Page T h ii I y -i«f mum mm A GROWING INDUSTRY OF ATTLEBORO Of late years, chemistry has come to play an in- tegral part in our industry and in our daily lives. Im- proved fuels make our automobiles run better; new alloys of metal make possible streamlined airplanes and high-speed trains; new chemical processes have founded entirely new industries, but of these many innovations, the one perhaps best known to the general public is the field of plastics. Plastics can b ? used for almost every conceivable purpose: combs, radios, jar tops, ornaments, and countless other small household articles are now made of plastics, and they are coming to be used for larger and larger objects. Plastics can be employed for almost any necessary task, as is shown by the fact tha t a certain man whose skull was crushed is now alive and walking around in perfect health, thanks to the bakelite skull which now covers his cranium. These new materials have many properties com- monly unavailable in other substances. There are special plastics having the qualities of a lasting finish, any desired color, imperviousness to solvents, acid- resistance, alkali-resistance, great strength, insulating properties, and many others as w( ll. A nianutacturer can find a plastic to fill almost any need he may have. The average plastic is, chemically considered, a cluster of extremely long molecular chains. These chains may be scattered and pointing haphazardly in all directions, as in bakelite and beetleware, or they may be stretched out side by side in a thin filament, as in nylon, the new material which threatens to replace silk. There are many different classes ot plastics: bakelite is the phenol-formaldehy l ' type ; beetleware, the urea-formaldehyde type; while nylon, which I have already mentioned, and lucite ; the plastic which conducts light around corners, are cellulos( acetates. To show you how the small plastic ash tray you have at home was made, I shall trace the story from the making of the plastic, which I shall assume to be bakelite, through the molding process to the finished article. Phenol, or carbolic acid, as it is commonly called, is combined with gaseous formaldehyde, under the influence of a catalyst. There are several different catalysts in ordinary use, each one producing a slightly different product. But no matter what the catalyst, the result of the combination of these two materials is a resinous or tarry substance. This resin is then mixed thoroughly with a filler and a coloring pigment. This fill, i- is generally wood, ground into extremely fine powder. But sometimes, to give the plastic special properties, other fillei s are used such as asbestos, to produce a fireproof plastic. After the resin has been mi.xed with the filler, the plastic is a solid mass, completely unlike the smooth black ash tray which we are discussing. This material is then made into small granules by grinding. The manufacturer of your ash tray probably bought his plastic in the granulated form, for the manufacturer seldom makes his own plastic. In the factory one of two things was next done. The granulated plastic may have been put directly into the mold, or else it may have been first pressed into the approximate shape of the finished product. The object of tnis primary shaping, or preforming , as it is called in the factories of Attleboro and other cities, is to make sure that the plastic will reach all portions of the mold, and also to reduce the space needed in the mold before heat and pressure are ap- plied. In either case, the next step is to subject the material to great pressure at high temperatures in a mold of special steel. The first effect of the heat is to melt the plastic, so that under the pressure it readily flows into all parts of the mold. Then, as greater pressure and heat are applied, the plastic hardens in th ' mold. Wh( n it is removed, after a cooling period, there is the finished ash tray with a smooth shining finish which requires no polishing. This tray will not melt under heat, for the heat and pressure in the mold changed it chemically so that it is uomeltable. As you can readily see, it is the mold which de- termines what the product will be. This shows that whatever can be molded, can be made from plastics. This fact presages a tremendous future for plastics. In the world of tomorrow, we may find not o ily knick- knacks and small articles made of plastics, but larger and more complex things as well. There is at present a company which is experimenting with the possi- bility of using plastic fenders on automobiles. Plastic Page T h i r t ij - o n e furniture is hv ' ma tested, and there is ( ven talk of a completely plastic house, with every single part composed of synthetic plastics. Our manufacturers in Attleboro are using plastics more and more. Our jew?lry factories are producing plastic rings, bracelets, and pins. Plastic radio cabinet- are being produced here for one of the lai ;c.-t niaiiu- facturersof midget radios in the United States. II the manufacturers of Attleboro take advantage of th- new- fields constantly being ojiened to them by plastics, our prosperity will be materially benefited. A man connected with the plastics trade her( in Attleboro characlciizcd it as, one of the fastest grow- ing industries in the world, with the l)iggest future a- head of it . ' Flic only lurllicr coniincnt 1 can make on this wondeiiul new field of rcscai-cli is to say, W ' liat miracles science hath wrought! . — t(inl(ii Ih.lhrook More tlian two thousand yeais ago the Roman orator Cicei-o said, ■■ ' Fhcre is no people so savage or so ignorant that tiuy do not know thci ' e is a Cod. We have but to look back into tlie story of primitive man and read the records of icligiou- behefs that he lias lett behind him. The weird aper titions, the bloody . ' sacrifices and peculiar ceremonies, and the ancient rites at the burial of the dead — all give evidence that the earliest people had a religion. Alan has always expressed his ciavings tor worship, be it pagan or Christian; th ' more jiertect the God, the better the man. The great tombs and massive pyramids of Kg -pt told al)out their faith in a life after death; the ancient Ciceks and Homans W(ir nipiie(l gods and godde.s. es who directed tlie live aiid fate ut mankind. The Hebrews who lived in ancient Palestii:e weie the first to believe that one God controlled the universe. This heritage of religion w ' hich can ])e shared by one and all has come down to us tnday, thidugh struggle, persecution, and even martyidoni : xi it is fitting that Attleboro, in showing her giatitude for the benefits of all religions at d {nr th.ii- pi-e , ' r ation throughout the centuries, vjiduld (h j.