Hope gilds the future's wayg I ove lights the past we've known so long, l ld! to Commencement Day! U41 QRKQWY' KXOXN HONOR ESSAY Propaganda in the News Today There are three sources of knowledge-experience, conversation, and reading. A person's experience and conversation would be very much limited without one's reading or the reading of others. If we stopped to make a general summary of books we would find that they contain the ex- perience, the conversation, and the deeds of great men and women as well as the knowledge of ages concerning other worlds and human beings and our connection with those of the past. Naturally the thoughts and deeds of pforl-G le neva reef' are fciv, feeble, alssitrd end childish, for read- ing is what develops the mind. What does America read? The mass of America reads a g. :at 0, ., 4 it does not read books. It reads magazin-es and newspapers. Europe: ns cin- not understand the part that the daily n-ws,a, t. s p.z'y .n ot.. gi cs, e ,r-2 know that they play an important part for the modern man s curiosity corcgz n,ng events outside of his own family and community is satisfi 'd by 1, ,lay-by-day diet of news which comes to us through the radio anl the newsqapers. How many of us here tonight, when reading our daily newspaper have not wondered how much was the truth and how much should be tak--n with the proverbial grain of sa.t ? There is nothing wrong with questioning what we read in our news- papers. As Americans we have that privilege, and we show intelligence if we try to find out facts that will explain more -eifectixely that which we are curious about. In America the word propaganda has a Lad ctlor. It is associated with the war especially and other evil practices. Even Americans, however, hav-e come to realize that they too ar-e sub- jected to propaganda. 'l his is not altogether surprising. for America is a country which is right now feeling the effect of a gigantic atterngl to guide pub.ic opinion. Both fools and wise man know that the n-ewspaper is the most import- ant vehicle of propaganda in modern life. Communists have their own press and seek to secure recognition from hostile papers. The propaganda sccQ- eties release information designed to app-ear in any pa,er wlrcli wil. tc cept the ofering. All efforts to s-ecure free publicity are directed toward capturing the newspaper reader's eyes. The pub.ic relations ciunszl creates news so that his product may b-ecome better known by the news- paper public at large. Pressure groups realize that items about their ac- tivities in the daily press reinforce their efforts to influence public opinion. The two important dictators of modern times, for example, captured their governments .n s te or t e str: ng' o ,p sit, n ct' .1i1pc:rt.nt n-wsiapers. And yet Hitler and Mussolini did have their support-ers among the mem- bers of the Press. l61l American editors and publishers may or may not be aware of the propaganda they are printing. They imagine that they are simply present- ing facts, and they are proud of their own thoroughness. To be sure it can be easi.y admitted in this connection that American newspapers are, on the whole, far superior to and much more honest and conscientious than those in any European country. And yet our papers are intentional propa- gandists when they print sensational stories and items which accord with public taste in order to boost their circulation and at the same time in- crease the revenue obtained from advertisers. Many of the alien-minded people who still cling to Old World alle- giances are important advertisers. Instead of looking upon the hospitalities and opportunities of America as the means of a new, free life, these people continue here their partisan ties of quarreling and confiict. Some of them try to get America involved in their foreign quarrels. 'io gather support for this minority aim they are conducting a tremendous publicity campaign to create American hatred of nations they want us to light. The newspapers anu advertisers do not see any wrong in this pub- licity, and since they depend on advertising revenue, the editors unknowing- ly run hate campaigns against thos-e nations which the alien-minded adver- tisers do not like. By doing this they have deceived many sincere loyal Americans. Since a great deal of war news is propaganda, it is often questioned, when war threatens, should the whole press bellow for war on the basis of such news. Some think it should drift with popular passion, sound the bugle, and beat the drum when mil ions of readers want to hear them. Nat- urally this is a.so the profitable thing to do, and that is what the majority of the newspapers finally do. A paper which during the World War refrained from printing doubt- ful German cruelty stories could not hope to do so well as one which ap- peared with alluring tales of German corpse factories. Thus in the compet- itive process, a steady circle of competition is established. Public taste calls for the corpse factory stories from the clever editor, these stories, inflaming the temper of the public, render that public less able to hear patiently or to give any consideration to the facts which might offset these exaggerated stories in their minds. The editor finds himself obliged to be very much one-sided. It is not a matter of expressing editorial opinons, but of select- ing the news which the reader shall know. So you see the Press does not create evils-an example of which is race- hatred. What it does is to emphasize and fix more firmly the type of charac- ter and state of mind out of which these evils grow and become so danger- ous. If a public has been captured by a given folley or passion-race-hatred, or religious enthusiasm-the paper which hopes to win or keep its large circulation must shape its selection and presentation of news so as to ap- pear