Clams mottnz AIM AT THE HIGHEST 8 l MEMOIRS EDITORIAL. LOYALTY The loyal pupil is as necessary to the school as the heart is to the body. In fact, the greatest obstacle to the success of a school is indifference on the part of the students. Just as our country needs serious-minded, upright men to live for her day by day, so our High School needs devoted pupils who will give to their school time, strength, and fidelity every day. We are not all endowed with equal talents and we can- not all pay our debt in the same way. Some may excel in scholarship, some in athletics and other non-scholastic ac- tivities, but we can all be faithful to our allotted tasks and devote whatever talents we have to enriching the life of our school. Loyalty consists in doing one's part in every phase of school life, in obeying regulations, in boosting, not hin- dering. We need more school spirit and we need it desperately. The majority of the pupils play fox and let the other fellow do it. About twenty-five take part in the athletics and carry on the other activities of the school. About twen- ty-ive more pupils follow up all games and try diligently to keep the school spirit aliveg the rest drift along indiffer- ently. The result is that the Athletic Association is in debt, and that very few ventures that require the services of a large number of pupils can be carried to completion. Our football team. which won the Bristol County championship, received but little support from members of the school un- til the very last game, the basket-ball team received no supportg track and baseball likewise were given no back- ing by the pupils. Plans were made for a minstrel show in March but owing to lack of interest on the part of the stu- dents, the idea was given up. Other activities have fared similarly, The Faithful Fifty have supported everything. Are you one of these fifty working energetically for the welfare of our school? Are you taking an active part in the vari- ous activities of the school or helping to support them? If You are, you may be proud of the fact: if not, your position is obvious. Silence may mean more than words. Principal Fred H. Hadlock has exprezsed his apprecia- -rv x Mrmoms g - 9 tion of the fine spirit shown by the Loyal Fifty and the de- tsirewthatvthiswgroup may become the Loyal Two Hundred aln?f1 Fifty next year. The Class of 1922 trusts that this aim may be realized. V . It is the hope of the Editor that his humble effort may be the means of creating among the remaining members of the sc1i'ooTa'fe'eling of real enthusiasm to see our school go over the top in all its undertakings. L -Ralph A. Palladino. ,J T0 OUR ADVERTISERS The board of editors desires to thank the business and professional men of Mansfield for making it possible to bring out Memoirs. The universally courteous interviews which our representatives have been granted is an undeni- able proof that the people of ,Mansfield have faith in our institution and in the class of 1922. We recognize the fact that our own community, like many others, has been under- going a period of intense business depressiong but we feel confident that the same spirit of optimism and co-operation which has made possible Memoirs of 1922' will carry our town through this trying time to a new era of prosperity.

It is a true pleasure to see here so many of our friends who have awaited our graduation with no less interest than We ourselves have awaited it. When we think seriously of our high school life-what it has done for us, what it has meant and may mean to us, and to Whom we owe the opportunity for a high school edu- cation+we feel arising within us a Wealth of gratitude to our parents, our teachers, land our friends. You have made V MEMOIRS 11 possible for us our education during the past four years, you have instructed us faithfully, and you have urged. us 'on by your good-will. - - Graduation maynot hold the same meaning for us all. 'To some it is merely a pause in many years of learningg 'to :others it is the end of all school life, and the commencement of a career in the world of affairs. But whatever our course may be, we shall be sure to find some difliculties which we have never before encountered. Therefore, we ask you to icontinue your interest in us as We try to aim high .and straight. - , , So, to you, to whom we owe so much, we dedicate our -commencement exercises. We have long and eagerly .awaited this event tonight, and now that it has come, with the same eagerness, we present our exercises to you. Again, on behalf of my class, I bid you be most welcome. -Richard Melville Fowler. - CLASS HISTORY In June, 1918, seventy-three pupils were graduated from the Mansfield grammar schools and in September all but ten of these entered the High School. At this time, Aurora Moro, Olive Lockwood, and Edward Bliss joined our class. After a warm welcome by the Sophomores, we became full fledged Freshmen. We then elected our class ofiicers, who were as follows: President, Roy Morse, vice president, Rita McCartg secretary, Hendrick Olney, treasurer, Wes- ley Grover. I The next important events of our first year were the prize drills, in which the freshman medals were won by John Murphy of Company A, Alice Donoghue of Company B, and Emily Roberts of Company C. , Through the kindness of Miss Foulkes, the freshman -civics class made trips to several places of interest. The trip to Boston included a visit to the Library, Bunker Hill Monu- ment, Watertown Arsenal, Perkin's Institute for the Blind, and Charlestown Prison, where all the boys were locked up, but later released because of good behavior. On another trip we inspected the Foxboro State Hospital. fNone of our members were detained herej . In basketball the class was well represented by a team which gave the Sophomores several beatings. Frank Cav- allo made his letter in baseball during the spring term. At the beginning of our sophomore year we found that seven of our classmates had left us, during the year ten more left our ranks. At the prize drills we made a good showing. Francis Fox of Company A took second prize, Florence Snow of i2 MEMOIRS ' g Company B also took second prizeg and Emily Roberts of Company C received honorable mention. . Richard Fowler was chosen from our class to represent the High School in the Singleton Prize Speaking Contest held at Plainville. Under the leadership of Captain Catherine Driscoll, the- Sopohomore girls' bat-ball team won the championship of' the school and was awarded a silver cup. This year Carl Anderson received a letter for football. and Fred Bowers one for track. At the opening of our third year the class was greatly enlarged by the addition of Dorothy Beebe from Norton,. and Hugh West from Methuen. Richard Fowler was elected president: Catherine Dris-- coll, vice presidentg Rita McCart, secretaryg and Roy Morse, treasurer. In drill, Corporal Fox of Company A won first prize as did Corporal Rita McCart of Company C, while in Company B, Corporal Florence Snow took a second prize. For the prize speaking team this year Richard Fowler and Emily Roberts were chosen from our class. This time- Fowler won second prize. June 24 we gave the Senior Class a reception. Socially' the affair was a great success, but financially We cannot says as much for it. l Six members of our class, having an average above 85.76 in their school work were admitted to the Pro Merito So-- ciety. They were Richard Fowler, Robert Mears, Dorothy' Beebe, Aurora Moro, Wesley Grover, and Roy Morse. Our athletic record during this year was exceptionally' good. We furnished eight men for the football team and a. majorityfof the men on the basket-ball, track, and baseball teams. Catherine Currivan was our only representative on the girls' basketball team. September 7, 1921, began our last short and eventful. year. We started