-aie li. ' i- churches. -Many interesting incident - have been wi-iiten on the re- cords of the numerous chui-che.- a t h. y ha ■ . .-tal)lislied their places in our community of Ati lebi)i(j, but limited time demands that we relate only a few of the.se to- night. Maav years before its incorporation, Attleboro was one parish and for several years alter it became a town, a preacher could not be suppm ted because ot the few inhabitants. As soon as pos-ibi Ik. w ever, an enterprising group determined to insure spiritual wel- fare for all by making provisions tm a church. In 174. , the Second Congregational Church was established in . ttleboro, since the church in Oldtown — the only one within a radius of seventy miles — was too far away, especially in winter. A small meeting house was erected and used until the so-called White Church was built in 1S24. Toward the latter part of the last century the (jUestion ot a new edifice, remote from the noise of the nearby ti-ains and from the commercial center ol the city, ai ' d.-c, but because the spot on which the chiu ' ch stood was so rich in memories, the new brick church was placed close l)y the old white one. As Attl( bni ' ii grew into a lai ' ger town, other denomi- ratiors ap])eai ' ed along with the influ.x of people who came to settle I ' .ei ' e dining the latter part ot the eigh- teenth century. Shortly aftei- the Civil W nr a Method- ist ministei ' and a laynia.n fi ' om Pawtucket started the Methodist Kpiscopal Church in old Union Hall on Xorth Main Slnct. The name ( ' ej;tenaiy was added because tlii i;ew branch was Ijegun a century alter Metlmdism had been introduced into this countiy. The fir-t cliui ' ch used was on the site ol the piesetit one. I- ' ourteeii years later, just after tlie SlO, ()()() dcht was lilted, t he cluu ' ch was biuT.ed to its louiidatioj ' s, but in a hort lime the cotii-ageous pastor, the K ' V. Mr. Rich, had niea-inements taken for a new building which was (k ' dicated in 1912. Ju.st before the beginning of Alethodism in Attle- boro, an attempt to establish an Episcopal Church was made: but because of the upheaval that the Civil War caused, this attempt was a failure. Thirty years later, however, a mi.ssionaiy sponsored a meeting for all interested in this faith: and the response was so en- thusiastic that imineiliate arrargemeiits were made for .services in All Saint ' Alission. Later oo, land was Page T h i ) t y - t ir o m mum purchased and after a successful Build the Church campaign, the building was completed in 1906. This year the church will observe its fiftieth anniversary. The organization of the Murray Universalist parish took place in 1875. Union Hall, the birthplace ot seveial denominations, was used for six months by The Universalists until the Murray Chapel was com- pleted. In 1881 this organization was officially incor- porated as the Murray Universalist Society in honor of Rev. John Murray, the founder of Universalism in the United States. In 1883 part of the parish which had originally belonged to Saint Mary ' s of North Attleboro was or- ganized by Bishop Hendricken as St. John ' s parish. Since Saint Mary ' s had been moved from Attleboro Falls to North Attleboro, the Attleboro parishioners found attendance there e.xtremely difficult. Thus a church was built on Noith Mail Street and used until 1931 when it burned to the ground. The Bates Theatre furnished a place for services until the nevv church, then in the proce.ss of construction, was finished. The Baptist Church on South Main Street has been one of the outstanding evangelical church in Attleboro. Its Christian Kiidcavoi- Society has been designated as one of the best in the slate. Religious beliefs determine the manner in which a country develops. What a different land this would be if we worshipped our ancestors and burned incense betore sleepy-eyed statues ol Buddha! What a different land this woul l be it we bowed five times to- ward Mecca while long-robed priests cliaiiteil, There is no God but Alia! As a shii) ' s compass iuid ' s a vessel, so has Christianity shaped tlie course of civi- lization and the nations of the Western W orld. For many years the teachings of Christ liave inspired people of every race. Magnificent cathedrals and beautiful churches stand as monuments to those who have followed the Christ, and that is the reason that here in Attleboro we have churches of all denominations with doors for- ever open and clergymen forever aA ' ailaljle to minister to the spiritual needs ol their people. Because of this heritage we strive to-day as the knights of King Ar- thur ' s Round Table of old to: Follow the Christ, the King, live pure, speak true, right wrong, follow the King— — Mary McBurneij 1 The term sportsmanship is often understood to pertain to the spectacular and unusual, but it is more than that; it is the little things done everyday which make a sportsman. Such trivial things as being able to warm the bench without grumbling, helping an opponent who has fallen, giving a teammate one ' s glove if it is better than his own, and willingly being a small cog in the team rather than wantirg to be the whole show — these qualities make a spcntsman. Such a conception of sportsmanship is fairly re- cent. Only about fifty years ago, when the rivalry be- tween Attleboro and North was not only keen but bitter, a victory of one town over the other was always followed by an invasion of the defeated community by the rabid supporters of the winner. The inhabitants never failed to challenge the intruders, and, in th( melee that occurred, black eyes and bloody noses were liber- ally distributed. Down through the years, however, a great change has taken place in the attitude of players and spec- tators alike. No longer do umpires and referees have to beware the ire of the crowd. No longer do players deliberately cut one another with their spikes. Now both sides observe the rules at all times. The opposi- tion is cheered as well as je( red, and players and spec- tators each take wins and losses as sportsmen. Thus today, ahhough the competition is keen, the watchword is not revenge but sportsmanshij). As tar as the history of sports is concerned, Attle- boro has followed the well-worn jiattern. v have had participants in virtually every conceivable sport. There have been scores ol teams, l)oth semi-pioiessional and high school — good, bad, and indifferent. Some have risen to great neights, only to fall and disintegrate with the coming ot younger, more progr: ssive rivals. Tnat, in a nutshell, applies to the development of base- ball, football, and basketball. The latter sport has risen rapidly in this locale to become th( major wiTiter sport. Incidentally, with the graduation of this