M ,? .., E' A ! if ll l Pt GRADUATION .,v HONOR ESSAY The Post War World f - 7 I , f Although our thoughts today are concerned mainly with the problems of the present, we should devote some time to the future, to the peace which is to come. What kind of peace will it be? This World War II isf a decisive war, a war between two types of governments, Hitlerism, and government mainly by the people of a country. Thus, although a negotiated peace is possible, more probable is total victory- by one side. In considering governmental organization after the war, it has been found that th-ere are three possible plans for the world. The first, indi- vidual ,nations balancing their power against one another by means of treaties and alliances, has operated in the world for many years and has failed to prevent wars. The s-econd is world domination by the victor. The third calls for some form of world organization of free, self-governing peoples, based on ideals of freedom and cooperation and also upon facts of economics and geography. Through the process of elimination the first plan is discarded because it has caused numerous wars and conflicts. The second plan is also aban- doned since the allies are iighting this war to prevent world domination by the Fascists. The third plan has received considerabl-e thought and is one to which we should devote our attention. A broad base for the formation of a world organization of free, self- governing peoples was set forth in eight idea s formed by President Roose- velt and Prime Minister Churchill in the Atlantic Charter. In this they stated that they were seeking no territory, that territorial changes and forms of government should be determined by the people, that there should be freedom of trade, access to raw materials by all, improved labor stand- ards, economic advancement social s-ecurity, freedom from fear and want. traverse of the high seas and oceans without hindrance, and the abandon- ment of force and use of armaments. With th-e Atlantic Charter as a basis, Louis Adamic in his book Two- Wuy Pzzssq-gf' suggests that a Unit-ed States of Europe be formed. After the war the United States should send over an army mostly made up of the American-born sons of immigrants to help Europe develop an economic system that will work, a system similar to the American system-a mixture of private property, controlled industry, public works, socialism, and com- munism. Co-operatives, great continental labor movements, collective bar- gaining, and working unity should b-e encouraged. A tremendous -effort should be made to create a democratic revolution, a revolution for freedom l18l' The democratic syst-em of the United States of America has worked for forty-eight separate and united statesg and for three-quarters of a century there has been no conflict between one state and another, but complete harmony and unity. If this system works in one land, why can't it work in another? Another p-an has been suggested by Clarence Streit in his book Union Noun Hi: brlieves that the world organization can be improved by the im- mid ate fcirgation of a union of the democracies. As soon as other countries wlsx .2 accept the principles of the union they can be admitted, thus evlntually spreading throughout the world. This union would have full power in making war and peace, and also over trade, money, communica- tions, and ciiizinship within the Union. Voting power would be propor- ticnate to its se 1'-gov-ei ning population. ilies- ai- only some of the proposals. What sort of peace will follow this x.'a-- cuzpnot be prophesied, but it can be planned. If we plan for a pe c that w--i be eternal peace, the boys on the batt.-eiields, on the seas, and in tize .ii :nd gn: people cn the home front will fight harder, making vic.o1-y c.cs--r to hand. PHOEBE SHIRLEY I 19 J HONOR ESSAY Grand Coulee Dam The eighth wonder of the world, man's most massive masonry struc- ture on earth, three times larger than the largest Egyptian pyramid, lies within the border of the United States in the state of Washington. It is the Grand Coulee Dam which harnesses the Columbia River, the greatest potential source of useful energy of the rivers of the United States. More water flows from the mouth of the Columbia every year than flows from the mouth of the Mississippi. The Grand Coulee Dam was started in th-e winter of 1933-34 by the Consolidated Builders. Inc. This dam is being built under the authorization of the Columbia Basin Reclamation Project, which comes under the Bureau of Reclamation of the Department of the Interior. This bureau in the past 38 years has built 160 dams, which have regulated streams and conserved