The school was started in the upper room of the Number Four Schoolhouse with sixty pupils in January, 1872, during the long winter vacation of the other schools. Rev. A. F. Frost was principal. In 1873 the school moved to the First Parish Church, which then stood on Union Street, just below the cemetery. Mr. John Berry, a young man who had a few years before conducted a private school in town, was hired to succeed Mr. Frost, who had resigned. Until 1877 the school was ungraded; pupils of all ages came and stayed as long as they pleased. Asa matter of form, entrance examinations were required. ‘The story is told that on one occasion Mr. Crow- ley, then one of the school board, was so sympathetic for those who did not pass that he told them that they, too, might enter with the exception of one overgrown pupil, who, in reality, belonged in one of the lower grades. Many are the anecdotes told of Mr. Berry’s regime. The pond behind the church offered a handy ducking-pool. On one occasion two boys had a dis- agreement, resulting in the immersion of one. Unfortunately for the boys, Mr. Berry soon discovered this and both felt the sting of his rod—one for ducking, and the other for being ducked. The anteroom was the judgment hall, where, on other occasions, culprits waited in suspense, never knowing whether to ex- pect a slap, a punch, or a severe shaking. A variation was to send offenders up the long rough road to Mr. Crowley’s house, in the west part of the town, to confess their crimes. The journey was the hardest part of the punishment, for Mr. Crowley was a lenient disciplinarian. “This was years before the advent of the cigarette; the boys smoked genuine pipes after lunch, which they ate in the schoolroom. ‘The resulting disagreeable odor caused Mr. Berry to forbid the practice on that floor. Subsequently the boys evolved the idea of descending to the cellar and blowing the smoke up through the cracks. At the end of four years Mr. Berry, at his request, was transferred to the grammar school. He was succeeded by Mr. Frank M. Copeland, who imme- diately introduced a system of grades with the incentive of graduation. In 1878 the first class, consisting of eight girls, received their diplomas, the exercises tak- ing place in Lovell’s Hall, now used by the Odd Fellows. Although it was the twenty-eighth of June, and hot, the girls all wore woolen dresses of black, som- ber blue, or other dark, practical colors. The room was without ventilation, so the windows were opened. Consequently the sound of the timid voices was carried through the windows, and proud parents and friends were unable to hear a word. ‘The program was furnished not only by the graduates, but by brilliant members of other classes. Although they doubtless deserved their diplomas, tests and examinations were not required, neither was perfect attendance. In fact, one girl who lived 29 some distance from school, was unable to withstand the rigor of winter storms and consequent bad travelling, so took an annual vacation from Thanksgiving to spring, except in her last year when it was mildly suggested that she board in town so that she could attend the full time. Boys stayed out for long periods during spring planting. The following year the somber garb of the graduates was replaced by white organdy. The boys, too, were dressed in the height of style with new linen dusters to wear on the way to the hall, and white kid gloves for the plat- form. Mr. Herbert King, the valedictorian of the class, more accustomed to wear- ing mittens than gloves, pulled his on so vigorously that one thumb broke through, necessitating his hiding his thumb in his doubled-up fist during his oration. His graduating outfit had cost his father two dollars and a quarter. Mr. Copeland was a strict disciplinarian. Before his advent a favorite practice of a certain group of boys was to throw stones at the windows of the unused part of the church to see how many panes of glass one stone would break. Shortly after his arrival he completely abolished the habit by making the boys pay for the glass. During the reign of his successor there was a period of self-discipline. Even Charles Hagerty, who was the star of the class, did things of which he was ashamed. The tongue of the bell disappeared mysteriously, and in lieu of a bell the principal used a stick of wood on the side of the door to call the school to- gether. There was really no need of summoning them even in this way, for they came only when there was no more alluring diversion. One of the popular forms of recreation in this period was dancing the quadrille in the tiny anteroom at recess and noontime. A whistling boy or a skilled player of the jew’s harp furnished the music. For outside amusement twenty of the young men formed a Young Men's Improvement Society. We wonder now if they lived up to their ambitious name. ‘They hired the vestry of the Swedenborgen Church as a clubroom. Their meetings usually took the form of dances, with a ‘‘classy’’ orchestra: an old organ brought down from the church auditorium, a violin, and a cornet. On special occasions it was not unusual for the affair to last until 5 A. M. Chaper- ones were unknown, and it would have been deemed an insult had anyone sug- gested the need of an older person’s attendance. The class of 1882 was composed of only two members, both young men, who allege they always tended strictly to business. Undaunted by scarcity of numbers, they planned to carry on the regular graduation exercises, confident of the quality of the class, if not the quantity. But, alas, they were doomed to disappointment, for the school committee allowed the principal to accept a better position, and leave three weeks before the end of the term; so school ended with- out a graduation, and the diplomas were just handed out. That year they had had five different principals. In 1883, examination rules were more rigorous than in Mr. Crowley's time, and out of thirty-five candidates only ten were admitted. The graduation exercises were held in March, a custom which continued for several years. The spring term opened in the newly finished Town Hall. Since the 30 students owned their own text books, moving day was simple. The night be- fore the change the pupils took their books home with them, and the next day brought them to the new school. In 1884, the town began furnishing the books to comply with a new state law. At this time the school year consisted of thirty-four weeks. The class of 1885 graduated with one lonesome boy among eight girls. One of '87s well-known members, Mr. Ernest White, with two classmates, had an unhappy experience with an elderly deacon residing on Union Street. The deacon was strict in his ideas and had little interest in school athletics. During football practice in the yard behind the Town Hall and cemetery, the boys kicked the ball into the deacon’s chicken yard, and while engaged in re- covering it, accidentally broke the fence. Before they could reach the school, they saw the owner of the broken fence heading for the same place. Youthful legs, prompted by guilty consciences, enabled the owners to reach the schoolroom first, where they all scattered to separate hiding places. The boys were nowhere to be found when the principal tried to satisfy the irate deacon. White concealed himself behind the organ, where he remained all the morning, until the air be- came so stifling that he feared suffocation, and slunk out to be met by Mr. Tower's inquiry, ““Where have you been?’’ Ernest meekly replied, “‘Hiding from the deacon.”’ Forthwith the other boys were discovered and given the alternative of apology or a week's suspension. “They chose the latter. Return- ing a week later, they discovered that the apology was still expected, and were sent to the owner of the chicken yard. He accepted their acknowledgment of error with the requirement that they tip their hats when they met him on the street. The year 1888 saw the addition of an assistant to help the principal in his arduous duties of teaching and governing the growing school. This necessi- tated an extra room. A member of the class of ’89 tells us that competition was keen between the boys and girls; the girls gave the boys a run for their money. Scholarship, however, in the class of ’89 and preceding classes, received no reward of coveted places on the graduation program. ‘These honors were allotted by the class. The class of 1890 was the last to choose a valedictorian by vote. “They were the first to have an ode. A unique number on the graduation program was an exhibition in calisthenics by some of the boys. Several of the class en- joyed sleigh riding the two days following graduation, (March twenty-four). From 1889 to 1893 Mr. Fred C. Hardon, whose musical abilities were well recognized in Mansfield, was principal. He tried to prove in the High School his contention that everyone could sing. His theory, however, proved a failure and his plan was frustrated by the necessity of excusing several boys whose voices were changing. Until 1891 languages had been taught only as a special favor to pupils who needed them for further study. In fact, one of the early principals, either from lack of time or inclination, sent those who desired German or French to his home to be instructed by his wife. In 1891 a Latin course was introduced. A new epoch in the history of Mansfield schools began this year when Mr. E. P. Fitts became superintendent. Up to this time the entire supervision 31 of the school had been in the hands of the school committee. Mr. Fitts revived the June graduations. The year 1892 marked the removal of the school from the Town Hall to the Central Building, where it occupied two rooms and a small, poorly equipped laboratory in the attic. “The moving was not entirely a joyous occasion, for the pupils felt ita step downward to leave a building exclusively for them to occupy a section of a structure supervised by Mr. Berry and including lower grades. The lawn in front and on the sides of the building was carefully graded; and as long as Mr. Berry remained principal, it was hallowed ground, not to be desecrated by scraps of paper or unruly footsteps. Or Arbor Day, at the instigation of Mr. William C. Winter, a member of the School Board, small maple trees were set out along the edge of the lawn. Each room planted a tree and was expected to be responsible for its care. In October the High School joined with the other schools in commemo- rating the four hundredth anniversary of the landing of Columbus. Much time was spent in practicing for the songs, marching, and recitations. The class of 1893 initiated the idea of class rings. Asa result of being the first class to study German, they used that language for their motto. The class of 1895 was still more ambitious, presenting a short French play at graduation. The class of 1896 seems to have featured the English language, as they were the first to start a school publication, the ‘‘M. H. S. Mirror’’, an entertain- ing sheet written in longhand on school paper. “The most ambitious number was read as a part of the graduation exercises. Also, in the senior year of the class, one issue of the Mansfield News was handed over to the High School to compose. ‘They were entirely responsible for the editorials, a short story, and the news items. It was the custom for the Seniors to have a beautifully decorated cake, which was cut graduation night and distributed among the members. ‘This class had a beauty. Upon the pure white frosting the class motto stood out in crimson— ‘Non Solis Nobis’? (Not for Ourselves Alone). At the reception a few choice friends were allowed to look on it, but the actual ceremony was be- hind closed doors. The only incident that we have been able to learn in the history of the class of 1897 is that they hung a May basket for the principal at his home. The wily pedagog ushered the girls into one room and the boys into another. In spite of his precautions the company was soon mixed. Athletics had had their part in the life of the school almost since its begin- ning. In 1877 the baseball team was playing Plainville and Attleboro. In 1888 they were using as a practice field, Janes’s Field, on West Street. But it was in 1898 under the guidance of the principal, Mr. Stone, that football was started. He was a good sport and played with the boys. When he became too disheveled, however, he disliked to be seen by the townspeople; so, at least on one occasion, the boys grouped around him to form a screening body guard as they returned to town. ‘The feminine contingent assisted at the games from the side lines by rattling the opponents. The girls had a milder form of athletics. They were required to buy oY Indian clubs, which they used in the gymnasium, the unfinished attic, where they were obliged to stand in the middle to avoid hitting the rafters. ‘The next year the boys’ athletic field was transferred to Branch Street. 1899 was the last year of the three-year course. Consequently there was no graduation in 1900. This year an addition was made to the Central Build- ing, which enabled the High School to have an extra room and a larger labora- tory. Every class is proud to record its initiative. The annals of the class of 1902 show that they started having plays in the Town Hall to raise money: they presented the school with a bust of Shakespeare, the first class gift; and they introduced a class will. The school authorities caught the spirit of starting things and offered a business course, including shorthand and typewriting. Fif- teen pupils elected the course, which made a heavy demand on the single type- writer. Each one had a try at it for fifteen minutes. The Boy Cadets were organized in the spring of 1903 under Major Dan- forth. His favorite expression, “Hold your head up, your feet will stay on the floor’ soon had its effect on the military bearing of the boys. The class of 1903 followed the example of the previous seniors, and put on a class play, which netted three hundred dollars. Part of this sum was spent to purchase a statue of Minerva. Poor Minerva! No goddess was