In Ye Yeare Booke the staff has turned the spotlight of public- ity upon the members of the Class of 1931. “he snapshots, statistics, and “household furnishings” add a personal touch, which will recall pleasant memories to us twenty-five or thirty years from now when we read over old papers. To compile the records contained in Ye Yeare Booke of 1931 has been to the staff a great pleasure. ELSMORE AUSTIN “Oh, Lord!” Elzie is one of our most agreeable and cheerful boys. Shall we ever forget when his boyish expression turned into that of a stern bishop in the class play—or when, on rainy days, he trudged to school with the faithful “Pedro” at his heels? “Bishop”, Class Play; Press Club 28; Science Club ’29; Decorating Committee, Senior Reception; Masquerade Party. LUCY BALDELEI “Scram ie Although this damsel is small, it is sur- prising how much she can say. Her daily speeches deal with everything under the sun— all crowded into the brief space of a few min- utes, ° Usher, Class Play; Decorating Committee, Senior Reception; Girls’ Glee Club ’28, ’29. CYRIL BELLAVANCE “Yeah? Well, you're mistaken!” Although quiet and unassuming, Belly never remains in the background. We think he must be under the power and guidance of a certain lucky star, and we secretly suspect that it must be “Ambition”. __ President ’28, ’29; Vice-President ’30, 731; Captain, Basketball ’31; Business Manager, “Green Parrot” ’31; Class-ring Committee ‘29; Committee, “Green Parrot” Party ’380; Boys’ Glee Club ’29, ’30, ’31; Senior-Motto Commit- tee ’29; Ticket Committee, Senior Reception; Class Night Committee ’31; Captain, Football 30; Basketball ’29, ’30, ’31; Baseball 29,50: Tournament 229, 730, 731. VITTORIO BELLUCCI “Whew!” A boy whose sole ambition is to be able to juggle algebraic expressions and ancient his- tory dates—enter Bellucci. Property Committee, Class Play; Ticket Committee, Senior Reception; Boys’ Glee Club 28.629, ols ol, RITA BENNETT “My Word!” Rita is one of the most popular girls in: the class. This, however, is not surprising. Who wouldn’t be with a dazzling smile, incess- ant talk, and a way of making friends so easily ?

Ede GERTRUDE BONNEY “Gee, that’s peachy!” Our “Bonnie Brat” with the blue, blue eyes has charmed audiences in every speaking con- test for the past three years. She is accom- plished in many other ways, and is—oh, so very popular!

MYRTLE BOWLIN “Oh shoot!” A hushed silence reigns in the room. Sud- denly, rippling silvery cords are produced on the pianoforte under Myrtle’s magic touch.

MARGARET BUCK “No, J don’t care.” Do you remember pretty golden-haired Margaret as “Angel Child” in the class play? She is so pleasant that we were surprised to find her taking the part of a deceitful young woman. Maggie desires to be a nurse—one at a time please, patients. “Angela’”’, Class Play; Girls’ Glee Club ’28, 29, 730; Latin Club ’381; Speaking: Contest, ’30; Usher, Senior Recept ion. ALICE CALHOUN “Lord nol’ Blonde—calm—serene—wonderful dancer —cute clothes—a fine girl. Candy Committee, Class Play; Chairman Decorating Committee, Senior Reception ’30; Masquerade Party ’30. LOUISE CAPONE “Oh, that’s nothing!” i} Leave it to Louise to get mixed up on a note or draft in bookkeeping class, but she does know the fundamentals of the subject from be- ginning to end. Except when she is participat- ing in a heated discussion, Louise is usually quiet. Candy Committee, Class Play; Pro Merito; Basketball Numerals ’29, ’30. FLORENCE CAPEK “Oh, yah?” Florence came to us at the beginning of the senior year, but since she is a good mixer, it did not take her long to become acquainted with us all. She is an excellent dressmaker and believes that variety in clothes is the spice ot life. “Better be out of the world than out of style,” says Flo. Usher, Class Play; Basketball ’29; Glee Club ’31. DORIS CHASE “Well, of all things!” She is like a little sparrow—always dart- ing hither and thither, picking up little crumbs of news, and chirping bright sayings to any attentive ear. We wonder how she finds time to write poetry after her busy rounds are made. French Club ’28; Book and Scroll Club ’28; Latin Club ’28; Girls’ Glee Club ’28, 729, 780, 31; Ticket Committee, Senior Reception; Snap- shots, Ye Yeare Booke; Candy Committee, Class Play; Basketball ’29. DAISY CLARK - “Now. 7e:ehaeeeteeea A curly-headed youngster with an appeal- ing pertness—always well groomed—never a wave gone astray—there We have Dee, who was the saucy little “Dot” in the class play. Glee Club ’28, ’29, ’30; Decorating Com- mittee, Senior Reception; “Dot” Class Play. EDNA CONNOLLY “Ohd,isn’t that awful!” Kitty is a quiet girl who performs her daily tasks in a calm and tranquil manner. We have never seen her in a state of extreme ex- citement. When asked what her favorite hob- bies were, she unhesitatingly answered, ‘Kat- ing fudge and cake.” Nature Club ’28; Property Committee, Class Play. JAMES COONEY “Aw, that’s pune? “Wow! Who made that basket?” we ask. “Why, Bud of course,” someone answers. “That dark-haired fellow with a nonchalant air.” Mansfield High is going to lose a valuable man when Bud packs his trunk for his life’s journey.