to confirm the preconceived opinion or judgement. For it is a char- acteristic that even the wisest of us like to read just those facts which con- firm an existing opinion. It is uncomfortable, disturbing, unsettling, to have to read just opinions about such things as, for instance, the wickedness of all Germans, and the goodness of all Allies. It may be true that, given time, most of us can verify an existing opinion or prejudice in the light of new facts or facts which were not considered much before now. But the process of reasoning about facts is slow and rather diflicult, while the re- action to some excitement is quick and easy. The press has always been a fighting organization and in the early part of the century, it had very serious difficulties to contend with. Until com- paratively recent times there was no telegraph, and therefore no abundance l17l of news, and the sperm was an undevelopd force. Thus opinion was of first importance, news ol' secondary. Opinions were based upon tnviron- ment and training as well as upon personal experiences and slower forms of communication such as cor. espondcnce, magazines, and books. But today-because we must mak-e decisions in the light of what we read and hear, rather than in the light of personal experiences as was gen- erally the case before the turn of the century, it is important that we help in evaluating what we hear and what we read especially in the of economics, politics, and war. The fact that propaganda is in the newspapers should not raise t ' question of th-e failings or fo.ly of il particular owner. It is not a matter of personalities or particular peoples or groups, but of certain human forces acted upon in an advantageous way. Since this is the case, cnly we, our- selves, can learn to react sensibly. The solution of reacting in s 'ch ri way is to take time to collect and sort pertinent facts, consider them, and finally come to a decision of our own. Then we would have our own solution and others would cease to affect us if we were strong enough to disr-egard them. get field MARY A N N PETERSON U81 HONOR ESSAY Youth in a New Age What opportunities lie open to us graduating tonight? Is the future to be sunny or cloudy, hopeful or discouraging? What can I, or any of us, do after we graduate? We are youth. The spectacie held up before youth is marching men in uniforms equipped with deadly weapons-terrible looking children in gas masks: fearful youth being rushed into bomb proof cellarsg youth, afraid, hysterical, timidg ogres and monsters only seen in fairy tales but now be- coming real. But this is a dynamic world. It is as never before a challenging world, not a world of defeatism. Although it is believed that youth is cowardly, cynical, and selfish, it is not so. Youth is an adventurer going into a changing world of magic, of triumph, and of adventure. Youth is thought to be soft . How can it be when it was found that of 50,000 recent graduates from thirty-one colleges in twenty states two-thirds of the men and almost half of the women had earned part of their way? Is youth afraid of work? A placement director of one of the state colleges says that young people of today beg for work. In one college a student c.ass-president worked nights in a garage, Qreasing and washing cars. One girl could not find workg so she lived on stale bread from the bakery. She said that she could eat on ten cents a week. It is not a diet for a young girl, nor is it a diet for softies. But what can we do after we graduate? For what shall we train our- selves? Plato, the great Athenian philosopher, said, No two persons are born alike, but each differs from the other in individual endowments, one being suited for one thing and another for another, and all things in superior quality and quantity and with greatest ease. when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts. So it was about 400 B. C.. and it is still true. In that one respect, youth is not different. Today every young man and woman is different and has different natural abilities. If one is an artist, he should not become a plumber. This new and mobile world! There are many opportunities open to us today, which were not open several years ago. In the early 1930?s building construction was the weak sister of the big industry family. Today, the upsurge in private and national defense building has made this field-hiring more than a million workers-one of the nation's mightiest industries! To a young man who wants to break into construction, the pr-esent building boom means that his chances of getting job training are probably better right now than they have been for a long time. It takes dozens of different types of workers to turn planks of lumber, heaps of bricks, and tons of iron and cement into finished buildings of every description. This work today requires brick-layers, carpenters, cement finishers, electricians, painters, plasterers. plumbers and gas fitters, sheet- l19l metal workers, stone masons, structural-iron work-ers hod carriers, and other construction workers, including a growing number of building fore- men and supervisors. Can it be said that this field is limited? The defense program is surely opening a vast field which is much broader than it has been in any previous war. Ship-yard employment is being increased by government spending. It is estimated that more than 150,000 men will be working in private shipyards by the spring of 1942. If the present rate of growth continues, as many as 10,000 young men may have opportunities to become apprentices in some of the skilled shipbuild- ing crafts, although work may be only for the duration of war. But young men will have had experience. Every sailor learns a trade. If he leaves the service, he may be a ma- chinist, metal smith, patternmaker, musician, cook, baker, radio-expert, or