12 THE QUIVER WALTER DANKO What is worth doing is worth doing well. When a teacher reads a paper containing words ponderous enough to grace the President’s message to Congress or the Wickersham Report, she may safely surmise that it r. Walt’s. Cleveland's baker boy grew up to be a promi nent heavyweight fighter, but we arc certain that Woonsocket's will be a lexicographer or a linguist, or at least a college professor. Although Walt is usually the quiet est boy in the class, his occasional dry remarks at unexpected moments often send the class into an uproar. We have all enjoyed your witticisms. Walt. and join in wishing you a happy and prosperous future. QUIVER Board (4). Editor-in-Chief. Debate (4). RUTH DONALDSON O. thou are fairer than the evening air. Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.” That tall, graceful girl with the smile on her face? Ruth Donaldson. Synonymous with modernism is Ruth, sometimes known as Fluffy.” She greatly admires Joan Crawford, whom she resembles a great deal. Tall and slim, with large brown eyes and curly hair. Ruth looks striking. Having a good sense of humor. Ruth is always enjoying herself, as does everyone else in her company. Library Club (2). Glee Club (4). Senior Business Club (4). Senior and Junior Candy Committee. CHARLES DOONAN A boy with a host of friends. Who strives and gains the ends. Charlie” is a great all-round athlete. Whether it is a long shot, a timely hit or a slashing tackle that is needed. Pat” always comes through in a pinch. His long toms at opportune moments thrilled hundreds of basketball fans, while his sterling defensive work on the gridiron had much to do with the success of the football team. And that was Pat playing second base last season and not Rogers Hornsby. as many opposing teams claimed. We do not know Pat's ambition, but we are certain that after his toilsome career as dues collector of Room 19. he will never become a bill collector! Best of luck. Pat”! Baseball (3) (4).

JOHN VINCENT DOYLE It's his manner and his smile That make him worth while.” John is one of the larger members of our class, but he's just as big-hearted. This lad has a skin and complexion anyone would envy. John's pet hobby is ties and he certainly has some of the most gorgous ones to be designed. Johnny's a very, very quiet lad. one of the quietest in the class, but willing to help anyone. His sunny disposition is a sure cure for the blues. Here's success to the future Paderewski of the world! Junior Play Committee (3). Junior Prom Committee (3) , Senior Play Committee (4), Senior Dance Committee (4) , Latin Program (4), Glee Club (2).

Whatever room Leo is in you may be sure that you will never miss him. lor his favorite seat is the one directly in front of the teacher. But I will hasten to sav that he does not sit there of his own accord. On the contrary, he sits there because h is too noisy. Leo is one of our wittiest and iolliest boys, lie has attractive brown eves, black hair, a bronl smi'e and a h Ho for everyone. He is an expert typist, and he and his inseparable companion. Henry, may be seen every night after school in Room 21. Considered a good-looking boy. neat dresser and having a pleasing personality, Leo has made a host of friends throughout his sojourn at Woonsocket High School. We understand that there is a so-cia! attraction in Room 11. but. Shi we mustn't make Leo blush. Whatever he may undertake, we. the class of 1931. know that he will be a success. Good luck. Leo.

Hello Herb! How's the boy? That was just another collision with Herb. our dashing fullback. Herb.” who is a member of the Big Six of football fame, loves to ke.-p in training along the school corridors, very much to the discomfort of others.

DELIA R DAMICO Friendship must be accompanied with Virtue. And always lodged in great and gen'rous minds. Big brown eyes: pretty black hair and pearly teeth describes our Delia. Her sweet mellow voice proved a big asset in Icebound when sh: showed her ability as an actress. Delia is always ready with a smile, a helping hand, and a listening ear for everyone.

THE QUIVER AURORE ALMA DUGAS Practice makes perfect. A quiet miss with flashing brown eyes and black hair de scribes Aurore. another of our Siatersville girls. Although she seems very sedate and reserved during school hours, she is quite different when she is with Inez. She is cheerful, pleasant and fun lovjng. Aurore spends much of her time in Room 21, and as she has proved herself very efficient in stenography we expect to see her enter the business world and bcome very successful. Business Club (4), Candy Committee (1). VIRGINIA DYJAK lo try hard is to succeed.” Did anvone ever see Jennie in school without all her homework caiefully done? We think not. Jennie gives an excellent showing on the gym floor, too. She is ever ready to do her best for her class. She is quick to see the funny side of anything and never fails to let us know about Jennie seems undecided about her future, but we wish her the best of luck in whatever she may choose to do.

Our class midget is personified by Frankie.” one of the smaller but not lesser members of our class. Frankie.” as an actor in our Junior play, took the audience by storm and carried off the juvenile honors. Fie can ask more why's and wherefore's in class during two minutes than the entire class can ask in half an hour. Frankie's favorite study seems to be public speaking because that is one place where he may argue without restraint, and there is nothing he likes more than a good argument. Frankie intends to go into the grocery business, so we may predict a successful future as a big butter and egg man in store for this alumnus. Junior Play (3). Glee Club (4). RICHMOND WILLIAM EARNES Gentleman of the American guard, fire first. Richmond is a man of question, although he certainly can act. You should have seen him create amazement in Icebound when he was about to fire the shot. His part in Shavings, our Senior Play, must also be mentioned, for it was at this time that we discovered what a fine banker he would make. Richie, no doubt, will be an accomplished musician some day. due to the fact that he has always been a high light in our band. We also note that he is fond of the song Cecilia. A motto well entrusted to this young man is Mind your own business and you will not get into any trouble. and he lives up to this saying all the time, much to his advantage. Given the combined circumstances of a remarkably honest character and a pleasant personality, he has undoubtedly won a large number of friends at W. H. S. No doubt Richie will be successful in life as he has been in school. Junior Play (3). Senior Play (4), Business Club (4), Band (4), Student Council (4).
