Each phase of work guides and prepares us to surmount obstacles met in its adult community counterpart.

C ici56 . J idtor Who likes history anyway. Perhaps if histories were more like ours, people would be interested. From the time we entered Miss Peterson ' s room in September, 1949, till we left Miss Miller ' s room in June, 1955, we changed the course of history — Marshfield High School history, at least. We soon became accustomed to high school rules and red tope. Class officers were: President, Paul Lennon; Vice-president, John Sullivan; Secretary, Janet Austin, Historian, Nancy Elo; and Student Council Repre- sentative, Alison Livermore. Among the more significant recollections were Janet Austin ' s position os top salesman in the maga- zine drive and Mike Hansen ' s arrival. The next September, under Mrs. Ryder ' s guidance, we took on the responsibilities of eighth graders. Our class officers this year: President, Robert Henderson; Vice-president, Mary Ketchum; Secretary, Nancy Ela; Treasurer, Paul Lennon,- Historian, Jane Foote; Student Council, Alison Livermore; and Ticket Agent, Suzanne Trindall. The mid-year election results were the same except John Sullivan bcame ticket agent and Suzanne Trindall, Student Council Representative. Our first journalistic enterprise. The Tip Top Topper, edited by Mary Ketchum, was by all standards a best seller. Other fund-raising projects included a Hobby Show and that big social event of every eighth grade year, the May Dance. The following Monday we boarded Mr. Keene ' s bus and headed, full of excitement and anticipation, for a day ' s excursion to Boston. For most of us it was the first time we had toured the State House. Every- thing went along perfectly — lunch, shopping, and the inevitable ride on the swan boats — but then — I don ' t recall exactly how it happened — we lost Mrs. Ryder, only to find her waiting patiently on Boston Common. This was the year co-editor of The Tide, John Moran, joined our class. When we became freshmen, our education intensi- fied as some of us were faced with Latin and algebra while others coped with shop, world history, and gen- eral business. Mr. Scott was our class advisor, and those chosen to lead the class were President, John Sullivan; Vice-president, Peter Barry,- Secretary, Nancy Ela; Treasurer, Paul Lennon,- Historian, Jane Foote; Student Council Representative Mary Ketchum and Point System Representatives Alison Livermore and Calvin Bumpus. A new class member this year was David McMaster. Now the accumulation of money in the treasury seemed even more important; graduation was only four years away. Selling coke hod helped class treasurers in the past, so we decided to continue this venture at football games, basketball games, and class plays. October 26th, Mr. and Mrs. Scott and Mr. and Mrs. Romeo chaperoned our first record hop, the Harvest Hop Again we took part in the magazine drive with Nancy Dobson, Nancy Ela, and Fred Cushing as the leading salesmen. September, 1952, we moved down the corridor to Miss Ellard ' s room, all thirty-five of us. There were only two changes made when we elected the class officers. Peter Barry became President and Robert Henderson, Vice-president. Members of the athletic squads were especially proud of the accomplishments of Marshfield High School teams that year. Remember the Tech Tour- ney with sophomore John Sullivon on the squad? And sophomores Barbara Blass, Sandra Clark, Nancy Ela and Mary Ketchum cheering from the floor of the Boston Garden? Certainly the plaques, banners, and trophies as well as the excitement of those experiences added to the pleasant memories of our sophomore year. As a social function, the Winter Whirl, supported by class enthusiasm and the music of the Star- lighters, was a grand success. The decorations, fig- ures of skaters and skiers, are still a good source of amusement. Because the Student Council wanted to be oble to get under way early in the fall, it asked the classes to elect their representatives in the spiing of the preceding year. Mary Ketchum was again elected to represent the class. Eager to conquer United States History we en- tered our junior year. Room 1 1 was our homeroom and Mrs. Arnold, our advisor. Peter Barry was given the responsibility of con- ducting class meetings. John Sullivan, Vice-presi- dent, held the class in semi-order during Peter ' s absences. Nancy was elected to keep the minutes of our noisy and heated class meetings. Paul Len- non, who by this time should be a good malhemo- tician, was entrusted with our frenzied finances. Jane Foote kept the records of our history. During the year Nancy Ela moved to New Hamp- shire and Judy Martinson, a new oddition that fall, was elected class secretary. In the spring of the year two of our classmates received honorary appointments. Dovid McMaster was chosen by the faculty to attend Boys ' Stote ond Mary Ketchum went to Girls ' State. Last fall they gave enlightening reports of their weeks ' stoy at Amherst and Bridgewater where the conventions took place. Again this year, our class made a good showing on the various teams. Our one tragedy of the year came, however, when Bob Henderson fractured his ankle during football practice prior to the first game, sidelining him for the season. 