Hadlock, who is completing his thirtieth year of teaching in the schools of Mans- field, we, the Class of 1936, affectionately dedicate this, our year book. It is our sincere hope that Mr. Hadlock may continue to teach in the Mans- field High School for many years to come. A pleasant, jovial, accommodating gentleman, who has the faculty of making students smile in the midst of their difficulties and anxieties, Mr. Had- lock is esteemed most highly by all the pupils in our school.

YEAR BOOK EDITORIAL Caesar remarked upon crossing the Rubicon, during his march on Rome, ‘“The die is cast.’ How well do these words become us, the Class of 1936, who are about to lift to our shoulders the great burden of re- sponsibility that every one must accept. We have chosen Forward as our motto. It is a wise choice, for it implies courage and persistence, virtues that we shall often need in order to surmount the obstacles which lie before us on the rough road of life. Forward has been our march. May it ever continue so. [6] M. H. S.

English, Italian e273 NES Hos: YEARW BOOK SoU SEOR by Nina Prohodsky A philosopher once wrote: “In going forward from year to year, one of the secrets of a true life lies in cutting loose from the past. No year is good enough to be a standard for the one that comes after it. Each new year should be a step in the mountain climb, lifting our feet a little higher.” Tonight the Class of 1936 is about to take another step upward in the climb toward its ultimate goal. For most of us this step brings to a formal end our preparation: we have laid the foundation of our life work and are ready to enter the field of our vocations. Some, however, will continue their education to prepare for professional work. But, for us all, the training we have received in high school will be valuable. We cannot take this step, which seems tonight so definitely to cut us loose from the past, without a word of gratitude to our parents, teachers, and friends. To our parents who have worked with us through all these difficult years and have sacrificed so much for us, we wish to express our deepest affection. We thank our teachers for all that they have done for us and for their patience and kindness in helping us to solve our problems. ‘To our friends, we wish to express our appreciation for the kindly advice and encouragement that they have always given to us. We, the Class of 1936, realize tonight, more than ever before, how indebted we are to our parents, teachers, and friends for the opportunities that have been ours; and we extend to you all a most sincere welcome to our graduation exercises. [28 ] Views YEARS BOOK CLASS HISTORY by Kathryn Muriel Ballou Tonight, with no little feeling of regret, we are leaving Mansfield High School and preparing to take our first real glimpse at life. It is dificult indeed to realize that our three years together, as the Class of 1936, have swiftly passed away. Happy, unforgettable years they have been, and to recall them brings to us a feeling of pride and joy. It was a beautiful September day in 1933 when we started upon the long trail to graduation. Light-hearted and gay, we began our career under the direction of Mr. Robinson, our principal. At first we were rather boisterous and confused, but soon the hubbub subsided and we went blithely to work. We were not long in discovering that a sophomore is, at the most, a very insignificant person. It disappointed us that the seniors and juniors did not seem so pleased as we were over our advent into their midst. In October we elected Bruce Vickery president, Gertrude Griswold vice-president, Lena Garofano secretary, and Francis Bellew treasurer. Miss Shepard was made our class adviser. When we had organized, we proceeded to show the teachers and the upperclassmen just what they could expect from us, unimportant though we were. Before many weeks had elapsed, we furnished the football team with three letter men: Bruce Vickery, Bruno Julian, and Charles Williams. Early in the fall five of our members—Aaron Bearcovitch, Priscilla Cahill, Odd Carlsen, Madeline McCoy, and Amelia Mooney. in obtaining positions on the staff of the Green Parrot. succeeded Later on in the year our girls’ basketball team won second place in the interclass tournament by defeating the seniors. “The members of the squad were Lena Garofano, Dorothy Crook, Nina Prohodsky, Christina Baxter, Amelia Mooney, Virginia Cullen, and Gertrude Griswold. In March came the speaking contest, in which we really won distinc- tion. Four of our class captured all the honors: the first prizes were awarded to Emma Mello and Edward Ochsner; the second, to Helen Smith and Gelino Repucci. We