ever so beset with trials. “They tested her courage by leaving her alone all night with a mouse tied to her. She suffered the indignity of being clothed in male attire to repre- sent a mere mortal, one of the assistants. Whether in the cause of hygiene, or as a matter of pure deviltry, somebody gave her a bath and spoiled her school girl complexion. She received fractures, and no one knows how or where she ended her days. ; Minerva was not the only immortal who endured trials at the hands of high school pupils. Fearing that Shakespeare had an earache, they stuffed his ears with tinfoil; they put a cigarette behind his ear, and even in recent years taught him to wear a hat in the school room. And he survived! In 1904 the two sessions were compressed into one, lasting from 8:20 to 1:15. The school year was lengthened from thirty-six to forty weeks. The Athletic Association, which supported baseball, was formed about this time. It gradually became inactive, and was revived with a new constitu- tion in 1912. Its support didn’t amount to much, as the boys had to furnish their own suits, which were never complete. They traveled to out-of-town games on trolleys, and changed their clothes in woods and barns. The cadets spent a week each summer from 1904 to 1909 at Oak Bluffs, where they formed a regiment with Taunton, Fall River, and Brockton. In 1904 and 1905 the Boston Herald offered a trophy in baseball, which Mansfield won. The school officially took little part in athletics, for there were none of the faculty at the games. ‘‘Ringers’’ were used, and the Mansfield team often took its own umpire in order to be sure to win the game. On one occasion at Walpole, to satisfy the ambition of his team, the umpire was obliged to pronounce a fair ball a foul. The fellow who had made the hit ran to home plate, grabbed the 33 bat, and chased the umpire all over the field. However, the umpire’s decision was law, and Mansfield won the game. The college preparatory group greatly rejoiced in 1905 because the Mans- field High School was granted the certificate privilege. The graduating class of 1905 was the largest up to this time, yet it con- tinued the custom of having every member of the class take part at commence- ment. Consequently patient relatives remained on the wooden seats in the Town Hall until quarter of twelve. “That never happened again. “The next year’s class had a selective program. In the Fall there was an entire change of teachers. In 1905 the class of 1909 started a paper, the ‘Bow-Wow Bulletin,’ which expired after three years. The following year for the first time the music to the class ode was com- posed by a member of the class. The class of 1906 was left in the lurch when the music director, angry at the boys’ inattention at the rehearsal on the morning of graduation, walked out. One of the townspeople was called upon to direct the chorus that night. Mansfield’s initial experience in a speaking contest came in 1906 when Mansfield entered into competition with Franklin, Medfield, Medway, and Woonsocket. The first girls’ cadet drill was in 1908. One of the school committee ob- jected to the girls’ having a drill, and said they had better learn to make dough- nuts. To prove that they were able to do both, the girls made about thirty dozen doughnuts, which they planned to present as souvenirs to the guests. But the school committee, learning of the intended distribution, ordered that they should not be served. The boy cadets, however, ate their fill and pro- nounced them very good. The next year the nature of the drill was somewhat changed, a prize be- ing offered for the best exhibition of efficiency. The year 1909 saw two improvements: a field in back of the school was added to the school yard, and a new business department was installed on the third floor, with twenty desks, and a long bench for typewriters. This class of 1909, which as freshmen issued the ““Bow-Wow Bulletin,” in their senior year published the “‘Argonaut,’’ a printed monthly magazine, which was a credit to the school. Later it was published only three times a year. The same year, in order to raise money to support a baseball coach, the school gave a minstrel show which benefited them by the sum of seventy-five dollars. A trip to Washington was an innovation introduced by the class of 1910. All these years the school had been growing, until in September, 1910, the membership was one hundred thirty-four. That same fall a High School orchestra was organized. The 1911 baseball team won the Bristol County championship. The present school color, green, was adopted about this time. The class of 1912, which was the second class to go to Washington, raised Sire their travel fund by ingenious means; they collected twelve dollars worth of old rubbers, and also held a Christmas fair. In the spring the High School joyfully moved to their new building. A few hours after they arrived in the midst of general disorder, with books on the floor and unattached seats, they were hustled out of the building because of a rubbish fire in the basement. The pleasure of moving into a new building was partly marred for the seniors by the inconvenience and disappointment of be- ing obliged to hold their graduation in the gymnasium because the Town Hall was under repair. The new gymnasium was an incentive for the forming of boys’ and girls’ basketball teams. Even at drill the girls introduced style. This was the period of long, tight skirts, so in order that they might march, their navy blue skirts were slit and showed colorful petticoats. The first of the so-called “‘big classes’, the product of the consolidation of the eighth and ninth grades of grammar school, entered the High School with a membership of seventy-six in the fall of 1916. ‘The class of 1917 was the last to go to Washington. Phonograph records and a lantern for the lecture room were purchased with money received from the sale of Lowney’s chocolates. The World War had its effect on the High School. The only class to send any of its members into the service was 1919, which contributed two to the cause. Economy was the keynote during these years, and graduation dresses were simple. Girls were excused from classes to sell little pins for the Red Cross. In the winter of 1918 school was forced to close for four weeks as a result of the coal shortage. The after-effects of the war influenced the class of 1919 not to have the annual class play. A new room was furnished in 1918 for Domestic Science. The influence of the new department was felt when, two years later, a lunch counter was es- tablished in the drill hall. Because of a deficiency in funds, the class of ’18 was unable to take a long- planned-for trip to Washington, and thus started the customary yearly trip to Boston. Enthusiasm ran high when the prize speaking team brought back two shields that same year. One was the result of the Sharon-Stoughton-Mansfield contest, which Mansfield won in ’16,’17, and ’18; the other was the Singleton coutesta WONtin W195. l.c6 emel 3. Music received a new interest