193 3 MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL 193 3 Class History Leo D. Curley History relate.s the rise, progress, and de- cline of human societies. Our rise began February 4, 1912 with the birth of Eileen Huxley. We have progressed from the state of youthful barbarians to the cultured and dignified .young men and women of the class of 1933. Our decline lies in the fact that we have been ordered to vacate these premises. Can it be that Gramp GoodAvin ' s shoukl- ers have become weakened, by the strain of holding up the commercial end of this school ? Surely you all remember the tip toe march that Ave made with bated breath across C2 during our Sophomore year. Let us go back to Ancient History. Our first years of school were surely very happy ones. Who could have had a better beginning than those of us who had Miss Flora M. Clark in the first grade? Miss Clark passed away May 5. a woman of loving qualities, an ex- ample of a true teacher. Well we remember our first year, especially Bud Paun in his khaki soldier suit. Though he first favored the Army, he now has a leaning towards the Navy. Best wishes for the future admiral ! During our fifth year we made great pro- gress attending school with the Town Fathers in the Town Hall. At Bates School the class increased in niim- bers due to the immigrants from North Middleboro, South Middleboro, and the Rock, bringing us Mildred Bassett and Brad West- gate. Remember Mr. Burkland ' s wonderful assemblies, the famous orations of Daniel Freedman, and the great scientific experi- ment performed by Gerard deBoer resulting in an explosion that nearly sent the class of ' 33 to the morgue. Our annual class trip to Boston will never be forgotten. We lost Miss Dcane in the Art Museum and it took an hour to find her. Had Apo ' lo won her heart or was she searching for winged Victory ' s hand? At last in ' 29 we were Freshmen. Tliis was also the beginning of the depression and perhaps accounts for our low scholastic stand- ing. Another bunch of immigrants arrived off the busses from Lakeville and Carver. This migration gave us Oscar April, the scientist, Jolm Teixeira, our pitcher, Laura Holmes, editor-in-chief of the Sachem, Luther Sar- gent, the baby of the class, and Andy Gomes, the greatest shortstop Middleboro High has ever had. Our Freshman social was a great success, man.y timid Freshmen venturing forth May 14th after their winter hibernation. This year the Facultj ' made history. Mr. Hyman became a Benedict and Mrs. Bertha Russell staged a dramatic scene at the Little Church Around the Corner, in old Ncav York. We regretted the loss of Miss Allen for she was a remarkable French teacher. Miss Brier took her place and has carried on nobly. As Sophomores we began to make ourselves known. Edward Rondelli and Charles Lee made their letters on the football team and it Avas this fall that Walter Berry fell out of a tree and acquired his hook arm. During this year Middleboro High School lost a true friend, Mr. Walter Samiison, be- loved Principal Emeritus. Our class, too, had lost dear members: Charles Souza and Louis Willett Avhile Freshmen and William Huxley as a Sophomore. Tlieir memory will alAvays be dear to us.
