VENTRESS MEMORIAL LIBRARY Marshfield, Massachusetts mmm ciy not to be taken from Library Volume 1 Number 1 THE TIDE PUBEISHED by CLASS of ' S3 3 , orewo i j We, the graduating class of 1953, have tried to make this yearbook representative, not only of our class, but also of our school. In the education which has prepared us, in the activities which have broadened us, in the athletics which have conditioned us, we can find the imprint of no particular class, but only of our school. In doing this our labor has been divided among many. The result is a yearbook whose worth has been multiplied by many. We expect no praises for our part in the publication of this yearbook. We realize that after its first flush of popu- larity, it may be forgotten, its pages unturned. But more than this we realize that some day it will be reopened, and, on that day, in the surge of memories will be found the redemption of all our efforts. Finally, we dare hope that the publication of The Tide may somehow plant in succeeding classes the desire to per- petuate it. This ho 4 De rests solely on the merits of this year- book. This is the first Tide; the rest is left to the future. 2 MISS JEAN E. MILLER It is with a deep sense of pride that we, the class of ' 53, come to dedicate our yearbook. For it is now that we would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to one who has given us the utmost of her time and energy. Yes, to Miss Miller alone do we owe many of our fond memories of recreation and sportsmanship. She not only patiently and understandingly guided us through our senior year at M. H. S., but also has helped us in molding our future careers. We thank her sincerely as our instructor, advisor and as our friend. 3 First row; Miss Skillen, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Ryder, Mr. Scott, Mr. Romeo, Mr. Pesce, Mrs. Arnold, Mrs. Ward, Miss Peterson Second row; Mr. Penn, Miss Mullen, Mr. Leach, Miss Miller, Mr. Reed, Mr. Martinez, Mr. Holden, Miss Ellard, Mr. Anderson, Miss Jaworski James P.

When Willie is around, so is a good time. One of the mainstays of our football team and a high- pressured ticket seller with plenty of class spirit. Thatsa Willie my boy! Basketball 1, 2 , 3 , 4; football 2 , 3, 4; baseball 3; Glee Club 1, 2; yearbook staff 4. CHARLES ANDERSON A quiet person except when otherwise. Chuck ' s actions speak louder than words, especially in sports, where he is known as the human Hercules of M. H. S. He tells us he belongs to the I Hate Women Club but we wonder if he ' s a qualified member — ever notice how the girls can bring out that grin and blush. Football 1, 2 , 3, 4; captain 4; basketball 1, 2 , 3, 4; co-captain 3; baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; class historian 2. PAUL BARRY Drag a slow barge or drive a rapid car. This is the boy with the ability to look innocent when caught red-handed, but his romantic side was shown in the lead of Gramercy Ghost. He lives for his dogs, and why not, they ' re man ' s best friend. Class ploy 4; yearbook staff 4. 8 ELLIOTT BINLEY It matters not how long you live, but how well. 1 He may look quiet but maybe we should look again. You ' ll probably find him with his other half, Diltz, who thinks up devilish ideas. Elliott ' s always good for a quick smile and a tackle to stop ' em at the Saturday games. Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Boys ' State representative 3; football 4 . PAULINE CALLAHAN To say well is good; to do well is better. Polly is one of those quiet, reserved girls who pos- sesses brains and knows how to use them — just ask the girls in chemistry. Yearbook business manager 4; class play 3, 4; monitor 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. FRANK CERVELLI Growth is the only sign of life. His genial way wins friends as easily as his basket- ball skill wins fans. Little Frank always has plenty of contributions to make, — remember the senior whist party? Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; co-captain 3, 4; baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; foot- ball 2, 3, 4; stage manager 2, 3; vice-president 2; yearbook staff 4. 9 JON CHANDLER I ' ll find a way or make it. Take intelligence plus a hard worker for the class and add a dash of dry humor, and you have Jon. His musical ability has brought him to many music festivals. Basketball 2, 3; class play 3; band 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Glee Club 1, 2. DANIEL CLARK He is a little chimney but heated hot in a minute. Danny is a speed demon at heart and takes it out on his car, his boat, his game of pool, and of course, his women. MARCIA DAMON They say most who say least. A touch of sophistication and a love for music pic- tures Marcia as one of the few serious-minded seniors.

Here is the leader of the Student Council, who, with his smooth personality plus his musical ability in singing and dancing, has won the title of Ladies ' Man.

Ronald may usually be quiet, but in chemistry class he ' s a prominent member of the wrecking crew. We hope that he doesn ' t end up wrecking the airplane he uses to dust the roofs of homes around the airport. JUDITH DUPUIS Born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world is mad. Never a dull moment when Dupe is present. Her quick wit, easy-going manner, and good sports- manship are welcome in any group. Sports come as second nature to Judy.

His nickname of Easy Ed describes him perfectly, especially when he ' s on the football field. He can usually be seen pumping gas at the station or step- ping it up in his hot rod . Ed has a special knack of studiously refraining from participating in M. H. S. educational facilities. Football 1, 2 , 3, 4; basketball 1, 2. JOANNE HARRINGTON A well bred silence always at command. Jo is the whiz of our class and she ' s always ready to help out her less fortunate friends. With a straight face and saintly look, you ' d be surprised at some of the remarks that come from her.

WILLIAM HARVEY Why should life all labor be. Bill is the boy who owns the voice in our Glee Club. Remember our Christmas performance, and you ' ll know why. He came from Vermont and we hear he ' s quite the skier! Ever feel a breeze on a Si.eet corner? Well, that ' s Bill, hot-rodding it to work. Football; 3 Glee Club 3, 4; band 3, 4. 12 DEBORAH HATCH Never an idle moment but thrifty and thoughtful of others. A combination of geniality, dark eyes, and a sweet smile is our description of Debby, because if you know her, you can ' t help liking her. She excels in roller skating and swimming, as well as basketball. She has a special way with children, too.

Jack ' s one of the more talkative members of our class and he ' s always good for a tall story. His unceasing questions in class can sometimes give the teachers a bit of trouble. Basketball 1, 2; class play 3; football 3, 4. ANN JONES whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Ann is one of those good things that come in small packages. Her understanding and generosity toward people made her a person worth knowing. Her ex- pert prompting saved the class play from many an embarrassing moment. When she ' s not in school, you ' ll know she ' s caught in her own lobster trap!

Cute, feminine, and small, but you ought to see her break loose on the basketball court. Good luck to the first girl in the senior class to take the big step. Basketball 1, 2 , 3; class play 4; operetta 1; yearbook staff 4; Glee Club 1. GEORGE LANTZ can resist everything except temptation. The boy who always has an answer is George with his quick quips. He plays all sports with equal ability, but will long be remembered for those beau- tiful catches as our end in ' 52. His way with girls has earned him the name of Mert the Flirt . Football 1, 2, 3, 4; basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1; stage manager 3. RICHARD MAGOUN The force of his own merit makes his way. Ever wonder who was behind that camera? Well, it was Dick, who was very helpful in getting candid shots for the yearbook Yearbook staff 4. 14 GWENDOLYN MARSH She profiis most who serves best. Gwennie always has a fresh supply of energy when it comes to helping out the class. Her cute little smile and twinkling eyes are a familiar sight in the corridors, and especially in the music room. Her studious side was shown when she was elected Girls ' State representative; her comical side, as Our Miss Brooks .

MARY ANN MARTINS Style is the dress of thought. A flashing smile and dreamy eyes, that ' s our Mary. She was proud owner of the Holy Sock, the famed good luck charm of the championship field hockey team. Field hockey 1, 4; monitor 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. DONALD McALEER To thine own self be true. Mac ' s comic antics are the sparks of life in any dead class. His Who Me? attitude has given him an honor seat in many class — right in front of teacher. He is one of the most enthusiastic base- ball players in the state. Football 2; baseball 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3. 15 RICHARD MICHELINl None but himself can be his parallel Dick has a combination of brains and a good sense of humor, which can be applied very successfully in everything he does. He can always make friends without any conscious effort. He showed his popu- larity with everyone when he became our Boys ' State and Good Government Day representatives.

