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.

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 HUTTLESTONI AN The main governing body, the Board of Control, consists of five members: George Stetson, Johnny Freitas , David Entin, Frank Machado, Ray Mitchell. In order to assure a larger attendance of pupils at the school dances, the Student Council sponsored a dancing class taught by Professor Kavenaugh of New Bedford. Several afternoon dancing parties were held and the Senior dance profited by the class. During the Senior year the class was separated into Rooms 4 and 5 under the direction of Mrs. Dodge and Miss Siebert. At the Indoor State Meet, Machado won the 300 yard dash, Cherry came in second in the broad jump, and Mitchell gained second place in the high jump. At a class meeting in the latter part of March, the staff of “The Huttlestonian” appointed David Entin, with Marion Whiting as an as¬ sistant, to write the class prophecy, and the undersigned to write the class history.
