UJie Go on in ll)esi£oro ScJioo h)esi6oro JKassacJiuseiis June 1962 erne ZJJie y uncfrecfiJi J own In 1656, thirteen men from Sudbury petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts to grant them a tract of land including Southboro, Northboro, Marl- boro, Westboro, and part of Hudson. However, be- cause the grant interfered with John Eliot ' s grant to the Algonquin Indians, the Court ordered the settlers to reserve six thousand acres for the Indians. This land was quickly settled and became known as the Whipsufferadge Plantation. In 1674 Thomas Rice was the first settler to start a farm within the present boundaries of Westboro. The Indians were a serious problem to the farm- ers. Several garrison houses were built and a few soldiers were assigned to protect the settlers against Indian attacks. In 1704 Edmund Rice killed the In- dian Graylocl . Several Indians avenged Graylock ' s death by killing one of Mr. Rice ' s sons and capturing four others, and in 1707 Indians massacred Mary Goodnow while she was picking herbs. Finally the Indian raids were checked. RICE MEMORIAL Very few Indian traces remain today. The Indian pond Naggawoomcom was renamed Lake Chauncy for the Rev. Charles Chauncy, second president of Harvard College. Jackstraw Hill was named for the old Indian, Jackstraw, who built his wigwam on that hill. The Indians have also given posterity the beautiful Legend of Habomac, better known to us as Hockomocko. On November 18, 1717, Westboro, with Northboro, was set off as a separate town. A meet- ing house was immediately built and town officers were elected. In 1724 Ebenezer Parkman became the first minister in Westboro. He preached for nearly sixty years. In 1764 Dr. Hawes became Westboro ' s first physician. Westboro has been the home of several interesting people. Around 1763, the witch Ruth Buck and the thief Tom Cook were proclaimed to be in league with the devil. Westboro had several slaves before the Emancipation, the most famous being old Dinah, who was captured in Africa and sold to the Franklands of Westboro. Westboro is also the birthplace of Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin, and Horace Maynard, one-time Postmaster General of the United States. The little town of Westboro grew rapidly. Its citizens fought in all the major wars of the United States and played an important part in the growth of Massachusetts. The Class of 1962 is proud of its town. We pay tribute to Westboro, incorporated on November 18, 1717, as the hundredth town in Massachusetts, and to the citizens who have carried on its spirit of progress. For his many years of service, For his help as our Junior Class Adviser, For his sincere efforts to bring us the best in science. For his willingness to devote his time to school activities, For tiis sense of humor, We, the Class of 1962, dedicate our yearbook. The Cotton Gin, JlCr. Gfacfe C iRife OLD TOWN HALL MR. CHARLES M.
