We, the student body, would like all of those involved to know how grate- ful we are to them for providing us with the exceptional educational op- portunities we find here. We are indeed proud of this handsome building, the excellent faculty, and the modern facilities, equipment, and books that are ours to use. We realize that it is now our responsibility to take advant- age of this opportunity to develop intellectually, so that we may fulfill your expectations of us. Mr. Julius H. Mueller Our Administration Staff comes to us from four separate locations. Mr. Mueller was former Principal of Weston High School ; Mr. Burton was Director of Guidance in Keene, New Hampshire; Dr. Howard, originally from Vermont, was Chair- man of the Mathematics Department at Marblehead High School ; and Mr. Dresser was formerly Principal of Topsfield High School. Like their student body, these men have pooled their talents in an effort to make Masconomet a leader in the field of secondary school education. ADMINISTRATION Dr. Luther A. Howard Mr. Milton C.

Wight ( I Town Hall — East Boxford Boxford “Don’t close your eyes or you’ll miss it!” — Boxford, that is, a quiet, residential town ; an old-fashioned country community with a digni- fied beauty. Where is it? Boxford is in Essex County and is bordered by seven different towns. In land area it is the county’s largest town wi th 23.80 square miles, but it has a population of less than 2,000. This charming, rustic village was first settled around 1652 and was later established as a town on September 14, 1694. Boxford had then, and still has, the Town Meeting form of government. It has the honor of being the only town to have had one person, Harry Lee Cole, hold the office of town selectman for more than fifty years. Community Store — East Boxford War Memorial — West Boxford The Village Store — West Boxford Alcott-Cotton House — East Boxford Like all towns, Boxford has many interesting and prominent people, the most distinguished of whom is The Right Reverend Henry Knox Sher- rill, retired Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Churches. He is still a member of the World Council of Churches. We have several retired college professors here who are enriching our town with their integrity and schol- arship. Our most endearing citizen is Mr. Harry Moore of Depot Road. Al- though he is in his nineties, Mr. Moore is seen daily in all kinds of weather on trips between the Post Office and the General Store. He has a cheerful word to say to everyone he meets. In years gone by, at the mill pond, Mr. Moore cut wood which was used in the manufacture of the Wright Broth- ers’ planes. The First Congregational Church Holyoke — French House — East Boxford Staff Photographers — West Boxford We have two Congregational Churches, the first of which was es- tablished in East Boxford in 1702. Here, Alice Freeman Palmer, one-time president of Wellesley College, wrote the words of our Communion hymn. Although Boxford is a small town, it is bustling with activity, both social and civic. To mention a few activities, there are various church groups, the Grange, the American Legion, the Firemen’s Association, the P.T.A., and the Scouts. Nature-lovers find Boxford’s woods and many ponds enticing. Many enjoy the rewarding experience of walking through our bird sanctuary, while others prefer to hunt or fish where it is permissible. This is Boxford. Please keep your eyes open the next time you drive through !

Miss Betty Crocker Middleton Our first stop on this guided tour will be the site off Lake Street where the old Indian plantation was once located. One of the Indians there was called “Old William.” He owned this hill rising above Middleton Pond, where we now stand. This hill is still known as Will’s Hill, and the early white settlers residing hereabouts were known as Will’s Hill Men. As we look fr om atop this hill, we see one of the most picturesque scenes in Essex County — the mirror waters reflecting tho five pine groves surrounding its shores. Flint Public Library Middleton is small, scenic, and historic New England town, visited by tourists from all parts of the country. Today let’s take a short tour of my town. Let’s Start out from Middleton Square. If you stand here for only a few minutes, you will soon be impressed by the many commercial trucks, as well as the out-of-state cars, passing through town. Now you may be able to guess how the town got its name. Even in 1836 this was a half-way point in transportation for the tri-weekly stage coaches passing through on the Salem to Lawrence and Lowell route. That large colonial house on the corner over there is the Way Tavern, where the stages stopped to pick up pas- sengers and to change horses. Let’s go on down South Main street now to Mem- orial Hall. Today this building houses our town offices. Once the building was the Center School, the consolidated school for our town. In 1895, Middleton was a pioneer in the movement to abolish district schools and establish a consolidated school. The motto on our town seal is “Knowledge Is Power.” That’s why we feel strongly that Masconomet Reg- ional High School represents our continued interest in educational progress. War Memorial — Flint Public Library St. Agnes Church Continuing along down Old South Main Street, past the Old Parson Smith House, now owned by Mr. Charles Currier, we turn the corner into King Street and Mount Vernon Street, where Thomas Fuller, one of the first settlers had a claim in 1663. Mr. Fuller, a blacksmith was something of a bully, and once the Minister, Rev. Mr. Peters, failing to settle a dis- pute with him peacefully, took off his coat to give the rascal a sound thrashing. By turning left now onto Route 62, we come back to the Square. That brick building you see directly ahead of us is the Flint Public Library, the gift of Mr. Charles L. Flint of Boston. 42 s. t l Well, this completes our tour, but it has been such a small one that I hope you’ll re- turn again so that my friends and I can better acquaint you with Middleton. Edwai ' d Putnam House I CLUBS AND This year many student groups have been organized. Clubs in language and science have been formed in which students are given the chance to work and develop in areas they find especially interesting. Student service groups have also been formed which offer valuable aid to the school. Students voluntarily devote study hall and spare time to assist the library, the office, and the var- ious departments ; to act as receptionists ; to serve on the Art Service Club ; to operate audio-visual aids apparatus ; and to announce morning and afternoon bulletins. With the co-operation and assistance of several fac- ulty members, students have organized school publica- tions. They have worked together to produce a school newspaper — The Regional Review, a school annual — MITOBO, and a literary anthology — The Best from Mas- conomet. I ACTIVITIES The Music Department, under the expert direction of Mr. Donald Gay and Miss Jean Jarvie, offers a varied program to interested and talented students. The Choral- ettes, Masconomet Singers, Band, and Orchestra repre- sented us at the Northeast Music Festival in Woburn. Several other musical organizations have been formed — the girls’ vocal group, The Teen Tones ; a male vocal group ; and a dance band. In these various student organizations, students not only learn cooperation and are given the opportunity for further development in their own particular fields of in- terest, but also serve to aid, to educate, and to stimulate others at Masconomet.