water now irri- gating over 3,000,000 acres of land. The Grand Coulee Dam derives its name from the Grand Coulee, the old river bed of the Columbia River, which will serve as a reservoir for the water that will bring new life to the parched lands of Central Washington. The irrigation of the rich land of central Washington with the water of the Columbia has been dreamed of since the days of the early settlers. Now, the enforced abandonment of eroded and sub-marginal land, the natural increase in population, and the desire for improvement in standards in living, make it necessary. Modern equipment and methods, electrical power, and federal financing make it possible. Before the actual work on the dam itself could be started, about twenty- two and a half billion tons of earth, gravel. and rock had to be removed. two towns, a bridge, a railroad, a high tension power lin-eg telegraph and telephone lines had to be built, and a whole hill had to be frozen with six miles of refrigerating pipes to ke-ep it from sliding into the river. After these prelminary preparations, the dam itself was begun. Eleven billion two hundred-fifty thousand cubic yards of concre-te and seventy- seven m.illion pounds of re-enforcing steel went into its construction besides tons of sheet steel pilings and millions of feet of lumb-er. Enough concrete was used to make two sixteen-foot highways from coast to coast. It measures five hundred feet in width at its base and thirty feet in width at its crest. It is 3,000 feet in length at its base and 4,300 feet long at its crest. There are two immense power-houses at each end of the dam. Each one is larger than the Capitol of th-e Unit-ed States. In these there will be placed eighteen turbines and eighteen generators capable of generating' 1,950,000 kilowatts of electricity, eno-ugh electricity to make t-in solid aluminum Washington Monuments in one year. E201 In order to raise the great amount of water, needed for irrigation, 208 feet into the Grand Coulee, ten pumps of enormous size will be installed at the dam. One of these pumps alone could supply New York City with enough water to take care of all its domestic needs. The water. which these pumps will raise into the Grand Coulee, will in the next twenty-five to fifty years, give new life to 1,200,000 acres of sagebrush and mirage. On this restored land, homes for 40,000 families will be provided. and about as many in towns in the irrigated areas. This project will be self-liquidating by the payments from the settlers for water rights and from the purchasers of electric power. Now that the United States is at war, the power generated by the Grand Coulee Dam will become a valuable asset towards the final attain- mint of compete victory over the Axis nations. KENNETH ROBERT BUNTEN, JR. lill I-IONGR ESSAY The American Indian Before the coming of the paleface, the Indians of America had made little progress in a material way and were truly children of nature. No one knows where the Indian came from, but it is believed by many scientists that they came to this continent by crossing from Asia at Bering Strait or farther south by a passage which has now disapppeared. The straight, black hair, the broad face with high cheekbones, the aquiline nose, the slightly Chinese slant of the eye, and the scant beard are distinguishing features of the Indian. The basis of virtue with the Indian was self control. Each was re- quired to conceal his emotions and to stand torture without flinching. Theft and crime were so unknown to the Indians that there were no rules for punishment, and an Indian always kept a promise no matter what happ-ened. It is readily thought that th-e chieftain of the tribe controlled every- one's rights and ways, but that is not so. Each man governed himself with respect for the rights of his neighbors, and nothing was l-eft for the chief to do but to carry out the will of the tribe. Ceremonies featured by the smoking of the calumet, a stone pipe, marked the beginning and the end of a war. During wartime the warriors of battle daubed bright paint on their bodies and donned war bonnets of eagle feathers. When an Indian died, he was buried in a sitting position with his choice belongings beside him, for after leaving his prcscnt honie, the Indian believed his soul would move to a different and more prosperous on-e. Many peop.e think of the Indian as being merely a hunter, a fisher, and last of all a fighter. But the Indian had many sgorts and games which he enjoyed. One of these was gambling, which was considered exce-i.nt sport. Another is the game of LaCrosse which has been taken over by the whites. The Indian has many beautiful and