brought an end to our achievements for our sophomore year by producing two letter men for the baseball team—Francis Bellew and Bruno Julian. Having accomplished all this while we were fulfilling our scholarly duties, in June we felt ourselves entitled to the long summer vacation ahead. In September, however, we were back at Mansfield High School with all our former zest and vigor. We sincerely regretted Mr. Robinson’s [ 29 } Mo Hos: YEAR- BOOK resignation as principal, but we were glad to learn that Mr. Green had been appointed his successor. At our first class meeting, early in October, we elected Francis Bellew president, Lawrence Cundall vice-president, Martha Andrews secretary, and Bruce Vickery treasurer. Miss Driscoll became our adviser. Being juniors, we felt very important. It was good to be rid of the hated designation “only a sophomore.” We had a reputation to uphold, and with this in mind, we plunged into another year of activity. We got off to a flying start with Captain Bruno Julian, Richard Rob- inson, Charles Williams, Weston Willard, and Bruce Vickery contributing their skill in football to the glory of the Class of 1936. Soon we looked forward to receiving our class rings. A committee was appointed to select several samples for our inspection; and then, after much ado, we made our choice. A short time after this many of us were seen proudly displaying the new treasures to our friends. Again in our junior year several of the class obtained positions on the Green Parrot. We boasted sixteen members serving on the staff of the school publication. When the basketball season was ended, once more our girls had won second place in the interclass tournament. “Those who played on the team were Lena Garofano, Dorothy Crook, Christina Baxter, Geraldine Kane, Amelia Mooney, Marian Wills, Victoria Moro, Priscilla Cahill, Margaret Currivan, and Mildred Petrillo. In this year’s speaking contest we scored another victory: we had three winners. First prize for the girls was awarded to Helen Smith; and second, to Emma Mello. Gelino Repucci won the second prize for the boys. In April we began to plan the senior reception, with Francis Bellew, our president, acting as general chairman. In our efforts we were aided greatly by Miss Driscoll and Miss Henchel. The success of this event, which took place in the latter part of June, marked the climax of a year of triumphs for the Class of 1936. With summer approaching, our thoughts again turned to vacation, and we realized that soon we should be enjoying a well-earned rest. As juniors we had worked hard, and we needed to regain our spent energy in order te make the most, of our last year in Mansfield High School. Finally the great day arrived! Early in September, 1935, we returned to school as seniors! We were elated over our dignified position and glad to be busy again. Since there was a great deal of work to be done, we held our organi- zation meeting in September, instead of October. Francis Bellew was re- elected president; Martha Andrews, secretary; and Bruce Vickery, treas- urer. Geraldine Kane was voted the new vice-president. Miss Jones and { 30 | MH: 3s. YEAR BOOK Miss Shepard were appointed our class advisers. Early in the year Weston Willard was made editor-in-chief of the Green Parrot and working with him were fifteen other seniors. During the fall ten of our boys—Captain Charles Williams, Bruno Julian, Richard Robinson, Weston Willard, Bruce Vickery, George Cardin, Francis Bellew, William Markt, Justin Dennehy, and Manager Charles Morse—distinguished themselves in football. Later, at a dance in the ‘Town Hall, they were awarded letters in recognition of their achievements. Thanksgiving Day the football season closed, and that very evening we gave our class play, Seventeen. Owing to the ability of the entire cast, and to their diligent work, the presentation of this comedy was indeed a highlight in our history. The leading parts were taken as follows: Lola Pratt, Helen Smith; Jane Baxter, Evelyn Unger; Mrs. Baxter, Geraldine Kane; May Parcher, Gertrude Griswold; Ethel Boke, Madeline McCoy; Mary Brooks, Margaret Currivan; William Baxter, Edward Ochsner ; Johnnie Watson, Weston Willard; Mr. Baxter, Gelino Repucci; Genesis, Aaron Bearcovitch; Mr. Parcher, Frank Thomas; George Crooper, Bruce Vickery; Joe Bullit, Ralph Forrester; and Wally Banks, Edward Morse. At a meeting held in January we voted to have a year book. Shortly after this the staff was announced. Gelino Repucci was appointed editor- in-chief ; Clinton Andrews, business manager; and Mary Cogell, assistant business manager. In our senior year we fared much better in basketball than we had