a motion-picture operator. New opportunities for pharmacists will also occur in our armed forces. Pharmacists enter such governmental work as the Public Health Service, Bureau of Narcotics, and Veterans Administration. There is employment for pharmaceutical chemists in manufacturing laboratories, hospital dis- pensaries, drug research work, and in production of synthetics. Women also are employed in the defense program. The expanding manufacture of textiles, shoes, and clothing will need women. Women who excel in work requiring the use of light instruments such as gages, microm- eters, vernier calipers, wil. be hired for inspection of castings, machinings, and finished parts of routine powd-er analysis, and of testing electrical equipment. Women are experts in as-semb.ing delicate instruments and machines, loading shells, and filling powder bags. They have been used in operating all types of machin-es wh-ere lifting devices and other machines can do the heavy work. There are also new opportunities for women in biology, architecture, public health. It seems fairly certain that there will be opportunities for employment of girls in industry in the next year greater than at any time since th-e last World War. It is believed and said that all fields of work are overcrowded. This changing world has made that belief wrong. The ne-ed everywhere for trained occupational therapists is far in excess of the number of girls avail- able. The therapist deals with cardiac, tuberculosis, orthopedic, and mental cases. There are also opportunities for youth in radio. With 821 radio sta- tions in the country, all hungry for ideas, there certainly are opportunities for jobs. There are many branches to this work-script writing, dramatic producing or action, news editing and broadcasting, publicity, sound effects, research and interpretation music, sales, and market research. Another expanding field is photography. Pictur-es as a medium of news have greatly grown, and there is no reason to think that the public in- terest will decline. Opportunities in commercial art are rapidly expanding. The artist has a choice of two fields in which to work: the fine arts, and commercial art. People engaged in fine arts at the best make an insecure living, but usually do not find work at all. Commercial art is not overcrowded .ike the fine arts. Department stores engage staffs of artists to make attractive adv-er- tising displays. Newspapers need artists both for their advertising and for their editorial departments. Magazines need talented p-eople to illus- trate articles and stories. The same is true of book publishers. Since the fall of Paris, a talented and aspiring young designer has a chance with a situation full of golden opportunities. i201 There are fields which some people do not even consider. For instance, Bunny Rabbit may be just a character in bedtime stories to some people, but to 10,000 rabbit breeders he is a most important source of income. Los Angeges alone eats more than a million rabbits a year. There may be op- portunities for nearly 100,000 mor-e commercial rabbit raisers if rabbits are popularized as meat. The war has interfered with the supplies of Australian rabbit skins. I have tried to list a specific number of fields which are open to us. Our motto is Life is what you make of it. It has always been true, and still is. If we want to become something in this world, there are more opportun- ities now than ever before. Only the sluggish and lazy see no future, because they do not try. But the alert and active see a happy future of wisdom, wealth, and wit. We must not see only war, worry, and weakness. We must look forward, not backward! This is a world for youth, a world simply bursting with new opportunity! FRANCES BURNS E211 HONOR ESSAY The Historical Background of Present Economic Conditions in South America In order to understand the recent course of events in Latin America, one must bear in mind the past history of these twenty republics south of the Rio Grande and the traits of their peoples. These countries, known collectively as Latin America, are those lands which were under the domin- ation of Spain and Portugal during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. In the first place, Columbus discovered South America. He explored along the coast of what is now Venezuela in 1498. By 1515, the Spanish and Portuguese conquistadors were pouring in. The Portuguese settled in what is now Brazil, and the Spaniards occupied the rest of the continent. By 1550, fifty years after Columbus' discovery, the small horde of 100,000 Spaniards and Portuguese that had managed to get over here had accurately surveyed most of the 8 000 000 square miles of South America: had ex- plored the mountain ranges from Mexico to Cape Horng had charted the main river systems, and had found-ed practicaly all of the principal cities of today. To make a comparison, it was as if the entire North American continent had been explored, prospected, and mappedg as if its principal cities like San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, New York, and every other city of over a hundred thousand population had been founded within fifty years of the landing of the Pilgrims. To continue the analogy, it was as if Chi- cago, Denver, and all these new cities were each dumped into a separate pit, the walls of the pit being the gigantic mountain ranges of South America. The reason for this tremendous expansion was that Spain had finally driven the Moors out of the homeland just a few years before, and a new national enthusiasm had swept over the country. The country needed an outlet for its new-found energies, and this new continent provided just such an ideal outlet. This wave of colonization swept through the mountains and then in a few years the tide went out, leaving the people