William E. Tolman Senior High School (originally Pawtucket Senior High School, changed to Pawtucket East High School, then William E. Tolman Senior High School〔(【引用サイトリンク】Two-handed set shots may be gone, but the old courts remain )〕) is one of three public high schools located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】The History of William E. Tolman High School... )〕 It was built and opened in 1926 (Monahan & Meikle, architects〔''Engineering News-Record'' Nov. 1925: 158.〕) along the east bank of the Blackstone River as a "state of the art" educational facility.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】William E. Tolman Senior High School - The SALT Visit School Report )〕 The building consists of four floors and a basement, 60 class rooms, a 1,300-seat auditorium, a swimming pool, and a nursery for the children of teenage mothers.〔〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】Dropout tales of hardship, hope )〕 Tolman High School is the first multimillion-dollar high school east of the Mississippi and the gym is the oldest high school gym in Rhode Island that is still in use.〔〔 The school has been remodeled several time with the most recent being in 1980.〔 The school's pool was also featured in the film ''Mermaids'' and the school is in some scenes of the film ''Moonstruck''.〔 ==Thanksgiving football rivalries== Tolman High School shared a 73-year-old Thanksgiving Day football rivalry with nearby private school, Saint Raphael Academy.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】St. Raphael vs. Tolman )〕 Throughout the 90's, however, due to the trend in lopsided games resulting from a more powerful private school, it was decided in 2001 that Tolman's new rival would be Shea High School, the city's second public high school across the Blackstone River.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】Shea vs. Tolman )〕 Saint Raphael's had been leading the series 38-34-4 before it was dissolved and had won the final 8 meetings by a combined score of 270-6.〔 In the summer of 2010, due to realignment by the Rhode Island Interscholastic League and request by Saint Raphael Academy, Saint Ray's dropped from Division I to Division II B, the same division as Tolman. On September 17, 2010, for the first time since 2001, Tolman revived it's rivalry with Saint Ray's. Tolman won the contest with a score of 37-0. In the days of the old rivalry on Thanksgiving Eve, Tolman students would participate in the annual Burning of the Casket ceremony on the Blackstone River. This ceremony would take place after the Homecoming dance and involved the release of a burning casket down the Blackstone River. The tradition of the burning of the casket however, was abandoned in the early 2000s.〔 The traditional pep rally held prior to the game was canceled in 2009〔(【引用サイトリンク】Frivolity blends with tradition at Tolman’s graduation )〕 but returned the following year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William E.