off by electing Richard Fowler, president of the classg Francis Fox, vice president, Robert Mears, treasurerg and Dorothy Beebe, secretary. Then we turned our attention to the class play, and on Thanksgiving night, under the direction of Miss Fox, we presented Just Plain Mary. With our dramatic ability, it is needless to say that the play was a great success. On February 20 the Senior Class Went to Boston, where, after dining at the Brunswick, we went to see Tip-Top at the Colonial Theatre. The girls' military drill being discontinued, the senior girls came forth and showed their ability in physical train-- ing. Emily Roberts was judged the most proficient in the Senior Class, which ranked second in the class competition, The boys, besides furnishing the officers of Company A. MEMOIRS 13 took two prizesinthe Military Drill, the iirst being awarded to Roy Morse, and the second to Sergeant Ralph'Pal1adino. The prize speaking team was again chosen from our class, Richard Fowler and Emily Roberts competing in the Singleton contest held at Franklin. Fowler was awarded first prize while Miss Roberts took second. Our class has also made a good record in the Commercial Department. - Twenty-two initial certificates in .typewriting have been warded to members of the class. Thirteen mem- bers have won bronze medals and certificates for typing forty words per minute. Catherine Currivan and Helen Ledwick have typed fifty words per minute, and Dorothy Beebe has attained a speed of seventy. Our class has produced four four-letter men and two three-letter men. Anderson, Palladino, West, and John- Jslon have won four letters, Powers and Cavillo have won ree. -Roy Emerson Morse. STATISTICS It was with delight, but also with a feeling of unworthi- ness, that I learned that I had been chosen to compile the statistics for the illustrious class of 1922 of Mansfield High School. Nor has delight in any way diminished as I have tried to carry out the task enjoined. The pleasure which I have had in discovering my classmates' unsuspected achievements has more than repaid me for the arduous hours of research necessary to bring to light the accomplish- ments of such unassuming and retiring young men and -women. My feeling of unworthiness soon gave way to dis- fmay, for it took but little time to discover how utterly im- -possible it was for me to do justice to my classmates. Vol- umes might be written about them, but I must necessarily -confine myself in each case to a few remarkable achieve- Tments. Carl Reignhold Anderson is one of the few four letter athletes in the school. He was captain of the football team that won the Bristol County Championshipg he is president of the Athletic Association, and manager of the baseball -team. Andy's chief hobbies are playing the Victrola and eating. He is particularly fond of Graham Daintiesf' Andy was voted, by the class, the most popular boy and 'the possessor of the best disposition. John Edward Asprey, one of our most unassuming stu- -dents, is an authority on all subjects pertaining to Com- pany A's band. John is an excellent boss when it comes to 14 MEMOIRS the bugle corps, and to him goes most of the credit of Com- pany A's' being represented by such a squad of buglers. favorite pastime is waving at Harry. Catherine Helene Driscoll, our former' vice-president, drew up our class will. She had the leading part in the- class play. She is a fine speaker, twice winning honorable- mention in speaking contests. She plans to attend Boston University next year, but she will probably still find time for Fox-trotting. By vote Catherine is the most popular girl of the class. George Reid Forbes is a quiet, studious chap who, how- ever, enjoys a merry time. During the last year Dodo ' has-been somewhat connected with the baseball team.. George means husband fmanj. Beware the confetti, Dodo.', James Ronald Forrester is generally quiet, but as a mem-- ber of the Fun and Frolic Trio he can do his part in mak- ing a good time. His chief hobby is putting typewriters temporarily out of commission. Ron is very fond of Win- ter sports. F Francis Joseph Fox is captain of Company A, vice-presi- dent of the class, and a winner of two cadet prizes. Fran ' was a member of the Glee Club once, and is really very musical, although rather old-fashioned in this tastes. He is' habitually humming, K-k-k-Katy. Fran was voted the best looking boy in the class. Richard Melville Fowler, our salutatorian, missed being cent. He is president of the class and first lieutenant of Company A. He has represented the school in the Single- ton Contest for three years, winning a second and a first prize in the past two years. He had the leading part in the-1 class uplay, and in the musical comedy, Springtime By popular vote of the class it is agreed that Dick has done the most for the school. Of late he has developed a remarkable liking for pets, particularly for Kats Wesley Stearns Grover, writer of the music for the class ode, is a sergeant in Company A., and vice-president of the Pro Merito Society. Socially Wes is the type of a man that takesa picture best with a girl on each side of him. Indeed, the only thing known to cause him to drop his books or turn' from the piano, is girls. Wes is the class beau. Wilbur Hendrick Johnson, our class athlete, is known' especiaaly for his ine basketball playing. His fame is not tied-with the valedictorian by only a fraction of one peri t MEMOIRS P 15 limited, however, to this sport. For three years he has been the Babe Ruth of the baseball team. He has also been a member of the football and track teams. John is popular with every one and he's a terror with the ladies- especially with the Sophomores. Helen Augusta Ledwick was chairman ofthe committee in charge of the ball after the Girls' Interclass Meet. She is vice-president of the Commercial Whirl. Helen is very John is a member of the Fun and Frolic Trio, which con- tains Joe MacDiarmid and Ron Forrester as its other two members. Dorothy Smith Beebe, who joined us in our third' year, is our class prophet. Dot thrives on work -Cfrom all ap- pearances she has enoughl. She is the champion typest of the class. Although shestarted two months late, she has won almost every medal offered for excellence in typewrit- ing. Dot is secretary of the class and also of the Pro Merito Society. Edward Norman Bliss joined us at the beginning of our second year. Down from the mountains of northern Ver- mont came Eddie, with his cornet, to cast in his lot with this illustrious class. Although Ed is not naturally a boaster, he is a good blower. He is the class musician. His cornet duets with John make the welkin ring. i' Frederick Kidder Bowers is another one of our busy men. Fred is vice-president of theiAthletic Association and presi- dent of the Commercial Whirl. He is the retiring manager of the football eleven, and is captain of the basket ball team. In 1921 he was captain of the track team. In spite of these many activities, he has found time to perfect himself as an artistic carverg already his designs on Wood have at- tracted much attention. Frank Cavallo, more commonly known as Chick, is built close to the ground. Chick is our ro-ugh, tough, and ready hero of the gridiron, basket ball court, and diamond. Although much smaller than many of our other stars, Chick is there with the speed and endurance. His motto is The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Catherine Marie Currivan, manager of the girls' basket- ball team, is the only girl in the class to win an UM. She has been a member of the girls' basket-ball team for two years. She is an excellent typist and an expert in the use of the Gregg system. flaming? Who said dancing? That's 16 MEMOIRS Kate all over. If you happen to be looking for her when therevis a dance in the vicinity, the chances are that you can find her there. . Edna Applewhaite Davis is the author of the words to the class ode. She has a giggle that is positively contagious. If there is laughter and disturbance in class, you may be certain that Edna is to some degree responsible. ' She was voted the jolliest member of the class. Edna intends to be a stenographer when she leaves school. If one can judge from her work so far, she will be highly successful. Alice Veronica Donoghue, a member of the exclusive Back Bay set, is a jolly girl. 