The REDJACKET Published by THE SENIOR CLASS 19 3 8 Pawtucket Senior High School Pawtucket, Rhode Island CONTENTS DEDICATION PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE PAWTUCKET’S HONOR ROLL CLASS OF 1938 ORGANIZATIONS SPORTS ADVERTISEMENTS To William O. Holden TEACHER, FRIEND, AND LEADER IN PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL FOR THIRTY-FOUR YEARS, WHOSE WORK IN THE CLASS-ROOM HAS ALWAYS WON HIM THE SINCERE RESPECT AND ADMIRATION OF HIS STUDENTS AND WHOSE GENIAL WAYS HAVE ENDEARED HIM TO THE HEARTS OF THE THOUSANDS WHO HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO KNOW HIM, THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE CLASS OF 1938. Editor-in-chief THOMAS P- BMINEFIELD Art Editor Irene Larson Herbert Katz Business Manager Cl ass Book Board Always keeping in mind the excellence of previous REDJACKHTS. this year s classbook board has earnestly tried to edit a book of which the class may be proud. I he task of recording and publishing the achievements of 19 38 has been made a real pleasure by the outstanding accomplishments of the class itself, and by the host of friends who have done so much for us. The board is indebted to Miss Nellie V. Donovan. Senior Class Advisor, for sound advice and careful guidance which has made possible the publication of this book. The untiring efforts of the Art Department have not only enabled us to publish an artistic REDJACKET. but have assured the success of our book. For the first time an attempt was made to have consistency in the division pages. The first scratchboard creations have also been introduced. We are indeed grateful to Mrs. Carpenter. Miss Morse, and the senior art students for their splendid cooperation. Undaunted by poor business conditions. Business Manager Herbert Katz, with the aid of the board, has secured a far greater amount of advertising than has ever before been procured. The perseverance of the board and the generosity of our advertisers have enabled us to print and sell to the class at a reasonably low price the largest and most attractive classbook ever edited by a graduating class of Pawtucket High School. We are dealing liberally with superlatives, but we feel justified in doing so. Combining new conceptions with the old. in every way we have endeavored to make this REDJACKET an accurate record of our class and a vivid account of its activities. The entire board has spent many long hours and has done a tremendous amount of work in doing its best to make our REDJACKET a fitting memorial of the Class of 1 938. Thomas P. Barneeield.

At any rate, I have made a sincere effort to present what seemed to me to be a few worthwhile ideas in the hope that they might, here and there, strike a sympathetic chord, and possibly clear up a bit of fog in the mind of some puzzled youth looking to the years that lie ahead. I hold no illusions as to the effectiveness of these discourses or the seriousness with which they have been taken. I am inclined to ascribe to kindness and charity the insistent request of this year’s Editorial Board that I write another ’'Principal's Message.” This is an unusual class. I am going to give you a few thoughts in the form of quotations that I like, and I know that class with one-hundred and sixteen members in the Honor Society and seven straight ”5” stu-ents—many classes have none—will be able to fill in the details and reach its own conclusions. Alessage Keep Fit “Public Health is the Foundation upon which rests the Happiness of the People.”— Disraeli. “To Lose one’s Health Renders Science Null, Art Inglorious, Strength Effortless, Wealth Useless and Eloquence Powerless. — Herophilus. “To keep the body fit is the first essential in keeping the mind alert and operative, the conscience clear, and the soul courageous and aspiring. —W. H. P. Faunce. Keep Saving “If you want to know whether you are destined to be a success or a failure in life you can easily find out. The test is simple and it is infallible. Are you able to save money? If not, drop out------. The seed of success is not in you.”—James J. Hill. Keep Reading If I were a young man I should plan to keep myself mentally alert. I should read regularly the best books available even if I had to force myself to do it.” “A man ought to do some reading for the sheer delight of it. The best test of a man's character is his use of leisure.”—W. H. P. Faunce. “And when the trail is blazed by a master hand something happens to our plodding feet. In books that are good enough to survive the crowding in of tomorrow’s books, literature really becomes both the companion and the guide of life.”—Mrs. A. C. E. Allin-son. “I seek the gate of my beloved retreat And enter softly through an open book.” —Mabel K. Richardson. Keep Thinking “Some time, somewhere, everyone who has a head on his shoulders and not merely a place to wear a hat ought to learn to think.” —JCharles R. Brown. I 8 1 “Do you realize that some day the automobile will be as antiquated as the one-horse shay and the aeroplane as out-of-date as the old high-wheeled bicycle? Thinking is the basis ot all progress. All thinking is education either for good or bad What would you say if a person proposed to do all his sleeping or all his eating in the first fifteen years, and none afterwards? It is just as absurd for a person to think he can get all his education in the first fifteen years. Sawing wood is an honorable enough occupation, but the trouble is it doesn’t force a man to think, and if a man doesn't think, he cannot grow. —Alexander Meiklejohn. Keep Friendship “The only way to have a friend is to be one. It is my joy in life to find At every turning of the road The strong arm of a comrade kind To help me onward with my load. And since I have no gold to give And love alone must make amends. My only prayer is. while I live— God make me worthy of my friends . Keep Idealism No amount of pay ever made a good soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, or a good workman.”—Ruskin. Unless in the depths of your soul you keep alive the loftiest motives for your life work: unless you continually inject into the sordid routine that engulfs you day by day some measure of idealism, your work will be a failure—It will slip down and down from the higher levels to the lower until it becomes a mere scramble for a livelihood. “Across the fields of yesterday There often comes to me A little lad with face aglow. The boy I used to be. He watches, listens, takes my hand. And walks awhile with me. Then asks me if I've made myself The man I planned to be. Thomas S. Jones, Jr. It is of little matter whether any one man fails or succeeds: but the cause shall not fail, for it is the cause of mankind. We here in America hold in our hands the hope of the world, the fate of the coming years: and the shame and disgrace will be ours if in our eyes the light of high resolve is dimmed, if we trail in the dust the golden hopes of men. — Theodore Roosevelt. Keep Faith It is faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes life worth looking at. —Holmes. Nothing is more pathetic than a man who has lost faith in his country, or his friends, or God. He is like a rudderless ship, at the mercy of every wind and wave.” Keep therefore thy heart with all diligence! Keep it filled and charged with tender devotion and joyous enthusiasm, with gracious longings and high resolves, for out of it are the issues of life. —Charles R. Brown. Moreover, a great triumphant belief in some eternal principle, in some unchanging value, in something worth living for and worth dying for. releases us from scores of petty fears and inhibitions. . . ”—W. H. P. Faunce. This above all: to thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. To every man there openeth A High Way and a Low And every man decideth Which way his soul shall go.” John Oxenham May every success and happiness be yours. Alfred J. Maryott. Principal.

LARSON Lester Knox Little OF all the many graduates of Pawtucket High School, none has had a more interesting career than Lester Knox Little. Commissioner of Customs at the Port of Canton. China. Mr. Little graduated from Pawtucket High School in 1910, as president of his class, and entered Dartmouth College in the fall of that year. While at Dartmouth he received his Phi Beta Kappa key. and was made a member of Psi Epsilon fraternity, the Casque and Gauntlet, and Paleopitus. the senior governing body. He was elected President of the Dartmouth Christian Association, and won his “D” on the varsity track team. After graduating with an A. B. degree in 1914, Mr. Little sailed for Shanghai to enter the Chinese Maritime Customs Service, which was then offering positions to promising young Americans. Mr. Little has since served the Republic of China continuously for twenty-four years, working in many different branches of the Service. The Chinese customs is a proud old service, extremely important to Chinese finance, as there is no system of national taxation in the Republic. Besides the actual collection of customs, the service supervises light houses and all harbor activities. thus having almost absolute control over China’s commerce. During his first leave of absence from China Mr. Little spent several months in advanced collegiate study and was awarded his Master of Arts degree by Brown University in 1921. Commissioner Little has been stationed at various times in Pekin. Amoy, Tien-Tsin, and Shanghai. His duties have required a complete mastery of Mandarin, the official Chinese language, as well as several of the hundreds of native dialects. During the Japanese incident of 1932. Mr. Little was stationed at Shanghai as personal secretary to the Inspector General of Customs. After this affair he was sent to Geneva as the official advisor to the Chinese delegation to the League of Nations Conference. At the present time he is serving as Commissioner of Customs at the Port of Canton. Here he is in charge of several hundred Chinese and foreign workers, administering the customs at this large river port. Canton, one hundred miles up the Pearl River from British Hong-Kong, is now doubly important because it is the only large Chinese port that is not under Japanese domination. In his latest letters home the Commissioner praises the loyalty of his native staff, none of whom has deserted his desk despite the constant physical danger and tremendous mental strain of war-time work. The thought uppermost in their minds is Commissioner Little's often repeated motto. The integrity of the Customs must be preserved”. Modest and retiring, Mr. Little has never claimed any of the honors and publicity that many a lesser man would consider his due He has worked faithfully and quietly for the Chinese government, keeping cool and level-headed in the midst of the mass hysteria of the frequent air-raids. Surely Mr. Little is a worthy example for the youth of America to follow. The class of 1938 is proud to add the name of Lester Knox Little to Pawtucket High School's Roll of Honor. Jean Hendricks [ 13 ] Tk omas Gardiner c orcoran Thomas gardiner corcoran. eminent member of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Brain Trust”, was born in Pawtucket on December 29, 1900. At the age of six Tom entered Grove Street Grammar School, where Nelson Eddy too began his education. He was graduated from here in 1914 and entered Pawtucket High School in the fall of the same year. From here, in the early summer of 1918, Tom was graduated at the head of his class. Tom’s father had begun life by working with his hands, and insisted that his son do likewise. From the age of twelve Tom was a wage-earner. He sold papers, worked in stores, and in the summer on a farm. After graduation from Pawtucket High School he proceeded to put himself through Brown University by the three means he had discovered of making money. His skill as a piano player assured him of paid employment in dance orchestras. Then he set about capturing most of the prizes in sight. It is estimated that he earned an