previously. “Three boys were awarded letters: Leslie Glines, Bruno Julian, and Manager Aaron Bearcovitch. The girls won the interclass tournament, with the following members of the team receiving letters: Priscilla Cahill, Dorothy Crook, Christina Baxter, Marian Wills, Amelia Mooney, Lena Garofano, Victoria Moro, Mildred Petrillo, and Margaret Currivan. About the beginning of March we seniors, beginning to feel rather “oraduation-conscious,” met to discuss plans for commencement. Although we found it dificult to picture ourselves dressed in caps and gowns, we established a precedent by voting to wear this academic garb at our bacca- laureate service and also at graduation. As spring approached, we began to wonder who would be the recipi- ents of the class honors. Our curiosity was soon appeased, for at a class meeting held early in April, Mr. Green announced Edward Ochsner the valedictorian and Nina Prohodsky the salutatorian. The class voted Muriel Ballou historian, Geraldine Kane prophet. Charles Williams was selected to draw up the class will. Helen Smith was chosen to write the words to the class song; and Edward Morse, to compose the music. We selected French Blue and Chinese pink for our class colors, and the pink rose for our flower. After a great deal of deliberation, we decided upon the brief but dramatic motto Forward. srt M. H. S. YEAR BOOK At the speaking contest, held in May, we were very ably represented by Helen Smith, Geraldine Kane, Edward Ochsner, and Gelino Repucci. Helen Smith and Gelino Repucci captured both first prizes for us. Our reputation was upheld admirably in baseball this season by Cap- tain Francis Bellew, Bruno Julian, William Markt, Arthur Alden, Lesli2 Glines, Justin Dennehy, and Charles Morse, the manager. In June we attended our baccalaureate service in the Methodist Church. The solemnity of the occasion impressed us all, for we realized, as never before, the responsibility that would soon be ours. Tonight our hearts are filled with mingled joy and sorrow, as gradua- tion brings to a close the history of the Class of 1936. CLASS PROPHECY by Geraldine Kane Early one beautiful June morning I sat in the luxurious lounge of a big airdrome, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the trans-oceanic airship which was expected at any moment. My excitement was due to the fact that my old friend, Mildred Klavin, was returning from a ten-year so- journ in the South Sea Islands to accept a position that had been offered her in Washington, D.C. She had been made president of the American Red Cross Association, in recognition of the great work she had done in estab- lishing hospital bases in the tropics. I wondered, as I waited there, what she would think of the vast changes that had taken place in our little town of Mansfield since she left it, shortly after her graduation from high school. And to think that she was to land at an airdrome owned and managed by one of the members of her own class of 1936! For it was David Adelstone, of Adelestone Airlin es, Inc., who had established this great air terminal. Every now and then, from where I sat, I was able to catch a glimpse of Charlotte Ulm flitting about in the executive ofice. She was personal secretary to Mr. Adelstone himself. The roar of airplane motors outside was deafening. The gentleman sitting opposite me put down his paper and started to pace restlessly back and forth in front of the window. His handsome face was vaguely familiar. I did not have to wonder very long about his identity, for in a moment a page entered and said to him, “Your private plane is waiting, Mr. Vickery.” { 32 ] M. H. 8. YEAR BOOK They hastened out of the room and left me gasping with surprise. ‘That must be Bruce Vickery, I thought, the wealthy automobile manufac- turer. I suppose that he was very busy, for later I learned that his partner, the illustrious Charles Williams, a multi-millionaire, was away on a Mediter- ranean cruise. I was proud indeed to think that they had both been members of my class. “Their 1946 model of the Chieftain was the most popular and fastest-selling car on the market. After that little episode I didn’t have long to wait before Mildred’s plane came into view and everyone rushed out onto the field to watch it make a perfect three-point landing. The wheels had hardly stopped turn- ing before my friend was out of the plane and in my arms. When our first hearty exchange of greetings was over and we were on the way to my car, she exclaimed, “Oh, Gerry, guess who our pilot was on the trip! None other than George Cardin. And one of the passengers told me that he is reputed to be the best flyer in the world. Remember how