramatization of By Courier, the audience was surprised at the clever transformation of the stage. To Miss Thompson must be given the credit for the unusually beau- tiful and realistic park setting made of green cambric and two logs from the fireplace. The cast consisted of Mil- dred Fisher, a young lady. Andrew McNamara. a young man, and Harold Morris, a newspaper boy. The courier was kept busy carrying messages be- tween the lovers. translated into Bow- ery slang. The Dance of the Imps was funny. XVith faces printed on pillow cases. coats reaching to their shoe-tops, and umbrellas through their coat sleeves for arms. Dorothy Hampson and Amie lVise cut strange figures and filled the audience with curiosity and delight. .Nfter the program we had a good time dancing to music furnished bv our talented Mr. Davis. Doris Baldwin. and Barbara Mitchell. Between dances. chocolate was sold by the History Classes for the beneht of the Library. r- Loretta Stevens, '23 VOLUME EIGHT 47 Haulting Rmhitinn Theodore Martin had constitutional inertia. lle always had had it. XVhat- ever interest he had was completely self-centered. And it was not without reason that he was as he was. He had never had to do any work of any kind 2 he did very nearly as he pleased.. He had always had plenty of money with- out working for it, for his father was well off, financially. Theodore's fa- ther sent him to public school, for he said he wished his son to be democratic. Theodore went through grade school without any trouble. and was the envy of all his fellow-students. who thought his life of ease and leisure must be a happy one. And he was very content. .Nt the age of fifteen Theodore en- tered High School at Springfield, where he lived, to prepare for college. His school work was good. for he was capable, and he got by without anv out- side studying He exerted himself only to the extent of getting a grade that would allow him to enter college with- out examinations. He had the ability to lead the class, but no ambition to do so. For three years his High School life was about the same He took no inter- est in athletics. either in taking part or in attending games and meets. In fact. he was not interested in any school ac- tivity. As to his attitude towards his fellow-students, he did not withdraw from them in any way to suggest that he thought himself anv better than thev. for he did not think so. He was amiable enough, but not reallv intimate with anyone. His main desire was to ride around in his Stutz roadster, in which he spent the majority of his lei- sure time. of which he had consider- able. ln 'l'heodore's Senior year She entered his life. She was Bessie Palmer. a Senior at the High School. She was the first girl that Theodore had ever felt any interest in. But he certainly was interested in her. He even went so far as to put himself out sometimes for her. He went to dances with her, and exerted himself to the point of dancing, a form of exercise that he summed up as Hot work! To please her, he took walks and stopped smoking. The young lady took a big risk of losing him when she de- manded that he cease to smoke, but as some wiser man has said, What will not woman. gentle woman, dare ? Of course he called on her. And one evening when they were talking about -well, the weather, she happened to mention that she had a hobby. He was interested and wanted to know all about it. She brought a note-book and explained, Every time I see my name in the newspaper or the school-paper I cut it out, just the name, you see, and paste it in this note-book. Some of those are from the newspaper for,- well.-like when I went to Florida two summers ago, the paper printed it when I went and when I came back. -And some are from the school-paper for school activities. Theodore C she called him T eddy, al- though no one else ever didj pondered deeply on this hobby of Bessie's after he retired that evening. VVhen he awoke the next morning, he had an ambition. This was to see his name 48 THE CRANSTONIAN printed in the school-paper. He looked through a copy of this paper, which appeared every two months, and per- ceived that the captains and stars of the teams were mentioned, as well as the excellent students and the officers of the organizations. in fact, all the school leaders. His decision was irrev- ocably taken that his name should ap- pear in print. Another edition -of the school-paper was to appear in seven weeks, and in it his name must appear. To the amazement and dismay of Springfield High School, Theodore Martin appeared for football practice. He joined the societies, secret and oth- erwise. He wrote pieces for the school paper. which, if accepted, would appear with his name at the end. He aston-- ished his instructors by endeavoring to lead his classes. He was working to place himself in the eyes of the school for publication. For seven weeks Theodore lived a life of toil. Then the paper was pub- lished. The evening he received it, he began to read it from cover to cover. He quickly saw that none of his themes had been accepted. On and on he read. till finally COh, joylj he found what he was looking for. On the last page was a column called, Brief and Per- sonal. And, lo. at the bottom of the page were the words, On Friday. the thirteenth, Theodore Martin sat down upon a dish of ice-cream in the lunch- room. much to the delight of the Fresh- men. The next day Theodore had his les- sons but half prepared and did not ap- pear at football practice. but was seen riding about in his machine. His am- bition was realized. He had seen his name in print. - H Granjeld Braids, '22 Main iEi'fnrta l sit down at my desk and say, A poem I'm going to write. l think and think and think and think. But nothing heaves in sight.