ROBERT NORTON U is not good that man should be alone. Why hurry when slow and steady wins the race is Bobby ' s attitude. But that ' s not so, when it comes to cars. Bob stole the show in Gramercy Ghost when he played Nathaniel, and was a positive howl! Cheer up. Bob, you ' ll finish painting that cel- lar someday!

If anything is going on at school, Kenny is bound to be there with flying colors, whether it be in sports or in social activities. This year he presided over our class meetings and brought us successfully through many of our senior struggles. He was es- pecially helpful in taking the measurements for our caps and gowns!!

David is the newest member of our class but he has made friends fast. When it comes to who ' s who in college and pro sports, Dave really shines. Football 4; basketball manager 4; Glee Club 4; band manager 4. DOROTHEA RODRIGUES Good things come in small packages. She may be small but she always has a big smile (tacked up by two dimples) for everyone. A com- bination of sweetness and ability to be everyone ' s friend makes her a definite asset to the cafeteria. NANCY ROGERS History is merely gossip. Oh, no! and a gale of laughter — you guessed it; Nancy is here. She also knows how to use a needle and a cook book to their fullest advantage. On fall Saturday afternoons, you can find her with a green and white cap on, cheering away for good ol ' M. H. S.

Here ' s Lillian — the girl who can really bake a cake and dance, too. She ' s always willing to help the class on any committee. We hear she likes motorcycles, too. Glee Club 3, 4. RICHARD SEIGNIOUS A merry heart doeth good like medicine. He ' s a good mixer and is always willing to have some fun, usually combined with a bit of deviltry. Dickie is a picture of innocence; just ask him, he ' ll talk you into it. Basketball 2, 3; baseball 2; football 4 ; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; class play 4. JEAN SHUTT A smile that won ' t come off. We sometimes wonder what goes on behind those big puppy-dog eyes. Could it be a soldier boy? Jean ' s always the first on the beach as soon as spring rolls around — notice her sunburn! She en- joys Home Ec. and we are sure she ' ll use it in the future. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; monitor 4; class play 3; operetta 2; yearbook staff 4. 18 MARY SINNOTT To know her well is to like her better. Wit and intelligence with a bit of sophistication add up to Mary. Hockey, softball, basketball, riding, committees, yearbook, plays, music — we wonder when she has time for beauty sleep — or can you buy that at Hubbard ' s?

FRANCES SMALL If a woman has red hair, it is a glory to her. Happy-go-lucky in a way that only Franny can be. From her experience in the lunch-room, she ' s sure to make Johnny a good wife! Her sunny disposition belies that red hair. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; monitor 4; yearbook staff 4 . I 1 LAWRENCE SUTHERLAND have the courage of my own opinions. Under that crop of dark hair is Larry, our chief representative from the First National. He likes to talk and is always ready for a good hot debate. His main interest has always been aircraft of any kind. Basketball 1; assembly 2. 19 NANCY TAYLOR The world is made for fun and frolic. A burst of laughter with high-beamed dimples, and you know that Nancy ' s around. Always ready to have a good time, but she has her serious moments, too. These were shown in Gramercy Ghost and in all the singing she has done in school activities. Good luck in your musical career, Nance!

STEPHEN TAYLOR All his faults were such that one loves him still better for them. When he decides to do a thing, he usually does it well. Remember the class plays? Stinky is one of the most dependable boys in the class with plenty of up-and-at-it spirit.

We sometimes wonder if David isn ' t a rebel, he spends so much time in the South. When he ' s in Marshfield, he ' s one of the live wires of our class. David ' s always ready for a card trick or a banana split — he handles both equally well. Baseball 2, 3, 4. 20 BARBARA TURNER Nothing great ever was achieved without enthusiasm. Barb, our bundle of energy, is always good for a bright idea dnd is really willing to help out in class or school projects. Being head cheerleader and D.A.R. girl show that she ' s popular with one and all. Wanna have a party? is Barb ' s favorite expression at the famous senior lunch table!