'She is always ready to help out whenever there is a good time on hand. She was an aid at the Girls' Interclass Athletic Meet. Three years ago Alice won the freshman medal in the Girls' Prize Drill. Her fond -of dancingg in fact, she was voted the second best dancer in the class. Albert Lowden Lehan, florist of the class, is noted all over the country for his gladiolus bulbs. He is a first rate debater, taking a leading part in all class discussions. Al, we hear, expects to become an author. He is planning to write a book entitled Two Back Seats in a Ford Sedan. ' Edith Frances Livermore has lately taken up the study of screw-driver manufacturing at Harding University. She is rapidly becoming an expert in this subject. Edith appears very quiet. but something in her eyes and smile makes us doubt it. She took part in both the class play and the musical comedy Springtime Olive Josephine Lockwood is a good cook and a fine dress- maker. It is good to know that there is one more lucky man that won't have to worry about indigestion. Olive is noted for her originality in designing gym suits. Next to Emily, Olive is the best bluffer in the class. Joseph Williiam MacDiarmid is a member of the football squad. He is always a partner in all fun and frolicg in fact, he is the third member of the Fun and Frolic Trio. Last winter Joe made quite a hit with his excellent shooting on the basket ball court. Wherever you see confusion, look for Joe. Helen Theresa Malloy is one of the tallest members of the class. Helen can usually see through thingsg but she is always sure of seeing over them. She was in the cast of 5' l g MEMOIRS 17 'both the class playand' the musical comedy, springtime, Helen lives up to her name, which signiiies 'fbrightnessf' for she isalwaysspringing clever jokes. She is the class 'w1t. I ' ' I . - Marion Frances.Marden, one of our prima donnas, is Qnoted. for her singing in the morning exercises. She has been in the Glee Club for three years, and during the last year has played in the orchestra. Marion intends to become fa nurse. Rita 'Frances M-eCart 'was vice-president of the class for 'two years and secretary during our third year. She is the secretary of the Commercial Whirl. She won first prize in 'the last Girls' Cadet Drill. Can Rit make the piano jazz? She certainly can! One piece, however, she plays with jrivluch more pep than any other-it's Jimmie, I Love but ou. ' S Robert Moultrop Mears wears gold glasses and parts his hair in the middle, but he's a man for a' that. Robert is valedictorian of the class, having an average of over nine- ty-five for the four years. He is secretary of the class, and advertising manager of the class paper. To him belongs most of the credit for the success of this paper. Harvard 'will gain two excellent students when Mears and Fowler make their entrance. Mears, by class vote, is the most :studious and the most punctual boy in the class. Israel Miller has played in the orchestra for four years. Before long we may hear of a second Kreisler. When Izzy laughs, the whole class laughs. Outside of these -facts, we 'know little about him, except that he is very talkative. Aurora Pierina Moro is the class song-bird. She is noted for her soft voice and blushes. We know that her voice is Qsweet, for haven't we heard her sing in the Glee-zClub, and on other occasions? She is a member ofthe SocialiCommit- tee and is an honor student. Aurora speaks four different languages. This linguistic accomplishment will undoubted- ly be of use to her in her future work. ' Charles-Raymond Morse believes that variety makes a Inang so he tried both athletic and non-athletic activities with equal success. Ray is second lieutenant of Company A, a letter man in football and tra-ck, and athletic editor of the class paper, Memoirs. Ray is also very closely con- nected with the Fun and Frolic Trio. . Gardner Edson Morse is the most quiet, unassuming 18 Mmioms A member of our class. In spite of his retiring disposition, however, C-ardner is well liked by' all 'of' his classmates. His work in shorthand is deserving of mention. Roy Emerson 'Morse, our historian, is first sergeant of Company A, winner of the first prize in the recent prize drill, president of the Pro Merito Society and business man- ager of the class paper. Socially, Roy is a regular butter- fly. His banjo solos are highly complimented. Roy was president of the class during our first two years, and treas- urer during our third year. The class voted him the best all round boy in the class. John Maurice Murphy apparently does not know that the class play is over, for he is still waiting for some one to say Why don't you speak for yourself, John? In our fresh- Iigiaifl year, John won the bronze medal in the Boys' Cadet ri . Hendrick Atwell Olney, our former secretary, is a ser- geant in Company A. Little can be said of Hen for he is not a speaker of the limelight. However, those who are fortunate enough to know him have a profound liking for this retiring member of '22, Hen is such a droll, imagin- ative fellow. He says that he is particularly fond of winter, but that he would like summer just as well if only we could have Snow then. Norton John Phillips, or Professor N. J. Phillips, if you please ffor isn't Norton the best informed pupil in Historyl, is but six feet tall with his hair parted. For vivid imagina- tion, he has few equals. If you doubt it, ask Ham. Emily Helen Roberts is an orator of accomplishment, being the winner of second prize in the recent Singleton Contest. Emily has won two medals in the girls' prize drills. and a sweater in the Girls' Interclass Athletic Meet. Her disposition is one of the best to be found, and she is the possessor of one of those smiles that you can't resist. The class greatly honored Emily by voting her the prettiest girl, the best bluifer, the best all around girl, the best dancer, the most procrastinating member, and the society belle. Carl Scheffy hails from the noted Coal Village. Upon his arrival in Mansfield High he was a wee bit bashful, but all traces of timidity have long since disappeared. Carl, like many other members of our class is interested in radio, but his chief hobby is music. Popular songs may come and go, but 'iMargie remains Exit favorite. - ,,,, , Q 4 . H y Msmoms 19' Audrey Smith, one of our most retiring young ladies, has: a very even disposition. .She has remarkable' power of con- centration asfis shown by her ability to carry on at orches- tra' rehearsals when other members are playing in various keysju Audrey intends to become a nurse. We know that her fine disposition and her cheery smile will greatly aid her in her Work. f Florence Gertrude Snow, a member of the Social Com- mittee,'has won two prizes in the girls' cadet drills. Flor- ence says that she is going to be a nurse. Rumor says that' she-is going into the poultry business, but we doubt the truth of this as she has never shown an interest in more than one Hen. -Gladys Alice Strople, a student in the Commercial De-- partment, during her spare time has a sweet occupation in Dinsmore-'s Candy Shop. We hear that before long she is going to be somebody's eilicient stenographer. Hamilton Wallis is a veritable question mark, he is al- ways looking for the why of things. Ham sure can wield a mighty pen. He is an able artist, and