The hall, at- tractively decorated in red, white, and blue for the occasion and filled with gaily dressed merry-makers, made a brilliant spectacle. There were representatives from many types of American life. from for- eign lands, and from stories of romance. Stately colonial dames and demure. old-fashioned girls sauntered among jovial yama-yama girls. Pierrot and Pierrette whisked by on tip-toe. Dark- eyed Spanish senors and seioritas mingled among the guests and Chinese maidens tottered in and out. A little girl fthough it was time for her to be in bedl played about with her dolly and a little boy. A bonnie Scottish lad and lassie came in native costume. Tam-topped artists, bell-hops, and waitresses all put aside their work for the evening. Ultra-modern bathing girls and Hawaiian dancers called Southern seas to our minds. Sturdy soldiers and sailors were there to pro- tect us from the bold pirate. Dutch and Turkish girls, swarthy Italians. and gay gypsies were scattered about, while rubes gazed open-eyed at all that was going on, and a fairy queen cast about her a spell of happiness. Even the Sheik of Araby risked taking cold by changing climates in order to be present. T The grand march began at half-past eight and was followed by dano-ing. The affair was so jolly that D'Artagnan failed to light a duel all the evening! The music, which was furnished by a splendid orchestra and made you feel like dancing every minute, the ice cream and' punch. the festoons, and the little pots of flowers and souvenir pins given as favors added to the enjoyment of the party. Everyone was sorry when the strains of Good-'Night, La- dies were heard at eleven o'clock and the masquerade was over. - Mildred Fisher f I A.

During the First period of each morning of the week beginning November 7th, appropriate exercises were held in the hall. On Monday, twenty-six Freshmen took part in a recitation called The Alphabet of Errors. Each pupil held one letter of the alphabet, and, in a four-line stanza, impressed upon our minds the baneful effects of certain slovenly English words or phrases. Tuesday morning, a group of Soph- omores presented an original sketch, From Manuscript to Newspaper, which informed us concerning the de- velopment ot printing. and which pointed out the great advantages re- ceived from such an art. The cast was as follows: FROM h'lANUSCRIPT 'ro NEWSl'APER,, VVritten by Frances Curley Introduction Esther Thomas Clmracfers Albert ............... Earl Madison Beth .... .........

The three essays judged to be the best were read in the hall on Friday by Leonard Bailey, James Benson, and Thelma Ur- quhart. During the week most of the pupils took advantage of a collection of books which had been placed in the library, and read at least one book about the war. Furthermore, numerous Good English posters and slogans were in sight throughout the rooms and corri- dors. Each year that American Speech VVeek has been observed at Cranston, it has afforded the pupils much pleasure. VVe sincerely hope that it will be con- tinued each year. - joseph Freedman SGP RES Sfnphnmure Guaaip Time-2 :30, any school day in 1922. Place-Main Corridor of C. H. S.

M Milton Patierson lFreshmrm JBI VOLUME EIGHT 57 01112 Nach nf a One thing that Cranston High School has failed to do for its pupils during its years of progressiveness in many other lines, is to designate a part of the building for a gymnasium. One who is interested in this project finds, upon investigation, that the best high schools throughout our country are equipped with large gymnasiums. Such a building would strengthen the morale of the students. At present it is not possible for every pupil to take enough of the right kind of exercise in the proper way. With the exception of a very few, the only ones who do take the right kind are those who take part in the various athletic activities. A gymnasium would benefit every pupil in Gymnasium the proper way by requiring exercises demanding skill and alertness, which would train the mind and body to act as one. Faculty and students have frequently expressed themselves as being highly in favor of such a building. Mr. Fenner and Mr. Bosworth believe that a gym- nasium is the very next thing that we ought to install in our school 3 that we have needed one for a long time and that we need it now more than ever. As there is no convenient place in the present building for a gymnasium, they would suggest that an addition be built at the rear of the school. The present hall is already too small to accommo- date comfortably the number of stu- 'l'0 ATH LETIC, FIELD A ff' xiii ,f Il 1' ll REAR ENrRANcs lPRoPosEnA0m'roawM ll Il AND armmsnum Ii - I' s I1 I, I II I '---Eu1-RAnces-- SIDE -- PRESENT ,9Uu,DIN6f ENTRAN4: sin: Em-amos MAIN ENT RANC E. HAROLD lllokk I5 58- THE CRANSTONIAN dents who are enrolledg so the upper part of the proposed addition could be used as an auditorium, while the lower part would make an ideal gymnasium. The hall in the old building could be used as class rooms, thereby relieving congested conditions in the rooms. The foregoing diagram is the ground plan for such an addition as could be built in the rear of the present building. If these plans are to become realities. there must be some means of obtaining money to make them so. The most likely way is by popular subscription. The people in our city have subscribed to all kinds of foreign reliefs. VVhy should charity not continue at home and for home? Another way would be by giving entertainments. This form of subscribing is sure to reach a good many who believe in getting something for their money. A third method might be that of receiving donations from friends. There are always many old- timers who do not forget the old school, and who make an appearance at intervals, giving donations of one sort or another, Let us hope that in the near future we may be able to further our plans by obtaining enough money from one or all of the suggested ways and that our high school may have a gymnasium of which each student and each old- timeru may be proud. - Harold Morris, 22 L4 4 1 VOLUME EIGHT 59 A is for Albert. so full of conceit, It well nigh approaches the size of his feet, B is for Beehang you all know his brothers g His chief occupation is thinking for others.

