Therefore, this issue has a special significance for us-the Class of 1948. We have endeavored to improve this publication in spite of limitations placed upon us by rising costs. We sincerely hope that the spirit and memories of our years at Dighton High School, which are embodied in this Golden Log, will be ever cher- ished and preserved. Dedzkvltion ,c ......, .. . We, the class of 1948, dedicate this yearbook to Miss Yolande B. Laliberte for her patience, benevol- ence and untiring efforts in giving us a host of pleas- ant memories. She has always been our friend, has worked un- tiringly in our behalf, and has made our problems her problems. No class could ask for a finer adviser or a worthier friend. DANA O.

Webber, rightly received news- paper recognition for his Sports- manship Code in Narry League basketball. Mr. Webber's desire for fair play is exemplified in all his undertakings. May we Seniors ever continue to practice this sportsmanship in- stilled in us at Dighton High School. SHOCK! A Whist Party was held in Myricks in the old school house. The Seniors first met society here. Alden Johnson trumped an ex- perienced card player's Ace! We dare not say what Melvin Angus and George Morth did, for you might think they didn't know how to play whist. Did they? GIRLS LOSE GLAMOUR Emptying cellars and attics was bad enough, but that could never ruffle the composure and appear- ance of the ambitious Senior co- eds. The weather, as usual, had to make the paper drive a more challenging affair. Rain stop these gals? Never! But you should have seen their curly locks. HEAVY CAKES That remark brought a laugh at the Rehoboth Supper Cake Sale. James White knew how to sell those cakes, however, in spite of the slip of the tongue! DISHWASI-IERS NEEDED? Apply to Dighton High Class of 1948. We'1l send a few boys im- mediately. Experience gained at school and at all affairs. If preferred, write personally to Melvin Angus! IN APPRECIATION Many thanks to parents and friends who so unselfishly helped to make our class trip a reality. AUC'I'ION Supt. John J. Rolfe, our splen- did auctioneer, did a remarkable job at the North Dighton Supper in selling Josephine Furtado the five cent valuables. Whatever did she do with them all? Didn't we see them at the next whist? That was a great night for Pete Cummings too. Nice little duck you took home, hey Pete ? BREAKFAST AT EIGHT Miss Ruth Rounsevell enter- tained at a breakfast given on the D. H. S. stage one evening in De- cember in honor of James White. Guests were Libby Simmons, Jeanne Hebert, Kathleen Higgins, Shirley O'Connel1, Joseph Cam- bra, James Gurney, and Robert Rose. They ate her out of house and home. THOSE Plenty of given James sports. They deserving of DUTRA BOYS publicity has been and John Dutra in certainly have been the praise. Perhaps not as well known is the fact that the Dutra brothers have both been class officers for their four years of high school. That's a fine record, boys! SINGER WINS FAME Miss Jeanne Hebert, well- known contralto, whose voice has been widely acclaimed in private circles, made her stage debut this school year. Attired in fine furs and feathers, she made a hurried departure after her performance to fill a movie contract. C0-OPERATION PLUS Libby Simmons and Barbara Andrade have gone overboard in providing help for our many ac- tivities. Not only have they been busy little beavers along with other members of the class, but they have solicited outside assist- ance. Herb and Charlie have been real pals! MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! The main cry- of the Seniors, why? Money was scarce! Prices were high! Washington trip ex- penses increased! So could you blame them? Of course not! But thank goodness there was Miss Laliberte to stir up enthusiasm and that the class was made up of vim and vigor and determination to reach that goal! Results-empty pockets, com- plete exhaustion, but plenty of fun! RARE SIGHT Unable to resist the temptation, Frances Souza jumped into the shower room puddles. So eager was her desire to take a dip that she overlooked the fact that she was fully dressed. If it was the wet feeling she wanted, she must have been satis- fied. D. A. R. PILGRIIVI On the basis of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism Ruth Rounsevell was elected D. H. S. good citizen to represent the school at the D. A. R. Pilgrimage in Boston. Quite an honor for Ruth! SUPER SALESMEN The raising of funds for the Washington Trip was really a course in salesmanship. If treated as such, certificates would surely have been given to Alden John- son, Harold Baptiste, Marilyn Rit- ter, Ruth Rounsevell, Betty Gur- ney, Barbara Andrade, Jeanne Hebert, Mary Sousa, James Gur- ney, Catherine Sellars, and Doris Pittsley-our super salesmen. If you have something you no longer want, just call on any of the above to dispose of it for you. However, wish you luck in col- lecting the returns. They are well trained to turn all money into the class treasury. MARDI GRAS KING AND QUEEN Congratulations, Shirley and John! Twenty-three W Www WM: Qgofyfjwfiwwgg ,S Emi? R quam Y!

