We, the class of 1941, do hereby set aside this page in our year book in recognition of all the work Miss Mabel G. Hoyle has done for us. We wish to show our appreciation for the amount of time and energy so graciously expended on us; to thank her for her interest in our class, and for her part in making our school years successful.

Fairhaven High School ' s grand old building Seemed most foreign, large, and drear. After several weeks of hunting, Rooms were found and spirits rose; And anon the class assembled And their officers they chose. First a president was selected— A maid most fair and sweet, Ruth Patasini was her name, Studious, competent, neat. Claire Duval was vice president, And Barbara Fassett scribe; Irene Fitzgerald was treasurer; And these four did rule the tribe. They studied long and worked so hard Some pleasure was their due; So a dance was held for the freshman class And most exclusive too. Some tripped the light fantastic— Some sat and watched it all; All had their fun at games and stunts, ’Twas really quite a hall. Not always is there pleasure, Not always play and fun; The loss of their dear principal Saddened everyone. Mr. Dickev was a friend to all j His aid and counsel true, His students will remember him, And honor his memory, too. 65 Now vacation was upon them, The time did quickly pass And when the fall was here again, They became the Sophomore Class. During the summer, the school committee Had selected with one voice, Our principal, Mr. Downing, An exceedingly wise choice. Again, fair Ruth to be their head, Carleton Trull was next in line, Claire Duval was the secretary; Bob Whiting cared for gold in their mine. Now great destruction was upon us; Rain descended, and high winds blew; Water covered all the earth. And destroyed much property, too. School was closed for a few days, They rested from their labors, And tried to help in many ways, Their far less fortunate neighbors. Soon lessons were as always, They tried to learn, not guess; One pause from routine duties, A sophomore dance, no less. Again the year’s work ended, Again they left their books And home their ways they wended; With not many backward looks. September found them ready For a new year of study, true; They met as Jolly Juniors, Ambitious, but frolicsome, too. Once more Ruth was selected Their President to he; Carlton Trull was their vice-president, Eleanor Cyr, their secretary. 66 Courtney Patasini was elected; Their treasurer was he; And Eleanor Bourque, with highest honors, Headed the Honor Society. The great event of their Junior year, The Junior Prom — how the time did pass; And on a throne in Neptune’s court Ruth Patasini was crowned queen by the class. An urge for drama struck them And they did present a play. Carlton Trull as Bashful Bob Stole many fair hearts away. On Junior Day the Seniors chose With hard work — rehearsals and such; To give a play for the Juniors; And they applauded, oh, so much. To return the compliment And be most kind and fair, The seniors were asked to Junior Dance. And many were seen there. Perhaps it would be wise to state, (Other classes may feel the same,) Unselfishness in sharing fun Is really half the game. Well, their Junior year was over; They departed to their homes; One last year left in High School, To con their books and tomes. Another September morning. They entered the halls so dear. Room 7 and Mr. Lawton beckoned; They’re Seniors now, never fear. Again they selected their leaders; For the fourth time in line Ruth Patasini was president, David Blaha vice-president this time. 67 Cal Hayward was their secretary, And Claire Duval treasurer, too; And so the days did roll along With ever so much to do. Again thi s class did woo the muse; A play they did present. Twas called “A Howling Success”, A title very well meant. After the play, the Senior Prom, Their last gala event; The class enjoyed each moment In dancing and pleasure spent. Now came the culmination Of days and months and years; These seniors received their diplomas And parted mid smiles and tears. Farewells were said to classmates; Farewells to teachers, too; One last look round the classrooms— High school days were through. Marjorie H. Brownell, ’41 68 ul etaa met The Last Will and Testament of the class of ’41 We, of the Fairhaven High School, County of Bristol, and State of Massachusetts, being of legal age, sound mind, and memory, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and annulling any and all Will or Wills by us made here¬ tofore: Item 1 Dick Stetson leaves his Christmas present from “da boys ’ to Mr. Wood to aid him in his future experiments.