weird legends. That of Hiawatha has a permanent place in literature. Many of the Indian traditions re- semble the o-d Bible stories, for the most part thos-e of Joseph. Other tal-es are of the anima.s building the world, or bringing iire to men or are tragic romances. The Indian had great skill in weaving textiles and baskets and in making stone weapons. But with the coming of the metal utensils and machine-woven c.oth, the skil-ed arts to which the children of nature were adapted, vanished. The breakdown of the native culture was inevitable once the white man had entrenched himself in the New World. Whole tribes were swept away and others reduced greatly by new diseases introduced into the country by the settlers. The introduction of alco-hol did its part to break down the pride and spirit of the Indian. i221 The American Indians have left many gifts to the world. Among the plants developed by them are maize, beans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which are now four of the leading foods of the world. In addition. the Indian was the discoverer of quinine, cocaine, tobacco, and rubber, which are also very useful in these modern times. Many of us have read how Squanto taught the settlers at Plymouth to raise corn, thus enabling the colony to be partly self-supporting. Without maize, both Jamestown and Plymouth would have almost certainly failed, and the settlements along the Atlantic would have been delayed many years. Today, the blood of the American Indian flows in the veins of many of our leading citizens. Indian contributions to civilization and mankind are encountered on every hand, but their story as a separate people now is a subject of history and a record of the past. DOROTHY ELDRIDGE l23l CLASS MOTTO PART I. Faith in America is Faith in Ourselves Our class did not choose this motto because it fits into the trend of thought at this time, but because we believe in what our motto means. During these times our motto cannot be read without some thought being given to present world conditions. Webster gives the definition of faith as the state of acknowledging unquestioningly the existence and power of a supreme being and the reality of a divine order. To acknowledge unquestioningly means to have complete confidence in, or to believe in. Believing in America is not a task for anyone. The immigrants that have com-e over here had faith that in America they would all have equal opportunities for personal achievements. They have had faith that their children would be able to rise above the lower class and have the same chance as a natural born American. If these immigrants who were not acquainted with America could believe in it, it is not hard to understand that we, Americans, are ready to give our lives to defend it. ELEANOR RAYMOND PART II. Unity In our struggle for independence from England, it was necessary for the colonists to band together to protect the faith they had built up in a new country. Even though they had to look forward to hardships with crude methods of life, they fought for their freedom rather than live under Parliamentary rule. They won their independence with all the odds against them. We must do the same. Faith in America me-ans the same as faith in ourselves, for we are America. Living under parliam.entary rule wasn't nearly so bad as living under a dictatorship would be, yet the early colonists all had faith in the same thing, and all expressed it by doing everything in their power to aid America in winning her independence. Six times America has been successful. The one reason for this has been faith. Whether in war or peace we must learn to face the hardships which are part of our freedom and faith.

Because Phoebe Shirley, Mona Scholpp, Robert Herdman, Norman Short, and Stanley McAuliffe had miss- ed the last train they also boarded ours. The passengers were so thrilled with the experience of starting on this trip, that they forgot about class meetings until October 3 when the officers for the coming year were elected. They were: President .... Robert Bunten Vice President . . George Teravainen Secretary ..... Mona Scholpp Treasurer .... Phoebe Shirley Looking through the records, we find that our class dance was held on March 24, 1939. Since Arthur Hammond, Norman Short, and Stanley McAuliffe found that our accommodations were not up to their expectations, they decided to leave us. The first year of our trip was spent mostly in pregaratiin for the years that were to ccme. In June, 1959, our train pulled into the staticn which was called Vaca- tion where we were to spend the summer months. After the .ong needed rest was over, we once more boarded the Lim- ited 42 which was to take us cn to the sophomore station. In examining the passenger l-st, we missed Theodore Whitcomb and Barbara Scott, two of our former pass-angers, but found that the accom- modations of th-e Limited 42 had met the requirements of Synnove Strom, Daniel Winsor, Stuart Lagergren and Melvi-le Holmes. The President of the previous year called a meeting to elsct officers for our sophomore year. 