Mr. Wright, instructor, has given them behind the wheel driving, as well as, showing them films on safety. As the years progress, programs such as this- will be set up in every state across the union, thus lessening the danger of possible accidents. Combined Glee Club Miss J. Flanders, Director; J.

Once inside we were herded into the gym, and we listened to hundreds of directions given by our principal, Dr. Larson. With the guidance of our class advisors, Miss Welch, Miss Shepard, and Miss Hannon, we elected our first class officers as follows: Pete Nyberg, President; Kathleen McKay, Vice Pres- ident; Elaine Coyle, Secretary; Sally Palanza, Treasurer. Not being supermen we too asked the perennial questions of ““Where’s Room 6?” and “Where's the office?,’ but our noses led us to the lab. Our contributions to M.HLS. athletics our freshman year were: Hugo Bolin, William Reynolds, Donald Partington, Bob Goyea, Carmine Mondillo, Anthony Fasulo, Charles King, Robert Cipriani, Hugh Perry, James Antosca, Richard Miller, and Lou Brug- liera. The girls who participated in sports were: Vivian Laprise, Edith Holt, Lois Pasquarillo, Pat Kelleher, Sandra Sabin, and Sandra Ballou. Our one and only social event of the year was a dance held in May 1953. The hard work of our class made “Farewell Seniors’ a huge success—but some credit must be given to the many inquisitive upperclassmen who attended. Then in June we attended our first Class Day exercises and were singled out as “Pea Green Freshmen.” But we had our eyes open to the time when we would be the “Grand Old Seniors.” Before we realized that our vacation had started, September had arrived and we returned to the ivory, or should I say wooden, halls of M.H.S. for another trying year. By now we knew that our first job was to elect our officers and the results were as follows: Bill Reynolds, President; Francis Annese, Vice Pres- ident; Margaret Camara, Secretary; Sally Palanza, Treasurer. Added to last years athletes were Ronald Baril, Francis Annese, Wayne Greenlaw, Luigi Giovino, and Francis Baldini. And the girls who added support to the Horn- ettes were Kathy McKay, Nancy Velletri, Marcia Stewart, Sandra Folcik, Vivian Medeiros, Virginia Paine, and Sandra Olney. The girls elected to the cheerleading squad were Sally Palanza, Kathy McKay, Dot Nicholson, Pat Kelleher, Edie Holt, and Pat Slattery. In October we chose our ring committee with Helen Hanlon as chairman. After a great deal of deliberation we voted to have a standard school ring and gave our contract to Balfour’s of Attleboro. Our two social events of the year were held in December and May, with the latter being a Sadie Hawkins Dance. They were both a success, financially and socially. As time passed swiftly, we again found ourselves attending Class Day exercises—soon to become “Jolly Juniors.” The following September we returned once again to pursue our education, but this year we were very fortunate to enter the new modern Mansfield High School. Again we were lost in the maze of corridors and rooms. Now, not only the freshmen but everyone was asking the questions ““Where’s Room 230?” or “Where's the gym?” As soon as everyone settled down to business we elected our class officers. The results were: Bill Reynolds, President; Francis Annese, Vice President; Margaret Camara, Secretary; and Sally Palanza, Treas- urer. Additional support to the Green Hornettes was Jean Jeanguenin. Our two dances of the year were held in November and December in the new high school gym. But our most important event of the year, the Senior Reception, was yet to come. Just before Christmas we were glorified by the arrival of our class rings which we displayed proudly to the rest of the student body. As spring arrived we elected Margaret Camara delegate to Girls’ State with Edie Holt as alternate. The honorary members of the New Century Club were Marcia Stewart and Kathleen McKay. About this time the class, by a large majority, voted Loring Studio as our class photographer. As June drew near we began to make plans for our Senior Reception. Kathy McKay, Virginia Paine, and Theodore Freeman were chosen as general chairmen. This was the first reception ever held in the new gym and the decorations were described as marvelous. Why not with such talented artists as James Musto and Bob Cipriani in charge! Once more we attended Class Day exercises and watched the Seniors depart into the “Wide, Wide, World.” After three long years we returned to school the following September