Every year the Historical Society of Watertown sponsers the Historical Society Award for the best
essay submitted by a high school student. This year students had their choice of three themes: an individual, ethnic group
or landmark in Watertown and its significance to the town and region.
The 1st place winner received $300, the 2nd and 3rd place winners received $100. each. The winners
were chosen by a panel of Historical Society Council members. The awards were presented during a ceremony organized by David
Sheehan, Social Studies Coordinator, on June 18th at the High School.
Third place went to freshman Daniel White for his essay on "The History of Perkins School
for the Blind." Second place went to sophomore Andrew Grant for his essay on "Celia Thaxter: Watertown's Poet." Andrew also
won second place last year. First place went to Clara Gibbons for her essay on "Lydia Maria Francis Child" which is printed
here for your reading pleasure.