'lg Ay,5.B.iZw Gray pruljwbfryrl 3 Va ledictor THE DIGNITY OF WORK Graduation marks a transition, a change from one stage of life to another. It is consequently a sub- dued group of students that you see before you today, forwe, the Seniors of Dighton High School, like thousands of other graduating classes, look askance into the future and await the opportunities of to- morrow in a spirit of awe and expectation. All of us dream of high accomplishment-be it in one field or another-that will at the same time increase our powers and broaden our capacity for understand- ing, for service, and for enjoyment. However, the future is built upon the past and at a time when we are ready to take a step forward, it is only logical that we cast a look backward. In taking stock of past achievement, we realize that nothing has been accomplished except through work. Work is a necessary factor, not merely for purposes of survival, but for the higher pur- pose of fulfillment. This realization, however, need not be distressing to us if we consider work in the true role it plays in our lives and if we prepare conscientiously to perform it as well as we can. For the quality of our work depends largely on our attitude toward it. Now work may be toil. Toil involves drudgery and is mechanical and perfunctoryg it is devoid of personality, beauty or power. Toil is submitted to, as an unescapable evil. Man's heart and mind turn away from it in aversion and disgust. He cannot use it as a medium for self-expression and consequently feels stunted and thwarted by a continued expenditure of effort from which he derives no power, no pleasure. It may be well to point out here that under the regime of a totalitarian state, where freedom of thought as well as freedom of enterprise is banned, no activity can be anything else but toil, toil that even degenerates into slavery since slavery is any activity carried out carelessly by compulsionof fear, tyranny, or starvation. Anyone who is always subject to the direction of another and who does not have the freedom to govern his own actions is a slave. A democracy on the other hand, offers freedom of enterprise, that is, the right to choose one's work and to perform it in the manner which to the worker seems most efficient, providing it does not jeopardize the common good. As contrasted to toil, work involves thoughtful planning, organized skill, and the sense of per- sonal growth through productive effort. True, no one is born with skillg it must be acquired through practice. Practice means directed purposeful effort. Now many of us do not like the word effort. That is because we look at its meaning too superficially. In deeper analysis, effort indeed is living. We all love life, the activities that life makes possible. Yet none of these activities can be performed Without effort, from learning to walk to learning to read. Effort is the testing of our physical and mental powers to overcome difficulties in the process of growth. The presence of a need, the birth of an am- bition, the desire to render service are all incentives to effort. Skill in a given field is developed through courageous persevering effort in that field. Those who are afraid of this effort will never gain the freedom of skill, nor achieve the real status of a worker. Work can and should be raised to a still higher level. lt can be made the source of deep personal happiness by the realization of service to society. Aworker conscious of the value of his work to his fel- lowmen is happy in his contribution to their welfare and happiness. Everyone strives for happiness, and to be able to derive it from one's work seems to be the highest achievement of active life. The worker, in fact, always thinks of better ways of doing his work, of enriching it with the gifts of his best endeavor, of stamping it with a truly personal seal. Thus art, the doing of useful work in a spe- cially beautiful and outstanding way, is born. Work then, far from being a task, becomes the mainstay and the zest'of life, the worker, no matter in what field he may be engaged, is an artist, one who works as though he were at play. In this respect man can take some hints from nature at her graceful work. Nature never rests and yet is always in repose, she never ceases to work and yet always seems to be at play. The amount of power involved in the change from winter to summer is incalculable, but the change is accom- plished so quietly and gradually that it is impossible to associate the name of toil with it. The com- plete ease of nature at her work is unbelievable. The secret of this silent, invisible, easy play of force lies perhaps in perfect adaptation of instrument to task, in complete harmony between power, meth- ods, and ultimate aims. It appears, then, that whatever we have envisioned for the future, our first concern must be to face work unafraid, to undertake it with unstinting energy, and to recognize the dignity of any en- deavor that not only develops character through self-discipline in the practice of a skill, but which also becomes a source of happiness in the value of the product to self and to society. --RUTH ROUNSEVELL Twenty-six Sa lu mtory THE WORLD AND THE GRADUATE Today, many of the nations of the world are in a restive state due to important problems set before them for decisive action. The cause of this predicament rests upon an important issue which has been introduced