as Grand Old Seniors with our goal—graduation—in full view. Under the faithful guidance of our class advisors, Miss Welch, Miss Shepard, and our new advisor Mr. Pierce, we elected our class officers for the last time. The results were: Bill Reynolds, President; Hugo Bolin, Vice President; Edith Holt, Secre- tary; and Sally Palanza, Treasurer. We held our four dances in October, De- cember, April, and May—all of which were very successful. In order for us to get our pictures by Christmas we all found our way into Loring Studios in Boston very early in the fall and just before Christmas “they” arrived and we exhibited them to the interested underclassmen. Under the direction of Mr. DeCourcy we put on the traditional class play— this year ‘Three Misses and a Myth.” Included in the cast were: “Suzie,” Sandra Folcik; “Mrs. Livingston,” Rita Sarro; “Mr. Livingston,” Pete Ales- sandri; “Anne,” Pat Slattery; “Cotton,” Sally Palanza; “Audrey,” Carol Zein- inger; ‘Dr. Beale,” Joan Glogowski; “Mrs. Rockford,” Pat Kelleher; “Mr. Rockford,” Richard Alessandri; “Barry,” James Musto; “Miss Maude,” Vivian Medeiros; “Boyle,” Anthony Fasulo. What Talent!! What a production!! Playing through February ninth and tenth the play was a huge success. One of the most important works of the Senior Class is its yearbook. Under the direction of Mr. Payden, Co-Editors Marcia Stewart and Richard Alessandri, business managers Nancy Velletri and Sandra Ballou, and with the superb help of the staff the 1956 yearbook topped and stopped all previous yearbooks. Toward the end of January, Our Principal, Mr. Mushroe, made the announce- ment of honors. Essayists were: Sandra Ballou, Kathleen McKay, Marcia Stewart, and Nancy Velletri; Class History, Richard Alessandri; Class Will, Virginia Paine and Theodore Freeman; Class Prophecy, Jean Jeanquenin and Jane Hartwell. During the course of the year other awards were announced. Sandra Sabin was chosen as our Good Citizen, an award sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Charles King was our Good Govern- ment Representative. Hugo Bolin, Robert Cipriani, Ted Freeman, and James Musto were chosen as Junior Rotarians. Our class Flower is the Pink Tea Rose, class colors are turquoise and white, and our class motto is ‘“We shall find a way or we shall make one.” The traditional Student Government Day was held on April 25. The town officials suffered many headaches as the Seniors took over the town and ran it right for one day. Commencement exercises are being held on the following dates: Bac- calaureate Sunday, June 10th, at the Baptist Church and at St. Mary’s Church; Class Day, June 11th, Graduation Exercises, June 12th, and the Senior Recep- tion, June 14th. We have now reached another turning point in our lives. I have tried to compile correctly the statistics of the last four years for the class of 1956. With a mixture of joy and sadness we leave wonderful memories behind us and depart into the “Wide, Wide, World.” co e a eee | Eee SER ea cn rg gsceas i. Ee ie fe Class Will by Virginia Paine and Ted Freeman We, the class of 1956, being of questionably sound mind, are desirous of settling our personal affairs before taking our leave of this pleasant citadel of learning. First and foremost, we bequeath to Mr. Anderson, a large bottle of ‘‘Geritol” so that he will have energy enough to push the “no-school’” button on stormy, mornings. To Mr. Mushroe, we leave a pair of well oiled roller skates so that he will be able to catch the lunch time speed demons on their way to the cafeteria. To the faculty we leave our places in the parking lot with the hope that they will have enough room and not have to use helicopters. To the Juniors, we leave the two minute lunch bell and also rooms 232 and 233 which are the farthest from the cafeteria. To the Sophomores, we leave many of our left over reception decorations with the hope that they wil! be of some use next year. To the Freshmen, we leave the sincerest wish that their class rings will be original. And now for the disposition of the personal property of the various members of our class. “W ild” Bill Holske leaves his “line’’ to Roy Bolin. He always had a talent for roping ’em in. Kathy McKay leaves to put her home making talents to good use. Inta Liepins leaves her talents for attracting the opposite sex to any little girl who is too bashful to use her own. Inta’s have always been successful. Donna Cody would leave Carmine to the underclass girls except for one reason—he graduates too.

