RYDER 1917-1954 We, the class of 1954, are deeply honored to dedicate this, the second issue of The Tide, to Mrs. Grace E. Ryder. For two generations of Marshfield citi- zens she has made the difficult preparation for high school less portentous. She has always been a leader in civic affairs and a long-time advocate of instru- mental music in Marshfield schools. We wish to salute Mrs. Ryder and that selfless spirit of American educa- tion which she so perfectly typifies. ■ g TRESs memorial library We, the class of 1954, with this yearbook wish to ex- tend our thanks to you, the people of Marshfield, for mak- ing this attractive community by the sea such an inspira- tional place in which to grow and learn. Although our lives may be tossed and stormy, like the ocean so near in our youth, the memory of your friendliness will always gladden our hearts and smooth the turbulent waters of our fortunes. o First row: Mr. Leach, Miss Mullen, Mrs. Ryder, Mr. Romeo, Mrs. Ward, Miss Peterson, Mr. Penn.

V - ■ M||; ' ll Ikc 1 Calais 1 Judith (du Naivete, giggles, bewilderment, noise — colorful description? Yes, of course, the class of ' 54. Not as the poised Seniors of today, but as the immature 7th graders of yesterday. Let us look back on that much anticipated day in September, 1948, which finds us curiously awaiting our destination at Mr. Romeo ' s office. We soon discovered that Miss Peter- son was the lucky one chosen to calm and settle our high spirits. Shortly thereafter we held our first orderly (?) class meeting! We all agreed that a capable person was badly needed to preside over our class affairs, and Alfred Almeida was elected. After much con- sideration, we chose David Pozerycki as vice-presi- dent. By the same method, Reina Feinberg, Peter Theran, John Callahan, and Jayne Nangle filled the positions of secretary, treasurer. Student Council representative, and historian, respectively. The time soon came when we proudly took part in the diversified activities of the year. These con- sisted of — the A. A. Drive, in which we placed third with $60; the magazine drive, the object of which was the purchase of new band uniforms; the Thanksgiving D ay basket, decorated and delivered to the Marshfield Home; the Christmas Party and its exchange of gifts; the successful assembly in which Beatrice Gonsalves, Paul Fortunow, and Grace Jones participated as amateur medics. As a climax to our first year in Junior High, we fought the battle of the sexes on the softball field in the form of a class party. Everyone ready? Forward march! Destination? Grade 8. Half of us filed off at Mrs. Ryder ' s room while the rest continued down the corridor to Miss Baxter ' s. Very soon we gathered together again and elected the following leaders of our class: President, David Pozerycki; Vice-president, Alfred Almeida; Secretary, Reina Feinberg; Treasurer, Peter Theran; Student Council, Peter Barry; and Historian, Judy Curren. Our first feeling of accomplishment occurred when we proudly issued an edition of our class paper, The Eyes and Ears of M.H.S. , a task which we undertook with much vigor. The football games would not have been com- plete without our delicious home-made candy, care- fully wrapped in paper napkins! This was our first experience at a real money-making project. We began planning early for the main event of our 8th grade career — The May Dance. What a thrill it was to decorate, prepare refreshments, and dance to the music of Don Leach ' s orchestra! Our first taste of running our own dances, including the necessary preparation, was certainly a rewarding one. Well, we finally crossed over the bridge and landed in Mr. Scott ' s room as proud Freshmen, al- ways extremely eager to boast of our new position. Boy, didn ' t we think we were big? Our egos were rapidly deflated when we faced the realization that we were the youngsters of the high school. Our eagerness was short-lived for we soon found half of our group hibernating in the art room. At our first reunion Hargreaves Heap was elected president by a landslide! Vice-president Smoky Sherman did a grand job that year, right. Smoky? Jane Whittaker with her famous I left my secre- tary ' s report at home raced against the clock to record accurately the business of our class meetings. The dues swiper, Audrey Higgins, was entrusted with our meager class account. History? Why, yes! Every class event — big or small — was carefully recorded by our historian, Jayne Nangle. The Student Coun- cil warmly welcomed Peter Barry as the Freshman class representative. Coca-cola! Never an end to it! I guess it was widely appreciated at those extra warm football games, for our first money-making idea was a financial success. Remember that Birthday Variety Show? Each month of the year was represented by a colorful decorated table and a delicious cake. After every- one was seated according to his birthday, the varsity show was presented. Encore! Encore! That certainly is one evening never to be remembered! Mid-year elections crept up unexpectedly, creat- ing active enthusiasm all over again. The new selec- tions were: President, Smoky Sherman; Vice-presi- dent, Alfred Almeida; Secretary, Kathrine Schatz; 20 Treasurer, Audrey Higgins; Student Council Repre- sentative, Peter Barry; and Historian, Jayne Nangle. Unfortunately fate found its way to our class when Peter Barry was hospitalized with a concussion. That was a rough football game, wasn ' t it, Peter? We remembered him for his bravery and good sportsmanship with many get-well wishes. Tragedy number two occurred when Barbara Shaw was stricken with rheumatic fever. With the encourage- ment of her classmates and through her own per- severance, she returned to classes in the spring of the year. Newcomers? Sure! Ben Silva and Bob Habel, ath- letes even in those days, joined us. What a relief! We survived our freshman year and Latin to pass on fo our sophomore year and geometry. Your patience was tried to the utmost, wasn ' t it, Mr. Scott? Same classmates? Yes, plus four new faces — Betsy Anderson, Sally Paul, Frances Hannaford and Earl Hansen. New hairdos and the application of lipstick were signs of our fast-approaching maturity (in our opinion at least!) Miss Ellard and Mr. Reed were subjected to our antics in homeroom with Miss Ellard bearing the brunt of the burden as our class advisor. The co- operative spirit of the class officers did much to en- hance the enthusiasms of the Class of ' 54 under the leadership of President, Ben Silva; Vice-president, Peter Sinnott; Secretary, John Callahan; Treasurer, Peter Theran; Historian, Smoky Sherman; and Stu-, dent Council Representative, Janet Ela. Leap Year . . . means a lot of things! Girls, re- member the Leap Year Frolic — the opportunity of your lifetime to corner the man of your choice and dance to the music of the Starlighters? Under a new election policy for the Student Council, Janet Ela was elected in the spring to be the representative in our junior year. Class rings or school rings? This debate lasted nearly three weeks and caused much controversy throughout the corridors and classrooms of M.H.S. We, as a class, finally decided that a school ring would have more significance than a class ring. The majority of the students seemed to have the same opinion. Grace Jones and Alan Sherman were then selected by the class to choose a reliable manufacturer. And now, sports. Maybe last, but definitely not least. The championship caliber of future M.H.S. teams was being developed by our participation in both girls ' and boys ' sports. The climb to the top of the South Shore League had begun! Two down and two to go! Chemistry and U.S. history provided most of us with something new and entirely different in our junior course. Under the direction of Mrs. Arnold, our new ad- visor, we filled the following positions of class lead- ership; President, Alfred Almeida; Vice-president, Alan Sherman; Secretary, Kathrine Schatz; Trea- surer, Peter Theran; Student Council representative, Janet Ela; and Historian, Grace Jones. We heartily welcomed Joe Carr, transferring from Weymouth, and George Dow, rejoining us af- ter a year in Puerto Rico. The girls ' undefeated, unscored-upon hockey team started a new era in M.H.S. athletics. The girls ' basketball squad, through their outstanding spirit and vitality, came out on top of the South Shore League with only one defeat. The poise and ability of our South Shore Boys ' Champions was admirably displayed when they anxiously took part in the various tournaments at the close of the regu- lar season. In addition to the South Shore Champ- ionship banner, they earned the trophies emblem- atic of the Brockton Tournament winner and the State Class C Championship. Pin a patch on a boy? Oh, no! ! Although this idea of using patches for invitations did not go over too well, the Pumpkin Patch Dance was very suc- cessful and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. Meet Corliss Archer, the first display of our acting abilities, was presented in April after a short delay caused by an epidemic of the mumps. Thanks to the greatly appreciated help of Mr. Holden and Barbara Shaw, everything ran along smoothly — except for Tony ' s delayed exit! The original decorations of a spring scene with a wishing well as the center of attraction, along with the music of Eddie Ladd, made an impressive Junior Prom. We were one elated class when we finally re- ceived our rings after a long and patient wait. We certainly didn ' t lose any time in showing them off. Jayne Nangle and Smoky Sherman were chosen to attend Girls ' State and Boys ' State in early June and gave an amusing account of their experiences at the beginning of our senior year. The social season was capped by the most im- portant event of the year — the Senior Reception. The thought of becoming seniors overwhelmed us 21 when we realized we were to replace the Class of 1953 as the leaders of M.H.S. The magical year of 1954 was within reaching distance — finally! When we congregated in Room 9 in September, little did we realize that the re- maining months of our high school career would pass so quickly and we would find ourselves seated on the platform of the M.H.S. auditorium for the last time. To lead us through the activities of this trying year, Alfred Almeida and Alan Sherman were chosen. In case anyone ever wanted to follow the turbulent course of senior class meetings, Kath- rine Schatz scribbled frantically to keep the sec- retary ' s records up to date. Since finances are a major problem in any senior year, Peter Theran did his best to collect the dues. We were happy to take in two new members this year — Don Mon- roe and Ralph Bennett. Our responsibilities as seniors began in full force when Janet became president of the Student Coun- cil. Judy, as vice-president, got plenty of practice conducting pep rallies as Janet was busy cheer- leading. Since we were such a studious class, the thoughts of further education immediately entered our minds, causing diligent preparation — college applications, interviews, college boards, autobiograp hies, and transcripts(!i) Our rosy visions of college were shat- tered when we heard the inside story from present college freshmen. Our enthusiasm for the various class activities began when Miss Miller, our senior advisor, chose the yearbook staff consisting of Judy Curren and Alfred Almeida as co-editors; Janet Ela as business manager; and many diligent and enthusiastic sen- iors. A whist party in October was our first money- raising scheme. Several of the seniors joined in the games, making the evening more entertaining. Elec- tion Day in March found several of us at the High School at 6 A.M. preparing for a food sale to sup- port our yearbook. The climax of our financial en- deavors was a successful canvassing of the town for patrons. In addition to our ventures, we appre- ciated the whist party that the Grace Chapel Com- munity Club sponsored for our benefit. March 26 — sound familiar? The Tide went to press after much confusion on the part of the staff. We certainly were relieved, but at the same time we felt a great sense of accomplishment. Those 2:30 meetings in Room 9, when everyone was in the best of spirits, helped to make our senior year an outstanding one. 1920 hats and dresses, safety pockets, life pre- servers — you guessed it! Our Hearts Were Young and Gay was cast in November under the direction of Miss Miller. Mingled with the frustrations of re- hearsals was the comic relief of backstage antics. The audience ' s response on the night of December 4 was heartwarming and certainly gratifying to those who had worked so conscientiously. The poise and nonchalance of the cast covered a multitude of sins! ! On the spur of the moment we decided unani- mously that a Senior Prom around Christmas would be appropriate. Christmas decorations under a star- studded roof, refreshments of Christmas punch, the music of the Starlighters, and many familiar faces of the alumni added up to an evening full of holi- day spirit. The undefeated hockey team repeated its win- ning streak, again acquiring the South Shore Cham- pionship. The girls carried their ever-present urge to become champions into the basketball season, once again coming up with a South Shore Cham- pionship, this time with an undefeated record. Ben and Moose returned from last year ' s championship team as co-captains of this year ' s squad. Scituate and Marshfield shared the crown of the South Shore after a comparatively close season. The disappointment of losing two tournament games was compensated for by the realization that our team acted as a stepping stone to the two future champions. Honors of another sort were bestowed on several of the outstanding members of our class. By vote of the faculty and the senior class, Janet Ela was chosen as the recipient of the Good Citizenship Award. Alan Sherman was elected by the student body to be our representative on Good Govern- ment Day. The mature side of our accomplishments was high- lighted by the announcement of honor parts for graduation. Tomorrow night Judith Curren will grad- uate with highest honors while five of our classmates will graduate with honors— Janet Ela, Arlene Murphy, Jayne Nangle, Peter Theran, and John Callahan. The extracurricular participation of these outstand- ing seniors apparently had a stimulating effect on their scholastic attainments. As our senior year draws to a close with Gradua- tion, we would like to express our sincere apprecia- tion to Miss Miller, who has helped us in every pos- sible way to reach this important moment of our lives. We would also like to thank the faculty and student bod y for making our high school years so pleasant. We, the class of 1954, leave M.H.S. with the hope that our experiences of the past six years, no matter how trivial, will bring dividends in our future. 22 Bed l ouJ a, and Sk t l oit oCiLeit to ucceeJ tfrJ LeiJa and Judith (durret Wod PopJc lat Bed 2 ) reide cl Wod %tenjL a„.l CL, 2)en Won,,,, race Peter 17 . eran, Alfred . fmeiJa, udiili C urren i eit oCooLin peter Sinnott - ddeti nderion Wo.t PJlte €Le J een-2)on Wo West anet kx-Qeor e 2 ) ' CU CL owni .J atlierine ScLtz.