stranded in little puddles here and there. For the people, this developed a localistic attitude which persists to this day and prevents them from cooperating with their neigh- bors. When the Spaniards chose a place to settle, each man did not make a rush to stake claims for land as the Virginia colonists did. They first built a stone fortress and some stone and adobe houses around it. The streets were made narrow so that they could be easily swept by gunfire. The town could be defended from house to house. These towns were replicas of the feudalistic fortress-towns in Spain. These new Spanish settlers were horribly cruel to the natives. The sole function of the Indian was cheap labor. The Spaniards used the slavery system over here in its worst forms. By 1542, 12,000,000 Indians had been exterminated. E221 The mental makeup of these Spaniard was all the same. They were all passionate. They hated organized and constant labor, such as working in the rieldsg they loved the ceremonial, they were fanatically loyal to their churchg they were not steady, but were given to sudden bursts of energy and violence. Above all, they were intensely individualistic. As Spain declined, her empire over here broke up. It could not keep up with changing conditions. The French Revolution had set afire in the hearts of many patriots like Simon Bolivar and Jose San Martin the desire for independence. Accordingly, they organized armies and commenced hos- tilitles against the Spanish armies in 1817. After skillful fighting and many hardships, they finally destroyed the last Spanish forces in 1826. After the war, new leaders, not realizing that the people were not ready for democracy. adopted constitutions similar to ours, which were not suited to these countries' needs. The countries really needed some form of progressive d-ctatorship. No wonder that Venezuela has had fifteen con- stitutions in the last century. As a result, Latin America was ruled by mllitary dictators of the worst sort who manag-ed to seize power because of the clumsy constitutions. These dictators were changed as often as they could be killed off. For example, there have been 52 revolutions in Venezuela dui-.ng the last century. One dictator, Francisco Lopez of Paraguay thought himself to be a second Napoleon. He declared war on the Argentine Repub- lic in 1864 with the intention of conquering South America. Brazil and Uraguay promptly joined against him and all but ruined Paraguay. In the six years of war that followed, Paraguays original population of 1,337,000 decreased to 221,000, which represents a decrease of eighty-three percent. However, freedom for the Latin Americans had its better aspects. Other Europeans became interested, and -explored and charted a considerable por- tion of the countries' natural resources. Immigrants poured in. People dis- covered new occupations. Cattle and sheep raising were now taken up ex- tensively in the Argentine. 'lhe discovery of nitrates in northern Chili changed that part of the country from a desert to a thriving district. During the prosperous decade of the 1920's American business men were looking for places to invest money. They started to invest in South America. Hundreds of millions of dollars were poured down the South American dralnpipe. ln fact, the money was crammed down the South Am-erlcan throats. The 1929 crash came and business collapsed. South American business men could no longer pay interest. They resented our trying to get our interest. It was really the fault of Americans, because we lent more money than could be payed off. Then the high pressure Nazi salesmen came down and persuaded the business men to barter their goods. This would soon have led to complete dependence of South America upon Germany, but the war interrupted that. One of the most important impediments to progress and cooperation between the republics is the intense nationalism and jealousy of each country. For instance, even a customs union between the five Central American republics of Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica would benefit each country. But if any of the presidents sug- gested the idea, he wouldn't last very long. Several unions were attempted in the past. but they were eventually broken up. In the 1921 union, Guate- mala walked out, raising the usual cry: Will the strongest people in Central America submit to be ruled by the bloody Salvadorenos, the savage Hon- durans, and the wily Nicaraguans? This brings up the subject of the political customs. In Latin America, a man is not considered so much by his accomplishments as by the nu-mber of influential friends he has. One of the first things a Latin American politician learns to do is to sit on the fence. He must, besides keeping up l23l good relations with the ruling party, keep in touch with all opposition ,garties so that he wins no matter which party gets conrol of the government. hen a politician gets into office, he must make sure that his relatives get jobs through his new influence, because hostile relatives are no asset in Latin American politics. Another hindrance to better relations is the lack of communications. It is true that there are three rivers in South America that make magnifi- cent highways. But no one lives near two of them, the Amazon and the Orinoco. The other river, the Parana, running betw-een the Argentine Republic and Uruguay, is used principally by those two countries. The only other means of transportation are the raixroads and the airlines. Ex- cept for one or two lines, the Andes mountains quite effectively bar east-to- west travel with its 20,000 foot peaks. Probably, in a few years, when larger planes are developed, the airways will become the principal mode of travel. One of the main reasons for Latin America's distrusting us is the fear of Yankee imperialism. During