1922 hF PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 15 LOUIS LEO CORENBAUM (“Louie,” “Coke”) Motto: “Gone but not forgotten.” We wonder whether he means those “lectures,” the hours he spends (? I at his homework, or his beloved pipe. Coke’s pipe certainly was a pal to him, and it was a sad day when it disappeared. We wonder who got it, and what the thief will do with it. His favorite study is chemistry. He certainly does enjoy it. He just loves—breaking test tubes. Next year, he intends to enter Brown to take up a course in engineering and some day we will no doubt hear of Coke as an engineer. ALICE SYLVIA CRAWFORD (“Ike and “Alley”) Motto: “Look for the silver lining. “the charm school” (41, “prom” committee (3), CHAIRMAN RECEPTION “Alice where art thou”? Well, not very far away, let’s hope. She is apt to be so quiet that you would hardly know she was there, that is until you know her, for Alice is far from quiet to her friends, and she has a great many of them. She has two hobbies that everyone knows her for and they are automobiling and attending games. Alice is quite as interesting as the others and we don’t blame her in the least, no one could. Her favorite subject is applied design and she is one of Miss Bradley’s prize pupils. Many the student who wishes that he might do Latin as easily as she makes rings and other jewelry. “Alley” is another honored member of the sopranos whose seat is all reserved in (lie front row on Tuesdays. The “gang” simply couldn't get along without her. Next year she expects to enter the School of Decorative Design, Boston, and we know she will be successful there. RUTH ELIZABETH CURRAN (“Ruth”) Motto: “Do it yesterday.” Ruth is one of the best-natured girls that ever lived, anyone will vouch for that. She is never seen without her pink vanity case, pocket size. She is a perfect shark in math; she even talks in algebra. A small army of 5’s will speak for chemistry which she pursues in a rubber apron. We do not know what she “does yesterday,” probably her favorite study, French. Next fall Ruth is going to pack her grip, not forgetting shock absorbers for room mate, and journey down to Kingston. After four years of intensive study, she will be a domestic science teacher and revolutionize all methods for teaching girls how to boil water. ANNE ELIZABETH CULLEN ( Betty”) Yup, (his is Betty! She has no favorite study, she likes ’em all. No motto, either, queer girl! But Betty loves dancing, and Titian-haired males, and “keen numbers.” Betty has about the longest name around town. Anne Elizabeth is just the starter. Big-hearted Betty. She loves athletics and supports P. H. S. loyally. Betty’s a good pusher, if the weather is good, eh, “Bett”? She is a member of the I-Can-Eat-The-Most Club but gets left frequently because she does more talking than eating. “B’s” a good scholar, manages to keep off the Permanent List some way, and is very proficient at all themes. When you’re looking for one good ole sport, here’s Betty!

(3), MANAGER FOOTBALL (4), ASSISTANT MANAGER (3), VICE PRESIDENT LYCEUM (3), PRESIDENT (4), EDITOR-IN-CHIEF CLASSBOOK (4), EDITOR-IN-CHIEF GLEANER (4), ASSISTANT EDITOR (3), CASTS “bachelor hall” (3), “two crooks” “green stockings” “the charm school” (4) “Ed is one of the grand exalted of our school. He has worked much more than any other for its growth and improvement. In every school activity he has been prominent, and his driving power and initiative have always been back of every movement. Editor of the best Gleaner on record; chief contributor and executive of the Class Book; president and esteemed speaker of the Lyceum; star merman in a champion team; executive of the Junior class; vice-president of the Dramatic Society; actor of remarkable ability; manager of the football team; vice-president of the Athletic Association in his Junior year; minstrel show committee member and witty end man; brilliant scholar, social center, and a brainy political man. In all these things he has excelled, 'io is it any wonder that he is one of P. H. S.’s most respected leaders? Taking his word for it, he hates each study equally, but he has certified in Latin for four years, without grinding, and has topped the scholarship lists each year. The loudest cheers, the best of best wishes, and the highest