Maybe it ' s because we have been the largest class in M. H. S. history, or maybe because the boys have dominated us poor girls; nevertheless, I am proud to bring to you on this day, June 8, 1953, the history of the class of 1953. We entered the seventh grade fifty strong as we plotted to overthrow the school. Our plans were foiled, however, when we were separated into two different rooms. After about five minutes we found ourselves nothing but fish in the ocean. We were taken under the guidance of Miss Peterson, our home room teacher, and became aware of the problems which confronted us. The major one was the election of class officers. We felt pretty important participating in our first class meeting at which we elected the following officers: President, Richard Michelini; Vice-President, Gwendolyn Marsh; Secretary, Ann Jones; Treasurer, Joanne Harrington; Historian, Mary Sinnott; Student Council Representative, Stephen Taylor. We became accustomed to the new routine moving from room to room, after many be- wildering and hazardous experiences, for we found that the life at high school was quite different from that af grade school. Our teachers were mt st helpful, and I ' m sure there were many times they were exasperated by our childish antics. We wanted to let the rest of the school know what our abilities were, so we combined our talents with grade eight to produce a Thanksgiving skit. We then decided to collect some money for Thanksgiving baskets for the town home. The classes were so generous that we were able to purchase another gift along with the lovely baskets. By the end of the year our ranks had swelled to 51 with the addition of Judith Dupuis and Phyllis Forbes. We decided that those officers previously elected were doing a capable job as we re-elected the same officers. During the year we welcomed David Totten, Jean Shutt, and Joseph Hardiman. John Bowles left very early in the year. The year passed very quickly and we then looked forward to becom- ing eighth graders. In September of 1948, we entered Room 7. Our class was still very large, so we were again divided into two rooms. Even though we were divided, we had an extreme feeling of super- iority, for we were at the top of the junior high, but we soon came down to earth again. Class officers for this year were: President, Richard Michelini; Vice-President, Gwendolyn Marsh; Secretary, Ann Jones; Treasurer, Joanne Harrington; Historian, Mary Sinnott; Student Council Rep resentative, Stephen Taylor. Mrs. Ryder helped us organize our paper. The M. H. S. Crier. Through her efforts we managed to publish several editions which everyone enthusiastically purchased. Defying all leprechauns, we held our eighth grade May Dance, Friday the 13th with garish Chinese decorations. This was our first big social event which we will never forget, for it was the beginning of many new romances. Three days later we boarded Mr. Keene ' s bus and took off to conquer Boston. Upon arrival we were taken on tour of the State House by a very humorous guard. After eating, filling ourselves to capacity, we purchased water pistols, balloons, sunglasses, and schmoos, which we later put to practical use. The trip was very much enjoyed by all, and we appreciated Mrs. Ryder ' s patience through that trying day. This year we went completely money-mad and through the assistance of Mrs. Ryder, we confiscated over $100. We will al- ways remember the thrill of having so much money. We launched our high school career as freshmen in the month by Gwendolyn Marsh , Kenneth Rand of September, 1949. When we took roll call, we had added four new members and subtracted three, leaving us a total of fifty- three green freshmen . Those who entered our class this year were: Charles Anderson, John Bowles, Irwin Stratton, and Jean Bonney. We were divided into two separate rooms, with about half our class remaining with Mr. Scott, our class advisor. The other half was sent down to the art room where we made life miserable for Mrs. Williams. At our first class meeting, we elected the following officers: President, Richard Michelini; Vice-President, Gwendolyn Marsh; Secretary, Ann Jones; Treasurer, Joanne Harrington; Historian, Mary Sinnott; and Student Council Representative, Ted Seager. Our class took part in the Thanksgiving banquet given by the teachers. Each class elected a host and hostess for which we chose Charles Anderson and Gwendolyn Marsh. This proved to be very enjoyable, especiafly since the teachers did all the work! Before we embarked on our Christmas vacation, we presented Christmas gifts to Mr. Scott and Mrs. Williams. Not wanting to overburden our class officers, we relieved some of their duties and elected as President, Robert Morse; Treasurer, John Bowles; and Historian, Charles Anderson. The other officers remained unchanged. On February 11, we held our first class function, a dance which we called the Valentine Festival, featuring the Starlighters orchestra. The dance and the attractive decorations proved to be quite a hit. We chose Jimmy Scott and Joey Anderson, age four. King and Queen of Hearts. To prove that we were a class that did things in a big way, we took over the last movie of a series, formerly run by the senior class, and made a tremendous success of it. Our last class project was to serve refreshments at the one- act ploy, which proved to be a financial success. Upon entering our second year of high school, three new faces greeted us on opening day: Maureen O ' Sullivan, Elliott Binley, and Donald McAleer. Our slate for the year consisted of President, Robert Morse; Vice-President, John Bowles; Secretary, Richard Michelini; Treas- urer, Kenneth Rand; Historian, John Lane; Student Council Rep- resentative, Ralph Davis. As one can see, the boys definitely held the upper hand that year. David Hutchinson left the class late in the fall and about mid- year Lillian Rogerson returned. Before leaving for our Christmas vacation our number had fallen to fifty after Barbara Burg, David Totten, Bob Morse, and Maureen O ' Sullivan had departed. At mid-year elections we placed the following in office: Presi- dent, John Bowles; Vice-President, Frank Cervelli; and Student Council Representative, Robert Davis; but we decided to keep a few in their present office. Our class was given the privilege of selling refreshments at all the class plays. Our lone class function was a record hop put on at the end of March. With Bob Clayton as our master of ceremonies, the dance proved to be very profitable. A few of our more talented classmates took part in a variety show. The purpose of this was to raise money for the class of ' 51 which was accomplished quite successfully. Near the end of the year, we combined our talents with the juniors, and put on a very successful play entitled. Don ' t Take My Penny. With our second year of high school drawing to a close, we looked forward to our junior year and the Junior Prom, not to mention the summer vacation which proceeded these. When we entered our junior year, we were unable to find our home room. Some of us began to feel we weren ' t wanted, but 22 we soon realized Mrs. Handy was trying to collect us in the former senior homeroom. President John Bowles ruled with on iron hand supported by Vice-President, Kenneth Rand; Secre- tary, Richard Michelini; Treasurer, Robert Norton; Student Council Representative, Robert Davis; Point System, Judy Dupuis and David Hutchinson. We must have been a very popular class for Bar- bara Turner, Bill Harvey, Paul Barry, Jean King, joined us; Barbara Burg and John Lone left us. This year we worked our fingers to. the bone to gather money for our class trip which was later vetoed by the powers-that-be. We sold programs at all the football games, and collected quite a sum. The big day finally arrived when the ring man from Mur- chison came. Oh, what a time we had! No one could make up his mind to one type of ring so consequently there were two class rings. We were told we would receive them before Chris t- mas vacation. We could hardly wait! Doc Jones was supposed to be our master of ceremonies at a dance on November, but due to a mistake he went to Mansfield. With all the great talent in the class it was very easy to replace Doc, so Ken took over and it was a success. Football was now under way with the juniors supplying the team with athletes, notably Charlie Anderson. Our athletes also headed the basketball and baseball teams. Frank was certainly wonderful, wasn ' t he? We took part in the annual Thanksgiving dinner with Barbara Turner and Charlie Anderson as hostess and host. Before our Christmas vacation we received the class rings which we had so patiently awaited. They proved to be all we had hoped for and made the long wait worth the while. Such talent we have! The class presented the comedy. Our Miss Brooks, with Gwen Marsh and Kenneth Rand playing the leads. It was not only a social success, but, oh, how the money came in! I don ' t think anybody will ever forget that supper on dress rehearsal night. Right, Miss Miller? Our next big event was the long-awaited Junior Prom. How we slaved on those decorations, especially the fountain. It was socially successful, but the receipts were small. Richard Michelini, Elliott Binley, and Gwendolyn Marsh were chosen as Marshfield ' s representatives for Boys ' State and Girls ' State. Their reports portrayed very clearly the value and enjoy- ment they experienced during that memorable week. The seniors wanted a very expensive orchestra for the senior reception, but because of our lack of funds we could not under- take it by ourselves. The seniors came to our rescue by suggest- ing that we give a Junior-Senior Whist Party. This assistance was greatly appreciated by our treasurer. The seniors gave us invi- tations to send out. We also had the annual privilege of taking part in Class Day by holding the batons for our honored seniors to march under. We realized we were almost seniors when Robert Davis was chosen class marshall for 1952 and Student Council President for the following year. Finally we reached the end of our junior year and we were now at the top. We were Seniors! Joyfully we entered our senior home room with Miss Miller as our senior class advisor in September. Oh, what a time she had with us! I guess we thought we were graduating right then and there, but we were to find out there was to be quite a lot for us to do before we could even think of marching down the aisle to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance. We now realize that the year of graduotion was really here which gave us a choked-up feeling inside, but the thought of looking ahead served as a quick remedy. Contrary to former years we elected three boys and three girls: President, Kenneth Rand; Vice-President, Barbara Turner; Secretary, Richard Michelini; Treasurer, Judy Dupuis; Student Coun- cil Representative, Robert Davis; and Historian, Gwendolyn Marsh. At the beginning of the year the class decided that since they couldn ' t go to New York, they would put their efforts into a yearbook. Miss Miller, as senior advisor, chose the yearbook staff with Judy Dupuis as editor-in-chief and Richard Michelini and Gwendolyn Marsh as assistant editors supported by a very enthusiastic and competent staff. In order to raise money for this project, it was decided that we would hold a Whist Party which proved to be very successful. Our desperate situation for money was shown by the fact that we even gave up a day off and stood out in the freezing cold like human sign posts to sell coffee, doughnuts, cakes, pies, and vegetables on election day. We did such a business that some of the girls even cooked all day, and we had to replenish the supply of coffee and doughnuts many times. As we look back today we will never forget the fun and the work we had sending our yearbook to press, and also the relief and great satisfaction when it was completed. We realize now that it would never have been possible without the laborious and enthusiastic work of Miss Miller. The Tide was our greatest accomplishment of the year. A star-studded cast under the direction of Miss Miller produced the adult comedy play Gromercy Ghost with Nancy Taylor and Paul Barry as the leads. It was lots of fun and by the laughter from the audience no one apparently guessed that we had Ann Jones behind the couch! This year was an extra-special year for the senior athletes, especially Frank, Charlie, George, and Ken. They were part of the basketball team that went undefeated throughout the sea- son. Not one, but three teams became champions. The boys really placed Marshfield on the map by winning the Brockton Tourna- ment and the all-famous Tech Tournament in the Boston Garden. We are all very proud of our boys and girls. The war in Korea became more prevalent in the minds of all our classmates with the loss of Elliott Binley, Edward Gonsalves, and Ronald Downs who joined the armed services in the middle of the year. For the fourth consecutive year our senior boys won the inter-class games. A few ambitious classmates decided to add some gaiety to the class by giving a dance called the Spring Fling (aftermath of the Winter Whirl). Alan Dary was our master of ceremonies. This was very successful because of the enthusiasm o f the class. The Grace Chapel Community Club gave us a Whist Party to help our financial status which we greatly appreciated. Barbara Turner, one of our outstanding girls received the D.A.R. award for dependability, co-operation, and good citizenship. Richard Michelini was also elected by the school to represent Marshfield on Good Government Day. They both feel that these functions are necessary to have a more complete understanding of the democratic way of life. Richard Michelini has been the outstanding member of our class ever since he joined us in the seventh grade; today I am proud to say that he is graduating with highest honors. Pauline Callahan, Joanne Harri igton, Ann Jones, and Mary Sinnott, gradu- ating with honors, portray the versatility of the girls of our class. Our class history now draws to a close, climaxed by our commencement activities. As we set out into the world, we hope that our future experiences will prove to be as beneficial as those of our past six years. We extend our grateful thanks to our teachers and classmates who have made these the happiest years of our lives. 23 ’33 WL’.

