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.

Pri nncipai s L EACH June for a number of years I have written in the REDJACKET a simple message of salutation and counsel for the graduating class. 1 have tried not to preach, but I probably have. 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
