Members of the team included Captain Cathleene Cullen, Charlotte Patriquin, Barbara Devine, Dorothy Barrows, Ruth Fallon, and Mary Horton. This year there was a notable increase in our membership on the staff of The Tatler. (Gordon Fuller became editor-in-chief, while James Ienello, Richard Horton, and Nancy Tuell filled other important positions. ‘Famous People,’’ a special column, conducted by Dorothy Plausse, attracted a large following. Meanwhile, the actors in our class diligently rehearsed with Mrs. Morse for the play “Life Begins at Sixteen.” This is a comedy dealing with the trials and tribulations of a high school boy and his friends. The play, which, contrary to tradition, was presented not on Thanksgiving Day but on the Friday following, proved to be very successful. Excellent performances were given by all members of the cast, which consisted of James Ienello, Nancy Tuell, Mary Munro, Richard Horton, Barbara Dean, Barbara Devine, Ralph Cutillo, Standish Allen, Cathleene Cullen, John Kaye, Dorothy Barrows, Peter Di Giampietro, Dorothy Dill, Miriam Milson, and Helen McKay. In March Dorothy Dill was chosen as the Good Citizenship Pilgrim to the conference of The Daughters of the American Revolution, in Boston. In various meetings held during the latter part of the year, we made important decisions concerning our commencement activities. We decided to have a yearbook and to wear caps and gowns at graduation. We authorized Richard Horton to draw up the will, Gordon Fuller to prophesy the future, and Paul Lane to present the history of the class. Cathleene Cullen was appointed editor-in-chief of the yearbook, which we named The Defender. In May it was announced that Vivian Chafhn had written the words for our class song. We selected as our motto “On to Victory!” For our class flower we chose the gardenia; and for our colors, Dartmouth green and white. Once again tradition was broken when the Pro Merito Society was succeeded by the honor roll, comprised of students ranking in the first quarter of the senior class. From this group Barbara Dean and Joseph Teixeira were chosen to present essays at the graduation exercises. Our last few weeks in high school were hectic ones, but we set aside two days for relaxation-—Bow Day and Tramp Day. Before we realized it, graduation was at hand and the activities of commencement week were announced as follows: Baccalaureate Service, June 14; Class Day, June 15; Graduation, June 16; Senior Reception, June 18. Almost incredible changes have occurred since that day in September, 1939, when we entered Mansfield High School. Our country is now at war, the world is in the midst of a great upheaval, and our way of life is endangered. As we look into the uncertain future, we realize the magnitude of the task ahead, but with undaunted faith in our cause, we shall strive to uphold the ideals that all of us so deeply cherish.