average of fifty dollars a month in prize money throughout his college career at Brown. In his senior year he won the hundred dollar prize offered to the student who became captain of the Debating Team. Incidentally this year he was also president of Brown's chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. His third way of making money was to act as guide during the summer vacation for the Appalachian Mountain Club at Mount Washington, New Hampshire. Tom was graduated from Brown University in 1922 with the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts. He had specialized, prophetically, in English composition. From Brown he went to Harvard Law School, where he once more led his class. Tom wished to be a professor of law, and won a fellowship in research under the great Felix Frankfurter. He was graduated from Harvard Law School in 1925 as a Bachelor of Law, and remained there one more year to earn the degree of Doctor of Social Jurisprudence, being one of the few holders of this degree in the state of Rhode Island. After graduation he went to Washington as secretary to the late Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. As is well known, it was the amiable practice of that revered jurist to choose a new secretary each year from the current crop of law graduates. This twelve-month period was the most beneficial year Lorn ever had. At the end of his secretaryship he returned to INew York, where a place had been reserved tor him in the corporation law firm of Cotton and Franklin. Tom was the active counsel in charge of brokerage clients and was the firm s representative in the Stock Exchange. In the early part ol 1 32 he was about to become general couns tor an important industrial corporation when he was dratted by President Herbert Hoover to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Except for a few months in the .Treasury Department, Tom served on this board. The rest is history. Corcoran rose from one government position to another, until in 1937 he was recognized as the personal counsel to President Roosevelt. It has been hinted that genial Tommie has written many of the President's speeches, and has been the corrector of many others. His home at 1610 K Street in Washington, which he shares with Ben Cohen, another member of the Kitchen Cabinet, has often been referred to as The Little White House. It was here that White House Tommie” drew up the Securities Act of 1934, and the Public Utility Holding Act of 1935. Tommie prefers to consider himself, in the sense of the British Civil Service, as a professional government servant, to whom a task is now and then assigned, which he dispatches to the best of his zeal and capacity. Herbert Katz [ 15 1 Class of 1878 SIXTY years ago this June it was Pawtucket High School's first graduation day. Five students sat on the platform of the Second Baptist Church on High Street, waiting to receive their diplomas from William A. Tolman, Principal. Of course there had been a high school before this—since 1855, in fact—but it was little more than a glorified grammar school, and students had attended for as long as they liked, taking as many courses as they were interested in. So we are justified in calling this class the First Graduating Class of Pawtucket High School. In the class of 1878 there were three girls and two boys. Only two of the five are still living: Miss Sarah A. Jenks. who lives at 123 Mulberry Street, and Mr. Frank L. Gatchell, who is an official of the Pawtucket Institution for Savings. The other three were Miss Alice Franklin. Miss Clara Board -man. who for many years taught at East Street School, and Mr. Frank S. Sweet, a lawyer at Bridgewater after his graduation from Brown in 1882. These five fore-runners of the six-hundred and eight members of the class of nineteen thirty-eight studied far different subjects from those in our curriculum. Besides Latin and Greek, mathematics, physics, astromony, and botany were offered, with practical experience in field work. Singing lessons were given once a week by the music supervisor. Mr. Albert O. White. The crowning glory of the class day was a discourse on Mental and Moral Philosophy” (Just think of it!) given by Dr. Wayland of Brown University. This first four-year course was held in the Second Baptist Church, pictured above, which served as a school building until it was blown off its foundations in the gale of '86. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH The first graduation exercises must have been very interesting. Besides the usual addresses, every pupil read an original essay. Mr. Gatchell recalls that his was on the subject Manual Training in Education”. An extremely radical idea in 1878! There was no class ode or prophecy, but those graduates did have class rings, inscribed with their motto, Certum pete finem”. or “Aim at a certain goal”. Despite all the differences of time and studies, we think the first class of Pawtucket High must have been much like us in hopes and aspirations and in loyalty to their Alma Mater, and we are proud to salute them. We give you the class of eighteen seventy-eight. Jean Hendricks f 16 ] Offi icers President William E. Rutledge Vice-President Walter McIlwain Secretary Phyllis Rodger CLASS ODE As the parting hour draws near Wc. Class of Thirty-Eight, Pledge to our school a loyalty That time shall not abate. Through three brief years wc have been safe Beneath these lofty towers. Gaining a store of worthy lore And knowing happy hours; We’ve watched our river’s sunny calms And raging torrents high; We've learned that life will have its storms That will not pass us by. Now forth we march with lifted eyes Toward conquests yet to come. The shields wc bear, Pawtucket High, You forged here, one by one. Barbara Sprinthall. T reasurer Elmer M.

II I 120 ] Prologue FROM the three Junior Highs situated in distant corners of the city came, in the fall of 1935, a multitude of youngsters to the imposing building which is recognized as the one and only Senior High School of Pawtucket. Eager boys and girls were these, with the simple, unsophisticated manner of American childhood, touched with just that bit of pride that is typical of high school sophomores. ACT 1 Time: 1935-1936. Place: Pawtucket High. Characters: Sophomores. Scene I: the first day of school. (Enter a group of Sophs) : Well, here we are! And no proud and mighty” seniors around either. Yes, thank goodnes. But we didn't get out of everything—we’re still victims! What do you mean?—Oh. I get it! You mean the afternoon session----- Yes, it’s--- Cheer up—you can sleep late! Scene II: day after class elections in the geometry room. (Group in whispers) : I’m so glad that Tom Barnefield is our president! Did you find out who was elected secretary ? Yes. Phyllis Rodger was—and John Adams is vice-president, and Jean Soule, treasurer. Scene III : Sport Notice Pawtucket High Jayvee Football Team Undefeated Scene IV: backstage at the performance of the annual Christmas play, presented by the Sophomores to the upper classes. (Two prompters) : This is going off well, isn’t it? Yes—“One Gift Above Another —say. that could almost be used as an epithet for our class— Scene V: gymnasium at basketball practice. (Coach Morris): From now on, sophomores Rutledge and Plociak will play on the varsity team—Nice work. boys. Scene VI: stage of auditorium during assembly. (Enter Miss Bryant) : I should like to announce at this time that the Sophomore play to be given Friday, April 3, is “The Boomerang . This sparkling comedy has an excellent cast and promises to be a great success. ACT II Time: 1936-1937. Place: Pawtucket High—morning session. Characters: Juniors. [ 121 | Scene I: the first day of school. (Enter a group of Juniors) : Doesn't it feel good to be back? Yes—it’s grand to see everyone again. We're changed though—we seem so much older. Say, you're not hinting that you notice the creak when I walk? Shh—it’s from bowling. Scene II: day after class elections. (Notice on the bulletin) : Junior class officers are: President—THOMAS P. BARNEFIELD Vice-President—WALTER MclLWAIN Secretary—PHYLLIS Rodger Treasurer—GORDON ROSS Scene III: night of the Dramatic Society's first production. The Bat. (Boy and girl in the audience): Say, this is good! Yes, isn’t it? And have you noticed how many Juniors there are in the cast? Scene IV: night of the state championship play-off game between Pawtucket and St. Raphael in the P. H. S. gym. (Cries from bleachers) : Come on, Pawtucket! Fight, team, fight! A basket! A basket! One minute to play— We made it! We won!!! Hurrah! State Champs! Scene V: a week before the Junior Prom. (Enter two Juniors): The Prom is next Friday night. Jack— So? It's going to be perfect—the gym is going to be all decorated—and they've arranged a smooth orchestra—and, shh—it’s a secret, but I happen to know that there is going to be a novelty dance called Pennies From Heaven— Wait—I can resist no longer—Starch up your nightgown, Dot, we’re going to that Junior Prom. Scene VI: night of the Prom. (Committee) : What a crowd! Looks like every loyal Junior turned out— And look at the gym—would you know that under all these northern light decorations are the good old baskets that I always miss! Scene VII: corridor. (Student Council guide showing guests the building) : This is our library, and on this side our cafeteria. Isn't it perfect? This is a grand school— We know it—that's why we like to show it off. It's an honour to be the host to the Student Councils of the State. [ 122 ] Scene VIII: night of the three one-act plays. Three distinctly different plays were offered for judgment—each exciting in its own way. While the judges were making their decision, a fourth play was given. We are proud to announce that the winner, The Nine Lives of Emily, had an entire cast of Juniors—no wonder it won! Scene IX: high school pool. (Comments after the Water Pageant): What did you say the name was? Mickey’s Dream—wasn't it good? Good—that's mild! With that elaborate scenery and the music and the lights playing on the water and the snappy costumes and the excellent form swimming and—good? Why. it was wonderful, marvelous! colossal! stu Scene X: one day in May. This is Maine— Right over here. Massachusetts— Montpelier High? See Miss Read: she'll take care of you. Yes, you're right; it was the New England Drama Festival, and Pawtucket was host. Scene XI : any street. (Two boys) : Oh. look! There goes the special bus with our band and orchestra! Where are they going? To Concord this time—later they're going to Hyannis and New London the guests at their Music Festivals. Scene XII: Class day. As we sat in our seats in the balcony and watched the array of caps and gowns below us, we felt a great responsibility creep over us. These were our big brothers and sisters getting ready to leave us—to leave their beloved school. All their duties and pleasures were left to us to carry on the next year. At once we were sorry and glad to see them go, and we separated for the summer vacation with great expectation of the year to come. ACT III Time: 1937-1938. Place: P. H. S. Characters: Seniors. Scene I: the first day of school. Back to the grind! Don't be so discouraging—this year's going to be fun! Fun? Guess you didn't hear that we have to pass U. S. History in order to graduate! Scene II: excerpt from newspaper: The senior class elections were highly satisfactory to everyone concerned. Ever-popular Bill Rutledge (who is captain of the football, basketball, and baseball teams) is president: Walter Mcllwain, vice-president: Phyllis Rodger, secretary: and Elmer Blistein, treasurer. Scene III: P. H. S. athletic field during the annual Thanksgiving Day game with St. Raphael Academy—at the half. (Standing spectators) : Gosh, I’m cold! [ 123 1 Always complaining—why don’t you give some of your attention to those five girl twirlers out there? They're doing a fine bit of work despite the mud and general confusion. Yeah, I guess so. The red-and-white outfits look rather nice—gee. I’m