So very wide-awake! That's the Girls' Ath- letic Association! Early last fall the Association held a meeting for the election of officers, which resulted in the following: Presi- dent, Marjorie Forsythg Vice-Presi- dent, Loraine Pinneyg Secretary. Ger- trude Potterg Treasurer, Mrs. john- son. XVe didn't waste any time, but right then and there, when the spirit was so alive, appointed committees for hikes and socials. All those who have attended the socials and gone on the hikes, realize that the members of these committees deserve much credit. More than ever before, the Association has tried its very best to reach every girl. and I think we have made a splendid start. At different times we have made gifts of books, magazines, and news- papers to the Library, besides giving to the Cranston VVelfare League. As head collector of the dues, Dor- othy Towne has shown herself a ca- pable and earnest worker. XYe set out to beat the boys in the percentage of girls enrolled in the Association, and we did! There's an example of our efficiency! The basketball team has been men- tioned elsewhere. XVe hope soon to have a tennis committee to work with a similar committee from the Boys' Ath- letic Association, and we believe that many will play when the court is ready. More socials are planned for the next two months, and in june we shall give a festival that will surpass all others of former years. Un hearing that Mrs. Johnson was going to leave us at the beginning of the Easter vacation, we decided to pre- sent her with a silver loving cup. in token of our regret at her leaving. On Friday afternoon, April 7, the presi- dent presented the cup. It surely was appreciated, and we hope that every time she looks at it. she will feel the spirit of sincere affection that we felt when we presented it to her. Every girl in the school should feel it her duty to belong to the G. A. A. a11d be willing to work and uphold the honors it has gained. It makes for health as well as for fun: and on the lists of its members should be the name of every single girl in Cranston High School.

Drop all athletics from the student activities and you have dropped the vivacity and spirit of the school. Quality, not quan- tity, is what is desirable. Therefore, increase the quality of athletics and you will increase the school spirit propor- tionally. The work of the Association is not as broad as it might be, but it is as broad as it can be with the amount of material it has on hand. As this book goes to press, plans are being made to erect a heavy wire backstop for the ten- nis court and to secure the services of a track coach. This is advancement. It is for you lower classmen to con- tinue it in the coming years. Go out for the teams. You've got just as much chance as the other fellow. just a word to you Freshmen and Soph- omores. Don't think the upper class- men are going to laugh at you if you go out for a team. They may kid you a little, but they think more of you because you've got pluck and courage, and that is what counts. And so as the year 1921-22 draws to a close, let us resolve that this year shall be a start and that each coming year shall be better than the preceding OHS. - Frank Kimball J M - a'.' ' r.

The first half was scoreless, but in the last few minutes of play in the second half, a Cranston man caged the puck. giving us a l-O victory. The hockey season of 1922 was a most successful one for Cranston. The team won eight games and played one tie. Not one goal was scored against the team during the entire season. Much credit is due Captain Swanson for the fine manner in which he handled the players, considering the fact that he had as a nucleus around which to huild a team hut three regulars from 1021. Soon after the final game, Swanson was re-elected captain for the coming season. and since this year's team will remain intact for the V923 season, we are looking forward to another hockey pennant. - Edward Beehan, '22 THE CRANSTONIAN iliaaehall Efearu I'r11 ll 11 K1-:1.1.Y FA1.1.11N Mk. l31111:1zs S1'1sNc'121z BIUNROE 'l'uvv11:11 C1AN1'1 H.'XRRlN4i1'llh C'0411'l1 C'm1z'l1 ,1llHIlIfll'I' 1111,1m MQNA 11.111111 .'xxBR.XN1SON 151111112 Ii. l31aE11AN 'IRNN1-111 Mow1:1cAx' liE121f12 Hc1U1a1z1c'1' I.