the first part of this century, several dictators, actively hostile to us, gained contro-. of several of the republics, urging violence against American property. After some damage the American marines were sent down to protect American property. Immedi- ately the cry went up against the Yankee imp-erialistsf' Many of Latin lAmerica's most prominent figures screeched that the United Statis would soon take over South America. Until recently, any politician could rous 1 enthusiasm by urging measures against the Yankee imp-eiia isls. ' These people have good reason to protest against our imperialism. The Americans, along with the British have managed to wrigg.e into the economic system of these countries so that they own over one quarter of these nations' wealth. Foreign investments in Latin Am-erica total up to some twelve billion dollars. This is a tremendocs figure when we realize that the whole national income of all these countries is only twenty bil.ion dollars a year. The prospects for democracy in Latin America in the near future are quite gloomy. Only six of the twenty repubtics have anything that remotely approaches our type of government. In the first place, democracy is im- possible in Latin America until the people have been taught how to use democracy properly. The republics do not have the same aversion to gov- ernments and systems like those of Germany and Italy as we do. In fact, they rather admire their brutal efficiency. This helps to explain Latin America's hesitancy, until recently, to cooperate with us. Most of the republics have tried our form of undiluted democracy, but all have failed. Their congresses and their armies w-ere all well-figed with men who wanted to be president and none of whom had any qualms of con- scince about disposing of the president in power. As a result, the presi- dents would be either killed off, or retired under careful supervision. There are so many Ecuadorean ex-presidents living in Guayaquil and Quito that one wit suggested that they form a national association, and if they were a little younger, they could easily form two baseball teams. But Latin America's most important stumbling block is her economy. She has and will probably always have an agricultural economy and will have to make the best of it. The reason for this is that the countries are not suited for heavy industry. They have little coal and iron and few skilled workmen. Latin America's agriculture is even weaker in certain respects than her industries. Even in the United States, not very large sums of money pass through a farmer's hands during the course of a year, though he has several l24l Tzeens of tr: nsporting his produce to centers of population. But in Latin America there are no roads. Consequently, many farmers do not send their crops out ind therefore they see very little cash during the year. With no lcash tltis means that there are no markets for business to be established becrrs A :Here is no cash to support these industries. Even if there is a railroad within fifty miles, the chances are that the farmer dcesn't know that it ev-en exists. And who is going to cart produce over muddy mires of mountain roads to something of whose existence he is ignorant? The coffee industry has its troubles too. Each year, thousands of tons of Brazilian coffee are burned up because there is so much grown. And it doesn't -:ven burn very well either. The rest of the crop is a glut on the market and ruins the economies of the other coffee-growing countries. South America's low-grade cotton cannot compete with the high-grade cotton grown in the United States. Nor can it compete with the low-grade African cotton because that is grown with still cheaper black labor. These .coffee and cotton plantations have to continue to grow these crops because they neither know how nor have the money to change crops and methods. Consequently, a big majority of Latin Americans do not earn over a hundred dollars a year. And a hundred dollars per capita isn't going to buy many refrigerators. automobiles, or washing machines. Thus I have pointed out some of Latin America's problems and how they were brought cn, in part, by her history and the geography peculiar to the countries. Here is whrft the United States is doing to solve these prob- lems: She is lending crop experts to the various governments who are teaching Latin Americans better crop planning and different techniques: industrial technicians, who are helping them to improve their industrial machine, experts on government organization, on sanitation, on labor rela- tions, and especially experts on public education. Also through the Export- Import Bank, she is lending money to stabilize their currencies which are shaky as a result of the present war. Perhaps when the present war is over and when her economic system has been str-engthened and modernized, Latin America will in the future be able to stand on her own two fe-et and form a united bloc of nations rather than a group of twenty republics all struggling in competition with each other, as they now are. FREDERICK HARRINGTON FX E251 CLASS MDTTO What is to como we know not. But we know That what has been was good-was good to show, Better to hide, and best of all to bear. We, the class of 1941, rea.ize that we have to pattein our own lives as we think best. No one can do it for us. We must have the ambition and initil tive, to think and act for ourselves. When we receive our diplomas tonight, we are masters of our own fate. We shall realize that we have to think for ourselves. We alone are to make our lives out of the few experinces we have hall during our high school career. Perhaps the folowing poem may b. s. signify the meaning of our motto: You say the world is goomy, The skies are grim and gray, The night has lost its quiet, You fear the coming days? The