class goes one of the greatest Attleboro High Scnool basket- ball teams yet! It you should ask anyone whf) has followed athletics in Attleboro for the past f( w decades what has been the greatet sporting event of all time locally, I ' ll P aye T h i) ty -three guarantoo that nine out of every ten would reply The Little World Series. That name causes every live- blooded baseball fan in this city to fly mentally to Brady ' s Hill, just north of the Woodlawn Cemetery, and, by the magic means called memory, to remove the houses, the roads, and the hayfields from that hill and replace them with the diamond, the field, the fenc. , the bleachers, the crowd, the illustrious figures of major league baseball, and, above all, the enthusiasm and excitement created by the eagerness so prevalent in Attleboro to beat North. It was that desire to beat North, and the opposing desire to trim Attleboro, that brought on the Little World Series. As Attleboro was short-handed in 1916, two profe-ssional players were imported to bolster the team. The next 3 ' ear North Attleboro retaliated by doing the same. Alter the World War, the series hit its stride. In 1919 and 1920 both communities had teams replete with such stars as Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson, Gro ver Cleveland Alexander, Rabbit ] laranville and a score of others who will live in the memorj oi every fan. Not alone great men of that era, but some of the gieatest players of all time participated in the Little World Series. They didn ' t play lor peanuts by any incans. To pitch one game in 1920 Alexander was nff. icil sT.lO! The other plaj ' ers W(mc paid s ' 45o caeli. i;x];ci s( . were, on the average, nut iliat liiiih, -i 1 they were so great that the receipts did n i ; ' m , i . xpciiditures, even though it was not unusual t lia . a emwd oi 8,000, 9,0CO, or 10,000 persons att, iuliii-i tli. lianics. The difference was paid by the hig thnn ' who ran the Attleboro end of the Little World Series— Bill Saait, Oscar Wolfenden, and Harold Sweet. In 1921 came the lule limiting each town to one league each in choosing players, and the resul ting dis- pute prevented any contests in that year and in 1922. In 1923 the rivalry resumed, but the one-league rule killed interest in the games and the small crowds made it impo.ssible to continue. So ended the Little World Series. Baseball since then has been somewhat of an anti- climax. The only events worthy of notice are the entrance of Attleboro into the short-lived New England League in 1928 and the more recent formation of a Softball league. While baseball in Attleboro is on the downgrade, football has been rising. Attleboro was well repie- sented for several years l)y the Jewelry City team, but now that sport is handicapi:ed by the division ol interest caused by the existence of several teams. It has fallen to the lot of the high school to be the leader of sports in recent years, and the school has responded excellently with several fir.e teams in three sports. I could continue to give you more detailed in- cidents about the ]ii tuiy ol athletics in Attleboro, but that would interest only the (!evoted partisans of sports. Yet, there is a comnimi hoiid hetween laymen and sports fans; that is the recogintion of the fact that, beside- teaching good sportsmanship, athletics help to develop tidi:g bodies and alert minds. — Herbert Moore m fifits Because of our very efficient fire department. Attleboro has been spared great lo.sses, but, at the same time, this city has had some really destructive and spectacular fires. Since we have had so few large fires in recent years, it should be interesting to recall some of the more disasterous ones. It would be almost impo.ssible to reminisce at all without thinking of the terrible conflagration of May 18, 1898, which started in the Bates and Bacon Watch Case Company. Before it was controlled, it had roared through all the factory district around Union Street. At its height, it developed such an intense heat that a fireproof vault in the Bates and Bacon Building, con- taining two hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of g(jld, folded up like tinfoil. The damage caused by this disaster was trememdous; the value of the factory buildings, houses, bares and small shops destroyed came to more than ore million dollars, and several thousand men were thrown out of work. Since there was so much gold in the ruined factories, soldiers guarded them, while martial law was declared through- out the city. Naturally, the ruins Mere an awesome spectacle since they co -ei ' ed such a large area, so the trolley cars of the Interstate Transit Corporation carried sixteen thousand sigh-seers to the plac( Page T It i r ( y -f o u t One of Attlcboio ' s fires was .started in a curious way: on January 31, 1912, an automobile, parked with the motor running and with the gears in neutral, suddenly backed into a store in the Bates Block. The gasoline tank burst open, and the gasoline ignited by sparks from friction. With the gasoline acting as a step-ladder, fire quickly shot up into the store. Fire- men were summoned immediately, but the blaze resisted all efforts to confine it to one or two stores. It roared up and around, very soon bursting into the old Bates Opera House. In an amazingly short time the Opera House was a mass of flame and smoke forcing out the firemen who were trying to fight the fire from the inside. At that time, we almost lost our present fire chief. He was in the aisle of the Opera House, and, by dashing forward desperately, he just missed being pinned beneath the falling chandelier. As it was, the arms of it ripped his coat. After the fire had reached the roof, the sight became more and more startling, for as sections of the roof caved in, there were volcanic bursts of smoke, flame and sparks. There was little that firemen could do then besides preventing the spread of the blaze to other buildings, which they did effectively, but the Bates Block was gutted completely, with only the brick walls left. This destruction amounted to a total loss of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The second largest conflagration was the one of December 12, 1917. At twelve forty-five in the morn- ing, alarm box six was pulled when flames were seen shooting up in Ashley ' s Drug Store, then on the corner now occupied by the First National Bank. The fire, coming from the basement ol the store, had not made too much headway when it was discovered, but the blaze mushroomed through the Horton Block as firemen came on the scene, as it began to spread rapidly through the neighboring buildings. At that time, Mayor Harold Sweet, Fire Chief Packard, and Ex-chief Sweeney .sensed that outside