THE QUIVER 31 HARRY STRICKLAND Elastic Stroke Strickland is a boy filled to the brim with pep, fun, and other school boy amuse- ments, and at the same time squeezing in his ath- letics and placing himself in the first class among the scholastic leaders of 1928. Armed with an elastic and hard papers, he attacks and conquers a whole class or study room. His term as manager has credited him with guiding the basketball sea- son through one of the most successful years in the school history. So versatile is Stroke that his future looks promising in almost any light.

ERNEST SYLVESTRE One of our most studious members, Ernest Silly Sylvestre merits our praise and attention for his ernest efforts to obtain an education. However, his large sense of humor is ever preva- lent in a crowd where he is present. A baseball, basketball fan, and at the same time, football man- ager, he is devoted to the interests of the school, and is an ardent W. H. S. man. He ought to set the colleges back in plane geometry. He certainly knows thatg ask anyone who finds it hard! Man, you're a set of brains -on feet. Well, it will do you no harm, according to the teachers. All right, Silly, you're all there-and good luck!

Those who are not very well acquainted with El think she is quiet, but those who know her better find her a loyal pal and a jolly companion. All that worries Eleanor is whether someone else has done their home-work-for she wants to bor- row it. It was through El's influence that the Pike was macadamized, for she wanted to have the distance between Pawtucket and Woonsocket shortened. El believes that success comes in rounds, and we're inclined to believe that in her ' case she is right. Omicron Beta Club 141. BERTHA MAE TOLMAN Bertha is unsually quiet, an industrious and faithful student. Those of us who know her say that she is a friend worth having. Under her mask of quietness lies a very keen sense of humor. Bertha is one of our class larks. Bertha intends to pursue a musical career, and we know that she will make a success of it.

30 THE QUIVER BEATRICE ARTHUR ROBERT SHEVLIN Strut, strut, here he comes, there he goes, smooth slicked hair and flashy clothes, that's our Arthur. Art, popular among both the he's and the she's, is a very active member of Villa Nova. With the aid of his fine qualities, Art has be- come one of the most popular boys of the school in the three years that he has been with us. He has gained prominence through sports, debates, arguments and business ability. Where would our QUIVER be if it were not for Art's skillful managing?

SHOLOVITZ Bee Sholovitz, one of the illustrious Seniors that grace our school, is a true patrician in every phase of the word. Bee has a very dignified bearing, but, as we all know, has a joyful, fun- loving side as well. She can always appreciate a good joke. Bee was our leading lady in the Sen- ior Play, and she certainly performed in a credit- able manner. Keep it up, Bee, and you will have some of Hollywood overshadowed. She helps the librarian in her duties, and we all know her cheery Hello, Anyone who knows Bee is for- tunate, and her Golden Chain of Friendship is long indeed. Take care, Bee Debating 111 121, Dramatic Club 141, Senior Play 141, Omicron Beta Club 141, Library Club 141. l MAE SOWDEN 1 Good natured--and always ready for a laugh. That's Mae in a nutshell, Mae's pet hobby is machine operating. Thanks to Classical High for sending us Mae. Mae says very little about the opposite sex, but we are sure that somewhere there's a Sweetie Hiding. We have not an ink- ling as to Mae's future work, but we know she will be successful in anything she undertakes. Our best wishes, Mae. Library Club 141. SHORR MORRIS Morris Shorr is the one, lone, solitary reason that the Woonsocket Call exists. Every afternoon, our Morris and his stack of readables can be seen at Depot Square. The call of the newsboy blares forth, and we know that Morris is about. He is an adept at dancing, and a familiar figure around our illustrious school. Youlre heading for a big busi- ness career if you but continue your fine work, Morris. Remember, Morris, your old friends at Woonsocket High School will never forget you. Radio Club 111. l

THE QUIVER CONSTANCE TRINQUE Connie has the distinction of being one of the best-looking girls of the class of 1928-for that is the name left to her in the will of the '27 graduat- ing class. Connie is a friendly girl and is always willing to help someone. One of Con's outstand- ing characteristics is her originality and because of this she has some ability for writing poetry. Connie is also the chief spokesman of English 4C. Constance does not intend to go away to school, and her friends will be delighted to know that they will be able to see her frequently in the years to come.

VALENTINE Ruthie' We have a little, black-eyed brunette, who makes it her duty to keep other people from get- ting bored or sad. Her pleasant smile has broken down many walls of reserve and those who she considers as friends are very fortunate. Ruthie enjoys sports, especially skating, and if one were to go up to Avenue C on a winter night, you would see Ruthie in the midst of a crowd of jolly companions. Pascoag High School seems to hold a great deal of interest for our Ruthie - we wonder why? Omicron Beta Club 141. GLADYS VAZNAIAN Here is a girl with speed. We'll guarantee that she can take dictation as fast as anyone can talk, and that is not an idle boast, either. We are proud of Glady, with her long, curly hair, -her neat ap- pearance and her scholarly ways. Lucky is the girl who has Gladys as a friend, for she is A Friend, indeed. Dramatic Club 141, Omicron Beta Club 141. GRAYCE U. VICTORY Crash! Bang! and Grayce arrives! Everyone knows Grayce, our flapper, whose only rival for the title of It is Clara Bow! One seldom sees Grayce alone, for there is always a host of ad- mirers tagging along. When you're looking for a good sport and a wonderful friend-All Hail to Grayce's home room! She intends to be Some- body's Stenog next year and we envy the fortu- nate person who obtains her. We know that Grayce will be a success and W. H. S. wishes her luck.