interested he used to be in airplanes when he was in school?” She kept up a steady stream of questions all the way to my home. I finally interrupted her, ‘“Wait a minute—suppose you tell me what you have been doing down in the South Seas all these years. You've got a whole day to find out what you want to know about your classmates. Besides, I have kept a scrapbook for you, which will tell you many of the things that you have inquired about.” Then she proceeded to tell me of her adventures. I learned in the course of our conversation that she had left Eleanor Underwood as superin- tendent of the largest hospital in Tahiti; also that Muriel Ballou had gone down there to write a book on tropical fish. “Do you know,” Mildred continued, “I think I should have been bored to death had it not been for my radio. Every morning I used to ,listen in on the short wave to Madeline McCoy broadcasting her daily “Homely Hints to the Husky Housewife. She must be an awfully good cook. And speaking of cooking, I’ve often wished I could buy some of those widely-advertised Spilewski French pastries. I understand that Malvena has started a cooking school in addition to her chain of bakeries. Tell me, do you ever listen to that funny comedy team of Glines and Unger on the radio? “They couldn't, by any chance, be the same Leslie Glines and Evelyn Unger that we knew in school, could they?” “The very same,” I assured her. By this time, we were approaching my home. Mildred noticed and remarked on a pretty little new house on the same street. “That is where Alice Caron lives now,” I told her. ‘Later on I will drive you around and show you the homes of some of the other girls that have changed their names and settled down to married life.” When we arrived home, the first thing I did was to turn on the radio. fes3nl MAHS Say EARS BOOK As I did so, Mildred exclaimed, ‘““My, what a marvelous radio! What kind is it?” “A Carlsen,” I replied. “Oh, a Stromberg-Carlson?”’ she queried. “No,” I said, “an Odd Carlsen. Odd has always loved experiment- ing with radios ever since he was in high school and now he himself is one of the foremost makers of radios in the country.” I stopped talking, for a familiar voice was issuing from the loud- speaker. With delight I watched the look of surprise on Mildred’s face as she listened to the chromium-plated voice of the air, Robert Booth, an- nouncing: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, you will now hear a broadcast of the news through the courtesy of the Norma Annese Laboratories, makers of Norma beauty creams for normal people.” The only news item my guest seemed to take any interest in, however, was one which meant very little to me. It was as follows: “The captain and crew of the S. S. Fieldsman today effected a thrilling rescue of the passengers on a boat loaded with dynamite. In doing so, they seriously endangered their own lives.” “Oh, he’s so courageous,” sighed Mildred. “Who?” I asked, puzzled. “Why, Albert Dill, of course. Didn't you know that he is the captain of the S. S. Fieldsman? He often used to stop at Tahiti with car- goes of American commodities. It was on his ship that the archaeological expedition of Thomas, the famous explorer, sailed for Pitcairn’s Island.” I knew that she was referring to Frank Thomas, another of our class- mates, who had sought “the royal road to romance’’ after he left school. In the afternoon, as a little diversion for my guest, I took her out for a ride around the city. The progress that Mansfield had made during the past ten years astounded her, as well it might. Instead of a sleepy- looking little town she found a thriving metropolis. She was also surprised to learn that Mansfield had changed its form of government. “Edward Morse is the new mayor,’ I told her. “By the way, he’s called the “Musical Mayor.” His pal, Winthrop Gegenheimer, is the president of the Board of Aldermen. Clinton Andrews is in the city government, too. He is the chief of police; so you had better be careful how you conduct yourself around these parts.” “Are there any more of our classmates in the City Hall?” she asked. “Oh yes,” I replied, “Marion O’Connor is serving as chairman of the Board of Education. And do you remember Dorothy Morton? Well, she has charge of the telephone switchboard there.” As we drove on down Main Street, I noticed that Mildred seemed to be searching for something in particular. ‘‘What are you looking for?” said I. { 34 | VISE aany BARS BOOK “Where, oh where is our dear old M. H. S.? That’s where it used to be, but all I can see there now is a gay-looking cabaret.” “The High School is located at Memorial Park, and what you see there is the Hot Cha