world 15 what you make it. The sky is gray or blue Just as your soul may paint it, It isn't the world-it's you! Clear up the clouded vlslon, C.ean out the foggy mind, The clouds are a.ways passing, And each is silver lined. The world is what you make it- And when you say it's gloomy It isn't the world-it's you! The world is just as hard and cruel as we choose to make it. We must go out and face lt unafraid, climbing the heights to fame s.owly, step by step until we acquire th-e place in lile for wllich we so faithfully struggled. SOYHQEIIIIQS it may seem that we are confused by unconquerable cir- CLIIHSLLADCQ, but il we have undying faith in ourselves we wil. not flinch beneath the Hbludgeonings of chance but keep our heads high, unbowed. We have to make our own place in the world. Word wont come to us, we must go after it with indomitable courage and determination. There will be some people who wil. try to discourage us. They will say the world of today gives no chance for young people. We must not listen to those pessimists who believe that life is just one hardship after another. We can and Will go on our way with undaunted spirit, seeking perpetually our place in society. Uur minu and will are the making or breaking of us. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. IRVINA JONES. l26l CLASS HISTORY PART I September 8, 1937 was a great day for the students of Duxbury who were merited the privilege of sai-ing on the good ship Class of '41 of D. H. S.. which roamed on the High School Seas. The students who had received notification of their merit the preceding June wele al. on the Wnari at 0 zoo. ll he students wno were not interested in talking over events of the summer noticed that a few members were not present. Arthur Martin told us that he was not prepared to go on with usg so ne politely excused himself. Ray Delano was with us, but he informed us that he intended to get OIT at some port very soon. He to.d us he was head- ing south. Two members were introduced to us as Thomas Taylor and Arthur Verge who had been members ofthe ship that had sailed one year oefore us. Just off the coast of Sixth Week Island, a small boat came along side us with a few people who intended to try the experience of the voyage on the good snip U. H. S. uaptain Aennetn lvlacomoer introduced the new passengers as Hannah Swett and Robert Herdman. Both of them came from Maine. Bill Rothwell was the other new passenger. He came to us from Boston. Later, just after passing Third Term Island, some of the passengers admitted that they were sea-sick and asked lf they might be put ashore. Their requests were granted although we were sorry to see them go. The' following passengers were put ashore: Ray Delano, Stan McAuliffe, and Mary Perry. The passengers were so thrilled by the new experience that they did not have as many meetings as they should have had. I recall that the officers for that year were: President . Martha Nickerson Vice-president . Doris Prince Secretary ..... Nancy O'Neil Treasurer ..... Ann Peterson Although the log book with the records of the few meetings was lost, someone remembered that we had our dance on March 8, 1938. The first year was spent mostly in learning the rules and regulations of D. H. S. and preparing ourselves for the years that were to come. In June of 1938 the good ship Class of '41 put into Duxbury Harbor. During the summer months while the passengers were on a vacation, the ship was getting swabbed from stem to stern. After the lazy month of August had drifted by, last call was given to all those that wanted to sail on the Sophomore Ocean. Almost all of the passengers were on time to catch the boat, but a few missed it. Because of sickness, Phoebe Shirley decided that she was unpre- pared to take a chance on the Sophomore Ocean: so she once more sailed on Freshman Sea. The Freshman Sea fascinated Mona Scholpp and Norman E271 Short, so they engaged passage on the ship that had just been built for that voyage. One new name was added to the list of passengers. Arthur Brad- ford had left Kingston to join us. The ship, our home for the next nine months, set sail on September 7, 1938, as scheduled, at 8:30. The first day on board was spent getting ac- quainted with our new surroundings and also getting equipment that we were to use in the future. The President of the previous year called a meeting to vote for officers for the ensuing year. They were: President .... Malcolm Mosher Vice-president . Martha Nickerson Secretary .... Norma MacKenney Treasurer ..... Joel Newman From the dates submitted by us for a class dance, Mr. Green, the Admiral of the fleet, approved of the date November 18. Committees were immediately chosen to take charge. A sports dance was decided upon with football being the principal motif. The dance was a great success. When we were about half way across the ocean, an airplane flew over head. Carl Sampson signalled the plane to land. Carl's intention was to leave us and go out into the world. When it was learned that a plane had landed near us, many others expressed their desire to leave. Th-e passen- gers who left were: Hallet Fraser, Esther Parks, Synnove Strom, Carl Sampson, Bill Rothwell, Carol Crowe, and Hannah Swett. A special meeting was called on December 20, and we were told that if the dues were not paid by the 23rd, the class would have to disband as an organization. Some of the dues were then paid, but some still forgot. We had many storms on the Sophomore Ocean, but we came through all of them with flying colors. The strong currents of life tried to swerve us from our course many times, but we all fought back and almost a.l of us won our individual battle. We were now ready to sail on the Junior Sea, but first we were in need of a vacation. WINTHROP HAGMAN PART II It was the ninth day of September, 