PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 CLASS ODE Dear Class, as ends our four years’ course today. Judged by what we’ve done, not what we say, Spent or misspent, our span of fleeting years, O’er the dead past we waste no futile tears. Hail then the future; to the past farewell; For us no mournful song, no passing bell. As we today. 0 Class of Twenty-Two, Turn from our work here done to tasks anew. By precept taught, and nature’s open book. Be ours the upward, ever onward look: Assured that often truest merit lies In earnest effort though we miss the prize. As ever on the path of learning leads. To meet the urgent call of human needs. Whatever may betide or good or ill, Life’s constant school shall find us students still.

1922 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 7 THE CLASS AGNES SIGRII) ELIZABETH ANDERSON (“Nessie”) Motto: “Laugh and grow thin.” Agnes or Nessie as she is called by her large number of friends, has been the joy of the teachers in the commercial department, for she has been a fine student during the four years she has attended P. H. S. She is a quiet girl, but well liked, and has a smile for everyone. Her favorite studies are shorthand and typewriting. Next year Agnes is undecided whether to enter the business world or attend a business college. ROSS ANDREW (“Ross”) Motto: “Know thyself.” Ross is one of those science sharks, who have loaded their course with such unnecessaries as “Trig.” “Chem” and Frog.” The funny part of it is that Ross certifies in them all. Ross went to Camp Sims and learned how to row a boat, shoot a gun. and read “log” tables. He is extremely interested in a pretty Junior, who sits in Room 17. (We don’t blame him a whole lot either.) Next year, Ross will take up chemistry at Brown. Good luck, Ross: on to Brown. JAMES MAGNER BARRY (“Jeemy ” “Jimmy,” “Jim”) Motto: “Have a good lime, but be a good boy.” SECRETARY OF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (4), CLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE (4), CHAIRMAN OF MINSTREL SHOW COMMITTEE (4), TRACK TEAM (3) (4) “Jimmy” has been the mainstay of our track team for two years. He can pick up the “spuds” in a potato race faster than any other fellow in school. His work on the editorials for the Gleaner has been excellent. He helped put over, as chairman of the Minstrel Show Committee, the biggest show' in years. As a ghost in “Great Caesar’s Ghost” he did well. His studies have all been certified. He is a favorite of the teachers (due to his fine w'ork and sunny good humor I. His favorite study, so he says, is mathematics, but we have a sneaking suspicion that he considers dancing a much more elevating study.