Sound fantastic? Well, it hap- pened on the night of December 4, 1953. Judy and Janet, as Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough, stepped onto the M.H.S. stage and took us to the 1920 ' s in the senior class play. Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. Cornelia and Emily, as they prepare to sail for Europe, are trying to appear sophisticated although Mr. and Mrs. Skinner (John Callahan and Kathrine Schatz) treat them as immature 19-year-olds. The confusion of sailing is increased by the Herculean efforts of the ste’O ' rd (Tony Hatch) as he delivers trunk after trunk to the tiny stateroom, and by the loss and recovery of the ever-present safely pockets. The experiences of the girls on shipboard, hil- arious throughout, include romantic entanglements with two Harvard med students (Alfred Almeida and John Caswell), meeting with the two fright- fully ripping British girls (Betsy Anderson and Jayne Nangle), mistaking the ship ' s band leader (Don Monroe) for an admiral, the second return of the elusive safety pockets by the purser (Smokey Sher- man) and his assistant (Beatrice Gonsalves) ' and Emily ' s pat on the back for catching a stowaway. The first tragedy of the voyage comes when Cornelia contracts the measles as the health inspector (Bette Kelley) is about to reach their cabin. What a dilemma! Powder and lipstick are plastered all over Cornelia by Dick, Emily and Leo in order to cover the dreaded spots. With the aid of a charm- ing chapeau , Cornelia succeeds in passing the health inspection as they arrive in Le Havre. Arriving in Paris, Cornelia and Emily register at a boarding house run by Madame Elise and her daughter (Barbara Shaw and Grace Jones). Pre- vious guests had included Cardinal Richdiieu and among the present occupants were . . . bedbugs! Cornelia ' s swollen lip the following morning indicated they had had little to eat since the Cardinal ' s visit. The arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Skinner finds the dis- tinguished Otis, the mighty hunter put to work on the scrubbing detail. Thus ended tragedy number two, with the girls and their Harvard escorts leav- ing for dinner in Paris. Monsieur de la Croix (Peter Theran), the noted French actor whose only interest in Cornelia was her actor-father, finally agreed to give her acting lessons. Tragedy number three struck when Monsieur belittled Cornelia ' s acting ability with this pro- nouncement, Why don ' t you take up dressmaking? Discouraged and disheartened, Cornelia went into a series of monologues which drew the approval of all present, including the window cleaner (Peter Sinnott). The fond farewell of the two girls to their room in Paris created a mood of sadness which was abruptly broken when the safety pockets were dis- covered under the bed as the curtain fell. From early November, when the cast was chosen, laughter could be heard through the corridors in M.H.S.; it reached its peak the day costumes were being fitted. Those flapper fashions really did things for the cast, and to the audience. Knickers, blazers, clothes, safety pockets, life jackets, slinky black dresses . . . plus the foghorn and chocolate cake: the list is infinite. No doubt we will always remember the unex- pected curtain in Act III for emergency repairs (won ' t we, Judy?j. And someday Tony will get the point of his jokes. Will we ever forget the male dishwashing machines for our cast dinner . . . the scrumptious roast beef . . . the nerve-racking rehearsals . . . the big haunt and the little haunt (directors, that is) . . . the trips to Hubbard ' s . . . everybody out from backstage ? Yes, December 4, 1953, is a day we will long remember with a great d al of pleasure. C iciss f t ' OpL i ' opnec f anet ia an J fan Sh erman Notice: missing— the one and only copy of the 1954 class prophecy of Marshfield High School. One thousand dollar reward. Out of the blue soars a 2154 latest Studley model space ship christened Bump. Reading the sign with his robot vision, the space ship remarks, I could use that tidy sum. Off to the Pearly Gate he flew in search of the 1954 crew for a clue. An odd sight appeared before Bump ' s eyes— a 1930 roadster hotrod stopped before the Pearly Gate. The space ship screamed to a stop before St. Peter. He roared to St. Peter in a booming voice, Is George Dow in there? Of course not, is the reply. What did George ever do to get in here? Well, is any of the Marshfield 1954 class here? Yes, only two deserving ones, angel s, Ste. Grace Marie Jones and Ste. Judith Curren, teaching all the cherubs. Out walk Ste. Grace and Ste. Judy, with pure white dresses and gold halos above their heads, wondering with whom St. Peter is talking. All they could see was a space ship, which roared at them in a strangely familiar voice— Bump ' s voice, Where is our prophecy? Grace answered in a tinkling voice, I don ' t know. Find Janet and Smoky. In a cloud of gold dust Bump took off. He knew where to look for them. Down three levels by way of the China rice fields Bump plows. Even the devil didn ' t know where Smoky and Janet were. Bump buzzed down to the last level, the reincarnation cen- ter. In the President ' s office there wasn ' t a soul in sight. All this office consisted of was a desk, easy chair, water cooler, and a clock on the wall. The desk sounded amazingl y like Alfred whose rise to executive power amazed everyone. Be seated, spoke the desk in an efficient tone. Bump sprawled into the easy chair which emitted a sleepy groan. Down came a gavel hard on the desk— for once Elsie was knocking Alfred around. The easy chair jumped with a start. Alfred shouted, Jake, don ' t ever let me catch you sleeping on the job again. Yes, master, murmured the easy chair. A bub- bling began from the water cooler; private secre- tary, Beatrice was giggling again. The quiet clock on the wall chimmed softly at the hour. A wonderful clock, remarked Alfred. Arlene gives her time so freely, as my other private secre- tary. What do you want. Bump? If it ' s the prophecy, I haven ' t seen it. Everyone must report to my office once a week; you will have to wait for the authors to appear. In walked a needle and a thimble, formerly the two best dressmakers in Paris, Barbara Shaw and Beverly Fletcher. They still show their punctuality by being the first to report. Before the thimble and needle have a chance to go back to their respective sewing cubbyholes, a zebra accompanied by a cop- per spring bounced in. The zebra (alias ex-convict. Pretty Boy Sinnott) (alias the Foot) commanded, No one leaves this office until the prophecy is found. We want the reward, confessed Don, copper spring, Monroe, a one-time swindler who sold coiled copper wire for fantastic prices, claiming that if the wire were put on the carburetor, it would give a tremendous saving of gasoline. Just a minute, screamed the desk and down came the gavel again. Just a minute nothing replied the big-footed zebra, we are controlling the office now. The class of ' 54 began to file in by two ' s and three ' s. Down in the corridor was heard a ringing and whirring noise coming toward the office. Kath- rine was now a telephone complaining that she had to listen instead of talk. Bette Kelley, a vacuum cleaner, was forever picking up dirt. Through the ventilator of the office floated in an atomic submarine The worthy Captain Ralph Ben- nett went down with his ship in the War of 1984. The barking of a vicious dog was heard; it was chasing a telescope, which was followed by a ruined negative. Peter Theran had cured so many dogs of ferociousness that it had become incurable in him. To make things worse, surveyor John Callahan, now a telescope, had taken away Peter ' s new hospital site. John Caswell had taken pictures of this situa- tion. Now as a ruined negative, he is still trying to develop his hobby into a profession. In hobbled an elephant ' s tusk; nobody could imagine who it was. Then Billy Bryant told his sad story. He had been an elephant hunter in the African wilds. The law of averages finally caught up with him. Suddenly through the ceiling crashed a new star of the galaxy, Tony Hatch, famous six dimension come- dian. Hi, everyone! Want to hear my latest joke. Ha-Ha-Ha-! A blackboard struggled into the crowded office. Jayne Nangle had the best disciplined junior high class. Her class did only one thing wrong; they threw erasers at the blackboard. Since Jayne was the object of their aim, she knows how a backboard must have felt when she used to slam a basketball against it. In tripped a huge Webster dictionary— Donald Coit, an eloquent orator; no longer is Don at a loss for words. Frannie Hannaford, once an Olympic champion rolierskater, did not show her championship style as she stumbled into the office as a roller skate. Everyone was delighted to have the new fantastic permanent wave machine join them at this time. Kathy Cobb had styled many famous hairdos. An eyelash fluttered in. The class of ' 54 could scarcely see who it was. As is the case with all flirtatious eyelashes, it has an objective. It was try- ing to cover up roving eyes. It ' s Betsy, everyone shouted. A hush fell over the room The roar of a lion and the honk of a moose were heard; then they came in sight. Perched between the moose ' s antlers was a basketball. Moose and Ben had just arrived from Ellsworth, Maine. Now Ben realizes what a basket- ball feels like when slapped, swishing through the net. Moose was his good old self. Bob Habel, Fear- less Fagan of the Detroit Lions, famous lion quater- back threw himself over the one yard line into the room. All but four of the ' 54 class were present. No one could get out until the prophecy was found and the authors were among the missing. The desk, Alfred, picked up a gold plated pencil to write an order. He kept hearing a squeek from the almost worn-off eraser. It was Smoky Sherman. Now the executive, who continually crossed out words, is an eraser- finding out what his purpose in life is. Everyone yelled to Smoky at once, Where is the prophecy? The only reply poor, worn-out Smoky could squeak out was, Here comes Janet. She ' ll tell you. A tailless horse came trotting into the room. The implication was obvious— Janet had gone through life with only the tail; now she has to live out the other half. The desk shouted, Where in heaven ' s name is the prophecy? It ' s in George ' s hot rod; we put it there in an envelope the Saturday night before it was due. Somebody from the Class of ' 54 yelled, George isn ' t here yet! In the midst of confusion the space ship. Bump, roared, I saw George ' s rod in front of the Pearly Gate; he must be stalled there. Within seconds the Class of ' 54 had piled into the space ship and Bump soared off to Heaven. The first thing sighted was a ladder trying to scale the Pearly Gate. Carpenter Joe Carr had built himself a ladder on earth, because he knew that was the only way he could ever get into Heaven. A heart-rending sob was heard from the dead engine. It was George; he wouldn ' t start. Thirty-one objects grabbed for the envelope lying on the car floor (George had never taken a beating like this, not even in football). The desk opened the envelope. To the astonishment of the Class of ' 54 (except the old worn-out eraser and the tailless horse) the en- velope was empty. The old rusty crank, presumed to be Miss Miller, was so furious that the prophecy hadn ' t been written yet that it whirred and cranked so hard and so fast that the motor started abruptly. The antique Ford roadster plowed through the Pearly Gate and the Class of 1954 disapeared into Heaven. Judy Curren, Jayne Nangle, Peter Theran, John Callahan, Janet Ela, Arlene Murphy. Testament We, the members of the Class of 1954 of Marshfield High School, town of Marshfield, Plymouth County, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind (or reasonable facsimile) do hereby designate this document to be our last Will and Testament. We desire to benefit those who follow us by leaving to them as much of ourselves as is possible; therefo re, we do solemnly make the following bequests: To the Seventh grade we leave M.H.S. and the profound hope that you will have as wonderful a six years as we did. To the Eighth grade we leave all the water pistols that Mrs. Ryder took away from us on our trip to Boston. To the Sophomores we leave all our decorating ideas and our wishing well, so that you may have as successful a Junior Prom as we did. To the Juniors we leave Room 9— Be gentle, kids, it won ' t take much more! To the teachers we leave a huge bottle of aspirin. Not that they need them with our quiet class! To the school we leave a peaceful silence to reign in our absence. Alfred Almeida leaves his intellectual curiosity to Freddie Abbruzzese. Just don ' t expect it to help you in math, Fred. Betsy Anderson leaves her roving eye to Anne Hubbard. Betsy says boys are a worthwhile hobby. Hub. Ralph Bennett leaves his ability to wreck experiments to Mike Hansen. You ' ve got a good start, Mike. Albert Bonney leaves all his unfinished sandwiches and his easy chair to Lee Studley. You should feel right at home, Lee. Billy Bryant leaves the Sophomore class with much regret. John Callahan leaves his ability to insult teachers and get away with it to Nancy Blackman. We wonder if she will know what to do with it. Joe Carr leaves his shop ability to Ronnie Peterson. Take life easy, Ronnie, you ' ll never learn anything on the bench. Don Coit leaves his shyness to Mary Shanley. Have a little mercy on the teachers, Mary. Judy Curren leaves her drcimatic ability to the cast of next year ' s Senior play. This includes that plunging hipline! John Caswell leaves his touchdown to any deserving lineman who wants the glory. Good luck. Sully. Kathy Cobb leaves her big blue eyes to David Barbeau. They ought to help you to appear innocent, Dave. George Dow leaves his motto Care, caution, and courtesy on the highways to Calvin Bumpus. Not that you could use it, Calvin. Janet Ela leaves the school— what ' s left of it! Beverly Fletcher leaves her full skirts to Janet Austin and Debbie Anderson. No Comment ! ! ! 30 Beatrice Gonsalves leaves tor Wareham. Good luck, Beatty. Grace Jones leaves her vim, vigor, and vitality to Ronnie Holmes so he ' ll be better able to keep up with Butch. Bob Habel leaves his monstrous Marshfield M to Johnnie Creed. You ' ll make head manager yet, John. Tony Hatch leaves his stale jokes to the lunchroom, they ' ll feel right at home with the food., Franny Hannaford leaves her speeding tickets to Mary Ketchum and Judy Martinson. Keep off the road, boys; they ' re dangerous. Elsie Keene leaves her giggles to Mr. Scott. After the first thousand giggles, it ceases to be humorous. Bette Kelley leaves with an eye on a soldier boy and plans for a dream house. Don Monroe leaves his politeness to David Archer. Cheer up, Dave, you might last a whole class period yet. Arlene Murphy leaves her high marks in English to Edgar Simmons. Have faith, Edgar, there may be a new English teacher next year. Jayne Nangle leaves her qualities of leadership to Janice Curren. Good luck Janice, and let ' s have some championship teams! Joe Roderick leaves Miss Marinelli. May she rest in peace. Katherine Schatz leaves her gab, gab, gab to Bobby Downs. Is he really that quiet, girls? Barbara Shaw leaves her rose-colored glasses and friendly optimism to Pat Coughlin. Snap out of it, Pat, the world is not as bad as all that. Smoky Sherman leaves his long runs to next year ' s football team. That ' s right. Smoky, we said Long runs. Ben Silva leaves his swishers to next year ' s basketball team. Don ' t fight, boys, there ' s plenty for everyone. Pete Sinnott leaves his size fourteen shoes to Red Williams, since you ' re going to be seven feet tall next year. Red. Bump Studley leaves his plane to Mr. Holden, so he can get out of Marsh- field more often. Besides, Bump had to pass Problems. Peter Theran leaves his ability to talk his way out of anything to Freddy Heap. Come on Freddy, let ' s see if you can use it to good advantage. The foregoing instrument was in our presence signed and sealed by the said Class of ' 54 at the end thereof, 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 26, 1954.