assistance was necessary, and called North Attleboro, Taunton, Providence, Pawtucket, and Central Falls. Help began to arrive in a very few minutes. Soon, fire-fighting equipment arrived by railroad. In the mantime, the heat be- came intense as the fire worked its way through the whole of the Horton Block and through the Pierce and Sanford Blocks. Every plate glass window on Park Street, opposite the fire, was broken by heat; street light poles were burned like matches. All the build- ings from Bank Street to North Main Street, and on the other side of Railroad Avenue, were scorched. In fact the fire almost spread across the several streets be- cause of heat alone, there b?ing little wind. It would surely have jumped across to the Attlel)oro Savings and Loan Associatioai Jiuilding, except for a water curtain on that building. The small lunch room between the Pierce and Sanfdrd Blocks, in the center of the fire, escaped the flames, (Uily to be ci-ushed by falling walls. When the fire was finally ou), t.hree large blocks — the Horton, Pierce, and Sanloid— and a two and-a-half story building next to the Monroe Block were entirely destroyed. The total damage was three lumdred thousand dollars. This heavy lo. ' s was due partly to the fact that the fire occurred jus1 in the middle oi the Christmas season when the stores wcic heavily slocked. The efficiency of our fire department has been demonstrated twice within the last few years at fires that were extremely threatening, but which were managed so skillfully that all the onlookers were a- mazed. The first of these was the one which com- pletely destroyed the St. John ' s Roman Catholic Church in 1932. When firem ' n arrived, the building was a mass of flames. Since the structure was old and wooden, it burned lik ' cardboard. But the real danger was to the homes in the neighborhood, especial- ly to the apartment house next to the church. This dwelling caught fire several times, but each time the spread was quickly halted by the alert firemen. That the whole neighborhood did not catch fire, especially when the tall spire fell, is due entirely to the splendid training of the fire department. The other occasion on which the fii ' emen especially demonstrated their ability was in the spring of April, 1933, when the Smith-Dexter Block, on the corner of Bank and Park Streets, was burned. Here was a fire with a good head start, which would have baffled many fire departments. But with great alacrity, our firemen swarmed around the building and chopped holes in just the right places to diown the flames the soonest and with the least water. By fast work the fire was confined to eight stores, which were gutted. The second floor was almost untouched by the flame itself, although it cUd begin to burn some before the fire was controlled. While the city of Attleboro has a fire department that is really a paragon for speed and ( fficiency, the need for greater water protection was brought out by a big blaze in Charpentier ' s Lumber Yard on September 25, 1937. As stacked lumber burns rapidly, the fire had gained great headway when the Attleboro firemen arrived after the long run to South Attleboro. Then, when lines were attached to hydrants on the Massa- chusetts side, the streams ot wat( r could not reach the fire; so the firemen hurried into Pawtucket, on the Page T h i I t y - i r e other side of the lumber yard, and boosted the pressure Ironi hydrants there. In the meantime, firemen be- came more and more hampered by the huge crowd. Attracted by the great volumes of smoke, which were rolling up from the unhindered blaze, spectators at one time were estimated to be twenty thousand strong. With great difficulty, because of the crowds of people and the lack of water and pressure, the flames were finally subdued. So, through the years, while fii-es in Attlebcn-o have been becoming fewer and less serious, Att eboro ' s Fire Department has been building itself into a reliable body, overcoming the obstacles of lack of men and equipment. So, too, can other organizations — and you and I — mak( ourselves just as successful and praise- worthy, in the .same nianr.er of con. cientious work and careful planning. ly classmates, these are our last minutes as seniors of Attleboro High School. For four years we have followed one path, but shortly we shall find ourselves traveling devious highways; however, we shall have one tie that, will reach back through the years to this moment, binding the many paths into one. For, what we are to be, we are now becoming. We can- not ktiow what paths we will follow, but we do know that, no matter what each one of us becomes, this parting is the time of one of the greatest changes in our lives, so great that in these few iniiuiles we are taking the l)iggest step of ail in beconii ' iy wliat we ar to be. — Kllict I ' ierce Old houses are not mere buildino;-: tIk y ar a i art ol the history ' and romance of othi r iinidd-. Their worn structures are many times fount! still standing when the family line of their origiEal inhabitants has died out entirely. The.- e ancient hou.ses of ATtlclniio ha ; witne.- .- ed not only spectacular j ' ears in our histi:ry, hut also th growth of a community from small . tthinmt to a prosperous city, for we in Attlebom tmtunate in having near us se eral houses over twn hundn d A-ears old which have survived the ruin ( t c. ntui ii . Their sturdy architecture may be seen in many parts of the original town.ship of Attleboroiifrh, as in Oldtown, South Attleboro, North Attleboro, and what we now think of as the Citj of Attleboro itself. The olde.st house in this section, the lihodes house, stands near the Attleboro city line on I.inden Avenue in Oldtown. Its hand-hewn timbers, held together by wooden pegs, bear witne.ss to the fact that it is almost three hundred years old. In its well-kept yard the first blacksmith shop in this .section was put into operation. Having been more or less remodeled, this house bears little resemblance to the common con- ception of a historic landmark, but the basic archi- tectural lines remain the same. Let us leave Oldtown and proceed to Attleboro proper, or what is now known as Attleboro, here a white house on the north side of Pleasant Street previously drew attention becau.se of a gigantic elm tree in its yard, which, unfortunately, was blown down in the 1937 hurri- cane. Known as the Zenas Carpenter house, this was origirally a farm, t)i,ught niaey y( ar ago by Caleb Parmenter, Junior, a -oldi.- r ot the Hevolutionaiy War, and tradition tell n- that th re he once entertained the famous Rev.-rend (!