The school was started in the upper room of the Number Four Schoolhouse with sixty pupils in January, 1872, during the long winter vaca- tion of the other schools. Rev. A. F. Frost was princi- pal. In 1873 the school moved to the First Parish Church, which then stood on Union Street, just below the cemetery. Mr. John Berry, a young man, who had a few years before conducted a private school in town, was hired to succeed Mr. Frost, who had resigned. Until 1877 the school was ungraded: pupils of all ages came and stayed as long they pleased. As a matter of form, entrance examinations were required. The story is told that on one occasion Mr. Crowley, then one of the school board, was so sympathetic for those who did not pass that he told them that they, too, might enter with the exception of the overgrown pupil, who, in reality, belonged in one of the lower grades. Many are the anecdotes told of Mr. Berry’s regime. The pond behind the church offered a handy duck- ing-pool. On one occasion two boys had a disagree- ment, resulting in the immersion of one. Unfortu- nately for the boys, Mr. Berry soon discovered this and both felt the sting of his rod — one for ducking and the other for being ducked. The anteroom was the judgment hall, where, on other occasions, culprits waited in suspense, never knowing whether to expect a slap, a punch, or a severe shaking. A variation was to send offenders up the rough road to Mr. Crowley's house, in the west part of the town, to confess their crimes. The journey was the hardest part of the pun- ishment, for Mr. Crowley was a lenient disciplinarian. This was years before the advent of the cigarette, the boys smoked genuine pipes after lunch, which was eaten in the classroom. The resulting disagreeable odor caused Mr. Berry to forbid the practice on that floor. Subsequently the boys evolved the idea of descending to the cellar and blowing the smoke up through the cracks. At the end of four years Mr. Berry, at his request. was transferred to the grammar school. He was suc- ceeded by Mr. Frank M. Copeland. who immediately introduced a system of grades with the incentive of graduation. In 1878 the first class, consisting of eight girls. received their diplomas, the exercises taking place in Lovell’s Hall, now used by the Odd Fellows. Although it was the twenty-eighth of June. and hot. the girls all wore woolen dresses of black, somber blue, or other dark, practical colors. The room was without ventillation so the windows were opened. 1929-1978 COMPOSED BY: Mr. William J. Breen, °78 Mr. Francis M. Luby, ’81 Consequently the sound of the timid voices was car- ried through the windows, and proud parents and friends were unable to hear a word. The program was furnished not only by the graduates, but by brilliant members of other classes. Although they doubtless deserved their diplomas, tests and examinations were not required, neither was perfect attendance. In fact, one girl who lived some distance from school, was unable to withstand the rigor of winter storms and consequent bad travelling, so she took an annual vacation from Thanksgiving to spring, except in her last year when it was mildly sug- gested that she board in town so that she could attend full time. Boys stayed out for long periods during the spring planting. The following year the somber garb of the gradu- ates was replaced by white organdy. The boys, too, were dressed in the height of fashion with new linen dusters to wear on the way to the hall, and white kid gloves for the platform. Mr. Herbert King, the valedictorian of the class, who was more accustomed to wearing mittens than gloves, pulled so vigorously that one thumb broke through, necessitating his hiding his thumb in his doubled-up fist during his oration. His graduating outfit had cost his father two dollars and a quarter. Mr. Copeland was a strict disciplinarian. Before his advent a favorite practice of a certain group of boys was to throw stones at the windows of the unused part of the church to see how many panes of glass one stone would break. Shortly after his arrival he com- pletely abolished the habit by making the boys pay for the glass. During the reign of his successor there was a period of self-discipline. Even Charles Hagerty, who was the star of the class, did things of which he was ashamed. The tongue of the bell disappeared mysteriously and in lieu of a bell the principal used a stick of wood on the side of the door to call the school together. There was really no need of summoning them even in this way. for they came only when there was no more alluring diversion. One of the popular forms of recreation in this period was dancing the quadrille in the tiny anteroom at recess and noontime. A whistling boy or a skilled player of the Jew’s harp furnished the music. For outside amusement twenty of the young men formed a Young Men’s Improvement Society. We wonder now if they lived up to their ambitious name. They hired the vestry of the Swedenborgen Church as a clubroom. Their meeting usually took the form of dances, with a “classy” orchestra: an old organ brought down from the church auditorium, a violin, and a cornet. On special occasions it was not unusual for the affair to last until 5 A.M. Chaperones were unknown, and it would have been deemed an insult had anyone suggested the need of an older person’s attendance. The class of 1882 was composed of only two mem- bers, both young men, who allege they always tended strictly to business. Undaunted by scarcity of num- bers, they planned to carry on the regular graduation exercises, confident of the quality of the class, if not the quantity. But, alas, they were doomed to disap- pointment, for the school committee allowed the principal to accept a better position, and leave three weeks before the end of the term; so school ended without a graduation, and the diplomas were just handed out. That year they had five different princi- pals. In 1883, examinations rules were more rigorous than in Mr. Crowley’s time, and out of thirty-five candidates only ten were admitted. The graduation exercises were held in March, a custom which was continued for several years. The spring term opened in the newly finished Town Hall. Since students owned their own text- books, moving day was simple. The night before the change the pupils took their books home with them, and the next day brought them to the new school. In 1884, the town began furnishing the books to comply with a new State law. At this time the school year con- sisted of thirty-four weeks. The class of 1885 graduated with one lonesome boy among eight girls. One of °87’s well-known members, Mr. Ernest White, with two classmates, had an unhappy experi- ence with an elderly deacon residing on Union Street. The deacon was strict in his ideas and had little inter- est in school athletics. During football practice in the yard behind the Town hall and cemetery, the boys kicked the ball into the deacon’s chicken yard, and while engaged in recovering it, accidently broke the fence. Before they could reach the school, they saw the owne r of the broken fence heading for the same place. Youthful legs, prompted by guilty consciences, enabled the owners to reach the schoolroom first, where they scattered to separate hiding places. The boys were nowhere to be found when the principal tried to satisfy the irate deacon. White concealed himself behind the organ; where he remained all morning, until the air became so stifling that he feared suffocation, and slunk out to be met by Mr. Tower’s inquiry, “Where have you been?” Ernest meekly replied, “Hiding from the deacon.” Forthwith the other boys were discovered and given the alterna- tive of apology or a week’s suspension. They chose the later. Returning a week later, they discovered that the apology was still expected, and were sent to the owner of the chicken yard. He accepted their acknowledgements of error with the requirement that they tip their hats when they met him on the street. The year 1888 saw the addition of an assistant to help the boys and girls; the girls gave the boys a run for their money. Scholarship, however, in the class of 89 and preceding classes, received no rewards of cov- eted places on the graduation program. These honors were allotted by the class. The class of 1890 was the last to choo se the valedic- torian by vote. They were the first to have an ode. A unique number on the graduation program was an exibition in calisthenics by some of the boys. Several of the class enjoyed a sleigh ride two days following graduation. From 1889 to 1893 Mr. Fred C. Hardon, whose musical abilities were well recognized in Mansfield, was principal. He tried to prove in the high school his contention that everyone could sing. His theory, how- ever, proved a failure and his plan was frustrated by the necessity of excusing several boys whose voices were changing. Until 1891 languages had been taught only as a special favor to pupils who needed them for further study. In fact, one of the early principals either