cold —and my feet hurt, too! Scene IV: no place in particular. (Persistent Senior) : Now you must buy a ticket to Three Live Ghosts—you’ll regret it if you don’t. You'll like it a lot, I know, because the plot is swell and the cast is excellent. Please buy a ticket—it's on the—etc., etc., ad infinitum. Scene V: excerpt from the daily notices: Come one! Come all! The super-colossal Variety Show is to be given on January 14 in the school auditorium. There are to be many outstanding acts, including the Two-Man Band, the faculty melodrama, Arabella, or Villainy Foiled; tumbling by boys of the gym classes: the Glee Club, and the German Band. Scene VI: Band-Orchestra Highlights. The band and orchestra took trips to New London, Hyannis, and Burlington. Then Burlington came to Pawtucket for a joint spring concert the boys learned what it was to suffer for the art—they stood on street corners one cold day in November selling tags to make new uniforms possible they got the new uniforms, to the unbounded delight of every member of the school Scene VII: stage of the auditorium after presentation of the annual plays. (Enter one of the judges): I am happy to announce that the winner of the three one-act play contest is He Said and She Said, honorable mention for acting going to Miss Elizabeth Freeman. Scene VIII: swimming pool. Isn't it wonderful? The girls’ team is undefeated! Well, with a captain like Shirley Drummond and a swimmer like Billie Read they couldn't help going places! What about the boys' team? Gee, when Jack Ryan enters a pool, the records just tumble right down! He's broken more records all over the place! Scene IX: Slater Junior High Cafeteria. I want to thank all you people here, in behalf of the Pawtucket High Athletic Association, for turning out so splendidly tonight to do honour to our basketball team, the Rhode Island State champions and losers of the New England crown by one basket, and to our All-Stars, Rutledge, Plociak. and Gossler. Scene X: backstage on the night of the Senior Play. (Members of the cast) : Nervous? Not yet, but I will be—hope I can remember my 2yi lines. The auditorium is filling up— What do you expect? When the Pawtucket High Senior Dramatic Society puts on a Broadway hit like Stage Door—that's sumth'n! Scene XI (a) : corridors of the high school on the night of graduation—seniors filing into place. The last night—the last time we'll be all together— Oh bosh—don't be so sentimental. If this night had come three years ago it wouldn't have been too soon for me! [ 124 ] Oh, you! I loved it—every minute of it—and I'm sorry that the end has come— Well, it was nice when you think of it—we had good times and bad times and fun and trouble—say, now you have me feeling sad! (b): auditorium on the same night. (Two parents in the farthest corner of the balcony): Can you see Jean yet? She said that she'd be on the stage among the other members of the Honor Society— No, I can’t see her—heavens, what a mob! Remember when we were seniors, dear? How we looked forward to opening the sleepy world’s eyes? Yes. I remember—we felt just as Jean does now. She is so full of dreams and ambitions— Oh, there she is! There she is over there— Scene XII: the Gym transformed into a scene of loveliness on the night of the Senior Reception. (The graduating seniors, also transformed): I told you there would be a crowd— And now I believe you— Doesn't the gym look lovely? Certainly does—so do you, beautiful. Come on. let's dance EPILOGUE From this beloved and respected senior high school went, in the spring of 1938, a multitude of young men and women to the far corners of their country seeking higher education or work. Ambitious young people were these, endowed with the charm and poise of American youth, and touched with just that bit of worldly-wisdom that characterizes high school graduates.

We hold these truths to be self-evident:— that we are of sound and disposing mind and memory: that we hereby revoke all other and former wills, testaments, and codicils by us at any time made: and that although the cynicisms of mankind compel men to gaze with jaundiced eye at Danaos et dona feren-tes”, nevertheless, the cupidity, the avarice, and the greed which they posses render them nothing loath to accept any pittance, however small. In realization thereof, we. The Class of 1938. do hereby give, devise, will, and bequeath: First : To our esteemed Principal, Alfred J.

Seventh: To Mr. William W. Lee. Jr., revered expounder of mathematical analysis: All the gray hairs which this classbook board has grown by its weary efforts to make contact between Mr. Van Dale and those members of the class who deemed themselves unworthy of having striking resemblances of themselves embossed upon the well-known glossy parchment, to cover that portion of his cranium from which the flexible outgrowth of his epidermis is noticeably receding. [ 132 ] Eighth: To Mr. Herbert E. Wolfe, Instructor of Chemistry: One small bottle of brass polish to be used for the sole purpose of polishing that charm which dangles so alluringly from his watch chain, awarded for exceptional aptitude and achievement in scholarly endeavors, known far and wide as a Phi Beta Kappa Key. Ninth: To the teachers of this venerable institution, individually and collectively: That great and resounding PHOOIE which we were desirous of uttering many, many times in our sojourn here at Pawtucket High School, but which we felt inclined to restrain until this momentous hour when we were well guarded by these massive sheets of sheepskin. Tenth: To all future classbook board business managers: One copy of the fiery invective hurled by our Business Manager, Herbert Katz, against all members of this board, who, either for some reasonable excuse, or by simple neglect failed not only to meet the advertiser, but to make him ours.

HOPE, and CHARITY: To future classbook boards: that FAITH which certainly must have been ours to publish a classbook in spite of the obstacles and barriers which we have encountered since last Christmas. To our teachers: The futile HOPE of again having for their learned instruction a class as well versed in bluffability and so thorough in laxity as was the unprecedented class of 1938. To Mr. Maxwell W. Read. Capitalistic Director of Athletics: CHARITY to replenish his bankroll which suffered so nobly for a lost cause.

Thomas P. Barnefield Elmer M. Blistein [ 133 ] Student Council THE Student Council adopted several new measures this year in order that it might better adapt itself to the needs of the school. The officers chosen were as follows: Thomas Barnefield. president: Phyllis Rodger, vice president: Arlene Dawson, secretary: Robert Holland, treasurer. Robert Knapp was sent as delegate, with Arlene Dawson and Lorna Cooke as alternates, to the state student government meetings at Cranston. Westerly, and Cumberland. The most interesting meeting was at Westerly, when the Cranston group, which is more or less the mother of Rhode Island high school councils, gave a model meeting. It showed how its different departments, among which is a student-court, has almost entirely taken over the discipline and routine operation of the school. Thomas Barnefield was president of the State Council made up of delegates from most of the Rhode Island high schools. This year the council raised two hundred dollars toward the purchase of an amplifying system and a motion picture machine to further visual education. Bob Holland headed the money-raising committee, which sold candy and ice cream at the basketball games and in the lunch room. The council supervised the cleaning of lockers the second week in April, as it had done the previous year. It aided Dr. Crosby in providing for spring assemblies, and boosted the sale of class rings and pins. It voted that the Managers' Club be represented at the meetings. The Student Council, with the help of excellent advice from Miss Nellie V. Donovan, Miss Sigrid Eames, and Mr. Fred J. Gregory, is truly fulfilling its purpose of aiding Pawtucket High in raising the morale of the student body as well as furthering school spirit. Lorna Cooke r H71 H; Y CLEAN Sports, Clean Speech. Clean Scholarship, Clean Living, — these standards exemplify the spirit with which the members of the Pawtucket Hi-Y Club began the season of 1937-38. The year's program arranged by the executive committee was both extensive and varied. Programs including news of the business world, current events, and social problems were presented, studied, and discussed. Among the speakers entertained during the year were Dr. Ralph O. Harpole, Kenneth S. Dale, and John H. Lehman, state Hi-Y head, who was chief speaker at the club's annual Good Friday breakfast. Plans were made to send three delegates from Pawtucket to the most important event of the year, the National Hi-Y Congress at Berea, Kentucky, which assembles during the latter part of June. Robert Knapp, Warren Smith, and George Blease were chosen to represent the local club. Pawtucket High baseball schedules were printed, and a dance, the highlight of the Club's social season, was held at the Y. M. C. A., May 27, to offset the expense of this undertaking. Happy to relate, both events were crowned with success. Hi-Y especially distinguished itself this year by its splendid cooperation with the Pawtucket Business Men's Association when it sponsored a program presented during the Association's Make Pawtucket Better drive. More laurels were won when Malcolm MacKenzie. local vice president, was elected president of the Narragansett Council of Hi-Y Clubs, a union comprising over twenty organizations. After experiencing such a highly successful year, we, as seniors, express to future mem bers the wish that they uphold the traditions of Hi-Y, the oldest club in the school, and that they may “Create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the high standards of Christian character.” James Croivshaiv [ 138 | Student Cl UD THE tradition that the Student Club is one of the most popular clubs for the girls of the Pawtucket Senior High School was shown in the record membership of ninety-five girls for 1937-1938. The year has been a very successful and enjoyable one for the members of Student Club, the Girl Reserves. The program for the year was planned by the cabinet, which is composed of the officers of the club. Under the guidance of Margery Kendall, the Younger Girls' Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., the activities varied educationally and socially. Among them were a joint meeting of the members of Student Club with those of the Hi-Y, at which community problems were discussed: the hostel trip to points north; a visit to Ladd Observatory, and the Faculty Tea. At the mid-winter Girl Reserve conference at the New Bedford Y. W. C. A., the Student Club was represented by a large delegation. The girls enjoyed the day, listening and discussing community problems and visiting the historical places of the city. Delegates were also appointed to the summer Conference in Connecticut. During the Thanksgiving season, the Student Club, with the splendid cooperation of the students of the school, was able to give many needy families their Thanksgiving dinners. Likewise during the Yuletide season the children of the Day Nursery were given a party, at which happiness reigned. Also during the course of the year dances, wiener roasts, hikes, speakers, and skating parties made each Tuesday afternoon enjoyable for the members. The annual May Breakfast, which the juniors prepare for the seniors, although successful, brought the realization that the club days were drawing to a close. The candle-light initiation ceremony at the Mother and Daughter Banquet put the leadership of the Student Club for the year 1938-39 into the hands of the seniors-to-be At the same time the coveted Girl Reserve rings were awarded to those who had earned them. To the old and the new members the seniors of the Student Club extend their sincerest wishes for a successful and enjoyable year in '39.