And the ocean wailed with a mournful sound. And the world seemed hollow and the sky was cold As the rain fell harder and the rivers rose. It had rained ten days and no end seemed near. But strangest of all was the lack of fear. For the whole countryside seemed unconcerned Though the ocean filled and the rivers churned. Not a voice of warning was anywhere heard; Said everyone, scoffing, Disaster? Absurd! Now in Marshfield High for years had been A haunting spirit who ' d never been seen. Now what was he doing? Why was he there? On this hangs a story; read on if you dare. It was close to the spring of ' 53 When the Senior Class, most peculiarly. Commissioned this spirit to haunt and to roam All the rooms, aisles, and corridors they had once known. And while in its roamings to guard first and last The interests and honor of the ' 53 class. Now the spirit thought as he gazed at the rain, It ' s the end of the world; it ' s all been in vain. I saw Noah run as the first deluge came. And take it from me all the signs are the same. Then thought he: The seniors, the ' 53 class. It ' s my job to save them; I ' ve got to act fast. I ' ve got it, the answer, we ' ll all just embark On the one thing that ' ll hold us; we ' ll build us an ark! So out went the word to all forty-one. That the end of the world was certain to come. That they must all gather at old M. H. S. And there build an ark to dissolve their distress. First came the engineers — electrical brand: Abbruzzese, Taylor, Micheiini, and Rand. Where is it. I ' ll wire it, said Willy at once. Hold on, cried Steve Taylor, This job ' ll take months. I don ' t even see it, said Dick to the bunch, Ho-hum, murmured Kenny, Let ' s knock off for lunch. Yet in a few days they began to improve. And things on the ark really started to move. It was then that she came with all her crew. After much wishing it finally came true. Our class nurse better known as Gwen, Counting the dog, she has children, ten! The whole ark was shaken; some even grabbed rocks When in walked Dave Rich, who now managed the Sox. Here, said the spirit, you ' ll be held in esteem. For who else can manage the shuffleboard team? Dave Totten pulls up in his Caddy slick. He found a good way to make money quick. The card tricks he learned during his spare time Are convenient for making a very fast dime. Now think of the joy when there did arrive Four to keep reading and writing alive; Callahan, Damon, Harrington, Hatch, Teachers incomparable, all without match. Pauline is rugged, a grammar school girl; Marcia says teaching ' s a glamorous whirl; Debbie ' s been dodging her kids ' dirty looks; Joanne is restless; she wants to write books. Who comes from the halls of old M. H. S.? Mr. Reed and Miss Miller would be my guess. But no, it can ' t be, they left long ago. For when we all went, they could stand it no mo ' It ' s the elite Miss Sinnott and Prof. McAleer, English and chem are still tough, never fear. On the next day a loud scream in the sky Awakened the spirit with a tremulous cry. Who is it? he bellowed, Are you of the class? No answer was given; just two specks shot past. In a minute or so, though, two jets had come down. And up to the ark staggered Hubbard and Downs. Each was a jet man of caliber rare. But who in the Air Force had made them a pair? Look! Who ' s in the back seat of Jack Hubbard ' s plane. Clutching a camera and still taking aim. To capture on film the soon-to-come doom? It ' s big-time photographer, Richard Magoun. Here ' s Dotty and she ' s no longer so quiet. Why just the other day she caused quite a riot. She got hold of a book by Barb, Nancy, and Fran, A thr iller for brides called. Now Get Your Man. Among the celebrities present we find Authors of the intellectual kind. We read in the paper — front page, no less. That Barb and Dick ' s book is a big success. For struggling students it ' s proven a gem. Entitled Are Formulas Really Needed in Chem? Then with a racket that deadened the brain. Came two old jalopies dragging down Main. Oh, no, screamed the spirit, not them on the ark! But natch, said Bill Harvey, Let ' s race! said Dan Clark. And so all discovered it really was they. Two big-time stock racers, receiving top pay. There was no surprise; it seemed rather true That things done in school are done in life, too. In from Detroit came the head of G.M., Jon Chandler, who rose from the ranks of grease men. But why, wondered all, if it ' s autos he likes. Does he never ride anything other than bikes? We ' re expecting our space cadet here soon. Of course, you realize the distance from the moon. When Larry ' s not flying from the church house steeple. He ' s writing a book titled. Unions Like People. With the rumble of drums and the tramp of feet March Eddie and Elliott down the street. Right go their left feet and left go their right. Their drill sarge, they say, had aged overnight. Straight to the big ark they plod through the rains; In the French Foreign Legion they always rode trains. Where ' s Mary Martins? someone loudly shouted. Oh, she ' ll be here, that no one doubted. There is no cause for panic and alarm She wears her Holy Sock, a good luck charm. This has brought her success and fame Especially for hockey teams, is her claim. There came to the ark, let me hasten to name. An animal doc who put Noah to shame. What ' s an ark without animals? said Rusty to me. If Noah took two of each, then I ' ll take three. Right on the spot, to cover this terror Is Lil Rogerson, who reports for the Mirror; Following her, we find Carol and Jean, (Now as before, close together they ' re seen,) Carol and Co. have designed new creations, Jean says the gownless straps are the sensations. In a matter of days, the marvelous class Constructed an ark which no one could surpass; Yet something was missing, what could it be? This question was answered by Judy Dupuis. This famed decorator with a voice slightly brass. Exclaimed rather bluntly, This joints got no class. It needs lots more color, that ' s what I think. The answer is simple; try orange and pink! The outside painting was done by Ann, (She mixed up the colors as no one else can,) To secretarial work she couldn ' t bound. At last a different job she Kad found! Now often at night when their work had been done. And the seniors relaxed seeking something for fun. Came the call for music, and best for that job Were Taylor and Davis, Nancy and Bob. Nancy, the singer, had sung at the Met, Bob is a disk jockey, popular yet. Together they entertain, my, aren ' t they great; One second — Bob can ' t find the hole in that plate. A handy man on the ark was badly needed. Who would fill this. Lord how we pleaded; The answer to our prayers was Bob, Judy tells us he ' s handy at any job. Then one day it happened, a huge two ton beam Broke loose from its binding, began to careen Towards all those below it, who huddled like ants. It almost had reached them when up stepped George Lantz. Behind him came Charlie, together they caught The beam in the manner which they had been taught. How could they do it? One line tells enough: Physical ed men are always that tough! Now all were aboard this wonderful ark. Bright with gay laughter; outside it was dark. But, wait, said the spirit, there is one more. Who is that I hear knocking at the door? Large Frank Cervelli, last but not least; You notice he ' s right on time for our feast. He played with the Celtics during this season. They captured the crown; Big Frank was the reasoni At last it was finished, the whole ark was done; Hurrah, cried the spirit, the battle is won! Now let the rains fall, let the seas rise. There is nothing can harm us; the class shall survive. Then they waited and waited each day peeping out. Expecting to find only water about. But on the fifth day to their horror instead, They found that the rain had completely stopped dead. They turned in a group to their guardian ghost. Who quivered and sputtered and strangled almost. So this is disaster, a heavenly flood. Just several small puddles and truckloads of mud. Then each of the seniors withdrew from the scene To gather and talk of the fools they had been. They finished in minutes and then they returned To confront the old spirit with visages stern. We ' ve made some decisions, spoke one choked with gall, You lose your commission to guard us at all. Instead we command you to always watch o ' er All senior advisors; they need you much more. The ark we will leave so all students may see How great this class was when they wanted to be. Lastly we must say we ' re really not mad. You brought us together, for that we are glad. And truthfully speaking, I think you ' ll agree. There ' s nothing like spirits in a class prophecy. First row: Barbara Lantz, Pauline Callahan, Steve Taylar, Nancy Taylor, Paul Barry, Robert Norton, Gwendolyn Marsh. Second row; Joanne Harrington, Barbara Turner, Richard Seignious, Miss Miller, Elliott Binley, Judy Dupuis, Mary Sinnott. enior It all started early in November — that was when the seniors decided to put on Gramercy Ghost as their class play. Ghosts haunted the halls of M. H. S. until December 5, the day that the ghosts and senior stars made their long awaited debut in the well-filled audi- torium. Although we wondered, especially after a long rehearsal, if it were worth it (just ask Miss Miller), we certainly collected many fond mem- ories of the good times we had. Remember those night rehearsals — Steve ' s love-making technique — Nancy and Parker — the last-minute ticket selling — deciding Judy needed a strait jacket — proving our ath- letic ability on the mats — singing our theme song, Rock of Ages — Ann ' s behind-the-couch prompting — the last supper before dress re- hearsal and Mrs. Dupuis ' delicious spaghetti sauce which, by-the-way, still isn ' t paid for, — Miss Miller ' s party without shoes after it had actually gone off successfully? All of these have helped to make December 5, 1952, one of the important dates in our senior year. 28 Margaret Collins Mary Sinnott Nancy Willard Nancy Taylor Parker Burnett Paul Barry Augusta Ames Barbara Turner Charley Stewart Stephen Taylor Nathaniel Coombes Robert Norton Officer Morrison Richard Seignious Irv Elliott Binley Rocky Barbara Lantz Ambulance driver Judith Dupuis Assistant driver Gwendolyn Marsh Girl ghost Pauline Callahan Director Miss Jean Miller Student director Joanne Harrington Prompters Deborah Hatch, Ann Jones, Jean Shutt An apartment in Gramercy Park on a springafternoon. pLb Gramercy Ghost is the story of Nancy Willard, who inherits a house, and Nathaniel Coombes, the ghost of a Revolutionary soldier who has been doomed to the house for failing to deliver a mes- sage from George Washington. The only way he can escape this fate is by delivering the neglected message to a kin of the ancient messenger. Since Nancy is the only human who can see the ghost, all her friends think she is off her trolley. As the play continues, Nancy seems to get into more peculiar situations while Parker, her fiance, and Charley, a newspaper reporter friend, argue over what should be done. You can imagine the climax when Parker, a typical stuffed shirt, proves to be the long sought descendant, receives the message, and starts seeing ghosts himself. 29 NICK- FAVORITE NAME NAME EXPRESSION William R.

