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. Handy Superintendent of Schools
