During the last year Dodo ' has-been somewhat connected with the baseball team.. George means husband fmanj.

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.

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.

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.
