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

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 The editor-in-chief of “The Huttlestonian and the captain of the traffic squad during the senior year were one and the same person—Ray Mitchell. When anybody wants to start anything they begin by making Ray Mitchell president! Catherine Owen, from out West was a newcomer, and contributed a very humorous article, to “The Huttlestonian” about “Fairhaven.” She remained here only a few months, however. Sheard and Garcia also dropped out of the class. There are now but sixty-four members in the class of 1929. At one time there were nearly a hundred. Hammond captained the foot-ball team and seven other Seniors did a great deal in defeating every team except Vocational, from over the river, and Taunton. Captain Velho, with Entin, Freitas, Cherry, and Pease made a fine showing during the basketball season. The girls’ Senior hockey team, captained by Alice O’Leary and managed by Helen Murley, won the championship and was presented with the F. H. S. hockey emblem. The G. A. A. elected Alice O’Leary, President and Jane Stetson, Treasurer. Betty Haskins, a newcomer from New Bedford, and Rose Freeman were initiated into the Honor Society at the annual initiation ceremony. The following officers conducted the ceremony: President, Helen Murley Vice President, Gladys Hebden Secretary, Ellen Meal Treasurer, Mildred Morse Doris Diggle was reelected President of the Literary Club and Marion Whiting lead the Student Council. David Entin was elected to the Presidency of the B. A. A., and Walter Perry, Treasurer. The Varsity Club was formed thru’ the efforts of Coach Wells. Its purpose is the fostering of higher standards of spirit among the members of the school. Its Senior officers are: Vice-President, Frank Velho Treasurer, Walter Perry ♦ 22