Although there are only 28 of us, we are very well represented in sports and other activities, and hold our own when it comes to the honor roll. We are especially proud of two of our foot- ball players, John Sullivan and Ronnie Holmes. John was awarded the trophy for the best lineman of the year by the Boosters ' Club, and Ronnie Holmes was selected as a member of the All South Shore Team by the South Shore Mirror. Among the mishaps this year were Bob Hender- son ' s seriously fractured ankle and the loss of two of our most outstanding members, Nancy Ela and Sally McClellan, who moved away in November. A new monitor system, which requires a tour of the school in order to get across the corridor, resulted in the drafting of Jane Foote and Mary Ketchum as junior monitors. Some of our lighter moments were spent in elastic fights, drowning parties in the lab, and experimenting with the electro-static machine in physics class. None of us who were there will ever forget the shocking experience Mr. Romeo had when he visited our physics class. Need I say more? Some of our serious and more pleasurable moments were our Touchdown Twirl and the Prom. They were quite successful socially and financially. Pretty girls and tasteful decorations made these af- fairs something we will always remember. The class took in stride the annual barrage of paper work which makes up the B.U. Vocational Aptitude Tests, and was excused an hour before closing time under formal protest. We are all looking forward to next year when we will prove the old saying that the best things come in little packages. 1st row: Mary Ketchum, Student Council Peter Barry, President Mrs. Arnold, Advisor Jane Foote, Historian 2nd row: John Sullivan, Vice-President Judith Martinson, Secretary Paul Lennon, Treasurer First row: Calvin Bumpus, Nancy Blackman, David McMaster, Maureen Whelan, Peter Barry, John Moran.

