1922 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 9 ROSE BERICK ( Rose’ ) Motto: “Don't put off till tomorrow what you can Jo today.” This quiet, little girl sits in Room 26. Did we say quiet? Well, looks are deceiving, for when among her friends she’s quite snappv. She claims her outdoor sports are walking and riding, for she just loves the open air. When in school Rose is quite a scholar, study periods being her specialty! Well, it isn't everyone that's so lucky. Next fall we’ll see Rose going into Providence every day to Miss Gibbs Secretarial School where she’ll learn to be a fine secretary for some lucky person. The best o’ luck. Rose. EVELYN MAY BIRCH (“Ev”) Motto: ‘‘God helps them that help themselves.” Who is that pleasant, wavy-haired blonde that sits in Room 26? Why, that’s our dear friend Evelyn. If it wasn’t for her giggle you’d never he aware of her presence, for she is very quiet in school. Her pretty hair is the envy of many of the girls. Almost every time we look at Evelyn she has that engaging smile for you. Everybody likes her, and those who know her, outside of school, say that she is always merry and ready for a good time. Evelyn expects to become a stenographer next year. We are confident that she will be an excellent bookkeeper. Mr. Holden desires her company at his parties after school quite often. We all wish vou success. “Ev.” MABEL ELIZABETH BOYLE (“Mab”) When duly and pleasure crash, let duty go to smash.” “Mab” is the errand girl of Room 26. Whenever Miss Booth has any errands to be done Mabel is the favored one. She is one of those wholehearted girls that you love to see coming, w ith a kind word or a smile for everyone. Judging from her reports, we think she doesn’t live up to her motto, because said reports always have their share of .Vs. English is her favorite study, which verifies the fact that she is a good student. “Mab” isn’t sure about what she is going to do next year, probably she will enter a business college. Whatever you do, “Mab,” we’re certain you’ll be a success. GEORGE LAWRENCE BRADLEY (“Larney,” “Doc,” “Jawn”) Motto: “Eat. drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” ASSISTANT MANAGER BASEBALL (3), MANAGER (4) “Here he comes, look out!” “Yea, that’s ‘Larney’ in his Buiek.” He’s a fast boy in the machine and is especially with the girls. You can always find him at any game whispering sweet nothings in some pretty girl s ear, and cheering the team in between times. “Larney’s” favorite study is “jazz” and he practices it in public and private with a certain demure miss. His motto is good and well carried out even if it does embarrass his studies, but as he says: “They don’t count.” Rhode Island State College will claim him next year. Here he hopes to continue his “jazzing” and shaving the passing mark. (6

8 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 HORACE HENRY BARKER. Motto: ‘'Eat. drink and be merry for tomorrow we die” LOCALS (3), SCIENTIFIC NOTES (4), CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE ( 1 , SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE ( ) Horace is one of the math sharks, but unlike Eatough, he never mentions infinity except when speaking of the number of his dates. He spends much of his time in Chem class where lu either dyes or tries to kill the rest of the class. He is the editor of the Scientific Notes and freely discusses such scientific subjects as: ’If some bird mixed glyecrin with H-S04 would it blow the J L?” His special task in French class is to translate the love scenes. He works afternoons, dances nights, apparently never studies and drags down 5’s. Next year will find him at Brown preparing to be an engineer. Good luck. Horace. RUTH ELSIE BAR ROW CLOUGH Motto: “Every day has a new beginning.” Ruth trails from Darlington, and is one of our best liked Darlington is the home of a great many of the clever studfffts of Pawtucket high, so is it any wonder? She has “some s dwit shorthand and typewriting and thinks there is nothing likiQheVj'Shc is a dandy good sport, and is altogether a fine P. H. S. lyocfoet'. Room 26 is quite lively when Ruth shows up. Next vtfaj) slirf Wpects to enter an office where we know that she will make g Vidjdw raise our reputation for “speedy typists.” j RLOW (“Cynthia”! anilh and be happy.” For four strenuous years Cynthia has migrated from the wilds of Attleboro to be with us. Evidently she believes in the proverb, “Children should be seen and not heard.” for we never hear Cynthia except in a class room. When a teacher is tired of hearing “not prepared,” she calls on Miss Barlow and Cynthia comes forth with such a flow of knowledge that we marvel how she does it. Cynthia is very fond of music and she spends many evenings at concerts and musical entertainments. She follows her motto to the letter, for we never see her when she isn’t smiling. Cynthia is undecided about what she will do next year, but we feel sure that she will tackle and manage it in her own quiet way. FREDERICK FRANK BERICK (“Freddie”) Motto: “Please, be pleased, and do as you pleased ORCHESTRA Wherever P. H. S. has had any footlight activities the last few years, dramatics, debating, etc., Freddie and his beloved violin have been a very necessary part of the proceedings. He is the boy who calmly stands up alone and. by talented dexterity with the bow, lulls the enemy and audience into a reposeful state in which they will take anything without a murmur. Truly, it’s a great scheme and the credit goes to Freddie. Since his entry to P. H. S. he has been the mainstay of the orchestra and a much applauded part of every program he figures on. Three or four curtain calls are commonplaces in Freddie’s life. Well, as Shakespeare almost wrote, “Talent will out.” Next year the New England Conservatory of Music will rightly claim Frederick.

