iimiiii Pawtucket Senior Hich School 1926 11 MURIEL RUTH BAILEY Motto: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” ORCHESTRA, CLEE CLUB (4) Muriel is one of our quiet, demure classmates. Although she is not very widely known, her own circle of friends finds her a pleasing and agreeable companion. Muriel is an accomplished pianist, and is greatly interested in music. She has her own particular place in our Orchestra and Glee Club. Next year will find Muriel at Bryant and Stratton’s, and we know that she will follow out her motto there as well as she has done at P. H. S. EMELINE BUXTON BALLOU (“Em”) Motto: “Why worry?” HONOR SOCIETY Emeline quiet? Oh. no she isn’t! You may have that impression if you don’t know her, but all her friends agree that she is lively. She came to us from New Haven one day in our Junior year. Emeline is one of those bright pupils who never take a book home but who can alw'ays show you a report card that will dazzle your eyes. Her favorite study is applied arts and next year the Rhode Island School of Design will be her port. DOROTHY BARROWCLOUGH (“Dot.” “Dotty”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble ’til trouble troubles you.” “Dot” is one of our expert “smilers.” If you don’t know her, you get the impression that she is rather quiet, but then, that’s for people who don’t know her. Her favorite subject is English. She is at the height of joy when she is skating, although she enjoys all other athletics. “Dot” intends to be either a stenographer or a bookkeeper. She hasn’t decided which, yet, because she likes both subjects so well. She is a conscientious worker and P. H. S. wishes her success. JESSIE BARSAMIAN (“Red,” “Jess,” “Bones”) Motto: “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Jessie is like a restless, seething wave, for she is never quiet. We cannot imagine that we could take her on ornithological trips; that is, if we particularly wished to see the birds. Have you ever known of Jessie’s coming toward you silently? No. Her approach is usually heralded by a shriek of pleasure or impatience. Jessie intends to earn her livelihood by stenography, and we hope that she will be a shining success.

Then she looks serious and pretends to study hard. Thus we can see she thoroughly enjoys herself in all her classes. “Glad” likes “gym” best, hut she says she wouldn’t like it so much if Miss Jones wasn’t the teacher. In her four-year high school career she has never been absent or late. How’s that for an attendance record? Next year she will enter the business world and probably become somebodv’s faithful “stenog.” Rest of luck. “Glad.” MILDRED GLASSEY ANDREWS (“Ted”) Motto: “Why worry? led. in spite of her masculine nickname, is a distinctly feminine young lady. She is the living exponent of her favorite motto, “Why worry? and should she ever decide to spread that gospel, she would have no difficulty in finding pupils eager to learn. Her favorite indoor sport, need we state it. is dancing. Of all her studies she likes shorthand and typewriting the best. “Ted’ intends to enter the business world after graduation, whereupon some office will be greatly enhanced. Good luck. “Ted.” EDNA ARNOLD (“Eddie”) Motto: “ ot first you don't succeed. ry, try again?9 DRAMATICS (3) (4), SENIOR PLAY (4), HONOR SOCIETY Edna is that petite brunette in Room 23C. She may he seen in the midst of an interested group at lunch time relating some funny experience. Edna is interested in all P. II. S. activities, especially dramatics. She will not soon be forgotten by her roles as “Aunt Hetty” and the little French girl in the “Champion.” Edna is quite a horsewoman, we hear, having all the advantages of the great open spaces of Savlesville. She is undecided about next year’s plans, but the class of 26 wishes her the best of luck. PHEBE ARNOLD (“Pheeb,” “Shorty,” “Ducky”) 1 lotto: “Let your conscience he your guide, but—.” SWIMMING (ll (2) (3) Id), MANAGER SWIMMING (4), BASKETBALL (3 I (4), TRACK (3) (4), GLEE CLUB (4) A small bundle, hut all pep! No more popular girl in the class than Phcbe. She likes a good time and can always be depended upon to do her part. Phebe is always glad to see you and always has a joke or something witty to tell you. She is also a prominent athlete, being both a basketball player and a mermaid. In fact, at the Girl Scout camp she was the first girl to obtain the rank of white cap. the highest swimming rank offered. Phebe was rewarded for her interest in athletics by managership of the swimming team. A snappy manager she made, too! Good luck for the future!

CLASS BASKETBALL (2) (3) (4) Petite, vivacious “Buddy”! Always the center of attraction. School activities make up a great part of “Bud’s” routine, especially where dancing is concerned. Even though she is devoted to tripping the light fantastic, her studies are never neglected. Her favorite subject is English if marks have anything to do with it. Other things also claim “Bud’s” attention at school, as anyone passing 21C at a recess hour could readily see. We know that everyone in old P. H. S. will miss “Bud's” smile, but if any of us come back next year, we will probably meet her, as she intends to take a P. G. before continuing her studies at Brown. ALFRED EARL BINFORD (“Al”) “A1‘ is one of the tall, cpiiet members of our class. However, he is well known throughout the school by his genial personality and ready wit. Although “Al” does not spend much time in school, he has accomplished a great deal in the two years that he has been here. We do not know what he intends to do next year, but we feel sure that he will come out on top. Best of luck, “Al.” GLADYS MARION BLISS (“Glad,” “Seekonk”) Motto: “Never do tomorrow what can be done today BASKETBALL (4), GLEE CLUB (4) Gladys, the friend of all, is rather quiet while in the class-room, but she makes up for it at the proper time. No game would be complete without her in the front line cheering our boys and girls. For the past four years “Glad has travelled daily from Seekonk to P. H. S., never thinking the weather too unfavorable even in the season's worst snowstorms. Next year we will see her resuming her studies at R. I. C. E. and the best wishes of her classmates go with her. ALFRED HENRY BOOKER (“Al”) Motto: “Qui vivra. verra DRAMATICS (3) (4), “GREEN STOCKINGS” (4) Who is the versatile young man who can so easily and realistically take the part of a boy in his 'teens or an old man Why, “Al” Booker, of course. “Al” has been in practically every Dramatic Society play for the past two years. Perhaps most of us will remember him as the eccentric “Cappv Ricks,” which part “Al” acted remarkably well. Although “Al” has not been on our debating team, he can debate and has much knowledge of parliamentary law. He is undecided as to his next year’s plans, but we are sure that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. Good luck. “AL”