'lhey were: Pr-esident .... George Teravainen Vice President .... Robert Bunten Secretary . . Phoebe Shirley Treasurer . . . Marguerite Chandler Historian .... Harriet McNeil From the dates submitted to the students, March 29, 1940, was chosen for our dance. The dance was very successful. As the train pulled into our mid-year term, Synnove Strom expressed her desire to leave us and go into training as a nurse. We enjoyed greatly those memorable years with their difliculties and pleasures. I will now turn the controls over to John Alden, who will continue the trip into the junior and senior stations. HELEN TAYLOR I253 PART II. During the summer vacation of 1940, the passengers of the Limited 42 had such a burst of enthusiasm and wanted to soar to such high levels, that they decided to continue the trip by air. One by one they piled outlof the faithful train and hurried to a streamlined airliner, The Dreadnaught of 42. Marguerite Chandler, that dainty gal we liked so much, parachuted into space after the first week-to land on the roof of a girls' prep school and a few weeks later, we sorrowfully heard, above the roar of the motors, that Laurel Cahoon and Norma Gates, who had joined us at the Freshman station on the Limited 42 , would have to leave us. Also, Bud Whitney, who is now in Pearl Harbor, joined us that year. We decided to hold our class dance on November 15, 1940. Our class officers were: President .... Phoebe Shirley Vice President . . Harriet McNeil Secretary . Laurel Cahoon-Letitia LeCain Treasurer .... Eleanor Raymond Historian .... Dorothy Eldridge After Laurel Cahoon left, Letitia LeCain took her place as class sec- retary. Again we heard some sad news-Rose Burdick-honor roll first, last and always was her slogan,-was goin to leave us. She was bound for Randolph. The rest of the trip was spent uneventfully in our cabins, everybody enjoying our reception at the end of the year. The Dread- naught landed on June 18, 1941, our passengers dispersing to enjoy their various summer occupations. The last part of our trip was spent as one gay, glorious time, especially with Shirley Shaw, Eleanor Field, and Bi-l Buckingham as newcomers,- with the class play,- The Mad Hatters ,-and our Hallowe'en dance the big events of the fall season. Meivil.e Holmes who joined us on the train Limited 42 in 1938, had stayed from our crew and had not returned this year, Sylvia O'Neil left us late in March. Our class officers for this year were: President, Pilot ..... Eleanor Field Vice President. Co-Pilot . . Lloyd Blanchard Secretary, Navigator . . . M. Freeman Treasurer ...... Letty LeCain Historian ...... Phoebe Shirley Then, with graduation in the oHing, and everybody busy, the Dreadf- naught throttled down and finally made its last landing on this June 19, 1942. The happy days we spent in Duxbury High will never be forgotten. JOHN ALDEN l26'l CLASS PROPI-IECY Harriet- Well, Mona Scholpp, how on earth did you ever get to heaven- never mind-don't bother to answer-I can imagine that you used the same tactics on poor Saint Peter that you used on Hogie when you were on earth. Monaf- Okay, you're so smart. Suppose you tell me how you happened to get in. Harriet- Oh, my great, great, grandfather knew the right saints. Say. what are you looking at anyway ? Mona- Why, I'm looking down on all our classmates. Don't you remun- ber that twenty-five years ago today we graduated from D. H. S.? Draw up a cloud and look on! Say! Harriet, is that E.eanor Field crawling out from under that car ? Harriet- Yes, that's Baby -She's head mechanic at Cushing Brothers' Garage now. She got her training in the Duxbury Motor Corps way back when she was in high school, and she became so good at pulling cars apart and even putting them back together again, correctly, that all the garages are trying to hire her now. Mona,- Boy! Who is that sleek looking fellow in the tux with a beautiful girl on each arm? Harriet- Oh, that's Bob Herdman. He's the owner of the Tiosey Ripsey Night Club. Don't some people do the most amazing things ? Mom.