has a streak of humor that would make Bud Fisher jealous. Watch for our class paper: Ham designed the cover. H-ugh Edward West joined us at the beginning of our third yearfcoming from Methuen High. Westie is a four letter athlete,'and the captain of the track team. As a middle distance runner, and as a tackle of the eleven, Westie has few equals in this vicinity. Don't be sur- prised if you see West and also Johnson sporting a big S some time next yearg both are going to attend Springiield College in the fall. Westie has been declared class joker. Emma Frances Wynn, a student in the Commercial De- partment, is remarkable for her quiet disposition. She- firmly believes that perseverance overcomes all obstacles.. The class voted Emma the most retiring girl. We hear that she has chosen stenography as her profession, and that she will prepare herself at Boston University. Do it right, B. U.! ik if 41 Sk wk My task is now completed. I trust that you are a little better acquainted with us than before. In order that the facts here assembled may be readily accessible for the ref- erence of future historians, they will be preserved in print in Memoirs. Ralph Albert Palladino. , 7 Y j 20 MEMOIRS CLASS BROPHECY--1922 i One night, before I fell asleep the question came to my mind: What will the boys and girls of the class of 1922 be doing a few years from now? The idea fascinated me. Many possibilities--some humorous, some grave, and others of fantastic character--in turn presented themselves to my -drowsy mind. Finally, after many unsuccessful attempts to dispel these thoughts, I slept. I slept to dream! It was the year 1928. I decided to take a vacation from my duties in Boston, and to pay a visit to the town where my high school days were spent. Hurriedlyi I packed my bag and walked to the South Station, where I purchased a ticket for Mansfield, and boarlded the train, finding a comfortable seat near an open win ow. Drawing from my bag a magazine, which I had just pur- 1-chaed, I settled down to read. My comfort was short- lived, however, for I was soon disturbed by the voice of a ,young man in a white coat, calling loudly, f'Nice fresh chick- Jen sandwiches! Candy! Popcorn! Fresh GRAHAM cook- ies! -It was Carl Anderson. Once more I settled myself only to be disturbed again in a few minutes by a band at the Back Bay Station, where the train made its first stop. The music was evidently in ho-nor of the gentleman of importance who stepped aboard the train. The leader of the band was John Aspray. Instinc- tively I looked at his feet. With relief I noted that his shoe- 'strings had been securely tied. The porter whistling a merry tune, brought the gentle- .man's, bags into our car. As he approached, his round cheerful face and laughing eyes recalled one of my class- mates. Fred Bowers had become a porter! Evidently his 'long and faithful experience in carrying bags to and from Mansfield High School proved an effective preparation for 'this work. Following the porter came the gentleman of importance who had joined us at Back Bay. Raising his hat, he spoke cordially to me, and upon my invitation seated himself be- side me to converse. He was none other than Edward Bliss, who had become a successful orchestra leader and musician. He was on his way to Mansfield to conduct rehearsals in the High School, where he had succeeded Mr. Saunier. Bliss bowed to a dark young man across the aisle, and, turning to me, asked if I had not recognized our old star, Chicky Cavallo, who had become a player of merit in proffessional baseball. At Canton Junction several women of military bearing, in uniform, and led by Catherine Qurrivan, entered the car. Catherine showed her badge of authority, and began a MEMOIRS 21 rigorous search of the passengersie baggage for concealed moonshine. She was assisted in directing the thorough in- vestigation by her reliable lieutenant, Edna Davis. Cather- ine stopped by my seat a few moments to tell me- that she and Edna had been nicknamed the Dread Hooch-Hounds because they had made so many successful raids. The train' pulled into Mansfield with no further incidents. Everything about the station seemed naturalg so without looking around there very much, I started down Rumford Avenue. As I was trying to decide which place of interest I should visit first, from a window in the real estate block formerly owned by Mrs. L. E. Miller-Hake, a small hand waved joyously to me. Alice Donoghue was the owner of that hand, as she called to me to come in and see some of her excellent bargains in farms. It would have been pleasant to visit with Alice, but mem- ories were 'drawing me back to the High School, and I hur- ried on. Up to Room 7 I went, and there found Catherine Driscoll in charge of a class in shorthand. Familiar, indeed, were her words in answer to a student's question- Look it up in the dictionary. It was no mystery to me where she had received that advice.. From her windows, I noticed in the distance a tall silo which had not been there in the old days. Catherine told me that it was located on the property of the largest dairy in Eastern Massachusetts, and that it waslowned and oper- ated by George Forbes. After pleasantly reviving old times with Mr. Hadlock, whom I was happy to find still in charge, I became aware of a feeling of hunger, and walked up to the Tavern for lunch. The dapper little man who opened the door for me proved to be Ronald Forrester. He confided to me, in any aside, that it was his private ambition to be promoted to a position as steward so that he would be given the keys to the cellar. On the way, I had noticed an ofiice window with the sign Richard M. Fowler, Attorney-at-Law , so after eating my lunch I went to his office to see what he could tell me about our former classmates. During our pleasant conversation he told me that handsome Francis Fox was posing as a model for advertisements of Arrow collars. He also said that Francis had been responsible for the shooting of many arrows of a far different nature! I learned that Wesley Grover had become a professor of geology at a co-educational school in the West. Dick said that all the girls in the school just loved geology! Wilbur Johnson, I discovered, was well on the road to fame as a player in professional basketball. 0 Turning toward the window I caught a glimpse of a taxi racing up the street. Dick told me that it belonged to A1- 1 T22 MEMOIRS K ' bert Lehan who was running a large taxi business. I re- imembered thathe hadstarted 'thisservice during- his high school days. . . V 5. A I thanked the Honorable Richard for the interesting .half- hour he had given me,,and walked downto the office of- the .Mcmsfield Gazette, Where I found Helen Ledwick. installed as editor. Helen told me about two more of thefold crowd, Edith Livermore and Olive Lockwood, Edith had become treasurer of the Harding Manufacturing Company. , Helen said that on a recent trip to New York she had seen on a plate glass window on Fifth Avenue the words, Olivia Lockwood Modistef' Becoming curious, she Went in and found Olive occupied with the task of designing some new creations. g Glancing over a copy of the Gazette which Helen handed 'to me, I found in it Joseph MacDiarmid's notice, advertis- ing Day old chicks for sale. He had bought the Mans- field Hatchery, and was making an immense profit on his purchase. At last I could see where Joe's propensity for hatching ideas had led him. Helen asked me if I knew about any of the girls who had moved away from Mansfield. I told her that Marian Mar- den was pursuing bugs at the Medfield State Hospital, and that if Marian still possessed the characteristics which were hers in the character of Lecty Tarbox, no doubt she 'was pursuing more than mere bugs. Helen Malloy had become intensely interested in futurist art. Her role in