1922 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 11 LAURA CURTIS BRINTON (“Sweetheart,” “Billy” “Teddy”) Motto: “Always be happy, keep to the right and you'll be all right.” GLEANER BOARD (4), CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE (4) Yes, this is Laura, our talented musician, and a member of the “Bobbed Hair Club.” She can be seen always selling tickets for her recitals, both organ and piano. But all her time is not spent that way. Of course not, for her favorite pastime is “dancing and eating Eskimo pies.” No wonder she likes that very much for “Calvin” and “Ralph” keep her pretty well dated up. Well, where do we stand, boys? In studies Laura prefers music. She also enjoys teaching music and spending much time with her pupils. Next year Laura intends to go to N. E. Conservatory of Music. 4 ALFRED DAVIS BROWN (“Al Motto: “Trust to luck.” CLASS SUPPER COMMITTEE (4) “Al’s” home room is 26. From that knowledge you will deduct that “Al is in select company. Although “Al” is of a quiet, thoughtful nature, he is one of the best. He is ever ready to “step out” or “come across” as the call may be. He is a loyal supporter of the teams and has an opinion on all subjects. His favorite study is architectural drawing, and the nifty dog-houses and hen-coops he turns out are works of art. His houses are also rated high. Why, on one house he even put French windows on the bathroom! But, outside of that “Al” can get down to business and turn out worthy work. Next vear he will be found at Northeastern. ANNIS MAY BROWN (“May”) Motto: “Great hopes make great men.” May is one of our young artists. She is particularly talented in art and we never stop wondering al the results she accomplishes. Needless to say Applied Design is her favorite subject. However, her reports show a shower of 5’s in all her studies. May “choo choos” down from Cumberland bright and early Monday mornings. We didn’t know the fame of our school had spread so far. Her bright and sunny nature chases away the blues and draws forth a hearty laugh. May expects to enter the Rhode Island School of Design and become a future Raphael. Go to it, May! EDITH ENID BROWLN (“Jack ) Motto: “If one would gain a high position, he must dare.” Who is that dark-eyed blonde up in the corner of Room 26 that is always talking? Why, that's our Edith, commonly called “Jack.” “Jack” with her chum May for four years have come all the way from Cumberland to attend our far-famed school. Applied Design is “Jack’s” favorite subject and she is very proficient in it. She also excels in the millinery class and is always flaunting a new creation to dazzle our eyes. In September “Jack” expects to leave home and Mother and go all the way to Boston into the Massachusetts General Hospital, to train to be a nurse. Sometime in the near future, we’ll hear her patients saying, “I don’t want to get well, I'm in love with a beautiful nurse.” We’re with you, “Jack,” it’s a wonderful vocation.

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.

12 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 MARJORIE BROWN Motto: “Smile and make friends.” In Room 26, with all the other Browns, sits our tall, dark-eyed, lively “Margie.” She likes all her teachers very much and will hate to leave school. She has been working (? ) in a Providence Restaurant. We are willing to wager that the little Chinese boys step around to the “peppy” music she plays. Her favorite study is French, and her favorite pastime is dancing. Her future is undecided hut she may study music after leaving P. H. S. Well. we wish vou the best of luck in your choi LOUISE FRANCES BRO|(fNlNG (“Louie” Motto: Better late han never.” Seventy-five miles of fun! Louise is one of the greatest lovers of a good time that we can find in the whole senior class, whether on the “g- m” or dance floor, in the lunch or class room. And we re not surprised that “Louie” is popular among both sexes when we notice those mighty attractive eves in addition to her amiable disposition. From her motto, one would say that she was in the habit of keeping one writing. Well, perhaps she is, but everybody admits that she certainly is worth waiting for. A girl like “Louie” can’t help but be a success in life and she deserves all she gets. JAMES EDWARD BURNS (“Jim ” “Jip”) Motto: “Better late than never. BASEBALL (3), FOOTBALL (4) Here he is! “Jip,” the boy of many talents. Fiddler, erstwhile student, baseball player, endman and end. The only occasion on which Jim ever allowed himself to break his motto and be on time, was when an opposing back tried to round his end. On time? You bet. But on any other occasion? Say. he’s given Mr. Crosby writer’s cramp. Although Jip likes being a “Pullman Porter Man he s not m ch of a “Ladies’ Man,” but we feel pretty certain that lie'll find one that will capture him. someday. Good luck, Jip. ALBINA CAMPBELL (“Al”) Motto: “Live. love, learn, and laugh.19 “Miss Campbell, FI! see you at 2:05: These are the familiar words that greet Albina almost every day. for she is the bane of her teachers’ existence. If “Al” is in a class room her presence is usually felt in one way or another. U. S. History is her favorite study because she can have more fun in that period. Her favorite sport is teasing her unsuspecting classmates who are totally deceived by her meek face. In the lunch room she has a trick of making everybody laugh when the have a mouthful of sandwich, the result is a general choking party which greatlv amuses “Al.” “Al’ lives up to her motto with a vengeance, although we are not as certain about the learn part of it. She expects to enter R. I. C. E. in the fall, and we are sure she will laugh her way through R. I. C. E. as she did through P. H. S. i
