Fairhaven High School - Huttlestonian Yearbook (Fairhaven, MA)

THE YEAR BOOK — 1926 It was during this year that the Student Council, School Sav¬ ing’s Bank, Literary Club, and Traffic Squad were organized. Junior Day, an event initiated by our class was certainly a success. We did feel big marching into the auditorium with our green and gold ribbons. Can we forget that condescending gaze fixed upon us by the Seniors? This year seems to have been short, sweet, and successful. Our play “The Road to Yesterday” certainly brought out the fact that in future years some of the seniors will out-shine Valentino and Mary Pickford if they choose to do so. There have been several honors conferred on members of the class in 1926. James O’Leary was sent to the convention at Hol¬ yoke as representative from the School Council. “Cuffy” Tun- stall was appointed Captain of the Traffic Squad. “Milly” Park¬ inson and Margaret Manghan were elected officers of the “Liter¬ ary Club.” While speaking of the latter, a most enjoyable Christ¬ mas party was given by the club. A resume of the 1925-1926 athletic schedule shows us that the boys lost only one football game, came off with flying colors in three out of four inter-scholastic track meets, and won eight out of thirteen basketball games. And that banquet! Where are the words that can express the fun? We take a great deal of pride in the fact that our class is the first in the history of the school to have a successful “Year Book”. Ask the staff and Miss Siebert about the fun of editing it! ! ! We came, we conquered, and now we must depart. We are proud of our wonderful High School, and we are well aware of the fact that very few students in any part of the country have had the advantages with which we have been blessed — the aid of an efficient faculty and beautiful and inspiring surroundings in which to work. We are glad to have spent four happy years within your walls, dear Fairhaven High, and we linger upon the thoughts of fare¬ well. As we go our separate ways, it is with the feeling it will be the spirit of Fairhaven High that will help us to “carry on”. 1101

THE YEAR BOOK — 1926 THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1926 r T r HE day which at this time four years ago was so far in the • future has arrived at last. With what joy and hard work these four years have been filled! Although not organized socially as a class during our Fresh¬ man year, we progressed as well as any “Freshies” possibly could in our studies and athletics. In October the upperclass members of the G. A. A. initiated the girls. No one was sorry when they had finished their stunts! In a theme contest conducted for High School pupils by The Flexible Shoe Store of New Bedford, Muriel Chamberlain and Louise Lopes won prizes. It was during this year that “The Huttlestonian” which has proven such a success was started. We are the first class to have had a school magazine for four years. In the early part of September, 1923, we elected the follow¬ ing officers: President .DOROTHEA PAULL Secretary .Margaret Manghan Treasurer .WALTER SPOONER This year the class established a splendid record in athletics. We had members on the varsity football and varsity basketball teams, and in the orchestra. Our honor roll was surely a credit to our class. Our initiation into High School socials was in the form of a Valentine party. It was during the summer of this year that we lost Lydia Shurtleff, one of the noblest members of our class. The Junior year was the happiest of our High School career. Champions like “Pat” Sullivan, “Cuffy” Tunstall, and Paul Cieurzo enabled our football team to sweep all opponents before them, and win for us the Bristol County Championship. The girls, too, did well in athletics taking first place in the inter-state track meet. As Walter Spooner left school in the fall, it was necessary to elect a new treasurer. Beulah Champegny was chosen to fill his place: At the same time, James O’Leary was elected to the office of Vice-President.