Wi(( We, the members of the class of 1953 of Marshfield High School, town of Marshfield, Plymouth County, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind (or a reasonable facsimile) do hereby designate this doc- ument to be our last Wil l and Testament. We desire to benefit those who follow us by leaving to them as much of ourselves as is possible; therefore, we do solemnly make the following bequests: To the Seventh grade we leave all the teachers, or at least what ' s left of them after our six years of mistreatment. To the Eighth grade we leave all cuds of dried chewing gum found under tables, desks, and chairs. To the Freshmen we leave the profound hope that they may someday become seniors. To the Sophomores, our future Juniors, we leave a book How To Decorate For Proms by the Class of ' 53. Good luck on your Junior Prom. To the Juniors we leave Problems; be sure to learn how to read graphs between now and September. To the teachers we leave the memories of all our smiling faces every Monday morning at 8:15. To the school we leave all our brilliant ideas to be found in the bottom of Miss Miller ' s coat closet along with the strait jacket which was never returned due to a certain Senior ' s forgetfulness. Charlie Anderson leaves his sports ' ability to Bobby Jones; keep plugging. Bob, you ' ll make hero of the year yet! Danny Clark leaves his hot Chevy to Red Williams; then just think of all the girls you ' ll have, Red! Don McAleer leaves his ability to talk baseball anytime, anywhere to any worthy Junior who finds Chemistry a little difficult to pass. Ronald Downs leaves his extreme quietness to Fred Alden. Try using this gift to good ad- vantage and save the office bench from so much wear and tear. Richard Magoun leaves his ability with a camera to John Caswell. This will help a lot in pro- ducing a good yearbook. Debbie Hatch leaves her perpetual friendliness to the members of the entire school to help pro- mote a general warmth and friendship. Eddie Gonsalves leaves his ability to come to school late or not at all to Ray Freden. It ' s all right, Ray, you ' ll be a Senior and what better excuse do you need. Rusty Barry leaves his speeding tickets to Janet Ela and Frannie Hannaford. There are enough for the both of you, so don ' t fight, girls. George Lantz leaves his roving eye to Peter Sinnott to help inspire more and better romances for the coming years. Elliott Binley leaves his motor scooter to any promising young mechanic. Pauline Callahan leaves her financial accounts for the yearbook to Mr. Romeo. This might come in handy when your wallet ' s a little light; if you don ' t believe me, ask Pauline. Ann Jones leaves her monitoring position on the tunnel to any future monitor who has quick reflexes. Ann tells me her secret for survival is size; how about trying it, Elsie? Mary Sinnott leaves to all prospective students of Miss Jean E. Miller a warning: BEWARE!!! Marcia Damon leaves her saxaphone position in the band to Ross Ketchum. Included in this is a pair of ear-plugs, free of charge, for Mr. Leach. Gwennie Marsh leaves her ability to make a mountain out of a molehill to Little Couz. I guess she can ' t stand your acting so calm. Butch. Steve Taylor leaves his ' 36 Ford short rod to any other back yard mechanic, with the hope that he has the patience that Steve does. Kenny Rand leaves his quarterback position to anyone rugged enough to maintain it. Good luck. Bob Habel! Frannie Small leaves her red hair to anyone who desires a flaming personality. Dick Seignious leaves his wit and good humor along with his unusual ability to appear inno- cent when caught red-handed to Tony Gonscrives. Carol Wicher leaves her sophistication to Sandra Clark. Keep trying, Sandra, you ' ll make a lady of yourself yet. Dottie Rodrigues leaves her shyness to Mary Ketchum; try just thinking things for a while, Mary. It ' s best to leave some things unsaid. Lillian Rogerson leaves her absences to Arlene Murphy. Live a little, Arlene, you don ' t have to come to school every day!!! Nancy Jane Rogers leaves her love of history to Mrs. Williams to distribute evenly among her next year ' s U. S. history class. Jean Shutt leaves all her unfinished homework to Jayne Nangle. We are sure that you will get it done in your spare time, Jayne! Nancy Taylor leaves her contagious laughter lo echo through the halls of M.H.S. Dave Rich leaves his position of scorer to any one of the four assistant-assistants. Lawrence Sutherland leaves his curly hair to Mr. Scott, with no comment.

If you use this gift to full advantage, Kerry, you can probably beat Frank ' s basketball records. Jon Chandler ' s shop ability goes to John Quinn; with this you might even be a credit to Mr. Pesce yet, John. John Hubbard leaves his jokes,— THANK GOODNESS. Joanne Harrington leaves her innocence to Betsy Anderson, the most deserving person in the school. Dick Michelini, after much thought, leaves his extraordinary vocabulary to Fred Abbruzzese. You ' ll pass English yet, Fred. Bob Norton leaves the Junior Class— with much sadness. David Totten leaves with us although he spent little time with us. To the field hockey team Mary Ann Martins leaves her holy sock and much good luck for next year ' s season. Barbara Lantz leaves with stars in her eyes and a diamond on her finger. How did you work it, Barbara! Willie Abbruzzese leaves his ability to insult Miss Miller and get away with it to Joe Roderick. Use it to full advantage, Joel! Bill Harvey leaves his high marks to the faculty to distribute among the needy of next year ' s classes. Don ' t mind the slim pickins. Judy Dupuis leaves her sly remarks to Peter Theran so that the faculty will feel right at home next year. Barbara Turner leaves with the senior boys. Watch out, boys, she isn ' t as innocent as she ap- pears! The foregoing instrument was in our presence sig ned and sealed by the said Class of ' 53, at the end there- of, and by them published and declared as and for their last Will and Testament, and at their request and in their presence and in the presence of one another, we hereunto subscribe our names as attesting witnesses at Marshfield, Massachusetts, on March 27, 1953.

Grace Jones became historian To mark our progress well; Janet Ela in Student Council worked The students ' ideas to sell. In football Ronnie, Smoke, and Joe All helped to set the pace.