Out of a total of fifteen games, the team won eleven, including two victories over East Providence, one over Pawtucket, and one over XVoon- socket. XVith but two of last year's men missing, the outlook for 1921 was bright. We were very fortunate in se- curing as coach Mr. William Fallon, well known in baseball circles through- out the state, who kindly offered his services free, thus enabling the school to furnish the team with suits. A fter a few weeks of strenuous prac- tice, the opening game was played with linglish at liucklin Park. The game, which turned out to be a veritable slug- ging match, was won by Cranston by the score of 24 to 4. On the following Friday, Cranston defeated Classical, 9 to 3, and followed up this victory with another over our ancient rivals. lfast Providence. On April 29th, the team played Hope and carried off a 20 to 11 victory. Next, XX'oonsocket, our near- est rivals for the pennant, was de- feated 6 to 5. ln the following game the team continued its good work and administered an 11 to 0 defeat to XYest Warwick. Kelley. pitching his last game for Cranston, gave a fine exhibi- tion, allowing but one hit, which came in the ninth inning. XYe received our first defeat of the season at the hands of Pawtucket, on account of the inabil- ity to hit at critical moments. On May 7th, English came to our field and was defeated, 7 to 6, after ten innings of fast baseball. After this victory. the team slumped somewhat, with the result that it was defeated by lflope in a listless game. On May Zlst the school was given a half holiday, in which almost the entire student body went to Xkfoonsocket to witness a game that was to decide the winner of the pennant. Unfortunately, we were out- played by our opponents. and lost 8 to 2. The final defeat of the season was administered by VVest VVarwick. As was the case in former games, our team was unable to hit with men on bases. Smarting under these three consecu- tive defeats, the team braced up, beat- ing Pawtucket. 2 to 1, and easily de- feating East Providence, 6 to 3. Taking into consideration the eleven victories and four defeats, we believe that this year's team was the best ever turned out by Cranston lligh School. Great credit is due Coach Fallon for his tireless efforts in producing a team that hnished second in the league stand- ing. Although five regulars will be lost by graduation, the prospects for a sux'- cessful 1922 season are promising. If the squad continues to display the same brand of baseball that it has been show- ing in the hrst few weeks of practice, the chances for Cranston's holding a high place on the baseball pedestal are encouraging.

A O -II FMEA LAJIFIN 1921 With twelve of last year's letter men missing, the football outlook for 1921 was not very encouraging. Soon after the opening of school, the coach callefl practice and a large squad reported. The coach succeeded in building up a fairly good team, with the six letter men from last year as a nucleus, but throughout the season, the team was handicapped by numerous injuries. ln the opening game with East Providence on our home field. the team put up a hitter struggle. but was de- feated 34-O. The following week, Cranston was defeated by XYoonsocket 32-0. Humiliated twice, we entered the next game with lYest XYarwick de- termined to win. From the beginning to the final whistle our goal was never threatened by the opponents, and but for numerous penalties. the score would have been larger than 7-0. Un- fortunately. a reversal of form fol- lowed this victory, and we were de- feated in the next two games by NYar- wick and Hope. .X week after the Hope game. the team traveled to Slater Park, and in one of the best games of the season held Pawtucket to the low score of 8-3. In the following game we defeated Warwick 12-7. In the Hnal game of the year, we met Classical on our home field. llere again. as in the 1Yest Warwick game, we showed our superiority over the visitors. Clas- sical was completely baffled by our overhead attackg and after three pe- riods of interesting football, Spencer picked a forward pass out of the air and crossed the goal line, giving us a victory of 6-0. Considering the fact that the coach had to build up a team from green ma- terial, we may well consider the foot- ball season of 1021 a success. inasmuch as we succeeded in winning three games. Much credit is due the student body which supported the team well. The chances of winning the pennant the coming season are bright, as but very few men will be lost by gradua- tion. - Edward Beehan, '22 THE CRANSTONIAN I rack 1 sam l.

