Mansfield High School Graduates 1933

In the lower picture the school is pictured in 1928 with the old Brick School that had been the high school and the gym addition.. The  picture at left shows the old school in the right background with the new gym addition in front. The old school was eventually torn down. In its place now stands the larger part of the present High School. The gym addition remains as the auditorium.

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..

History of Mansfield’s Schools

Our town is known as a College town. Therefore it seems only fitting that this history of education should begin with the college.

The building of a small seminary was completed February 15, 1857, on the site where our college now stands. It opened its doors to students January 15, 1857, under the supervision of the Methodist Church. This did not prove entirely satisfactory, so finally the State took it over, and it was reorganized into a State Normal School, December 11, 1862. The buildings formerly used were enlarged and improved, and the attendance grew until in 1927 it was made a State Teachers College. It has become very well known, especially for its work in Music and Home Economics.

A Soldier’s Orphan School was no doubt the next organized. Its name signifies the type of school it was. The main building was on the site where Shepard’s men’s clothing store now stands, on the corner of Main and Wellsboro Streets. There were various other Buildings belonging to the school, such as dormitories. The Boys’ Dormitory was directly across the street from the main building. The children did a great deal of good under the supervision of Professor Allen, who at the time was President of the Normal School, for which he accomplished some remarkable things. Later the main building of the Orphan School burned.

Besides these schools, the one used for more general purposes was the Academy, situated across from the college on Academy Street, named after the school. This took the place of other schools until the building we now use for a High School was built in 1882. It was then called the Borough School and was graded, being used for all grades, from the highest to the lowest. It was large enough to serve in this capacity for there were few pupils to occupy it, and small one room school houses accommodated the people of the outlying communities.

As time went on the population increased and the people’s ideals advanced until more and more pupils attended school. Alumni Hall at the Normal was used for some of the pupils, until in 1914 the Training School was built. The Borough School was still used; it was an individual choice as to which school the pupil wished to attend. The Seniors of the State Normal School taught in the Training School. In the Borough School one teacher was hired for each grade.

Finally the grades were divided between these two schools, the elementary grades remaining at the Training School and the Junior and Senior High School grades using the Borough building. Soon the Borough school was made into a High School, and the eight grades of grammar school used the Training School.

In 1926 a further division was made with the erection of the beautiful Junior High School building. This made ours the six-three-three system of school division – the first six grades in the Training School; seventh, eighth and ninth in Junior High School; tenth, eleventh, and twelfth in Senior High School.

Our High School building is a fairly large one, situated in a beautiful spot beside the Tioga River. It was greatly added to and the education advanced when in 1929 the building to be used as gymnasium and auditorium was erected.

We are still using the same old edifice built in 1882. It has been improved and somewhat remodeled on the interior and still serves its purpose courageously. We would not have wished for any other, for we now love it dearly. We hope, however, that future generations may enjoy a new building on the same beautiful site and spacious grounds as our dear Alma Mater.

Senior Class Poem

From a crude little cabin of wood
Has the Mansfield High School grown,
Till now in its place are stood
Two buildings of brick and stone.

Down by the flowing stream
In the midst of a sward of grass,
Rise lofty walls which seem
To protect the Senior Class.

For three cherished years have we dwelt
Within the hallowed walls—
Have worked, and played, and felt
Growing love for the dingy halls.

Will we ever forget the thrill
Of exciting basket-ball,
When Mansfield grappled to kill,
Her opponent lest she should fall?

In the classroom, there we worked
To learn from the countless books
The age-old truths that lurked
To trip us for too hasty looks.

Now as we must part,
Leaving friends and school behind,
God grant us strength of heart,
Our place in life to find.

--Alice Alger.

She graduated from the Senior High School and State Teachers College and taught for two years at Coryland and one year at Big Pond. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.   Lorena was one of Mansfield's popular young ladies. She possessed a happy, friendly disposition that made friends for her wherever she went, and she was a favorite among her teachers and classmates. An outstanding characteristic was her thoughtfulness for others, and through her long illness she was cheerful, ever trying to ease the burden of those about her. Her death brought deep sorrow to the community where she spent her life.   Surviving are three brothers, Earl and Eldridge MUDGE of Mansfield, and Cole MUDGE of Troy; two sisters, Mrs. Gladys STILWELL of Mansfield, and Mrs. Florence SMITH of Elmira, and several nephews and nieces.   Funeral services were conducted Saturday at 1:30 P.M. at the Stilwell home and 2 P.M. at the Methodist Episcopal Church by the Rev.

    Lorena

An October eve- glorious autumn,
Trees with leaves of red and gold aglow.
One could feel God's presence in Nature
And his angels hovering low,
For they came for Lorena-
As the stars shone above,
And took her in youthfulness,
From all those whom she loved.
For her death held no terrors,
It was only crossing o'er
To the land of life and beauty,
There to dwell forevermore.
Perhaps the angels who the birthday
   of Christ proclaimed so long ago
Now came for the loving spirit of
   the one we all loved so,
God in His wisdom was in need of a
   flower so fair
To adorn His Eternal City, so he
   placed Lorena there;
And although our hearts are broken,
For we shall miss her presence dear,
We know that our loss and sorrow
Will only make heaven seem more near.