hopes for new fields conquered will accompany “Ed when he goes to Dartmouth. BYRON FORREST COOK (“Cookie,” “Bike,” “Cherub”) Motto: “Our lives are what we make them. CLASS FOOTBALL (4 I Cast your eyes upon the noble brow of “Cookie.” He came to us a nice, shy, retiring young man, but age makes changes in us all. Now his pockets are plenteous with pictures, powder boxes and pins of the various members of the fair sex. who have fallen before those wonderful eyes and that wavy hair. “Cherub’s” favorite study is chemistry, and he sharks this with ease. His other vocation is “varsitying” around the halls seeking new material, but there’s a scarcity, so he goes to Brown for his company. “Cookie” made the Senior football team and showed a little class in that. Next year he intends to go to R. I. S. C. and continue breaking test tulies while studying chemical engineering. ISABEL JANET COUGHLIN (“Bel”) Motto: “Laugh, love all and be happy. DRAMATICS (3) This snappy looking little maiden sits in Room 26. She is another member of the “Bobbed Hair Club.” “Bel” is always seen walking through the gay halls of the P. H. S. with a smile on her face. She certainly lives up to her motto. Her favorite study is English. Bel likes dramatics very much, having been a member of the cast of the “District Attorney.” Next year Isabel intends to laugh her way through R. I. C. E. The best of luck from the class go with you!

 ■n HIGH SCHOO (V 1922 GERTRUDE REGINA CULLEN (“Cert,” “Reggie”) Motto: “On with the dance.” CLEANER BOARD (4), CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE, SENIOR RECEPTION- COMMITTEE Room 26 is justly noted for its intellectuals. Prominent on the roster and among the members is the name, and person, of “Gert” Cullen. Major among Gert’s studies is chemistry. She is taking the “heavy stuff” in order to enter R. I. C. E. some bright A. M. next Fall. In order to get in a little preliminary practice, you might say “roadwork.” “Gert”’ has developed as her favorite pastime the highly munificent job, position rather, of pushing baby carriages. But, with all this, they don’t come any livelier. A glance at her motto confirms this statement, for never is she without the tickets for sale or knowledge of a “keen time.” GEORGE HERBERT DECKER. JR. (“Sam,” “Junior,” “Herbie”) Motto: “Don’t get hooked. Stay even.” ASSISTANT MANAGER SWIMMING (3), MANAGER (4), CLEE CLUB (4) “I’ve got a date on.” “Sam” has had to say that so often in his last two years that he considered it for a motto. His correspondence rivals that of a matinee idol and we know that it isn’t all business. “Sam” was a very efficient assistant and a better manager of our mermen, he piloted to the championship. This illustrious leader, and Glee Club member, has a very sweet I ? ) voice which we infer was developed while serenading some beautiful brunette. “Herbie” is chem crazy and he rivals even, “Herbie,” Sr., in his astounding knowledge of the qualities of CS2. EDITH RITA DELAIVE (“Edie”) Motto: “Beware, be wise, be good” Here s “Edie, ’ that attractive girl of Room 26, afflicted with the terrible disease known as “gigglitis.” Evidently she doesn’t believe in the maxim, “Children should l e seen and not heard,” for we always know she is coming before we see her. “Edie” is full of push and puts her marks across with a vim. Shorthand is her favorite study and that’s no snap either, don’t let anybody fool you! When it comes to good times “Edie” is right there, and we all agree that she is some dancer. “Edie” is undecided about her future. Perhaps she’ll be an asset to some business office, more likely to some tired business man. ALICE RITA DONAHUE (“Al”) Motto: “To come to school on time is joy. But to come prepared is ecstasy.” Judging from the first line of “Al’s” motto, we should say that she never felt joyful because her arrival is usually breathlessly accomplished at 8:31. In spite of all this “Al” is a very sunny-tempered girl. She is always laughing. In fact, she is a charter member of the Giggle Club of Room 26. Her favorite study is applied design at which she has been very busy these past years, charming and making charms for the male members of P. H. S. She intends to go to Rhode Island College of Education but we think that she’ll be running a dancing school down town some day.