These and similar exclamations were heard in Room 1 1 the morning of March 26 when we were to present Mother Is a Freshman, our first dramatic man attempt. The result was well received by the audi- ence who forgave us our nervousness and a few of the backstage difficulties (where was that music?). Mother Is a Freshman is the story of an attractive widow (Maureen Whelan) who has spent her hus- band ' s money improvidently and is unable to send her daughter (Nancy Blackman) back to her sopho- more year in college. Abby discovers a scholarship is available for an Abigail Fortitude Abbott and enters Pointer College as a freshman in order to help her financial situation. The Dean (John Moran) is sure she is doing this as a publicity stunt and does all he can to make her break some regulation. However, the housemother (Alison Livermore) assures the Dean that Abby is a model student . . . the girls aren ' t too sure whether they like her, but there is no question in the minds of the boys! Under the terms of the scholarship, Abby must major in zoology; the attractive Professor Michaels (Dave McMaster) falls in love with Abby. At the same time Susan, the daughter, thinks he is in love with her. The complications which arise are smooth- ed out effectively; the Dean relents and Abby is allowed to continue at Pointer . . . permanently, according to Professor Michaels. 35 dtil 1st row; Robert Callahan, Sue Gonsalves, Patricia French, Carol Hallowell, Phyllis Opelski, Patricia Snovy, Joan Hayes, Anna Hubbard, Virginia Gratto, Robert Jones. 2nd row: David Barbeau, Eileen Ford, Priscilla Price, James Murphy, Anne Hubbard, Miss Ellard, Nicolas Wherity, Pamela Sherman, Chandler Cleveland, Patricia Coughlin, Lee Studley. 3rd row: Antonio Gonsalves, Robert lopes, Anthony Pina, Mary Shanley, Rachel Gallant, Ann Hansen, Carol Jackson, Carol Seaburg, Betty Moran, Margaret Creed, Laureen Sullivan, Joan Long, Ellsworth Williams, Glen McLaughlin, John Quinn. 4th row: Ronald Gillis, Marshall Delano, Vaughn Hall, Steven Atwater, Ralph Drake , Christopher Little, Daniel Anderson, Paul Harter, Phillip Lantz, Robert Downs, Richard Kent. The Class of ' 56 returned to MHS lost foil with oil sorts of good intentions. In our first noisy class meeting we managed to elect officers to see us through the year. The second meeting (held after a two month interval) was more successful, and we made the arrangements for our dance, the Candy Carnival. How we worked on those decorations! Poor Miss Ellard and those peaceful class meetings! But on February 6, the MHS gym was the scene of one of the big affairs of our sophomore year, despite the fact a good many of our classmates supported The Robe instead. Sophomores seemed to get into everything . . . good and bad! In football Dick Kent, Steve Atwater, James Murphy, Vaughn Hall, Robert Downs, Mar- sha!! Delano, Tony Gonsalves, David Barbeau, Chan Cleveland and Red Williams gave some of the other squad members quite a battle. Anne Hub- bard, Laureen Sullivan, Carol Seaberg, Carol Jack- son, Sue Gonsalves, Eileen Ford, Patty French, Vir- ginia Gratto, Pamela Sherman, Anne Hansen and Pat Coughlin hold their own in girls ' sports. With Mr. Scott to straighten us out in geometry. Miss Ellard to guide our class affairs, Mrs. Arnold to develop our knowledge of French songs, and the four boys to enliven our Latin class, we manage to get something of value from our hours at MHS. 1 M J 1st row: Anne Hubbard, Secretary Nicholas Wherity, President Elizabeth Ellard, Class Advisor 2nd row: Priscilla Price, Historian Chandler Cleveland, Treasurer James Murphy, Student Council Pamela Sherman, Vice-President 1st row: Kenneth Halpin, John Murphy, Howard Mclntire, Ronald Peterson, Joseph Doyle, George Brandt, Robert DeMulder, Rod- ney Caron, Robert Murray, Thomas Flynn. 2nd row: Ruth Seaburg, Geraldine Gallant, Barbara Martin, Janice Curren, Mr. Scott, Stewart Carlton, Kevin Murphy, Michael Bissell, Mary Ann Sulfivan, Linda Clapp, Carol Bennett, Susan Drake, Sheila Stewart. 3rd row: Sheila Coughlin, Margaret Allen, Edward Randall, Stanley Williams, Kkincy Joe Williams, Juanita Kelley, Louise Allen, Nancy Hobbs, Judith Rogers, Margaret Linskey, Shirley Cooper, Sylvia Drake, Nancy Coggeshall, Pamela Hallowell, Carol Wells, Sandra Yasevicz, Linda Fortunow, Carol Stengel, Donald Doroni, David Nicholson, Janet Shaw, Madeline Foote. 4fh row: Frederick Heap, David Ryder, Charles Mansfield, John Creed, Earl Roswell, Steven Borrelli, Douglas Cohee, Robert Bonny, John Ulanowski, Stephen Johnson, Robert Long, Donald Golden, Donald Blunt. of 1957 The largest class ever to enter Marshfield High made their appearance in Mr. Scott ' s room for their first class meeting early in September. We had an exceptionally sports-minded class and added many athletes to the football, hockey and basketball squads. Mary Ann Sullivan, Bar- bara Ela, Janice Curren, Stuart Carlton, Mike Bissell, Charles Mansfield, Kenneth Halpin, and Steve John- son proved their abilities this fall and winter. No doubt they will eventually appear on the M.H.S. varsity teams in future years. In the classroom we managed to make life mis- erable for our teachers. What would we have done without Fred and Don ' s remarks in Latin class? In January, Mrs. Arnold surprised us with a trip to Boston to see Julius Caesar, which we enjoyed immensely. One of our class officers, Bobbie Ela, moved to New Hampshire, and her place on the Student Council was taken by Mary Ann Sullivan. Our main class function, the Freshman Frolic, was a success, socially and financially. So if Mr. Scott can p ut up with us through the rest of the year, we might survive to become sophomores and bother the sophomore advisor with our antics. 1st row: Mr. Scott, Advisor Kevin Murphy, President Linda Clapp, Secretary 2nd row: Michael Bissell, Vice-President Janice Curren, Historian Stuart Carlton, Treasurer Mary Ann Sullivan, Student Council i|ii Hill ?sf row; Richard Reed, Benjamin Fernandes, Kenneth Shepherd, Joseph Vatter, William Bachman, Louis Lopes, Peter LeMay. 2nd row: Eileen McGuire, Carol Williams, Linda Parker, Kerry Theran, John Simpson, Mrs. Ryder, Linda Morrow, Harry Pratt, Ann Little, Patricia Johnson, Diane Stewart. 3rd row: Mary Keene, Ellen Lake, Virginia Venti, Sylvia McDonald, Susan Drake, Janice Opelski, Kathleen Long, Jane Cohee, Jean Van Amringe, Judy Hynes, Patricia Curran. 4th row: David Taggart, Wayne Tyler, Charles Quin- lan, Sylester Gookin, Ross Ketchum, Joseph Cunning, Richard Williams, John Rhodes, Richard Hemmer, David Archer, Willard Moses.