Rome, and Paris. Our “Cultural Review , entirely written in English and issued monthly at Browr University, has won notable commendation as indicated by the several letters received from writers, high school principals, and college presidents. Two Universities, in their respective publications, have called the attention of their readers to our “Cultural Review”.

Since Cranston High was the only other school in the state that had such a club, we wrote to their organization, the Green Key . They sent us their constitution. some helpful suggestions, and their best wishes on our new venture. With the help of Cranston’s constitution we drew up our own. We elected officers that would hold office the rest of that year and the next. Charles Oswald was elected president, George Kingston vice-president, and Rodney Cochran secretary-treasurer. At the end of the school year we had approximately fifteen managers. With the re-opening of school came the increase in the membership of the Managers’ Club. Mr. Max Read, our faculty adviser, gave us full control of all athletic managers in the school. Thus, if some managers are deadwood . we have a formal vote on whether or not to dismiss them from the club. We held several meetings and organized a membership committee to see that only the best of boys came into the organization. We arranged a program of three basketball games to get money to buy our new jackets. Pawtucket Night , as it was called, was set for Saturday, January 29, 1938. At this time the band was campaigning for some money for new uniforms, so out of generosity on our part we decided to split 50-50 with them on the proceeds. In the opening game, before a crowd of 600. the Senior girls came from behind to beat the Junior girls 30-19. In the next game the Dramatic Society gave a last minute scoring thrust to nose out the Band 13-12. The feature game between the Managers and the Faculty was close all the way. with first the Faculty and then the Managers taking over the lead. In the last two minutes of play Jack Reed of the Faculty scored the winning basket, and the final score was 24-22. With our part of the gate receipts we bought eleven new red jackets and the Faculty new suits. One of the features of the club this year was the privilege of being represented in the Student Council through our president. Charles Oswald I H5 ] Banking U A PENNY saved is a good example for xY. the other 99 cents This, the motto which appears on the cover of everyone's School Savings bank book, is a perfect illustration of the thrift for which the banking cashiers strive every Tuesday morning. These Unsung Heroes , under the guidance of Miss Murray, have endeavored to maintain the high average which Pawtucket High has held for many years. The senior class has cooperated to help keep up this reputation. A survey was made of the banking records of the members of the senior class, and the results were most enlightening. For this year an approximate sum of $17,000 was banked by pupils of the whole school, and about $6,000 by those of the senior class alone. Cask lers Other facts gleaned from these reports were that most of the seniors saved for worthwhile purposes: higher education, purchase of musical instruments, graduation expenses, the proverbial rainy day , etc. Some saved merely to keep up the school average, and these we wish to thank and congratulate for their fine spirit. Perhaps the most interesting thing in the survey was that out of more than six hundred students only thirty had no school savings account. To the banking cashiers of rooms attaining a year’s average of 70% went Honor Banking Certificates on Class Day. These students deserve every praise that we can give them for their untiring efforts and splendid results. Good luck to their successors!

Barnefield Editor Elmer M. Blistein Vol. XXX June, 1938 No. 35849562 THE BAT HUGE SUCCESS Latest Opening Audience in Many Years Attends December 15. 1 936. The Pawtucket Senior High School Thespians rang up the curtain last night on what promised to be an aesthetically and financially successful season. Their first production, the familiar old melodrama. The Bat', was enjoyed by an audience of about 750 persons, the largest audience to see an opening play in the last few years. It was truly a night of horrors that was witnessed: Ouija boards did tricks: screams reechoed throughout the audito rium: lights went on and off as if by magic: doors opened in a weird manner: bodies fell from nowhere; shots rang out — I shudder to recall. Throughout it all the mysteri-our apparition, the Bat , carried out his devilish schemes. Here was a character—a veritable rebirth of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. At times the officious. boasting detective: then, through a medium of a black mask and a flashlight, he became the terrifying criminal. THE BAT . Thomas Barnc-field gave a commendable per formance of this difficult dual role. Miss Nancy Kenyon as Lizzie, the distrought maid, furnished the comedy relief, showing remarkable ability in character impersonation. The role of Miss Cornelia Van Gor-ger. the adventurous spinster, was very well enacted by Elizabeth Freeman. An excellent cast, playing an excellent melodrama. did credit to a time-tested play and even more credit to our own Pawtucket High School Dramatic Society. MISS FLORA S. CURTIS Miss Curtis, Director of Dramatics at Pawtucket High School, whose ability and good-fellowship have won for her the gratitude and appreciation of the dramatists of the class of 1938. Truly it may be said, Dramatic Societies come and go, but Miss Curtis goes on forever . JUNIOR CAST PRESENTS WINNING PLAY Nine Lives of Emily Acclaimed by Judges Pawtucket High School Dramatists last night displayed their capabilities in the one-act play field with the presentation of four one-act plays in the high school auditorium. Nine Lives of Emily , which the judges called the best play of the program, uncovered a comedy that was played with adroitness and sparkle. This play of John Kilpatrick, which was enacted, costumed, lighted, and propertied solely by members of the junior class, made many a commentator perk up and take notice. The award of the judges was won by the audience appeal” of the comedy—and truly it did delight an audience of more than 600 enthusiasts. Miss Ruth Anne Read was acclaimed for her portrayal of the flippant daughter, while Herbert Katz and Lorna Cooke were commended for their roles of exasperated parents. Although not mentioned by the judges. Elmer Blistein and Elizabeth Freeman in no small way contributed to the general excellence of the winning play. Robert Brennan and Barbara Sprinthall made Fantastic Fight a close second in the competition by splendid per formances amid the frequent and effective blackouts of Sydney Box's unusual play. Miss Marjorie Jenks in Lost Elevator , and Eleanor Regan in Thanks Awfully , the play presented while the judges were making their decision. carried the torch of the Class of 1938 in their plays by being recognized for their acting by the judges. Never before had a junior class so dominated one-act play competition on our stage as did the dramatists of the class of 1938 in this contest.

Many play enthusiasts are seldom aware of the tremendous amount of work that a play involves. Boys who have switched lights all night, girls who have scraped and bargained for costumes and properties. boys who have tirelessly shifted scenery, and those who have worked diligently in the dressing room before the play applying makc-uo are generally taken for granted and passed by without so much as a murmur of approval or a syllable of appreciation. The success of Pawtucket High School dramatic productions can in no small way be attributed to those who have worked behind the scenes”. We remind you of the marvelous lighting which contributed so much to the appeal of The Bat”. The producing of a live bat flying around the room was not only effective, but a masterful job. In last year's three one-act plays, our Dramatic Society may point with pride to the superb staging of the plays. The triple blackout scene of Fantastic Flight , and the rising elevator in Lost Elevator” would be a credit to any amateur group, and was as much responsible for the excellence of the program as the acting itself. The costuming of Three Live Ghosts” was outstanding. Even the business manager was forced to resort to his fluency of the Yiddish vernacular to beat down” a second-hand clothing salesman for an Eng lish three button sack suit of the war-time period for Jimmie Gubbins. Although securing properties for any play was a wearisome task, the properties procured for the senior play. Stage Door”, represented the greatest amount of ingenuity and go-get-itness. The boys who have helped Mr. Hayden set up and strike sets have certainly done more than their bit. The three one-act plays necessitated a most thankless job when the curtain was drawn between plays, and the very fact that every three-act play in the past two years. Three Live Ghosts” excepted, required two sets is sufficient proof that the stage-hands” have not been idle while the audience was applauding the actors and actresses. Miss Dorothy Bryant. Director of the Sophomore Dra matic Society, and Annette Proulx. member of the class of ’38. have done a great deal of careful, intricate work in make up which has transformed many aspiring players into a wide variety of desired characters. Enough credit can never be given to those who have made the society’s plays financial successes. Securing large and appreciative audiences, arranging programs, soliciting advertisements. and trying to keep expenses down to a respectable minimum has been important and necessary work. Excellent financial statements of The Bat”, Three Live Ghosts”, and Stage Door” is stubborn proof that the business staffs have done their work and have done it well. There can be no doubt that the play's the thing”, but we must all remember that acting alone does not make it so. and there are many, many people who have worked hard for the success of the plays behind the scenes”. Vol. MCMLXXV Stagehand No. 65498732635 HE SAID SHE SAID WINS ONE-ACT PLAY CONTEST 3 LIVE GHOSTS SEASON'S OPENER December 16. 1937. The Pawtucket Senior High School Dramatic Society successfully opened its season last night with the presentation of Frederick S. Isham’s great comedy. 