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.

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.

I 91 9 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL EDITH VASLET BURNHAM Whenever you bump into Edith Burnham with her chum, Evelyn Crook, you will find them giggling over some mysterious joke, and it makes you green with envy. If you stay long enough, however, you will find yourself laughing, too,'and Edith will have started it. That is her way. She is so brimful of sunshine and good-nature that she can draw a smile from anyone. Still, she does not allow play or joking to inter- fere with her work. She can be quite brisk and business-like, and it is only natural that she should like typewriting and stenography best, and that she should enter the Bryant and Stratton Commercial School in the fall, as she fully intends to do. next fall. Luck to him. WILLIAM FRANCIS CALLAHAN Well, well ! Look who's here. Calf, with his same old smile which can't be wiped off. They say he's a quiet fellow in school, but you just want to get him outside with the bunch! As a supporter of athletics Bill can't be beat. He attends all the games and gives the fellows back- ing and pep.'! Anywhere you see Cal,' you'll always find his pal, Bill Donahue. The two are inseparable. Cal says he doesn't know what he'll do after leaving P. H. S., but, wherever he may turn his foot- steps we wish him the very best of luck. 1 whatever she may undertake. WILLIAM HENRY BUTLPR Crash! Slam! Boom! and 'fWild B111 lb upon the scene Bill came to us from the wilds of Saylesville but did not by any means bring a country air with him. With h1s pals, Cookson and Allen he terrorizes Room 29. Bill is very gentle to the ladles how ever and may be found almost invariably conversing with some fair ClCI'IlO1SCllC during recess. Bill is a good French student, but in fact claims distinction in all of his studies. He has nobly backed up the athletic teams and mav be seen at any of the games rooting at the top of his voice for old P H S Or to sum it all up in his own words, When funds were low, I put IR doughf' Bill's talents seem to lie along textlle lines and 1n order to develop them more fully, he intends to enter the Lowell Textile School LOUISE AIKEN CARTY Laughing is a healthy pastime, says Squeezi No doubt this accounts for Louise's being so pleasingly plump Even though she arrives at 8:31, occasionally, she admits that Mr Daxis is xery con siderate about accepting excuses. What causes this frequent tardintssu I wonder if this unusual young man with the Packard 15 the cause of it Well, you may draw' your own conclusions Louise has several plans for the future and it is difficult to tell w hlch she will choose. However, we are sure that success will be hers in