Cabaret, owned and operated by Philip Roman and Bruno Julian,” I explained. ‘They spent so many happy days in the old high school that they thought they would establish their business on that site. How would you like to go there tonight?” “T’d just love to,” she responded enthusiastically ; “but do tell me more about the new high school.” “Well, as I have said, it is up at Memorial Park and it really is a very beautiful structure. They have instituted several new courses since we were in school. One is a driving course called the ‘Art of Pedestrian Dodging. This is taught by Ralph Forrester, who, they say, is next choice for state registrar of motor vehicles. Another splendid course is the one they are now offering in personality development. Ida Certuse, the teacher of this subject, is a living example of the goal her students are striv- ing for. “Near the high school is an excellent business college called Old Glory Secretarial School. , It was founded by Nina Prohodsky and Pauline Porteous. The girls’ basketball coach for both schools is Lena Garofano.” After I had given her this lengthy explanation, we rode on in silence for a while. When we were passing the Pastime Theater (still the best show in town), Mildred suddenly let out an excited squeal. “I didn't know that Helen Smith was in the movies! ‘The billboards say she is the star in a picture called “The Sodom Flame.’ ” I apologised for not having told her about Helen before. “It has become so natural to see her name on the billboards,” I explained, “that I didn’t even think to tell you that she is the movie favorite of America. She has filled the place left by the retirement of Zasu Pitts.” Thence we drove out into the country a little way because I wanted to show my friend the beautiful track being built by Nando Melchiorri for dog races. After she had seen and admired it, I turned the car toward home. By this time it was four o’clock and we were glad of the chance to rest and to have a nice quiet chat before going out to supper at the Hot Cha Cabaret. We talked of many things, among them, Mildred’s new posi- tion in Washington. “You won't be without friends down there, either,’ I reminded her. “You know, Martha Andrews holds an important executive position in Washington. She is chairman of the National Committee on Social Wel- fare, and judging from all accounts, I’d say that she has done more than any one else in the country to better the living conditions of the ‘f orgotten man.’ Strangely enough, William Markt is also in Washington at present.” ‘What in the world is Billy doing there?” Mildred asked. [35] VERE a AR DOO “He is Secretary of the Treasury. I think that he is the youngest member of the President’s Cabinet. Anyway, they say he is the most efficient. Christina Baxter certainly made good use of her commercial training. She now holds the position of personal secretary to the Presi- dent.” “Say, my friend suddenly interposed, ‘where is that scrapbook you told me about?” “Why, I had completely forgotten it!” I exclaimed. “I'll get it right away.” To her delight, I soon produced the bulky book. “Together, we looked at it. One section was filled with wedding invitations and announcements. Among them were those of Louise Smith, Mildred Hodges, Elsie White- head, Mildred Petrillo, Marjorie Ellis, Elizabeth Engler, and Annie Mos- caritolo. { had accumulated a vast collection of newspaper clippings, but be- fore we started to read these, we turned to the section devoted to pictures. The one which held Mildred’s interest the longest was a fashion photograph in which two of our classmates were the models. Above it was the caption ‘What the well-dressed senior will wear at g raduation time.” ‘The picture showed Josephine Rodrick attired in a smartly-styled cap and gown, and beside her Virginia Plausse wearing a beautiful evening gown. Beneath the picture was written, “Two of New York’s famous mannequins model clothes designed by Gertrude Griswold, fashion expert and dress des gner of Paris, New York, and Mansfield.’ Another picture on the same page showed an elaborate garden display at the Annual Spring Flower Show in Boston. We learned from reading the accompanying article that it was designed by Miss Priscilla Cahill, eminent horticulturist and lecturer on gardens; also that it was an exact duplicate of a garden on Miss Cahill’s country estate, where she writes all her beautiful pastoral poetry. When we had looked at most of the pictures, my friend remarked, “I notice that many of these bear the letters W. W. Do you know what studio that stands for?” “That,” said I, “stands for Weston Willard. Why, he is one of the most sought-after photographers in the whole country. He takes such distinctive pictures, don’t you know. Even the movie actresses have him take their photographs for the fan magazines. He is very popular with the ladies, I hear.”’ Next, we turned to the newspaper articles that I had saved. There were so many that we hadn’t time to read them all but we did manage to scan the following: The first clipping, which was taken from the Boston Transcript, was dated Jan. 2, 1946. Boston, Mass.—Judge Leon Hamilton will open proceedings here to- incest M. H. S. YEAR BOOK morrow in a momentous trial, in which Attorney General Gelino Repucci will prosecute. The next two from the New York Herald Tribune read thus: West Mansfield, Mass.—A big testimonial dinner was given here last night, April 1, in honor of Miss Margaret Clare, a portrait painter of wide repute. Many complimentary speeches were made by outstanding men and women. Chief among the speakers were Albert Macomber, the distinguished philanthropist, Margaret Currivan, the beautiful artists’ model, who poses for all Miss Clare’s magazine-cover por- traits, and Marian Wills, an authority on child psychology, who lectures extensively on that subject. Mary Cogell, radio monologist, also hon- ored the assemblage with her presence. New York, City, N. Y. May 1oth—Dr. Edward Louis Emil Ochsner, Jr. was today awarded the 1946 Nobel Prize for Medicine. The doctor made the statement to the newspapers that he intends to fly immediately to Vienna, where he is preparing in his scientific labora- tories to startle the world with a discovery regarding Euthanasia. There were two short extracts from the Mansfield News, dated May 3, 1946: Chicago, Il]—In a contest held here last night Miss Audrey Van Wormer was crowned the champion typist of the world. Miss Van Wormer told reporters, “I won't be satisfied until I am also the shorthand champ, and from that it will be an easy step to the editor- ship of the Gregg Writer. Mansfield, Mass.—The Mansfield News is happy to announce that it has secured the services of Dorothy Crook, who will. edit the needle- work page. Miss Crook is the editor of the Ladies’ Home Companion. In still another section of the scrapbook that I had reserved for sports clippings we found the following column, written by Aaron Bearcovitch, the famous sports commentator. It was easy to see that Aaron’s great suc- cess was due to the natural way in which he expressed himself and the strain of personal enthusiasm that ran through his writings. ‘“‘Your com- mentator has just attended the most exciting game of tennis he ever wit- nessed in his life. It was the match in which Victoria Moro battled for the Tennis Championship of the World and won! Boy! Is she fast! Ooooh! . . . Speaking of speed, that girl Mooney is going to run away with the Olympic track titles for women next year. Amelia is also a whiz at baseball, basketball, and tennis. In fact, she rates a close second to the famous Babe Didrikson of a few years ago . . . Has anybody here seen Williams? Well, I have, and that boy is going places in a big way! In case you don’t know whom I’m talking about, it’s Lewis Williams. He is headed for the featherweight boxing title, or I miss my guess. Friends 1a 78 Mie Hie op OARS BOOTS of his will remember that he began training when he was in high school, going in to the Boston Y. M. C. A. every week . . . Psst!—I’m going to let you in on a baseball secret! Manager Charles Morse of the Mans- field Green Sox tells me that the coming World Series is as good as won for his club. He is relying on his star pitcher, Francis Bellew, to win for them. By the way, that DGellew boy is worth watching. His rise to national fame as a ball player has been spectacular, to say the least.” There were many more such items of interest to sports fans, all writ- ten in the same rambling style, but we did not have time to read them. It was getting quite late and we did not want to miss the floor show at the cabaret, so we hurried down town. We were delighted when we reached the Hot Cha Cabaret to find that as a special attraction that evening they were having in place cf their regular orchestra, Richard Robinson and his Rhythm Rattlers. Appearing with him and his band were the beautiful torch singer, Mary Rathbun, and James O’Donnell, more popularly known as the Whistling Hill-Billy of the Air. The rest of the entertainment consisted of some peppy dance numbers by the pupils of Virginia Cullen’s exclusive School of the Dance. During the show Mildred leaned over to me and said, “I think this place is positively jolly, don’t you? I wish we might meet some of our classmates in here. But look! Isn’t that Philo De Lutis