Barbara DeCosta, ’41 78 LCIJ A VERY Poor Excuse For The Prophecy Of The Class Of 1941 The reunion of the class of 41 was unique in many ways, hut the most unusual thing about it was that it was held in the High School. The unprecedented and remarkable piece of diplomacy which convinced the school board that it would be altogether proper to use the school as the scene for this get-together was the work of Carlton Trull, who had since graduation, made himself famous as a tom-tom pounder. I arrived in Fairhaven a day early so that 1 might have a chance again to look over the town. I was walking up Main Street, and was just about to cross Elm Avenue when a thing that looked like an over-sized beetle tore by and nearly took me off my feet. It turned out to be Charlie Knowlton and Gary Westgate trying out the super, super modern car that Knowlton had designed. In our brief talk, Westgate told me that he had fulfilled his life-long am¬ bition. Yes, he was a trans-continental truck driver. Remembering that this was the beginning of the tennis season, I decided to take a walk to the town tennis courts, a once popular “rendez-vous”. There I found Calvin Hayward arguing with his wife, the former Sally Wilde, about something which I guessed was one of her numerous flirtations. Cal said he had started out to be a coach, but Sally had roped him, and he had had to go into the sugar business in order to support his rather large family. Bill Benson, who had been made famous by posing as a certain comic-strip funny man for a popular cartoonist, Ed. Pat- naude, was receiving a decided defeat from Ruth Patasini, a nurse who was in demand at one of our leading hospitals. Just as I had settled down to a rather peaceful conversation, Dick Stetson, naval architect; Charlie Hammond, lady-killer; and — oh yes — Robert Whittaker Proctor nearly ripped down the fences around the courts with Proctor’s newest speedster. Incidently, he had gained considerable fame as a politician, although he never had held an office. That evening I decided to take a ride over to Providence with a casual friend of mine, Mary Dickey, who had made herself very popular by her interpretations of leading roles in the newest tragedies. 79 I wished to hear a piano recital given by Walter Jura. We picked up a few of our old acquaintances who were transporting themselves over the New Bedford bridge by way of the thumb. The six of them piled into the hack seat of the car, and from the confused mass of legs, arms, and a few heads, they told us their life stories. “Pinky” Jones and Bill Apperson had become partners in a business venture — a distillery, I believe they said. Del Hirst told us that he played the bass fiddle in the New York Philharmonic. Dlougosinski and Dave Blaha both were playing professional football. Erwin Dexter had finally obtained a job teaching little children in the first grade, and was applying all the psychol ogy he knew to keep the dearies dis¬ ciplined. After Jura’s very excellent concert, we went hack stage to see him and met many familiar people. Barbara DeCosta, now Mrs. Farwell, and her husband were there. So was Ruby Helford, who told us she reviewed all the latest fiction for THE TIMES; Phil Sul¬ livan, popular “blues” singer on a coast to coast net work; and oddly enough, Frank King and Don Jason. These last two confided to me that, at present, they were merely gentlemen of leisure. I won¬ dered how they ever became interested in “high-brow” music. The next morning I decided to call on Barbara Kanter, the famous author of WHO SAID THE WOMEN ARE THE WEAKER SEX? It would seem as if I had walked in on a group of very noisy girls; I decided, at once, to remove my anatomy from the im¬ mediate vicinity. But before I did, I caught a glimpse of Florence Baker whose very pretty face had landed her in the movies. Also, from behind compacts, the faces of Marjorie and Irene Fitzgerald appeared. According to the papers, both of these girls had hooked some very rich guys as husbands. Mary LeClair was there, too, but she was buried in phonograph