Vivian Laprise leaves Mansfield High forever—or should I say for Edward. Carol “Why” Zeininger leaves her dramatic ability to the cast of next year’s class play. Sandra Ballou leaves to join the “Mounties” because they always get their man. Marcia Stewart leaves her job as yearbook editor to anyone smart enough to get it and foolish enough to take it. Edie Holt leaves Doug to wander about alone in the corridor after lunch. Ann Sheehan leaves her wad of bubble gum to Mary Joan Palanza who can add it to her collection. George “The Smokestack” Antosca leaves his collection of cigarettes to Eddy “‘I roll my own” Sheehy. Pete ‘‘Peg-pants’’ Alessandri leaves his flashy clothes to Ralph DiChiara., Fran Baldini leaves his hair set and curlers to Lee Parham who should make good use of them. Bill Reynolds leaves his high scoring basketball record to be broken by Johnny Pomfret. Pat Slattery leaves her lady-like manners to Honey Tessier. Thomas Wilson leaves his collection of bees to Miss Jones for the Biology Lab. “Sweets to the sweet.” Carmine Mondillo leaves his five year subscription to ““Esquire’” to Bernard Devine. Sandy Olney leaves her ever-changing hairdoes to Pat Winton. Jean Jeanguenin leaves her smile and friendliness to Pauline Delfino. Connie King leaves the back seat on her brother's motor scooter to anyone worthy of this position. Joan Glogowski wills her knowledge of Shakespeare to any member of next year’s English class who wants to become one of his followers. Helen Hanlon leaves for a swim in the sea of matrimony. Here’s hoping she doesn’t drown. Charlie King wills his side burns to Paul “I prefer a beard” Shultz. Junior Bolin leaves his physique to any undernourished little freshman. Tony Fasulo leaves his “Ideas on Democracy” to some junior who wants an “Ain P.O) Dy iiext year Sandy Sabin leaves her pony tail to Betty Wrona, who always likes to “horse around.” Betty “Chatter-box’” Cooper bequeaths her loquacious manner to Cathy O'Brien. Tony Denisi leaves on tiptoe hoping he won’t be heard and stopped as he finally gets his freedom. Ida Copporini leaves her famous perfume “Sweet Essence of Spring’ to all the desperate junior girls. “Our little’ Margie Camara leaves to join Pete “I’ve got my head in the clouds” Richardson. Helen Boynton leaves to become chief candelabra polisher on Liberace’s program. Fran Annese leaves that wolfish gleam in his eye to Johnny “Lover” Lish- man. Jane Hartwell leaves her ticket to Wellfleet to anyone who likes sand dunes as well as she does. Rachel Young leaves her mardrobe of- long, full skirts to Virginia Davis who should enjoy a new style. Sandy “Gabby” Folcik leaves the faculty a book, “How to Play Russian Roulette in Ten Easy Lessons.” Marilen Prescott wills her height to Miss Arnold to be distributed among next year’s basketball team. Luigi Giovino leaves his strange affection for the library to Karl Clemmey. Betty Hansen leaves the thought, “Silence is Golden” to Diane Calesa. Pat Griswold leaves her photogenic features to some poor, little junior who will need them next year. Bobby Mei leaves his elevated shoes to Doug Mayall. Shirley Wellman leaves her experiments in hair coloring to Nancy Pitman. Ernie Roma leaves his shovel to the story tellers of the “young and innocent” freshman class. Nancy Velletri leaves her Monday night bowling scores to any underclass- man with lots of good luck. Rita Sarro leaves her talent for throwing successful pajama parties to anyone who doesn’t require much sleep. Jim “Lover-boy’” Musto leaves his romantic inclinations to Donnie “Casa- nova” Baptiste with the knowledge that they will not be wasted. Harold Godfrey leaves his marvelous table manners to the junior boys. (Apologies to Emily Post). Dot Nicholson leaves her natural blond hair, good looks and figure to Gennevive “Babe” Goddard. Ronnie Baril leaves to Donald Spence the book called ‘‘The Battle of the Bulge.” Bob Cipriani leaves his comb, a bit toothless by this time, to Eddie Carl. And now, before our classmates have a chance to dispute this legal document, we will take our leave of this beloved institute—forever. W itnesses: Flat Top Davy Crocket Rey Tez Dungaree Doll Maybelline Class Prophecy by Jane Hartwell and Jean Jeanguenin Ten years after graduation from M.HLS. we find ourselves amid the spark- ling glitter of the great white way, just in time for the premiere of the newest broadway comedy. In our business as theatrical critics for the New York Times, it is essential that we attend the opening night. The hub-bub of New York City traffic prompts us to call a