Springtime probably influenced her in -choosing this occupation. I was also able to tell Helen of the great success won by Rita McCart while traveling over the world giving musical -concerts. She had made a deep impression upon her audi- ences in many places. Doubtless this impression was due 'in part to the very Russian name she had adopted-Skirita 'McCartski. During our conversation I had turned the paper to the page of table gossip, and there read that the Reverend Rob- -ert M. Mears had just returned from a three days' conven- tion of Congregational clergymen at East Norton. An advertisement next held my attention: Let the Mil- 'lers tap your shoes! So Izzy had gone into business with his father. An announcement stated that Aurora Moro, who had won much fame as a soloist in the Metropolitan Opera Company, was returning to Mansfield to give a concert for the benefit of the High School Athletic Association. I wonderedfwhat had become of the three Morses. Helen told me that Raymond now occupied the position of chief Dyer at thei Marion Hat Works, that Gardnerwas oper- ating -an extensive farm, and that Roy had become a fear- --i , QA K, A W-hxkxrg-,1WIlQB1QIRSM H 23 less aviator. To this end, -then, were the'darin g feats that R. E. used to perform on the beams of Mansfield Town Hall. The closing h-our arrivedg so I bade Helen good-bye, and sauntered down Main Street. As I arrived at the moving picture house, I glanced at the bill-boards to .see what play was .scheduled for that evening. It was a feature picture 1n eight reels, The Courtship of Miles Standish, starring John Murphy. I As I stood at the entrance of the theatre, a prosperous looking- gentleman greeted mei It was Hendrick Olney, who was home for a vacation from his duties in the office of the Postmaster General. He had kept in touch with only a few of the members of '22. He did know, however, that Ralph Palladino had become an expert accountant, and that Ralph's services were sought every year by the Mans- field High School to audit the returns of the Cadet Ball.. Norton Phillips, he said, was a motorman on the Mans- field-Foxboro Street Railway, ,which had recently been re- -organized. He was still demonstrating to people the ad- vantage of the electric cars over the bus line. ' Emily Roberts, under the direction of the Coit-Alber Ly- ceum Bureau, was touring the country as a Shakespearian reader. Carl Scheffy was the world's champion bicycle rider. Once again I felt assured that West Mansfield will yet be- come well known! After our pleasant talk, Hendrick walked on, and I stood for a few moments looking at the goodies on display in the window of the Candy Shop. The day was warm, and the thought of a cooling ice was tempting. I walked in. Au- drey Smith was seated at one of the tablesg she invited me to join her. She told me of her happiness in her new work as a trained nurse. We were graciously waited upon by the owner of the Candy Shop, Gladys Strople. The girls were anxious to compare notes with me about our high school friends. Naturally our talk drifted to Florence Snow. They told me that Flossie had started out with the brave intention of becoming a nurse, but that her career had been effective- ly interrupted by the Olney one. The girls called my attention to some clever illustrations in a well-known magazine which lay on the counter. The drawings were the work of Hamilton Wallis. No doubt many of them were planned when he was making appar- ently idle sketches in shorthand class. ' ' W There were still two class members of whom nothing had been told me. They were Hugh West and Emma Wynn. Audrey said that Emma was a private-secretary in a large manufacturing company. , The fate of Hugh West was a surprise to me, for they told me that after attending Springfield College, he had become ,,, 24 MEMOIRS a prize-fighter. I did recall, however, that at athletic meetl- ings in the past he had occasionally indulged in this sport: with Dink David as a sparring partner. il 1' R Ill Ik Here ended my dream. The truth of dreams has long been a debated subject. Whether there was in this one a grain of truth, or whether' it represented only the fanciful imagination of a tired brain, I cannot say. I have merely repeated to you events as they' occurred in one of the most remarkable dreams' that I have- ever experienced. - -Dorothy Smith Beebe, '22, THE LOST WORD Cby Henry Van Dykel Christmas day was dawning over Antioch fifteen hundred years ago. The great city lay asleep but for the multitudesh of Christians, who were hurrying to keep the newly appoint- ed festival of the Church, the birthday of Christ. The tall- est and fairest of the serious youth throng was Hermas, the only son of a rich pagan, Demetrius, Master of the House of the 'Golden Pillars. When Hermas proclaimed his faith in the unseen God, his father had disowned and disinherited im. . He walked westward toward the Grove of Daphine, sat down beside a gushing stream and gave himself up to sad- ness. How beautiful the world would be, how joyful, how easy to live in, without religion. If I could live my life as I pleased and be happy. Why not? He turned and saw an old man with a long beard and a threadbare cloak, standing behind him. You can be happy, yes, I can give you all that you desire. This is the season that you Christians call the Christmas, and you have endowed it with the pagan way of exchanging gifts. Well, if I give to you, you must give to me. It is a small thing, and really the thing you can best afford to part with, a single word-the name of Him you profess to wor- ship. Let me take that word and all that belongs to it en- tirely out of your life so that you shall never need to hear it or speak of it again. You will be richer' without it. I promise you everything, and this is all I' ask in return. Do you consent? Yes, I consent. If you can take your' price, a word, you can keep your promise, a dream. The stranger laid a long, cool, wet leaf softly across the young man's eyes and the sank into agp-rofbunrf sleep. - ' 1 M,.llLlIRS N , o 25 .When he opened his eyes and saw thesetting sun, he rose and hurried back towards Antioch. As he drew near his iathefs house the old servant ran down to the gate to meet .xmr ff 'fl' - ' I . i r Lord, we have been-seeking you everywhere. The mas- ter is at the. point of death, and has 'sent for you.' I fear thevtime.is.short'. X ' ' ' 7 4 ..His,father.. lay .on..an ivory- couch in the inmost chamber. ' Hermas, my son! Take my hand, Hermas, life is pass- ing. My soul is empty, I am afraid. But you know some? thing better. Tell me what it is.' Your secret, your faith- give it to me before I go. ' ' Father-I will give you the secret of faith. You must believe withall your heart and soul and strength in- Where was the word? . Wait, Father, I shall find it. Yes there is hope. . Tell me, tell me quickly, for I must go. The light be- hind the eyes went out, and Hermas, the master of the House of the Golden Pillars, was keeping Watch of the dead. Ik sk Pk lk Ik ' . When Athenais entered the House of the Golden Pillars as the bride of Hermas, all the music of life came with her, and when a child came. to them, a strong, beautiful boy, Hermas said to Athenais, How deep is-our happiness? my beloved. But there is something that oppresses me like an invisible burden. - I, too, have felt it. I think I know what it means. It is gratitude, there is no perfect joy without gratitude. Come, let us take the boy and give thanks. Hermas lifted the child in his arms and turned with Athenais into the garden. The tones of Hermas were clear and low as he began. Fair is the world, the sea, the sky, in the glow of the morning, in the shadow of the evening, and under the drip- ping light of stars. Fairer, and still more dear is love, that draws us together. We praise, we bless, we