[10 J ROBERT DAVIS SOW lisees: “He reminds me of a politician.” “A butler would be more like him, I think.” “Oh, but he has the countenance of an English professor—” Chorus—‘We surrender, which will it be, Bob?” “Timson”, Class Play; Decorating Com- mittee, Senior Reception. GEORGE DePRIZIO “T understand perfectly.” George’s most striking characteristics are his sociability and brilliant witticisms. Be- cause he inspires confidence, we entrusted to him the task of guiding the destinies of the class by electing him president for the junior and senior years. He is a zealous worker; no task seems too great for him. During our high school years, he has excelled in his studies and has frequently displayed his ability as a writer and speaker.

DOROTHY DODS [On gee!” Dot is so petite and dainty that she some- how reminds us of old silks and laces. She has a marvelous faculty for hiding her de- pressed feelings and showing us the cheerful side of herself. Girls’ Glee Club ’29, 730, ’31; Usher, Class Play; Refreshment Committee, Reception; Lat- in Club ’29, ’30, ’31; Ticket Committee, Class Play. KENNETH DUSTIN “You were good.” Freckles—widely advertised red hair—a broad grin—very popular with young women— wonderful speaker—striking personality. What a lad!

VIRGINIA ENGLER “Think so?” “Ginnie” goes on her way with a counten- ance that is free from solicitude and anxiety. Her quiet drawl presents a contrast to the harsh voices we hear all around us—a voice which soothes jagged nerves on busy days and is pleasant to hear on warm and lazy days. Girls’ Glee Club ’28, ’29, ’30; Alumni Ed- itor, “Green Parrot” ’29; Usher, Senior Re- ception; “Jane”, Class Play. [11] LILLIE FARINELLA “Gee, isn’t that funny.” We wonder where lively, energetic Lillie got her inspiration to write “Dreamy Moon”. We’re sure her singing powers are a gift from the goddess of song. Perhaps some day we shall hear her singing “La Boheme” over the radio.

The First National Express, composed of Fred and his bicycle, dashes madly down the street. Within the grim walls of dear Alma Mater Freddy is more busy than ever. Advertising and Program Committees, Class Play. LOUISE GARAFANO “Oh, my stars!” If there is going to be a party of some sort, we know that dark-eyed Louise is giving it. She seems to be cut out for entertaining, even in study periods. Usher, Senior Reception; Candy Commit- tee, Class Play; Pro Merito; Glee Club ’29, 730; Humor Ye Yeare Booke; Basketball ’80; Pub- lic Speaking Club 728. WILLIAM DiGIOVANNI “For cryin’ out loud!” Bill’s grin is so contagious that even the teachers surrender when he is on duty as an athletic collector. Bill’s special weakness is sports. Doesn’t he look it?

I. T. Tourney ’380. IRA GRAY, JR. “Say, how nice!” A noble young man of the world—debon- air, very much so—possesses a quiet, subtle humor. which arouses chuckles in classrooms— a gentleman. Ticket Committee, Class Play; Pro Merito; Treasurer ’28, ’31; Class-night Committee; Usher, Senior Reception; Words to Ode ’31. [12] WINNIFRED GREEN “Of all things.” A quiet young lady, with lustrous brown hair and an appealing smile—possesses all the qualities which make a good friend—a sweet demoiselle, we say. Secretary ’28; Usher, Class Play; Glee pee, 30. Pehl AIL TZ “Oh, where's that fountain pen?” iithel has unusual ability in relating all the events of a party “the morning after the night before’. Do we need to add that her audience is usually very attentive during these discourses’ However, Ethel does not always employ her time in talking, for she is very serious in her school work. Public Speaking Club ’28; Book and Scroll Club ’29; Glee Club ’30; Refreshment Commit- tee, Senior Reception; “Mrs. Forrester”, Class Play; Pro Merito. GEORGE JORDAN “Huh?” “For all is jolly and all is free”, whistles George as he goes from room to room perform- ing his various harmless pranks. A class-room without the presence of this young man is a dull room, indeed. We know Jordan’s favor- ite subject is American History, for he becomes very excited while relating any historical event. Advertising and Program Committee, Class Play; Boys’ Glee Club, ’28, ’29; Adver- tising Committee, Senior Reception. RUBY LADD OP MINCE STS A courteous and affable Ruby, who is neither very talkative nor forward—just right —always obliging us with a favor—and the best person to spend a warm afternoon with— she is pleasant. Usher, Class Play; Latin Club ’29, ’30, ’31; Decorating Committee, Senior Reception; Girls’ Glee Club, ’29, 730. Pe or LOVELY “Don't kid yourself.” Hazel is a very energetic girl in her stud- ies. During recess periods she is always sur- rounded by a noisy group of classmates. Their password seems to be “Come one, come all, but bring your strongest vocal powers!” The prob- lem is, Who does the listening ? Chairman, Candy Committee, Class Play; Girls’ Glee Club ’29, 780; Decorating Comumit- tee, Senior Reception. eis) | STANLEY MacPHADDEN “Take it easy.” Stanley is noted for his tenor voice and his ability to lead the Collegians. His flourishes with the baton display, we think, the mark of genius. Boys’ Glee Club ’29, ’80, ’31; Chairman, Orchestra Committee, Class Play; Advertising Committee, Senior Reception. RUSSELL McAULIFFE “Can you beat it?” Russ is the famous athlete who came to us from Foxboro—making Foxboro’s loss our gain. He is a happy-go-lucky pal, always ready for fun and action. Property Committee, Class Play; Usher, Senior Reception; Football ’31; Basketball ’30; Baseball 730; M. I. T. Tourney ’30. ELEANOR MERRILL “Aw, deel Beauty and art. El is, we think, the most artistic girl in the class. Her drawing are admired by everyone, but Kk] has an uncontroll- able leaning towards the fascinating art of toe-dancing. However, waltzes, foxtrots, one steps—in fact, any steps are irresistible to El’s twinkling feet. Usher, Class Play; Artist, Ye Yeare Booke; Latin Club ’30; Advertising Committee, Senior Reception; Girls’ Glee Club ’28, ’29, ’31. HARRY MITCHELL “Stop itl” Some people can hide all their tom-fool- eries by a grin: that’s Harry. He is always an affable and obliging fellow. Do we need to add that he has many friends? President 728; Advertising and Program Committee, Class Play; Baseball ’29; Boys’ Glee Club ’29, ’80; Ticket Committee, Junior Reception. VELIA MORETTI “Really?” Velia possesses a superabundance of hob- bies, the outstanding ones being drawing and writing. She is blessed with that rare combina- tion—humor and common sense—but her out- standing quality is her charm. The girls are all inclined to envy her her hair, and they are justified in doing so.