'Three Live Ghosts' . The general excellence of the pro duction plainly indicated to the 600 spectators that Director Flora S. Curtis had again succeeded in uncovering an able dramatic group that was the peer of any in New England. It was a well-chosen cast playing a well-chosen play that received the plaudits of an enthusiastic audience. Comedy and merriment were the main items of diet, but a pinch of real drama interspersed with a dash of love-making did their share to provide an enioyable evening. Miss Nancy Kenyon as Mrs. Gobbins portrayed the difficult Cockney role with the same adroitness and finesse that had marked her previous ap pearances in character parts. A grasping, whining old woman, she provided the necessary balance of realism, in an utterly foolish, funny, and fantastic play. The three ghosts, who proved to be verv much alive, were Thomas P. Barnefield. Harry Pogson. and John C. Adams. Mr. Barnefield. as the English lord affected by both amnesia and kleptomania, provided many humorous situa tions which delighted the audience. Mr. Pogson and Eleanor Regan furnished the serious love interest of the play, while John Adams and Barbara Sprinthall showed how the Cockneys interpret infatuation. All in all. it was a well-rounded and finished performance, with those portraying the minor roles ably supporting the leads. BUY A TICKET Miss Nancy Kenyon may well claim a record for individual ticket sale in this Dramatic Society. Her sale of 62 tickets for this season’s opener. Three Live Ghosts , we be-livc. will be envied by many a future Thespian interested in boosting the gate of some Curtis-coached production. MISS NANCY KENYON, outstanding actress, whose excellent acting has contributed so much to our successful productions. LOOKING BACKWARDS The presentation of The Potboiler recalls the days way back in ’27 when The Potboiler . then a winner, with all its cast and producing staff, as was then the custom—and an excellent one at that—hailed a pre-depression Comet’’ for New York City to let the world know that Pawtucket High School was a haven of capable dramatic artists. March 3. 10 38. In the annual Pawtucket High School Dramatic One-act Play competition last night Alice Gerstcn berg’s He Said and She Said was chosen by the judges as a production superior to the well-acted Po'boiler and the thrilling Stoker ”. Competition was extremely keen, and not until Mr. Tildcn B. Mason. Thespian alumnus of Pawtucket High School, announced the judges' award did the audience feel sure which of the plays was the winner. The award was by no means unanimous. for The Potboiler ”. also a Gerstenberg play, was deemed worthy of one third of the official vote. Miss Elizabeth Freeman was singled out of a cast of four in the winning play for special commendation on an excellent acting performance. Al- though Miss Marjorie Jenks was not individually recognized. Miss Jenks. as the carrier of gossip and vicious hear say about whom the play centers. contributed much to the appeal of the production. Miss Ruth Anne Read, playing a splendid role as wife, and John C. Adams as her husband, completed a well-rounded cast of four seniors. Harold Brighouse's The Stoker ”, with the title role ably portrayed bv Donald Dig-non. was the well-chosen lead-off play of the three play program. The plot concerns an English-educated East Indian stoker, who was determined bv preventing the arrival of his ship in Europe on the scheduled date to prove that the White race was not in any way predominant over his. the Yellow race. This play, easily the most unusual play presented by the Dramatic Society in the past few years, was indeed very timely, and hinted strongly at the sinister Japanese crisis in the Far East to the amazed and bewildered audience. Donald Dignon. the stoker, and Lorna Cooke, an anxious mother, were acclaimed by the judges. These two T hespians, with the aid of a picked cast, contributed greatly to the interest and entertainment of the evening’s program. Mr. Elmer Blistein must be highly complimented for an ex cellent portrayal of the hair-tearing. open-collared Mr. Sud in the Potboiler '. Undoubtedly the judges had in mind Blistein’s performance and that of Miss Lillian Simmons, who skillfully enacted Mrs. Pencil, when they seriously considered The Potboiler as a winner. Mr. Sud. an eminent playwright of recognized prominence. struggled through a howling rehearsal with his host of temperamental, refractory players, much to the delight of all present. Miss Priscilla Alden. who with Mrs. LaFor-est Howe was also a judge, was successful in persuading the cast of the Potboiler to play before an East Providence High School assembly on the following Wednesday. READING COMMITTEES Insomuch as your editor has had no little experience, he feels that a word or two concerning the trials and tribulations of our Dramatic Society's reading committees would not at all be out of order. Herein lies the reason for the Dean’s Office forever being cluttered up with irritated and disgusted Thespians. Herein also lies the reason for the boisterous battle of adverbs and adjectives which may be heard from across the corridor in 103, and the churlish chatter which inevitably accompanies the selection of every play. If the reader could only steal a glance into the Dean's inner closet and spy the stacks of plays that line the shelves, he would better be able to understand the terrific task which awaits the downcast committee members. Truly being on a reading committee is the most thankless of all jobs that must be done in preparation for a dramatic production. One meets cajolery and bargaining in its basest form. Cut-throat tactics are always practiced by the more ambitious members who see in some play a part that just suits them. Girls are the worst offenders. In fact, on these committees many an innocent play-lover has been warped into a scheming. designing role-seeker. Reading committees are fast becoming hotbeds of corruption. Punches are not pulled: words are not minced: and even Miss Curtis is heard from. If. by any stretch of the imagination, the reader can picture five, or even ten. committee members who have read dozens and dozens of plays agreeing on any one of them for production. he has defied the elements and won. It never has been done, and unless some unprecedented quirk of fate is destined to overtake future reading committees, it never will be done. However, in spite of all this declamatory propaganda, tribute must be paid to the cagey give-and-take talk of the committees, for one question will forever linger to haunt the peaceful memory of your editor— Whatever would have happened to Pawtucket’s Dramatic Society if some of the plays that were seriously considered in committee had ever been selected and produced? Vol. MCDLXVII Stagehand No. 8374659264 “STAGE DOOR” CLIMAX OF BRILLIANT SEASON When the final curtain rang down last night on the Senior Dramatic Society’s production of 'Stage Door , it marked the conclusion of the most successful season, both histrionically and financially, that the Society has ever enjoyed. The play itself, written by the renowned play-writing team of Edna Fcrbcr and George S. Kaufman, proved to be a fitting vehicle for the Class of ’38’s star-studded dramatic society. It was a difficult presentation for an amateur group to at tempt, but every member of the large cast played it to the hilt, displaying an amazing competence in every phase of dramatic endeavor that was thoroughly appreciated by the largest audience ever to witness a Senior play. The Footlights Club, a boarding house for girls of the theatre, was the scene and the girls’ hopes, dreams, successes. and failures formed the bulk of the intriguing story. The co-plot concerned itself with the everpresent Broadway question: Should an actress succumb to the lure of easy money offered in motion pictures. or remain true to her first love, the legitimate stage?” Through Terry Randall, the lead of the play, the audience received a very clear conception of this problem. Terry had been subjected to every rebuff known to the theatre. For three years she had tramped Broadway, ever seeking the elusive wisp, stardom. For three years she had tried in vain to get a chance to display her ability. For three years she had subsisted on a few bit parts, a short-term radio job. and finally as a salesgirl in Macy’s. In the interim she had had a screen test: it proved successful. Here at last was her big chance, but Terry turned it down, more determined than ever to achieve her success on the stage. She docs remain firm in her inten- tion and finally gets her chance. Nancy Kenyon, as Terry, really gave a remarkable performance. and to her the success of the performance is due in no small way. She ran the gamut of emotions, not from A to B as Miss Dorothy Parker w'ould have it. but from A to Z. Miss Kenyon’s performance would have gone for naught, however, were it not for the splendid support she received from the rest of the cast. Elizabeth Freeman was outstanding in her role of Jean Maitland, the girl who did go Hollywood. as were Ruth Read as Judith. Barbara Sprinthall as Kaye. Marjorie Jenks as Mrs. Orcott. and all the rest of the girls in the Footlights Club—Louise Grundy. Gertrude Fruit. Eleanor Regan. Lillian Simmons. Marie Garland. Lorna Cooke. Alice Gea netty. Ellen Kimball. Elizabeth O'Connor. Phyllis Rodger. Elsie Sherman. Mildred Briden. Marjorie Huntington. Florence Northcott. and June Pierce. Harry Pogson gave an excellent characterization of the role of a left-wing playwright who sacrifices all his ideals to attain success. Thomas Barnefield was excellent as David Kingsley, the motion picture producer, and the same may well be said for every other member of the cast —Miss Lillian Cokin. Earl Mathewson. Harry Prince. Fred Hancock. Herbert Katz. Elmer Blistein. William Nellor. James Crowshaw. Malcolm MacKcn-zie. and Royston Cochran. The Dramatic Society chose wisely when they presented Stage Door as their Senior Play. The cast was large, it is true, but it allowed many seniors who had talents hitherto undiscovered to display their abilities. The play was excellent, the acting superb, the staging perfection even unto the slightest technicality, and. in-cidently. it was a financial sue cess. All in all. Stage Door” was a fitting climax to two years of dramatic endeavors by the Class of '38.