thank-- At the end of his flight of gratitude there was nothing, a blank, a hollow space. Let us return, we are mistaken, the gratitude of life is only a dream. There is no one to thank. - A Sk if lk 4' if Whenthe boy -was nine years old, Hermas' black Numi- dian horses won the victory .over a score of rivals. rHermas received the prize carelessly from the judge's hands. He lifted fhis.,son into the chariot' fbeside' him, to 'share' his triump-hsn. As the horses Fpranced' around the ring, 'they dashed violently forward, swerved to the right, tossing the boy to the earth, and when Hermas turned to look for him he was lying like a broken flower on the sand. They car- ried him in a litter to the House of the Golden Pillars, sum- 26 Manor-as - moning the ,most skillful physician of Antioch to attend him. For-hours the child was as quiet as death. The stars waxedgand waned, the sun rose and set, but in the heart of Hermas there was no light. Athenais knelt beside him- Hermas, it is almost over. The child grows weaker hour by hour. Unless a change comes he cannot last beyond sung rise. Is there no one to pity us? Long ago I knew somethingg I think it would have helped us. But I have forgotten it. It is all gone. But I would give all that I have if I could bring it back again, now at this hour, in this time of our bitter troublep ' A slave entered while he was speaking. John of An- tioch has come, and will take no denial. Come, let me go to him. In the central hall John was -standing. ' My son, I have come to comfort you, for I have heard that you are in great trouble. ' It is trueg we are in trouble, our child is dying. I knew something long ago, when I was with you-a word, a name, in which we might have found hope. But I have lost it. My son, you have sinned deeper than you fknow. The word with which you parted so lightly is the key-word of all life. VVithout it the world has no meaning, existence no contentment, and death no refuge. The name of Him, who, though we may forget Him, never forgets usg the name of Him who pities us as you pity your suffering child, the name of Him, who, though we wander farvfrom Him, seeks ussin the wilderness and sends His son, even as His Son has sent me this night, to breathe again that forgotten name in the heart that is perishing without it. Listen, my son, to the name of God, our Father. The lost was found. Hermas stood upright, and liftedhis hands high toward Heaven. Oh, My God, spare the life of this, my child. My Father! My Father! Was it an echo? It would not be, for it came again, the voice of a child clear and low, waking from sleep, and call- ing: l My father! My father!

The firm that I had worked for failed during the war and I had not been able to find steady work since my discharge. Once in a whileI would 71 32 . . . MEMQI? get a job for a day or two, doing odd chores, but most of the time I received the same answer. My clothes were almost in tatters and I had not eaten for a whole, day. I was too proud to beg or ask for help from my tooifew friends, or from the government, so I had to choose between starving or stealing. So far I had managed to get along' without stealing. ' I had no idea where I was going that dark cold night only that I was leaving behind me the last' town which had refused me work. I was already in the suburbs: and hoped to 'find some barn in which to sleep when I noticed. a house set about a hundred feet in from the street. The place was in' a very neglected state. The street light showed the grass which was in front of the house knee high, and' growing between the flag- stones in the walk which led up to the front door. One of the window shutters was hanging at the rakish angle. Alltpointed to the fact that the house had not been tenanted for four or five years. I looked around to see if anyone was in sight and being satisfied that no one was about, I went up the walk and turned to the right. I tried the first window around the cor- ner. It was fastened, but the secondwindow went up with little effort. I drew myself up and climbed into the room. There I was, breaking into a housetlike a common thief without giving it a single thought. What if there were people living there? Someone must own it. If I were caught? I couldn't think of it. I would have to go to somevjail and serve a term and be called a criminal thereafter. But on second thought I decided there could be no tenants, in that room at least. I had felt no rug when I stepped into the room, there were no blinds or curtains in thenwindowsf everylllittle noise had an echo, and a faint musty odor pei-vaded the air. On reconnoiterring, I found that my latter assumption was true. The room was bare of any kind of furniture whatsoever. Sat- isfied that I was alone I picked -out atcorner in whichto spend the night. I must have dozed oE, for I awoke with a start. Someone was entering the house through the front door. My heart started beating so hard thatl thought the intruder must surely hear it. There were two and they were talking. They went through the hall and entered'-the room next to the room where I was. There they continued 'talking and I listened. It'll be easy, one was saying: Now get this straight. This guy makes hardware. No, brass knuckles and handy cuffs. Cut out your funny stuifland listen. He lives on this street further up in a big brown-stone house. all by himself. The safe's in the left corner room on the frontq In the safe is ten thousand pesos in cash. I get a plan of the house. The servants quarters is on de top floor. Anyway the servants will be away on a holiday seein' as the boss's gone to New York on business. The house is the third. after crossin' the railroad-track. Seein' as you are better at safes than I, I'll .l.-Q? .. .MEMQIBSI A 33 -stay outside and watch. Course I kin do it myself, but I .ain't stingy like some fellers. It'l.l be a cinch, like takin' candy from a kid. We'll start for this house about one o'clock. A burglary was beingvplanned !'1 Itimiist' be: prevented., Then a somewhat daring plan took form in my mind. ' . Convincing myself it was the only way, I silentlyuwent out 'through the window. What time was it? I had no way of 'finding out. ,Surely it must be long after twelve. I didn't know how long I had slept, so I hurried up the road devising plan after plan. t My former weariness andhunger left me and my brain worked faster than Ifthought it capable of. I repeated the information I hadefheard- so 'as to memorize fit. The third house across the tracks he had said. There it was. Trees dotted the well kept lawn that surrounded the 'houseand a high wall separated the grounds from the next neighbor's. After glancing around quickly'I darted into the shadow. The -wall ran up close to one .side of the house so that 'I had plenty of protection. Intent on getting inside as quickly as possible I went to the door and tried my bunch of keys. I 'hardly expected to find one that fitted the lock, but there was a chance., As luck would have it, the thirdkeypushed the bolt 'back noiselessly. Opening the door just wide enough to let myself in, I stepped inside and closed the door after me. The house was totally dark. There must be someone left in the house, I thought, so I had to use great caution' against making the slightest noise. ,Q if - -i - The interior was decidely different from 'the 'place from ewhence I had come. I didn't make a sound as Iistepped over the thick, soft rug. Turn to yourleft aftertaking about eight steps, the directions said. I did thisgkand taking a few more steps found myself in a large room-'with heavy pieces of furniture placed artistically around the room. There was just 'enough light for me to see my way to the fireplace. The man had said, at the right of the fireplace, and sure enough, an opening that seemed the door of 'a small cabinet revealed a 'knob of a safe. It ,looked familiar. Yes, it was one of ag 'type which I had made before the war. II had been promoted 'to superintendent of my department, because of my knowledge of the safe mechanism, so it was an easy job for me to open it. There was a large. black box besides some papers in the safe. 