Before the settlers arrived, the town was inhabited by the Agawam Indians, whose chief deeded all the Aga- wam territory to Governor Winthrop’s son for the sum of twenty pounds. Arrowheads are still found in some vicinities around town, but all signs of the two forts erected for the protection of the earliest settlers have disappeared. These forts were located on what are now the Fair Grounds and the Pine Grove Cemetery. The Indian name for Topsfield was She-ne-we-medy, which is translated as “The pleasant place by the flowing wat- ers.’’ The white men called it New Mead- ows, but in 1648, it was officially named Topsfield, for Toppesfield, England. Late in the seventeenth century, a tragedy occurred here that is still recalled. Some time previous to 1690, there had been a great dispute be- tween the Putnams of Putnamville (Danvers) and the Townes of Tops- field over the boundaries of their land. The case went to court and the Towne’s won, but the Putnams still persisted in cutting timber from their neighbor’s property. The Putnams had a twelve year old relative, and it was she who helped to start the witchcraft delusion of 1692. She accused the three Towne girls and Sarah Wildes of our town. Mary and Rebecca Towne and Sarah Wildes were hanged, but Sarah Towne escaped from jail and was saved. Mary Towne w T as called the “self-forgetful” because of her pleas to the governor, not for her own life but for the lives of her friends. Congregational Church From this town in April of 1775, the Min- ute Men left their plows to answer their country’s call for the fight for freedom. Records show that at least one townsman fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill ; still an- other was at the crossing of the Delaware with Washington. Topsfield Public Library In this town the early governors owned land and granted acreage to their families and friends. Here lived a French Acadian family that had been exiled from their beloved homeland. They were cared for by the citizens of Topsfield until they were allowed to return to Acadia. Here were born the father and the grandfather of the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith. Here, once upon a time, was a town with many industries, the main one being shoe manufacturing. Four shoe shops turned out 200,000 pairs of shoes in a single year. Copper mining, leather tanning, hatmaking, cider making, blacksmithing, coffin making, and slaughtering have also been carried on here. 16 Today Topsfield is a pleasant, residential town of green lawns, tower- ing trees, and neat houses. Our quiet is broken once each September by the famous Topsfield Fair, which is one of the oldest agricultural fairs in the country. Parson Capen House HAIL, MASCONOMET SONG OF MASCONOMET Hail ! Masconomet, Chieftain of old, Come to watch o’er us ; Your namesake behold. Your guiding wisdom We’ll keep alive. Toward this our goal May we earnestly strive. Hail ! Masconomet, Alma Mater dear, Guard you your heritage Throughout the years. Witness us now As our hearts we dedicate To honor thee, Our own Masconomet. (Arranged from Helen Steele’s “America, Our Heritage”) Masconomet’s Drama Society started its production year with three performances of Cornelia Otis Skin- ner’s Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. The cast and crew, including more than fifty members of the Society were under the direction of Mr. Paul Marcoux, who was aided for this production by Miss Whearty, Mr. Parker, Mr. Barry, Mr. Leach, and Mr. Meinelt. Since its inception in September, the Drama Society has held many meetings, given a reading of Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit, and technically produced many assemblies and outside shows. This first year has been a rewarding, exciting, and educational one for the Drama Society. From a group of unorganized students, most of whom had never be- fore worked in theater, has grown an experienced club, as evidenced by their willing cooperation in all phases of the group’s activities. Masconomet can well be proud of its award-winning Drama Society. The Drama Society’s second dramatic project was an original adaption of a modern version of Sophocles’ Antigone, designed for contest competition. After many weeks of rehearsal, Antigone was presented at the school. On March nineteenth, the group traveled to Swampscott High School for the regional competition of the Massachusetts High School Drama Guild. Mas- conomet was chosen to be one of the two schools to participate in the finals at John Hancock Hall in Bos- ton, the ninth and tenth of April. ! ' tTLj J 1 A i IM sJ f HK in jl m hi ATHLETICS Masconomet threw caution to the winds this fall when it decided to have a full program of athletics in its initial year of operation. The athletic department, under the able guidance of Mr. Benson and Mrs. Couhig, combined an excellent and skilled coaching staff with a group of young people with a will to win.