- Je1lo! There's Jack Benny still on the air! U-m-m, even the hair on his toupee has fallen out! Harriet- Holy smokes! Isn't that Helen Taylor with him? Mona- Sure! Ever since Mary Livingstone and Jack broke up, Helen has taken Mary's place. She's even funnier than the great Benny himself. Harriet- Well, well, there's Dottie Eldridge riding down the street with Willard Mills, the same old iiame she had during her high school days. You know, Mona, they say that Willie's so bashful, Dottie hasn't been able to get him to pop the question yet. Mona- Did you hear that Eleanor Raymond and Dickie Prince just got married? Harriet-f'Oh, did they? How come it was delayed so long? Monaf- Well, when Dickie was studying in Michigan, the gas rationing started, and as he could only get a very few gallons a week-well, you can see why it was delayed. Harriet- Look, there's Larry Marshall coming out of his famous Cure All Sanitorium. You know that's where all the society women go to rest up and have their nerves soothed and their worries ironed out by Dr. Marshall. Harriet- What in the world ever became of Opie Blanchard, Mona ? Mona,- Well, Opie certainly surprised me. Do you remember the picture we took of him with his flash camera ? Harriet- Do you mean the one that we all labeled 'The Wolf ? ' Mona- Uh-huh, that's the one. Well, believe it or not he's made a lot of money on that picture. He sent it in to the Wolf's Head Oil Company, and they use it all the time now for advertising purposes. And besides that, since Johnnie Weismuller died, Opie's been acting the part of Tarzan. L27l Mona-- And there's Sammy Teravainen. What are those papers he's look- ing over ? HfL'7 7 i8t-Cioll, Sammy's still looking ov-er co.lege folders trying to decide which college to go to. He wants one where the most basketball is play-ed and where two-thirds of the beautiful gir.s go. Mona- Harriet, do you remember how Betty Green's ambition in high school was always to meet people? H'a1'1'iet- Yes! By the way, isn't that she down there now? Mona- Yes, Betty is the greatest high-trapeze artist in the world. She loves her work, and she meets loads of people. Look! There she is in the middle of her act! She'd better meet that trapeze in the air, or s11e'll be playing a harp too. Mona- I wonder why all the actors and actresses are so much better dressed than they used to be? Hawtiet- Surely you've heard of Hollywod's Chic Shop ? Mona- Oh. yes ! Harriet-- But didn't you know that Gladys Black and Shirley Shaw own it? Mona- No. Really? Harriet- Yes. They formed a partnership and brought their talent in dress designing to Hollywood. Now everyone profits by it. Mona- Look! There's Bill Buckingham! You remember him, don't you? Ha.r1'!iet- Of course I do. Mona- Did you know that he has written several books cn etiquette? And if you ask me he's got one of the most difficult jobs in the world? Harriet- Why? What's he doing? Mona- Well, if you look closely, you'll see that he's trying to teach the students of D. H. S. a few tabl-e manners while they devour the.r Stli',i.!S commodities. Mona- It seems that another one of our classmates is a big success out in Hollywood. Harriet- Oh. yes, that's Zulmira Fernandes, the tiny girl in our class. Mofna- Let's see-she always Wanted to be a beautician didn't she ? ' Harr1'et- Yes, and she's a second Perc Westmore now. You should s:3 the wonders she's performed on the faces of some of those actresses. Harriet- For goodness sake, isn't that Phoebe Shirley down there ? Mona- Yeah, she's trying out for her automobil-e license again. Haffrriet- Why I thought she got her license when we were in h-gh school. Mona-She did, but she never remembers to have it renewed. It's gotten so now that the examiner takes her out to lunch very year after their little spin. Harriet- What's she doing now ? Mona- Well, not very much. You know Phoebe never was very ambitious. She's just Dean of Duxbury University, President of the Parent Teachers Association, commercial teacher at Boston University, and in her spare time she's still doing all of Mr. Smith's typing. Hcw'1'iet- Duck, Mona ! Mona- Wow! What was that? A bird a fish, or Superman? Harriet- Oh, none of those things. That was just Lettie LeCain in her autogiro. She's a second Amelia Earheart now! Harriet- Hey, isn't that Bob Bunten down there? Mona- It sure is! He's the smartest lawyer in America now, but he's earned his position. You know, Harri-et, it's amazing what some people will do. Why, do you know that Bob was so afraid of missing some if I 23 l Q15 minute bit of learning that he went to Harvard University for eight yearsg then he attended Harvard Law School for ten yearsg th-en he took a post graduate course for three years, and just for a pastime, he's still going to night school. Harriet- Eight years, ten years, three years, still going to night school,- well at that