taxi. The tele- phone ring at the Velletri Taxi Agency is answered by Rachel Young, partner in the firm. She tells us that a taxi is on its way. We grab our coats and make our way towards the elevator. As the door slides open, we see Arthur Razee, dressed in the snappy uniform of an elevator operator. His presence explains the delay. We remember that Arthur never made an appearance in school before 9 A.M. Also a passenger in Razee’s elevator is Tom Wilson. Tom 1s the silent partner in the Quiet Write Typewriter Company. As we step into the lobby of the fabulous El Giovino Hotel, one in the string of hotels owned by multi-millionaire Luigi Giovino, we meet Ann Sheehan and Shirley Well- man. The girls tell us that they are now holding positions at Mansfield High School Library. They are in town to purchase cultural books to be read by M.H‘S. students. A petite dark eyed girl at the hotel switchboard catches our eye. It's Margie Camara. We go over for a few minutes, and Margie tells us that Vivian Laprise is now married and the mother of the famous Jones boy. She also calls our attention to the fact that Ron Baril is the hotel desk clerk. He is known as the cheeriest desk clerk this side of Timbuctoo! Turning from the desk we bump into Fran Baldini. Fran tells us that he now holds the position of chief cook and bottle washer at La Grande Maison in Paris, another in the string of hotels owned by Giovino. We see someone hurrying toward us. It’s George Antosca, head bell boy at the hotel. He hasn’t come to bounce us out; he just tells us that our taxi is waiting. We bid farewell to Fran and are on our way. Our taxi driver proves to be Nancy Velletri. A certificate on the window tells us that she is “Women’s National Champion Speed Driver.” The usual 15 minute ride to the theater is made in 8 minutes and 3 seconds due to Nan’s heavy gas pedal foot. When we open our eyes we have arrived at our destina- tion—in one piece. The brilliant lights against the sky spell out Partington’s Palladium on the marquee. The door of the taxi is opened by Big Bull Holski. His glowing sun tan hints that he has just returned from another trip to sunny Florida. The clever and unusual bill boards intimate the artistic genius of James Musto. Jim is known by all New York businessmen for his sure-fire advertising. We make our way into the plush interior of the elaborate theater which is a perfect background for the cream of New York society. There is Don Partington, the owner, talking with world renowned dress designer Sandra Olney. Over by the door we see a cluster of familiar faces. The center of attrac- tion is Boston’s most gracious and popular hostess, Sally Palanza. Chatting with Sally are Mr. and Mrs. Carmine Mondillo. Mrs. Mondillo is the former Donna Lou Cody. Also a part of this gay group is Dot Nicholson. Dot has gained fame as the unique dance director of the Radio City Rockettes. Another of the old gang here is Pat Griswold, who has achieved success in the modeling field. Making an impressive entrance now are New York’s most eligible bache- lors, Paul Thibault and “‘Cisco”” Annese. On the arms of these two handsome fellows are beautiful and striking models. Following closely behind are Helen Hanlon and Ida Copparini. These two girls head the secretarial staff of “Junior” Bolin, famous football star. ‘Junior,’ former All American, is now the idol of every high school student, girls and boys alike. All of a sudden a lull comes over the lobby. We look around to see Senator Peter Alessandri, dressed in one of the increasingly popular plaid suits. He has taken time out from his busy schedule, as chairman of the committee on “Should America Annex Mars?’, to attend this opening night. One of the staunch supporters of this idea is Joan Glogowski, the new editor of the Boston Globe. Her editorials are stirring up much debate on this matter. As the time draws near for the curtain to go up, we decide to get to our seats. As we walk down the aisle, we see Chief Anthony Fasulo of the New York City Police Department sitting with Charles King, head truant officer for the city. Seems as though Chuck always had a flair for that sort of thing. Reaching our seats we trip over Dick Alessandri, biggest financial backer of this production. Dick made his money by using his mathematical wizardry on his income tax forms. Seated beside Dick is Bob Cipriani, nervously biting his fingernails. Why is he biting his nails? If tonight's performance, starring the extraordinary team of Sandra Folcik and Carol Zeininger, is a flop Bob plans to go out and end