24 Among our social events of the year were the Touchdown Twirl and that unforgettable play. Mother is a Freshman, starring Maureen Whelan and David McMaster. We shall never know how poor Mr. Holden survived!! After many heated discussions we ordered green and white pennants to be sold for seventy-five cents apiece. We were very self-satisfied when all of them had been sold and we could silence those numerous skeptics who said we would lose money. We even had to order more! ! We had hardly recuperated from the play when it was time to plan the Junior Prom, and then the biggest event of the whole year, the Senior Recep- tion. It was at this point that we first realized how quickly our senior year was approaching. September 8, 1954, at 8:20 A.M. the beii rang and thirty seniors seated themselves in Miss Miller ' s room ready to make a fresh and final start at high school. Little did we realize then just how rapidly this year would pass. Our major problem seemed to be planning for next year and college. The class officers remained the same with Nancy Ela returning to her position as class secretary. These positions carried with them the extra respon- sibilities which would come to a climax in June with our graduation. Immediately we decided to continue the publica- tion of The Tide. Miss Miller chose the staff early in the fall, giving to Jane Foote and John Moran, co- editors, the responsibility for coordinating our ideas. Our campaign for subscriptions seemed to forecast another successful venture. As treasurer, Nancy Blackman figured and reflgured our income. The financial responsibility for advertising was delegated to Mary Ketchum, as Business Manager; her per- suasive powers were tried to the utmost, but the final result can be seen on page 67 and following. Other money-making projects included our first whist party — and-an experience! Some found it profitable; others wished they had learned the game before they started to play. The Grace Chapel Community sponsored another evening of whist in March for our benefit. A record hop in February presided over by various seniors acting as disc jockeys was certainly a welcome diversion. Broadway has nothing over our production of Arsenic and Old Lace! I doubt if anyone in his right mind will ever take a glass of wine offered by Nancy Ela or Mary Ketchum. Ad libs were certainly an improvement over last year ' s. Then there was only silence; this year ! Thanks to Mr. Martinez, John Moran did look like Boris Karloff! As in previous years, we were well represented in sports. Sandra Clark cheered for her fourth year and Nancy Ela and Mary Ketchum, for their third. Next year ' s teams will undoubtedly feel the loss of those of our classmates who have enthusiastically contributed their talents to the various champion- ships which have come our way. Many seniors were honored at the football-field hockey banquet given to the two teams and cheer- leaders by the Boosters Club. We attended our last Boosters Club Banquet in March when the basketball Squads were feted. Will you ever forget the “enter- tainment ? Peter Barry was elected by the student body to be our Good Government Day Representative. An- other honor was accorded a member of our class when the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Award was pre- sented to Mary Ketchum upon nomination by the class and election by the faculty. Alison Livermore received the Bausch-Lomb Science Award because of her high grades in the sciences throughout four years. Seniors became an active force in the Student Council when Mary Ketchum was elected president, and Nancy Ela, girls ' sports representative, secre- tary-treasurer. Other senior members were Peter Barry, boys ' sports representative; Jane Foote, head monitor; Alison Livermore, point system representa- tive; and Judy Martinson, school treasurer. This year our school became a member of the National Honor Society. With Miss McBrien as the advisor the Marshfield chapter consisted of ten seniors as charter members: Nancy Blackman, Bar- bara Blass, Nancy Ela, Jane Foote, Mary Ketchum, Paul Lennon, Alison Livermore, Judith Martinson, David McMaster, and John Moran. Gerting things done at the last minute seems typical of our class, one occasion stands out quite cleariy in everyone ' s mind I am sure. That is the Senior Prom which vras held just two weeks after the play. We hadn ' t done any planning for decorations or hiring an orchestra. However, on the night of December 17, many high school students and alumni were dancing to Ken Reeves ' music in a Christmas setting. Tomorrow night three of our classmates will grad- uate with honors. They are Nancy Ela, Mary Ketchum and Alison Livermore. Although these three girls have been very active in extracurricular activities they have not forgotten the purpose of school and certainly have earned their positions. As graduation draws near we extend our sincere thanks to Miss Miller for all she has done for us especially for her help and guidance this past year. Another part of our history has been our faculty and the student body to whom we express our apprecia- tion for making our life here at school worthwhile. We leave M.H.S. now with the hope that these experiences of the past six years will profit us as individuals and those who will be affected by ouf lives. 25 ohn fl]otcin • rJ ivermore Wait jCiUif to S iicceeJ ivan O A ar ennon War.j J etcL„ - oL SJl ' i Eeit l ound Wko Jn ’55 jf opuiar Peter Sarri - llarij (etchiim - Janci £(a - Paiif rJ!t C (aS5 (irtd pauf rjCennon - Sandra Cdfark - —JdofLrooL fj I t o.ii( rJHennon - uclij lljarfin la55 L lt Son owns busiest r anc j Ua - m f JO I ora n ivermore d est Z)a icrrJ Vanc, €L - 2)aviJ WcWaster peter ' Barrii - ll]aru etcliiim . 5 ' icnclfiest erSon ara ' a r beau alvin iillii ' an ulltvan cia ’reAAei firsf Row: Sandra Clark, Calvin Bumpus, John Moran, Mary Kelchum, Poul Lennon, Nancy Ela, David McMasler, Maureen Whelan.

