We have reached the goal toward which we have been striving for twelve years - gradua- tion. lt has been a long and hard struggle for many of us, a struggle which we are glad to see end. There were times when we became discouraged with .the books we studied, the papers we wrote, and the marks we received. With the exception of those of us continuing our schooling, these labors and worries are over. This is but one aspect of graduation and .. ...2....n.- -..- KAI- -L-,,I,l ,,-,I', .I . I accomplished an important educational aim, we have taught our brains to work and our minds to think. As adults we shall be expected to shoulder responsibilities and to solve problems we never had before. We will have'to make decisions about things far more serious than we have yet faced. Above all we must be able to dis- tinguish the right from the wrong, the true from the false, and the advantages from the disadvantages. We must weigh the facts. ln doing so, we will be fully aware that gradu- ation is indeed commencement, the commence- ment of the longer struggle of Life. THE PRODUCER Your twelve-year-long rehearsal is over. Your pro- ducers, directors, and technical advises have coached you through arduous months of learning and playing. You have missed cues, fluffed lines, encountered interruptions, but you have progressed steadily. Now, all you have been taught during re- hearsals is behind you. Each one of you can play the role he chooses, and each role, though maybe not a leading one, can be important. In this materialistic time, the props and settings seem to dominate the individual dignity of players on the stage - a lavish scene may often get more plaudits than a well-played part. Sometimes we tend to iudge not by accomplishment and character, but by possessions. The scriptis yours to write, and you are audience as well as players. If you can relegate the props to minor places, put emphasis on character and indivi- dual worth, give credits for knowledge, skill, and service to the world, keep your respect for self, and man, and God, who is your Final Critic, you will have mastered, not the art of acting, but the greater art of living. Play the part first! Trim the stage last. Mr. Hugh O. Macfarlane Principal of Duxbury High School Education has always been one of the chief con- cerns of the people of Duxbury. As long ago as 1642 the General Court of Massachusetts established laws concerning the education of her young people. This date, it should be noted, was only a few years after Duxbury had become incorporated as a town. Through all the years since then graduates of her schools have maintained this interest and have en- deavored to provide better educational opportuni- ties for the youth of the community. You are now privileged to be numbered among those who have graduated from the Duxbury schools. lt should be remembered, however, that with this privilege goes a responsibility to maintain an active interest in these schools in order that they may meet the needs of generations to come. I urge you to accept this responsibility and help continue our traditional interest in education. Dr. Everett L.

Our Dramatic Club not only sparks the interclass competition in our annual Tournament of Plays but takes the complete res- ponsibility for this production. Make up and properties are familiar words to the Duxbury dramatist in late Octo- ber and late March. In midwinter, after the senior play, you will find him studying the fine points of stage pres- ence or searching for three one-act plays suitable for freshmen, soph- omores, and iuniors.

Inside everyone felt very shaky and untalented. The sound of a violin was heard, Penelope had YHAOE . started, soon Mrs. Reardon entered, then Marcia, Warry, and Nana. Everyone was still nervous, but Essie cured that with the laugh she brought as she entered. Our play went on to more excitement and humor at the appearance of Todd and Sherwin. We knew we had done a good job when Lily received her round of applause. The climax was the breakfast scene and the curtain came down on the seniors' first performance of the year - a great success. Our class adviser gave us roses for our good work. A bouquet to Miss Stover for the help and patience that pulled us through and a round of cheers for Mrs. Churchill who always knew we could do it. 3 J, Penelope Reardon Laura Reardon Mrs. James Parker Essie C T ..,,,, .re.,,, A ..

