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.

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.
