Mansfield High School Graduates LISTINGS FROM THE 1938 MANSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK , "MANSCRIPT" Prior to 1913, not a pupil had graduated from a four year high school course in Mansfield. The course was narrow and only the few who wanted to go on to college stayed for the new high school course. The enrollment was sixty four for four years of high school in 1914. In 1913 a class of three graduated in a three year course and in 1914, a class of seven in a four year course. Not all of the following addresses were verified. A question mark has been added in cases of extreme doubt. In a few instances, no information was available. This information was taken from the 1938 school year book. Joyce M. Tice has added supplemental information.

1929 Mansfield High School Yearbook

Alumni News

A group of jolly High School girls caught my attention a few days ago.  Laughing and merry they were, but then, joviality is a true characteristic of High School students.  When I saw this group so thoroughly enjoying themselves, it brought back to mind the “wonderful” days we spent at M. R. H. S.

I remember the fun we participated in, the work we did, and the dreams we dreamed and it is these dreams that we dreamed, or rather lived, that I am most interested in.

The aims of the High School pupil are exceedingly high.  It is well that this is so.  But what are aims if there is not the proper expenditure of time, energy and material.  As John Oxenham has put is:

“To every man there openeth a high way and a low, and every man decideth the way his soul shall go.”

To many of the Alumni life tasks have opened.  Others are still spending days in higher schools of learning, but wherever the Alumni members are, I am sure they join with me in saying to the class of ’29, “May your most cherished dreams be realized.”
