24 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL l9l 9 EARL L FLORENCE GOFF MO ULTON GLEANI-IR BOARD, YIS-,IQQ CLASS BOOK COMMITTl'1l-I, CLASS MEMORIAL C'OMMITTl'Il'l Florence is the girl with the lovely brown eyes, who sits in Room 24. She gathers so much gossip overnight that she has to ask permission to talk to some one every morning between 8:30 and 8:40. Her motto, Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone, shows her attitude towards everyone, and has gained her many friends. Florence is always ready for a good time, but she manages to get a report shining with 5's. She started school with a commercial course, but after changing her studies several times Cincidentally, taking three histories at oncel, she has finally decided to enter Brown next fall. Y MAN M YATT f CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE Earl is one of the best known members of the class and we appreciate him as a fellow who has much school spirit and pep.'l His four years at school have shown us, as well as his teachers, that it is not an un- common thing for him to knock off, without apparent effort, a whole string of 5's. judging from the fact that a certain pin which Earl used to wear Knot without pridel is missing we know, of course, that it has been stolen, and after wondering for a long time, we tinally come to the conclusion that the person guilty of the theft is P-someone in Vermont. Why not set us wise, Earl? Tuft's Dental is his port next year. HELEN GERTRUDF O BRIFN CHARLES FRANCIS O'MEARA Red obtained his admission ticket to P. H. S. from the South Why, who's she? Oh! Nellie Well, utryont l nous Nell with her sunny smile and bewitching dimples. She usually brightens the typewriting room, for typewriting to the strains of Smiles is, she frankly admits, her favorite occupation. We hear, however, that it is much more fun dancing to this same music, and Nell enjoys this, too. Next year she will have the opportunity of displaying her ability in typewriting, as she intends to enter the business world. just keep smiling, Nell, and the success we wish for you will be yours. Woodlawn Grammar School. Red has never been known to suffer from over-study and he may frequently be seen with a piece of chalk in his hand which is not always used for writing on the blackboard. He has faithfully supported the athletic teams both with money and with rooting for P. H. S. Red is a good mathematician, but has not distinguished himself in many other subjects.

I 919 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL ESTELLE ALMA MASSEY This little brunette of Room 24 appears to be a quiet, good-natured girl. However, appearances are often deceiving, and from sad ex- periences jake's friends know she is far from quiet. Her motto, The more you do for some people, the less they think of you,'i incidentally leads us to believe that another of those numerous quarrels between her and her f'friend has taken place. But then, we all know the saying, True love t. jake will cast her lot with the business world, and brighten some lucky man's office with her jolly disposition. ALICE JOSEPHINE MCMAHON Al is the joy of her teachers and friends alike. She can always answer that question that no one else bothered to look up. She is willing to share her knowledge with those less fortunate and as a result of this great good nature has hordes of friends. Every morning Mac has a perfect scream of a story, or something Uperfectly killing to tell us. It's usually as good as she predicts, too. Al's plans about next year are still rather hazy. She canlt quite make up her mind whether she Wants to go to Brown or R. I. N. S., but We know that she will make a success of whatever she does. HELEN JOSEPHINE MCNULTY Helen, we think, believes in being seen and not heardf' at least in school, where she seems to be a very demure young lady. Outside of school hours, however, Helen devotes herself to enjoying life in general. She likes to dance, and often takes her recreation in this way. judging from the amount of time Helen spends in the typewriting room, we think that she likes this subject, and this belief is verified by the fact that she has chosen to take up office Work in the future. Her cheerful dis- position will win for Helen the success which We sincerely wish her. EARL WHITNEY MILI IGAN What a racket down in the dressing room of Room 24! Oh, that is only Earl Milligan having his daily bout with Hogan and Myatt. Earl came to us from Grove Street and if they all come as good as Earl, P. H. S. will be satisfied. He likes mechanical drawing and in chem- istry he is a star. Next year Earl expects to enter Rhode Island State College. Good luck to you at Kingston, Earl.

I9I 9 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL EDWIN KENT PALMER CLASS MEMORIAL, TRACK TEAM Ah! Here's Eddie, our promising young athlete. He sure has made a name for himself in athletics and is the possessor of many medals to prove the fact. Is he popular? We'll say he isg with every- body that knows him. Eddie claims P. H. S. has made him what he is today. If it has, then it deserves much credit for its fine work. He says Virgil, mathematics, English, chemistry and French are his favorite subjects. Sorry, H Eddiei' but we're just bound to have to doubt your word for your motto denies the fact that you are the studious kind. '4Eddie anticipates entering college next year. Good luck, n'everything Eddie. i RALPH JOSEPH PARE Ralph is a quiet fellow who inhabits Room 26. He came to us from St. jean Baptiste. We did not hear much of him until this year when he surprused the third hour stenography class by his ability to read- back his notes. Ralph and his chum, A. D., never come to school late CAllen, take noticej. His motto is, Do your best, and he certainly has. His plans for next year are indefinite, but he may enter Bryant Sz Stratton's Commercial School, where he will continue his stenography course. Do as well as you have done here, Ralph, and you will succeed. WILLIAM LENOX PERKINS, JR. TREASURER SUMNER LYCEUM, 'I8-'19, CHAIRMAN PROGRAM COMMITTEE, LYCEUM, '19, MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE, LYCEUM, '18, DEBATINC. 58419, DRAMATICS, ,IQ Bill, alias Turkey and Cy, as can be seen from his record, has been the mainstay of the Lyceum for the past two years and when he passes out of P. H. S. it is practically certain that the Lyceum is doomed financially. Turkey sure does take the prize as Cash collector. He is also P. H. S's piscatory expert. Bill takes an unusual interest in the art ofxuthrowing the coke and has a bombastic style peculiar to those of his type. From his motto, Eat and grow fat, it may be in- ferred that he is no go pound baby, but on the contrary he is rather stupendous,-I mean, corpulent. RUTH AGNES PIERCE PRESIDENT DRAMATIC SOCIETY, GLEANER BOARD, yIQQ CLASS BOOK, CHAIR- MAN OF RECEPTION COMMITTEE, JUNIOR DANCE COMMITTEE Ruth is one of the most popular members of our class. Any girl ought to feel proud of such a fine record. The Dramatic Society has thrived exceptionally well under her guidance and the school had en- joyed her Cupid scenesl' with another well known member of our class. And oh! those beautiful eyes! have caused more than one of the opposite sex to sigh. Ruth's favorite pastime can be quoted in Trip it as you go, on the light fantastic toe. She expects to try the wiles of the business world next year, but we expect in not such an awful long time a certain former member of our class will have something to say about that.