[14 ] FRANCES MOSCZYNSKI “Say!” Don’t be surprised if you see an assorted group of tall, short, bold, bashful girls huddled in a corner. They are all Fritzi’s friends, lis- tening to everything she has to say. Fritzi is democratic and natural—that is why she has so many friends. Candy Committee, Class Play; Advertising Committee, Senior Reception; Debating and Publicity Club ’28. WINIFRED NICKERSON “Now Listen!” A good worker—alert—calm—agreeable. Initials spell WIN. Wonder where she hides her frowns—totally independent of anyone—a great girl with two feet firmly planted on the royal road to success. Usher, Class Play; Debating Club ’28; Dramatic Club ’28; Public Speaking Club ’28; Girls’ Glee Club ’29. LAURA PALLADINO “Fla, ha, that’s a good one!” Wherever Laura is, you may be sure to find an abundance of entertainment and fun. One! witty saying follows another in quick suc- cession, and no one is ever bored in her pres- ence. She is one of the most sociable and one of the best natured girls in the class. Candy Committee, Class Play; High School Orchestra; Basketball ’29, ’30, ’31. ALLEN PALMER “T don't believe it.” Wampie is the only really blonde member of our “stronger sex”. He is neither loqua- cious nor mischievous—just a real fellow who can refresh us during tedious class hours by his quiet humor. Orchestra Committee, Class Play; Pro Mer- ito; Boys’ Glee Club; High School Orchestra; Baseball ’30; Football ’31; Baseball ’31. VIRGINIA PALTZ “That's great!” “Tt is nice to be natural when you’re nat- urally nice.” How well this applies to calm gray-eyed Virginia. She is the kind of girl who makes a true and life-long friend. Orchestra Committee, Class Play; Copy- reader, “Green Parrot”; Humor, Ye Yeare Booke. as | LUELLA PAULSON Sor Polly attained the most honored position in the class as Valedictorian. But don’t think for one moment that Polly is a book worm or a boring “grind”. She has been prominent and very popular in all school activities. She is a good-natured girl and always ready for fun. Shall we ever forget her giggles in Latin class?

GILDA PELLEGRINI “Oh, my eyel” Trust Gil to become terribly excited in any heated discussion. She is one of our most ardent lovers of music and confesses a weak- ness for the waltz and the breath-taking opera. Without doubt, Gil is the most temperamental girl in the class. Candy Committee, Class Play; Copy-read- er, Humor Editor, “Green Parrot”; Dramatic Club ’28; Decorating Committee, Reception; Girls’ Glee Club ’29, ’30, ’31; Pro Merito. FRANCES PERRY “Won't that be corker, huh?” A pretty girl, to describe whom requires many, many adjectives—lively, witty, ambi- tious—we could go on forever if space did not forbid. Suffice it to say that Fran is our con- ception of the ideal school girl.

ARGON: PEPER “Sure, that’s it.” . Arlon reminds us of atoms we study about in physics. They’re with us, but we don’t know it. He is as secretive about his private doings as Greta Garbo is about hers. He is a hard worker. We have heard that almost all great men have been silent workers during their youth. Ticket Committee, Class Play. MAXWELL ROBERTS “Oh well, what are you going to do about it?” Many a girl has secretly yearned for one of Maxie’s curls. “Why do boys get the best tresses anyway?” they say. But Maxie just passes by this ancient question with a bored smile, for Maxie is a serious fellow. Advertising and Program Committees, Class Play; Usher, Senior Reception. [16 ] WILLIAM ROTELLA “T don’t believe you.’ Billy evidently believes that men should have the same rights as women in so far as changing the mind gozs. He certainly does exercise this right as far as vocations are con- cerned. He decides on a different one every day of the week.

IRIS SIMEONI “Oh G’wan.” “Where do we go from here, girls?” That’s Iris; she is always prepared for more activity and excitement. Her motto, to which she dili- gently adheres, is “Life is not life at all with- out delight’’. Dramatic Club ’28, ’29, ’30; Typist, Copy- reader, “Green Parrot’; Pro Merito; Usher, Class Play; Decorating Committee, “Green Parrot” Party. LAURAENTHIA SLOAN “No kiddin’ !” Calm, blonde Lauraenthia has three fine qualities—ambition, individuality, and. an 2S nature. What a combination of vir- tues!