Do you enjoy dancing? Do you like to argue? Then join the Thyrsus Club. for that is the social and dramatic society of the school. Every member thoroughly en- joys himself. Thus far this year the club has given two very successful aft- ernoon dances at which the orchestra was excellent and the attendance larger than ever before. The dances were so enjoyed that innumerable requests for more have been made. Consequently. the club has made plans for a spring dance which will take place soon. Un- fortunately, this year we were not able to hold our annual New Year's Five dance. as it had been omitted from the year's social calendar. This deprived the Freshmen and Sophomores of the only evening dance to which they have equal admittance with the juniors and Seniors. All the members of the club are hoping that next year this dance will be provided for. The Thyrsus Club, as is customary. had charge of the Christmas party. The Gifts VVe Bring, a pageant of the Christmas Spirit, was presented to the school. Then Santa Claus, who managed to reach us in his high-pow- ered runabout, although it was several days before Christmas, brought gifts to all the faculty and to each student, 1 Cx t F-anta's car amused us greatly. espe- cially the Freshies, who stood upon their seats in their excitement and eag- erness to see the new speed model. This year. after much discussion, the members of the club again decided to present three one-act plays to the pub- lic rather than one long play. The fol- lowing plays were selected: a transla- tion of Rostand's The Romancersng The Hishop's Candlesticks, a dram- atization of an incident in Victor Ilugo's Les Miserables 1 and XYhere but in America ? a farce dealing with the servant problem. Three one-act plays offer opportunity to a larger number of participants and also for more varied types of individual acting. The Romancersn tells a fanciful love story. NVhere but in America? re- quires a Swedish dialect. And The Bishop's Candlesticks gives opportu- nity for exceptional dramatic power. This year the club was again fortunate in obtaining Miss Adelaide Patterson of the Rhode Island College of Educa- tion as coach. The members of the club are divided into two groups, the general and the dramatic. This year there are 263 members, showing a steady increase in membership over that of previous z llilfsa .

Recall the meeting for the e'ection of officers when on the first ballot there was a tie for President and Vice- President? It took consider- able plotting both inside of Room 17 and outside to break that deadlock. .Xn'l again the meeting when we were told that the evening dance had been omitted from the social calendar. The disappointment of the Sophomores and Freshmen as manifested by Gertrude Potters wails. and the peevishness of the Juniors and Seniors, who had as their spokesman a diminutive figure just bursting with rage, Betty Kane. made memorable another regular meet- ing and even necessitated a special meeting before broken hearts were mended and damaged dispositions re- stored to normal. The members of the Thyrsus Club and of the Cranston High School are grateful to Miss Towne, who founded this organization, and to Miss Holt. who gives so generously of her time and ability to make it a source of both pleasure and profit to individual pupils and to the school in general.

Ellie Qlranatun-itiaat lirnnihenre Debate lt was the evening of Saint Patrick's Day. Do we need to say more? There was but one possible outcome of the debate when all the world wore green. The debate took place at East Provi- dence High School. A large crowd of grauates helped to swell the ranks of the students and faculty of the Green and XVhite. Nearly one-half of the au- dience that filled the hall were support- ers of the affirmative team. Seldom has such a large number of the Cran- ston student body accompanied the teams to another city. The subject was, Resolved: That the members of the Presidents cabinet shall have seats in both Houses of Con- gress without the right to vote, but with the right to participate in debate and subject to being questioned on matters connected with their respective depart- ments. Cranston had the affirmative side of the question and was repre- sented by Leonard Bailey CCaptainj. Calef Burbank, Richard Borden. and Elmer Smith CAlternateJ. The speeches of our team were written in simple. direct language and their facts presented with force. The judges aft- erward said that when the direct speeches were finished, the decision was very much in doubt,-that Cran- ston had the advantage of smoother speeches, but East Providence had the more eloquent speakers. The debate was won and lost in the rebuttals. Things may have been even in the di- rect speeches, but when it came to the rebuttals. our team showed the careful training that they had received from their coach, Mr. S. P. Wlorkman. Their rebuttals were extemporaneous and gave evidence that the affirmative team had a thorough knowledge of both sides of the question and also that they were masters of themselves. The arguments of the negative team were clearly and concisely refuted, and when Bailey fin- ished his eloquent appeal, it was evi- dent who should capture the trophy. After a short intermission, the three judges, Mr. Ira L. Letts, Mr. Charles Edwards. and Mr. James