ff Sfiiigfi KW f Ml! ii 4 ' 0558 Follow the yellow brick road. Follow it past the great wide rainbow until you reach the coolness of the thick pine forest. You didn't miss the tin man, did you? Just beside him was the straw-stuffed scarecrow. On the path winds, past a brilliant field of color-splashed poppies until far in the distance looms the fabulous Emerald City. Follow the path, you'll reach it. Does this sound like a fantasy world from a story- book? A fantasy it was, set in the midst of Duxbury High School . The class of 1969 transformed the imaginative tale of yellow brick roads, rainbows, and Munchkins from sheer fiction into reality. Working with the famous Wizard of Oz as its theme, the ambitious juniors labored for months over carefully shaped poppies and a regal throne for the queen. Co-chairmen Wendy Starkweather and Deborah Dickow set the class scurrying around the gymnasium during the final hours before the long-awaited evening. As the night approached, elegantly dressed couples slowly entered and began their trek down the famed yellow brick path, past the chaperones and on to the band. Providing the music for the event were the Boston Mass, who played from their basket balloon before it departed. The highlight of the evening came when Can- dace Jenkins was crowned as queen, with Judith Canty and Deborah Davis as her court. The evening ended with a delicious dinner at Fiddler's Green, the topping to a memorable evening. , ' lsllf B Qgiwigfesvgxatj 23292389-as -at My

V l l omecomin '68 Old grads returned to the fifth annual Homecoming at DHS this year. Held on November 8th and 9th, it was an unprecedented dis- play of school spirit in which every- one participated. The football team did itspart by trouncing a strong West Bridge- water team l2 to 8. Of course most of the credit goes to the Stud- int Council, which organized the whole affair. On Friday night there was the pep rally at which the team was introduced, and speeches were given by Head Football Coach Mr. Charles Anderson and Principal Mr. John Hill in the light of flickering torches. Sandy Allen was crowned Homecoming Queen, and lit the bonfire in which the Westies were burned in effigy. Next morning a gigantic par- ade, in which all the classes, clubs, and organizations particip- ated, wound down Washington Street. The prize for the best float went to the iunior class's fighting dragon. Part of the credit for the football team's successful performance must surely belong to the cheerleaders. The band also performed nobly throughout the festivities and espec- ially during half-time. At the con- clusion of the game the Student Council served a luncheon for the team, cheerleaders, band, Council members and those faculty members involved in Homecoming. That evening the Student Coun- cil staged a Victory Dance which was a great financial success. Thus ended, in the gaily decorated cafeteria to the sounds of the Front Page Review, a Homecoming of which DHS can be iustifiably proud.