from lack of time or inclination, sent those who desired German or French to his home to be instructed by his wife. In 1891 a Latin course was introduced. A new epoch in the history of Mansfield schools began this year when Mr. E. P. Fitts became superin- tendent. Up to this time the entire supervision of the schools had been in the hands of the school commit- tee. Mr. Fitts revived the June graduation. The year 1892 marked the removal of the school from the Town Hall to the Central Building, where it occupied two rooms and a small, poorly equipped laboratory in the attic. The moving was not entirely a joyous occasion, for the pupils felt it a step downward to leave a building exclusively for them to occupy a section of a structure supervised by Mr. Berry and including lower grades. The lawn in front and one the sides of the building was carefully graded; and as long as Mr. Berry remained principal, it was hallowed ground, not to be desecrated by scraps of paper or unruly footsteps. On Arbor Day, at the instigation of William C. Winter, a member of the school board, small maple trees were set out along the edge of the lawn. Each room planted a tree and was expected to be responsi- ble for its care. In October the High School joined with the other schools in commemorating the four hundredth anni- versary of the landing of Columbus. Much time was spent practicing for the songs, marching, and recita- tions. The class of 1893 initiated the idea of class rings. As a result of being the first class to study German, they used that language for their motto. The class of 1895 was still more ambitious, present- ing a short French play at graduation. The class of 1896 seems to have featured the Eng- lish language, as they were the first to start a school publication, the “M.H.S. Mirror,” an entertaining sheet written in longhand on school paper. The most ambitious number was read as part of the graduation exercises. Also, in the senior year of the class, one issue of the Mansfield News was handed over to the high school to compose. They were entirely responsi- ble for the editorials, a short story, and the news items. It was a custom for the Seniors to have a beauti- fully decorated cake, which was cut graduation night and distributed among the members. This class had a beauty. Upon the pure white frosting the class motto Miss Jennie Freeman Copeland stood out in crimson “Non Solis Nobis” (Not for our- selves alone). At the reception a few choice friends were allowed to look on it, but the actual ceremony was behind closed doors. The only incident that we have been able to learn in the history of the class of 1897 is that they hung a May basket for the principal at his home. The wily pedagog ushered the girls into one room and the boys into another. In spite of his precautions the company was soon mixed. Athletics had had their part in the life of the school almost since its beginning. In 1877 the baseball team was playing Plainville and Attleboro. In 1888 they were using as a practice field, Jane’s field, on West Street. But it was in 1898 under the guidance of the principal, Mr. Stone, that football was started. He was a good sport and played with the boys. When he became too disheveled, however, he disliked to be seen by the townspeople; so, at least on one occasion, the boys grouped around him to form a screening body guard as they returned to town. The feminine contingent assisted at the games from the sideline by rattling the opponents. The girls had a milder form of athletics. They were required to buy Indian clubs, which they used in the gymnasium, the unfinished attic, where they were obliged to stand in the middle to avoid hitting the rafters. The next year the boys’ athletic field was transfer- red to Branch Street. 1899 was the last year of the three year course. Consequently there was no graduation in 1900. This year an addition was made to the Central Building which enabled the high school to have an extra room and a larger laboratory. Every class is proud to record its initiative. The annals of the class of 1902 show that they started hav- ing plays in the Town Hall to raise money they pre- sented the school with a bust of Shakespeare, the first class gift: and they introduced the class will. The school authorities caught the spirit of starting things and offered a business course, including shorthand and typewriting. Fifteen pupils elected the course, which made a heavy demand on the single typewriter. Each one had a try at it for fifteen minutes. The Boy Cadets were organized in the spring of 1903 under Major Danforth. His favorite expression, “Hold your head up, your feet will stay on the floor” soon had its effect on the military bearing of the boys. The class of 1903 followed the example of the pre- vious seniors, and put on a class play, which netted three hundred dollars. Part of this sum was spent to purchase a statue of Minerva. Poor Minerva! No goddess was ever so beset with trials. They tested her courage by leaving her alone all night with a mouse tied to her. She suffered the indignity of being clothed in male attire to represent a mere mortal, one of her assistants. Whether in the cause of hygiene, or as a matter of pure deviltry, somebody gave her a bath and spoiled her school girl complexion. She received fractures, and no one knows how or where she ended her days. Minerva was not the only immortal who endured trials at the hands of high school pupils. Fearing that Shakespeare had an earache, they stuffed his ears with tinfoil; they put a cigarette behind his ear, and even in recent years taught him to wear a hat in the school room. And he survived! In 1904 the two sessions were compressed into one, lasting from 8:20 to 1:15. The school year was length- ened from thirty-six to forty-weeks. The Athletic Association, which supported base- ball, was formed about this time. It gradually became inactive, and was revived with a new constitution in he Ie Its support didn’t amount to much, as the boys had to furnish their own suits, which were never complete. They traveled to out-of-town games on trolleys, and changed their clothes in woods or barns. The cadets spent a week each summer from 1904 to 1909 at Oak Bluffs, where they formed a regiment with Taunton, Fall River, and Brockton. In 1904 and 1905 the Boston Herald offered a trophy in baseball, which Mansfield won. The school officially took little part in athletics, for there were none of the faculty at games. “Ringers” were used, and the Mansfield team often took its own umpire in order to be sure to win the game. On one occasion at Walpole, to satisfy the ambition of the team, the umpire was obliged to pronounce a fair ball a foul. The fellow who had made the hit ran to home plate, grabbed the bat, and chased the umpire all over aes ts Fé ‘ as a @IrA Lp Mansfield’s Gooseberry Pie from Mansfield England 1919 Girl Cadets the field. However, the umpire’s decision was law, and Mansfield won the game. The college preparatory group greatly rejoiced in 1905 because the Mansfield High School was granted the certificate privilege. The graduating class of 1905 was the largest up to this time, yet it continued the custom of having every member of the class take part at commencement. Consequently patient relatives remained on the wooden seats in the Town Hall until quarter of twelve. That never happened again. The next year’s class had a selected program. In the fall there was an entire change of teachers. In 1905 the class of 1909 started a paper, the “Bow- Wow Bulletin,” which expired after three years. The class of 1906 was left in the lurch when the music director, angry at the boys’ inattention at the rehearsal on the morning of graduation, walked out. One of the townspeople was called upon to direct the chorus that night. Mansfield initial experience in a speaking contest game in 1906 when Mansfield entered into competi- tion with Franklin, Medfield, Medway, and Woon- socket. The first girls’ cadet drill was in 1908. One of the school committee objected to the girls’ having a drill, and said they had better learn to make doughnuts. To prove that they were able to do both, the girls made about thirty dozen doughnuts, which they had plan- ned to present as souvenirs to the guests. But the Boy Cadets in front of High School school committee, learning of the intended distrib- ution, ordered that they should not be served. The boys cadets, however, ate their fill and pronounced them very good. The next year 1909 saw two improvements: a field in back of the school was added to the school yard, and a new business department was installed on the third floor, with twenty desks, and a long bench for typewriters. The class of 1909 which as freshmen issued the “Bow-Wow Bulletin,” in their senior year published the “Argonaut,” a printed monthly magazine, which was a credit to the school. Later it was published only three times a year. The same year, in order to raise money to support a baseball coach, the school gave a minstrel show which benefited