( i igi ' W ' hitcfield, a eoi;t( niporary of John Wesley, licld a icliiiii -:i- i ' . ' in the yard of this same white Iidus,- which we may ■ today. Anotlii r I xample of a familiar old building is the Dagii ' tt-Ciajidall home on North Main Street, which many ot ii- pass day alter :lay without ever .stopping to think ol its age. This rambli ' g, yellow- house was of-ce a macsion ot Revolutionary days, the property of Abiathar Richardson, who fought at the battle of Bunker Hill. Being a public-.spirited gentle- man who was interested in the welfare of his town, he helped the cause of our common schools by conferring a legacy upon them at his death. ' e must remember that these old buildings are important not only for their histories, but for the tael that they were once the homes of the men who tinii.did til ' community and who fo.stercd its first jirowth. Numerous other hou.ses of .- ome of our first promir.ciit men arc .-till .-tanding. One of these is the Judge Leonard house, which may be seen near Old Colony Road and North Worcester Street. Judge Leonard, also known as Major Leonard of the ] Iilitia, gave up a title in England to come to America where he served as a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Attleboro until his death in 1716. His former home, the third floor of which was at one Page Thirty-six lilt mum time used as slave quarters, is an old rambling house whose stairway and outer doorway were held to be of such value that several years ago they were purchased and taken from the building. One of the best preserved of Attleboro ' s old homes is the Peter Thacher house on Thacher Street, interest- ing for several reasons; one of them being the fact that five young me i from that house went to the Revolution- ary War; and a more important reason being that, while it was built in 1774, it has been occupied by eight generations in direct line from the original owner. The Peck house on Elizabeth Street, now known as the D. A. R. House, holds our interest for the same reason, as the land on which it was originally built remained in the possession of one family over a period of two hundred and thirty years, the house being occupied by the family and its decendants for five generations. The majority of the houses toward which our attention has thus far been directed are both inhabited and well-preserved, but there are many others with interesting histories which are deserted, broken-down, and slowly falling into ruins. These old structures are rich in memories, but they hold for us a greater signifi- cance than do mere storehouses of history. How often we pass them by, without once stopping to notice the lovely doorways or the clean, straight lines of the basic structures! Instead, we .seen peeling paint, sagging floors, and broken windowpanes. Seldom do we think, when passing, of the wisdom and lore of the past which they can reveal. So, too, do we pass, as .seemingly insignificant, many of the finest things in life not stopping nor taking Lime to realize that the best does not always show on the IMYOf Rising slowly in the eastern sky, the glowing red sun turns all of nature ' s paradise into a picture radiating warmth and beauty. Slowly the panorama unfolds, bringing forth dense, impenetrable forests broken only by a few meadow lands sparsely dotted with Indian wigwams. In contrast to this thick vegetation is the bare bed of a river, identified by its w inding path. The intermingling of dark and light green foliage creates a .startling effect against the flaming, red sky and bright blue water. The stillness of this masterpiece of nature is broken only by the snapping of a twig under the foot of an occasional Indian scout, who, on the lookout for enemies, stands like a tall, young wood-god, his every surface, but may be hidden beneath unprepo.ssessing exteriors. Let us think of old houses as did Joyce Kilmer when he .said: Whenever I walk to Suffern along the Erie track I go by a poor old farmhouse with its shingles broken and black. I suppo.se I ' ve pas.sed it a hundred times, but I always stop for a minute And look at the hou.se, the tragic hou.se, the house with nobody in it. Now, a new hou.se standing empty, with .staring window and door, Looks idle, perhaps, and foolish, like a hat on its block in the store. But there ' s nothing mournful about it; it cannot be sad and lone For the lack ol .something within that it has never known. But a house that has done what a house should do, a house that has sheltered life. That has put its loving wooden arms around a man and his wife, A house that has echoed a baby ' s laugh and held up his stumbling feet, Is the saddest sight, when its left alone, that ever your eyes could meet. So whenever I go to Suffern along the Erie track I never go by the empty house without stopping and looking back. Yet it hurts me to look at the crumbling roof and the shutters fallen apart, For I can ' t help thinking the poor old hou.se is a house with a broken heart. —Olive Clark muscle tense and alert, while his right hand shades his eyes from the glaring of the sun. Such is the picture which history and imagination paint for us of the Attleborough as it was three hundred years ago. This peaceful land, however, was not to remain un- distubed for long; the first Pilgi-ims had already estab- lished a colony at Plymouth and were rapidly extending their civilization into the interior. Rehoboth was the first .settlement in this area and around the year 1660, the inhabitants of that town had become so numerous that they were beginning to feel the need for expansion; so it was that Captain Thomas Willet, well known for his abiUty to negotiate succe.s.sfully with the Indians, Page Thirty-seven purchased a tract of land from Wamsutta. This purchase included the present site of Attleboro, North Attleboro, Cumberland, Rhode Island, and part of rentham and Foxboro. This was known by the early settlers as the Rehoboth North Purchase. The deed obtained from Wamsutta would have one believe that the North P urchase was a part of Rehoboth. This, however, was not true for the settle- ment was meant to be an independent township from the veiy beginning. Because the country was so wild and the few early North Purcha.se .settlers were without protection from hostile forces,they were brought within the legal jurisdiction of Rehoboth and temporarily annexed. This vast, unci nHzed land, teeming with wild animals and Indians, appealed to the adventurous souls of the Pilgrims, for they migrated to the lands joining Rehoboth in large and small groups for thirty-three years. At the end of that time, the population of the new settlement was large enough to warrant its being incorporated into a township which was named Attle- borough after Attleborough, England; while the Bungay River w as named after the castle of the Earls of Bungay March castle. William Blackstone, seeking refuge from Gdvcrnor Winthrop ' s colony, which he found unbearable had come upon the Blacktsone River and, thinking it was an attractive place for a permanent abode, l)iiilt his home there. This first .settler, how ' ver, had arrived here ten years lx ' f(xre the colony of Rehoboth was begun. Mr. Black.