Gass This tory We were Sophomores, young and green, Too much heard and never seen. The above was not always true for on the first day of school way back in 1941 we were seen surging up the front steps at the ringing of the first bell. Meeting us at the front door Mr. Craig firmly informed us that Sophomores used the side entrances! ! Soon after the opening of school, with the help of our advisor Miss Henchel, we elected as our Class Officers: Russell Williamson—President, John Antosca—Vice- president, Mary Finn—Secretary, and Janelle Swett—Treasurer. We entered heartily into all school activities and sports, being represented in football by Frank Flammia and William Palanza. On December 7, 1941 came Pearl Harbor and War. The next morning we came to school with rather ha'f excited, half bewildered expressions on our faces, for even then we realized that ours would not be the common, happy-go-lucky three years in High School. Our Sophomore year sped by and soon June was upon us. With the excite- ment of Graduation and the Reception our first year at M. H. S. came to an end. Juniors go and Juniors come, Of the many we were some. In September 1942 we returned to school with a sure step and a laughing eye for now we were the “‘Jolly Juniors.” At an early Class Meeting we elected as our officers: Eleo Zafiini—president, William Nordberg—vice-president, Barbara Dustin— Secretary, and Janelle Swett—Treasurer. Mrs. Whitmore and Mr. Robinson were our advisors this year. We were well represented in all school sports including football where Frank Flammia, John Antosca, and William Palanza distinguished themselves by winning the varsity “M.’’. In November we chose our class rings which, much to our joy, arrived the day before Christmas vacation. Early in April we began making preparations for the reception to be given to the Seniors in June. Because of the new fire laws we were unable to extensively decorate the Town Hall, as in former years. However with the able help of Mr. Robinson and Mr. Certuse we created a festive atmosphere. “The reception to our departing friends was a great success in spite of the man-shortage, lack of gas, and all the other curtailments created by the war. This successful affair ended our Junior year. Starting out in forty-three We Made Senior History. We returned as Seniors with the determination to make this year, our last at Mansfield High, one we would never forget. Our principal, Mr. Craig, had left us to accept a commission in the Navy and Mr. Hadlock, affectionately called “Pop”, had retired. Mr. Raymond S. Locke of Vermont became our new principal.
