All his classes have laughed over his iokes at many times. But humor for the sake of humor is not enough, the laugh always il- lustrates a point, making it unforgettable. Another characteristic of Mr. Kennedy's is his far-sighted imagination. He imagined and created the model congress and the mock election, giving us the chance to participate in the workings of government and making history lessons come alive. For these gifts, among many others, we dedicate our year- book to Mr. Walter Kennedy.

A host of symbols are associated with ships. A ship, in fact, presents a different aspect to every person who looks at it. Method of transportation, work of art, financial venture, stage for adventure - a ship can be any or all of these. In many ways a ship is like a man. Both need self-imposed dis- cipline, and, above all, direction. Because men and ships are always moving, direction is of prime importance. Nothing remains the same, it must either improve or degenerate. Aimless wandering is not iust useless, it is destructive. Thus a goal is necessary. Courses charted, the 1961 seniors are about to be launched on Shakespeare's flood tide to fortune. Once the flood has carried them to the ocean they will separate, sailing each toward his own goal, carrying the godspeed of the long-suffering craftsmen who helped shape their destinies. iz: we 22,6

HANDY l Superintendent of Schools To the Class of l96l H., To be a member of a graduating class is an important accomplishment in any year. To be a member ot the last class to graduate trom the old Duxbury High School however, has a special significance that goes beyond the successful completion of course requirements. For one thing, it marks the close ofa thirty-tive year period during which this building served the many needs ot thousands of Duxbury young people. It indicates, also, that Duxbury, like other communities, musr change to meer the problems of population growth and new educational programs. In another sense: 'f Points out to us that what we learn is more endurinq than bricks and mortar, for the knowledge we gain through education continues with us long after buildings have outlived their usefulness ' Everett- L. Handy Superintendent of Schools