records and refused to say a word to anyone. Noon. My stomach was hitting my backbone. A sign, THE HUTTLESTONIAN HOUSE, caught my eye. I ambled toward the neat little restaurant, and when I entered I was greeted by Ruth Burrell. Imagine my surprise to find that she and Marjorie Reese had opened the little place! I had a steak (which later gave me indigestion) and started to read the Fairhaven Gossiper as I ate. I was amazed to find an editorial staff consisting of the following: editor, Earl Noblet, assistant editors, John Bradley and, of all things, Courtney Patasini; business manager Russell Chase (I pitied the financial condition of the paper); and society editor, Pat Wallbank. 30 Who would have imagined back in ' 41 that such people would ever he on a newspaper! Not I. Two news items caught my attention. The first told of Arthur Tripp’s gaining the position of minister of the new Unitarian Church in dear, old Mattapoisett. The second was about Aurelia Coelho’s sensational defense of some dame whose husband was suing for divorce or something. I started to walk out of the place (I was later to regret that 1 ever went in there. That steak!). I didn’t get far. Some thing terrible grabbed my shoulder and forced me back into the building. It was only Eleanor Cyr, the cashier. I had forgotten to pay my bill. Eleanor short changed me fifty cents, but I let it go. That steak needed a little exercise to help the body chemicals break it up, so I started at a moderate pace toward the park. I arrived just in time to see a baseball game between the Mattapoisett Plumber Supply Co. and the Fairhaven Leaky-Seam Steamship Co. I happened to notice the Leaky-Seam team was composed entirely of Fairhaven High athletes. Quite a coincidence, what? I recog¬ nized Ralph Peets behind the plate yelling to the rest of the team which consisted of Gordon Bradley, Howard Pimental, Ed Foster, Phil Murdy, “Chinky” Morris, Merceline Luiz, Ray Trahan, and Carlton Fielding. (Incidentally, the Leaky-Seams were defeated 19-0). When I walked aw r ay, I bumped into the large bulk of Ed. Buffington, who managed the local boys. I followed my nose and found myself in the library, where I was greeted by Thelma Cruz and Ellen Heyes, the new librarians. At the table, I saw Phyllis Gifford reading a book on applied psychology and guessed she was going to apply it to her first grade pupils. Cecile Blanchette was there, too, enjoying a book called THE POISONED GINGER ALE MURDER MYSTERY. I picked up a copy of the ATLANTIC MONTHLY and noticed an article by Marjorie Browmell entitled “Wild Life in Mattapoisett”. As I glanced at it, I saw it referred to natural life, not night life. I saw John Gibbons’ picture in ESQUIRE. He was modeling clothes, I think. I crossed the street and went into the Town Hall and met several people I used to know. James Knowles and Johnny Sherman had their names on the door of the Selectman’s Office. Milton Gonsalves was Tree Warden, and Noel Whiting was Chief of Police. He told me his brother Bob w r as on the force, too. Graft? I left the place 81 and nearly broke up a line of Girl Scouts headed by Marion Bold and Flora Delano. Girl Scouts depress me, so I legged it away. About five-thirty, I ran in to Theresa s Tea Shoppe, managed by Theresa Afthemeades. I saw Bob Gardner (of all people) sipping the insiped stuff, so I dashed in to say hello and chat. Our little talk was very abruptly interrupted by a loud clamor of bells and sirens. It was nothing more than a small fire across the street; but Courtney Gifford, the fire-chief, was yelling away; and Evelyn Teixeira, the owner of the gift shop that was supposed to be burning, was screaming about some new stock that she had just put in. Betty George fainted; and Priscilla Lewis, now a nurse, came rushing up to administer first aid. I hate crowds, so I grabbed Nancy Church’s arm (she, iucidently, turned out to be quite a glamour girl) and beat it. It was getting late, so I dashed back to the new Fairhaven Hotel, went up to the desk, and asked for my key. I think I haven’t men¬ tioned