for adoption. This is the choice of two ways of living: the American way of life or the Soviet way of life. Our method yields friendship, co-operation, equality and unity, the other yields meaningless promises and domination by force. These nations, before considering a choice, should visualize and weigh the possible benefits of each plan. They see the Iron Curtain drawing down and pressing westward across Europe, threaten- ing its neighbors politically and economically. Then, in the opposite direction, they perceive our in- dependence and progress. We are attempting to procure salvation from the Iron Curtain for these nations with the Marshall Plan. A problem arising before us under these circumstances is whether the domination by Russia of these oppressed nations will produce a conflict between Americanism and Communism. Is war the only alternative? This seems to be the question uppermost in the minds of Americans today. We must realize that, for the present, we face rivalry between our way of life, our ideals, our sys- tems of industry, our form of government and those of the Soviet Union. This rivalry may result in war. Yet we must be aware of war and should consider the factors of preparedness. Robert S. Allen, a noted columnist, points out that the Iron Curtain is not as impervious as the Soviets want us to believe. Facts indicate that Russia is having great difficulty in rebuilding and re- organizing its war-ravaged industries. The industrial wealth which Russia lacks lies in rail equip- ment, in motor transport, in new plants and equipment, in machine tools. These items form the fun- damentag ingredients of a nation's war potential, and Russia does not possess these in sufficient quan- tity at t is time. Another factor in determining the capability of a country to wage successful war is the degree of military advancement in the most effectual and modernized method of waging war. Upon the sub- ject Stalin has this to say: The second World War was merely a prelude to modern war in this age, which will be based on the complete domination of the air. Aviation will play the primary and deci- sive role in this type of warfare . . . Entire armies will engage in the air . . . The nation which can put more men and machines in the air will have the greatest chance to win. Yet, we may think Russia has two advantages. First, it has the largest standing army in the world and, second, it has the greatest land area. But this great standing army does not measure up to Stalin's own statement. Its extensive land area would not necessarily hinder air invasion or bombard- ment. This great army would not be an asset in an atomized war or in a war of jet propulsion. A nation could easily destroy an army with germ invasion and devastate a country with atom bombs. Pondering upon our questions of war, a feasible solution should include action upon the Marshall Plan, aviation progress, and military training. It is obvious that the Marshall Plan may provide the best way to preserve or at least to improve the prospects of world peace. This is not too large a price to pay to maintain free nations in western Europe in the traditions of democracy , in the principles of human dignity , and in the respect for individual rights . We must not forget that there will be no western world fit for free man to live in unless we keep the avenues open to freedom and prog- ress of the individual by our example. If these statements of Mr. Allen, Stalin, and other commentators are true, we can see that war with Russia is not imminent. What does all this have to do with us, the graduating class of 1948? This problem of Russia and the United States faces us perhaps more forcibly than any other. We must be patient and broad- minded in order to meet new problems of our challenging world. We are confident because we are enabled through the efforts of our parents, our teachers, and our friends to meet our nation's demands for intelligent citizenship. It is our duty to fulfill this trust by improving ourselves further by wisely using our education in determining our path in world living. Then, and only then, can our democratic institutions endure and become strong enough to withstand any form of attack. -EMILY DULAK Twenty-seven Class irtory Twenty-eight Lest We Forget!

Rose: White! You old stick-in-the-mud ! What are you up to? White: Oh, I've finished Bible School and had a few years of practice. Now I'm on the first leg of my journey to the Congo to convert those beastly Pygmies! Rose: Well, you've bit off quite a hunk, and I sure hope those head-hunters don't try to do the same! White: Say, did you know that Mel Angus is piloting this crate ? I saw him before we took off. Rose: Don't you call this plane a cmte ! This is my plane-well, not exactly mine, it does belong to Gurney Airlines, Inc., but I'll have you know I designed this wreck ! Jackie: I'm sorry, Bob, but you'll have to keep your voice down. You're dis- turbing jim Horton-he's trying to sleep. White: Horton? Is he still sleeping? I thought he would wake up after he got out of school. jackie: Oh, no! He plays the piccolo in jo Furtado's orchestra, and whenever she gives him a three-bar rest he's fast asleep on the fourth. White: Furtado's orchestra? Where does she play? Rose: What? Haven't you heard her on the Berkley Network? She's got good players too: Jeanne Paull strums a guitar and Winnie Harris plays the accordian.

