THE HUTTLESTON I AN The first four of that group helped a great deal to win the Bristol County Championship in Baseball. The Literary Club elected three Juniors for its officers: President, Doris Diggle Secretary , Ruth Bedford Treasurer, Marjorie McCracken Realizing that one year is hardly sufficient time in which to raise money for all Senior class expenses, the class of 1929 sponsored a St. Patrick’s dance in the gym. It was successful both financially and other¬ wise. It will, no doubt, become the custom to hold a Junior dance each year. The Juniors had quite a say in the New Hampshire track meet. Ray Mitchell won the high jump. Walter Cherry tied for the pole vault, and won the third place for broad jumping. Frank Machado was on the winning relay team. The Boston indoor and outdoor meets were won by Fairhaven with no little assistance from the Juniors. When the Bristol County Track Meet was held, Machado was a member of the State record-break¬ ing relay team, and Cherry and Whitworth broke the pole-vault record. Cherry also tied with Aiken for honors in the running broad jump. A comparatively large number of Junior girls won numerals and letters for basketball, hockey, and track. In February seven Juniors were initiated into the newly formed Honor Society; Doris Diggle, Gladys Hebden, Mildred Hoxie, Ellen Meal, Mildred Morse, Raymond Mitchell and Helen Murley. The class was separated in Rooms 9 and 11 under the supervision of Miss Griswold and Miss Russell. The officers of the class were: President, Frank Velho Vice President, Buddy Wood Secretary, Ray Mitchell Treasurer, David Entin When service pins and certificates were given out, the Juniors took their share. Some girls must have typewriting certificates to burn! Junior day was celebrated according to custom by each member wearing the class colors, red and gold. 20

THE HUTTLESTONI AN In September the class returned—now Sophomores. Of the goodly number from Mattapoisett, Henry Pease and Albert Aston showed signs of becoming prominent. Walter Cherry, who entered high school a year before the class of 1929, left during his Freshman year, but returned to join a good class. The Sophomore year the class was separated into Rooms 1 7 and 6 which were under the direction of Miss Tyler and Miss Hcald, who later became Dean of Girls. When elections were held, it was found that Ray Mitchell was to call the meeting to order; Marion Whiting to fill Ray ' s shoes in his absence, or sit on the shelf in his presence; Doris Diggle to record the meetings; and Filbert Silveria to keep the money bags, when there was money to put in them. Ray Mitchell ousted Howard Dutton from his position as assistant advertising manager and was the only Sophomore on the staff of “The Huttlestonian.” Football called out Wood, Entin, Freitas and Hammond. Need¬ less to say, Coach Borah could see future champs in this group. The girls also made a good showing in athletics. Five were members of the varsity hockey squad; Marion Whiting, Marjorie McCracken, Marjorie Winterbottom, Alice O’Leary and Gladys Hebden. The Sophomore debating team won a debate with the N. B. H. S. Junior Debating Society. The subject was the cancelation of foreign war debts and Sophie Such, Mildred Morse, Frank Sheard and Raymond Mitchell (as alternate) successfully upheld their stand. The F. H. S. won by a vote of two to one. The F. H. S. won fourth place in the New Hampshire meet and Sophomores participated. The following September saw the class reassembled again, now slightly smaller than before. The greater part of “The Huttlestonian” staff was made up of Juniors. Ray Mitchell, Ruth Bedford, and Sophie Such held the more important positions, and seven other Juniors helped to complete the staff. Six Juniors were members of the football team which won the Bristol County Championship: Entin, Velho, Freitas, Pease, Machado and Garcia. 19

THE HUTTLESTONI AN At the graduation ceremony of the class of 1927-28, Ray Mitchell was presented with the Harvard Club award for scholarship, a book entitled “The Life of Dean Briggs.” At last, the Senior year -- a year of hard work for all! After the last election of officers the following students were revealed as the winners: President, Ray Mitchell Vice President, Buddy Wood Secretary, Dave Entin Treasurer, Johnny Freitas Almost at the beginning of the Senior year two members left the class. Ronald Horne left F. H. S. and went to Florida. Harold Sylvada left to take a position in the business world. March 8, the class presented ‘‘The Romantic Age” with the fol¬ lowing cast: Mrs. Knowle . Charlotte Terhunc Melisande (her daughter) . Ruth Bedford Jane (her niece) . Marion Whiting Mr. Knowle . Filbert Silveira Bobby . Albert Aston Gervase Mallory . David Entin Ern . Walter Cherry Master Susan . Howard Dutton Alice . Doris Diggle Walter Cherry as a half-witted country boy added a great deal of humor to the play, and ”A1” Aston’s moustache nearly caused a riot. During rehearsals Doris Diggle, as maid, had a very hard time trying to keep sandwiches, crackers, et cetera for the third act: usually there was nothing left after the second act! , Marion Milhench was property manager, Jane Stetson costume manager: Betty Haskins and Helen Murley were prompters. No less important was our director Miss Margaret Siebert. To her, is due the success of the play. The entire cast received much applause from the large audience that saw the play. 21