Wiggin, the ’37-’38 Band has had a most successful year. The first trip was a pre-season tour, sponsored by Mr. Frank Crook, to South Bend Indiana. Never will any one of the twenty-five fortunate boys privileged to accompany the Rhode Island delegation to the Stude-baker Convention forget the sights and the fun and frolic of that memorable trip. Memories of South Bend, Ashtabula. Cleveland, and. above all, Niagara Falls, will linger forever. A special unit of the band, the Football Band, made its initial public appearance at the Pawtucket High School's opening gridiron tilt with Rogers High School, where the group staged fancy drills and played during the halves. The annual fall concert, which was designed especially for the benefit of the new uniform fund, was held in December. In March the first of a series of local radio concerts at the Frank Crook Incorporation was inaugurated by the High School Band. During the latter part of the sam ’ month twenty-three boys were sent to New London, Connecticut, to the New England Band Festival. Here Norman Hall, a mem ber of the graduating class and the sole clarinetist of our unit, held the most coveted position of concert-master. On Sunday. April 10. our Band gave a joint concert with Barnstable High School at Hyannis. Massachusetts. At the return concert our boys donned their new red-and-white military uniforms for the first time. The annual State Festival was held on May 14. in Central Falls. The New England Festival at Burlington. Vermont, the following week, was the climax to the long but eventful program of 1937-1938. Here in the picturesque hills of Vermont overlooking the clear and blue waters of beautiful Lake Champlain the lads in red-and-white met with great success. Yes. the Band certainly did work hard— tag days, house-to-house canvassings, and the countless practice sessions—yet it was worth all our toil. Now as we begin to realize sorrowfully that it is about over, we know we shall never forget that “good ole Band”, and, above all, our able leader and true friend, Mr. Paul E. Wiggin. Keram Chobanian [ 154 j o rchestra U H, the music goes 'round and ’round may well be a theme song for our Pawtucket Senior High School Orchestra, for its members certainly have been around. And wherever they go. music goes with them. A part of the orchestra first appeared in October in the musical comedy, “Step This Way”, which was sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. The organization did not appear as a whole until December, when they and the band gave their annual fall concert. The members showed their ability by playing such a difficult number as Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, which was very well received by the audience. In December a group went to New Bedford to hear the National Symphony Orchestra. After hearing this marvelous symphony they came home inspired with new ideas and fresh energy. Some of the orchestra members were fortunate enough to be chosen to go to New London in March to be a part of the orches- tra which was composed of high school pupils from all of New England. Their visit lasted four days, and they enjoyed every minute of it. The first All-State Orchestra was formed in April. Many of our players in the orchestra as well as in the band had the honor to be in it. For their second appearance in Pawtucket our musical organization gave a joint concert with the Barnstable High School Orchestra of Hyannis. Massachusetts. We are now looking forward to attending the Rhode Island Music Festival in Central Falls and the All-New England Music Festival in Burlington. Vermont, where we hope to win new honor ratings. Thus, under the expert leadership of their understanding director, Mr. Paul E. Wiggin. the school year of 1937-1938 has been educational and enjoyable, and will never be forgotten by the graduating orchestra members. Olga Cymbalista [ 155 ] Glee CU DIRECTED by Miss Miriam Hosmer, the Glee Club has completed its sixth consecutive year of activity, and has succeeded in furthering a taste for good music throughout the school. The officers elected at the beginning of the year were Lorna Cooke, president: George Rennex, vice president: Emily Weaton, secretary: George Dubois, treasurer. Jean Soule capably performed the duties of librarian. During the year the club sang at the Variety , the P. T. A. Fashion Show, and at an assembly in Music Week. The school heartily applauded the popular selections sung by George Dubois and Isabelle Carruth, and marveled at the finished performance of John Orr. The season was brought to a fitting close with the four-day trip to New London, Connecticut, where twenty members attended the New England Music Festival and had the privilege of singing under the leadership of Dr. Walter Butterfield. This is the largest number ever to represent a Rhode Island school at one of these festivals. The students left the school in buses, and the fun riding there was nothing compared with our gaiety in the town. It will be a long time before the members forget the experience. A committee consisting of Arthur Booth. Jean Soule, and Elvery Lingard was in charge of the dance given May sixth. The proceeds enabled the club to give pins to the seniors who had been members three years. The second week in June the club held a cake sale in Shartenberg’s store. Esther Soule. June Pierce, Jean Soule, Louis Wen-del. and Arthur Booth were the committee in charge. The profits from the sale went toward the purchase of robes. The Class of ’38 sincerely hopes that the Glee Club will always remain one of the popular activities in Pawtucket High. Lorna Cooke f 156 1 I1 ootball THE 1937 edition of Pawtucket’s football team reached its greatest heights since the days of ’32, when the Redjackets were captained by ’’Hank” Soar. ”Pard Pearce coached a squad of four complete teams, the largest and most able squad ever handled by the school’s mentor. The success of the team can be attributed to the abundance of football talent. Although Pawtucket did not win the Class A title, they finished in second place, showing a steady climb over a period of years from the cellar of the league in 1933 to second place this year. Excellent football was played throughout the entire year by Captain Bill Rutledge, Henry Gossler, Walter Mcllwain. Rodney Cochran, Norman Max, and George Kingston. Walter Mcllwain, Bill Rutledge, and Hank” Gossler were placed by many newspapers on their mythical All-State team. These three, along with Norman Max. Joe Danserau. Rodney Cochran, and George Kingston, were placed on the All-Blackstone-Valley team. Joe Danserau, a junior who played an important part in the team’s success, is captain-elect of the 1938 football team. The Pawtucket High team started its football season with a bang by scoring a 19-14 upset over the strong Rogers Club of Newport. With Pawtucket’s shifty backfield reeling off yard after yard on line plunges, the Redjackets marched seventy-five yards to their first score. Rutledge converted for the extra point. In the second half Pawtucket again started off the fireworks. Gossler received the kick-off on his own ten-yard line [ 158 | and ran the ball back to his own forty-five. That thirty-five-yard run back was one of the shining spots of the game. From the forty-five-yard line the Redjackets again started to amass yardage which ended in another touchdown. In the third quarter Rogers came to life and scored two touchdowns and two conversions. With Pawtucket trailing 14-13, Hank'- Gossler scored the winning touchdown with but a few minutes to play. The Redjackets then followed up this victory with a 7-0 victory over Central. This game was marked by the sensational seventy-six yard run to a touchdown by Joe Danserau. and the conversion by Hank” Gossler. This great feat of broken field running was accompanied by some great blocking by George Kingston. For the first time in 1937 the Pawtucket High team met defeat when the Redjackets went down before the undefeated State Champions, Cranston, by a 14-0 score. The two teams fought on even terms for the first half; then the Cranston team, capitalizing on breaks, scored twice. Not discouraged by this loss, the Redjackets beat Hope 7-0 for the first time in five years. The greater part of the game was played in the enemy territory. Three times in as many quarters the Hope team showed their power by making goal line stands. Three times the Redjackets were within the enemy ten-yard line only to lose the ball on downs. Success could not be denied the Redjackets any longer. After working the ball within striking distance of the goal line and with time growing short, Hank Gossler tossed a thirty-five-yard pass to Max on the end zone for the only score of the game. Gossler also converted for the extra point. Still fighting hard and ever mindful of a possible state title, the Rea jackets trimmed East Providence 6-0 in a closely contested game. The East Provi- dence team and the Pawtucket team played each other in a sea of mud and under a terrific downpour. Both teams, handicapped by the condition of the field, used only power plays and did not take to the air. Hank” Gossler starred and went over the line in the first period for the only score of the game. In the try for the extra point the kick was blocked by the East Providence left-guard. Protecting this slim lead, the Red-jackets' goal line was never seriously threatened. On the open date in the school's schedule, the Redjackets engaged an alumni team for the first time in many years. Fntering the game as the under-dogs, the Redjackets set the Alumni back on their heels. For the second time in two weeks ''Hank” Gossler was hero. Mixing aerials with line “bucks”, the Redjackets brought the ball down to the enemy's three-yard line. Then “Hank” Gossler tore the enemy apart to score under a deluge of bodies. Hank scored the Pawtucket touchdown after handling the ball for eight successive line smashes . He carried the ball forty yards on the eight plays, averaging five yards a crack . Then defeat, at the hands of La Salle, came upon Pawtucket for the second and last time. A matter of a single but highly important conversion, or point after, told the story. In a dog-eat-dog battle the La Salle team bested Pawtucket 7-6. This was the last league game of the 1937 grid year for the Redjackets. Only one game remained to be played before closing the football books of 1937. This was the annual Turkey Day Classic between St. Raphael's Academy and the Redjackets. Playing before a crowd of approximately 7,500 people, the largest crowd ever to witness a Pawtucket team in action on the home field, the Pawtucket team edged a 7-6 win over the fighting Purple and Gold. Pawtucket scored her only touchdown on a [ 159 ] beautifully blocked kick by Gossler, which rolled over the St. Raphael goal line and was covered by Norman Max for a touchdown. Then Gossler with his educated” toe scored the winning point. This was the last point scored by Gossler. as he. along with Captain Rutledge. Hadfield. Mcllwain. Kelly, Kingston, Crompton, and Cochrane played their last game for their alma mater. This victory was marred by the team’s only major casualty of the year. Three minutes before the end of the game Captain Bill Rutledge broke his leg. Captain Bill had played the greater part of every ball game this season. With several veterans returning next year and with the entire squad of the undefeated Sophomore club annexed, Pard Pearce has something to work with, and we hope for greater things in 1938.