See here comes Shirley Lemieux. Hello, Shirley. Shirley: Hi, Jackie! jackie: My, that's a lovely outfit you're wearing. I'll bet you got it at The Revised Look Shop, Ruth's New York store. Shirley: Of course! I'm Ruth's professional buyer now. jackie: I didn't realize that she was getting along well enough to hire a profes- sional buyer! Shirley: Oh, that's nothing. Why, I'm just returning from Freetown. I con- tracted Betty Cummings for her total output of designs. It's too bad Betty couldn't come to New York, it would be so much easier. But Pete is so interested in his barber shop that he won't leave it. jackie: I was in Ruth's store a few weeks ago. I was surprised at how many of our classmates were working there. Let's see-there's Libby Simmons as sales manager and Cassie Sellars as Hoorwalker. She told me that she was trying to make the place swanky g so she hired Shirley O'Connell and Carolyn Turgeon as models. Shirley: I guess you didn't see Marcia Smith and Kay Higgins. They work in the hem-raising department. Kay tells how much to shorten the skirts and Marcia sews them. Kay is good at that, only she tends to over- estimate. CBob Reid groans.J jackie: Is there something the matter, Bob? Reid: Oh what a toothache! I should have gone to see Joe Cambra the last time I was in Berkley. jackie: I think it was his nurse you wish you had seen. I hear he doesn't have to use gas. He has her smile and then he can pull as many teeth as he pleases. Reid: You mean Gladys Bragga? Oh yes, I did see her the last time I was there. jackie: Say, how would you like to read a good book while you're traveling. It might make you forget your toothache. It's Romance of 4 Rose by R. Evangelho. Reid: No thanks. just let me suffer. It make me mad to think that even though jackie : Reid: jackie: Reid : Jackie : Reid: jackie : Reid: Jackie: Reid: jackie: Reid : Rose: jackie: I own the Reid's Rest Home in the Rockies, I can't get any rest there. I have Dot Phillips to answer my phone and do my office work and Betty Hayes to take over when I don't feel like it. They're both as competent as ever, but the place still gets me down. But I don't see how a rest home could tire you so! Oh, it isn't the home. It's the outside connections I have. Take, for instance, the time Harold McCracken came and hung around until I grubstaked him for five more years of gold prospecting. I haven't heard from him since! Speaking of people not being heard from, how about George Morth. In 1950 he started out for the North Woods and no word from him yet! Oh well, I think he can take care of himself, he's used to the wilds of Rehoboth. Thank goodness, he sought the Woods and not the Rockies! I have enough troubles. My present problem is that my cook, Doris Pittsley, lost her knack for cooking, and Joe Dias and john Rose almost died of indigestion. They were on their way to California on their bicycles. They needed a rest anyway, I suppose. Did you remind joe and John that if they go through Hollywood to look up janet Bliss, Donald Smith and Russell Turner? How could I forget that! Did you see Mad Monday, with Janet playing opposite Van Smith? Yes, I did, but I think Rut stole the show with his comedy, and Smithie was just too, too divine. Ah, but that janet! She is pretty. She gets done over at Jeanne Hebert's Beauty Salon. Jeanne keeps her clients youthful with some new-fangled ballerina exercises along with the beauty culture. She has Alice Young giving facials and doing fingernails and Diana Cabral dressing hair. Look! We're coming into New York. Fasten your safety belts and check your parachutes. fThis is Gurney's Airlines, you know.7 Well, this is my stop. I'm going to try to hire another cook. I hope I can get Lorraine Nunes to quit the Waldorf. I hear she is wonderful. Nice seeing you all. So long! fSome passengers get off.D Say, jackie, isn't that Makepeace working on No. 2 motor? Sure, that's Lester. What is that he's pulling out? Thirty-five Thirty-six Rose: For goodness sakes! It's a copy of True Romance. I bet Bob Reed left jackie: Pauline: jackie: that in there when he was working on the plane at the Dighton Air Terminal. Look who's here! Frances Souza and Pauline Torres. Where are you headed, girls? We're bound for Washington. We heard that there is a drastic need for secretaries. Senator johnson is talking so much all the stenographers are tired of recording for him. Good old Aldie! He has already broken the time record on filibustering, and he's still going strong. Rose: And poor Rita, his wife, has probably lost all hope of ever seeing him Jackie: Emily: jackie: Emily: jackie: Emily: jackie: Elaine: jackie: Elaine: jackie: home again! But now that Barbara Andrade is in politics opposite him, Johnson's going to have to give in some. fTbe plane takes ojfl fCbecleing ber