over there?” I looked and sure enough, there was Philo. We beckoned to her to come over and sit with us. This she did. She told us that she was having a vacation from her duties as head librarian in the East Mansfield Library. Mildred asked her about her friends Angelina Fornaciari and Rose Laud- isio. She replied that Angelina had remained an ardent Latin scholar and Was now in Italy investigating certain phases of Vergil’s life, and that Rose had a wonderful position as buyer in the cosmetics department of a big store in Boston. Upon looking more closely at the people at the tables, we were able to discern several of our friends. At one Norman Griffin, the noted sleuth and writer of blood-curdling detective stories, sat chatting with Lawrence Cundall, a dealer in Chieftain cars. Justin Dennehy, the in- genious inventor, sat alone in a corner, no doubt thinking up some new la- bor-saving devices. At still another table sat Charles Smith, the contractor who built the new Mansfield High School, with Arthur Alden, the owner of the swanky Alden Plaza Hotel, and Dorothy Robertson and Rose Chippola, proprietors of a nation-wide chain of Chippola-Robertson beauty salons. Once we caught sight of Winona Bernier and George Brani- gan dancing together and my friend asked me if I knew what business each was engaged in. I told her that George, not content with being the owner of a chain of grocery stores, had gone into the taxicab business and was now the senior partner in a company which used only Oldsmobile son Moi: 2. YEAR BOOK cabs, and that Winona, as the result of winning a prize of ten thousand dollars in a beauty contest, was now a lady of leisure for a while. When, we left the cabaret, Mildred and I were sad to think that there remained only a few short hours for us to spend together; but we agreed that it had been a full day and a merry one. When we finally parted at the airport at daybreak, I gave her a book to read on her journey—a biography of John Creeden, the philosopher, written by Mary McKee. ‘The roar of the airplane motors soon drowned out the sound of our farewells and the monstrous bird-like creature soared far up into the sky. The buzzing was still in my ears when I woke with a start to find that the sun was shining full upon me and that my alarm clock was ringing with imperious insistance. I realized that it was the morning of graduation day and that I should have to wait twelve long hours before I could tell you all about my wonderful prophetic dream.

In witness whereof, We, the Class of 1936, the Testators, set our hands and seal, this tenth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six. Witnessed by: President of Junior Class—Joseph Lucy President of Sophomore Class—Fred Vallett Wiese Y PAR BOOK VALEDICTORY by Edward Louis Emil Ochsner As classmates, we do not say to-night, ‘“Auf Wiedersehen, dear schcol’’: the time has come at last when we must say our first true good-bye. Good-bye forever, dear school; we shall never again enter your portals as students. You send us forth this evening, the product of your labor. As we realize that we are about to commence a new life in a very different’ environment, we think of many things. We visualize cur aspi- rations come true. We wonder what our fate is to be. We review our plans and add to them. . We survey the past and dwell upon fond memories. In these memories we see the day on which we chose our motto, Forward. Tis but a short one, and yet, it means much. It implies the desire to progress, a propensity of the American people since the beginning of this nation. The rapid rise of the United States shows the spirit of progress that existed in the time of our forefathers. The present position of our country tells us that the spirit still lives. This same spirit we who are being graduated from the Mansfield High School have shown in choosing our motto, Forward. If we are to progress very far, however, we must build good personal- ities early in our lives. “To do this, we must cherish a worthy ambition, which coupled with will-power and determination will facilitate the ac- quiring of other elements of good character. Prominent among these are honesty with self and with others, a desire to practice the Golden Rule, unselfishness, cooperation, and a love for that which we are doing. At some time in our lives, we may wish, as most people do, to ascertain whether or not we have gone Forward. In judging ourselves, we should not be misled by the popular conception of progress. Common opinion tells us that only the one who has attained wealth or renown has progressed. There is no truth in such a belief. Anyone can go Forward by rendering service