- tone remained in .seclusion in this forest for many years; his library was extensiAc and he lived a life he loved with nature as his only companion. He followed this solitaiy life, not because of any hatred he bore toward mankind, but becau.se of his love for meditation and undi. ' turbed study. John Woodcock ' s Tavern, fortified as a garrison, was one of a chain of fortifications extending Irom Bo.ston to Providence on the Old Bay Road, one of the fir.- t to be laid out in this .-section. Picturesque, indeed, was this Old Bay Road with its narrow, .sand-colored surface winding for miles between tall, majestic trees whose branches, swaying with the wind, made an arch- way above the road forming a ceiling of green tapestry. The regularitj ' of the dense forest was broken only by an infrequent clearing, ha ' ing upon its premi.ses a rudeh- built hou.se or hut which served as the home for the earlj ' settlers. Because early travel by horse and stage was slow and tedious, travelers would often stop at Woodcock ' s for refreshments and exchange of horses. During the Indian War, this garrison was the favorite meeting place for .s()ldi(Ts, and frefjuently they would stay there indefinitely, making the wilderness around the tavern ring with their meriy songs and boisterous laughter. This garrison was later owned and operated by Colonel Hatch under the name of Hatch House. During his years of proprietorship, such famous men as AA ' ashington, Lafayette, John Quincy Adams, and Daniel Webster enjojTd the ho.spitality of this inn. In 1675 the quiet atmo.sphere of this peaceful dome.stic life of Attleboro was interrupted by Indian war cri( s, the screams of unjn-otected women and child- ren, and the firing of rifles. Th ' Indians, having failed in open warfare, disbanded into small groups; and stealing noiselessly through the forests, would lurk b( - iiind trees, waiting for an opportunity to de.stroy their prey. The sparsely populated and unprotected town of Attleboro was in corstant danger of these surprise attacks. One of John Woodcock ' s sons was thus attacked and killed while working in his father ' s corn- field. Cutting ofT his head, the Indians placed it upon a pole well within sight of the tavern to frighten the other members of his family. The six soldiers that had been sent from Plymouth Colony to protect the garrison had been withdrawn for t ' mporary .service else- where at the time of the attack. Pierce ' s Fight is one of the most gruesome and horrible battles iotight during the Indian War. Captain Pierce and his band of folhiweis came at the edge of the forest, upon a group of four or five lame Indians who led the ursuspecting whites into a trap, where they found themselves confronted with a large group of able Indiai:s. Pierce, ho ever, aware of his lack of men, gave the command to pursue. After the Indians had retreated a short distance. Captain Pierce, finding himself entirely surrounded by Indians, dispatched a messenger for help. Pierce ' s small army, forming a circle, fought bravely for two hours, when at last their resistence broke and the Indians were nctorious. For a short time after the Indian War, red-skins remained here, but soon they disappeared from this section altogether. Thus we .see how the vast unci ' ilized land of Attleborough of three hundred years ago has grown and prospered with the times. The earl} ' settlers .struggled to overcome the hardships that confronted them in a den.-;e wilderness. The success of Attleboro is due largely to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the early and an unwavering faith in G{jd, they gave us the foundation upon which we have built Attleboro, one of the most ambitious, prosperous and .successful young cities in the Ea.st. — Marjorie Holt Page T h i r t y - e i g h t -m mum mm FRESHMAN YEAR On a certain warm September day in 1936, a larp;e group of moon-eyed youngsters climbed the st( ps to the doors of Attleboro High School, an institution from which they desired an education and a preparation for life ' s work. They noisily settled down in the assembly hall to be welcomed by another newcomer, Ml. PhiUp L. Garland. This group was the first to enjoy four years of high school with Mr. Garland as principal, and they soon discovered they had a friendly director to aid them in their progress. Oar existence was first officially proclaimed in the Blue Owl by Betty Wells ' able reporting which has continued for four years. Later in the year the class elected its first officers: Paul Cunningham, president; James Lee, vice-presi- dent; Edward Fonger, secretary; and Gerard Boucher, treasurer. Many freshman voices contributed to the success of the operetta Pinafore presented by the Glee Club. In April Mr. Coding sponsored a trip to New York on the Comet. Many freshmen took advantage of this excursion, and enjoyed the one-day tour of New York City. The Freshman social was held after the diligent preparation of the class officers and freshman student council members. After a pleasant introductory year, we all looked forward to our ventures as Sophomores. SOPHOMORE YEAR At the beginning of the year the following mem- bers of our class were appointed to positions on the Blue Owl staff: David Rounseville, Olive Clark, James Lee, Elliot Pierce, Charles Shields, Marjorie Hinds, and Charles Cooper. The class officers, elected after a close .battle for each position, were: David Rounseville, president; Charles Markman, vice-president; Thomas O ' Brien, secretary; Gerard Boucher, treasurer. The Sophomore social, a success, was held under the direction of a committee composed of the class officers and Dale Osterberg, Donald Antaya, Helen Goddard, Betty Wells, Charles Shields, Paul Cun- ningham, and Ray Maynard. The Sophomore class was unusually well repre- sented in the field of sports. Mercier, Madden, Webb, Klebes, Manchester and Mellor helped warm the bench during football games. Markman, Madden, Lee, Bou- cher, Rounseville and Martineau won many games as the A. H. S. seconds in basketball. Madden, Baris, Lee, Mercier and Boucher participated in baseball. Having completed our Sophomore year, we pre- pared to become Juniors, hoping that our last two 5 ' ears would be as successful as our first two. JLNIOR YEAR Our first duties as Juniors were to elect officers to guide us through the year. After the hectic and fun- making