rate he ought to be up here with us before long? Mona- Harriet, have you read President Rooscrelfs Nine Terms In The White House, by Marshall Freeman ? Harriet- Yves, I just finished it. Mona- If there ever are any more presidents, Mr. Roosevelt will prob- ably be their landlord. Look! There's the president now coaxing Marshall to write his next fireside chat. Harriet- In all our travels, we've miss-ed John Alden. Mona- Oh, I know where he is. Harriet-- You do! Where? Mona- Since John has built the Pastinze Playhouse in Duxbury, he has been playing the -eading roles in Ham ct, lllqcbeflz, As You Like It, and after all these years, they've finally found a successor to Rudolph Valen- tino. Hanwiet- Gee, those were the good old days. Sometimes I wish we were back on earth. Mona- Well, if you hadn't been driving that foolish truck the way you a-ways did we'd probably still Le down the1e. Harriet- That's right, blame me. You know it was all your fault. If you hadn't seen Hogie and screamed in my ear, I could have heard that fire siren and gotten out of the way. HARRIET MCNEII. MONA SCHOLPP I 29 l CLASS WILL We, the class of 1942, having lived fully every hour of our last four years, pass on to the rest of the school certain techniques, qualities, and characteristics, which may be of questionab.e value, but which we have found surprisingly useful. Harriet McNeil, whose literary ability has been evident throughout all the issues of the Partridge leaves that ability to any up and coming young person, provided that person can, like Harriet, keep up her school work at the same time. To Miriam Arnold, Lettie LeCain leaves her smoothness in dancing. With this power, Red, you really should stop them cold. Lawrence Marshall has a hidden abi.ity that, like Harriet McNeil's, came into prominence this past year and it is to his broth-er that he leaves this ability, namely his technique for getting extra large scoops on his thirds Alfred should be quick to catch on. Eleanor Field, in making her last bequ-est, wishes to leave to the president of next year's senior class her never-ending giggle. It has livened up many a class meeting for us, and we feel sure the class of 1943 will need some such stimulant. Mona Scholpp's incredible talent for electrifying the boys should not be left to any one girl. It is very gratifying to us as a class to know that Mona is requesting that it be divided among every female in high school. Our only advice is for you gir-s to take it easy. Remember not all the boys are insulated. Opie B anchard, the previously shy, bashful type who suddenly blfs- somed out this year into another Casanova, wills and bequeaths that new found talent to John Williams. It is presumed that he feels that John can benefit li if. To Betty Hughes, Eleanor Raymond leaves her temperamental flare- up. 'lhat's all rignt, Betty, the boys like it, anyway. Tall, lanky Bob Bunten leaves to Billy Mosh-er a foot and a half, which he will never miss, and which should enable Billy to throw those balls flown thrs' gh the basket A pretty good idea, w-e ca.l it. Phoebe Shirley, our intellectual star, leaves her shining example to thc- rcsi C1 the sc.ico!. May they all adopt her motto- Hard work is the shortest way to success. W: a.l know that Shirley Shaw's ambition has been to be tall, dark, and glamorous. In this she has b-een most successful. We were not sur- prised to see that in her last will, she desired to pass on her formula for this achievement to Phyllis Mosher. Betty Green makes but one stipulation in her will, and that is that her thunder bo.t type of vitality and amazing ability go to Justine Delano. provided it keeps her from making those fairly regular trips to the office which Betty has found herself making. To the sophomore boys Bill Buckingham leaves his courteous man- ners, and his ease when conversing with the fairer sex. Can it be that Bill thinks they need any more polish? I Qld I Zulmira Fernandes whose ever ready grin and giggle has endeared her to us a.l, leaves that quality to Betty O'Neil and Janice Dyer. Per- sgnaily we wonder if they need this as much as muci.age or some sort of stick-um to keep them firmly in their seats during Study Hall. Helen Taylor, who believes that actions speak louder than words, wants Pat Shaw to fol-ow in her footsteps, and for that reason leaves her quie- mannerisms to her. We wonder why it is that Robert Herdman leaves to Norman Schaffer the fo.iow-ng recipe for obtaining a diploma: Work constantly, to your fullest capacity with no fooling around, and pay little or practically no attention to th-e oppos-te sex. hell Schaffer, we e..n dream, can't we? Marshall Freeman was