She has teeth that would make a Hawaiia n green with envy. Louise could talk steadily for hours without our being aware of the time. Reason? She’s interesting. Dramatic Club ’28; Glee Club ’29, ’30; Typist, “Green Parrot”; Decorating Committee, Senior Reception; Candy Committee, Class Play. MARY SOUZA “T could have died laughing.” If giggling were a crime, Tiny would sure- ly be a master criminal. With her around, the hours seem like minutes. Mary is an excellent seamstress. Candy Committee, Class Play; Gold Piece, Bookkeeping 730; Glee Club ’29, 7380. HOWARD ssaeeC VaR: “Well, I don’t believe it.” Saint is not what his name implies. Wher- ever he is, you’ll surely find an outbreak of that famous American disease, nerves. He employs his time in thinking up original pranks and vaudeville hits. But his presence in a room is like a light in the darkness, for he is always sure to attract attention. Boys’ Glee Club ’29, ’30, ’31; Stage Lights, Class Play; Refreshment Committee, Senior Reception. HERBERT STEARNS “Now, that’s the limit!” Here is our big, strong he-man. An ex- cellent athlete, he is noted for his determination in sports and studies. He is one of those rare persons who can combine extra curricular ac- tivities with studies, and excel in both.

BARBARA STONE “Oh, my cowl” Where, oh where, does Bobbie store her vitality? She seems to be everywhere at the same time. And, believe it or not, we’ve never seen her peacefully reclining in a chair even for a minute. Glee Club ’29; Usher, Class Play; Latin Club, ’29; Basketball ’29, ’30, ’31; Usher, Senior Reception. RALPH STRANG “You don't say!” We'll wager that Strang is the calmest boy in the class. Ralph has won fame during his school life by his numerous sketches and caricatures. Oh, poor notebook covers when Strang is around!

GLADYS SWEET “Maybe.” Glad is the sort of girl who is content to sit by and smile at other people’s doings. She is quiet and agreeable.

[ 18 } ALLEN TUCKER “Who said so?” Al is an all-round good fellow, who has won well-deserved recognition as leader of “The Collegians”. ‘Smile and the world smiles with you”, Tucker says as he taps his foot to the tune of his snappy orchestra.

RAYMOND THAYER “You really mean it?” Close-ups: Ray, the husky red-head on the football field—Ray doing bookkeeping with his sleeves rolled up—Ray enjoying a good joke.