them by the sum of seventy-five dol- lars. A trip to Washington was an innovation intro- duced by the class of 1910. All these years the school had been growing, until in September 1910, the membership was one hundred thirty-four. The same fall a High School orchestra was organ- ized. The 1911 baseball team won the Bristol County Championship. The present school color, green, was adopted about this time. The class of 1912, which was the second class to go to Washington, raised their travel fund by ingenious means; they collected twelve dollars worth of old rub- bers, and also held a Christmas fair. In the spring, the high school joyfully moyed to their new building. A few hours after they had arrived in the midst of general disorder, with books on the floor and unattached seats, they were hustled out of the building because of a rubbish fire in the base- ment. The pleasure of moving into a new building was partly marred for the seniors by the inconven- lence and disappointment of being obliged to hold their graduation in the gymnasium because the Town Hall was under repair. The new gymnasium was an incentive for the form- ing of boys’ and girls’ basketball teams. Even at drill the girls introduced style. This was the period of long, tight, skirts, so in order that they might match, their navy blue skirts were slit and showed colorful petticoats. The first of the so-called “big classes,” the product of the consolidation of the eighth and ninth grades of grammar school, entered the High School with a membership of seventy-six in the fall of 1916. The class fo 1917 was the last to go to Washington. Phonograph money and a lantern for the lecture room were purchased with money received from the sale of Lowney’s chocolates. The World War had its effect on the High School. The only class to send any of its members into the service was 1919, which contributed two to the cause. Economy was the keynote during these years, and graduation dresses were simple. Girls were excused from classes to sell little pins for the Red Cross. In the winter of 1918 school was forced to close for four weeks as a result of the coal shortage. The after- Mansfield High School in 1911 effects of the war influenced the class of 1919 not to have the annual class play. A new room was furnished for Domestic Science. The influence of the new department was felt when, two years later, a lunch counter was established 1n the drill hall. Because of a deficiency in funds, the class of °18 was unable to take a long-planned trip to Washing- ton, and thus started the customary yearly trip to Boston. Enthusiasm ran high when the prize speaking team brought back two shields that same year. One was the result of the Sharon-Stoughton-Mansfield contest, which Mansfield won in °16, °17, and °18; the other was the Singleton contest won in°13,’°15,°17, and 718. Music received a new interest during this period. In 1918 a fife and drum corps was started, and in the ensuing year the orchestra was recognized, and the boys’ and girls’ glee clubs were formed. In 1920, under Mr. Nye, the supervisor of music, the first High School concert was held in the Town Hall featuring the boys’ and girls’ choruses, the boys’ and girls’ glee clubs, the orchestra, and the mixed choruses. It was this year that greater recognition as given to athletics. Gymnasium work was required. The first teacher coach was employed, and he restored foot- ball. Several weeks before graduation an anonymous benefactor offered a prize of twenty-five dollars to the girl who should make the prettiest low priced dress suitable to the occasion. Miss Anne Olliff won the reward with an organdy dress, which cost six dol- lars and seven cents. As a stimulus to scholarship, a branch of the Pro Merit Society was introduced into the High School in Tae In the spring of this year a gymnastics exhibition was substituted for the girls’ drill. To encourage simplicity in dress, a member of the school board influenced the girls to wear their cadet suits at graduation, expecting that succeeding classes would follow suit with middy blouses and plain skirts. But they never did. Mansfield High School had the honor of winning the Bristol County Football Championship that year. The first Junior Class play was presented in 1924 by the class of °25. The regular curriculum was changed in 1925 to include four courses: college, commercial, technical, and general. A change was made in 1926 in the commencement exercises. Instead of having the entire program fur- nished by the graduates, the honor parts had an address by a speaker of prominence were given on Commencement Night. Class Night was instituted for the less serious part of the program. This custom was continued in 1927 and 1928. Mansfield High School started its sixth decade with 218 students in the halls. Superintendent Leroy Woods sought extra space for classrooms. “There is some concern for the accomodation of all the pupils.” The teachers’ rest room was facilitated into a class- room while Supt. Woods shared his desk with princi- pal Everett W. Robinson. The MHS alumni rang in the year 1929 with a New Year's Eve party planned by Charlotte Allen (03) and Jennie Copeland (96). Sportswise Mansfield lost it opening football game to North Attleboro, 12-6, but rebounded at the con- clusion of the season. A 70-yard run by Joe Chippola early in the first quarter led M.H.S. to a 7-0 win over Foxboro. The 1929 M.H.S. basketball team won the Hockomock crown on February 21 with 29-5 trashing of Foxboro. The hoopsters went 15-2 on the year. The gridiron crew topped a fine fall in 1929 with a well-earned 6-0 victory over North Attleboro. Mans- field ended its tenth season with a 30-6 Thanksgiving win over Oliver Ames. In the winter of 1930, the Mansfield Board of Selectmen approved $8000 for needed school repairs. Coach James J. Kelly’s basketball team wiped out the Hockomock League (15-0) but the hometown dropped an opening round game in the Tech Tourney against Medford. Kelly’s baseball team went 13-4 and earned a tie for top honors in the Norfolk Inter- scholastic League. It was noted by the school board that the high school building had not been checked by state inspec- tors since 1924. The state supervisors proposed that a new 700 pupil school should be constructed on Church Street. 15 musicians showed up for the high school orches- tra in the fall of 1930. The band was under the direc- tion of Theodore C. Sargent. Supt. Woods announced that the enrollment in the high school was 241 but the school was only certified for 200 kids. In one of the all-time M.H.S. football routs, Mans- field crushed Oliver Ames 86-0 on Thanksgiving morning. Francis Murphy scored 41 points to lead the team. M.H.S. clinched the 1931 Hockomock basketball championship with a 32-26 win over Foxboro. The Mansfield baseball nine lost the pennant by one game to Franklin. On May 21, David V. Green resigned from the Mansfield school board. The high school gained 13 students (254) as the doors opened for the 1931-32 year. James J. Kelly, and many All-American footbal- lers, landed still another M.H.S. championship foot- ball team. Plans for the construction of the Memorial Park 3031 aes Sie nigerneeee Mr. James J. Kelly were proposed by Town Manager Harold H. Everett. Against the wishes of principal Robinson, the Mansfield nine, by a vote of the other teams involved, stayed in the Norfolk Interscholastic Baseball League. Mansfield was graced by the presence of Speaker of the House, Leverett Saltonstall, at the 1932 gradu- ation of 82 seniors. Miss Wilma M. Sowle gave the valedictory speech. Mansfield beat Oliver Ames 55-0 in the annual Thanksgiving classic. The M.H.S. eleven was under the direction of first year coach John Carnie. Superintendent Woods resigned his post on Janu- ary 27, 1933 for reasons he said, “Distrust and suspi- cion toward him.” A 418 name petition by townspeo- ple wishing Woods would return caused Dr. Carl J. DePrizio to quit from the school board. George S. Goodell was named to replace Woods. The operating school budget for 1933-34 was $87,000. The state told principal Robinson that the high school could hold 350 students. Robinson previ- ously announced the attendance at 274. Unexpectedly, Everett W. Robinson resigned and W. Everett Green was elected to fill the vacancy. 