V. Gibbons, sent their votes to the Chairman with out consulting together. Two to one in favor of Cranstonf' were the words of the Chairman. And then-well, you know what hap- pened, whether you heard it or not. Maybe you were lucky if you didn't hear it. YIYJLUMEEIGHT Q I 83 Several weeks later the cup was pre- sented to the school by Captain Bailey. In his presentation speech, he related how Cranston won the first leg of the cup, and how a year later East Provi- dence called at Cranston and borrowed the trophy. He gave East Providence due credit for returning the cup when their year's lease had expired. The same morning, letters were presented to til the four members of the team. Today this league cup stands in the library, a permanent reminder to the students of these members of the teams of '20 and '22, To the care of the fu- ture students of Cranston this trophy is left with the good wishes of the team of '22, XVENTWORTH Mixssnc, '25. - -..null ,lrtlr 1 2 :lx 84 THE CRANSTONIAN Q9ur iliihrary Time was when our library was just a small place on the second floor, where Room l7 is now. However, during the last two years it has flourished exces- sively, until at present in its place on the First floor, we have a large, pleasant room, filled with useful hooks. Under Miss L'arpenter's careful guidance, the library has come to differ from other less attractive libraries. lt has been beautified by plants on the window-sills, the pleasant aspect of which is equalled only by that of our silver cups. the winged Hermes. the victrola, and, most of all, perhaps, lay the sight of students peacefully study- ing in that tranquil atmosphere. To a visitor appearing for the first time at our doors, a glance at that well-kept room gives the impression of calmness and industry. lformerly, the library contained so few hooks that there was hut little ma- terial for reference work. Since Sep- temher, 1920. hooks have continually been added, both for recreational and VOLUME EIGHT Q5 reference reading. Outside friends, teachers, classes, the Thyrsus Club, the Athletic Associations, and individual pupils have all generously contributed books, magazines, pictures, and news- papers. Together with these gifts, the money earned by the play given for the benefit of the library by Miss Carpen- ter's former 3A English class, and that earned by the successful sale of choc- olate bars, has enabled us to double the number of volumes in the library in 1920. Now, in order to accommodate more pupils, we need more tables with chairs to Ht them. and equipment for the classifying and cataloguing of the books. Xlle also need many more books. At present, we have 1,000, although 3,000 is the minimum number regarded as essential by the National Education Association for a school of the small- est size. The fact that our library was founded by the Alumni of the school, who dedicated it to the memory of a much beloved friend, Mr. Valentine Almy, will always make it an object of interest to the early Alumni, Perhaps those who came afterwards will find it so because of what they helped to do for it when students of the school, and we who are now enjoying its advan- tages want to do our share in helping to make it so good that all the citizens of Cranston may be proud of it. - Dorothy Hampson f-Z pyimwx-. lt, t NgmQ, - 5 Qs -1' 4 1 A if? 1 mx 2942314 if f ull -5 Fljh. 86 THE CRANSTONIAN Elhv Hlimittrl 151111111 l'n4ler Nlr. l3elsey's ahle direction, the lioys' .Xthletic .Xssociation again presenterl a Klinstrel Show this year which surpassecl any similar production ever given hy them. lt was early cle- ciflerl to run the show two nights ancl the hig event was hoomecl hy nearly thirty posters anrl hy a nocturnal pa- ratle ahout the streets of fyuhurn anrl lfflgewoorl, XYith snch amlvertising it was not snrprising that all tickets were solfl he-tore lfriclay and many were tnrnetl away clisappointecl.

Four games played already, and I haven't even touched the ball, let alone hitting it over the fence. I guess Bradford Univer- sity will get that 35,000 easy enoughf' So spoke a sandy-haired youth dressed in a baseball uniform, on the breast of which was a large Y, which signified that he was a member of the Yale Varsity nine. Something was worrying Dick Adams, for he looked dejected as he leaned against a corner of the athletic house. VVell, Dick, don't give up yet. We meet Bradford tomorrow. Maybe you'll hit six or seven homers then, spoke up his chum, ,lack Meredith, in his attempt to cheer up Dick. I guess that there isn't much chance, Jack, since four games have been played, and I haven't even had a bunt. You know that the ball must go over the fence, and Baker is a good pitcher. They say that he is the all-collegiate choice for the pitcheris position,', an- swered Dick, gloomily. W'ell, that doesn't help any. I.et's read the old will again. Your uncle must certainly have been a rabid fan to do such a thing. What does it say F Oh! I havenit the will itself, but here's a duplicate. A nice way to treat a favorite nephew, I'll sayf' Dick passed over the typewritten sheet to his chum. who hastily read: I, John Adams, of Jackson, on event of death, do bequeath the sum of 35,000 to my nephew, Richard Orville Adams of Oxford, provided that by the end of the fifth day of said Richard Adams' playing on the Yale