As our 7 ' senior homeroom teacher she laughed at our iokes, shared our victories or defeats, and tried always to understand us, as hard as it may sometimes have been. As our class ad- visor she offered perfect suggestions, gave us needed encouragement, and warned us when we began to fall-all this in her usual gentle but effective manner. To you, Mrs. Churchill, Aff! ' we dedicate our 1953 Partridge. I ,wh Jr lf, HALL 0F FA E For field trips, Halloween parties, A.A. Sup- pers, and guidance talks we relied on Mr. Blakeman. His thoughtful advice and interest- ing projects helped us through the customary strangeness of our first years in high school. Always there with a trusting smile and a con- fident pat on the back, Blakie watched each one of us grow up. As we leave D.H.S. we leave also a faithful and true friend. To you, Mr. Blakeman, we dedicate our 1953 Part- ridge. ' 1 .', '. ! 'A I 1.1 . , 4. ,fg , , V' 1 , 1 , x ,rl i, 3, . ,f 7.1.

PRES S CLIFFINCS Celebrities D.H.S., March, 1953 - Along with the fun of four school years, mem- bers of the Class of 1953 have been honored in various interesting ways. In the freshman year Elaine Mac- omber won an award from the New England Aircraft School for the best essay on the class trip to Logan Airport. Ann Wentworth was the win- ner of a portable radio in the Sophomore-sponsored Vacabu-lad- der contest, an English project. Anne Kent had a poem published in the National High School Poetry Anthology.

The Freshmen year found the following officers: President Bud- dy Hyslop, Vice President Elaine Macomber, Secretary joan Walker and Treasurer Gail Woodsum. Peter Barker, Donald Barbosa, Elaine Macomber and Barbara Hulbert were elected Student Council rep- resentatives while Edythe Pyy and Barbara Hulbert were chosen stu- dent marshals.

LOST MEMBERS '53 MOURNS Duxbury High, Sept., 1952 - As Freshmen, the class of 1953 had one of the largest groups to enter the high school. At one time the class numbered near fifty. Gradually members of the class moved, at- tended other schools or dropped out to work. Soon the once remark- ably large group dwindled to just another class, but only as size goes. The Sophomore Year found Bud- dy Hyslop, Judy Griswold, Tom Bulu, Audrey Trongeau, Henry Merry, Walter' Johnson, Robert Bartlett and Skipper Ellis among the missing. Returning for our jun- ior Year we found that we had lost Gratia Wrye, Susan Lund, Paul Bates, Herbert johnson, Blanche Caron, and Tom Craig. As Seniors we missed Clayton Ricker, Dan Ellis, Donald Barbosa and Ronald Cheney. The class has never quite forgot- ten these students whose names re- main linked with memories of past years.

A Traveling Class D.H.S., Nov., 1949-Voices yelled Wait for me! and Save a seat! as the Freshmen climbed aboard the school bus, New Bedford bound. The Class of '53 was preparing to leave for a field trip! The New Bedford Whaling Museum was our first stop. We spent the morning there examining whale skeletons, going through the authentic scale- model of a whaling vessel, and se- lecting postcards. The afternoon found the sightseers'at the Wam- sutta Textile Mills observing the very interesting process of cloth manufacturing. At the end of the tour everyone boarded the bus with paper bags and pockets full of un- processed wool. Months later Mr. Blakeman took the class to Logan Airport. There a very interesting day was spent visit- ing the weather bureau, the control tower and the hangars. An airplane, opened for inspection, was soon oc- cupied by anticipating Freshman who strapped themselves into seats, just in case the plane happened to take off. The rest of the day was spent touring the propeller rooms, engine rooms, dope rooms and fi- nally the cafeteria of the New Eng- land Aircraft School. This, a most enjoyable field trip, was one of the highlights of our first year in high school. ie, ir ff--ll' 1 - V ,' M- ,v - . -. sf, .A 'N' ,, l ,,. ' A ' N -Q ' S 4, ,Qu ,, , .

As Freshmen the class gave jun- ior Buys a Car. Included in the cast were Ronald Cheney, Beverly Freeman, Edythe Pyy, Blanche Car- on, Loyd Ferrell, john Benevento, Thomas Craig, Martha Allen, Vir- ginia Washburn, and john Soule. Drums in the Night was pre- sented in the Sophomore Year with Gratia Wrye, john Soule, Elaine Macomber, Anne Kent, Martha Allen, Peter Barker, joan Walker, and Susan Lund taking parts. In the junior Year Hurricane Hill was the class play. In the cast were Steven Loring, john Soule, John Benevento, Martha Allen, Anne Kent, Virginia Washburn, and Ann Wentworth. The class never won the trophy, but what times they had learning their parts, rehearsing, and celebrat- ing when it was all over!