indeed far-sighted when he left his quick wit and clever rejoinders to Roy Scho-pp. With Marshalls talents Roy should be really funny. Our class mechanic, John Aden, bequeatls to Melville Sfnnoit that alleged ability. It served as a usefu- alibi for John when he wanted to pass class projects in late. It may get you by Melville. Gladys Black leaves to anyone in charge of refreshments the correct way to corspire so that those in th-e kitch-tn wi-l be served first as well as last. It takes a good executive to plan as well as Gladys has always done. To Miss Downey, who in past years has received innumerable batons, we are going to be different. To you, who are comp.eting your forty-fifth year of teaching We leave our congratulations and admiration for all those years of servivce so conscientiously glvtn. May we all be as successful in our chosen field as you hav-e been in yours. - A motor scooter seems to be the most appropriate thing that we can leave Miss Johnson-one that has a litt.e side ear with ltuss Shirley's name on it, in order to eomp.y with the governments request to conserve on shoe leather, for those innume:ab-e trips to the office must definitely be hard on shoes. Fortunately we W-ere able to pull certain wires and with great difli- culty obtained a mammoth trai er to leave to Mr. Blakeman. We could tlrnl: of noilnng more fitting for him, for it has been a little difficult for him, and hard on the spixngs of his car to crowd the entire basketball team .1..c- nis car each night after practice. To Miss Brooks we leave sufficient black-out material to cover her classroom doors. 'ilhis, more than anything we can think of should relieve the traffic congestion caused by the High Schoo. boys congregating at that end ol' the corridor. A special license for transporting boys to East Bridgewater we be- queath to M.ss Pittman and to eac.1 boy she tal:-es a 550,000 Life Insurance Policy. 'ie Mr. Macember we leave 32.00 and a second-hand tire for his un- forgetable trip to Marshfield. The memory of a perfect history class we bequeath to Miss Manter. We know sh-e wil. never find our equal. To Miss Cornish we .eave a special decoder in case she has to read another class will written in the same kind of hand w.it.ng as 1.i.ne. To Mr. Smith we leave someone who is as hard a worker as Harriet McNeil to Le Editor-in-Chief. I am sure Mr. Smith appreciates this price- less oequeatli. l31l s To Mr. MacKenney we leave innumerable opportvnitifs to us' his proverbial saying, which unquestionably quiets down noisy Stilfly Hs s Twenty-five years from now conversing students will stil hear him ssy. Something is going to drop around here, and it isn't going to be a chocolate drop either. To Eleanor Hodgdon we leave an iron clad constitution to prevent her from sampling her own cooking. She probab y will appreciate this gift. To Miss Horton we leave a rolling pin that she can wield over study ha ls and later over her husband. From all appearances she wil. need no practice in the use of it. To Mr. Bradford we leave a little less vehemence in relating our abili- ties to other coaches about our pow-ers on th-e basketbel court. Mr. Brad- ford elaborated about our record so much that the other coaches fear-ed to play us. Unlike other wills that only become legal after death the makers of this document, the senior class, are not dying but are starting out cn 11 new journey, new experience, and a new life. We hope to be ab e to si:-1 the results of our various bequests. Being fair-y sound in mind and bod ', we do solemnly swear this to be our last will and testament, and we give our official seal to this paper on this nineteenth day of June in the 3-:ar of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-twc.

The boys have read several interesting books: Treasure Island, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Rip Van Winkle. During the year much has been achieved in making things in the shop. Class members have specialized in making tapestry-topped foot-s.ools. kitchen utility boxes, knife holders, electric table lamps, book shelves, and in repairing small pieces of furniture. Many bird houses have been made, both rutsic and modern, during the spring. The boys do their own janitor work, and keep their room looking very neat. As an activity of the citizenship class, during the fall, the boys took a trip to the estate of Ellis Atwood in Carver to meet personally a man that Carver will always remember as a great pub.ic benefactor. Throughout the time of the sugar rationing period, the boys saw that the advance information slips were distributed and returned. lflil 0 - -5 r. -45.5. . , N J 1 r ACTIVITIES I f 'i-0-O .