Student C ouncii The Student Council consists of eleven members who are the choice of their classmates to repre- sent them in the school government. They are the voice of the pupils in the management of the school, the link between the students and faculty. With the help of their advisor, Mr. Scott, the Council has undertaken many projects this year. Aside from performing the usual service of supplying assemblies and conducting the pep rallies, they have modified the monitor system, making it as efficient as possible. These changes required two additional monitors, so Jane Foote and Mary Ketchum were elected from the junior class. The Student Council also conducted a record poll in February which was presented over WHDH by Elsie Keene, Kathy Cobb, Alfred Almeida, and Don Monroe. Alan Sherman and Janet Ela were the candi- dates chosen by the Student Council for the honor of representing the school on Good Government Day. Elections were held in the junior and senior high home rooms, and Alan Sherman was elected. He represented MHS when students from the high schools of the state took over the State House for_ a day in March. This year the MHS Student Council joined the New England Association of Student Governments. In addition, representatives were once again sent to the convention of the Massachusetts Association of Student Councils, held in Hingham this past May. Each class selects one of its members to repre- sent them on the Council. Janet Ela is the senior representative; Mary Ketchum, junior; James Murphy, sophomore; Mary Ann Sullivan, freshman; John Simpson, 8th grade; and Paul Smith, 7th grade. Also on the Student Council are girls ' and boys ' sports representatives, Judy Curren and Alan Sher- man; point system head, John Callahan; monitor cap- tain, Jayne Nangle; and the school treasurer, Elsie Keene. 42 .