that the staff was composed mostly of girls of our class; oddly enough, all but the janitor, Ed. Freeman, and the house detective, Doug Stevens (imagine!) were females. The house was run by Charlotte Hathaway and Mary Lawton. A couple of very cute bellhops (not very efficient though) were Marcia Callahan and Claire Duval. As usual, there were the chamber maids that were always prying into your private business. Elizabeth Dexter, Mary Constantino, Alice Barboza, Hazel Viera, and Eileen Caswell took care of that duty. Oh yes, the doorman. I forgot him,—Dick Thatcher! I finally arrived at the banquet. As is the custom at many reunions, every one had to tell what he had done since he had left school. I was rather surprised to find the number of girls who had become nurses. Kathlyn Banks, Barbara Fassett, Dorothy Cardoza, Jean Sutcliffe, Irene Laronda, Carmina Carmara, -— all nurses. Quite a few teachers, too; Doris Richard, Ursula Fuller, Mary Dur- rigan, Miriam Spagnoli, Eleanor Redfern, and, of all people, Beryl Stearns. Several were secretaries and stenographers and stuff — Eleanor Bourque, Louise Prucha, Rose Gracia, Bernice Audette, Alice Botelho, and Anna Reilly. Chester Chandler ran in during all these autobiographies. Dear Chet was all dressed up in the Postal Telegraph uniform. It seems he had to work late and couldn’t get to the banquet on time. After the gathering had quieted down, the members of the re¬ nowned Class of ’41 continued to blow off their faces about their 82 lives. You would be surprised how many girls had been married. You never thought that Virginia Lacasse, Agnes McLeod, Gladys Ward, Annette Stetson, Elsie Roberts, and Sophie Renaud would all he hitched within such a few years, did you? You’ll die when you hear this (if you haven’t died already): George Frederick Braley, Jr. had married, too. At the dance after the banquet, I learned that Irene Erickson was responsible for the exhibition of oil paintings at the Boston Art Museum. While dancing, I noticed that the orchestra, if you could call it that, was composed of a few of the musicians of our dear class. George Ferreira was playing the trumpet; William Hendricks, the piano; and Pauline Costa, the clarinet. I guessed the class didn ' t have as much money as it used to have. It couldn’t even hire an orchestra. There’s no place like a dance to pick up pieces of gossip. I learned that Evelyn Sylvia had turned to music and was now a prom¬ ising concert violinist, and that Normand Blouin had inherited a fortune from a rich uncle or something. Shirley Silver was an air hostess, and Milton Rogers graduated from an engineering college and was working to a high position in an airplane factory. When I heard that Elsie Lyman had turned out to he a physicist, my mind wandered hack to the days of Mr. Wood ' s class in Physics. She didn’t show much promise in that field then. Eleanor Layton was a girls ' basketball coach, and Silvana Magardo a census taker. What a job! Linda Porte, Barbara Phillips, and Priscilla Hathaway were hairdressers. Nancy Martin had charge of the information booth in front of the High School, and Irene Stevens was personal secre¬ tary to an executive of an oil firm. Emily Bernado, Mary McDon¬ ough, Arline Pacheco, Lillian Francis, Evelyn Minezzi, Florence Lopes, Gladys Macomber, Hilda Spindola, and Gladys Thacker were all waitresses in the new Ritz Hotel in New Bedford. The Army and Navy were represented there, too. In fact, the whole dance floor was practically covered with blue and brown spots. Ed Burt, Ed LeClaire, and Alfred Chartier were from the army. Emile Martel, Allen Sherman, Richmond Tripp, Gordon Volmoutka, and Sumner Wilbur defended the navy cause. Oh, yes, little Walter Luiz had somehow been accepted by the Marines. I’d like to know why the doctors didn’t find those stilts he wore. With apologies to all concerned, Donald A. Kearns, ’41. 83 174 M PHPiS i piiiii Kill 1@3 iililii Sf Is nyxqanizaiioni ana c Tctinitizi ALICE F. BOTELHO Vice-President ELEANOR BOURQUE President ELEANOR M. CYR Secretary MARJORIE H.