to mankind. Service will be given in many ways. Probably some of us will aid suffering humanity; others will carry out the duties of public officials; part will provide enjoy- ment for the people; others will further education; and perhaps some will increase the spiritual faith of their fellowmen. It is to be hoped that all of us will gain happiness through performing kind deeds, through being charitable, or through making others happy. Classmates, let us proceed toward our chosen goal in such a way that in years to come it will be said that the Class of 1936 really went Forward. To-night we are gathered for the last time as a unit. We look upon an audience composed of parents, of relatives, of friends, of teachers, and of [ 43 J M. H. 8S. YEAR BOOK schoolmates. We try to express our gratitude, but no words can describe our true feelings. On this evening, our last together, we extend to you assembled here a sincere “Thank you,’ and we say farewell to our past pleasant connections, hoping that we shall be able to apply what our school-life has taught us. Farewell, teachers and schoolmates. Ours is a new course. We go Forward. Presentation of the Class Gift by Francis Henry Bellew For the past six years the graduating class has presented to Mansfield High School the portrait of a president of the United States. We, the Class of 1936, in continuance of this custom, are presenting to our Alma Mater this portrait of Thomas Jetferson, third president of the United States. Jefferson, a Virginian, was a graduate of William and Mary College and the founder of the University of Virginia. During his ministry to France he was appointed secretary of state by George Washington. He was the author of one of the greatest documents in American history, the Declaration of Independence, and he also contributed his share to the draw- ing up of the Constitution of our land. Jefferson was president of the United States for a period of two terms—from 1801-1809. At this time, when we are being continually reminded of Jefferson by allusions to his democratic principles, it seems most appropriate that we should present to our school a portrait of this illustrious president. 1444 Mea. 5.

The Latin Club, Carpe Diem Latina Sodalitas, under the leadership of Miss Jones, has almost completed another successful season. Among the four meetings held at the High School, probably the most enjoyable one was the Roman banquet, with a program commemorating the bi- millenium of the illustrious Roman poet Horace. At the October meeting, after the initiation of the new members, Miss Copeland gave a very interesting talk on “Roman Remains in Eng- land.” The Latin, French, and English clubs met together at Christmas. On March 19, a program was presented by the Latin Club in the Town Hall. The ninth-year Latin class of the Junior High School and the Norton Latin Club were entertained in May. Now, the club looks forward to its annual picnic, the last event of the year. [ 49 } M. H. 8.

In November Miss Mildred Hannon spoke to the club about Spain, and Miss Helen Paine gave a talk on her course at the Sorbonne. At the February meeting Miss Thompson, a student at Wheaton College, spoke about her life in France and China. The Christmas meeting was held jointly with the Latin and English clubs. [ 50 | M. H. 8.

On Thursday, December 5, 1935, juniors and seniors taking a com- mercial course were called together for the purpose of organizing a com- mercial club. ‘This group elected officers who compiled the constitution and by-laws under which the club operates. “The club adopted the name Commercial Whirl. Membership in the club is based upon a scholastic standard and is limited to juniors and seniors taking the regular commercial course as out- lined in the M. H. S. course of studies. “The Commercial Whirl has two purposes: first, to advance commercial education in M. H. S. by promoting a program aside from regular class activities; and secondly, to develop through social activities a spirit of cooperation among commercial students. At recent meetings the club has had as guest speakers Mr. Fred ‘Tucker, chairman of the school committee, and Mr. George DePrizio, of the faculty. Poze M.

The newly organized Greggites have held six meetings at the High School. At the first meeting the members chose a name for the club and elected their oficers. At following meetings the by-laws of the club were drawn up. ) The main object of the club is two-fold: first, to encourage the mem- bers to accomplish some one outstanding thing for the benefit of the school ; and secondly, to promote their interest in increasing their speed in steno- graphy and typewriting. 1 52) M.