79 students received their diplomas as the Class of 34 was the highest ranking scholastic group in 20 years. Selectmen proposed the use of the park off of Church and Hope Streets to facilitate a grandstand and bandstand. Selectmen named the land “Memo- rial Park.” In 1936 a 19 year old Mansfield alumnus and ath- le te, Walter Ripley, was in Florida for the Boston Red Sox. Alex Ferzoco kept M.H.S. undefeated in the 1936 football with a 90 yard run as the Green and White topped Taunton on Thanksgiving, 6-0. They played the first game on Memorial Park pitch in a contest against Barnstable on October 3. The ’36 Mansfield team was called “‘the best gridiron team in the school’s history.” The office of the superintendent Soa oes hands in 1937 with Bert L. Merrill taking the job. The °37 MHS hoopsters advanced to the school boy tourney before bowing to Bridgewater 22-17. The Mansfield High School Latin Club celebrated its tenth anniversary. The High School principal was Donald P. Matton. The school committee approved curricula in Physi- cal Education and music as courses. In the winter of 1938, Lincoln Paine was elected as the chairman of the school board. Mansfield High School adopted professional bas- ketball rules for the ’38 season. The high school also certified students for college for the first time. Vir- ginia Andrews won National Shorthand honors. The Great Hurricane of °38 closed classes for two weeks. The selectmen forbade MHS basketball in the Town Hall but reversed their decision after they learned that the high school gym was unplayable. The 1939 yearbook was dedicated to principal R. Vernon Hays. The school board looked toward Hope Street as a site of a new high school building. 1939 saw the formation of the MHS Athletic Asso- ciation. The association raised $600 by selling season tickets to all Mansfield athletics. By eminent domain, the town of Mansfield received property off Hope Street for a new high school building. One of the biggest upset in sports at MHS occurred when the Foxboro gridders held Mansfield to a 0-0 tie. Up until that time Foxboro had never beaten Mansfield. Coach Bob Andrews’ Mansfield team had been favored by three touchdowns. Mansfield almost quit from the Hockomock League circuit after North Attleboro threatened to break off the annual football game with MHS. Eddie Besson was Mansfield’s 1940 All-Star in football. Former Mansfield High star lineman’ Don Currivan led Boston College to the 1941 Sugar Bowl. The School board approved a 1941 budget of $105,000. Among the 1941 seniors graduationg in the spring was a quadlingual named Walter Jellineck, receiving his diploma only at the age of 15, Walter previously lived and studied in Austria and Italy. Plans for a new $250,000 high school on Hope Street were abandoned due to World War II. Many of Mansfield’s boys were called to defend their coun- try. During the war years the Mansfield schools pre- pared for war emergencies by being instructed what to do in the case of bombings, blackouts, and fires. The high school newspaper, “The Tatler,” ran its Mansfield Schools in 1928 first edition in the fall of °42. David Jackson headed the staff. “The Tatler” was one of many in a long line of literary pbulications at MHS. A strong passing game gave Mansfield a 21-15 Tur- key Day win over Foxboro in November, 1942. The new Man sfield High School band marched sharply in the 1944 Memorial Day exercises. A four year high school system was proposed to be put into effect after the war. The fall of 1944 saw the annual Mansfield-Taun- ton football classic play its last game, with the Green and White defeating the Tigers 7-6. The first night pigskin contest in MHS’s history was played in Paw- tucket with Mansfield falling to St. Raphael’s, 20-6. A “looked over” squad demanded recognition in the winter of °45. The girls basketball team, playing since 1915, was led in 1945 by Patsy Dean, “Putt’ Blandori, and Ginny Delong. Talk of a new high school building was in the news again as new plans were drawn up. Approval for the new high school by the town was made but construc- tion of the facility was delayed until the cost could be lowered. The town asked the Federal Government for financial help in building the new school. The paying of women and men faculty equally was adopted in 1945. James J. Kelly returned to Mansfield High School as Athletic Director after an absence from coaching. In 1945-1946 all athletic teams played under the nickname “Hornets.” In 1946 the teachers received a $420 raise. In the following year Principal Paul Sykes was replaced by Authur E. Whitcomb. Whitcomb was a New Jersey man who had four years of experience at that occupation. He was paid $3320 for his services. Sixty-nine boys and girls received diplomas in the June Commencement ceremonies, the largest class since 1939-1940 when 81 seniors graduated. The year 1947-1948 marked the first time that the Mansfield Hornets faced the Blue and Gold of Fox- boro in the Thanksgiving Day football competition. John Certuse’s squad came out of the clash victori- ous, as Ray Kelley’s touchdown gave the Green and White a 13-7 decision. A $600,000 school was proposed, but plans were delayed because of the cost. The school budget stood ata record high of $167,000. The 180 day requirement caused Saturday classes to be held in June. The class of 62 seniors which grad- uated was the last to graduate from a three year high school as the school board followed through on ear- lier plans by merging the ninth grade with the other three grades. The High School experimented with some new cur- ricula in the next year. A boys’ cooking class was formed, as was a boys’ glee club. Mr. Whitcomb, at a school board meeting, said: “Our present high school is obselete as well as over- crowded.” This statement was justified when, later in the year, the high school cafeteria was deemed inade- quate, and consequently closed down. That caused an $880,000 school to be suggested, but that theory was shot down. Instead, $72,000 was granted for remodeling and renovations, which were done over the summer. This caused the school to open a week and half late in 1949-50. Football lowlights were numerous in the fall of °49. Among them was a touchdown run against Dart- mouth which was nullified, leaving the score 0-0 at the final gun. Bill Rossi zoomed 98 yards around end, but because a fan ran on the field during the play the umpire ruled no score. Foxboro dealt Mansfield another blow a week later by whipping them 37-0 on Thanksgiving Day. School committeeman Fred Wills remarked, “We have no high school at all.” The airport building on Fruit Street was used to house students from the overflowing high school. Many changes occurred early in the 1950-51 school year. Gerald W. Anderson was named principal, suc- ceeding Mr. Whitcomb, and after a six week stint was appointed superintendent, replacing Mr. Merrill. On account of lack of facilities the superintendent’s office was situated on the second floor of the Co- operative Bank. Earl G. Pithie took over Anderson’s vacated principal’s job. Pithie was a former North Attleboro High mentor. JOHN H. BERRY SCHOOL CENTRAL SCHOOL Mansfield Schools in 1928 bs Ja hal i ee ee ee ET, Q ST AA oy ot ‘ Among sport’s highlights was a 7-0 win by the Hor- net’s football team over Foxboro. Dick Pescosolido’s 60 yard toss to Curtis Griffin accounted for the only score. Griffin also showed his dominance on the hardwood, leading the Mansfield five to a 48-29 win over North. He netted 15 points. The school board approved a $233,846 budget for 1951-52. Sixty-three students received diplomas under sunny June skies. The 1951-52 school year opened with a new princi- pal at the helm, Knute Larson. He had a Bachelor of Arts degree from Clark University and he took office with many novel ideas in mind. Among them was the formation of a Student Council, which he said pro- moted self leadership and participation in good gov- ernment. 22 students were elected from each of the four grades. The teachers received a $100 raise as the budget ballooned to $265,402. The Mansfield Co-operative bank started an on- the-job training program with business students at MHS. The idea of a new high school began to gel and move closer to reality as the spring approached. The new facility was to contain grades 7-12, and it gained the approval of the school committee. With that sur- veys and studies of the land were made at the East Street site and groups of executives went to visit area schools for prospectives ideas. When a rough idea of the school was made, an architect, at a fee of $30,000, was flown in from Boston to design the structure. The first Mansfield High School uniformed band, under the direction of Mr. James Gallo, played its first concert at the Grange in early in early May. Following graduation ceremonies the class held its traditional banquet in the old high school gym. The 1952-1953 school year saw the state render its approval of the new high school building. Pamphlets and fliers were distributed all over town to tell the public about the facility. The building which was to go up on East Street, was to have 30 rooms went for an estmated cost of $1,585,000 dollars. The Mansfield News ran a feature, ““The Hornets Nest,” which contained stories, editorials and inform- Mansfield High School 75th Anniversary ation written by the MHS students. The school budget for the 1953-1954 school year reached an all time high of $303,034.19 when it gained approval of the School Committee. Everett W. Robinson, associated for 40 years with Mansfield High School as a principal, guidance exec- utive, and teacher, announced his retirement. Band maestro, James Gallo. and the newly formed Mansfield Band Parent Association, raised $2000 for new uniforms for the 75 member group. 