History of the Class of 1920 By ELEANOR R. AMES In September, 1926, we entered Mansfield High School as sophomores. We chose for officers to serve during this eventful year: Irving Green, President; Alice Burr, Vice-President; Lawrence Barrows, Secretary; and Thelma Williams, Treasurer. We were represented in athletics this year by Jalbert, who won a letter in baseball, and H. Houghton, who won a letter in football. Soon we were proudly displaying our class rings, happy in the realization that we were the first sophomore cless to have that privilege. The most successful event of the year was our sophomore class play, given on April 26, in the high school gymnasium. Miss Lyman, our English instructor, coached the play, which was entitled “Sauce for the Goslings”. The cast included Ruby Aiken, Jennie Fiske, Marion Cooney, Warren R. Jones, Jr., Irving Green, Bernard Jalbert, and Eleanor Ames. It was very successful and was well patronized by students, faculty, and alumni. The Preliminary Speaking Contest was also held in April. Ruby Aiken and Albert McGoldrick represented the class this year. June brought our Sophomore year to a close. Then came September, 1927, the month to return and to take up our studies as juniors. Election time also arrived, and the following officers were elected for the year: John Houghton; President; Thelma Williams, Vice-President; Irene Morse, Secretary; and Marion Valente, Treasurer. In February we gave a dance, which was very successful. In April the Preliminary Speaking Contest was held in the Town Hall. Ruby Aiken, Irving Green, and Albert McGoldrick again represented the class. McGoldrick won second place for the boys. Again we were prominent in athletics, and several of our members won letters. Dorothy O’Connor and Irene Morse were awarded letters in girls’ basketball; while in baseball, Jaibert and Sehron were successful. In football, Jalbert and H. Houghton, and in basketball, Jaibert, Green and H. Houghton were the winners. Then in June we held the annual prom in honor of the graduating class. After considering several well-known orchestras, we finally decided to employ the services of Bernard Loring and his assistants. The reception was most satisfactory, owing to the efficient committees in charge, under the supervision of our faculty adviser, Mr. James Kelly. Another school year closed, and we received the usual two months’ vacation. In September we returned again to our studies as seniors. This wes the year to which we had been looking forward for several years. At our first class meeting we elected officers for 1928 and 1929 as follows: Irving Green, President; Marion Valente, Vice-President; Thelma Williams, Secretary : and Eleanor Ames, Treasurer. Our first activity was the senior class play, which was presented on Thanksgiving evening in the Town Hall before a large audience. ‘‘Seven Keys to Baldpate” was one of the most successful of the recent high school productions, thanks to the efforts of the cast and the coach, Professor Connor. We were well represented this year in the Preliminary Speaking Contest. Four of our members, Ruby Aiken, Marie Leary, Albert McGold- rick, and Eleanor Ames, were selected to compete. McGoldrick won first place for the boys in the preliminaries and second place for boys in the Singleton Contest. [27 |