S TUDEN T COUNCIL The oiiicers of the Student Council were as follows: President George Teravaineng Vice President, Robert Bunteng Secretary, Phoebe Shirley, Treasurer, Robert Peterson. Last December the Student Council started the sale of defense stamps in the school. The stamps were sold three times a week in the reception room. Because this ptan didn't work out satisfactorily, stamps wer-e after- wards sold by the different class representatives to the members of their own class. Since this second plan has been in effect, a greater number of stamps have been sold and also a greater number of pupils have participated in stamp purchases. Betty-Lee Peterson, Phoebe Shirley, and Betty Green w-ere the dele- gates sent to the Student Council Conventions. They attended these once a month for five months, After tire rationing went into eiect, they were unable to attend any mor-e. Three of the conventions took place in Cohasset, Braintree and Duxbury. The new amendments of the Student Council solved many misunder- standings and much confusion which usually took place during elections. These amendments were read on April 6th in each class. The Student Council, which is also the Athletic Association, awards letters to the players. Because the boys again won the South Shore League council.

It was financed by a magazine drive, lobster supper, Town Meeting supper, and a big subscription drive. A net profit of 386.75 was made from the magazine drive, which lasted from November 3 to November 13. The lobster supper was held on October 14 .1942 in the D. H. S. dining room, which represented a Hungarian Courtyard. Forty-five checkered table cloths were colored by hand by students. One hundred and twelve tickets were sold. Several of the teachers prepared the menu of clam stew, lobster, peas, mashed potatoes, cabbage salad, sherbet, rolls, coffee, and apple pie and ice cream. On Friday, March 7, a delicious Baked Bean Supper, sponsored by the Partridge Staff, was given in the Duxbury High School dining room immediately after Town Meeting was adjourned. A menu of baked beans. brown bread, cabbage carrot salad, cold cuts, apple pie, and cheese and coffee was served. The Partridge Magazine came out during the spring term with stories and poems and original linoleum cuts made by the students to illustrate the stories. Delegates went to conventions of the Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publications held in Bridgewater, Easton, and Plymouth. l49l ac, ' SENIOR CLASS PLAY First Row: John Alden, Mona Scholpp, Lawrence Marshall, Harriet McNeil, Eleanor R d B tt G' . aymon , e y ieen Second Row: Gladys Black, Dorothy Eldridge, George Teravainen, Robert Bunten, Phobe Shirley, Miss Nancy Horton. The class of '42 put on what was generally considered one of the finest senior class plays D. H. S. has ever had. The play, THE MAD HATTERS, was directed and produced by Miss Nancy Horton who did such a splendid job with last year's senior play. SENIOR CLASS PLAY THE MAD HATTERS was an excellent comedy about a slightly 'wacky' family, none of whom had ever earned his living. Since Mr. Hatter's air- minded mother provided for them, each member of the family devoted all of his time to his respective hobby. The play shows the amusing reactions of this family when Grandma Hatter decides to make them prove their abilities or forfeit their income within three months. The cast included: Joe Hatter, nuts about fishing, Lawrence Marshallg Margaret Hatter, nuts about dramatics, Sylvia O'Neilg Gigi, nuts about athletics, Betty Green, Bunny, nuts about photography, John Alden, Grand- ma Hatter, nuts about flying, Phoebe Shirley, Diana, nuts about Henry, Eleanor Raymondg Henry Harrison, Diana's fiance', Robert Bunteng Eliza- beth Harrison, Henry's mother, Dorothy Eldridge, Nancy Hayward, a young actress, Mona Scholppg Mugzie Mullen, Gigi's athletic instructor, George Teravaineng Clara Sheldon, Hollywood agent Gladys Black, and Angelia, the maid, who was just plain nuts, Harriet McNeil l'50l ORCHESTRA Left to Right: Virginia Merry, Robert Merry, Melville Sinnott, Robert Bunten, Miss Ruth Manter, Ann Peterson, Harriet Scott, Richard LaFleur, Nathaniel Thayer Robert Greene, Dana Davis, and Robert Peterson. .

They even received recognition in the Boston Globe as being the best team on the South Shore.
