,,,, , 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.

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. -

, 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