during this period. In 1918 a fife and drum corps was started, and the ensuing year the orchestra was reorganized, and boys’ and girls’ glee clubs were formed. In 1920, under Mr. Nye, the supervisor of music, the first High School concert was held in the Town Hall, featuring the boys’ and girls’ choruses, the boys’ and girls’ glee clubs, the orchestra, and the mixed chorus. It was this year that greater recognition was given to athletics. Gymna- sium work was required. The first teacher coach was employed, and he re- stored football. Several weeks before graduation an anonymous benefactor offered a prize 35 of twenty-five dollars to the girl who should make the prettiest low-priced dress suitable to the occasion. Miss Alice Olliff won the reward with an organdy dress, which cost six dollars and seven cents. As a stimulus to scholarship, a branch of the Pro Merito Society was intro- duced into the High School in ’21. In the spring of this year a gymnastic exhibition was substituted for the girls’ drill. To encourage simplicity in dress, a member of the school board influenced the girls to wear their cadet suits at graduation, expecting that succeeding classes would follow suit with middy blouses and plain skirts. But they never did. Mansfield High School had the honor of winning the Bristol County Football Championship that year. The first Junior Class play was presented in 1924 by the class of ’25. The regular curriculum was changed in 1925 to include four courses: college, commercial, technical, and general. A change was made in 1926 in the commencement exercises. Instead of having the entire program furnished by the graduates, the honor parts and an address by a speaker of prominence were given on Commencement Night. Class Night was instituted for the less serious part of the program. “This custom has been continued in 1927 and 1928. As we look back over fifty years, the changes have been many and various. Who would dare prophesy for the next fifty years? The historian wishes to acknowledge most gratefully the generous services of Miss Jennie Copeland, who has been of inestimable service in compiling these annals. Without her help and that of other alumni who have so kindly con- tributed information, this history would have been impossible. RE Class History By MARY A. WYNN In September, 1925, the good ship ‘‘Class 1928’’, its destination being a High School Education, started on its journey with Eric Browning as Cap- tain, Prescott Martin, First Mate, Alice Gray, Clerk, and Muriel Bessom, Purser. Soon after, Jane Barnes became Captain. As the crew was unfamiliar with its surroundings, it was more or less timid. But like true sailors, they passed the initiation test with flying colors. Letters were won in Football and Baseball by Nickerson, Harlor, and Whitehouse. “In June, 1926, the first part of the course covered, we sailed into port, and the crew was given a well-earned two-months shore-leave. The following September we started on the second part of our course. For this trip, Frederick Wills was Captain, James Coad, First Mate, Marjorie Nesbit, Clerk, and William Harlor, Purser. In October the crew gave a little Hallowe'en Party which was very suc- cessful. 36 Several of the members were fine athletes. Letters in Football were won by Coad, Dustin, Harlor, Nickerson, I. Martin, P. Martin, Sweet, and White- house. Letter men in Basketball were Harlor, Nickerson, and I. Martin. Sev- eral girls were prominent in this sport and also won letters. “They were Miss Ogul, Miss Julian, and Miss Wills. In Baseball, Beatty, Coad, Harlor, I. Mar- tin, Nickerson, and Whitehouse won letters. Then came the grand ball, the Senior reception, in honor of the Seniors. Both officers and crew worked hard and made it a splendid success. Thus ended the second stretch of the course. Once more we dropped anchor for another shore-leave. ‘This fall we started on the last and most serious part of our course. Four more able officers were chosen: James Coad, Captain, William Chase, First Mate, Mary Wynn, Clerk, and Martha Ogul, Purser. Eleven members of the crew were distinguished with the high honor of membership into the Pro Merito Society. They were as follows: Silvio Bellucci, James Coad, Dorothy Glines, Alice Gray, Bernadette Hatch, Edna Hiltz, Martha Ogul, Hope Rider, George Syat, Frederick Wills, and Mary Wynn. In this society, George Syat was elected President, James Coad, Vice-President, and Edna Hiltz, Secretary-Treasurer. The Football men did well this year and letters were received by Manager Cundall, Bellucci, Coad, Dustin, Hall, Harlor, P. Martin, I. Martin, Nicker- son, Sweet, Whitehouse, and Wills. Again in Basketball letters were won by Coad, Harlor, I. Martin, Nickerson, Robinson, and Wills, for the boys, and by Miss Hiltz, Manager, Miss Ogul and Miss Julian for the girls. “The Baseball season for 1928 will soon be ended,.and Nickerson, Whitehouse, Harlor, I. Mar- tin, Beatty, Coad, and Robinson w ill receive letters. On Thanksgiving night the crew gave a play, ‘“The Charm School’, which was a great success. On March 28, 1928, the crew obtained furloughs to spend the day in Boston. In the evening the members met at the Westminster, where all enjoyed a delicious banquet. Later they went to the Tremont Theatre to see the musi- cal comedy, “‘Hit the Deck’. Since we were all good sailors ourselves, we knew why the sailors in the play appreciated a good cup of Java at Looloo’s Coffee House, Soon all were on deck again, continuing the course. In the preliminary Speaking Contest, Gilda Julian won first place for the girls, and Alice Gray, second. At the finals, Miss Julian won first prize. Now our destination is won. For the last time the ‘“‘Class 1928” has dropped anchor, its journey over. But soon each member of the crew will start out alone on the Sea of Life. There will be storms and calms to be faced by each, no matter what course he follows. May each sail triumphantly through them to his destination. cys « ° ra fe) + 38 Prophecy of the Class of 1928 By GEORGE A. ROBINSON It is the year 1938, the twenty-seventh day of June, and the tenth anni- versary of our graduation from Mansfield High School. I am visiting with my friend and partner in business, Irving Martin, and have just been giving myself the exquisite pleasure of reading his latest book of poems, entitled ‘“‘May-time Sonnets”, which I found on a table in his comfortable library, when ‘Muzzy’, as he is still known, enters. “I have a surprise for you tonight,’ he states with a knowing look. “Yes?’’ I question, uninterestedly. (It is not always wise to be too easily taken in with his ‘‘surprises’’). ““Yes,’’ he replies, “‘I knew that you would be glad to know what our for- mer classmates have done since 1928, and as this is our graduation anniversary, I have purchased a book entitled ‘Who’s Who—1938’, which contains the names and occupations of every member of the class of 1928.”’ Before I can answer further, he goes out and returns soon with a large volume. Seating himself comfortably in a chair beside me, where we can read the book together, he opens it. Turning to the second page, under the letter “‘B’’, we see the following: a life-like photograph of Raldo Baldini, resplendent in brilliant red and yellow uniform, and under the picture is printed: General, in command of the distribu- tion of tomatoes in the American Army. Now in China. A few pages farther on, we pause to read something which gives me no little surprise. It is: Bernard Beatty: Leader in the recent overthrow of the Mexican Govern- ment. Now President of that Republic. (Another of America’s strong, silent men has made good. ) On the same page we read: Silvio Bellucci: Quarterback on Dartmouth’s championship football team, 1930. Captain of the steamer S. S. ‘Sargent’, 1932. At present leader of the famous Bellucci Brass Band. The last name under “‘B”’ is Lloyd Buck: Instructor in aviation, Kelly Field, “Texas. On page forty-five, the C’s begin with James Coad: President of the “Dazz ’ Shoe Polish Company of Brockton, Mass. The second name under this letter is William Chase: Pharmacist and Physician. Graduate of the Lord’s Own School of Pharmacy and Medicine, 1934. Sylvia Conrad: writing a series of articles for the Beauty Department of Attleboro Sun on ‘‘Mind Over Matter’ or “‘Easy Lessons in Weight Reduc- tion.” Near the bottom of the last page of “‘C’s”’ we find the following: Herman Cundall: Jockey at Tia Juana, 1931. Winner of the National Army Marks- manship contest, 1935. “‘At last we know why his neighbors’ cats disappeared so unaccountably during his high school days.” ay) Under ‘‘D”’, the first name on the first page is Cathleen Dennehy: Interna- tionally known danseuse. A few pages farther on, we read: Raymond Dustin: First man to perfect a seedless cucumber, 1930. Winner of the Dustin-Dowry boxing match for the heavyweight championship of the world, 1937. Under ‘‘G”’ the first name is Dana Gallup: Author of the helpful vol- umes, entitled, “Questions that can’t be answered,’ and ‘The Ford: the Car that Gallups and will not Trot.” We next look for Raymond Goyea, but can not find his name under “‘G”’. So we decide to look for West Mansfield. Sure enough, there it is: Raymond Goyea: Mayor and leading farmer of West Mansfield, proprietor of the General Store, and Janitor of Mystic Hall. Returning to the letter ‘‘G’’, we read an interesting item: Alice Gray: Winner of the National Beauty Contest, Atlantic City, 1930. Being sought as a possible star by the Famous Beauties Film Company. The very next name is one we all remember: Eliot Gray: Press agent and dancing partner for the famous danseuse, Olga Rushinski. Winner of the sales- manship contest for the demonstration of water-proof hats, 1929. The first name under the letter “‘H’’: Bernadette Hatch: First aviatrix to make the difficult non-stop flight from Mansfield to Norton, 1930. On page one hundred and fifty-two: Sumner Hall: Graduate of Harvard Law School, 1932. Judge of the Supreme Court, 1937. The only judge known to be equally at home in a courtroom or in a jail. The next name we find is well-known: William Harlor: Captain, Yale University football team, 1931. Winner of the Indianapolis Speedway, in a Curtis Special racing car, 1935. Now we come to the most popular girl during our school days: Edna Hiltz: Teacher in Pinewood Co-ed Prep. School, New York City. Voted most popular private tutor in the history of that school. We search for the name of the girl who left in the possession of her high school a silver loving cup. Under the letter “‘J’’ we find: Gilda Julian: Ameri- ca’s leading reader, 1929-1938. Strong backer of the Smithsonian Institute, to which she recently presented a new chemistry laboratory, and a volume on “The Hidden Dangers of Sulphuric Acid.” We have now reached the middle of the book, and the first name we see here is Prescott Martin, Dean of the Beckman Institute of Technology. We come to a name which brings back many humorous memories: Albert Nickerson: Graduate of Boston College, 1932. Founder of a home for broken- down automobiles. He still wants to know, ‘‘What makes them go?”’ A few of the members of the class are not listed in the book under their names. But having a suspicion where they may possibly be, we look under the profession of “‘secretary’’, and there we find the following: Finest secretaries in the state: Jean MacDonald, Dorothy Glines, Madalena Roman, and Evelyn Cornish. Martha Ogul, we discover, is traveling about the country, giving demon- strations in typewriting in all high schools of sufficient importance. She is the world’s champion typist. 40 Irene Padelford is operating a chain of profitable lunchrooms in Norton, Chartley, and Barrowsville. Under the letter “R’’ is the following: Hope Rider: First female town manager in the United States. Elected to position as Town Manager of Mans- field in 1935. A real success in this position, as she always manages some way or another to have the last word! Under the letter ‘‘S’’ are three widely known personages. Marjorie Schools: Famous internationally as the only girl who kept that ‘Schoolgirl complexion.” Charles Sweet: Graduate of the Theological Academy for struggling young ministers, 1932. Accepted as permanent pastor at the Congregational Church of Norton, 1933. George Syat: Graduate of Harvard College, 1932. Now holding the position of assistant professor of mathematics at that institution. We now turn to the last letter in the book in which we are interested, the letter ““W’’, under which we read: Doris Warren: Co-Editor with Marjorie Nesbitt of the Mansfield News, 1934. Experience received at Mansfield High School, 1928. Edgar Whitehouse: Holder of the home-run record formerly held by Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees. ‘“‘Eggar’’ is playing right field for the Boston Red Sox, and his teeth and hair gleam just as brightly as in the good old days, as he comes out on the baseball diamond and acknowledges with grace- ful bows the plaudits of the fair ladies on the bleachers. Fred Wills: Paramount Film Company’s chief screen attraction. Matinee idol of thousands, yet he still drives his Ford! Ruth Wills: Employed as stenographer in the White Brothers Company, Foxboro, Mass. Last, but in the alphabet only, we search for news of Mary Wynn. We are not surprised to discover that she is the proprietress of an exclusive Business School for Girls, and teaches the daughters of wealthy business men how to help their fathers, and later their husbands, to spend their money. We close the book with a sigh of satisfaction over the success of our class- mates, and with just a tinge of regret because we are necessarily so widely sep- arated from each other, and from our happy school life together in the Mansfield High School, RR Class Will By GEORGE SYAT We, the Class of 1928 of the Mansfield High School, State of Massachu- setts, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and desirous of settling our school affairs, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, making null and void all other wills previously made by us.