The young man, Dexter Franklin, is head-over-heels in puppy-love with Corliss Archer, a situation upon which she does not hesitate to capitalize. As if this were not enough, Mrs. Archer ' s cousin Agnes, a snoopy, cranky, old biddy with a strong distrust of men in general, particularly Dexter and Mr. Archer, descends upon the Archer household. When she reads a diary made up by Corliss and Mildred from a spicy story in the newspapers, Dexter ' s life promptly becomes the proverbial slough of despond . In fact, Dexter is in hot water all through the play. Who could forget that touch- ing death bed scene? Shades of the Barrymores! It all ended well, though, and the audience went home to recover in time for next year ' s presenta- tion. 37 1st row — Sandra Clark, Jane Foote, Mary Ketchum, Nancy Ela, Peter Barry, Miss Ellord, Robert Henderson, Paul Lennon, Barbara Blass, Nancy Dobson. 2nd row — William Hartigan, Sally Ann McClellan, Joan Curran, Maureen Whelan, Janet Austin, Dianne Taggart, Sally Moses, Catherine Joseph, Nancy Blackman, Edward Lopes. 3rd row — Michael Hansen, Paul Meede, Patricia Barbeau, David McMaster, John Sullivan, Calvin Bumpus, John Allen, Alison Livermore, David Jackson. The sophomore class is made up of 29 mem- bers, more than half of whom are active in sports. Student Council, yearbook staff, and various other class and school activities. Our class president is Pete Barry, who shares with our home room teacher. Miss Ellard, the distinction of having the patience of Job. Bob Henderson is our V.P.; Nancy Ela, sec- retary; Paul Lennon, treasurer, and Mary Ketch- um, Student Council representative. We hear that all the other classes have business-like class meetings; our class seems to be allergic to them. However, the fact that we put on a very successful dance in February seems to indicate that we do get things done. Our star athlete is John Sullivan, who rep- resents us in football and basketball. The airls 55 of our class are also prominent members of the field hockey, basketball, and cheerleading squads. This year, too, we had our first encounter with biology, not to mention French and geom- etry, all of which will continue to be as strange to us for the rest of our lives as the first day of school this year. A favorite pastime of our class seems to be piling up credits for the point system. In the case of our dance, the chairmen, Mary Ketch- um, Maureen Whelan and Janet Austin, well deserve any points given for this activity. The sophomores who achieved the near im- possible, the first honor roll, this year were Sally McClellan and Allison Livermore. 1st row — Robert Callahan, Patricia French, Sue Gonsalves, James Murphy, Prisci lla Price, Chandler Cleveland, Mr. Scott, Robert Downs, Anne Hubbard, Stephen Atwater, Malin Foote, Eleanor Sullivan, Edward Wildes. 2nd row — Robert Jones, Anna Hubbard, Joan Hayes, Dale White, John Quinn, Eileen Ford, Pamela Sherman, Carol Jean Hallowell, Ann Hansen, Virginia Gratto, Lee Studley, Robert Lopes, Patricia Coughlin, David Barbeau, Edgar Simmons. 3rd row — Tony Pina, Marshall Delano, Donald Joyce, Betty Moran, Carol Seaburg, Carol Jackson, Shirley Cooper, Peggy Creed, Laureen Sullivan, Ellsworth Williams, William Whittaker, Tony Gonsalves, Grant Ris- ing. 4th row — Manuel Lopes, Vaughn Hall, Richard Kent, Chris Little, Cliff Simpson, Philip Lantz, Ralph Drake, Daniel Anderson, Paul Harter. Our freshman year was a great success un- der the able direction of Bob Downs, President; Steve Atwater, Vice President; Anne Hubbard, Secretary; Chan Cleveland, Treasurer; Jim Mur- phy, Student Council, and Priscilla Price, His- torian. Our sense of humor and ability to laugh at just the right, or should we say wrong, time kept the school in a constant turmoil. Just ask Grant, Steve, Sue, Dave, and Dale about our algebra class! We ' re an extremely athletic bunch v ith a large representation on the hockey, football, softball, baseball, and basketball squads. Anne Hubbard ' s swishers and Dick Kent ' s extra points added to our prestige. Our class record hop on November 8 was both fun and successful. Everyone was told to ’56 bring records and surprisingly enough we got a lot of good numbers. Our coke concession was our most profit- able endeavor in spite -of the free handouts to the teams and cheerleaders. One ofour most memorable events came with the presentation of a blanket to Mr. Hol- den for his new baby. His face turned very red, and he must have been surprised, for he nearly dropped his lunch tray. Although we had a class meeting nearly ev- ery week and accomplished a great deal, they would hardly be considered as examples of parlimentary procedure. We may not be per- fect, but we do have fun. That ' s us— the class of ' 56 . 39 1st row — Stanley Williams, Jo Ann Lauzon, Barbara Ela, Kevin Murphy, Mrs. Ryder, Douglas Cohee, Judith Rogers, Made- line Foote, Donald Doroni. 2nd row — Mary Ann Sullivan, Wayne Tyler, Rodney Caron, Sandra Yazevicz, Susan Drake, Carol Wells, Edwin Randall, David Nicholson, Thomas Flynn, Nancy Joe Williams. 3rd row — Ronald Peterson, Janice Curren, Michael Bissell, Sylvia Drake, Earle Roswell, Jr., John Ulanowski, David Ryder, Nancy Coggeshall, Charles Mansfield, Sheila Stewart, Frederick Heap. Grade 8 began the school year by electing the following officers: President— Doug Cohee; Vice President — Kevin Murphy; Secretary — Linda Clapp; Treasurer — Judy Rogers; Historian — Janet Shaw, and Student Council Repre- sentative— Barbara Ela. Our money-making enterprises this year in- cluded a roller skating party; the sale of candy at the football games, $15 of which we later contributed to the Jimmy Fund; a Hobby Show, and a class paper entitled Daniel ' s Diary. In the spring we made the usual spirited trip to the State House in Boston. Our last event of the year was the annual May Dance on May 15th which turned out to be unusually successful. 1st row — Sheila Coughlin, Barbara Martin, Barbara Seignious, Janet Shaw, Mr. Penn, Linda Clapp, Linda Fortunow, Juan- ita Kelley, Margaret Allen. 2nd row — Robert De Mulder, Gayle Campbell, Louise Allen, Nancy Hobbs, John Murphy, Francis Hines, Donald Blunt, Howard Mclntire, Pamela Hallowell, Patricia Fernandes, Ruth Seaberg, Joseph Doyle. 3rd row — Kenneth Halpin, Stephen Johnson, Wayne Ferris, Stephen Borrelli, Richard Kelley, Robert Bonney, Stuart Carlton, David Banner, John Creed, George Brandt.

At our first class meeting the following officers were elected: President, Ross Ketchum; Vice President, Jimmy Tingley; Secretary, Linda Morrow; Treasurer, Debby An- derson; Historian, Jackie Jones; Student Council Repre- sentative, Linda Parker. Many of our members showed interest in athletics and proved that the school will be in good hands when the responsibility rests on us. 1st row — Judy Hynes, Patricia Curran, Patricia Johnson, Kerry Theran, Linda Morrow, Ross Ketchum, Linda Parker, Mr. Martinez, Ralph Whitman, Kenneth Shepherd, Mary Nightingale, Ann Little, Diana Stewart. 2nd row — Louis Lopes, Frances Borrelli, Helen Moran, Jean VanAmringe, Susan Drake, Jane Cohee, Joseph Cunning, Sylvester Gookin, Ellen Lake, Jean Alden, Joan Nightingale, Mary Keene, William Bachman. 3rd row: Richard Reed, George Meede, Willard Moses, Charles Quinlan, John Rhodes, Nicholas Corvino, Richard Williams, Peter LeMay, John Simson, David Taggart, David Archer.