University baseball team, at least one ball hit by same Richard Adams goes over the outfield fence, or in event of said Rich- ard Adams' failure to do this, I be- queath the 35,000 to my Alma Mater. Bradford University. Never mind, Dick, old boy. All you've got to do is to stand up to the plate tomorrow, and line one of Bak- er's curves over the outfield fence. You've done it before, and you can do it again. You hit that homer and I'll follow it up with a triple. Don't worry about it. Good night. ' The day for the game with Bradford University dawned clear. Had you been sitting on the first base bleachers, you would have had an excellent view of the grounds. You would have seen a level expanse of green turf stretching away for a quarter of a mile, and be- yond the diamond a field of closely cropped turf cut off by a high board fence, across the diamond on the third base bleachers were the Bradford sup- porters, six hundred strong, massed closely together, every part of it fiaunt- ing a red banner, tireless in cheering and in song. The ninth inning was going to begin and neither side had scored. Yale was having its last turn at bat, and VV ilson, the Yale captain, was at the plate. Perhaps he was over- confident, for Baker pitched only three curves, none of which the Yale captain was able to touch. VVhen he struck out, the Bradford cheers rang across the field: for this game meant 'a good 90 THE CRANSTONIAN deal to them. Burke, the Yale short- stop, missed three curves and followed the way of his captain while the red banners fiuttered joyously. Adams was the third man at the bat. The cheers took on new force when Dick selected his favorite club and stepped up to the plate. The six hun- dred, red-Haunting enthusiasts were cheering slowly and in unison, Three cheers for the new Adams Lab. Rah! rah! rahl Bradford! Bradford! Brad- ford! Bradford was counting on getting the needed funds for a new Physics laboratory by defeating the Yale team and preventing Dick Adams from get- ting a hit. In fact, they expected to obtain the 35.000, for surely Dick was not likely to hit the ball now, since he had failed three times previously in this very game. The crowd became silent. intense, expectant, as it realized the im- portance of the approaching event. Dick was nervous. He tapped the plate with the end of his bat and shifted his position. If he could only meet that ball squarely, he knew he could lift it over the fence. If ! He groaned when he thought of the possibility of the ball hitting the fence and failing to go over. For the first time since he had made the 'Varsity squad he was timid, for the first time almost in his, memory he was frightened through and through. He turned his gaze toward the Yale bench, where he saw his friends, his team- mates silently wishing him luck. The only sounds that he heard were the fierce growls from the throat of the mascot bulldog, tied to the end of the Yale bench. He turned to the right, where in the front row Pierce Myers. the attorney of his deceased uncle, waited impatiently. Then came the first ball, a lightning curve. Dick struck a foot wide and the Bradford rooters jeered. Dick then settled his cap, wiped his perspiring hands on his trousers, and gripped his bat. On the next pitch he did worse, for he was completely fooled by a de- ceptive drop. His hopes of hitting the homer and getting the 35,000 were gone now. He felt confused and dazed as he stood up to the plate while the cheers of his opponents thundered on one side and on the other the Yale bulldog, decked out in blue silks. an- swered with defiant growls. Then Baker's right arm wandered carelessly across his forehead, his arms shot up. and the ball sped toward Dick. The next second there was a loud crack. A mighty cheer rent the air. Dick raced desperately for first base, but he did not reach it, for he tripped within six' feet of the bag and fell senseless. But no one paid any attention to him. There was more excitement elsewhere. Across the diamond, through the out- field, raced the Yale bulldog with the ball in his mouth. It looked like a fox hunt. The dog, bedecked in blue silks, raced here and there, evading players, umpire, and fans alike. Did he stop when he came to the high board fence? Not he! Carrying the ball with him, he cleared the fence in true athletic style, while eight hundred Yale supporters howled with glee. The game stopped and the crowd hurried over to the unfortunate Dick Adams. He had received a hard jolt, for it took about four gallons of water to revive him. When he opened his eyes, he heard about him shouts and cheers, and the sound of his name re- peated over and over. Then he became aware of a commotion at his left and VOLUME EIGHT 91 straightened up in time to see Pierce Myers, the attorney, push his way through the crowd. How do you feel? All right, Dick F he asked. Sure, what's the matter? panted Dick. Did it go over ? XYell, you see, the dog picked up your hunt down the third base line and carried it over the fence. The will sim- ply states that any ball hit by you that goes over the fence gives you the S5,000. So you see that- 'flust a moment, Mr. Myers. Let me down again. I want to go back to sleep and dream some more. - Elmer R. Smith, '22 ON! MAN' 45 RIGNY. if Q V- ,. ' i ' f X , l on .5 ry, ,,T7N,,.,qfsl vile Lui!! W . ,.: .