1939, a peaceful autumnal day, radiant with the sunshine of hope. cheer and joyous promise, that the good ship Class of 1941 of Duxbury High School stood at anchor at the wharf of its Junior Year. As soon as all the passengers arrived, the anchor was drawn up and with smiling faces eager to start our voyage on the Junior Sea, we waved good-bye to our friends and parents once more. There were only two who didn't return to take passage on the boat with us Joel Newman, and Nina Pierce, who went ahead to the S-nior Port. John Donahue was a new addition in September. Barbara Morton joined us in October and Carl Heise left in April. The rest of us voyagers congratu- lated each other upon the mutual pleasure of long-er companionship together. When we became accustomed to our new boat and had made the ac- quaintance of our new Captain, Mr. A. Kempton Smith, we chose for our ship's oflicers: President . Frederick Harringtcn Vice-president Martha Nicl-:arson Secretary . Norma MacKenn-ey Treasurer . . . . Irvina Jones Student Counc il Members l28l Ann Peterson Norma MacK-enney Kendall Blanchard We made plans early for our sports dance which was held November 3, and we were fully rewarded, for it was a complete success. The decora- tions were a great credit to us. Everyone remarked about the college ban- ners and the efligy of a football player which stood staunchly near the or- chestra on the stage. We can also boast of many athletes during our school career. The boys who were on the basketball team during our junior year were: Dick Verge, Mac Mosher, Clint Sampson, Assistant-Manager and Horace Walker, Manager. The girls who were on the team were: Doris Prince, Edith Peterson, Earla Chandler, Helen Mosher, Martha Nickerson, Assist- ant-Manager, and Irvina Jones, Manager. After the basketball season ended many of us were busy practicing for the operetta Star Flower which was given in May and later repeated for the Parent Teachers' Association. We barely had time to settle ourselves again into the routine life on ship-board when we were told that we would have to make plans for the Reception to be given to the Seniors on June 20. Everyone in the class gave a helping hand in decorating the Dall room with the senior class colors, maroon and white, and flowers. 'ihe seniors were both pleased and sur- prised to find that the juniors had so much ability. We just .et them marvel and didn't tell them that we made some delicious punch but had forgotten to buy any paper cups with which to serve it. The Reception was our last junior activity and after two months' rest we gathered together at the Senior Pier for one more year of companion- ship. There were twenty-three names written in the ship's log. When ex- amining it closely we noticed that Irving Whitney and Helen Mosher were among the missing. Bud took passage on the junior boat again, and Helen was evidently tired of boat rides, so went ashore. The name of a newcomer, Warren King, was erased from the list the second week of school before we had a cn1nce to know him. and Jack Donahue asked to be let off at a port during November. Counting all the additions and subtractions, we now number twenty-two who are docking at the Commencement Wharf. A few days after our voyage on the Senior Sea began, our ship's Cap- tain, Mr. Leroy MacKenney, advised us to elect our Senior Ship ofiicers. They are : President . . Edith Peterson Vice-president Martha Nickerson Secretary . . Norma MacKenney Treasurer . . . . Irvina Jones Student Council Members ..... Doris Prince 5 Norma MacKenney i Arthur Verge Ann Peterson was the President of the Student Council this year. Our Senior Dance, held on October 11, 1940, was anxiously awaited by the girls who were wondering whether some of the boys had learned to dance through the summer months. No one had. At least, none of us girls saw them. We were the first class to start the custom of decorating the lunch room cafeteria on the first deck. It proved to be a worthwhile under- taking, financially and socially. For many nights through October and November eleven members of the class practiced for our Senior Play, Nothing But the Truth , under the direction of Miss Nancy Horton. We shook all our fears away the night of December 6. and before we knew it the play was spoken of in the past tense. Those in the play were: l 29 l Richard Prince, Norma MacKenney, Frederick Harrington, Martha Nickerson, Clarence Walker, Irvina Jones, Arthur Bradford, Doris Prince, Kendall Blanchard Nancy O'Neil, Earla Chandler. The rest of the class members gave much time to committees to make the production of the play possible. On November 19 the baskeba.l season began. Dick Verge and Mac Mosher, were co-captains during this thrilling championship year and Clinton Sampson was manager. 'il.e boys won the South Shore League Championship on February 25. The girls didn't get the cup but deserved it as much as the team which did. This year's captain was Edith Peterson who had Doris Prine., Irvina Jones, Earla Chandler, and Martha Nickerson, Manager, on the team from the senior ciiss The end of the school voyage is here. The tides of our av-erages hav-3 continued to ebb and fiowg examination questions have tried to overwhelm us, but not many have succeeded. These twenty-two remaining have been able to procure the necessary passport at the entrance of each s.1cceedQng sea, and have paid the pric-e for the passage in hard work. We look ahead to a greater ocean. We shall go on writing new logs of greater adventure, for while the Voyag-e of Duxbury High School Life is at an end for the Class of 1911, the voyage of real life is just at its Cori- mencement. NORMA MACKENNEY E301 CLASS PROPHECY Edith P.- You know Nancy, it's been a long time since we've graduated, and I've been wondering what every one is doing now: so I sent for the copy of Whois Who for the year of 1960. I just know they'll all be in there. Here. take one, and .etis look them over. Edith P.