49 seniors graduated and the following week was the 75th reun- ion of the first MHS graduating class. Three hundred twenty-seven children were in the hallowed halls of Mansfield High School as the 1953- 1954 year began. The new school, which the town was finally to receive after a 20 year wait, was in the news again. East Street was to be widened to 60 ft. to accomodate the body of traffic. Soon came the realization that the school was to cost almost $200,000 more than the operating budget of the town itself. That ultimately served to drive the already escalating tax rate even higher. Everett W. Robinson Two new members gained posts on the school com- mittee in the fall elections. Mrs. Elmer Watts and Mr. John J. Langdon. The band gave its annual concert on May 19, at the same time that Superintendent Anderson received a $400 raise. Sixty-four students traversed the school for the last time as June arrived. Hurricane ‘Carol’ rudely interrupted the grand opening of the newly completed high school in Sep- tember, 1954. Following the dedication in the new 600 seat auditorium, 522 students flooded the build- ing. The breakdown in the senior wing of the six year school was: 94 Freshmen, 95 Sophomores. 66 Juniors, and 62 Seniors. Many of the parents banded together to form the Mansfield High School P.T.A. By December only $1200 remained of the cost of the high school. Mr. Robinson returned to Mansfield High in December to dedicate the new gymnasium. In the game that followed the MHS Varsity netted 34 free throws en route to a 60-47 win over the alumni. 175 faithful Hornet fans turned out at the Boosters’ banquet for the boys and girls basketball teams. Mr. Anthony P. Melchiorri was named to chair- man of the School Committee, which was then meet- ing in the new auditorium. Now that the new high school had a complete library, many students, according to a Mansfield News’ interview, were planning to study there instead of the Public Library. 1600 students crowded the high school as the doors opened for the 1955-56 school year. Adult Education, a new program funded by the town, was holding its sessions in the new high school. High school students had three days sawed off April vacation because of an earlier polio epidemic. Two days later twin blizzards tied up the town with 28 inches of snow. Warm days soon followed, and the fifties’ teenage rediscovery of youth had an effect on clothing styles. Superintendent Anderson noticed this and issued a ban on all tight jeans, “Duck” haircuts, Garrison belts, flashy shirts, and other conspicuous clothing. The class of “11, known as the attic class, held its reunion at MHS. The baseball team ended its season on a sour note, bowing out to Milford in the State Tourney, 2-0. On opening day of the football season in 1956-57, Tino DiGiovanni and John Pomfret scored to give MHS a 13-0 win over Canton. DiGiovanni scored thrice against Case in a 26-24 win, and led the team to a 33-23 win over Dartmouth. Harold L. Qualters, a former Park Row principal, was appointed to assist H. Lea Mushroe, MHS prin- cipal, on New Year's, 1957. Administrative raises upped the budget to a high of $502,000. MHS started a new honor roll, and the school com- mittee announced that it cost $300 to educate one pupil in Mansfield. John Pomfret scored a record 377 points in basketball, and the band earned a spot in New York City’s Saint Patrick’s Day parade. Two administrative changes took place as the 1957- 58 school year opened. Theron Thompson was Super- intendent, and Mr. Qualters was named principal. The Hornets ranked 7th in Class ‘D’ football after a win over North Attleboro. On Thanksgiving Day MHS won 52-7, a record. The band went to the South Eastern music festival, and a choir of 130 performed a concert in late May. 75 seniors graduated. Late in 1957 the MHS gym was named in honor of Don Currivan, a former professional football player and alumni of MHS. who died on the Cape in the spring of °56. 1958-59 saw the school establish a National Honor Society. following in the footsteps of Foxboro High. Another relatively new MHS feature, the Alumni Scholarship Fund, raised $395 by mid-December. As a part of the $574,784 budget, the teachers received a $200 raise. Mr. Qualters announced that the valedictory and Salutatory addresses would once again be given by the top two seniors in the class. Previous to this the four essayists had rendered the speeches. Senior Basketball player Geoff Stearns scored a whopping 552 points in tha 1959 season (19.7 points per game), a new record. Stearns also became the first player to score 1,000 points in a Varsity career. Also led by freshman Ron Gentili, the team was Bay State Champions. 1959 marked the first time that Boys’ Golf became a sport, and tennis was on the schedules for the first time in 14 years. MHS also announced that North Attleboro would not be on the grid schedule for the fall of °69. That particular fall turned up roses for the Hor- nets. The squad, led by Gentili, and Tony Day, went undefeated for the campaign and was State Class ‘D’ champions. The results appear below: Mansfield 16, Somerset0 Mansfield 8, Dartmouth 6 Mansfield 32, Franklin 6 Mansfield 26, Case 0 Mansfield 26, O.A. 6 Mansfield 24, North 0 Mansfield 28, Canton 6 Mansfield 14, Foxboro 6 Gentili scored thrice in the Franklin game, and 3000 fans were on hand for the North contest. The 1960 school budget stood at $621,717. The English Department announced that the school paper, the “Tatler,” was to be revised. Boston College football coach Ernest E. Hefferle spoke at the Foot- ball Banquet. Before the class of °69 graduates Supt. Barker resigned. Albert J. Murphy succeeded Barker as the 1960-61 4 EPID ok cee yer citll | eee er ee Graduation Class of 1955 Class of 1916 at SOth reunion (1966) school year opened with 497 in the senior wing. Ralph DePillo, and Gentili received All-Hockomock football honors, though MHS did not repeat as champs. The budget of $667,571 showed a $45,000 increase Over previous operating costs. The Alumni Association announced that it had $633.57 in its scholarship fund by January, ’61. Gentili led the team to the State Class ‘C’ basket- ball finals, where MHS upset Grafton High 53-40. Diane Cleary was valedictorian and Kathleen Houghton was salutatorian as 96 seniors graduated. The band highlight of the year was an exchange trip with Agawan, a town no band member had ever vis- ited. Mr. Murphy announced that some improvements were in order for the 1961-62 school year. Among his suggestions was a 10,000 volume library, and a lan- guage lab, better lighting, and overall curricula improvement. Murphy’s motives for this were to strengthen the students for college entrance exams. The history, math, and foreign language curricula were all improved. In the high school enrollment of 647 there were ten sets of twins, which assistant principal John F. Maloney said was a record for a high school of Mansfield’s size. The Mansfield Hornet band conducted an exchange with a band from Burlington, Vermont. School Committee Chairman Melchiorri announced that he would not run for re-election, as he had pur- chased the Central Market. All out support was given to the Citizens’ Scholar- ship Fund drive. A road block on route 140 raised a grand total of $4321. Superintendent Murphy announced that the High School had dropped Driver Education as a course because excessive student interest had driven the cost high. Jane Cronin was valedictorian, and Barbara Kudd- zol was the student who rendered the salutatory speech as 111 seniors graduated. The 1962-63 school year was greeted with another mandate from Superintendent Murphy, who stated, “Parents should not encourage children who persist in defying reasonable rules and regulations.” Disobedience of this order was soon to follow, as six students were expelled for vandalism. The offen- ses that Murphy termed vandalism were such things as wrapping toilet paper around the front trees of the high school and pulling out the north goalposts at Memorial Park. Hornet band director James Gallo asked the school committee to permit the entry of more children into the band, but the administrators upheld the previous limit, which said that 72 could participate in the band, and ten in the color guard. Gallo backed up his plea with the fact that there was a surplus of band uniforms, but to no avail. The new elementary school to be built opposite the high school was named in honor of Everett W. Rob- inson, who gave of his life diligently in the forty years of his service to Mansfield High School. Midway through the school year the valedictorian and salutatorian were announced. They were, respec- tively, Diane Marshall and Elaine Maxwell. The MHS basketball team traveled to the Tech Tourney, but bowed out in the first round to a power- ful Rockland team, 65-59. $60,000 was allocated for the purpose of repairing the high school. The area of most concern was the brick wall of the school, which needed to be repained and waterproofed. The original building errors which caused this were said to be “just faulty workman- ship.” The boys tennis team won the Hockomock League title for the second consecutive campaign. The MHS band, drill team, and color guard won the first prize in the city of Quincy’s annual Christ- mas parade in 1963. A Statistic from the superintendent’s office noted that the salaries of the teachers accounted for 7 % of the school system’s operating budget. The band had another exchange, this time with the Princeton (N.J.) High School. The Hornets also gave their annual concert on April 17. 