Commercial Subjects exe History of the Class of 1931 By Laura L. WESTHAVER In September, 1927, the Class of 1931 opened the first volume of its high school life. “The students selecting the college course felt really “grown up’, for they were given the privilege of going to the High School building. Owing to a lack of room there, the rest of us stayed in the Junior High building, but we didn’t mind this very much. Our classmates in the Senior High School elected Cyril Bellavance, president ; Luella Paulson, vice-president; Winnifred Green, secretary; and Ira Gray, treasurer. Mr. Kelly was appointed advisor. Mr. Durost took general charge of the commercial freshmen. We elected Harry Mitchell, president; Lauraenthia Sloan, vice-president; Laura Westhaver, secretary; and Allen Tucker, treasurer. Early in October I overheard the following conversation : “Did any of you girls go to the class meeting yesterday afternoon?’ nINo:” “Well, wait until I tell you. We're going to have a Hallowe’en party.” Pisad that great! Where?” “Oh, we'll have it in the High School gym, I suppose.” “What’ll we do?” “Have a dance and entertainment.” And so, just before Hallowe’en, we held our first social. Time slid along very quietly until about the first of June, when someone sug- gested that we find a way to spend the money which we had accumulated by means of class dues. We were all willing to “take a day off” to go on a picnic. So an outing at the Wonderland Camp in Sharon closed our year as freshmen. After a pleasant vacation, we returned in September, 1928. “Think of it! We're really sophomores. Next year we'll be giving the re- ception to the seniors!’ “This seemed to be the prevailing thought in our minds. Miss Lyman became our advisor. Cyril Bellavance was again elected presi- dent; “IK”? Dustin, vice president; Lauraenthia Sloan, secretary; and George DePrizio, treasurer. One day about the middle of February there was a great commotion. No mat- ter where one looked, he could see a sophomore surrounded by admiring juniors or seniors. “What's the big attraction?’ someone asked. “Why, haven’t you heard? The sophs have their rings. They’re pretty special, too.” We certainly were proud of them. In April the annual preliminary speaking contest took place, and what an applause Gert Bonney was accorded when she was announced the winner of the second place for the girls! Dustie and George DePrizio also were congratulated on their good work. We were very happy one morning when we were told that the boys were to be awarded letters for the good work that they had done in athletics, because this was the first year that they had been permitted to participate in the school sports. Coach [25 ] Kelly presented Cy Bellavance, Bill DiGiovanni, and Herbie Stearns with football letters; Cy Bellavance, Bill DiGiovanni, and Bud Cooney with basketball letters; and Manager Herbie Stearns, Cy Bellavance, Bill DiGiovanni, Bud Cooney, and Harry Mitchell with baseball letters. When we learned that Bellavance, DiGiovanni, and Cooney were to take part in the Brockton ‘Tournament, we were very proud. For their good work in basketbali, Laura Palladino, Barbara Stone, Louise Capone, Luella Paulson, Florence Lee, and Doris Chase were honored with class numerals, presented by Miss Kohler. About the middle of June we closed another volume of our high school life. September, 1929, brought us back as gay juniors, eager for fun and knowledge. Under Mr. Sargent, our class advisor, we elected George for our president; Belly for our vice president, and Lauraenthia for our secretary-treasurer. About Christmas time I heard the following conversation and was delighted: “And we're going to have a real Santa Claus.” “Yes, and you should see the lovely tree and decorations that have been put up. And AI Pare and his orchestra are going to play for the dancing.” Yes, you've guessed right. All this fuss was about a Christmas party. It was well attended by the students of the school, with the alumni as their guests. For our next social event we joined with the seniors in a masquerade party. “Gee, isn’t your dress cute!” “Vee, I think yours is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.” And to such exclamations, Velia demurely answered: “Oh, thank you.” Of course Velia captured the first prize offered to the girls for the best costume. In April came the annual speaking contest in the Town Hall. Gert Bonney, Margaret Buck, George DePrizio, and Kenneth Dustin represented us. How pleased we were when one of the judges announced that Gertrude had won first place for the girls and would help Bob Freeman represent our school in the finals. This event took place in Canton the last of May. Dustie and George tied for second place. The morning after the finals) Mr. Robinson called an assembly. We all waited with strained ears to hear what he was going to say that “morning after the night before’. (Gert had carried away the third prize! ‘The little speech that she made will always linger in our memories. I don’t think it had ever before taken us so long to recover from the morning exercises. This year our green and white banner floated still higher. Captain Bellavance, Manager White, Bill DiGiovanni, Bud Cooney, Herbie Stearns, Al Tucker, and Ray ‘Thayer were applauded when Coach Kelly presented them with football letters. We felt greatly honored when Manager Strang, Russ McAuliffe, Cy Bellavance, Bud Cooney, and Bill DiGiovanni, received basketball letters. In addition to these honors, Captain DiGiovanni, Manager Dustin, Russ McAuliffe, Bud Cooney, Cy Bella- vance, and Allen Palmer received baseball letters. “The following girls were awarded with class numerals for their good work on the girls’ basketball team: Lauraenthia Sloan, Louise Garofano, Lillie Farinella, Laura Palladino, Louise Capone, and Bar- bara Stone. About the first of May we began to plan for the junior reception. And how we did work! Committees were formed, and we took up the work enthusiastically. More than once I heard: [ 26 | “Have you got your dress for the reception yet? What color is it and how long is it? How’s it made?” After this successful event, we joined the vacationists once more. At the end of a most pleasant summer we returned as exalted. seniors. Mrs. Olsen then became our class advisor. At our first meeting we elected George De- Prizio, president; Cyril Bellavance, vice president; Laura Westhaver, secretary; and Tra Gray, treasurer. In early October excitement was brought into our midst: we tried out for the class play. Because of the amazing amount of talent displayed, I’m sure that Mrs. Morse and Mrs. Olsen found it very hard to select the “all-star” cast. Our good- natured Ethel was given the part of Mrs. Forrester, a rather supercilious society woman. George became McMillan Forrester, an author of note; Dustie, red- headed Steve, who fell in love with a girl from the night courts. Elsmore made a very distinguished-appearing Bishop Ware. Laura was Mrs. Ware, the quiet wife of the bishop; Daisy, Dot, the saucy little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ware; Vir- ginia, Jane Depew, a very proud spinster; Margaret, Angela, the jovial angel child. Bob Davis, as Timson, made a typical Irish butler; Luella, as Margot, the best natured and most generous housekeeper one ever saw; while Gertrude played the part of the Brat, a girl from the night courts. Although we ali labored hard to make. this play a success, there was much fun along with the work. I know that not one of the cast will ever forget the won- derful time that we had at the party which Mrs. Morse gave us. For high scholastic standing the following students were given membership in the Pro Merito Society: Luella Paulson, George DePrizio, Herbert Stearns, Ira Gray, Ernest White, Lillie Farinella, Louise Garofano, Gertrude Bonney, Louise Capone, Allen Palmer, Frances Perry, Iris Simeoni, Gilda Pellegrini, and Laura Westhaver. This year our class was again well represented in athletics, for football and baseball letters were awarded to Cyril Bellavance, William DiGiovanni, James Cooney, Herbert Stearns, Allen Tucker, Raymond Thayer, and Ralph Strang. To Manager Dustin and Allen Palmer football letters were awarded. Laura Palladino, Lauraen- thia Sloan, and Barbara Stone were presented with class numerals. For the second time Gertrude Bonney captured the first prize for the girls in the preliminary speaking contest. kenneth Dustin was honored with second for the boys, while George DePrizio followed him closely, receiving honorable mention. Much credit is due to some of the members of our class for the success of the school paper, the “Green Parrot”. “The following have served on the staff: Luella Paulson, manager of copy-readers, news editor, and associate editor; George DePrizio, associate editor and editor-in-chief; Cyril Bellavance, reporter for the Athletic Asso- ciation and business manager; Rita Bennett, typist, copy-reader, and exchange editor; Myrtle Bowlin, copy-reader; Kenneth Dustin, humor editor; Virginia Paltz, copy- reader; Virginia Engler, alumni editor; Barbara Griffin, typist; Velia Moretti, lit- erary editor; Gilda Pellegrini, copy-reader and humor editor; Frances Perry, senior reporter and joke editor; Iris Simeoni, typist and copy-reader; Lauraenthia Sloan, head typist; Louise Soldani, typist; and Ralph Strang, art editor. On the sixth of April, Mr. Robinson called a class meeting to make known [27] the honor parts. Luella Paulson was announced valedictorian, and George DePrizis, salutatorian. It was at this same meeting that Velia Moretti was chosen to write the class prophecy, Kenneth Dustin to draw the class will, and Laura Westhaver to prepare the class history. On May ninth we held our class night exercises in the Mansfield Tavern. On June 17 the graduation exercises were held in the Mansfield Town Hall. With the reception which was tendered us on June 19 by the incoming seniors, we closed the final chapter of our high school life. The Prophecy By Veta A. Moretti It is the year 3000 A. D. As I am sauntering along the Angel Gabriel Hall in one of the various buildings in Paradise, I suddenly spy a door upon which are in- scribed the words, ‘‘Annals of Former Mortals on Earth”. Quietly I turn the knob and tip-toe into a huge marble chamber. On its walls are shelves, divided into sections, laden with large, black folios. I gaze lazily about until my eye rests upon a card reading “Chronicles of the Class of 1931, Mansfield, Massachusetts, U.S. A.” I gasp and walk towards it. The first book that I seize bears the name Ethel Hiltz. I turn to a page entitled “Important Accomplishments’ and find that Ethel was president of the “Society for the Prevention of the abuse of Wild Grandmas” and the founder of the “Association for the protection of P. A. M. Owners” (Pushcarts, Austin, or Mobile Organ Own- exs-) The second book relates the accomplishments of Louise Garofano. She was the world’s most famous tea hostess and invented the starchless, double-layer pickle sandwich. The next book is inscribed with the name Fred Fisher. I discover that Fred startled the whole world by his spectacular dive from the roof of the Woolworth Building into the Hudson River. Allen Palmer, an engineer, supervised the deepening of the Rumford River, thus making it possible for boats to leave the port of Mansfield for the Atlantic Ocean. On the same river Howard St. Cyr and William DiGiovanni, with the aid of Amos, Andy, Uncle Abe, and David, operated a ferry to and from the opposite banks of Mansfield and West Mansfield. Mary Souza and Lenox Prescott, noted Adagio dancers, nightly displayed their ‘Terpsichorean ability at the Pastime Theatre, on the Great White Way. Edna Connolly, upon the death of Marlene Dietrich, replaced her as a famous siren of the screen. George DePrizio became famous for his skill in the hazardous task of oper- ating an elevator in the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Chapin Warren was the captain of an excursion boat for tired business men, on Fulton’s Pond. The next book contained a list of popular song hits sung by Arlon Piper, [ 28 | “America’s Boy Friend”, ““Che Playboy of Morocco”, and “The Man with the Boom- ing Voice’. Barbara Stone was a missionary in the Zululands, teaching the natives how to be saucy but nice. Ernest White and Raymond Thayer became famous because of their successful experiment in under sea flying on a “‘Mexican Blindfish”. Lucy Baldelli and Lillie Farinella, members of the “Foxboro, Norton, Mansfield Opera Company’, published a C flat sy mphony named “Moonlight on the Winnecunet Waters’. Elsmore Austin spent ten years among the icy waters of Alaska, in the hope ot finding the rendez-vous of the nation’s missing cuff links. He returned discouraged. Robert Davis wrote a series of books entitled ‘““The Hardships and Handicaps ea butler’. Laura Palladino was editor of the “Do Tell” tabloid of Mansfield City. Luella Paulson, before the United States Senate, made a fiery speech, in which she upheld women’s rights in the Mansfield Fire Department. Dorothy Dods was an executive of the “Cairo Railroad Corporation’, the most powerful organization in Dark Africa. Vittorio Belluci, after concentrating for sixteen years, presented to Einstein a scientific problem so difficult to understand that that most eminent man died in his strenuous attempt to solve it. Iris Simeoni, as captain of the “U.S. Air Squadron”, made a midnight raid in Alaska, in search of intoxicating coffee seeds. Ruby Ladd, by intensive research, discovered certain leaping molecules which cause the common “student spring fever’. Ira Gray was a travelling salesman of the “Murad Nonchalance Company”, demonstrating steel covered pencils for nervous people. Louise Capone devised a compound which was guaranteed to overcome lum- bago, bashfulness, toothache, and extra weight. Winnie Nickerson lived until the ripe old age of ninety years sans wrinkles or grey hair. Herbert Stearns and Russell McAuliffe, star football players of the Green ‘Tigers, invented the non-skid square cornered foot-ball, which they named ‘‘Square- rigger’. Eleanor Merrill, a noted ballet dancer, exhibited before the U. S. Fish Squad her famous Black Bass Dance. Louise Soldani, during a meeting of ‘The Secret Six-Cylinders”, demonstrated an ingenious method of driving through Main street at a late hour with one head- light. Marion Ulm, an energetic philanthropist, aided in the erecting of the Rumford River Watchtower for the search of lost souls. Gilda Pellegrini and Virginia Engler, after an expedition into the forests of the Blue Hills, returned with an army of forty thousand trained elephants. Kenneth Dustin, because of an inspiring speech entitled ‘““Why We Barbers Praise the Art of Silence’, was elected president of the National Barbers’ Association. Gladys Sweet, as the “World’s Daredevil” in the Ringley Brothers’ Circus, thrilled spectators by performing cartwheels on a suspended wire. [ 29 } Daisy Clark was head beauty specialist in the “Foxdale Curlycue and Fish- hook Shoppe’’. Ralph Strang, by sketching the poetic surroundings of Mansfield, became a world-famed artist. Frances Perry and Winnie Green, noted women doctors, toured India during an industrial depression, distributing to the natives their yellow pills for “That Sink- ing Feeling”. Margaret Buck was chosen beauty queen at the yearly pageant held at the Norton City Reservoir. Hazel Lovely and Doris Chase ascended Niagara Falls in a torpedo-shaped canoe. Gertrude Bonney, six weeks in succession appeared on Broadway, as little Eva - in “Crossing the Ice Packs”. Stanley McPhadden, wild western bronco-buster, crossed the continent on the back of a wild buffalo. Laura Westhaver, alias “The Lioness of Wall Street’, by investing in button holes and shoe-strings became wealthy over night. Florence Capek, costume designer, aroused universal interest by her statement that stuffed pigeons were to serve as decorations for the new brimless, flat crown hats. Myrtle Bowlin and Paderewski played ““The Waltz of the Snow-White Swan” before the royal court of Egypt on the banks of the River Nile. Allen Tucker was an assistant curtain raiser during the daily television per- formances of “The Collegians’’. Frances Mosczynski was an able assistant of Buster Keaton by supplying her well-modulated giggles as sauce to his humorous quips. James Cooney and Cyril Bellavance, by scattering rat traps about the Norton Woods managed to collect one thousand fox skins. Rita Bennett, international newspaper correspondent, was widely honored because of her request for a men’s suffrage bill. She stated that after many years of study and observation, she was now thoroughly convinced of the urgent need of such a bill. George Jordan, in a three wheel car on the Norton-Mansfield Speedway, broke the world’s speed record in one arm driving. Alice Calhoun demonstrated before the “Mercury School of Posture” her wide- ly advertised “‘airy glide”. Harry Mitchell and William Rotella, as the “Twin Gigolos of Monte Carlo’, rushed hither and yon, breaking and mending the hearts of fluttering beauties. Lauraenthia Sloan, by typing one hundred words a minute on a Chinese collap- sible typewriter, was awarded the International Typewriting Prize. The last book contained the name of Maxwell Roberts. I found that Max- well had been head of the “Priscilla Alden School of Self Expression” for struggling young swains. No sooner had I laid down this last folio than I heard heavy footsteps echo- ing in the hall. I knew that Abel and Cain, the night watchmen, were making their nightly rounds. I waited until the footsteps died away. Then, pulling my hood over my head, I gave a last look at the antiquated volumes and hurried away. [ 30 } Class Will By KENNETH DUSTIN We, the Class of 1931, of the Mansfield High School, State of Massachusetts, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and desirous of settling our school affairs, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, making null and void all other wills previously made by us.

