'Oh, for a town with church bells We, the Yearbook Staff, have year: to permanently record on of little homes quietly ringingln had a two-fold purpose this the following pages elusive memories of our four short years at Whitman High and to familiarize ourselves with our town, rich in historical background. Surprisingly enough, many of the townspeople know too little about Whitman, a hamlet rich in industry. This year the Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsored a Merchant's exposition, which reacqualnted the townspeople with in- dustrial Whitman. By research we have discovered its his- torical lmportance dates way back to the days of the fr1gate,'Constitution,n when the vale planks for that ship were cut in a mill in this very town. Adjacent to the Mount Zion cemetery on Washington Street is the familiar block house, which was used as a gun house by the patriot militia in the Revolutionary War. On a plaque over Ed Packard's store may be found cogni- zance that the first McKay shoe machine was made at this spot. Today Whitman is known nationally as the home of the Toll House, the birthplace of Cardinal Spellman and in in- dustrial circles as a shoe power, manufacturing Regal and Commonwealth shoes. Lying to the south of Whitman are Hanson and Halifax from which a sizable part of our school enrollment is drawn. Ocean Spray Cranberry products have put Hanson on the map while Halifax and Monponsett have a wealth of lakes, making them popular summer resorts. The classmates of '52 are setting out in a turbulent world, reassured by a generous education and proud we are products of a town that wanted to provide the best for its youth. Stimulated by the interest of our parents, teachers and friends may each of us reward you by building success- ful and happy lives. A Road N A road might lead to anywhere-- To harbor towns and quays, Or to a wltch's pointed house Hidden by brlstly trees. It might lead past the ta1lor's door, Where he sews with needle and thread, Or by Miss Pim the milliner's, With her hat for every head. It might be a road to a great, dark cave with treasure and gold piled h1gh,i Or a road with a mountain tied to its end, Blue-humped against the sky. Oh, a road might lead you anywhere-- To Mexico, or Maine. But then, it might just fool you, and-- Lead you back home againl' Anonymous Q