Last year they were given the privilege of playing the Star Spangled Banner for our opening game at the Tech Tourna- ment in Boston Garden. Once again they were delighted to accompany the Marshfield rooters at the Tournament. The one hundred piece band sponsored by the Southeastern Massachusetts School Bandmasters As- sociation, which was cfirected by Mr. Leach included these M.H.S. bandsmen — Janice Curren, Mike Bissell, and Earl Roswell. The concert, held in Whit- man on February 24, was a striking example of the talent of the musicians of the area. On April 2, the band participated in a musical concert with the choral groups of M.H.S. Their participation in the annual Southeastern Massachu- setts Band Festival, held in Fall River in May, brought them the same high quality of recognition that they have enjoyed in the past. With graduation the band loses two trumpeters, Alfred Almeida and Janet Ela; one drummer, George Dow; one saxophonist, Judy Curren; and one drum major, Tony Hatch. It is hoped that the musically inclined people in the lower grades will eventually replace the seniors to keep a strong band. 43 1st row; Beatrice Gonsalves, Kathrine Schatz, Elise Keene, Mary Ketchum, Miss Mullen, Kathleen Cobb, Judith Curren, Barbara Blass, Sandra Clark. 2nd row; Jane Faote, Grace Janes, Peter Barry, Beverly Fletcher, Judith Martinson, Donald Cait, Janet Austin, Maureen Whelan, Alison Livermore. 3rd row; Janet Ela, Patricia Barbeau, Anthony Hatch, Gearge Dow, Betsy Anderson, Jayne Mangle. The Glee Clubs of Marshfield High School, under the direction of Miss Mullen, comprise ap- proximately one-third of the student body. The organization is divided into two groups, the Fresh- men-Sophomore Glee Club which meets on Thurs- days, and the Junior-Senior Glee Club on Wednes- days. The former does exceptionally well for a small group; it is encouraging to see a larger per- centage of boys as larger classes enter Marshfield High School. The latter consists of many juniors and seniors who have been active in glee club during their high school career. 1st row; Sue Gonsalves, Patricia French, Carol Stengel, Madeline Foote, Joan Hayes, Sheila Coughlin. 2nd row: Pat Snow, Geral- dine Gallant, Malin Foote, Patricia Coughlin, Joan Long, Miss Mullen, Rachel Gallant, Phyllis Opelski, Eileen Ford, Carol Wells, Linda Clapp. 3rd row: Susan Drake, Carol Hallowell, David Nicholson, Ann Hansen, Earle Roswell, Marshall Delano, Donald Golden, Margaret Creed, Robert Callahan, Janice Curren, Judy Rogers. 4tb row; Pamela Sherman, Nancy Coggeshall, Priscilla Price, John Long, John Creed, Daniel Anderson, Ralph Drake, Ronald Gillls, Margaret Linskey, Ann Hubbard, Carol Jackson.

The combined groups presented Fred Woring ' s Song of Christmas at the annual Christmas assem- bly. The initial performance of this cantata had been received enthusiastically by the PTA earlier in the Christmas season. Mary Ketchum and Carol Jackson were the narrators, while freshman Carol Stengel and senior Anthony Hatch were soloists. On April 2 the Glee Clubs, in conjunction with the Marshfield High School Band, presented a con- cert for the townspeople. The remainder of the year was spent in selecting and rehearsing the material for the commencement week program. ORCHESTRA Every Monday during first period twenty of the more musically-inclined pupils of Marshfield High take over the music room. With Miss Mullen con- ducting, the orchestra tunes up for the weekly rehearsal. For a school the size of ours, the orchestra is well-balanced and improves each year. This fall saw the addition of a clarinetist, two violinists, one saxophonist, a pianist, and two trumpeters. The membership consists of junior and senior high stu- dents and a one point credit is given for a year ' s parti cipation. The orchestra is an integral part of the Gradu- ation and Class Day programs, supplying the tradi- tional processional and recessional as well as spe- cial selections.

Single file. No lockers. That ' s the extent of the monitors ' vocabulary, it seems. But with the introduction of some new ideas into the monitoring system of MHS, the senior girls (and their junior assistants, Jane Foote and Mary Ketch- urn) seem to have things well in hand. More moni- tors are on duty in the congested areas of the school, and the girls get a change of scenery each week as they rotate the monitor positions. add William Abbruzzese Northeastern University Gwendolyn Marsh University of New Hampshire Charles Anderson Boston University Mary Ann Martins At Home Paul Barry Boston University Donald McAleer Boston College Elliott Binley Air Force Richard Michelini M.I.T.