In testimony whereof, we hereby set our hand and seal this Ninth day of May, A. D. One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-one. Witness: JACK OAKIE (SEAL) DOROTHY DIS CSEA 1.32] Valedictory By LuELLA A. PAULSON “To every man there openeth A way and ways and a way. The high soul climbs the high way, ‘The low soul gropes the low, And in between, on the misty flats, The rest drift to and fro; But to every man there openeth A high way and a low— And every man decideth ‘The way his soul shall go.” Tonight we stand on the threshold of the open door, reviewing the pleasant days which have passed, and also looking into the future. As we peer ahead, we see, stretching out before us, innumerable ways, some scaling the peaks, others lying deep in the valley, and still others winding in a maze over the plains. “To choose one of these paths is our privilege and duty. By our choice we shall disclose to the world whether ours be high souls or low souls. The years which we have spent in high school have been a preparation for making this choice. Our teachers have taught us to differentiate between the high and the low. Under their guidance we have acquired wisdom to choose and perseverance to follow the right way. “Tomorrow the door of this life will be closed, and we shall set forth into the future. Tonight we bid farewell to our teachers. No longer shall we have their counsel, but we shall have the memory of their teachings and our own deter- niination to strive always for the highest. To you, classmates, the final word of farewell must be addressed. Our minds tonight are under the spell of two great forces, memory and hope—memory of the happy, profitable days which we have spent together in school, hope of the opening future which holds our failures and successes. In our own hands lie our lives to make or mar. I know that we shall attain great success if we strive to master ourselves and our environment, and if we are guided always by our motto “Strive for the Highest.’ { 33 ] Salutatory By Gerorce §. DEPRIzI0 ‘To you who are assembled here this evening to witness the finale of our high school life, the Class of 1931 extends a most sincere welcome. The occasion brings to mind a particularly appropriate quotation, with which we have become acquainted during our study of English literature: “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: ‘They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts.” As we grasp the thought of this judicious passage, we are inspired with a realization of life never before visualized. It seems but yesterday when the curtain rose on our high school career, and we, in the role of students, entered upon this act of our life. But time has sped quickly, and though it hardly seems possible, our com- mencement tonight marks the climax of this act. Now, we are ready to make our exit into the world. On a far broader stage than that upon which we have acted during the past four years, we must take our places and assume the parts that we are qualified to play in the succeeding acts of life. It is, indeed, a joy for us, tonight, to acquire our coveted diplomas. Yet there is « feeling of regret that this most important act in the drama of life is already con- cluded. During the time that we have been together, we have formed steadfast triendships,—friendships that have been a genuine aid in times of discouragement. We have shared equal responsibilities and privileges. We recall the many pleasant hours that we have devoted to planning our dramatics and various socials. “Those who have been interested in journalism have found it a pleasure to serve on the staffs of the school publication and the class year book. We have also participated in athletics: some have taken actual part in the games, while others have cooperated by supporting the teams in victory or defeat. “Tonight, however, we leave behind our studies and school activities. Only in reminiscence can we live again the happy hours of this joyful act. Now, as the curtain falls on our high school life, we retrospect for a moment and sincerely hope that it has been well acted. We fully recognize how essential has been our education in preparing us to assume with confidence our roles in life. To say that we are fully grown men and women would be a gross exaggeration. Still, henceforth, we begin to assume the responsibilities of mature citizens. And as we prepare to play our parts in the drama of life, we realize that our success will depend in great part upon the instructions received during these four appreciative years. So also, it will depend upon the numerous sacrifices by which our unselfish parents have made this education possible. Although we are fully cognizant of the inadequacy of any words of ours to give due thanks to those who have prepared us to assume our re- sponsibilities, yet to them we would express our most sincere gratitude, So it is, that to our friends who by their interest have encouraged us, to our schoolmates who have shared our tasks and enjoyments, to our teachers who have been most painstaking and untiring in their efforts, to our parents who have sacrificed ia our behalf, we offer a most joyous greeting to these our graduation exercises.