12 students, a mixture of seniors and underclass- men, were accepted into the National Honor Society during candlelight ceremonies in the school audito- rium. $9000 in scholarships was awarded to 117 sen- iors, the largest group ever, on Class Day. The Hornet baseball team, behind winning pitcher James Albertini, captured the Hockomock League title with a 6-3 dousing of the King Philip Warriors. 652 students were present at the outset of the 1964- 65 school year. The valedictorian was Miss Wilma Farinella and the salutatorian was David Ingram. The difference in the averages of the two was .001. A study by the administrative offices showed that 47% of the student body ate school lunches. “We are really moving along,” said Mr. Gallo as the band of 115, color guard of 10, and drill team of 24 prepared to set off an exchange to Newton, New Jersey. Teachers and administrators in the elementary school level were not invited to attend the Com- mencement exercises. Donald Sweet held a pre-class rally in the school parking lot. 300 students were on hand to hear Sweet ask for support of the MHS athletic teams. The boys tennis team won the Hockomock again, this time led by Bob Annese in singles and Dick Dutton and Don Maxwell in doubles. 690 was the attendance for 1965-66 and as usual, Supt. Murphy greeted the students with his senti- ments on obedience and the student dress code. “We have no time to take from our busy academic programs for students who choose not to obey school regulations on conduct,” said Murphy. Murphy sup- pressed persistent complaints by refusing to talk with parents of the offending students. In fall sports action, the Hornets downed Hol- brook 20-14 with some pretty passing, and a touch- down sprint by George Costanza. Principal Qualters approved the construction of an $11,000 language laboratory at the high school. For the first time the school’s budget rose above the one million dollar mark. The cost of running the schools in °66 was $1,021,244. Mr. Gallo announced that the band would travel to Boston to play at a December 18 football game between the Patriots and the Houston Oilers. MHS football captain Kevin Fallon was named to the All-Hockomock squad at the coaches seminar in Canton. John Flammia secured the Don Currivan Memorial Trophy with a Thanksgiving Day jaunt of 90 yards as the Hornets edged Foxboro, 14-13. There were many a close call for the basketball team, as the squad came out on the short end of four overtime games in the first part of the year. All 20 of the Mansfield Hornet cheerleading squad were suspended and the sport ceased after the girls made unbecoming gestures on the basketball court in a game against the King Philip Warriors. The main reason of the suspension was that the girls disobeyed the orders of their faculty advisor, Mrs. Edward Mar- cheselli, Supt. Murphy gave the cold shoulder to com- plaining parents. Wheaton College president William Prentice was the speaker at the graduation ceremonies. The enrollment in Mansfield schools tipped the books at 2007, the first time that the 2000 mark had been passed. The School Building Committee, along with Mr. Qualters, discussed with an architect, the possibility of a “terminal” school facility, holding as many as 1000 pupils. The site of this structure as the adjacent wooded area on the east side of the present high school. Supt. Murphy and Mr. Qualters dis- cussed the educational aspects of the new building. The band went to Boston to greet the President of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson. Bill Parsons’ football squad dropped the Thanksgiving Day con- test to Foxboro 21-0. The two teams split the gate receipts, each receiving $1292. Combined raises to teachers totaled $100,000 and the school budget was $1,172,000. The two story new high school building that was to be constructed had the approval of Supt. Murphy, and later the plans were set before the voters. A mar- gin of 342-26 approved the $2,400,000 building as long as the state paid 40% of the bill. Jean M. Farquharson was valedictorian and James F. Durant was salutatorian as 109 seniors graduated. Mr. William DeStefano was principal as 800 stu- dents showed up on the first day of school in 1967. DeStefano was a graduate of Dartmouth University, a navy reserve lieutenant, and a former principal at Taunton High School. Supt. Murphy gave DeStefano Front Row: Dr. Collins, Mr. Blandori, Ms. Cotton. Sec- ond Row: Mr. Hindman, Mr. Day, Mr. Guerini, Mr. Breen. a vote of confidence, saying that he should be able to handle the tough financial burdens that the new school would bring. Several students at the school were dismissed on opening day, at the order of Supt. Murphy, to either get a haircut or change their wearing apparel. On the gridiron, the Hornets snapped the Franklin Panthers’ 22 game win streak with a decisive 34-13 win. Captain David DeGirolamo was the game’s leading scorer and rusher. The cost of the new high school had risen to 3.7 million dollars, until School Building Committee Chairman James A. Garland finalized the figure at $4,428,732. The town voted on that school, but the 275-206 vote in favor of it was not a two-thirds majority, ther efore voting the proposal down. The town later reversed the decision and ground breaking ceremo- nies were held on April 28, 1968. A former athlete and MHS alumnus, James Alber- tini, was killed in action in Vietnam. Corporal Alber- tini was the first Mansfield victim of the war. 133 graduated, with Mary Durant as valedictorian and Betsy McCoy rendering the salutatory speech. 710 were recorded on the MHS attendance sheets as two new members were added to the faculty. Superintendent Murphy was replaced by Lyman C. Avery. Supt. Avery announced that the schedule in the new high school would be a rotating one. This was done to get away from the strict day to day rigors of the old schedule. The Mansfield High School football team was the tri-champions of the Hockomock League in 1968. The MHS band held their annual exchange with a band from Pennsylvania. Westcott Construction Company, the business hired to build the new high school, notified Mr. DeStefano that the facility would not be completed at the scheduled time, forcing the grades 6-12 to go on double sessions. The opening of the school was delayed longer at the outset of the 1969-70 school year because of a contract.dispute with the custodians. The argument arose when the School Committee cut $25,311 off the custodians’ salary. The dispute was later resolved. A fight arose when there was a question over the length of dresses in the high school. The question was “How short was too short?” October 20-21 were the days when the students packed up and moved into the new high school build- ing, but the school was still not finished. Problems soon arose after the move. The new gym surface in the massive gym was deemed unacceptable. During the winter months three science rooms and the home economics suite began to leak. Raymond F. Federici was appointed to the chair- man seat on the school board. The school budget stood at $1,830,291. Through basketball season, in which the varsity lost 13 straight, no MHS varsity team had won a sporting event. There was one bright spot on the court though; Junior Alex Salachi was the league’s leading scorer with 279 points (21.5 per game). A rash of bomb scares greeted Mansfield High School in the spring. The longest one lasted two hours. The school was dedicated on March 15, 1970 in the 648 seat auditorium. The gym was honored to James C. Albertini, who gave his life in his country’s service. Hundreds praised the structure as they toured it. A study by the superintendent’s office showed that 40% to 50% of the students at MHS were either addicted or had experimented with some form of nar- colic. At the close of the year the band exchanged con- certs with Pequea Valley, Pennsylvania, and the base- ball team dropped five straight to lose a shot at the pennant. 