VOLUME EIGHT 95 fbnnh joe Bower was a good old sport. Yes, everybody at Lincoln High said that. His genial smile and his frank good nature won him friends every- where he went. Sad to relate, though. joe was lazy. Everybody knew that-Y parents, teachers. chums. His father had given him up as hopeless. No mat- ter what punishment was inflicted, joe remained the same good-natured, lazy boy. Instead of doing his lessons, he spent his time in drawing. He had a mania for designing automobiles. NVhen he got a new idea, everything else was forgotten. The nearest ob- ject, whether book. test paper, or shirt cuff. was immediately used as a draw- ing plate. So it was that the entire school be- came interested when Joe Bower pre- sented himself as a candidate for the track team. The coach smiled. VVhat position are you trying for. Bower ? he asked. Dunno.', grinned Joe. His friends began to poke fun at him. Aren't autos fast enough for you. Joe ? asked one. Given up designing cars for Henry Ford P another asked. Think you'll make the mile in few seconds ? taunted a third. I guess I'll try for the mile. drawled Joe, as he gave chase to his nearest tormentor. 19121 Mus News travels fast in Lincoln. His father heard. XVhat's up, joe ? he asked. I am, in my studies, Dad. laughed Joe. What? demanded the parent. sternly. Has someone been doing your lessons for you ? No, Dad, but you can't run for good old Lincoln unless you're up in your-studies. Good, my boy! Fine! Excellent! Keep up the good work. Joe sat down to study his Latin. A half hour passed. Joe continued to study. His father looked pleased. That track's great stuff, murmured the parent. It'll be the making of Joe. Three-quarters of an hour, an hour, an hour and a half went slowly by. joe seemed to be studying intensively. Your Latin's hard to-night ? ques- tioned his father, as he looked up from his paper. Ughl grunted joe, as if he didn't want to be interrupted. Ten minutes more passed. His fa- ther became uneasy. He got up and tip-toed over to Joe's study table. There, spread out over the grammar. was a thin, paper-covered book. 96 T - THE CRANSTONIAN Hui-m-m-, said Mr. Bower, a call. the coach came upon joe sitting trot. But drawing nearer he read, How to Become an Athlete. Ah! The same old Joe after all, murmured the father. Joe practiced daily. He had deter- mined to show folks that he could do something if he tried. He was the most faithful man on the squad. The coach began to take an interest in him as he saw that Joe would become a good mid- dle distance runner if he were handled properly. Joe received special trials. He was encouraged. The results were gratifying. joe gained speed. Day by day he clipped second after second from his time for the mile run. He became an ardent believer in training. He ate neither pastry nor sweets. As a result, he was the most physically fit man on the squad. At last the day came on which thc annual track meet with VVestbury was to be held. Interest in the event was keen, as the winner was to gain perma- nent possession of a large silver cup. Joe was entered for the mile run. As the contest was drawing to a close. the score stood VVestbury 40, Lincoln 39. There was but the mile run left. Lincoln's hopes of winning the cup were now slight. Chesbro. XN'estbury's entrant. was the interschol- astic championg Joe was an unknown quantityg the others were inferior. The announcer gave the first call for the mile. but Joe was nowhere in evi- dence. The coach became uneasy. He sent messengers in all directions. just as the announcer was giving the last on a box in the club house. He was calmly designing a Packard auto on the back of an envelope. p Hurry, Joe ! commanded the coach. Last call for the mile. Move, I tell you, and look out for Chesbrof' ,Toe grinned and walked leisurely up to the starting line. VV'ith the crack of the pistol, five lithe forms lurched forward. The race proved a thriller from beginning to end. Chesbro took the lead at the start. closely followed by Joe. At the first turn around the track, the runners were closely bunched together. Then Ches- bro began to draw away from the oth- ers, but Joe managed to stick close to his heels. Chesbro looked back. Joe grinned. The VVestbury runner bit his lip and started to run faster. Joe in- creased his speed. Chesbro began to get worried. If he increased his speed, that Lincoln fellow did the same: if he decreased it. his opponent did likewise. He felt that the race was not going to result in as easy a victory for him as he had hoped for. He was interschol- astic champion and his pride was hurt. As the runners entered the last' lap. .Toe and Chesbro were running side by side. The spectators began to cheer loudly. They waved their flags and en- treated their respective men to show more speed. foe increased his pace. Gradually he forged ahead of Chesbro. The Lincoln rooters became frantic with joy. Joe Bower. good old Joe. was drawing away from VVestbury's best. Chesbro made a last despairing effort and then dropped back. -Toe broke the tape amid the cheers and applause of the Lincoln crowd. Good old Joe had won the meet. - Clarence L. Burdelt, 22 C 21216. ow' 0lcL5 E 3 AX!- 2 X Tffa W ' I C1 X lx X S I l W STYLES CHANGE - - - And so does the Crarzstonian.