To New Bedford Woman’s Club ELEANOR M. CYR To New Bedford Woman’s Club The senior class and the faculty have chosen Ruth Patasini as the “Good Citizenship Pilgrim.” This honor is given to a senior girl possess¬ ing outstanding qualities of character, personality, and patriotism. She re¬ presented our school at the state con¬ ference of the Massachusetts Daughters of the American Revolution in Boston. The New Bedford Woman’s Club started the practice, several years ago, of asking representatives from high schools to he guests at their meetings. This year Ruth Patasini and Eleanor Cyr were chosen to represent this high school. At the meeting this year, Mrs. Al¬ bert Farnsworth, a representative to the State Legislature, spoke on the subject “Around the State House”. In her talk, she told how bills were intro¬ duced, and how careful consideration was given to each issue. She showed the method used in passing a bill, and also how Women’s Clubs and other organizations may help in state legis¬ lation. Refreshments were served, and our two representatives, Ruth Patasini and Eleanor Cyr, enjoyed the meeting very much. 90 DL % EExhadzz i This year’s squad of nine active girls composed and popularized three new cheers for us, and they have done much to restore more of the good, old Fairhaven school spirit. We know that they have worked hard and tirelessly and we salute them for their line efforts. The squad consisted of head cheerleader, Irene Fitzgerald, and Ruth Patasini, Priscilla Lewis, Ruth Byerly, Louise Benson, Janet Swift, Irene Erickson, Claire Duval and Nancy Church. They wore blue Eaton caps, blue skirts, and white sweaters. The leader, how¬ ever, was dressed all in white. 91 “A Howling Success”, a comedy in three acts by Robert C. Schimmel, lived up to its name in reality when a star cast from the Senior Class of 1941 presented it to a capacity audience on the night of March twenty-eighth. Under the efficient direction of Miss Maliel Hoyle, students rose to new heights in a production especially amusing and quite true to life. Briefly, the play centers about the problem child, rampant in nearly every family. In the Pennywate family, Herbert was the problem, and Carlton Trull did some exceptionally fine work in dramatizing this part. Barbara Kanter, too, as Prunella Pennywate, showed herself the ideal sister — for one night anyway! The ever devoted mother was well played by Elsie Roberts and the father, Lucius Pennywate, an ambitious lawyer, gave Robert Knipe, the only member of the cast not a Senior, an opportunity to display his recognized talent. 94 Aurelia Coelho, as Herbert ' s champion, Aunt Hep, provided plenty of excuse for gales of laughter from the audience, and all others taking part gave their share. Action began when Herbert, with his trusted friend “Crusty Ingram, enacted by Gordon Bradley, planned a robbery in order to make himself a hero in the eyes of the drawling, southern beauty, Shenandoah Marr, whose part was taken by Priscilla Lewis. And right here, Phyllis Sullivan contributed no small bit of success to this dramatic piece by her skillful acting in the characterization of Herbert’s shy, lisping admirer, Joy Shook. As Herbert makes bis plans, be uncovers a similar plot by the Penny wate’s maid, Marta (Evelyn Teixeira) and the gardener, Tony (Milton Gonsalves), who are trying to steal evidence from the safe concerning Lucius Pennywate’s opponent for Senator in the coming election. There is real excitement in three homes the evening that the safe is rifled. Joy and the two boys vanish, along with Marta and Tony, and everyone is looking for them — Joy’s father, the police captain (Noel Whiting) as well as Joey Carter (Donald Jason), who is not on the best of terms with Herbert, but who wishes to make good in the Intelligence Service under Captain Shook. Finally, Joy is found under a bed in the Pennywate home, but the boys are not found until late the following morning at the time Marta is captured. When Lucius Pennywate learns that Marta is actually the daughter of his opponent, he decides to withhold the evidence anyway — said evidence not having been stolen, incidently, because Herbert bad opened the safe before the robbery, obtained the documents and hidden them. Herbert, it seems, bad formerly had ambitions to become a locksmith and had learned the combina¬ tion of the safe. He had, also, at various times, wished to become a policeman, an electrical engineer, and a boat pilot, but events had shown him his real destiny. As the curtain falls, we find him at last w illing to comply with his father’s wishes, and become a lawyer — another Lawyer Pennywate — and all is well. In addition to the cast and director, credit should lie given to the presentation committee, the prompter, and members of the or¬ chestra. Everyone on the program helped make the 1941 Senior Play, “A Howling Success”, long to be remembered. Jean Campbell, ' 42. 