Student ( ouncii The Student Council at Marshfield High School is an organization which connects the student body and the administration. The members are chosen annually; the officers for this year are Robert Davis, president; Gwen Marsh, vice-president; Judy Dupuis, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Harold Scott serves as the faculty advisor. The membership of the Student Council consists of the six class representatives chosen in the spring for the following year plus a representative for girls ' sports, Judy Dupuis; boys ' sports, Kenneth Rand; monitors, Carol Wicher; and the school treasurer, Gwen Marsh all chosen in the fall. The class representatives are Bob Davis, senior; Janet Ela, junior; Mary Ketchu m, sophomore,- Jimmy Murphy, freshman; Barbara Ela, eighth grade; and Linda Parker, seventh grade. The work of the Student Council consists of plan- ning all the assemblies and pep rallies; deciding. along with the coaches and principal, the eligibility for sports awards; plus bringing to a vote suggestions students may have as to ways of bettering the school. The major project this year is revising the handbook; Janet Ela was chosen editor-in-chief of this project. The final vote for the new school ring was also taken by the Student Council this year. The Student Council nominated Gwendolyn Marsh and Richard Michelini as candidates for Good Gov- ernment Day. By vote of the entire student body Dick was chosen as Marshfield ' s representative. Marshfield attends the annual Student Council Con- vention; this year ' s representatives were Bob Davis, Janet Ela, Mary Ketchum and Jimmy Murphy. The Student Council with the aid of the faculty and the enthusiasm of the student body tries to per- form the necessary duties to maintain high standards for the school in body, mind, and spirit. 44 1st: Pamela Sherman, Janet Ela, Alfred Bullock, Mary Ketchum, Anne Hubbard, Mary Sinnott, Janice Cur- ren, Allison Livermore, Donald Doroni, Sue Gonsalves. 2nd: Mrs. Ryder, Stanley Williams, Charles Mans- field, Michael Bissel, Mary Ann Sullivan, Betty Moran, Tony Hatch, Eileen Ford, Malin Foote, Madeline Foote, Judith Curren, Gwennie Marsh, Mr. Leach. 3rd: Barbara Ela, Sylvester Gooken, Ross Ketchum, Nan cy Ela, Sylvia Drake, Robert Davis, Stephen Taylor, George Dow, Earl Roswell, Joe Cunning, Edgar Simmons, Linda Morrow, Marcia Damon. 4th: Jon Chandler, Robert Norton, David Ryder, Shirley Cooper, Carol Jack- son, Patty Barbeau, Nancy Rogers, William Harvey, David Rich, Dale White, Kenneth Shepherd. Under the direction of our leader, Don Leach, our band has reached a position of great respect. It has competed very successfully against bands twice its size and has received superior ratings. In addition to the annual band concert and Memorial Day Parade this year, we had the honor of playing at the presentation of a plaque by Dart- mouth College in memory of the hundredth anni- versary of the death of Daniel Webster. Mr. Leach has made a collection of moving pic- tures of the band which point out many of our faults. The pet scene shows one of our members taking a running jump over a puddle as we played at a Boston University football game. This year we had the honor of being repre- sented in a hundred piece band made up of mem- bers of high school bands from all over South- eastern Massachusetts. Judy Curren, Janice Curren, Mary Sinnott, Bob Norton, and Jon Chandler re- hearsed several times with the band and then par- ticipated in its concert on February 28 at Randolph. Jon also represented us at the New England Band Festival. 45 1st row; Sandra Clark, Beatrice Gonsalves, Elsie Keene, Barbara Blass, Nancy Ela, Betsy Anderson, Judith Curren, Marcia Damon, Joanne Harrington, Ann Jones, Kathrine Schatz. 2nd row: Frances Small, Beverly Fletcher, Jean Shutt, Kathleen Cobb, Barbara Turner, Sally Paul, Nancy Jane Rogers, Lillian Rogerson, Nancy Taylor, Mary Ketchum, Jane Whittaker, Gwendolyn Marsh. 3rd row; Jean King, Jayne Nangle, Deb- orah Hatch, William Harvey, Albert Bonney, Robert Davis, Allan Sherman, Anthony Hatch, Janet Ela, Mary Sinnott, Mary Ann Martins, Judith Dupuis. junior and Senior iee The first presentation of the junior-senior Glee Club this year was Fred Waring ' s Song of Cftr istmas presented under the direction of Miss Mullen at the annual Christmas assembly. The soloists were Nancy Taylor, William Harvey, Robert Davis, and David Rich, accompanied by Gwendolyn Marsh; Mary Ketchum and Sally Mc- Clellan narrated from the boxes while the chorus was arranged on an elevated platform on the gym floor. After receiving many compliments on the Christ- mas program, which closed with Sow Mommie Kissing Santa Claus, the Glee Club started plans for an April concert. Rather than present an operetta in 1953, the Glee Club concert will consist of various types of choral selections as well as several solos. Besides planning and rehearsing for the concert, the Glee Club will be busy preparing their selections for both Class Day and Graduation. 46 • s ' 1st row: Ann Jones, Kathrine Schatz, Deborah Hatch, Gwendolyn Marsh, Judith Dupuis, Mary Sinnott, George Dow, Stephen Taylor. 2nd row: Donald Dorani, Frederick Heap, Alfred Bullock, Janet Ela, Sylvia Drake, Anne Hubbard, Earl Roswell, Marshall Delano. 3rd row; Barbara Ela, Nancy Ela, Janice Curren, Sue Gonsalves, Pamela Sherman, Marcia Damon, Judith Curren, Mary Ketchum.

This is a combination that will cer- tainly be missed next year. trombonists, two saxophonists, five trumpeters, and a pianist who meet once a week for rehearsals. There are days when one can hear sweet music seeping through the cracks in the door of the mu- sic room; then there are the days when those peculiar little notes manage to sneak into our music. This year the orchestra is following up last year ' s production of Show Boat with more Rogers and Hammerstein selections. The last few years have certainly brought forth a great change in the or- chestra music. The old marches and exercise books have been exchanged for new and modern mel- odies which have made the orchestra a greater source of enjoyment for its members. We know the orchestra is improving all the time and wish the best of luck to its members. Under the direction of Miss Mullen, our new mu- sic supervisor, the orchestra and glee clubs are en- joying music very much this year. The membership of the orchestra consists of students from the sev- enth grade through the senior class. There are seven violinists, three clarinetists, two drummers, two 1st row: Patricia French, Malin Foote, Sue Gonsalves, Pamela Sherman, Dianne Taggart, Catherine Joseph, Sally Moses, Virginia Gratto, Robert Callahan. 2nd row: Grand Rising, Dale White, William Whittaker, Sally McClellan, Priscilla Price, Peter Barry, Ralph Drake, Robert Downs, Carol Hallowell, Ann Hansen, Marshall Delano, Anthony Pina. 3rd row: Eileen Ford, Anna Hubbard, Jane Foote, Alison Livermore, Carol Jackson, Patricia Barbeau, Anne Hubbard, Peggy Creed, Janet Austin, Maureen Whelan, Joan Hayes. � men - opliomore The boys and girls of the Freshman-Sophomore Glee Club, directed by Miss Mullen, enjoy harmony and really appreciate good music. After the Christmas program the combined Glee Clubs started rehearsing for the Testimonial Dinner on March 30, in honor of Maurice Hall, retired school committee chairman. The Glee Clubs held a successful concert at the high school on April 16; and later they competed in the Massachusetts Festival of Music in addition to preparing for their part In the graduation activities. The activities of M.H.S. would be incomplete without some mention of the senior girls who have the task of creating some semblance of order when 300 M.H.S. students are passing from one classroom to another. These monitors, under the direction of Carol Wicher, simplify the job of getting these same students into the auditorium for assemblies and pep rallies, and assist in directing the parents to the various classrooms during the Open House held each fall. Helping Carol face this onslaught of students at least seven times daily are Pauline Callahan, Marcia Damon, Judy Dupuis, Joanne Harrington, Deborah Hatch, Ann Jones, Gwen Marsh, Mary Martins, Lillian Rogerson, Jean Shutt, Mary Sinnott, Frannie Small, and Jayne Nangle, a junior who will assume the responsibilities of head monitor in the fall. • • • f ememLet the eighth grade beach party?

