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.

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. H Red and Cookson are inseparable pals and have tasted defeat as well as victory in many a battle. He intends to study electrical engineering and has the best wishes of his class for a bright future.

PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL l9I 9 RALPH CLIFFORD PILKINGTON Ralph, alias Oscar is that quiet young man who takes great pleasure in carrying out the strict rules of discipline in P. H. S. He can be heard during any recess period arguing history with his fellow inmates of Room 26. When the Hall Glee Club meets we usually find Oscar on the outside of the group and within running distance of the stairs. When Oscar leaves P. H. S and enters the business world we know things will hum for if good wishing can help a fellow, he is sure of success. RUTH MAY POND Yes, this is Ruth, the quiet young lady of Room 26. We never hear anything from her and only her chum knows her real characteristics. T he only real disturbance she creates is when she rushes for lunch tickets before the bell rings and is almost the first one at the lunch counter. Although Ruth's motto is, Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow, we notice that she very seldom practices it. Ruth expects to enter Normal School next year. We wish you good luck, Ruth, and know that you will succeed as a sedate school marm. W WILLIAM FRANCIS RABBITT Bunny has been one of the mainstays of the Dramatic Society for three long years. He is also a debater of no little repute. Bill is a rather quiet fellow but he is a regular chatterbox with the fair sex and rarely comes to school unescorted by at least two or three fair demoiselles. He is an excellent French scholar and is almost as good in Spanish. Bill's motto is, To come to school on time is joyg but to come prepared is ecstacy, and judging from his recitations, Bunny is con- tinually in the realms of ecstacy. He is undecided about his future plans but we may rest assured that he will succeed in anything that he undertakes. HLLILN ELIZABETH RAMSBOTTOM Better late then never has been Helen's motto at P. H. S., but nevertheless, her tardiness record appears quite clear. Her ready smile makes her well liked by her classmates. She is very fond of a good time, and always has something to tell about, the morning after an affair. Evidently Helen is someting of a linguist, as her favorite studies are French and Spanish. Virgil has no terrors for her, and she quite seems to enjoy translation. Helen has always stood ready to help her friends with any difiiculties in Latin. At present she is undecided whether to enter Brown or Simmons next September, but we know that: success will follow her wherever she goes.