- Look, here under the B's is Arthur Bradford. He's a real success, for it says here, 'the inventor of the first airplane that could carry a trailer along with it !' Nancy O.- Here's one of our old classmates, Pete. Martha Nickerson, a well-known band-leader. It sounds good. That Rippy-tippy Martzy Ellicgerson and her band, now playing at the ritzy Muskrat and Beaver u . Edith P.- And look here! It seems that Evelyn Edwards and Irvina Jones are still together. Irvina is running for the ofiice of Constable for Mounce City, and poor little Evelyn is wearing herself out working for her. She has taken it upon herself to make a three hour soap box speech on every corner in Mounce city. It says their slogan is 'For Security and Protection, vote for Honest, Upright. Dependable J ones.' Nancy 0.-- And here's Mac Mosher and Dickie Verge. They've found fame together as comedians. A twosome whose names are plastered all over Broadway-the second Charlie MacCarthy and Edgar Bergen. Edith P.-I think I'll look in the back of the book for a while. Here's Walker, Clarence Walker. You know, he was the all star pitcher on our baseball t8..1.l. Well, he nas linnliy worked himself up to the position of manager for the Boston Bee's. Nancy O.- Morton, Barbara Morton, the baby of our class. It says she's the principal of a girls' private school. It seems she started it herself and the ambition of thousands of girls all over the continent is to go there. Edith P.- Oh and Ann Peterson! Listen to this! She has written a book, 'How to Win Friends and Please People'. I guess if anyone were to write a book like that, sh-e'd be the best qualified. Nancy O.- And here's Freddie Harrington. He is now the Postmaster- General of the United States. He must have lost his shyness to work him- self up to that position. Edith P.- A-B-Burns, Frances Burns. You remember her. She was that extra bright girl in our class. It says here she is head dean of Welles- ley College where she teaches Psychology, Anthropology, Phrenology, and Ethnologyf' Nancy O.- I see where that spirited soul of Dick Prince's has settled down to something more than plucking the heartstrings of beautiful young ladies. He is now in the Bombo Bombo Jungle in the heart of Africa hunting rare specimens. I 31 l Edith P.- Here's Kay Blanchard. Kay Blanchard is hired by station WBZ. He's the man that sits in the studio and laughs when the pro- gramme conductor holds up that little sign after a joke. Ncmcy O.- Here's Larry Raymond. Since he inherited all that money he's been taking it easy. He's now cruising the northern Pacific and will later join an expedition to the North Pole. Edith P.- Prince, Doris-Oh, yes, you know Dolly was a roller-skating fan. It says Doris Prince has been the main attraction at the Boston Arena for the past ten years. She holds the record for being the only girl who has ever jitterbugged on roller skates on a tight rope fifty feet above the ground. Nancy O.- Here's our great, big, strong, Winnie Hagman. He's gone from setting pins up in the Duxbury Bowling Alley to owning a chain of alleys all the way across the United States. Edith P.- I wonder what Earla's doing. Here she is. Why she's working right in Duxbury High School. The Partridge Staff found that they couldn't get along without Earla to type for them, so she has had a per- manent position there, ever since she graduated. Nancy O.- And who'd 've thought that our bashful Tommie Taylor would rise to fame in Hollywood as the super-super heart-smashing Romeo of 1960. Edith P.- Let's see, we haven't looked Norma up yet. J, K, L, M, MacKenny. Well, look at this! She's still going to the University of Main. I guess she found that she needed more than four years to get acquainted with all those dashing young men. Nancy O.- And did you know that Clint Sampson owns five mansions in different parts of the country. One in Maine, one in Florida, one in Cali- fornia, one in Kentucky and one in New York, Clint likes to lounge around you know. Well, Pete, our classmates didn't do so badly for themselves, did they? We certainly hope they will continue to be just as successful in the future. NANCY O'NEIL EDITH PETERSON i321 CLASS WILL Four happy years have soon flown by And our minds are still quite clear. We hereby set forth our testament For those we hold so dear. I Norma MacKenney, our Latin Queen, Can translate at a glance. I She advises Arthur Edwards To do some work in advance. II Clinton Sampson, who sleeps in class, Will give up once a week, Those naps, to Robert Bunten And give others a chance to speak. III Horace Walker will add his excuses Of not being able to type To Irving Whitney's list of old ones That have long since been over-ripe IV Doris Prince, who draws so well, Leaves her occupation Of Art Editor, to those hopefuls Who have an inspiration. V Dickie Verge leaves to Marshall Freeman His wit and a new set of jokes, For his supply is getting low, And work no more on us folks. VI Edith Peterson leaves her humor That makes the classroom shine, To Dorothy Eldridge, that quiet gal, Who should be good at this line. VII Irvina Jones bequeaths her nerve For those who wish to claim A high position in this world. For we must work for all our fame. VIII and IX Larry Raymond and Winthrop Hagman Are pals we all admire. They leave their examples as perfect scholars For next years students to acquire. I :ITT J X Mac Mosher was voted one of the shieks, And wants to leave his fame To his little brother, Billy, Who will carry on the Mosher name. XI Ann Peterson bequeaths the twinkle That is shining in her eyes, For Eleanor Raymond, the junior belle, To flash at the passer-byes. XII Tommy Taylor leaves his reserve To Sammy Teravainen.