The 1953 football season was one of the most successful in recent years. Even though we lost 12 lettermen and came back with an extremely green and inexperienced squad, we won 6 out of 7 games. Public expectations of a good season were slim, but we started off with a bang by defeating favored Howard High of West Bridgewater 25-0. Our next victory, under the leadership of co- captains Joe Roderick and Smokey Sherman, was over Yarmouth, and we defeated them by a score of 21-0. Now it came time to journey to Scituate, again as the underdog. At the end of the first half we were behind by a score of 6-0. It was a different team that came out for the second half, and we immed- iately proceeded to score early in the third period. We held them until late in the fourth period when they staged a 70 yard touchdown run with a tricky pass play. It was a tough one to lose by only 7 points, but we came back strong in the following games. A high point of the season was our upset of Randolph, who was favored over us by 18 points. They penetrated to our side of the 50 yard stripe just once, and then scored their only touchdown. At the conclusion of the game we had won 27-7. Cohasset and Bourne gave us little trouble and bowed by scores of 40-13 and 40-27 respec- tively. Thanksgiving day brought Hanover to our home grounds to try to break the jinx of two successive ties. Nearly 2000 people attended as we drove to the Hanover goal to win by a score of 19-0, a fine ending of a very successful season. Our football banquet was held December 7 and trophies were awarded to John Sullivan, best lineman, and Joe Roderick, best back, by Mr. Vincent C. Cohee. The Boosters Club also awarded jackets to all senior lettermen. This season was a perfect example of team- work, rather than individual performances. 52 53 ootLaii Record Marshfield 25 Marshfield 21 Marshfield 6 Marshfield 27 Marshfield 40 Marshfield 40 Marshfield 19 Howard 0 Yarmouth 0 Scituate 13 Randolph 7 Cohasset 13 Bourne 27 Hanover 0 oCetterm en Peter Barry, Albert Bonney, Calvin Bumpus, John Callahan, John Caswell, George Dow, Robert Downs, Robert Habel, Robert Henderson, Ronald Holmes, Richard Kent, David McMaster, Don Monroe, Joseph Roderick, Alan Sherman, Benjamin Silva, Lee Studley, John Sullivan, James Murphy, Robert Jones, Manager.

Si oi e ieid JdocLet Cdli lum jjiond The Marshfield High field hockey team for the second consecutive year captured the South Shore League crown with a record of 7 wins, 0 defeats. Although the team was unable to sustain its un- scored upon record, the fact that we went unde- feated proves that we had another exceptional team. We were keenly aware of the loss of our goalie, Nancy Taylor, by graduation, especially since Mary Shanley, our only experienced candidate for that position, was injured in the first game and put out of action for the rest of the season. Linda Morrow, an eighth grader, was an answer to our prayers and well deserves congratulations for a terrific job. She saved us many a time. Our season opened October 6 to find us on our home field facing Pembroke. We were all keyed up and ready to go through another undefeated and unscored upon season when our goalie was injured on a play which sent the ball through the goal. This was the first goal scored against us since the 1951 season and it tended to dampen our spirits, but not for long. We were so busy boosting up Linda ' s spirits (it was Ifer first game) and piling up our score that we hadn ' t time to fret. Spirit and pep prevailed, and we defeated Pembroke with a score of 7 to 2. Competition was once again keen with- Scituate being our toughest rival. None of us will ever for- get that goal Scituate made in the first minute of the game. Were we astonished and scared! But we came back to defeat them 2 to 1 in a close and hard-fought game. This was the most memorable game of the season, for both Scituate and Marsh- field were undefeated at their meeting, and both were equally determined to capture the league title. 54 Our season ended with a final triumph over Kingston, but all was not joy in our locker room. Someone had remembered that five of us had just played our last M.H.S. hockey game. But we cheered up at the thought of ending our careers as champs. The five players who are graduating and the positions they are vacating are: Janet Ela, left half- back and co-captain; Jayne Nangle, right inner; Elsie Keene, right wing; Grace Jones, center half- back; and Judith Curren, defense. Although more than half the first team will not be returning next season. Coach Williams will have returning: Sandra Clark, left inner; Barbara Blass, left wing; Mary Ketchum, right halfback; Anne Hubbard, defense and Linda Morrow, goalie. Nancy Ela, center for- ward and co-captain, who moved to New Hampshire, will be greatly missed as will the senior players, but the underclassmen seem capable of producing a winning team. For its triumphal season, the team was awarded a plaque by the Boosters ' Club on which were en- graved the names of the first team players, manager, and coach and a trophy awarded in honor of Horace C. Keene by the Marshfield Kiwanis Club. All in all it was a wonderful and successful season. Best of luck to Coach Williams and next year ' s team in keeping that Championship in Marsh- field.

Since we were defending Champs, all the other league teams were out to defeat us. But hard as they tried they couldn ' t surpress us. When our first practice was called. Coach Wil- liams found that she had six returning letterman and a promising squad of under classmen. Returning from last season were Jayne Nangle, Bette Kelley, Betsy Anderson, Janet Ela, Judy Curren, Ann Hub- bard, and Mary Ketchum. Grace Jones and Judy Martinson were new members to the team this year, they certainly boosted our scoring record. Our season began with a triumph over the Alumni in a game which made us anxious to open our regu- lar season. Our first league game found us facing Hanover on our home court. We took the lead in the first quarter and held it throughout the game to win by a final score of 49-35. We were on our way! Our next three games with Duxbury, Pembroke, and Scituate were all easy wins and Coach Williams was able to substitute freely. It wasn ' t until our fifth game of the season that we met any competition. Then we went to Kingston, where we met a tough and high spirited team who fought vainly to defeat us. What a terrific game, thrilling and undecided up to the final buzzer! At the end of the first quarter we were on the What will I do next year??? losing end by one poir t, but we managed to grasp a three point lead at the half. Kingston came back in the first few minutes of the second half to tie the score, and from there it was a fight to the finish! There was joy in Marshfield that night when we emerged victorious! In mid-season we received new uniforms, but we weren ' t sure we wanted them. You see, we are a very superstitious lot, and since we had not lost with our old uniforms, we were not too anxious to shed them. The novelty and lustre of new suits finally went out, and when we defeated Hanover 56-39, our superstitions left us. Our games went by swiftly and we settled down to some serious practicing a few days before our second big encounter. We met Kingston on our home court and really went to town. When Kingston scored the first point, we became fighting mad, and not only tied the score, but never allowed them to retake the lead. The game was an exciting one, en- joyed by all the spectators. Our spirit and pep which had ushered us through an undefeated season 53-54 Record Marshfield 29 Alumni 20 Marshfield 49 Hanover 35 Marshfield 35 Duxbury 22 Marshfield 55 Pembroke 40 Marshfield 48 Scituate 31 Marshfield 27 Kingston 24 Marshfield 56 Hanover 39 Marshfield 54 Norwell 35 Marshfield 49 Cohasset 33 Marshfield 49 Norwell 23 Marshfield 63 Pembroke 38 Marshfield 64 Scituate 41 Marshfield 43 Duxbury 30 Marshfield 44 Cohasset 35 Marshfield 57 Kingston 33 Marshfield 722 Opponents 479 WON 15 LOST 0 suddenly left us when we were reminded that we had just played our last game. The locker room was unusually quiet— for once! The Boosters ' Club banquet, which honored both the girls ' and boys ' teams, brought our season to a close, but the best was yet to come. We were awarded a plaque on which the names of the team and coach were engraved. The most dramatic event of the evening came when we were awarded jackets by the Kiwanis Club. Were we proud of them! On -Aarch 19, our team was called upon to de- fend its championship and undefeated record. We were matched against the championship boys ' team (slightly handicapped by hip boots and boxing gloves) who thought that they could run circles around us. But we showed them by tying the score at 22 all! Jayne, Grace, Judy, Janet, Betsy, and Bette, the senior varsity members, wish the best of luck to Coach Williams and next year ' s team.