569 was the number of students as the new high school was used in its first full year. The Foxboro Warriors defeated the Hornets 33-0 in the Turkey Day classic that game was the 40th annual, and was played at Schaefer Stadium in Fox- boro. That loss also marked the 48th consecutive set- back for the MHS grid team. Miss Emma Shapleigh, a Mansfield teacher for 47 years, retired May 21, 1970. Mansfield broke a 17 game tailspin in basketball. + “ “oa $ a ix e ode f 5 ‘3 5a) Action during 1976 Mansfield football championship beating Westport 87-64. Salachi scored a school record 45 points in that game. The school budget rose above 2 million dollars , at $2,081,611, in 1970-71. In February of 1971 the custodians went on strike over a contractual dispute, as did the cafeteria work- ers and clerks. The Hornets Hoopsters broke their Hockomock League losing streak with a 71-67 win over the King Philip Warriors. Alex “The Fox” Salachi netted 32 points. Salachi also made All-Hockomock in basket- ball. The MHS Band held an exchange concert with a band from Amherst Central High School in Snyder, NY. The new Hornet track was dedicated to James J. Kelly. The first annual Kelly relays also took place that year. Harold Qualters passed away on April 25, 1971, —and the old high school, which was being used as the Mansfield Middle School, was named after him. In 1971-72 the Math team went to the finals in the State. The school budget stood at $2,348,154, and the Middle School principal Dr. Gerald Bourgeois named supervisor in charge of secondary school cur- riculum. In 1972-73 season, Tony Day took over at the helm for MHS football. He guided the team to its first win in 27 games, a state record for losing streaks, as Paul Ferrara and Paul Pedini scored in a 13-0 win over Norton. Later in the year the Hornets picked up their first Hockomock League win since 1968, a 15-7 win over Oliver Ames. Bernard O'Malley was elected Chairman of the School Committee. Jack Auld placed his name on the top ten scoring listin MHS history by scoring 244 points in the 72-73 basketball season. He had a career total of 645 tallies. Ray Lively scored 295 in the 72-73 campaign. Avery resigned from the superintendent’s position, ending a time span in which he made MHS the “envy of area communities.” The Hornet band picked up a first place in the Southeastern Massachusetts District Music Festival. At the outset of the 1973-74 school year, a Houston educator, Dr. John Collins, was appointed as superin- tendent. The major highlight of this year was the band’s trip to Disney World in Florida. The band Mansfield High School 1978 : De Centennial Class Graduates also won first prize in the State Marching contest. On Homecoming Day, 1974, the Hornets sent the town of Mansfield into a continuous three day cele- bration as Mark Wood scored a list minute T.D. ona long end run to give MHS a 19-14 win over the Franklin Panthers. The Hornets ended that season on a down note, losing to Foxboro 39-27 on Thanksgiving Day in the snow and mud. Steven Corey led the 14-2 boys tennis team to the Hockomock League title. The Hornets also won the J.J. Kelly Relays for the first time. In October, 1975, a student’s suspension caused 150 students to boycott classes. The student dress code also received a face lift, as moustaches and beards were allowed for the first ttme. The MHS boys track team won the Hockomock League Title with an untainted 11-0 showing. The 1976-77 version of the Mansfield Hornets foot- ball team won its first Hockomock League champion- ship since 1968. The team lost only one game, that being a 21-20 decision to North Attleboro, and that loss kept the team from the state championship. Elmars Reks was the team’s leading rusher with 1,013 yards, and he made All-State defensive end. Steve Lively and Joe Nett, both juniors, were among the six Hornet players to be named to the All-Hocko- mock team. The winter of 1976 saw sophomore Paul Souza become the first MHS sophomore to score 300 points in a season. Souza also enjoyed a successful spring, as he leaped to a height of 6-10” in the high jump. 16 Mr. Tighe, Mr. O'Malley, Mr. Guerrini. The Mansfield baseball team, under first year coach Dave Law, finished third in the League with a 10-7 record. Bruce MacPhee was the leading pitcher with an 8-2 record. In the summer of °77 the Mansfield High School Hornet Band realized a dream it had had since March of 1976. On August 3, 1977, a little after mid- night, a TWA chartered jet lifted off the runway at Logan Airport, Boston, taking over a hundred happy students to the Emerald Isle. The Band stayed there for 17 days touring Limerick, Dublin, and Galway, among other towns. Some of the eighth grade band members accompanied the band. The 1977 football team, after suffering the lose of Scott Carpenter, lost three games and did not repeat as league champs. After Carpenter’s return the team went On a Six game winning streak though, which saw the emergence of runningback Chris Gonsalves. Gonsalves, though only starting five games was the team’s leading rusher. Souza scored 342 points in the 1977-78 basketball campaign, but a 12 game losing streak hurt the team, and dropped it from contention. Paul also was voted to the Boston Globe All-State track team as a high jumper. He and runners Danny and Dirk Lamagno, and pole vaulters Dennis and Jay Buckley, led the track team to a high finish, and in the winter, six first place finishes gave the Hornets the crown for Indoor Track. That leaves us with the biggest moment of the Mr. William DeStefano Ist Row: Dr. Ptaschnik, Dr. Collins, Mr. Day, Mr. Hindman, Ms. Gi a Ibert, Mr. Gearhart. 2nd Row: school year. On June 4, 1978, 171 seniors were at Memorial Park under blue skies, and received their diplomas, which were handed by Vincent Guerrini and principal DeStefano. Dr. Joon Collins announced his resignation that year. ; This class was the highest ranking academic class in years, led by valedictorian Kathryn Sue Harsch and salutatorian Stephanie Girard. The group also received a school record of $85,000 in scholarships. This class was deemed one of the most versatile and talented in the school’s history. So ends the first century of Mansfield High School. It outgrew five buildings and countless administra- tors and faculty but never outgrew the strong educa- tional talents that it gave to its students. May those who enter the doors in the next one hundred years find the same success and happiness that Mansfield High School gave in the last one hundred. kK We are deeply indebted to Mrs. Warren Chapman and Miss M ary Halliday for pictures and invaluable information. Mr. Spencer Kelley DREAMS by Wendy Sharpe, ’78 The dreams we’ve dreamed that have not come true, we'll dream again until they do. The places we’ve been, the things we’ve done will all disappear with the fading sun. We have not conquered all there is to explore, and here we find that there is much much more. We leave the past and its memories and remember only what we dare not forget. As years go by we'll go our way growing further apart with each passing day. We will not forget our lifetime friends, for all the love we share will never end. Where do we go when this day is through, we have so much to say, a lot more to do. Wipe away tears and dry our eyes, now we must leave and say our good- byes. We have not conquered all there is to explore, and here we find that there is much, much more. And here we find that there is more. CLASS ODE 1928 by Roy Irving Martin The day is ending; the sun sinks low. Its rays ascend- ing in one last glow. The dawn tomorrow will be bright, a day of sunshine, joy, delight. Blithely we start at the break of day With hope and courage and laughter gay; We'll follow where the path may lead, True to ourselves in word and deed. Though cloudy skies may betoken rain We'll still press on each our goal to gain. What matter if some rain does fall, Sunshine and shadow come to all. ARCTURUS by Bill Frank and Mike Beach, ’78 When a candle is lit, some of the darkness is gone, the flame lingers on and helps show the way. As we stand here now with our hearts burning bright, Let’s join in the hope that we’ll spread the light. And the time has come for us to go our separate ways. Let’s live our future as our yesterdays. And let us all shine the light, always burning so bright. When a friendship is born, part lasts for all time, the love lingers on, and helps show the way. I will never forget, the times that we shared, the memories will light my way. And the time has come for us to go our separate ways. Let’s live our future as our yesterdays. And let us all shine the light, always burning so bright. Class Song 1937 By Mary Elizabeth Belcher As the rosy dawn lights the eastern hills, to herald the coming day, We face the years with determined wills, And eagerly scan life’s way. We seek fresh summits to attain, And all but lofty heights disdain. May the courage and hope of life’s bright morn through the afternoon prevail; Each failure bring a faith reborn, the stormy peaks to scale; Each triumph give us humbleness, the will to serve, the power to bless. When the sinking sun has gone to rest, Suffusing the distant plain with the radiant glow of his fiery crest, A glory of golden rain, Then shall we come to life’s last mile, A song in our hearts, on our lips a smile. When to the top we have won at last, Our hardships over and sorrows past, A glorious view our eyes shall meet, A smiling world beneath our feet.