Coach Kelly has had to mold out nearly a whole new team. The ball field is still in poor condition and imposes many handicaps to the team’s playing good baseball and enjoying the game; but, in the face of these difficul- ties, the boys continue to practice faithfully in an attempt to win the Norfolk Inter- scholastic League pennant. As this magazine goes to press, Mansfield has won five games and lost five. The following is a list of the games played to date: Mansfield 12 Alumni 11 9 Attleboro g Attleboro 5 4 St. Mary’s (Taunton) 13 1 Dedham 4 4 St. Mary’s (Taunton) 6 3 Dedham 4 3 Canton 10 19 Foxboro oT 6 Franklin 8 Football 1930 The football team has met with great success this season, under the trained and watchful eye of Coach James Kelly, former Boston College athlete. Of eleven games the high school won nine and lost two. The Mansfield boys christened their new uniforms by taking Rock- land into camp by the score of 48-6. Canton and North Attleboro were the only teams to defeat Mansfield. “The game with Foxboro, Mansfield’s ancient rival, resulted in a Fox- boro defeat, Mansfield scoring 49 to 0. This is the sixth consecutive victory over Foxboro. The Mansfield team was very aggressive, scoring during the season 345 points against 33 for its opponents, 86 being scored against North Easton on Thanksgiving Day.

