THE QUIVER 7 Litte Tributes to Barry In the death of Dr. William F. Barry, the Woonsocket High School has lost a sincere friend. During all, the years that Dr. Barry was connected with our school, he was ever faithful to our interests, ever loyal to the teachers and pupils, and a helpful, willing worker. Dr. Barry was always ready at a moment’s notice to do anything that would l enefit us. He was a man of his word and l)elieved in a “square deal” for everyone, while his cheerful, sunny disposition will long he remembered in our High School. For twenty-five years he has helped to make Woonsocket High School one of the Ix'st in the state. Although not a graduate of the school himself. Dr Barry was really an honorary member. At all times he was interested in the athletic department and spent much energy and effort in developing this field. We owe to him a great debt that can never be paid. We greatly appreciate his friendship and with sincere emotion mourn his death. DOROTHY B. ROBINSON. 25. Dr. Barry, one of the l)est friends our High School ever had. has gone from us. His loss will he felt by all who knew him. hut especially by those of our school who have listened to him in the hall and felt the sincerity of his words. However, since his death had to be. Christmas is the very best time for it to come, for he certainly represented the true Christmas spirit, always giving of himself to others and helping them cheerfully. He was always working for the benefit of our school and its students, encouraging athletics, going to all of the games that it was possible for him to attend, and striving in numberless other ways to make our school one of the best. He was very influential in the founding of our library, selected, himself, almost all of the first thousand books, and was one of the most active of its trustees. His every-ready smile and his keen sense of humor made friends of everyone. He will be missed in many, many places, but in no place more than in our school. ALBERT PLACE, ’25.