95 HL O %cnz±t%a The Fairhaven High School Orchestra was organized by Mr. Clarence E. Jones of New Bedford in 1926. As musical interest increased, Mr. Frederick William Kempf was appointed conductor three years later. Under his direction this organization has im¬ proved considerably each year. The orchestra, which consists of forty-five members, now holds weekly rehearsals, playing for school functions, and joining with the high school chorus to present an annual concert. Qualified students from grades 10, 11, and 12 are eligible for membership in this group. It has helped immeasurably to bring credit to the name of Fairhaven High School as a school of high standing. 96 Fourteen years ago, the Fairhaven Fligh School Band was or¬ ganized hy Mr. Clarence W. Arey. Today it is considered one of the finest in New England. Each year it has received a superior rating at the New England and State Music Festivals. These results have been achieved through the efforts of Mr. Arey, the director and Miss Elizabeth Hastings, advisor and hand mother. No small credit is due, however, to the members themselves whose co-operation and service have made Fairhaven proud of them. Fine inter-school relationship between New Bedford and Fairhaven has been promoted hy exchange of assembly programs, annual trips to Boston for con¬ certs, and massed demonstrations at the “big game”. 97 D,t £ dJ-futt[Estonian JStaff 1 - ■ m til (wj 1; 3 k 89 1 kk:� 1 jrf, f j ■ i ... 1 I ft H ' fj • 1® i i 1 F ■ m ffl 19 WMb ' J : ms - f JUy 1 k R ylM a pffik 1 mBm This year the editorial staff of The Huttlestonian has endeav¬ ored to present a panorama of the life of the Class of 1941 in and about the school.

Two new competitors, Vocational and West Springfield, were added to our schedule. Coach Clement’s first Fairhaven football team showed great superiority in playing schools of equal class; and it more than held its own against superior sized teams. New Bedford had to overcome a lot of fight before taking over the Armistice day tilt. Following is the season’s record: Barrington 0 Fairhaven 40 Taunton 7 Fairhaven 0 Dartmouth 0 Fairhaven 21 V ocational 19 Fairhaven 0 West Springfield 0 Fairhaven 0 Attleboro 0 Fairhaven 18 Coyle 0 Fairhaven 6 New Bedford 13 Fairhaven 0 104 Our basketball season started out in fair form due to the lack of veteran team material. Few experienced players returned, and Coach Clement had to break in new combinations. Proving the saying that practice makes perfect, by mid-season both the players and the scores improved. The team played with more snap and form. The final record was not the best obtained at the high school, but due to the fact that most of our victories came in the last half of the season, no credit should be taken off lor the game fighting in spite of early setbacks. The season ended with eight wins against twelve losses. 105 It takes an individual to win one event. It takes many fellows to win a track meet. Coach Entin’s team has plenty of life and spark when the urge is great. It’s this spark that pulls the team through when the competition is greatest. Our team can win with a will to succeed, and on the strength of our opening victory, Fairhaven will end the best year of athletics that has been seen in a long time. Rounding off our major sports, it is plainly seen that the Fair- haven spirit is on the road up. This year has accomplished a great deal in promoting higher standards of support for our sports schedule. 106 The basel)all season had a fine start with high school spirit and support. Coach Clement wasn’t so handcuffed as in his first year, and with the teamwork that has been shown in a few of our opening games, the prospects of a good season may easily be realized. A pitcher needs good backing, and with good teamwork Fair- haven will head the league and remain on top. The early season outlook shows that the hoys will make plenty of placements on the “All Bristol” team. Our team heads all other schools in the number of games played. Fairhaven has the jump on early season preparation. This leads to a strong possibility of improving last year’s baseball record. 107 The Fairhaven High School girls, who made lip the varsity squad, enjoyed an excellent season. Out of the four games that were scheduled with other schools, two were won. The opponents were the Dartmouth and Tabor girls. Two tournaments were played. The first was an interclass tour¬ nament, which was made up of girls from the different classes. The second was an intra-mural team tournament. Both were enthus¬ iastically received. 110 The girl’s hockey team opened its season with a game against Dartmouth. Two other games were played, including one with Tabor and a return game with Dartmouth. There were also intra-mural teams made up of the girls from the different classes. Miss Helen Cushing, gym instructor for the girls, and Miss Ruth Kussman of the faculty gave their services at the games.