As a whole, the season was very suc- cessful: of a total of seventeen games the boys won twelve. This year the Hockamock champions accepted an invitation to the South Shore Tournament in the Brockton Armory. Our team participated in the tournament in 1929 and won the class B title. ‘This year the team entered Class-A. ‘The first game was with North Easton. The Mansfield quintet had little trouble in winning. lor the second game, our team drew Middleboro and again had an easy victory. In the finals Mansfield played the Abington five and was defeated by the close score of 28-25. The letter-men of this season are Manager Thayer, Captain Bellavance, Cap- tain-elect Buck, DeLutis, Stearns, Rossi, Cooney, Strang, Certuse, and DiGiovanni. ‘The records are: Mansfield 33 aN hes val n ceyray ate Casik ek theta geety eee. aie, rene 8 IAA De ao) ue aga Re Meet Create ee) ee en re 35 De OUSILCOL ean emetete kta cinta mUeon ces ante ccnscainacodeaiane 57 eae GLU ieee seme certs tench trees «eater: ( 26 Bridgewater 20 Rockland 21 Attleboro 23 PVC CLWN SR OU CO, omer eras Sratsthcen ik a 20 16 PS TUL Ge W LAGE tee uat a caiaces Tata oat oko dt enaceae 28 aby PU DOR Ope east Mires tare eae an a AEE cue ttates Il 29 ate.

Almost all of the sophomores, about twenty juniors, and ten seniors reported. Coach Delano explained the rules and the girls played several practice games. Miss Delano intends to have the teams play next year in interscholastic meets. BASKETBALL ‘The basketball team was not very successful this year, owing to the fact that the coach had to work with so much new material. She devoted most of the basket- ball season to the building up of the team. In the second game with Bridgewater, Mansfield was leading 24-10, with 114 riunutes to play, when the game was called, Bridgewater forfeiting the game 2-0. ‘The games played are as follows: Mansfield 22 North Easton 29 Randolph 12 Bridgewater LI Stoughton 18 Foxboro HPO ee Nana eee Rene eee eee ene ereeneneaneeeeeneaeen seen eneeeeteseeeenerEOEEee Eee nee eenteeesen eens 19 North Easton 2 Bridgewater Q Fox DO FO ses ccceonaitichuinecena asec boner ee ae 40 Randolph? gaan todee itech 2 Stoughton. icnsuudaeuinmnn a ee ‘These girls received letters: Capt.