These parties have been going on periodically since the Sophomore Dance. Activities vary each eve- ning -- playing ping pong, play- ing cards, cooking, eating or ward- ing off party crashers who somehow seem to find their way silently up the snow-covered road. From the way things look the Sophomores are a party-going class. gil ga-Coat. E-as5e:x3un0 .all Q 'W 1? ul ' P 'X 1 e-' Winter Wonderland D.H.S., Jan. 20, 1951 - Early in December frequent class meetings, mysterious whispers and afternoon get-togethers forewarned the com- ing of the Sophomore Dance. Undecided as to the type of cos- tume to be worn at their dance, the Sophomores conducted a school poll to learn what the student body preferred. Afternoons saw boys as well as girls gathered at various houses, seated on the floor cutting snow- flakes out of onion paper. Over a thousand of these cut-outs were needed. Snowflakes were cut and strung by threes in study halls, home rooms and after school. Duxbury High hummed with in- dustry the day of the dance, the Sophomores' first. An effective as- sembly line of girls was created to put glitter on the otherwise ready snowflakes while the boys were chopping down evergreen trees from near-by woods. Finally the auditorium was transformed into a true winter wonderland. Hang- ing snowflakes fluttered with the gusts of a fan, evergreens and spruces densely covered the four walls and in the center of the floor stood a large Christmas tree cov- ered with snow. A blue spotlight made the gym look like winter out- of-doors. At the end of a hard day, Sopho- mores inspected their work, tired but deeply satisfied. SENIORS HAVE f- BEACH PARTY D.H.S., sept., 1952 - Duxbury Beach, a 'frequent Senior rendez- vous, was the site of the first patty U of the year. A full moon, a warm sea breeze and a roaring fire made the night a perfect one. The traditional hamburgers, hot dogs and marshmallows were cooked 's with much effort. Eating was ac- g companied by the delightful mu- X- sic of the Red Nathan, Slim Soule, Steve Loring Trio. Rides on the beach in johnny Allen's and Herb Win's '36 Fords and in Steve Denyer's Sand-Flea were topped off by Birdie's and Wfoodies first motorcycle ride -- X IR BB: ARE:-x9 four Seniors on Lloyd's red bike. OUR CLASSES A S EASTER D.H.S., April 6, 1952 - For days the Town Hall has been bustling with activity. Weeks before this, the juniors' homeroom resembled a kindergarten, the floors strewn with colored scraps of paper and the desks covered with cut-out bun- nies, flowers and birds. Class meet- ings, trips to Boston and hours of planning have all been in prepara- tion for the junior Prom. The doors of the Town Hall were opened early Saturday morning, the day of the dance. There was much yet to be done. Decorations had to be finished and put on the walls, ' s Q PARADE the floor had to be cleared and swept and orange sherbert punch had to be made. Finally there it was, finished! The walls were covered with spring scenes, the orchestra was surround- ed by a small picket fence, the ceiling was lowered with crepe pa- per and right in the center of the floor was a tall, fluffy white Easter Bunny waiting for the music to begin. A party at Mac's to finish gallons of leftover punch and doz- ens of cupcakes climaxed a success- ful junior Prom. MONDAY 'MoRNtNGSf SENIORS HOLD FIRST MEETING D.H.S., Sept., 1952 - An ambi- tious group. of new Seniors gathered in their home room today for the first class meeting of the year. First on the agenda was the election of officers. Those elected were Presi- dent Elaine Macomber, Vice Presi- dent Carl O'Neil, Secretary Joan Waker, Treasurer Donald Linde. The class unanimously chose for- est green and white for its colors and the white rose for its flower. E l0R CLASS PLAY That Brewster Boy, a three act comedy, was presented by the Senior Class on Thursday night, October 30. About a young boy, Joey Brewster, who thought his friend, Pee Wee, needed more experience with the female sex, the play was a tremendous success. Along with the weeks of hard work in preparation we had a good many laughs. We remember Johnny Poo Poo's hat, dice games, the radio backstage, five minute breaks, Steve's plaid shorts, food in the closet, the portable Crosley, Ernie's for pizza, ticket sell- ing, the gift for Miss Stover, and the party at Wee Pee Barker's to celebrate our performance. We had the cooperation of Mr. Bassett and his boys for the set, Mrs. Harrison and the Dramatic Club for the makeup, and individuals from the class for committee work. Is it any wonder that the press gave us enthusiastic notices? an fi f A 1 it X ...A THAT BRE TER BOY Joey Brewster ,.A...,. Pee Wee .... A......,.., ....,.