new passengersl Well, hello, Emily Dulak! How do you like your teaching? Oh, it's fine. I'm teaching in a County school in the Kentucky Hills. You know what? Among my 50 grade-school pupils are Jeanne Dupuis's three oldest children. Three oldest? Yes. She has seven now. I hear jimmy Dutra is down that way. Yes, he's principal of a school in the next county and teaches some physical education. I somehow knew that Jimmy would get there. And here is Elaine Costa. Hi, Elaine! What news have you to give us? Golly, it seems good to see familiar faces! Oh, I'm a designer for 'Torres' Terrific Fashions. Terry's got quite a business now. Gee, I saw those advertised in the paper, but never guessed they were hers! Yes. Helen Gilbert is her assistant, and their secretary is Emily Carr. I never dreamed I'd see so many of our classmates on this trip, but here are Mary Sousa and Marilyn Ritter. Say, I thought you two were private secretaries to executives in New York? Mary: We are but we were stacking up so much money we thought we had Marilyn : better take a vacation and spend some. Yes. We're going to Washington. We haven't dared go back since 1948 for fear they might remember us. Golly, didn't we have fun! We saw Anne Bennett the other day. She's very busy as a commercial artist. Have you seen some of her magazine covers? They're something! Mary: Well, look who's here! The Shop Trio-Johnny Dutra, Ken Barrow, and Harold Baptiste. Ken: We're to remodel Senator Johnson's Washington house. He's doing quite Marilyn: Jackie: a job down there in politics and feels he can afford it now to have a balcony built all around his house so that he can greet his public more easily. There are other classmates in Washington, too, I hear. Thelma Hixon has a Nursery School just outside the city. And Edith Baldwin is a librarian at the Library of Congress. She's won a great deal of recognition by installing the D.H.S. library system there. Shirley: Here we are already. Jackie: Fasten your safety belts, folks. We're going to land. WELCOME TO WASHINGTON Marilyn: If only all members of the Class of '48 were here. Say, let's plan a reunion for 1968! -THBLMA HlxoN -Sl-um.lsY O'CoNNm.L --JAMES GURNEY g...M sr I l My ,gy 233 J!

Football Dighton football eleven started off with a loss of 12-6 to Mansfield, but that was the first game and we were raring to go. We played our second game with great success by trampling the Orange and Black Diman Voke by 18-7. Our next two games with Dighton fighting hard resulted in Dighton 0, Somerset 133 Dighton 0, Nantucket 6. Dighton did not lose courage and with a winning streak begin- ning on the Howard High battle field in Bridge- water, Dighton won 25 to 12. O boy, the next game! It was soaking wet when we played Bourne, but we had fun. The score was Dighton 13, Bourne 0. Remember the Case game and that long walk through the woods to the field? It was worth walk- ing to a victory of 6-0. On the trip to play Ware- hame, some of the fellows took their fishing poles with them. But it was not a pushover for Wareham to outscore Dighton that day. Dighton put up a tough fight-Dighton 0, Wareham 12. The final game on Thanksgiving Day, Dighton trimmed Dartmouth 32-7. We seniors who have been on the team will never forget the fun we had playing for Dighton and Coach Leo DeMarco's hard work and skillful coach- ing. Fifty-five Firrt Ron-: Lawrence Dutra. john Dutra.

Pros- pects did not appear good at the outset. After three weeks of hard practice the team began to take shape. We had three warm-up games with the Faculty, Alumni, and Coyle seconds, in which we gathered valuable game experience. Our Narry League games were started off with a bang, but the victory string came to an end at Pre- Fifty-six vost when everything seemed to go wrong. It just wasn't our fate to win the Narry League. We then went to the South Shore Principals' Tournament and won the starter and the quarter- final. With our hopes high we entered the semi- finals, but Lady Luck was still against us and we sor- rowfully lost this exciting game. We had some excellent records on total points scored, with jim Dutra scoring 383, Bob Booth 159, john Dutra 80 and Bob Smith 69. First Roux' Jacqueline Cummings, Martha Bowden. Audrey Kirk.

With skillful passing and good timing Kay Hig- gins and Estelle Torres contributed many baskets for the winning team. The spark of the team, Audrey Kirk, who was high scorer as well as captain, was a definite asset. Marilyn McCarthy with her quick Durfee l8f20 Westport IZ-22 Somerset 7-12 Dartmouth H525 New Bedford Voke 7 movements did fine defensively. Martha Bowden and Emily Dulak were continually on the job keep- ing the opponents' score down. jackie Cummings, who played as substitute in either the guard or for- ward position, also deserves credit.
