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.

THE HUTTLESTONIAN The Prophecy of the Class of 1929 L AST evening while glancing at the front page of a local newspaper, the following headlines attracted my eyes: “Doris Diggle, Follies Star, in Automobile Accident.” Wondering if this could be the same Doris with whom I used to go to school, I started for the trial next morning, bright and early. As I was turning a cornepl bumped into a young lady and knocked her down. Picking her up I saw that he was Marion Shurtleff. I almost dropped her again in my surprise. After a little conversation, from which I found out she was book reviewer for “The Ladies Home Journal,” I bade her good-bye. Walking down the street in a very thoughtful mood I suddenly heard my name called. I looked up and whom should I see but “Fil” Silveria, a famous surgeon in the I Mendem Hospital. He was in a hurry to reach a patient so I very regretfully said a farewell to him also. “Look out there, young man,” I screamed as some gentlemen in a naval officer’s uniform almost walked into an automobile. Well, I’ll be—; sure enough it was “Buddy” Wood, Captain of the Lawson- Brown Steamship Company. He was also headed for the court and so we walked to the trial together. On the way he told me about some other classmates of that mem¬ orable class of ’29. “Al” Aston, he said, was the jazz leader of the day. His records and vitaphone productions were heard everywhere. His latest song hit was “In My Mattapoisett Home.” “Bill” Andrew was an optician. His motto, “The Shorter the Dress the Stronger the Lens,” was a great favorite and one might hear it anywhere. Isabel Braley, besides being a dancing instructor was the manager of the Overland and Whippet Sales Company. “She ' s doing a great business too,” he said. Jean Carpenter, Captain Wood went on to say, was the editor of a newspaper called the “Mattapoisett Sea Sickness.” One glance at it while on the water and you were sick for a month! 25