MORRIS 1928-1938 Builder oj Teams and of Men « (c Cc Robert bruce morris, beloved coach of basketball at Pawtucket High School, was born November 3, 1902, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, of a prominent family. He received his elementary education in Scranton and was graduated from Taylor High School, where he distinguished himself in football and basketball. Before entering college, Mr. Morris coached the same Taylor High School team to a district basketball championship. Even the first time Bob tried coaching he was successful! After this year of coaching he entered the East Stroudsburg Teachers College, where he wrote his name upon the books of the college “greats”, winning in four years of collegiate competition thirteen letters in football, basketball, track, and baseball. Mr. Morris served in the capacity of basketball captain for two years, an honor very rare in collegiate circles. During these two years the team was recognized as one of the most competent collegiate teams on the Atlantic Seaboard. Pawtucket High School’s mentor was graduated from East Stroudsburg Teachers College in 1924 with a Bachelor of Science degree. He then entered New York University, hotbed of superior basketball teams in the East. At this college he received a Master of Arts degree from the School of Education, and also picked up many of the finer points of basketball which he has since passed on to his great teams. In 1928 Coach Morris came to Pawtucket to blaze the name of our basketball teams across the headlines of every New England newspaper. In these ten years our basketball representatives have won six Rhode Island State Championships, all of them in the last eight years. The Morrismen have piled up 198 wins against 53 losses, a record which no other school can boast of, or even approach. Two of these State Championship tea-have been fianlists in the New England Tournament. Both times Pawtucket was defeated, though we still have the consolation of being as great in defeat as our conquerors have been in victory. Of all the great Morris-coached basketball players, the Class of 1938 is best acquainted with their own Co-Captains, “Billy” Rutledge and “Eddie” Plociak. and “Hankus-Pankus” Gossler. all-New England choices of many of the sports writers at this year’s tournament in Providence. Many Pawtucket High School basketball men have come to occupy the limelight in the last eight years, and have continued. and will continue to dominate the basketball world of New England as a fitting testimonial to their coach in high school, Robert Moris. The fine records made by Redjacket” teams will forever stand as a monument to the greatness of Mr. Morris, and the graduates of Pawtucket High School, past, present, and future, will ever hold in reverence the name of Robert Bruce Morris, Builder of Teams and of Men. Herbert Katz 163 | Basketball ANOTHER year and another Rhode Island State Basketball championship for Pawtucket! Under the masterful coaching of Bob Morris, the Redjacket aggregation hung up one of the most impressive records this state has ever seen. This year's team was especially popular throughout the state because of its speed and ability to come from behind and turn on the heat” to win impossible games. With only one veteran left from last year's championship team, Mr. Morris built a very spirited club, which, at the first of the season, was considered mediocre and the dark horse” in the interscholastic race. As the season progressed, its true worth was easily seen, and we were soon recognized as the champions we were. It is the custom at Pawtucket High School for the basketball team to take a road trip through New England to play three or four games with out-of-town ball clubs to give the boys a taste of fine basketball, the type of basketball they are likely to meet in R.hode Island's Class A league. On this pre-season trip the Redjackets traveled to Fitchburg, Mass., where they handed the team of that city a 40-20 trouncing. The following day the team went to Willimantic to play Windham High School of that city. Here we suffered a 24-23 setback in two overtime periods. After this game Pawtucket came home to engage their alumni team, which they defeated 45-37. The following week the Red-jackets took a short trip to Brockton to hand the Shoemakers a 32-25 tanning.” Home again to open the league schedule, the Pawtucket quintet overwhelmed Hope High 34-19. Following this encouraging start, the Redjackets won ten consecutive league games before being beaten 31-27 by De La Salle. This game was played before a capacity crowd. This was the only defeat of the [ 164 | league schedule for the Redjackets” and showed to the general public that we were far superior to every other team in the Class A League, beating Woonsocket 40-21, East Providence 27-18. De La Salle 26-23, Cranston 42-17. Central 31-28. Rogers 3.2-26, La Salle 33-23, Hope 53-29, Woonsocket 42-33, East Providence 27-24, Cranston 27-21, Central 24-23, Rogers 34-24. and La Salle 41-24. In the second Hope game, in which Pawtucket scored 53 points, they set a high-water mark in scoring. By winning the Class A title. Pawtucket qualified to meet their old rival, Central Falls in a two-out-of-three series for the Championship of Rhode Island. The contests were played at the Rhode Island Auditorium before the largest school-boy crowds ever to witness a state Championship play-off. The Redjackets” were victorious, taking the title in two straight contests, one of which ran overtime and was a thriller from start to finish. This contest brought together two very evenly matched teams, but Pawtucket’s indomitable fighting spirit carried them to victory. The spectacular shooting and passing of both teams won the favor of the crowd. In both games Pawtucket came from behind in the last oeriod to show their true colors. After this series the general public recognized the Redjackets of 1938 as one of the most competent teams ever to take the floor for the school. They had all that a championship team ought to have: color, stamina, speed, accuracy in passing and shooting, and above all the “will to win.” The shooting and passing of the ball by Bill Rutledge and Hank” Gossler in the backcourt was a major factor in winning the series. Eddie Plociak played his usual stellar game as center. The forwards. Allard. Atkins, Shannan. and Mc-llwain. brought the crowd to its feet time and time again by their spectacular shots. A1 Bernadine turned in a beautiful relief role and was an important cog in the well-oiled state championship team. Harry Pogson, a regular the greater part of the season, was of con- siderable help to Mr. Morris as a relief man in the backcourt. By winning the title the Redjackets qualified to represent the state of Rhode Island in the New England tournament at Brown University. Pawtucket entered the tournament as a threat to any team competing. On the first night Pawtucket showed its brand of basketball by defeating Chelsea High School. On the following night the Redjackets” entered the semi-finals and met the Westfield team which was considered the best in the tournament. “We met the enemy and they were ours —Pawtucket 43. Westfield 29. Tn this game the “Redjackets played their best basketball of the year. By the ovation given to the Pawtucket team when it left the floor after the game, it was clearly seen that the Redjackets were the most popular team of the tournament. Pawtucket then entered the finals against Manchester High School of Connecticut. After protecting a lead for three periods, the Redjackets went down to defeat 28-26. The game was played before a record crowd which showed by the generous applause that they were with Pawtucket. Three of Pawtucket’s “favorite sons”, Eddie Plociak, Hank Gossler. and A1 Bernadine. were honored with a place on the mythical All-Blackstone Valley Team. Co-Captain Eddie Plociak was placed on the All-State team. By the consensus of opinion of the thirty sports writers attending the New England Basketball Tournament. Hank” Gossler. Eddie Plociak. Eddie Allard, and Bill Rutledge were chosen for the All-New England Team. Bill Rutledge was the only player in the tournament who was chose unanimously for any position. A few weeks after the New England Tour nament the Redjackets were tendered a banquet by the City of Pawtucket. This was attended by more than four hundred fifty people, all of whom were loyal supporters of the team. The letter-men were given jackets by the Pawtucket High School Athletic Association and all the members of the squad were f 165 1 given trophies by the City of Pawtucket Coach Bill Morris received several well-deserved gifts from the players of the team anc' his many admirers. Many of the players who saw action this year are juniors, and it is expected that they will form the nucleus for another champion- ship team next year. With many fine prospects from the Junior Varsity annexed to his veteran juniors, we sincerely hope that the 1939 team will carry on the basketball tradition of Pawtucket. Herbert Katz R. Henry Gossler THATJ Vi Hat you THINK f 166 1 193ft (I.I.INTER.SCHOLASTIC BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS r d HUNN E H3-UP in the N.E.CHAM PIONSHIP ♦ i ♦ Boys Swimming Team JUSTLY proud of its 1938 swimming team is Pawtucket High School. Not content with being co-champions of Rhode Island, the Redjacket mermen were runners-up to Providence Central for the New England schoolboy crown. With few exceptions the team was composed of veterans from the 1937 team. Facing a difficult schedule of over twenty meets. Max Read's proteges began a merciless onslaught on all existing records. Not only were there but four meets on this schedule which were exempt from record-breaking events, but there was not a pool record made by former P. H. S. swimmers that was not broken by our team in this memorable season. Led by Captain Jack Ryan, the following boys accounted for new marks in the course of the year: George Dennett, John Douglas, Warren Smith. Ray Van Dale, Charlie Tait, Robert Perry, Edwin Baron, and Ray Du-reault. The sport columns of the local newspapers have been full of accounts of these remarkable record-smashing meets. To tell about all the new pool marks would fill p'ges. but it is impossible to overlook the meteoric career of our greatest star. Jack Ryan. Specializing in the two-hundred-yard free style. Captain Jack consistently lowered pool records everywhere for this event until he reached the unbelievably low mark of two minutes, two seconds flat. The only two teams to defeat Pawtucket in dual meets during the regular season were the Ionic Avenue Boys’ Club at Worcester— whom the Redjackets had easily swamped. 40-26, here—and St. George's of Newport— who won by a two-point margin after our medley relay team was disqualified. When the regular season was completed, two dual meets with Providence Central were held to decide the state chamoionship. After dropping the first meet at Central, the Red-jackets came back strong in their home pool and defeated Central. 