I 91 9 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL HARRY BERNARD BASEBALL, '18, CHAIRMAN LYCEUM MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEES, ,IQ Behold! Harry Bernard, our illustrious mathematician, chemist and Latin shark Somehow these subjects seem to be second nature to Harry and he has a habit of proving his geometry propositions according to Bernard's own method, i'Short cuts in Geometry. The Lyceum has also held quite an interest for Harry and he excels in debating. Often when he gets up to speak he makes his opponents look sick. But you must not believe that Bernard is a study bug for, on the con- trary, he has managed to drive flivvers and play baseball in his spare time. When he shoots up North Main Street Boulevard the people know enough to stop, look and listen. At baseball, he is also very clever, and hits the f'pill'l at a pretty high clip. WALTER BERNARD Attention! Take a squint at the human answer book, the walking dictionary, the intellectual phenomenon of P. H. S. And well may 'fWalt be called by these appellations of honor, for there is not a ques- tion within the limits of human knowledge that he cannot answer. He is an excellent scholar in all his subjects but he takes special delight in doping out some difficult proposition in mathematics, or in arranging some question in chemistry. Moreover, Walt,' sprung a surprise on football fans by his prowess on the gridiron last fall. He intends to take up the study of medicine after leaving us Well, 4' Walt, old boy, the best wishes of the class go w 1th you NEWELL WALCOTT BISHOP Bish believes in plodding along, and during his four years, stay with us he has quietly done so. Although Bish offers little fight to his classmates, he assaults batteries of geometry, algebra, English, French, chemistry, and history with vigor, and wins out. He tells us he has contributed to the Athletic Association, until he is nearly broke He also misses his chum, Bott, who graduated last year. HBish expects to continue his education in some college Qpossibly Brownl but he is undecided. Well, Bish, we wish you luck wherever you go. CARLTON HOLBROOR BLISS RECEPTION COMMITTEE, SECRETARY or ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION IQIS ro TRACK TEAM, IQI7'I8wIQ, FOOTBALL, IQI7'I8 Our Carleton has worked very hard in his four years at P. H. S. trying to understand the wiles of those wild, wild wimmen. Old Toto has suceeded in making several nicknames for himself, and the Gang says that whenever he is around there is sure to be a riot. Totols am- bitions have been directed towards Annapolis, but fate has been against him, so we will find him among the popular ones of our class. We wish UToto the best of luck, when he walks up the south side with his little brown hat, over his Howing curls.

PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL I 91 9 JOSEPH CHESTER ALLEN SENIOR DEBATING, CLEANER noixizn, '19, CLASS Book Br-r-rl Goes the bell at 8:30 as Chester comes dashing into school after doing a mile in 3 flat. Chet is the gentleman who wears the flashy neckties, is always talking and forever exhausting the chalk supply upon some unfortunate person's head. He is one of the leaders of the Ugangl' that enjoy breaking up the scenic effect of any class room. By his questionnaire we learn that he likes no less than five subjects the best of all. My goodness! Everyone knows Chet never wore his books out with over-study. He is an ardent supporter of all school activities and unknown to many is quite an ivory ticklerf, In debat- ing, an activity he prefers to eating, his superllous flow of language electrifies the most learned. ANNA LOUISE ARNOLD oLic,xN1f:R BoARD ,I7',I8'lIQ, CLASS Book coMiv11TTi4:14: 4' Nan or Happy or K' Wishey Cwhichever you like bestl is a good Sport. We think her second nickname suits her best as she always has a Smile and a pleasant word for everybody. Anna has scored several successes in dramatics and, though she isn't priggish, she makes a per- fectly wonderful elderly lady. Applied design holds special attractions for Anna and she is often sur- rounded by a group of girls who greatly admite her handicraft. Next year, Anna is going to brighten the State Normal School up a bit by her presence there. RUTH ELIZA BEACHEN CHARLES FREDERICK BAGG Fred is a carricaturist of unusual ability. He is a quiet fellow and so bashful is he that it was with difficulty that we got him to affix his name to his cartoons. Fred came to us only this year from the wild and woolly Mendon, Mass. He is a good student, his pet studies being chemistry and mathematics. Fred has no definite plans for the future but expects to enter some college in the near future. Well, Fred, old scout, you have the best wishes of the class for every success in the future. Ruth IS one of those ln ely crickets in Room 29, who has quietly CPD and unobtrusively completed her four years at P. H. S. Ruth's two fads are drawing and dancing and she is quite adept at both. The State Normal School will receive her next fall.

PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL I 9l 9 ALICE VERENA BLOXHAM Alice is one of those unostentatious girls of Room 29. Although she hasn't made very much noise, we know that she has profited by her course at P. H. S. In the Applied Design class Alice has been a shining star and recently has worked considerably on a ring which she claims is for her brother, but we-well, have our doubts. Next year Alice in- tends to put her knowledge into practical use and enter the commercial world. BLANLHL CECELIA BRISEBOIS Blanche has been an earnest student, faithful in her work, and es- pecially diligent in typewriting and short-hand. These two are her favorite subjects, and with a fair knowledge of them she hopes to follow the profession of stenography when she leaves school. Those who know her well call her Blanchie and they know that she is a pleasant, sweet tempered girl, who thinks good of everyone and never gets angry. Though she is usually quiet, she can do her share of talking when she is with her chum, Estelle Massey. Blanche appreciates good jokes, and occasionaly makes an attempt at humor, herself. For instance, here is her motto: Put off until tomorrow what you can't do today. EDITH KENDALL BROWN Edith is that light haired little girl who came to P. H. S. from Grove Street Grammar School. She was born in Wappingers Falls, N. Y., and it is hard telling whether or not it was a lucky day on which she landed in Pawtucket. She seems to believe that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing-so why study at all. French is her favorite study outside of study periods, which she wishes were exclusive. P. H. S. has kept her busy for four years except for the time spent with Eleanor Gardiner. She is absolutely undecided as to her future which will probably be spent in New York, but we are sure after the attention she received in P. H. S. that New York is none to large for her. SYLVIA TOWER BULLOCK The tall, attractive girl with the pretty brown hair is Sylvia. Bunny is the nickname which clung to her until she arrived at the dignity of High School. She is always the center of the group of girls with whom she chums. Sylvials motto is 'fFun before work, but her recitations would indicate the reverse. While she prefers French, she enjoys anything but Latin, which she dropped after three years. We all wonder what there is in Pine Meadow, Conn., to make her look that way every time :L vacation is announced. Take another look at her before you turn the page. You may not see her again, for next year Oberlin College will receive her within its portals and even the vacations may return her to us no more.
