Jit HI muriam Mrs. Lottie Bloomfield Carpenter Mrs. Lottie Bloomfield Carpenter, born and educated in Central Falls, a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design where she completed work in two departments — Design and Drawing and Painting, was appointed Art Supervisor for Central Falls. She loved her work and was loved by pupils and teachers. Mrs. Carpenter gave freely of her time. In fact, she would draw Christmas trees with colored chalk on the blackboards in the elementary schools and draw a present on the tree for every boy and girl, always giving the biggest and bright- est drum or doll to the littlcst and poorest child. Many prominent Rhode Island citizens remember her with warm affection today because of her interest in them as children years ago. She married Lester Carpenter of Central Falls, a veteran of World War I. In 1925. about four years after his death. Mrs. Carpenter was appointed Commercial Art teacher in the Pawtucket High Schools. Her art students won many prizes, due to the fine supervision they received. Upon the death of Maude E. Bradley in 1930. she was promoted to Art Director of the Pawtucket Public Schools, holding this position until her death February 12, 1950. Mrs. Carpenter was also Art Supervisor of the Classbook for many years. Most of us remember the colorful Physical Education Pageants which were held for many years in the McCoy stadium, but few realize the important part that Mrs. Carpenter played in these affairs. The costumes were designed by her and then made under her supervision. Mrs. Carpenter did work in designing and painting, but in 1947 she became intensely inter- ested in ceramics. For the past year she had been experimenting with glazes, trying to achieve lovely colors and color gradations. The structural design of each piece she created was always beautiful in its clean, strong lines. She felt that a bowd should be pleasing not only to the eye, but to the touch; and above all. be functional and suit the purpose for which it was designed. About one month before her death. Mrs. Carpenter was elected to the Providence Art Club on the basis of her ceramics. She anticipated retir- ing next year and devoting most of her time to this line of art. Mrs. Carpenter also worked for many years as a member of the Mothers' Aid Society of Central Falls, and as a member of the American Legion Auxiliary. With the passing of Mrs. Lottie B. Carpenter, who devoted her life to art and education and who was always an inspiration to all. her many friends, pupils, and associates in the teaching profession are saddened by this great loss. It can be said of her, Her works do follow her.

Mrs. Elizabeth T. Bartlett RETIRED 1950 Mrs. Elizabeth T. Bartlett came to the Pawtucket Senior High School in 1925, after her marriage to George W. Bartlett, Director of Manual Training and Shops in the schools of Pawtucket. Owing to the scarcity of qualified substitutes, she taught almost every subject in the curriculum of the high school and in the one year of summer school she taught Latin. Previous to 1925 she taught Latin in private schools in Washington, D. C., Baltimore, Syracuse, Worcester, Boston, and Portland. After Mr. Bartlett’s death in 1932 she was appointed a regular teacher in the Pawtucket school system in 1933. She slipped gradually into the English and his- tory departments, and in 1949 became a member of the remedial department of the East Senior High School. The students who were fortunate to receive her instruc- tion acquired a solid foundation of English and history. The school administration, faculty, and students of East Senior High School extend to Mrs. Bartlett their sincere wishes for future happiness and health.