'I pried the top off the box with a letter opener which was on 'the table,--andfafter making suregit was money, I closed the safe and shut the little door. I then went out into the hall where on entering I had noticed the gleam of what I guessed to be the telephone. Give me Police Headquarters, quick. I said. It seemed like ages before I heard a Hello over the wire. Pol.ce Headquarters? I asked and. receiving an afiirma- 'tive answer, said, Well, some of my pals is gonna raid a 'house on the Waverly road to-night in about three minutes. 34 Fw pq Mi MEMOIRS, I,t's the third beyond the railroad. If yuh want' to get in you'd :fitter hurry. They dropped me out of this job and I don'tf 1 61 an , I-Hung up the receiver before he could ask questions. As I was turning around Iihappened to strike an empty um-- brella holder. It was one of these tall, round, earthenware: holders, and not knowing what might happen, I-put theiboxein it. Just then a step on the gravel road outside one of the win- dows broke the silence, I-Iastily I hid myself in the portiere: between the hall and the room I had been in. A man's head and shoulders showed in the window. He had a steel tool in his handewhich he inserted beneath the sash and the stillness was again broken by a loud crash. The ser- vants must have been sleeping' very well or else the house was sound-proof, for not-a sound was heard for fullyitwo or three minutes following. Then I- heard a-scratching noise followed by atap on the window,,and a-piece of glass the sizeof a large applelfell with a slight thud on the heavy carpet. Alphandlwas inserted through the hole and unlocked the sash. The window' was then raised and af man drew himself up and swung his feet over. A large disc of light darted around the room-and quickly went out againg Don't forget to whistle, the man said. With that he startedacross the room to the fire-place. The light appeared again, travelling ,from the fire-place towards' the right, and rested on the little' door. He gave a satisfied Ah, and opened the door. The man put his ear close to the safe door and started to twirl the knob. I heard him breathe heavily-then' suddenly a curse. He had missed one. He rubbed his fingers on the carpet to make them- more sen- sitive and this time succeeded in opening the safe. When he found nothing but the papers in the safe, he ran to the window and whispered something to the other fellow who was on guard. The other fellow hurriedly climbed in and went to the safe. He looked into the safe, but saw no money, so he im- mediately began cursing in seven different languages. Just then an automobile was heard to stop outside. They both went to the side of the window and peeped out. They' could not have seen anything for they stood watching for what seemed to me hours. Both men, and I too, were startled by hearing the front door qpen. I had forgotten to lock it. Two- husky mentwentby me into theroom so close that I' could have touched them. The burglars had, on hearing the door open, hidden themselves behind large leather chairs. One of the policemen, for so they proved to be, had a flashlight which he turned on. When he saw the papers strewn on the fioor and the safe door open. he said. We're too late, I guess. No, you're not. The latter came from one of the burglars who leaped on the policeman that happened to be standing in front of the same chair behind which the burglar had hidden. - - 'V MEMGIRSQ' 35- The other btfrgiar'ionlseein'g'both ofiicer's attention fixed on his pal made a 'dash for the window and jumped out-into the: arms' ofa waitingpoliceman. The first burlar- was quickly subduedand handcuffed. The chief then came in, asked a few questions, and then told his men to take the burglars to the machine. As they were going out into the hall the burglar' made' arvain effort to free- himself andinso doing pushed one of the officers against me. The cop pulled me out saying, Thought you were getting away, nlii eh?1'..- ,l e . The burglar guessing that I must have had something to do with the 'emptye safe said, Tough'luck, Larry, you'd better- come along peacefully. It's the only wayf' V . Yes, you ought to know, Slim , said the oflicer who heldl him: i 4 I My pleaxlingdid no good. jW'hat'excuse had I-for hiding in this house? Iff I told ther truth they would most probably' laugh' aitsme. I certainly did not looklike an individual who could afford to spurn ten thousand dollars when all I had to do was to walkout-with them, soil kept my mouth shut and sub- mitted to the handcuffingi Just then asleepy andisurprised butler made his appearance- andtlie chief 'told' him allhe knew. I It was necessary, he said, to leave an officer there as the money had not been found and' he wantevdieverything to remain as it was. I was taken to the police headquarters and locked up in a cell. Weill at' any rate I had a'night's shelter, which was something that had not very often been offered me before. Even though it was a jail, it was betterthan having to sleep on the coldfflooriof a desertd house. It was queer that when I was once locked up in a jail charged with stealing, it didn't seem as bad as I imagined it would. Maybe I had a vague feeling that it would all come out right, or maybe I was tired, but I didn't worry very much,,and I fell asleep soon after be- ing locked up. 1 The next morning I was awakened by an officer who brought me my breakfast. Believe me, that food tasted good. It was the first I had had for a day and two nights. The owner of the house camein soon after. Imagine my astonishment! Itwas Dave Seabury, my buddy overseas. I knew he was in the hardware business, but I never guessed that he was so prosperous. He recognized me right off and listened to my story of the previous night. Before realizing it, we were giving detailed accounts of what had happened to ourselves since the day I was wounded, for I had been sent to a hospital and had stayed there till the end of the war, and we had not seen each other since. n He said he had a 'pull' with the chief and would get me out. As he had come directly to the jail from the train, he took me to his house at once. I there had another breakfast in an en- '36 HEMOIRS ', 1 gregydifferenft kind of a room from the one which I had my . rs . While ,we were smoking after the breakfast, the bell rang. ,The butler announced that the chief wished to speak to Mr. fSeabury. I Show him in, said Dave. - 1 As 'soon as the chief appeared he asked, Where's your sec- retary? He gave one of those burglars a plan of this house and news of the contract. . - ' ' What'? cried Dave. He pushed a button on the desk two for threetinres. ' ' I The chief continued giving details. Dave pushed another button and the butler came to him. -V Go upand tell Henry to come down immediately, he said. Oh, I forgot to tell you, sir, Henry left early this morning before anyone else was up and took all his belongings with him. 'That's all I know sir, replied the butler. All right, said Dave, and the butler then went out of the room. A - s Well,'I'guess the rest is up to you chief. By the way,'you'll have to drop charges against this fellow here, said Dave. Then he gave the account to the chief, with- many details and complimentary additions, for my sake, I supposed, and showed the box which I had taken from itshiding place as- her spoke. 'Well, I guess it's all right, said the chief and bid us 'good-bye. . ' f Dave spoke up then, I need anew secretary. Do you want 'athe job ? , ' 'Does Aa iish want water ? I asked. i - A Carl R.