36-30. Although a co-championship was decided upon. Max Read tried in vain to procure a deciding meet. Besides participating in an exceptionally large number of dual meets, the Pawtucket [ 168 ] natators took part in various interscholastic contests. Traveling to Harvard for the high school division of competition, the P. H. S. boys captured third place with the large total of nineteen points. Entered in the New England interscholastic meet at Gardner, Mass. Pawtucket finished second to Central and totaled twenty-seven points. In the Brown interscholastic meet the high school trailed only Central and gathered twenty-five points. The last big meet was held at the Pawtucke' pool, where the N'w England A. A. U. meet took place. At this time the local free-style relay team broke the two-hundred-yard A. A. U. record and thus closed the season in a blaze of glory. During the past year the boys had little difficulty in their numerous dual contests. As a matter of fact, outside of the few casualties mentioned before, the team met little resistance from any rival except the local Alumni, whom we barely nosed out. It is doubtful if Max Read can look back on any team's record with more pride than the 1938 boys’ swimming team. Not one member of the team but was an outstanding competitor. Adding only two new members, Tait and Douglas. Coach Read built his crack team around last year's veterans. Even though the great ability of this year's crop of swimmers was a big factor in the team's success, it was through the careful coaching and patient persistence of Max Read that the splendid results were obtained. The account of this year’s swimming team would not be complete without mention of the diving of reliable Hank” Gossler, whose timely victories on the springboard settled many close contests. Graduation takes many of the foremost swimmers from the ranks, but the task of upholding our splendid record is left in the hands of such competent undergraduates as Captain-Elect Tait, Douglas. Smith and Du-reault. The best of luck to the 1939 swimming team! John Coakley CAPT. JACK RYAN Tennis WITH the bulk of the '37 team coming back this year, the tennis team of Pawtucket High School is in for a season which is bound to be more than just successful . It is felt that the boys this year will heap more glory on P. H. S. for several reasons. Among these is the acquisition of a coach. This is the first time in the history of the school that the services of a proficient and skilled tennis man have been procured. Nelson Blake, the new mentor, has for many years been prominent in Rhode Island tennis circles. The squad is headed by its stalw. co-captains, Elmer Blistein and Leo Delaney. In the school tournament held last fall, Blistein emerged the victor, edging Delaney in a closely-contested finals match. The toi nament was held on the new clay courts of the Oak Hill Tennis Club. This year the team will use the courts regularly, and a similar tournament will take place—probably after this article goes to press—with Blistein favored to defend his title successfully. While Coach Blake will use the two co-captains as a nucleus, a wealth of material is on hand from which he will develop his team. Since our intra-urban rival. Saint Raphael Academy, has forsaken tennis for golf, the task of promoting the sport scholastically falls upon the capable shoulders of P. H. S. The game has definitely taken a new lease on life in this school, and the accomplishments of our boys this year will undoubtedly maintain the respect that other teams have always had for Pawtucket High. Edivard Coakley I 170 | Golf THE Pawtucket High School golf team is composed of four players, three of whom are veterans from last year. The members on the team are Earl Anderson, Lawrence Anderson, Joseph Curry, and young Gerald Morissey. Gerald, a new player this year, is playing some good golf, and should next year be right up with the top-notchcrs. It is difficult to figure out what team or school will be the victor this year, because the teams are so evenly matched, but at the present time Pawtucket is tied for second place with Barrington, and by the end of the season we hope to be battling it out with La Salle, who now holds the lead. However, we must not forget that Pawtucket would not be where it is today if it were not for the dependable coaching of Mr. J. H. Reed. Mr. Reed is forever out on the golf course giving a few words of encouragement and telling us not to let down, but to keep plugging along. Mr. Reed has been coaching the Pawtucket High School golf team ever since the school entered golf competition, and they could not have a better fellow to coach it. Earl Anderson 171 1 Track UNDER the fine coaching of Edmund Farrell, Frank Pearson, and Charles Shea, afternoon teachers, and Jimmy Williams and Jimmy Hanna, alumni, Pawtucket this spring has had the best track team in recent years. In the inter-class meet the seniors won the fine troohy donated by the Athletic Association. The seniors scored 57.5 points to the juniors’ 37.5 and the sophomores’ 8. There was keen competition in this meet for a pair of new track shoes, the prize for the one scoring the most points. In the end, Stanley Parks nosed out David Greenwood and Norman Scawthorn to win the award. In the Hope Relay Carnival, Pawtucket placed sixth when the medley relay team of Scawthorn, Wood, Parks, and Captain Jamieson took a third, and the team of Greenwood, Yates, King, and Scawthorn placed third in the four hundred and forty yard relay. In the Rhode Island Interscholas- tics, Stanley Parks won the quarter mile and David Greenwood placed in the hundred-yard dash to give Pawtucket another sixth place. Other boys showing promise in this meet were Norman Scawthorn, John King, and John Yates in the dashes, Glen Wood in the quarter. Charles Tait, Warren Smith, and Arthur O'Sullivan in the half mile, and Henry Gossler. Alban Kelly, and Charles Webb in the field events. While we haven't broken any records, the team has been a worthy representative of our school. We sincerely feel that the sixty-five sophomores and juniors who reported for practice this year will go a long way toward putting Pawtucket track teams back where they belong, at the top of the list. Pawtucket is a heavy favorite to win the city championship and has high hopes of a successful season in 1939. Thomas Jamieson [ 172 ] Baseball ONCE again a Pawtucket High School athletic team is cutting a wide swath in the ranks of its opponents as Coach Pard” Pearce’s ' Rollicking Redjackets” go roaring toward the state championship. Boasting a string of ten consecutive victories, including seven league and three non-league tilts, the 1938 baseball nine appears destined to be the first team to capture that elusive title since 1933, when “Wilfie” Lefebvre, Holy Cross luminary, pitched and batted his to victory in the state playoffs. Led by Capt. “Billie” Rutledge, the varsity lines up as follows: “Hank” Gossler, C; “Bubbles Harrington, P: “Jibber” Smith, 1 B: “Billie” Rutledge, 2 B: “Eddie Allard, S S: “Ali-Babi” Bernadine, 3 B: “Moose” Garabian. L F: Bill Bogdan, C F: and in the right field “Lefty” Coyle, and “Tommy” Toppin, alternate. A brief resume of our list of victories only serves to impress one with the ability of the league-leading nine. St. Raphael was the first to feel the sting of defeat, falling before the onslaught of the Redjackets’ “heavy artillery”, 8-3. Hope quickly joined our list of vanquished opponents, as they fell by the wayside to the score of 10-6. Evidently “Pard” is one who believes in working his charges, for the following afternoon Attleboro visited our field and was widely repulsed, 16-3. Following the Attleboro victory, Woonsocket, Moses Brown, and Cranston were quickly “shelled by a barrage of hits into submission by scores of 10-3, 9-8, and 10-3, respectively.

On May 24th Pawtucket defeated La Salle Academy to win the Class A title with eleven consecutive victories. Girls Leaders Corps THE Girls' Leaders Corps, under the direction of Miss Martha Jones and Miss Carolyn Nachtrieb. has completed another successful year. The members were chosen because of their scholastic ability, their character, and their interest, as well as for athletic ability. Their aim was to be leaders, not only in athletics, but also in every phase of school life. Members of the club acted as squad leaders, and their duties consisted of refereeing the basketball games and taking over the class when instructors were called from the floor. Meetings were held twice a month, and at the first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Jean Eldridge '38, vice president, Virginia Cooke '39, secretary-treasurer, Justine.Tyrrel '39. The social committee consisting of Marjorie Baeny, Eleanor Euart, Doris Thornley, Ruth Lyons and Mildred Pickett arranged the social events. The Cranston Girls’ Leaders Corps invited the Pawtucket club to Cranston High School for a Play Day. A few weeks later the Pawtucket club extended the same invitation to the Cranston girls. Organized games were played in both the gymnasium and the pool, and prizes were given to the members of the winning teams. The two clubs exchanged ideas as to how their groups were run, and the suggestions which each club made were found very helpful. This is the first time that these two schools have exchanged social invitations of this nature, and we hope that in the future it will become an established custom. We leaders who are graduating this year wish to thank Miss Jones and Miss Nachtrieb for their patient guidance and helpful instruction, and to extend our best wishes to those who will carry on the ideals of this club. Jean Eldridge I 176 | (wimming Team A MAJOR sport and few competitors! That seems to be the fate of the girls’ Varsity swimming team. There may be a scarcity of teams, but those we do swim we defeat, usually, by a wide margin. Once again the team has been victorious in every meet of the season. The girls on the Varsity team are selected from the best swimmers of the interclass meets. These are held before the Varsity program gets under way. The first two were won by the Junior team. The Seniors staged a comeback in the last meet by defeating the Juniors for first place. After these meets the Varsity began their program. This year there were four meets with the last one away. Our first meet was held with the girls’ swimming team of Cranston High School, whom we badly defeated. Then followed Pembroke and Hope High. In the Hope meet one of the Hope mermaids broke a freestyle record, which was later broken in an A. A. U. meet by a member of the Olneyville Boys’ Club Auxiliary. At the Olneyville pool we defeated Cranston for a second time. There were three noteworthy seniors in those meets. Shirley Drummond, one of the best swimmers the school has ever had. was captain of the Varsity team and holds the breast-stroke record. She was also on the medley relay team. Two freestyle records and membership on the relay team is the swimming record of ’'Billie” Read, captain of the Senior team. The third girl is June Gardner, a member of the relay team. These girls and many others will be missed by next year's team. The best of luck to our successors! Barbara Peterson Girls Basketball THE most popular after-school sport for the girls is basketball, and this year about two hundred girls reported. The first few practice sessions were spent in the essential drilling under the able direction of Miss Martha Jones and Miss Carolyn Nachtrieb. Then the teams were formed and each team elected its own captain and sub-captains, who were responsible for the planning of passes and the assigning of the various positions to the players. This year there were four senior, seven junior, and ten sophomore teams, each class forming a league. Elimination games were held and the three winners of each division met to decide the champions. This honor fell to the Senior Divcos”, who were victorious over the final contestants, the Junior Discords” and the Sopho- more Redjackets”. At Pawtucket Night they made their first public appearance in competition. This game provided much excitement. as the Senior girls came from behind to win. This year the Rhode Island State Basketball Rating Committee requested that two teams be sent to the Lincoln School in Providence. These teams were to play for the benefit of girls wishing to pass the official referee test. One senior and one junior team were sent and the girls enjoyed the event very much. The games at the Pawtucket Boys’ Club afforded the girls much pleasure and friendly competition, and all regretted the closing of another enjoyable basketball season. Eleanor Euart [ 178 ] Life Saving LIFE saving was resumed this year after a lapse of three years with thirty-six senior and junior girls and twenty-nine sophomores taking the course under the capable direction of Miss Carolyn Nachtrieb. Included in the twelve-week course, consisting of one two-hour practice period a week, is every phase of rescuing a drowning person. Our first practice period was spent in undressing in the water and surface diving for weights. Following this we perfected al swimming strokes and adapted them to life saving. Our instructor demonstrated several different approaches and carries. After learning these, we mastered the various strangle, or head-holds, and the methods of breaking them. To carry a drowned person ashore, we have been taught to use the fireman or saddleback carry. We have also put much time on the correct procedure of artificial respiration. We were very fortunate in having Mr. Andrews of the Pawtucket Chapter of the Red Cross give a demonstration and lecture on resuscitation. With Mr. Andrews were three gentlemen from the Blackstone Valley Gas and Electric Company, who displayed an inhalator to us, instructed us in its use, and also presented other methods of first-aid treatment. The group was also privileged to see the motion pictures of life saving taken under water at Silver Springs, Florida, when Mr. Bachman of the National Headquarters of the American Red Cross was in Pawtucket. It is gratifying to note the interest displayed by so large a number of girls who realize the importance of this work and the possible value of their services to any community.
