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.

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.

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.