it all. You see “Cip” is the author of tonight’s play, “Three Myths and a Miss.” Carol and Sandra decided to start on the road to fame together after their successful appearances in their Senior Class Play. Among the musicians playing in the orchestra here tonight are Sandra Ballou, Connie King, Judy Walker, and Ted Freeman. These were the more talented members of our class. Consulting the program we see mention of Anthony Denisi, stage manager assisted by Harold Godfrey and Ernest Roma. Suddenly the curtains part and before long we are deeply engrossed in the clever plot of the play. All too soon the first act is over and the crowd begins to move toward the lobby. We decide to stroll out ourselves. Maybe we'll meet some more of our old friends. Say, what's all the commotion over there? Someone fainted! Pushing our way through, we discover the victim is Helen Boynton, owner of a flourishing dude ranch in the mountains. She seems to be in good hands however. Clustered around her are some of the leading women in the field of medicine. Pat Kelleher and Viv Medieros, nurses at the famed Mayo Clinic, are in attendance. Inta Liepins, noted psychiatrist and her secre- tary Edie Holt rush up. Seems as though they’re in town for a convention of some sort. Now that we know Helen’s all right we better move on. What's this? Autograph seekers! Who are they after? Why it’s Lois Pasquerillo the famous comedienne. Her managers, Barbara Patten and Marilen Prescott, have just signed Lois to fill out the retiring Milton Berle’s 30 year contract with N.B.C. The dimmed house lights send us on our way back to our seats. Just before we return, however, a murmur goes through the crowd, the cause being the entrance of the Countess of Tahati, Ginny Paine. As we once more make our way down the aisle, we see the well to do steel tycoon, Bill Reynolds, waving at us. With him is Pat Slattery, famous concert pianist. In our conversation with Pat we discover that four of Mansfield’s most respected citizens have journeyed to New York just for this occasion. They are Sandra Sabin, successor to Mrs. Whitmore at M.H.S., Betty Hansen who has taken over many of Sandy’s duties as an assistant, Rita Sarro principal of the new Anderson Elementary School and her secretary, Betty Cooper. Also down from Mansfield is Marcia Stewart in town for other business, namely the National Dentistry Association Convention. Settling back in our seats to enjoy the rest of the play, we are convinced that “Cip” will not have to resort to shooting himself, because the plot of his play, coupled with the acting ability of the stars, is a sure success. As the curtain drops and the theater begins to empty, all we can hear up and down the aisles are favorable comments. On our way out we meet Kathy McKay at the door. Her late arrival is due to the fact that she had to tuck her 5 sons into bed. Kathy, you know, ts raising and coaching her own basketball quintet. Out side the theater we hail a cab, surprisingly enough driven by another of our classmates, Bob Mei. We give him directions to take us to our hotel where a party is being given for all the grads of 56. Here we are at the hotel, and here we bid you farewell to go and join in the festivities and catch up on all the gossip we may have missed. Class Play Sitting, left to right: D.

Just before dashing out of M.H.S. doors for our Christmas vacation, was heard the cry of “TRY-OUTS TONIGHT AT 2:30.” Soon little tan books were seen in the hands of the “chosen twelve’ and much of the time cut from study halls was spent rehearsing scenes. Opening night came, accompanied by the expected jitters, cringes and butterflies. But none of the cast can forget the hysteria caused just before curtain call by the disappearance of a ‘‘snake.”’ As the play progressed the audience found itself laughing at the crazy antics of “Suzie’ and her friends, ‘Cotton’ and “Audrey.” But that fellow, ‘“Merglethorpe,” really kept life in one grand merry-go-round. To the joy of our anxious and hard-working director, Mr. DeCourcy, our play was a huge theatrical success and to the class, a financial boon. or Football J. Pomfret, J. Todesco, H. Baptiste, R.

Mansfield was the music center of Southeastern New England on May 14, 1955 serving as host to over forty bands. The city was overwhelmed by the participants from various high schools in New England. The Foxboro-Mansfield High School combined bands the students at a band recital on February 29, 1956 to the approval of all. The memories of our band at our football games will remain with us for many years.