Coach Anderson greeted almost forty enthusiastic candidates for the football squad. He regretted the loss of John Bowles, last year ' s quarterback, who went away to school, and Ralph Davis, last year ' s center, who joined the Marines. Not many people expected much from us this year, but we started the season in fine fashion with a stunning 18-0 victory over a favored Howard High team. Our next game was also a win, this time over the Big Green of Yarmouth, by the score of 14-7. Our first league game was with Scituate. It was a hard fought game with George Lantz scoring the first touchdown on a pass. The all-important extra point was missed, which later proved to be the deciding factor in the game. Late in the fourth period Scituate scored and kicked the extra point. No more scoring was done, and Scituate came out on top, 7-6. We journeyed to Randolph minus our coach, who had been taken sick with a virus. Assistant Coach Penn took over the chores, and we once more came into the win column by a score of 19-7. Cohasset at Marshfield was our next league game. The score at the end of the first half was 12-6 in Marshfield ' s favor. The final score, though, proved to be a different story as Marshfield came back strong in the second half and won by a 38-6 score. Our two big games remained. They were Bourne at Bourne and the Thanksgiving Day game at Hanover. We tackled Bourne, holders of a 7-0 record, with high spirits. In the first half their great back- field star ran our team ragged. The score at the end of the half was 19-6 in Bourne ' s favor. But we came back in the second half and held them scoreless while we picked up seven more points. We almost succeeded in getting another touch- down in the final minute, but a pass from Kenny Rand to George Lantz failed to materialize. The final score was 19-13 in Bourne ' s favor. Our Thanksgiving Day game with Hanover climaxed a very successful season for us. This game proved to be our biggest and most import- ant contest. At the close of the first half, Marsh- field held a slim 6-0 margin. At the beginning of 54 the second half, Hanover pushed to within one foot of our goal line. With a first down and only that distance to be covered, we held them for four successive plays. But then, late in the fourth period, Hanover scored, tying the score, 6-6. The kick for the extra point was blocked. The game ended with Marshfield on Hanover ' s one foot line, and the final score, 6-6. With a 4-2-1 record we ended football for 1952 and looked ahead to a successful basketball season.

They were un- defeated and unscored upon; for their work they received green blazers and a plaque on which were engraved the names of the first team play- ers, manager, and coach. Those who followed the games certainly saw some excellent ones, for the other teams in the league gave us real competition. After the Dux- bury game we received a letter from the referee saying that it had been a great thrill and privilege to referee such a fine game. This was probably the best game played all season and to make it even more dramatic, it ended 1-0. The Scituate game found goalie Nancy Taylor down in front of the goal, while the defense players covered the goal. The struggle finally resulted in a penalty bully which Nancy met with ease. Another memorable event was the Cohasset game. To the players it seemed as though it were at least forty degrees below zero. It must have been even colder for our few faithful follow- ers, but they graciously gave their gloves to the players. The end of the season brought a great deal of sadness, for we hated to see the games end, but at the same time it was a great relief to know that the championship was once again returned to Marshfield High. 56 J ecorJ.

Our 1952-1953 basketball season was un- derway. In spite of the fact that the high school never beats the alumni, we did by twelve points. Hanover, Norwell, Pembroke, and Scituate gave us trouble at the beginning but the outcome found us ahead by anywhere from eleven to twenty points. Our game with Kingston was played from a de- fensive stand point. The forwards scored only twenty- six points, but the guards limited our opponets to twenty-one thus keeping us in the game. Our next game was not as successful, but we were proud to say that we could lose like champions. The games with Hanover, Cohasset, and Norwell went by in a blur, but Pembroke gave us a jolt that we will never forget. We won by twelve points, but we had played a poor game and knew it. When, in the following game, we beat Scituate by only one point we were really scared, and the two practices that followed were unusually quiet and business-like. At last the return game with Duxbury arrived and found us ready. We took them by six points and moved into a tie for first place. What a madhouse our locker room was that night! The second team played over half of the game with Cohasset while the first team sat calmly on the bench. They wouldn t have been so calm if they had known that at the same time Scituate was beating Duxbury by one point. We were in first place with one game to go! 58 The last game with Kingston had many tense mo- ments. We led by one point most of the way and it wasn ' t until the last few seconds that we established our nine point lead. Just as we were about to start celebrating the Duxbury girls arrived and took the wind out of our sails by announcing that they were protesting their game with Scituate. It wasn ' t grant- ed, but we spent many anxious moments. We finally came out in first place and the Boos- ter ' s Club gave us a plaque which is displayed proudly beside the one the hockey team received. Judy Dupuis and Debbie Hatch received blazers to match those that the others had received for hoc- key; we all received championship emblems and basketballs. All in all it was a very successful season both on and off the court. Good luck to next year ' s team. With seven lettermen returning you should be suc- cessful although Judy, Mary, and Debbie will be greatly missed.

( adtetn If addacliusetts cu c a am With six returning lettermen, we looked forward to a pretty successful season this year. Frank Cervelli, our high scorer last year; Ben Silva, our best ball- handler and set-shooter; and Charlie Anderson, one of our most aggressive players, comprised the three front men. The back court duties were divided among George Lantz, Joe Roderick, and Ken Rand. We initiated the season with an easy win over the Alumni, 72-35. Our first league game proved to be quite the contrary as we just managed to squeak by Hanover, 42-39. We defeated our next two oppon- ents, Norwell and Pembroke, and continued on the victory trail by scoring a brilliant triumph over Sci- tuate, last year ' s champs. We defeated Kingston and Duxbury, making it seyen straight. Through all these games we were able to substitute freely and give the second team boys a chance to show their skill. We beat Hanover for the second time and over-powered Cohasset at our first meeting. We made it fifteen straight by defeating the remaining teams on our next time around, while the second team roared through their season undefeated. From here on we would be playing tournament games. We drew a bye on the first round of the quarter finals of the South Shore Conference, Divi- ston II, and we were to play the winner of the Plain- ville-Duxbury game. Duxbury won the game, so we met them for the third time this year. When the game had ended, we were again on top with a 52-43 vic- tory. In the semi-finals we met Scituate again and beat them for the third time, 62-38. 60 The finals were played at Braintree gym where we opposed East Bridgewater. From all appearances they were a very strong team, but we managed to overpower them, 67-41, and win for Marshfield its first South Shore Tournament. Now came the big time competition. The game that we had awaited all year, the Tech Tourney. Our first opponent was to be Punchard, a team which had played in the Garden many times before. We went into the game as underdogs and came out of it with one of the biggest upsets in Garden history, the final score being, 46-35. We then advanced to the semi-finals with West- port. Along with the tremendous backing of the school and townspeople, we came out on the win side once again by a score of 57-43. Now came the most important game of the year. We had advanced, to the finals in which we played the Norfolk Aggies. During the first half the score was pretty close. We went into the second half determined to put Marshfield on the map. After the shouting and cheering had subsided, we had won the Class C Eastern Mass. Tourney by a score of 51-36. Our final game was with the girls; we were under a slight handicap, but we managed to claim the title of school champs with a 29-22 victory. Of course the girls played a good game, but for a losing cause. This ended our season during which we had com- piled a 22 and 0 record. Under the expert coaching and guidance of Mr. Anderson, we brought Marsh- field three championships and an undefeated season. This year has proved to be thus far, the most out- standing in the history of Marshfield High School.

Oh good, that means a rally! What?? He said we couldn ' t have one? But the team needs one. Let ' s all go to see him. And so our almost entirely new cheerleading squad once more persuaded Mr. Romeo to have a rally. We found they were pretty successful, too, judging from the records of the teams. Whether it was at the night football rallies, the Thanksgiving Day game, or Boston Garden, the cheerleaders ' passwords — “pep and spirit — prevailed. We found that these were quite con- tagious among the student body, too. We wonder if the cheerleaders will ever forget the suspense of waiting for the first football game, canvassing the town for green dye (for guess what), mak- ing crepe paper pom-poms, getting free cokes during the halves, doing cheers on roller skates, or the quiet (?) rides on the bus (between the oop-pa-pa ' s and The Moose Walked Around, Ole Ole ).

About twenty-five players turned out to com- prise the squad of which nine are lettermen, and many others are veterans.