Class of '55 1964 The curtain fell I0 years ago On the class of '54 Each of us has gone his way, We think of school no more. New students climb the same old stairs In the high school by the sea, While we went out to earn our pay And raise a family. qp 0 We traded in our comic books, RK But that was years ago 5 New Yorker is the magazine We go by now, you know. And one night by coincidence Something caught my eye, And so I read the tiny print, I can not tell you why. Friday night, November 6, For iust a one night run. Why look, our senior play is back. Every Family STILL Has One. And sol packed a suitcase up, And booked the fastest plane. A holiday in old New York To see our play again. A. ,Ali The very pretty stewardess, Who greeted me so gaily, Reminded me of by gone years, For she was Barbie Saley. The pilot who sauntered through the plane Was really quite a flirt. His shyness gone, who would have guessed XX That he could be Herb Wirt. X I had hit the daytime flight, Barbie later told me, For if I took the plane at night, David Cheney would have flown me. Of all the cabs that I should nab At La Guardia Field, 4 CK U2 Russ Doyle drove this speedy hack, 3 Qlvf l' Right up to me he wheeled. 1 Q Now George Searle-Spratt was one friend, l'd kept track of through the years. He had booked me reservations At his hotel The Mutineers . li While scanning through the evening news Helen April caught my eye. Now named baking queen of the year For her delicious apple pie. As I glanced at the lobby desk Evie was checking in. Now she is a missionary And travels, fighting sin. At ten past eight I paced the floor, As curtain time was eight. In dashed, with novel number four, Barbie Seaver-always late. Can't you get us a taxi, please? To the switch board girl, we said But Sissy Carver, that old tease, Told us, Go drop dead. Seeing Lucie's name in lights Was like the good old days. Tommy is her stage door Johnny, And haunts the matinees. We remembered well our classmate With disposition sunny. It was Janice Borghesani To whom we handed all our money She gave us a ticket in return Which the usher took away. Jean Hutchinson, her maiden name, Coincidence, would you say? Proceeds went to charity, All help was volunteer. Printed on the program: Benevento, financier. As we read the program carefully, Other names we recognized. Anne Marr and Jeannie Cope, Decorators, had advised. Lights now dim, the play begins, Befuddled Laura rushes in. Action packed through all three acts The Senior Play is staged again. Of course we all were preiudiced, We had a right to be. The lines were said much better Back in 1953. We started heading back stage Right after curtain call, When we recognized Pete Brown, Still handsome, smooth and tall. At this great producer's elbow Stood another one we knew. Critic, Mary Ivanoff, Was asking for an interview. We were waiting for an autograph Outside of Lucie's door When we noticeclmany other things Which surprised us even more. Star pitcher of the Yankees, We used to call him Rags, Had married a well-known chorus girl, Can you blame him if he brags? Another friend whom we knew well Supervised behind the set. David Chandler, you might guess, Engineered the lighting effect. Calamity has now arisen. Anne Lee Hardy, make-up expert, Read a telegram and fainted. She was voted Broadway's flirt. To the scene soon rushed a doctor, Tall and blonde, we knew her, too. Although this may have seemed to shock us Skinny's plans had all come true. Eva Dimond, now a nurse, Ran to Dr. Skinner's side. Skill and efficiency worked fast, They soon had Anne revived. Also there to see the show, Which he easily could afford, Was agriculture's Arthur Chandler, Director of the Milk Control Board. This prosperous executive Extended invitations. Q36 1 X I I li 3 QA. fig! X He took us to the Stork Club, Where he had reservations. We sat and talked way into morn And ate at Art's expense. Then they turned the spotlight on And entertainment did commence. The singer had a lovely voice And sang her second encore. We recognized the bright red hair Of singer Janet Kilgour. The manager approached us, Accompanied by his wife. This man's wealth was fabulous Carolyn wed him, you bet your life. Next week's entertainer, This couple later said, Was pianist Muffie Southwick - Whose fame was now wide spread. Sitting across the smokey room, Was a buyer, Lois Jenner, Putting through a business deal Over a lavish dinner. When this party finally broke up And all memories were recalled, The sun had long since risen And the moon had long since palled Once more at La Guardia Field, I rubbed my sleepless eyes, And noticed in the waiting room Someone else I recognized. Marion Pratt was traveling too, And on her way to Spain. Her boss was a Spanish diplomat. Marion can't complain. Now having seen the play revived I must no longer roam. The members of that senior class Are all within this poem. They play their roles successfully And treasure me no more With every year I slowly fade, The Spirit of '54. After twelve years our play is now completed and the curtain is ready to fall. Before the curtain falls we wish to call forward the man who has helped us through our last two years. As iuniors he was our homeroom teacher, as seniors he is our friend. Even though he has taken a tremendous amount of kidding about his bald spot, we all think he is wonderful! To you, Mr. Rothfuss, the class of 1954 dedicates it yearbook. . Avg' Please keep the houselights dimmed a moment longer. Would Miss Stover come on stage? No bouquet could be big enough to say, Thank you for all she has done for our senior year, as both our senior play coach and yearbook advisor. To you, Miss Stover, we also dedicate our '54 Partridge.