Home Games. i The game with Taunton on Thanksgiving Day, which ree sulted in a Mansfield victory, gave the wearers ofthe green and white the Bristol County championship.. A local paper: summarized the victory as follows: They came, they saw, and they conquered, and they went too, but only with their captain on their shoulders, and howl-A ing loudly of their victory. Such, in brief, is the story of Mansfield's ripping, smashing uphill fight to a sweet football' triumph over Taunton on Thanksgiving mo-rning at Whitten-- ton Field. ' Both touchdowns were the direct result of Carl' Anderson's' polished football technique. The score which made Mansfield's team the Bristol County' champions, came late in the closing quarter, exactly four min- utes from the end, when Anderson threw a twenty-five yard pass which Chick Cavallo nabbed and ran with forrthreei yards more. Only a few seconds later Anderson, with David, West and Morse for interference, ran around the left end eluding the entire Herring City team on an eight yard run across the goal. Johnson added a point by kicking the goal. Great credit is due every player on the team, for without his aid, Mansfield would be checking up a loss. For Taunton, the work of Higginbotham, M. Cohan and' Tracy stood out above the rest. The lineups : Mansfield C. R. Morse, re Taunton le, Higginbothant S. David, rt F. Fox, rg F. K., Bowers, c J. Lodico, lg H. West, lt F. Cavallo, le S.

Among them were six letter men and a good sea- son was anticipated. -Immediately, however,,we received a hard blow when one of the letter men was declared ineligible to represent the team. Carlton S.

In the opening game the High School boys lost by one point, but in the last game of the yearthey :came back and won by twenty-three points. The team lost at least ten games in heart-breaking finishes. Most of the point getting was done by Johnson, who is rated as the .best forward in Bristol. County. Not only .did he beat his own record of the previous year by an even hundred ipoints, but he also broke the school record held by Coach Horton. - The player who seemed to show the most improvement dur- ing the year was Captain F. K. Bowers, who made a great -defensive back. 1 Johnson led in the scoring with 352 pointsg Cavallo was .second with 1025 Anderson third with 693 David fourth with 40 MEMQIRS ' 653 while Donlan, Bowers and Lodico made 10, eight andl four points, respectively. Wilbur Johnsonihasia record that will be hard to beat in at season. He shot 129 baskets from the floor and dropped in 94 fouls, making a grand total of 352 points for the' season's record. He made just 100 points more than his record of' -last year, which was 101 baskets' from the floor and 50 points from fouls, or 252 points. His record shows that in the: Columbia A. A. game he scored 18 baskets and seven fouls C43 pointsl which surpasses Coach Horton's former record. by three points. ' The next noteworthy event of the year was the defeating' of North Attleboro, for the first time since the days of Prescott, Cobb and Palmer. The score was thirty-four to eight-.

Sharon's strenghth in the field events, coupled with the sensational run- ning of their star, Flemmings, was too much fo' Mansfield. Mansfie'd outscored Sharon in the track events, 22 to 16, but Sharon's men were superior in shot putting and jumping. Flemmirgs of Sharon was the highest individual point getter, winning 16 points-three firsts and a third-besides a first in his heat of the hund ed, yard dash. Johnson of Mansfield, Whi e and Wattendorf of Sharon, each scored a first, second and third. Corgdon of Foxboro won the shot put, and came in second in the mile.

May 30th, Mansfield lost to Foxboro, 11 to six, mainly through their inability to back up their pitchers and to hit Brennan. Foxborc's batting, however, was hard throughout -the game. June 5th, Noonan's swift home run, Johnson's homer, tri- pitching gave Mansfield a 21 to one victory over Canton High. Mansfield made 19 hits and only two errors while Canton made seven errors and but three hits. V June Sth, A decision at the -plate in the ninth was more than Mansfield could stand and they refused to play .any long- er. The game was forfeited to North Easton. At the time the score was one to one and a remarkable game had been played. But three hits were made on Winslow. Johnson's second double followed by singles by David and Dennehy gave Mansfield their only run. June 9th, Owing to their inability toesecure enough play- ers from the High School to represent their team, Sharon for- feited the game. A game against a :pick-up te-am was won by Sharon, 7 to 5. 1 J une 12th, six runs in the first inning on fouijferrors, three bases on 'balls and a hit, followed by threeiniore runs in the third, gave Attleboro a nine run lead, 'andtheywon I0 to ifour. Dooley's double was the longest hit of the game. Cav- 48 MEMOIRS allo, who relieved Winslow in the third, was too much for' Attleboro. V , , wlune 14th, excellent work by Umpire Hanaford allowed Franklin to run away from Mansfield in a revenge game. As it was, however, Franklin would have won anyway as they played errorless ball and secured six hits. Mansfield made' seven errors and the only ones to hit were Gaynor and John- son, who made three hits each. The feature of the game was a long home run by Johnson. By winning this game, Frank- lin won the pennant in the Norfolk Interscholastic League. ' June 16th, Errors again played an important part in Mansiield s third defeat of the week, Foxboro winning five to one. Foxboro scored its FIVE runs on three hits. David pitched a fine game and deserved to win. He struck out nine men and kept the seven hits made oifhim scattered. Gaynor starred both in the field and at bat. ' June 20th, excellent pitching by David and hard hitting by Winslow and Lodico allowed Mansfield to end their season 'by winning over Canton, 11 to one.