We rolled over Hanover, 75- 54, and Duxbury, 75-45, as we began to move to- ward our second straight championship. The next game was won easily over Norwell, but our fourth encounter brought forth a close call as we barely beat Pembroke, 42-37. On Tuesday, January 19, w e met Scituate on our own court in a game that really rocked the stands. The gym was packed and everyone was looking forward to a terrific game. The whistle blew and by the time the first half was over, Scituate was on top by one point. As the third period started we just couldn ' t click, and Scituate forged ahead by 10 points. In the closing minutes of the fourth quarter we staged an amazing comeback as we knotted the court at 46-46. With 3 seconds left Joe Roderick stole the ball and passed it to Ben Silva who drib- bled to the quarter court and let go with a desperate one-hand set. Up! Up! There goes the buzzer! SWISH ! ! ! After our nervewracking victory over Scituate, we almost gave a repeat performance as we barely beat Kingston by one point, 54-53. These two close ones made us push all the harder, and we beat Hanover, Cohasset, Norwell, and Pembroke easily. Our second Scituate game proved to be a heart- breaker as we lost our only league game by a score of 57-56. We won our last 3 games with Duxbury, Cohasset, and Kingston easily. Thus the South Shore league came to a close with a Co-Championship be- tween Marshfield and Scituate. In the defense of our South Shore Conference Championship we played Sumner High of Holbrook in the South Shore Tournament and were severely defeated by a score of 72-57. This dropped us from the tournament. What will do next year??? We were invited to the Tech Tourney and beat Chelmsford High 64-56 only to bow to Somerset High by 39 points. Somerset was an outstanding team, and they went on to win the Class C Cham- pionship. outli liore X eag. ue Marshfield 65 Alumni 58 Marshfield 75 Hanover 54 Marshfield 75 Duxbury 45 Marshfield 58 Norwell 48 Marshfield 42 Pembroke 37 Marshfield 48 Scituate 46 Marshfield 54 Kingston 53 Marshfield 61 Hanover 38 Marshfield 60 Cohasset 43 Marshfield 77 Norwell 53 Marshfield 65 Pembroke 49 Marshfield 56 Scituate 57 Scituate 57 Marshfield 56 Marshfield 59 Duxbury 51 Marshfield 70 Cohasset 59 Marshfield 71 Kingston 44 937 734 The season ended in fun for all with a game be- tween the girls ' and boys ' varsity, the boys being slightly handicapped (hip boots, and boxing gloves).

Peppy, lively, and always good for a ‘hearty Rah- Rah , they were the center of public interest through- out the year. Do you think their Woo-Woo cheer had anything to do with it? Or the way they had the boys jumping through hoops? Anyway, thanks to these girls who really knew how to exhort a roar and a cheer from the grandstand, our teams had plenty of support and backing wherever they played. Our cheering squad added and subtracted sever- al members this year. Janet Ela, Betsy Anderson, Grace Jones, Mary Ketchum, Barbara Blass, Nancy Ela, Sandra Clark— all returning from last season— and Laureen Sullivan, our last recruit, could be seen every Saturday shouting and waving a banner (green and white, of course) to cheer M.H.S. on to victory. They were evidently successful, judging from the football record. Nancy Ela, who left after Thanksgiving, was replaced by Betty Moran for our basketball season. When Betty moved in February, Mary Ann Sullivan became a cheerleader for the tournaments. You should have seen all the altera- tions that the poor uniforms were subjected to! The cheerleaders began the year in style as they designed new uniforms— green jumpers with white satin linings and green jackets with white piping for football and the jumpers over long sleeved white blouses for the basketball. What twirling and shrieks of delight when they were modeled! Songs, cheers, spirit, and pep galore accompanied our cheerleaders everywhere— as you would know if you rode on the team ' s bus. There was scarcely a chance to catch your breath after Cheer For Old Marshfield, when they were off again on You Take a Red Head From Marshfield High or All Moose Wants For Christmas Is His Two Front Teeth.

The 1953 softbaP season opened early in April with an enthusiastic group of girls out to do the impossible — capture all three league crowns in one year. We were so intent on this idea and still sailing on the glory of basketball season that our first team came upon us with a bang — a big bang. We met Hanover on April 29 and had our dreams shattered when they defeated us, 27-5. We were both stunned and sad to have given such a performance in our season ' s opener, but it really showed us what we were up against. We met Hanover on April 29 and had our pay off when we met Norwell the following week and defeated them, 23-10. But on May 4 we trav- eled to Pembroke and lost, 16-12. After that our victories began to mount up. In the Duxbury game, thanks to an eleven run rally in the fifth inning, we were victorious, 22-21. Our next two opponents, Cohasset and Scituate, were easier prey. In the Cohasset game we set our longest scoring rally — thirteen runs in the first inning while putting Cohas- set out one, two, three. On May 18, we defeated Kingston in our hard- est and best-played game of the season. It was really a terrific game. Excellent pitching and hit- ting by both teams kept the game in suspense all the way, only to have it end 9 all. The coaches decided to play off the tie. We entered the eighth inning, which was Judy Dupius ' inning all the way. She faced four batters, wa lked one and struck out three. As lead-off batter she hit a single, stole second, and third, and scored the winning run on a hit by Betsy Anderson. Thus the season ended in a three-way tie for the crown. The play-off for the tie began; Hanover defeated Kingston on our field and we played the winner on the Kingston field. This game with Hanover was a much better and harder game than our first meet- ing with them had been, but we did not quite have the pull — they defeated us, 16-12. Our lineup for the season was: Judy Dupuis and Anne Hubbard, pitchers; Sandra Clark, catcher; Nancy Ela, second base; Janet Ela, first base; Marcia Damon, third base; Mary Ketchum, shortstop; Jayne Nangle, Mary Sinnott, Grace Jones, and Betsy Anderson, outfielders. 933 f ecord This season our lineup will be changed very little. We will miss Judy ' s excellent pitching and Mary ' s and Marcia ' s hitting and fielding. The major- ity of our team will be returning and there are some underclassmen who are capable and enthusiastic.

The 1953 baseball season was very successful; the team won six league games and lost one, fin- ishing in second place in the South Shore League. Our lone setback was a 4 to 1 loss to Scituate in the opening game, while the Hanover game proved to be the most exciting of the year. A ninth-inning rally pulled the game out of the fire for us as we scored 7 runs and went on to win by a score of 12-n. The next game was with Cohasset and it was our first home game. We won 5-3 in a good contest with some excellent pitching being done by Don McAleer and Bob Habel. The Kingston game was sparked by the power-hitting of Joe Roderick and George Lantz as we won by a score of 5-1. Next came Pembroke and we won by a score of 29-5 behind the pitching of Dave Totten. The second team played a major role in that game. The Norwell game was our next victory as we rolled over them by a score of 7-1. Don McAleer did some fine pitching. In the final game, we beat Duxbury easily, 11-4. The starting line-up for the ' 53 season was: Charles Anderson, catcher; Donald McAleer, pitcher; David Totten, pitcher; Robert Habel, first base, pitch- er; Alan Sherman, second base; Joseph Roderick, third base; Peter Sinnott, shortstop; John Sullivan, field; George Lantz, field; Ronald Holmes, field; Steven Atwater, field. The 1954 lineup will be nearly the same except for the loss of Charles Anderson, Donald McAleer, George Lantz, and David Totten. We look forward to the 1954 season with high hopes. 1953 J ecot ' d Marshf eld 1 Scituate 4 Marshf eld 12 Hanover 11 Marshf eld 5 Cohasset 3 Marshf eld 5 Kingston 1 Marshf eld 29 Pembroke 5 Marshf eld 7 Norwell 1 Marshf eld 11 Duxbury 4 62 n u Often I think of the beautiful town That is seated by the sea; Often in thought go up and down The pleasant streets of that dear old town.
