8 THE SHIPBUILDER C ass M5100 p safvzozes In September, 1928, a group of twenty-seven ambitious young people entered Norwell High School. NYe were the largest class ever to enter its doors, namely: Almon Bruce, John Colburn, Mary Deliabio, Marion Hard- wick, Leonard Hatch, Evelyn Hender- son, Eleanor Maxwell, Emerson Mer- ritt, Margaret Mesheau, lda McManus, Earl Leavitt, Barbara Qsboru, Mary Usborne, Norman Robbins, Russell ll'eterson, Emily Smith, Gertrude Strachan, Frank Roman, Lloyd XYeare, Bernard White, Elmer Snowdale, lloratio Spinney, Nondino Mazzola, lYilder Claudette, Franklyn Totman, Yincent Lincoln, and Robert l'ike. lluring our whole four years we have lost only seven of this roll. I cannot relate the proverbial duck- ing in the brook as other classes have, for it was during our freshman year that a school law was made prohibit- ing hazing. .Xfter many trials and tribulations our greeness wore off, and we settled down on a business-like basis, placing the reins of our vehicle in the hands of limerson Merritt as l'resident, lfrauk Roman as Yice lil'CSltlL'lll, lda McManus as Secretary and Norman Robbins as Treasurer. lluriug the lirst year our class won honors as actors in the school play lfudymion. Uh! what tlreek tlods we were. Xthen the Basketball season began several of our members put the upper classmen in the background by their brilliant plays. Norman Robbins and lxmeisou Merritt have played on the team for four years. XYe excelled in baseball as well and liarl Leavitt has been manager of the team for four years. lYhen June arrived we took a trip to Nantasket Beach, accompanied fby Mr. Bagnall, our class advisor. A good time was a pleasant close to our tirst successful year. In the fall when we re-entered as Sophs we were greeted by a practically new faculty, Mrs. Turner having the only familiar face. -Xfter we had become acclimated and acquainted with our new teachers we found we had lost three of our class members. Nondino Mazzola had moved to Quincy. Frank Roman, our star baseball pitcher, had found employ- ment at the Fore River Shipyards. Franklyn 'l'otman was attending an art school in Boston. Horatio Spinnev and Iihner Snowdale were attending the Xorwell-Hanover .-Xgrieultural tlasses at Sylvester High School, so we still feel they are a part of us even though they will receive their diplomas from llanover, This year found us excelling again in dramatics and ath- letics. By june our bank account had swelled to such proportions that we de- cided to take a long ocean voyage to Provincetown. We were accompan- ied by Miss Ilurley and Mr. and Mrs. l'ayne. This was an extremely happy conclusion to our second year. ln the fall of 1030 eighteen dignified and talented juniors came back to N. ll. S. XYe were there in all things as the events of the year proved. In looking over our roll we found that Yincent l.incoln had left our institu- tion for that of the Boston Trade School. Robert l'ike was pursuing his much loved work, that 'of a farmer,