MELLON “AL’’ SMITH “Doc’”’ LIVERMORE IRS Presentation of Class Gift By FREDERICK E. WILLS One of the many customs of the Mansfield High School is the presenting of a class gift. We, the class of 1928, gladly follow this practice. The class of 1927 presented a set of reference books in history and science with the hope that it would stimulate interest in creating a very much needed school library. Upon consideration we decided that the library should con- tain a set of Encyclop edias. When we looked up the price on these books, we found that we did not have enough resources to purchase them. We decided to establish a fund, to be called the “Encyclopedia Fund’’, with a wish that all future classes would contribute to this worthy cause. In behalf of the class of 1928, I present to the Mansfield High School a sum of money as our gift for this fund. RE Acceptance of Class Gift By THELMA S. WILLIAMS, ’29 Class of 1928, in behalf of the Mansfield High School, I wish to express my sincere gratitude for the gift which you have pr esented to us this evening. I am sure that future graduating classes will gladly contribute to this “Encyclopedia Fund’. Your choice of a gift shows that you realized the long felt need of reference books in our school. “These books will enrich the school life of those to follow you. Again we offer our sincere thanks. We congratulate you on your past accomplishments and send you on your way with kind and sincere wishes for your success. We bid you farewell and God-speed on your journey. 43 NON CNC NO? Class Ode Words by Roy IRVING MARTIN The day ts ending; the sun sinks low, Its rays ascending tn one last glow. The dawn tomorrow will be bright, A day of sunshine, joy, delight. Blithely we start at the break of day With hope and courage and laughter gay; We'll follow where the path may lead, True to ourselves in word and deed. Though cloudy skies may betoken rain We'll still press on, each our goal to gain. What matter if some rain does fall, Sunshine and shadow come to all. When to the top we have won at last, Our hardships over and sorrows past, A glorious view our eyes shall meet, A smiling world beneath our feet. CNC ONGC CONC) CEASS OBE. 1926 Words by R.].

We wish to welcome particularly the class of 1878. Every undertaking has a beginning. You were the class to make this beginning. You realized the value of learning and must have had a real desire for education in order to make this start. Fifty years ago you stood upon the threshhold of your lives, looking eagerly forward to the adventures of the future as we do tonight. Again we welcome you, for we know that you share our feelings at this time. To Mr. Robinson and the Faculty of Mansfield High School we extend a sincere welcome. It is through your willingness to impart your knowledge that we are able to be here tonight, ready to go forth into the world to make our way. We thank you for this help and also for the training which you have given us in clean sportsmanship—a training which will enable us to become better citizens of our country. Mr. Woods, we are glad to have you with us and we hope that you will enjoy these graduation exercises this evening. We are the first class to have the honor of welcoming you to its graduation, but we hope that we shall not be the last. We cannot thank you enough for your interest in us. We feel that you are a true friend of each individual in this class. Schoolmates, we welcome you here and hope that your school days will be as perfect as ours have been. . Members of the School Committee, we welcome you and thank you for the interest which you have shown in the class of 1928. It is because of your interest that you have placed the material needs of education at our disposal. Gathered here tonight, we number All the graduating class. Books are handed to the Juniors To take up the pleasant task. Friends and schoolmates, fun is over; Work to conquer rules the day: Some may find it full of laughter; Some may find it not so gay. Once again, dear friends, we thank you, Who have guided us aright. Nineteen twenty-eight will cherish Happy memories of this night. As our motto tells you, we are “Finished, yet beginning.” 47 Valedictory By MARTHA A. OGUL To-night we have gathered here to bid farewell to our teachers and friends. Though we are loathe to leave you, we are happy that we are now ready to start on life’s journey. To make a success of this journey, we must set a goal for ourselves and press toward it until it is achieved, for it is very difficult to attain success in any undertaking unless one has a definite purpose toward which he bends his efforts. What then should be our goal? The answer is, I think, an adequate life. First, we must be able to earn a living in our chosen vocation. This, however, is not all, important though it be. To live adequately, we must fit well into the life of ourcommunity. We must be good citizens. Lastly, we must know how to spend our leisure well. Our four years of high school have given us much of the preparation needed to live thus fully. Some of us are already prepared to earn a living; those who are not yet fitted for this are prepared for further study. From the various contacts we have made, and from the different class activities, we have learned the value of cooperation. Our sports have taught us the meaning of fair play. We have learned that it is better to lose a victory than to win one unfairly. From our history and civics classes we have derived the meaning and value of good citizenship. Through cultural subjects we have learned to appreciate good literature, and we have attained a broader interest in the life around us—an interest which will enable us to spend our leisure moments with profit and pleasure. At this time we bid farewell to our teachers. We appreciate their helpful suggestions both in our studies and in personal matters. To Mrs. Whitmore and Miss Hill, our class advisors for the past two years, we extend our heartiest thanks for their assistance so freely given. To the undergraduates who have so loyally supported us in our activities, we extend our parting thanks, and we hope that they in turn will succeed in all their undertakings. Classmates, now that the time has come for parting, let us do so with a smile. We are sorry that we have to say good-bye, yet who would wish to stay on? Life is always progressing, and we are all eager to go forward. Let us, therefore, continue our progress, always willing to learn from study, from the suggestions of our friends, and from our own experiences. 48 Superlatives BY VOTE OF THE CLASS BestslOOkin Ue O1r | saccgne ates oe ae Baia ce oe eal es ti, Se Alice Gray BestalOp kin 9, D0 Ve eee ee eee Ns Ee eee ee AS Frederick Wills Bestanatured pire: eeeeeeeee, ee ee ee ol Sylvia Conrad IDOSteEOALOT ECS, DO Va anh eeene, ee Peete eA aE ng ee ek eS, ?