The Hornets beat the Red Rocke- teers, 29-18 and topped off a super Homecoming Weekend in which Denise Holland was crowned M.H.S. queen. The Hornets posted a fine 7-3 record and placed second in the Hockomock League. Mansfield finished off Norton, 40-6, and Oliver Ames 14-16 in the opening two games of the season. Senior quarterback, Scott Carpenter, accounted for 22 of the 40 points in the game versus the Lancers. Carpenter threw two touchdown passes, ran for another and scored two extra points. Steve Lively added two touchdowns of his own. After the game against the Tigers, QB, Scott Car- penter suffered an injury and was out for three games. Mansfield was stunned by Stoughton (21-14), Franklin (19-8), and Sharon (14-6). These three losses, as close as they were, shut the door on a sec- ond Hockomock League Championship. In the game against Old Rochester, there was a sudden change with Carpenter back in. The Hor- nets racked up 334 yards to O.R.’s 84. Mansfield bombed the Bulldogs, 27-8. The Green Machine received touchdowns, from Dan Harris, Steve Lively, Chris Gonsalves, and Dirk Lamagno. Mansfield’s second season continued strong with a 28-7 bombing of the King Phillip Warriors. Lively continued his touchdown parade with two more scores. Gonsalves and Harris added one touchdown each. This set the stage for one of the best Hornet victo- ries in Mansfield High’s history. The victim; North Attleboro. The Red Rochets had edged M.H.S. by one point each for the past two years, and North’s win in °76 cost the Hornets a Super Bowl berth. After N.A. had scored midway through the first period Mansfield had an offensive burrage which the Hornets put 21 points on the board after three peri- ods. North came back in the fourth stanza with two touchdowns within four minutes, but the Hornets ge both P.A.T.’s and held on for the win. The following week, Mansfield destroyed the league’s champions, Canton 12-7. Scores came on a beautiful 48 yard pass from Carpenter to John Jacki- mowicz and a 4 yard run by Chris Gonsalves. The Hornets shut out the Foxboro Warriors for the third year in a row 13-0 in the season finale. Chris Gonsalves rushed for 123 yards, scored one touchdown and was named the game’s M.V.P. 114 feet 115 a @ ia aw he “f : SR SN ee Be me ) = had . ee bteus PM Captains Joe Nett, Danny Harris, Coach Day, Captains Ronnie King, Chris Gonsalves. i ars i — | : : On your mark, get set, goooo! em 116 Yr Great form, Bill!

The Hornet field hockey team had a tough season going 2-13-3 and finishing eighth in the Hockomock League. Although coming out on the losing end, the Hornets were close in many of their games. The 77 Hornets were led by tri-captains Mary Conroy, Chris Morton, Pam Marvelle. Seniors Anne Coughlin, Elaine DeLong. and Sue Sankey played a key role for Mansfield. Other outstanding seasonal performances were turned in by Nancy Bachman, Kim Kay, Paula Chambers, Cindy Max- well, Debbie Shephard, Jean Pollistor, Jean Todesco, Robin Gorrard, Martha Connor and Ellen O'Malley. With those fine players the Hornet’s future looks bright. 121 The Varsity cross country team had a spirited season going 6-13. Victories were over Norton (twice), King Philip, North Attleboro (twice), and Franklin. The Hornets were led by senior captains Steve Fitzgerald and Tom Sherman. Scott DeGirolamo was among the top carriers in the Hockomock circuit. Other runners included David Muise, Paul King, Doug Muise, Steve McCormack, Jay Doyle, Mike Beach and Jeff “C.R.B.” Rys, Kathy King. pes . rs ir Std ea ee ed LI ad So Kathy King, Tom Sherman Captain, missing Jeffrys. 122 ‘ 4 a a x 3 : en ee rarer oS GPE’. - ie a eee its, eet It’s the bionic freshman! Winter Track Mansfield’s indoor track team.. became M.H.S.’s only second unbeate team as the Hornets raced toa Hockomock League championship. Dirk Lamagno raced to a state championship in the 50 yard dash. Lamagno went undefeated in the dash and was the team’s M.V.P. Other All Hockomock Selections were Scott Bregnard (shot put), Dan Lamagno (high hurdles), and Mark Colby who set a Hockomock League mark in the high jump at 6’5” “Stand back, world.” Captain Distance Is she really worth it? Behind the scenes. Boy’s Basketball The 1977-78 Mansfield Hornet basketball team had a spectacular start and gave its fans some excellent basketball, more than its 8-12 record showed. The major highlight of the season was the week of Christmas vacation. Paul Souza swished 27 points as the Green swainped North 62-56, co-captain Joe Finn netted 17 points as the Hornets knocked off Foxboro 70-57. Co-captain Phil Collingwood scored 22 points in a losing effort against Bellingham, but the Hornets came back to put on their best performance of the year. An all out team effort helped the Hornets edge the then sec- ond place Sharon Eagles 60-57. After that win, it was all downhill for the cagers. Mansfield was close in quite a few of the games it dropped in the following weeks. The most painful was the 58-57 loss to the Stough- ton Black Knights. After Stoughton threat- ened to open a close game, Mansfield roared back and took the lead late in the game. Stoughton was left with 16 seconds to put the ball in the net, and on the fifth shot Steve Moriarty succeeded, tying the score at 57. Moriarty was fouled and after some stalling, he stood at the line and sank the winning free throw. Mansfield’s most valuable player of the campaign was Junior for- ward Paul Souza. Souza scored 342 points to lead the team, and was named to the All-Hockomock squad. He has a chance to become only the third player in Mansfield History to score 1,000 points. Joe Finn was the team’s second leading scorer with 194 points, followed by Scott Carpenter with 189. 126 Hockomock Team Player — Paul Souza “The Ultimate Moment” bad a : } eA, , ’ P open TN‘ Gi Capt.

Under rookie Coach Alex Sala- chi, Mansfield found tough going in the league. The Green and White’s only bnght spot was the play of Ellen O’Malley. Ellen averaged eight points a game and will be a vital cog in the Green Machine in years to come. Debbie Downey, Jean Todesco, Diana Tighe, Janice Wilkinson, and Mary Conroy were standouts during the winter. The future seems a bit brighter for Coach Salachi and the Mansfield High School Girls Varsity Basketball Team. 128 CA 5 “Where did they get the three kids, Anthony?” —— The thrill of victory!” = Coach Hanlon, S.

DePalma. =e. oie ae Ag After a successful year in 1977 under coach Dave Law, the Hornets nine took their knocks in 1978. Led by captains Scott Carpenter and Joe Finn, the squad registered only three wins in 17 contests leav- ing them in the Hockomock League. The first victory for the green and white was at the hands of the Franklin Panthers. The score was 11-9. Every Hornet collected at least one hit, and the team had 13 all total. The big hits were triples by John Jackimowicz and Bill Nordberg. Steve Wentzell was the winning pitcher. In the very next game Mansfield was victorious again, this time edging the Stoughton Black Knights 5-4 in 10 innings. Nordberg scored the winning run ona wild pitch. The only other Hornet win was an 8-2 passing of North Attleboro. Jack Clagg tossed an eight hitter to salvage a win, and first baseman Ron King provided the big hits. Tom Sherman was the Hornets leading hitter, fol- lowed by King. King also led the team in RBI’s with 12 131 132 Softball 2 � gee m - et, - ae ee ee st Front Row, L to R: S. Paulson, T.

The girls first victory came against Medway with a score of 17-10. The Hornets then started their regular season against Sharon, also victorious by a score of 6-3. Senior Captain Pam Marvelle kept the team’s spirits going. Records and scores do not tell the whole story. The team did an excellent job on and off the field. Other mem- bers of the team were Capt. Sue Andres, Terri Mastrorilli, Judy Wellington, Terri Morrison, Sandy Paulson, Paula Chambers, Julie Wagner, Elaine Kaleta, Donna Waters, Tracy Juda, Maria Restagno, Debbie Downey, and Laura Holske. Mansfield had a total of 4 homeruns led by Judy Well- ington with 2. The team also had 9 triples led by Debbie Downey with 4, and 18 doubles led by Judy Wellington and Elaine Kaleta with 4 each. 133 OPEC THFE epee te: ht 8 PEEERR ee 1h ai “ or eee « woe, PE Ri ee a : CORE Be tere Mtg, ay pr + (lle Mig ge Pt 134 bi BAS ii} f 7 : 4H ? i iibbe Bes : 4 Hy see ee ee a a eed : rae ‘ 2 meter Maen be 5 i nH RQ itt ttt MERSREREEETES..

The record of qualified high school graduates averages about 180 annually. Mansfield High alumni lead in widely varied endeavors; in busi- ness, the arts and sciences, and count- less prestigious worthy services.