10 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 RUSSELL STANTON BRAY (“Rut”) FOOTBALL (4), SWIMMING (2) Motto: “Ain’t nature grand.” Everyone is acquainted with Rut, if not because of his activities on the football and swimming teams or in the Boy Scouts, because of his “yard-long” biological terms. His favorite studies are biological sciences, and. desiring to increase his knowledge of bacteria (his favorite), he went out for the swimming and football teams. He at least learned the taste of these bacteria when he “bit the dust ’ on the football field and half-drowned in the Y. M. C. A. Pool. He made his letters, also. Rut says. “Ain’t Nature Grand!” (we wonder if he says this from a biologist’s viewpoint only?). Next year, he intends to enter Brown to prepare for a medical school. We all believe that Rut will become famous for his biological and medical work, for he is undoubtedly talented along that line. So here’s luck, Rut. FLORENCE FRANCES BREED (“Floss” I Motto: “Experience is the greatest teacher.” Miss Florence F. Rreed, Belmont Street. Pawtucket, P. H. S. 22, room 24. Tall, rather thin, dark hair—what? Oh yes, of course, she wouldn’t think of getting anything less than a 5 in Spanish (which by the way, is her favorite study). Independent! Well I guess—no mere man could satisfy her. Her favorite saying is “How do you know”? Needless to say, we don't know, but then one has to bluff a bit once in a while, “Floss.” She is somewhat of a fiddler and will probably cast in her lot with an orchestra some day. Her favorite recreation is lunching at some tea room on cream puffs. Next year she will work in an office for a while until she can start in business for herself, just what it will be. we don’t know, but we wish her luck. JAMES EDWARD BRENNAN. Jr. (“Jim,” “Jimmy,” “Jazbo”) Motto: “Love ’em all, but marry none.” DRAMATIC CAST (3) (4), SWIMMING (4), MEMBER OF CAST IN “CAESAR’S GHOST” (4), SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE (4), MINSTREL SHOW' COMMITTEE (4), END MAN (3) (4), GLEE CLUB (4), CLASS FOOTBALL TEAM (4) Behold! “Jazz” Brennan, the terpischorean wizard of P. H. S. Whenever there is a chance to “trip the light fantastic,” Jimmy can always be found in the middle of the floor, dancing with some good-looking Jane. Besides being a ladies man, Jim is an athlete, and an accomplished actor. He has been very prominent in school aff airs, and is one of the most popular members of our illustrious class, especially with the girls. OSBORNE WESLEY BR1DEN (“Ozzv”) Motto: “Don’t talk about it, do it.” Hail! Our future Y. M. C. A. gymnasium director. If you’ve never seen Briden leading the Business Men’s class on the “gym” floor, you’ve missed it. Although he spent a lot of time at the ,” “Ozzy” managed to find time to certify his way through school. He was one of Mr. Crosby’s “math” sharks and next to this study his favorite was chemistry. He can always be found, after examinations or after reports are out, trying to get Mr. Wolfe to raise a 4+ to a 5—. Next year he will go to Brown and wear a little, er—pardon me. big brown hat. Best wishes, old man, and don’t forget Prof. Murphy’s dancing class.
