THE SASSAMQN H9732 419111: Ulitnentieth Zgirtbhap THE first Sassamon made its appearance in April of 1912, under the direction of Miss Lorraine Eaton, now Mrs. Paul Alexander, of Toledo, Ohio. Miss Marie Nelson, now Mrs.. H. Corcoran Fisher, of Washington, D. C., was the editor, assisted by Robert Jordan and Raymond Cooper. The other members of the Board were: Class Editors: Chester Heinlein, 1912: Alice Burns fMrs. John Stritch of Warej, 1913: E. Payson Travis, 1914: James R. Bell, 1915. Athletic Editor: James W. Doon, 1913. Art Editor: Dorothy Trippe CMrs. Ray McKechnie of Dayton, Ohiol, 1913. Business Manager: Walter Dempsey, 1913. Associate: Dyke Quackenbush, 1914. The paper was enthusiastically received by the student body, for it had been several years since a school paper had been published. The earlier paper had been called The Laurel . The new paper received its name from John Sassamon, one of John Eliot's praying Indians. This name was submitted by Miss Katherine Nelson and was chosen by the student body in a contest. From 1912 to 1928 the paper was published four times each year. Then it was voted to publish a news- paper eight times a year and a senior magazine, or Year Book, in June. It is our hope that The Sassamon may enjoy many more years of successful prosperity and ever succeed in its purpose to keep the student body and their friends in close touch with all school activities.

TIM! E SASQSAMCDN H9732 Behinatiun WE, the Senior Class of 1932, lovingly dedicate this Year Book to Miss Mabel I. Dyer and Miss Malvina M. Brown. Miss Dyer has been a teacher of French in our High School for the past thirty-five years, and for the past seven years Head of the Modern Language Department. While we regret she has chosen to leave our alma mater, we wish her every happiness in the years to come. Those who come after us will miss her kindly smile and ready wit. Always kind, cheerful, and helpful, she has endeared herself to all who have known her. In her we have found a true friend, an understanding adviser, an ever-willing and ready helper in all we have wished or hoped to achieve. Miss Brown, a teacher of English in Natick High School, from 1918 to 1931, is well known to many High School and Grammar School graduates, for she was principal of the Mary Gilson School, from 1913 to 1916, and a teacher of Grade Nine, at the Wilson School, from 1916 to 1918. We regret Miss Brown was unable to be with us our final year, but we know her guiding spirit has influenced all of us. PAGE THRE