Students having an average of eighty-five per cent or over are eligible. “The present mem- bers and officers are George Syat, President; James Coad, Vice-President; Edna Hiltz, Secretary-Treasurer; Alice Gray, Martha Ogul, Hope Rider, Mary Wynn, Dorothy Glines, Silvio Bellucci, Frederick Wills, Bernadette Hatch. This year the Society felt that it would like to do something worth-while. A cake sale was held, and the proceeds paid the expenses of delegates to the State Convention at Springfield, November 16, 1927. The delegates were Martha Ogul, Mary Wynn, Bernadette Hatch, Alice Gray, and Edna Hiltz. Miss Evelyn Hill went as chaperon. A short business meeting was held in the Technical High School. After this we were invited to inspect the school. From there we went to the Y. M. C. A. College, where we heard two very inspiring speakers. An enjoyable football game followed—Springfield vs. Rensselaer. We all hope that the Society of 1929 will be able to attend one of these conventions and receive the inspiration that we did. The Debating Club The Debating Club was organized September 30, 1927, under the super- vision of Mr. Robinson. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: Irving Green '29, President; John Houghton ’29, Secretary-Treasurer. The purpose of the club is to give the members both theory and practice in argumentation. A great many interesting debates have been held. “The members of the club have acted as judges of the arguments presented. “Topics of international importance have also been discussed informally. “[he members of the club have derived a great deal of pleasure and benefit from their experiences along this line of endeavor. Girls’ Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club was organized in the Spring of 1927, under the direc- tion of Mr. Robinson. At the end of the first year we had sung for a number of organizations in the town and had been received heartily. In September, 1927, we were reorganized, our members numbering about thirty-five. Miss Gilda Julian was elected Student Director. Our meetings have been very interesting. Although we have worked hard, the results have rewarded us. We have made two public appearances this year: the first, in October, when we sang before the New Century Club: the second, on May 18, at the Town Hall, when we took part in the High School enter- tainment. 5] ‘bheslarmnmGlub The Latin Club was organized September 23, 1927, under the direction of Miss Jones, the Latin teacher, with Miss Alice Gray ’28, President; Miss Helen Shepard ’29, Vice-President; Miss Gertrude Austin ’30, Secretary; and Miss Audrey Sowle ’30, Treasurer. After much thought and consideration, the name ‘‘Carpe Diem Sodalitas’’ was chosen. This means “‘Make the best of your advantages while you may”. The pin selected for our club is a small Roman helmet in gold, with the letters L. C. in blue. The purpose of this club is to discuss subjects for which time is not given in the Latin classes and to create interest in classical subjects. We have had many interesting meetings, in which we have made a study of Rome, Roman people and their homes, dress, customs, and holidays. We have also learned how many of our own customs are survivals of ancient Roman practices. Many short Latin plays have been given at our weekly meetings. The event of the year was the Latin Style Show, given in February, in the Assembly Room, before a large audience, composed of students, parents, and friends. From the mirthful compliments that we afterwards received, we al! felt that the program had been enjoyable as well as profitable. ‘The money in our treasury has been divided into two parts: one part to be spent in some amusement for ourselves; and the other for something for the Latin Class Room—a reference book or a picture. The ‘Carpe Diem Sodalitas’’ closes its enjoyable and successful year with a membership of twenty-one. 52 Book and Scroll Club The English Club was formed October 7, 1927, under the supervision of Miss Winnifred C. Lyman. We chose the following officers from our smal! group: Miss Eleanor Lovely, P.G., President; Miss Eleanor Ames '29, Secre- tary; Miss Hazel Wragg ’30 and Miss Barbara French '30, Program Commit- tee. After due consideration we selected for our name ‘‘The Book and Scroll Club = ‘The purpose of our club is to learn to appreciate more fully the finer things of literature. We first took up the study of the appreciation of literature as a whole, during which Miss Jennie Copeland gave a very instructive talk on this subject. Poetry was our next choice, and Miss Lyman, our advisor, told us many interesting points to be considered in the composition of good poetry. Miss Benedict, of Wheaton College, gave a very interesting talk on the life and works of Rupert Brooks. Miss Parker, another student, told us about three modern war poets, Allan Seeger, Jules Sandeau, and John McRae. One of our members, Miss Aiken, gave a very enjoyable talk on Joyce Kilmer, his life and works. During the study of the drama, Miss Cailiff, also of Wheaton, told us something about modern drama. One week, two scenes were presented by the members of the club, one from ‘The School for Scandal’, and another from “The Rivals’. At the next meeting we presented a scene from “The Doll’s House’, by Henrik Ibsen. The members of ‘The Book and Scroll Club’’ have enjoyed their many meetings together, and hope to continue next year with a larger membership. The Green Parrot During our brief existence we have made rapid and important strides for- ward. Our greatest accomplishment has been our acceptance as a member of the ‘Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publications’. We have sent delegates to three different meetings of this organization, with much profit to ourselves. Another distinct accomplishment was the appearance of a cover on the April issue. We of the ‘Green Parrot’’ staff extend our thanks to Mr. Sargent of the faculty, for designing such an attractive cover for us. The staff for 1928 is composed of the following students: Editor-in- Chief, Doris Warren '28; Assistant Editor, Marie Leary '29; Sporting Editors, Marion Valente ’29 and Bernard Jalbert 29; General News Editor, Ethel Cruser ’29; Alumni Editor, Dorothy O'Connor ’29; Circulation Megr., Harriet Ball ’29; Joke Editor, Irving Martin ’28; Social Editor, Irene Morse '29; Exchange Editor, Theodora Penesis '29. The following students were ap- pointed proof readers: Edith Conrod '29, Marion Cooney '29, Elinor Gra- ham ‘29, Mildred Nordberg ‘29. The staff wishes to express to Mr. Kelley, our faculty advisor, our appre- ciation of his interest and our gratitude for his competent assistance throughout our first year. 53 Boys’ Glee Club The Boys’ Glee Club was organized in October, under the direction of Mr. Wirt Phillips. The club was formed for the purpose of stimulating inter- est in music among the boys of the school. At first there were only a