Kent MSI Since our Freshman year, all music at D.H.S. has been synonymous with Mrs. Wansker. She has capably and enthusiastically directed the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, the band and the Girls' Choir. The Duxbury High School Band was organized by Mr. Donald Leach in 1949. It grew rapidly and was soon playing its first march, Over the Top. In the past four years our band has played at many of the basketball games, for the P. T. A., for the Memorial Day Ceremonies, and for school assemb- lies. In 1951 the band marched and played in the Fourth of July parade. When Mrs. Wansker took Mr. Leach's place as band director she continued to teach the band to play new songs and to march while playing. The band uniform is green cordu- roy jackets, white pants, green ties, and white shirts. Boys' Glee Club tryouts in the gym on Thurs- day. When this notice appeared in 1949 girls giggled and wondered who the handful' of boys would be that would show up for Boys' Glee Club, an institution thus far unknown at D.H.S. The hand- ful was twenty-five, and since then Boys' Glee s Club has been one of the favorite student organi- zations. Until 1949, Glee Club meant to the girls one period a week when they could get together with the music instructor for a bit of singing. When at the first meeting Mrs. Wansker proposed several concerts and an annual minstrel show, Glee Club began to mean something alive, interesting and worthwhile. A third singing group is the Girls' Choir. This small group specializes in three part singing and special numbers. Since the first P. T. A. performance of the Qlee Clubs there have been Christmas programs, more P.T.A. meetings, and spring festivals of music. In 1952 the Glee Clubs and Choir presented a con- cert at Pembroke High School. Perhaps the most fun land workl has been the annual minstrel shows - Circus Days , Latin Holiday , and Shipboard Shennanigans . Best of luck in the future to Mrs. Wansker and to the music organizations which are such an im- portant part of our school. CU1. , , K ,S '. -fain. 'QW BOYS' GLEE CLUB. Seated-B. Evans, J.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club is one of the oldest and best organized clubs at D.H.S. Under the direction of Miss Gray, this club started the Tournament of Plays and the annual talent shows. In past years members of the Dramatic Club have taken many trips to Boston to see such productions as Romeo and Juliet, Mr. Roberts, and Where's Charley. The same excellent work in dramatics is now being carried on under the supervision of Mrs. Harrison. Whenever there is a play or a minstrel show, the club always lends a helping hand. The D.H.S. Dramatic Club is profitable not only for those interested in acting but also for those interestecl in the technical side of dramatics. A member has experience in the techniques of directing and acting as well as in make-up, prompting, lighting, props and publicity. To learn as much as possible about stage presence, voice, and stage craft is the Dramatic Club's goal. 5 .sauna Q . S X . .41-.W . ,Q 4 , ii. g ,Y .

' 5 4, ff-f'JZ ,z 2, TUDE T COU CIL Some form of student government has long been a part of the Duxbury schools. The old Pow- der Point School had one of the first limited student governing systems in the United States. ln 1945 the D.H.S. Student Council consisted of a small group carrying on with a limited type of student government. In 1946 the Student Council reviewed the prac- tices and consitutions of other high school councils by observations and correspondence. The purpose of this thorough study was to set up a workable student council. Results of the study proved suc- cessful. In T949 the Student Council was set up to act only on those matters that concerned the student body through the rules laid down iointly by the administration and the council. Matters of admin- istrative dicipline and policy are not the business of the Student Council. At the same time the Student Council proposed a marshal system to help the students maintain business like conduct in their school life. The in- troduction of an effective marshal system resulted in real improvement of school citizenship. L+ . fr'-W ' Shortly afterward a student court was formed by the Student Council for the purpose of hearing complaints of students and exercising iudgment and punishment in those matters that pertained to stu- dent government rules and regulations only. ln 1950 a Junior Council was established through the student council which functioned as its coun- terpart in the Junior High School. At the same time the Council experimented with a small school banking system. The Duxbury Student Council has always felt that a comfortable financial condition is akin to self-respect. lt has sponsored many activities to maintain this condition, including winter movies, magazine drives, suppers, dances, and auctions. The D.H.S. Student Council has established an enviable reputation for itself as shown by the fact that the Constitution and plan of organization have been requested by many schools. Our own plan is being used as far away as Alaska. Our present council is headed by President Edythe Pyy, Vice President Peter Barker, Secretary Ann Wentworth, and Treasurer Carl O'Neil. 4 I -4 ,. 1 I iz . 4 g, , W x ' . , ,, , 3 If ggfe ' 1 im m nw: f l A inn?