political rally, wc chose as our officers: David Rouseville, president; Charles Markman, vice-presi- dent; Gerard Boucher, treasurer; and Marjorie Holt, secretary. Marjorie Holt, Herbert Moore and Stanley Hol- brook represented the class in the Debating Club. In sports the class of 40 played an obvious part. Among those to participate were: Red Madden, Shorty Lee, Charlie Markman, and Gerard Boucher. The basketball team was comprised of only one senior, the rest being juniors. The juniors also made their presence known in other sports, namely, baseball and football. The Ring Committee chose an attractive ring which was acceptable to the taste of the entire class. The Junior Dance was held in the gym on May 5. Due to the untiring efforts of the officers, and their committee, the dance was a financial success. Realizing that our junior year was completed and that we were now seniors, we looked forward to our last year with enthusiasm. SENIOR YEAR Being seniors, we started the year full of ccmfidence, doubting whether any task placed before us could not be performed. Setting homework aside, we antici- pated the many events to come. Our officers for the year were unanimously elected by the class. Those elected were: David Rounseville, president; Chaxles Markman, vice-president; Gerard Boucher, treasurer; and Marjorie Holt, secretary. The Senior Social was a success due to the efforts made by David Rounseville and his committee. The Senior Play was put on November 17, and it was a real hit! Charles Cooper, who had the leading role in the farce, The Dutch Detective, had the large audience in stitches most of the time. Tho.se Page Thirty-nine m mum Inking part were: Calista Elliot, Priscilla Brown, i;ili()t Piorcc, Shirley Uhlig, Bob Pettitt, and Estclle Cameron. During the winter vacation the Senior Prom was held, and it wa.s the first occasion when the Senior boys could show off their new sport coats. The basketball team had a A-ery succe.ssful season, and it was only a few points that kept us from becoming State Champions. Elliot Pierce and Olive Clark, respect iv. ly, ( arned the honors of being ' aledictorian and Salulatorian. The class is proud of the selection of these two students who attained the highest honors by their excellent scholastic ratings The honor of composing the class song goes to •■Bob Pettitt. After four years of cea.seh ' ss effort, we succeeded in reaching our goal. AVith happy hearts we all know that, ■■ ' hat we are to be, we are now becoming.

The team lost three and won three anies. Five other games were scheduled, but because of unexpected reasons it was necessary to cancel them. As usual, Foxboro was Attleboro ' s best opponent, having been victorious in both games. However, the score in most of the games was quite clo.se, and our opponents found that Attleboro had .some tall girls who s( em( d to know how to put the ball in the basket. As none of the basketball players are graduating this y( ar, the coaches are anticipating a very fine team next year. There was much interest th s spring in girls ' tennis which was under the coaching of Miss Laura Povey. As many as fifty girls signed up and played in inter- class match( ' riicic were two practice matches with outside teams lor the varsity players. Fi( Id hockey started off with a grand beginning this yoixr under the coaching of Miss Dorothy Covell and Miss Eleanor Fillmore. This was the first season that field hockey, which was spon.sored by the Tri-Y Clul), had been played in A. H. S. There was much enthusiasm among th ' girls concerning this game. It was played in the spring as well as in the fall at General Plate Field. Preparation was made for a team to play outside schools next fall. We take this opportunity to wish this new sport in Attleboro High School a lo of success! I ' (I tje F 1 f t u -t w o — Courtesy of Pawtucket Times Front Row — O. Johnson, P. Pinocci, O. Ockert, C.

Richards Football Again fielding one of its traditionally light foot- ball teams, a game Attleboro High School squad won five of its ten scheduled games during the past season The first game was probably the outstanding victory of the season. This game was played against the Alumni. Financially, it proved to be a great success, proving that the public likes the idea of playing night games. This game also .served its purpose in giving Coach Tozier a chance to look over some of his material for the season. Meeting its first high school opponent, the week following the Alumni game, an Attleboro team which was out-weighed sometimes twenty or thirty pounds a man was beaten by a strong Winthrop eleven. The Blue and White played good football to upset a highly favored Durfee team. The day was very hot, and the warm weather .seemed more to Attleboro ' s liking that it did to the heavier Fall River boys. In a game which produced some of the finest foot- ball seen in Bristol County in many years, an Attleboro High School team lost by two points to a very fa.st Coyle squad. In the opinion of many, Coyle was far superior to North Attleboro, and credit should be given to Attleboro for the fine showing that the team made. The team won by its largest margin when it defeated a fighting Somerville Trade School eleven. This game showed the fans many fine runs by backs of both teams. The game with Plymouth finally showed the Attleboro line to its best advantage. Along with this hard blocking and charging of the line, the backs blocked Page F i f t y - t fi ree m lAIlLtlALt- splciulidly antl it all added up to a fine win for Coach Toziei ' s eleven. In what was expected to be more or less of a breather before the Thanksgiving Day game, Attleboro niet a A ' alpolc team which gave the local fans, along with the team, a few uneasj ' moments. With some fine hard-charging backs, who incidentally will be back next year, Walpole threatened constantly and was finallj overcome in a wild scoring game by one touchdown. After much juggling of his liiic-iip, Coach Tozier found what he hoped to he tin ' coinhiiiat ion to defeat our Turkey Day .ivais, Xorlli Attleboro. After a scoreless fiist half, during whicli Attlel)()ro was continuously i)i( ' ssiiig, North finally found its vaunted passing att.ack clicking and they went over for what piovcd to he the first and only touchdown of tlie day. The Blue and White again thn-alened during the second half, but were i-epnlscd each lime by the heavy North Attleboro line. Basketba An Attleboro first s(]uad compo.sed largely of Seniors enjoyed one of the most succe. sful ba.sketball seasons in the history of the school during the past winter. Starting the season by defeating a highly rated Brockton five, the team continued on its winning way losing only to North Quincy and a strong New Bedford ' ocational quintet. The two crushing defeats pinned on North Attle- boro were two of the highlights of the season. The.se defeats atoned in some way lor the football lo. s. Probably two of the most exciting games during the season were the contests with Coyle High and Taunton High, which were both held in Taunton. These two games definit  ]y proved Attleboro to be a top ranking team in the eyes of the Boston Sports Writers. Easily the outstanding game of the year was the long-awaited battle with New Bedford High. Be- cau.