A Time to Remember
1906 2006
-
Steeped in tradition, the clock
represents A Time to Remember.
The four faced clock is located high j
in the tower of the high school.
To reach this clock, one has to
ascend to the highest classroom
in the school. Room 312m, located j
on the 3rd floor of the building.
The tower is such a small room,

only about 8 feet by 8 feet. In the j
center of this room is the clock.
The clock is eighteen inches
wide and sits on a stand three feet
high. Up until 1999, every eight
days, someone had to travel up
to this tower to wind the four¬
faced clock. Attached to a large
weight, a steel wire was wound
thirty-two times on an iron drum.
Four turns wound out every day.
As the drum turned, it made a
long pendulum swing. Through
a series of gears, the swinging
pendulum made each of the
four iron bars connected to the
hands of each face move. A timer
turned electronic bulbs on at a
certain time each night and off
at a certain time each morning.
Built in 1906, the clock has had
to be repaired only a few times.
In the late 1990s, the clock was
electrified by Fairhaven resident
Peter Sirois. Now, all that needs
to be done is correcting for day¬
light savings time twice a year.

Fairhaven High School has changed its location and its look over the years. The original high school was located near
where the Huttlestonian Condo Apartments are (corner of Main St. and Huttlestonian Ave.). That building has since been
torn down. The new Fairhaven High School was built in 1906. An addition was built in 1931. It was connected to the main
building by an underground tunnel entering what was then the gymnasium. Today, we know it as the Library Media
Center. That annex was torn down to be replaced with a new building (shown above). The entire project lasted 42 months
and ended in April of 1999. The new addition allowed FHS to renovate the round gym into a modern, new library and add
up-to-date classroom laboratories and technology centers for compliance with the New England Association of Secondary
Schools recommendations. Fairhaven High School is a truly remarkable building and will always be known for its tradition.
2006 Huttlestonian Y&arbqpk Staff
Over the past four years each and every one of us has created special memories amongst our own groups of friends.
In that time we have merged together as a family and shared those special times with one another. Now that we have
reached our senior year we can gather together those precious memories and memorialize them in the Centennial
Huttlestonian with the care and devotion of the yearbook staff. It has been an honor and a pleasure to present them to
you. We can only hope that we have captured a special moment for every student in the graduating class of 2006. The
staff, Jessica, and I are very proud to have created an heirloom that we can look back and treasure throughout our lives.
Four years ago I embarked on a journey and on that journey I have made many friends and met many
challenges. One of those challenges has been being a part of the yearbook staff. It has enriched my time at
Fairhayen High and I will always be grateful for having the opportunity to share my talents and for unfor¬
gettable friendships. I bid the class of 2006 good luck and farewell. May you make your dreams come true.
Sincerely,
Chelsea Isherwood

2006 Advisors: Past and Present
Mrs. Cathleen Marchessault took over as advisor during our freshman year and kept us going
with many fundraising activities. But, due to an addition to her family, she was unable to
finish out our senior year. That is when Officer Tim Souza took over and finished the job.