The team showed great promise for the com- ing years and in 1950 won a good share of its games under the able direction of Coach King. 1951 marked the inauguration the South Shore Soccer League which includes Pembroke, Kingston, Norwell, and Duxbury. Althouh '53 dominated the lineup and Don Linde was named all-scholastic in Massachusetts, we lost the championship to Pem- broke in a play-off. In 1952 we lost the champion- ship again - this time to Norwell by one-half point. The 1950 BASKETBALL season was one of the most successful ever completed in Duxbury. After defeating Kingston in the South Shore Tourney, the team played at the Tech Tourney in Boston Garden. In 1951, having lost all but one member of its championship team, the Green and White, under auspices of Coach Blakeman, ended up with a fair record. They entered the South Shore Tourney and the Small Schools Tourney. Although Don Barbosa was the only sophomore on the team, many others showed promise. In 1952 a fourteen game schedule was started in the South Shore League. Claytie Ricker and Lloyd Ferrell co-captained a team which, although still rebuilding, managed to beat Kingston, our traditional rival. In the South Shore Tourney, Dux- bury won its first game but lost its second. At the end of the season we had a wonderful basketball trip to Old Saybrook, Connecticut. Senior year we reported for basketball a few weeks early so that our new coach, Mr. Rothfuss, could get a look at us. Jack Ricker, Peter Barker, Jack Soule, Steve Denyer, and Steve Loring were the only veterans on the team, and Red Nathan, a newcomer, was added to the squad. With Jack Ricker and Peter Barker as co-captains, the Green and White started out like a house afire but the fire slowly went out and we ended with five wins and nine losses. Entering the South Shore Tourney for a second try, we won our first game but lost our second. ln our Freshman year Claytie Ricker and Don Barbosa played first team BASEBALL, and the squad won three out of seven games. 1951 saw Peter Barker, Don Linde, Lloyd Ferrell, and Jack Ricker playing varsity ball for the first time, but both the 1952 seasons were disappointing. Finally on May 13, 1952, the team won the only victory for D.H.S. in two seasons. The '53 girls are certainly not lacking in athletic prowess. Five of them - Martha Allen, Barb Hul- bert, Anne Kent, Elaine Macomber, and Virginia Peterson - won their first varsity letter in HOC- KEY during their freshman year. The team came out third in the league race that year, and in 1950 the hockey team won the first girls' banner to be hung in the D.H.S. gym, a co-championship with Marshfield. 1951 was a record season - no team scored more than two goals against us. The last game, a heart breaker, saw Scituate top the previously undefeated green and white by scoring one goal in the second period to rob us of the championship. The 1952 season also had an unhappy ending. Again we- dropped the final game of the season and the championship, this time to Marshfield. Championships are not everything, of course, and there were many lessons to be learned in sportsmanship. BASKETBALL has always seemed to appeal to all classes at D.H.S., although the girls' teams dur- ing our first two years were not very successful. The day of our first game in 1952, Coach Coleman came to D.H.S., bringing with her a new type of zone defense, the ability to coach well, and luck for our hoopsters. At the close of the season we had won eight games and lost four. The spirited '53 team was made up of experi- enced players with a reliable reserve to draw on for subs. Undefeated until we dropped our 11th game of the season to Marshfield on Friday the 13th, this was a year in which the spectators finally became interested in girls' basketball. Losing our last game of the season to Scituate by one point, we lost the chance for a championship play-off. During our four years at D.H.S. the most suc- cessful team, banner-wise, has been the SOFTBALL team. In 1950 the team won half of its games, a fair record, and in 1951 it topped Hanover at Marshfield to win the championship. ln 1952 the team hit, fielded, and ran its way to a second League Championship. Started in 1951, TENNIS, a young sport at D.H.S., is becoming a spring favorite. Contrasted to the original five interested in this sport, there were eleven candidates for tennis this spring. Coached ably by Miss Coleman, last year's team played matches with Scituate, Plymouth, and Hing- ham. We confidently expect that another season will see us champions in this sport, too. 5 if tt. ,ff 1 f en E- Q- N.-, - .MBU I 3 k -- , A M .3 2 'S 'L Q All XY!-H03 3 51 HUP, vp! eh v 93-5949? rxxaw, QV' 333019 Q'i.BU,y,-l f'?