«e New Bedlord had beaten a ' ocational team by twenty-five points which had defeated Attleboro, the Blue and White entered the game a decided underdog. With New Bedford bothered hy Attleljoro ' s tight defen. ' e, Attleboro rushed into an early lead which New Bedfoid failed to overcome, although the final period produced some of tlie finest basketball ever . een in the local gjmi. Attleboro ' s tremendous sp( ed which caused New Bedford to foul, was the deciding factor in the outcome. TECH TOURNAMENT Attleboro realized an ambition which had begun when a former A. H. S. ba-kctball team had been in- invited to the Tech Tourney in Boston seveial years ago. Because of its brilliant season, the Attleboro Five was chosen with New Bedford to represent Bristol County in the annual Tourney. Its first opponent was a highly rated Newton club which had lost one game during its season. With a large home crowd present, the Attleboro team proved its sup riority over the big Newton five. The fine rebound work of the Attleboro (juintet prov ' (l to be the deciding factor of the game. On the following night, the Blue and White met the toam that had sprung the upset of the tournament by defeating Chelsea. Haverhill had been the last choice for the tourney by Henry McCarthy. The first half in which Attleboro was held to five points is history now to everyone. During the .second half the team got hot and missed tying the score by two points. Attleboro scored two baskets with but forty-six .seconds to play and had everyone in the Tech Hangar on his feet yelling regardless of whether he was for or against the Blue and White. Along with having an unu.sually .successful season, the Attleboro team can boast of having shatt ' red all previous attendance records made at the A. H. S. Gym. The loyal crowd which was with the team throughout the regular season made a large following at both games in Tech. By winning many of its games the hard way, in the last few minutes, the Blue and White caused many a home town rooter ' s heart to miss a few beats during the band Too much cr( dit cannot be given to th( great :1 of followers that treked out of town througlumt Page Fifty-four -w mmii the season to cheer Attleboro on to many a victory. Defeat did not stop this loyal group of supporters, for in the game following Attl( boro ' s loss to New Bed- ford Vocational, they came out in just as great numbers as before. One of the little known things about the Attleboro schedule is that Coach Tozier always consults the team before he makes out the list of opponents, and in this manner the boys on the team decide their schedule. It is to their cicdit tiiat the records of the Attleboro basketball t( ams in the last few years .show that they have undertaken an ambitious [jiogram. It is also rumored that the boys of next ycai ' s team have asked to continue this schedule instead of easing up any for next season. Baseball At this writing the Attleboro baseball team is con- tinuing its winning ways of last .season by sweepin g its first five games of the season. Opening its season with a fine win over Mansfield the Blue and White showed punch in many unexpected places and bids fair to become a very good team. Showing an unexpected ability to hit in the pinches which hm overcome some ragged infield play, Attleboro has won four clo.se games with New Bedford, New Bedford Vocational, Tauntoa, and Brockton. The team is showing great spirit and they are now aiming for a bid to the State Championships held at Fenway Park in Boston. Track Although not much is heard about the track team, under Coach Ray Cooney ' s capable handling, the team usually wins its share of meets. Up to this writing the squad has been defeated by a strong Dean Academy team, and in its last meet it defeated Canton by some forty odd points. Although left without some of its stars of last year, the squad has rounded into shape very fa.st and much is expected of it in its last two meets of the year. w mum Boys ' Basketball I ii t ( ' . .Maikman, C.

When the ball rises gracefully and drops over the goal posts, and the score is 7 to 0 in your favor — well, it ' s hard to express the feeling in words. You forget, for a moment, the hard line plunges and interrupted runs that made the first six points possible. In the gam.e of life, it is often the first six points, the first six or sixty dollars earned and saved, that count. If you work straight toward your goal, consistent gains eventually bring victory whether it is in winning a football game or in attain- ing success in life. By sacrificing unimportant things now and by forming the habit of saving while you are young, you may enjoy in later life many of the pleasures and comforts that result from achieving financial independence.

The purpose of this program is to give the student a liberal and cultural education and a vocational competence which fits him to enter some specific tj ' pe of useful employment. College of Business Administration Offers a college program with broad and thorough training in the principles of business with specialization in Accounting, Journalism, Banking and Finance, Public Administration, Industrial Administration or Marketing and advertising. Instruction is through lectures, solution of business problems, class discussions, motion pictures and talks by business men. College of Engineering Provides complete college programs in Engineering with professional courses in the fields of Civil, Mechanical (with Diesel, Aeronautical, and Air Conditioning options), Electrical, Chemical, Industrial Engineering ' , and Engineering Administration. Ceneral engineering courses are pursued during the freshman year; thus the student need not make a final decision as to the branch of engineering in which he wishes to specialize until the beginning of the sophomore year. Co-operative Plan The Co-operative Plan, which is available to upperclassmen in all courses, provides for a combination of practical industrial experience with classroom instruction. Under this plan the student is able to earn a portion of his school expenses as well as to make business contacts which prove valuable in later years.