few mem- bers, chosen by our leader; but later volunteers joined us. Our present mem- bership is as follows: De Prizio and W. Pierce, first tenor; I. Green and C. Sweet. second tenor; Holmes and Cettomai, first bass; and Ring and B. Pierce, second bass. During the year we have studied five selections. At the entertainment given for the benefit of ‘The Athletic Association’ in the Town Hall, May 18, the club sang ““Onward March” and “Yachting Glee’. We wish to thank Miss Wragg and Miss Bowlin for their services as pianists. LE CERCTLE BRAN CAIS oe Le Cercle Francais The first meeting of Le Cercle Francais was held on October 7, under the leadership of Mrs. Mary B. Anderson. The following officers were elected: Edna Hiltz ’28, President; Mary Wynn ’28, Vice-President; Thelma Williams °29, Secretary; Sylvia Conra d ’28, Treasurer. The club pin is a small sterling silver pin with the letters L. C. F. on a red, white, and blue background. In February Mrs. Anderson left us to go to New Mexico on account of her husband’s health. Her place was taken by Miss Florence L. Cox. Many interesting meetings have been held, in which we have studied French people and their customs. Mr. Woods gave a very interesting talk on the city of Verdun. The club, though small, has been earnest and enthusiastic, and all the mem- bers feel that they have gained both pleasure and profit from it. 54 Ye Merrie Speeders’ Club “Ye Merrie Speeders’ Club’’ was organized October 7, 1927, under the leadership of Miss Evelyn Hill. The officers are President, Martha Ogul; Vice-President, Dana Gallup; Secretary and Treasurer, Bernadette Hatch. The object of the club is to increase speed and accuracy in typewriting. During the year the club has taken special finger drills, speed sentences, and alphabetical exercises. On Friday night, May 25, in the Assembly Room, the “Merrie Speeders’’ gave a two-act play, “Diogenes Looks for a Secretary’’. The purpose was to raise money to send delegates to take part in the Annual Shorthand and Type- writing Contest at Boston University, May 26. “Ye Merrie Speeders’ looks forward with pleasure to a continuation of its meetings next year, and to welcoming new members from the under classes. The Press Club The officers of the club are President, Doris Warren; Vice-President, Mildred Nordberg; Secretary, Florence Davis; Treasurer, Harriet Ball. Our first effort was the publishing of a column of High School notes in The Mansfield News each week. This gave the members of the club experience in collecting and arranging news. The next project was the publishing of our own school paper. “This was accomplished through the kindness of our Superintendent, Mr. Woods, who allowed the club to use the mimeograph in his office. As a result of this enterprise, the members of the club have learned a great: deal about reporting and the assembling of a school paper; and the student body has been kept informed of school news. Much credit for our success is due to Mr. Kelley, our advisor, who has been most helpful in guiding us through these new activities. 56 EVUele IGS Football Mansfield High School’s football team of 1927 was one of the best the school has ever produced. We held our own with the strongest school teams of this section, thanks to the fine spirit of the school, and the co-operation of the second team in helping to mould out a good first eleven. This year we were very fortunate in having the services of Mr. James Kelly, a former Boston College athlete, as our coach. Coach Kelly called out the football candidates the first day of school and thirty-five men reported. One of the big features of the year was the defeat we administered to our old rival, Foxboro, by the large score of 19-0.

It showed fine spirit and played the brand of football that is hard to beat. A banquet was tendered to the boys on January 10. At this banquet we had many guests of honor, among them: Principal E. W. Robin- son, Superintendent L. E. Woods, Mr. Jones of the School Committee, ‘“Benny”’ Murray, coach at Norwood High, John J. Drohan, ‘‘Boston Traveler’ sporting editor, and William ‘‘Bill’’ Doyle, ex-Boston College star. The last mentioned gave a talk on sportsmanship, which was enjoyed by all present. . Girls’ Basketball The Mansfield Girls’ Basketball team started the season with only two veterans, Captain Ogul and Gilda Julian. The team advanced rapidly under the able coaching of Miss Sawyer and Captain Ogul. Many close games were played, the season ending with Mansfield’s winning six games, and losing seven. The girls won two games from Stoughton and Bridgewater, and one game from West Bridgewater and North Attleboro. They lost two games to Fox- boro and Franklin, and one game to West Bridgewater, North Attleboro, and the Alumni. The outstanding players were Gilda Julian, Irene Morse and Florence Copek. The following have received letters: Captain Ogul, Gilda Julian, Flor- ence Copek, Dorothy O’Connor, Marion Murray, Irene Morse, Ernestine Mar- shall, and Manager Edna Hiltz. Miss Morse has been elected Captain and Miss Williams, Manager for the season of 1929. The team loses through graduation two players, Captain Ogul and Gilda Julian. 57 Boys’ Basketball The basketball team was greatly handicapped by the graduation of nearly all of the first team of last year, but when a call for candidates was issued, thirty men reported. ‘The letter men from last year were Captain Harlor, Nickerson, and Martin. After two weeks the squad was cut to fourteen men. Much credit is due to the second team, who came to practice every day and scrim- maged with the first team although they did not receive letters.

The boys went to work diligently and developed a strong, aggressive team, despite the fact that we lost much good material last year by graduation.

OGUL At the annual meeting of the Mansfield High School Alumni the following officers were elected for the year 1928: Mrs. Charlotte Allen, Pres.; Mrs. Marion Wheeler, Vice-Pres.; Mrs. Sadie Tucker, Treas., and John Gaffney, Sec’y. In reviewing our reunion of last year, it was very gratifying to realize what a success it was. This year, which is our Fiftieth Anniversary, the banquet was held on Saturday evening, June 16. Listen graduating classes! Keep your members together, or if you can't do that, why keep in touch with them somehow, for you will appreciate these reunions later on. JOHN C. GAFFNEY, Sec’y. ALUMNI BANQUET On Saturday evening, June 16, the Alumni Banquet was held, commem- orating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Mansfield High School. It was a very great success. Nearly four hundred Alumni and guests attended, from the first class, the Class of 1878, to last year’s class. The reunion spirit was manifest, and it brought Alumni from all of the New England States, namely, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Illinois, Ohio, California, and China. Following is the program that was presented: 1.