No thanks, not if it ' s offered by Nancy Ela and Mary Ketchum. Their experiences as Abby and Martha Brewster, in Arsenic and Old Lace provided them with a successful recipe for a lethal concoction, the effects of which have not yet worn off the audience of that December night. Abby, (Nancy Ela), and Martha, (Mary Ketchum) Brewster live with their nephew Teddy (Paul Lennon) who, for lack of anyone better, thinks he is Theodore Roosevelt. The stairs in the old-fashioned Brooklyn home are San Juan Hill, and Teddy always CHARGES ! Mortimer Brewster (David McMaster), a drama critic, and another nephew of the dear sweet old ladies, is in love with Elaine Harper (Maureen Whelan). Elaine ' s father. Reverend Harper (M ichael Hansen) doesn ' t approve of Mortimer, even though it is explained that Mortimer needs something big to criticize, something like the human race. Officers Brophy (Sandra Clark), and Klein (Patty Barbeau) are convinced that Abby and Martha are the sweetest little ladies on earth, but Mortimer finds that he can ' t share this opinion, especially when he finds out that his aunts have murdered twelve gentle- men, via elderberry wine, and have buried their bodies complete with full funeral serv- ices, down in Panama , the cellar. He arrives home just in time to save Mr. Gibbs (David Jackson) from his doom by preventing him from drinking the arsenic-spiked wine. Remember the screams in the audience? That was when Jonathan Brewster (John Moran), a double for Boris Karloff, and Dr. Einstein (Calvin Bumbus) came on stage. Jonathan had collected twelve bodies also, and at this point was disposing of the twelfth, when Officer O ' Hara (Barbara Blass ) came on the scene. Barbara brought down the house with her pot belly . When everybody realizes what the others have been doing, more police appear on the scene, Brophy, Klein, and Lt. Rooney (Janet Austin). Poor Mortimer, meanwhile, has been getting commitment papers to a sanatorium for Teddy, thinking he can protect Abby and Martha. The police take Jonathan away, and Mr. Witherspoon (Judy Martinson) the superin- tendent of Happy Dale , the sanatorium, is left with the aunts. Abby and Martha real- ize that he is a poor lost soul who should be sent on to everlasting rest— in short, their thirteenth victim ! The curtain closes just as Witherspoon is having his last glass of elder- berry wine. What if we did walk around with society circles under our eyes, and knocking knees, it was worth it ! Everyone out from backstage! Where ' s that bugle? — sound familar? Poor, long- suffering Miss Miller. Pity Jane Foote and Nancy Blackman as student directors; remem- ber how much they went through too. We ' ll never forget the shock of seeing John Moran ' s makeup, Patty ' s mustache, Nancy ' s and Mary ' s wigs, and after it was all over, wishing we could just go over some parts again. Remember that wonderful dinner we had for the play cast— still unpaid for, we understand! Just what went on in the kitchen, Judy, Janet, and Barbara?— Out with it ! Was Judy really a cook last summer? Well, why did the potatoes taste . . . Truly, we ' ll never forget Friday, December 3, 1955, one of the memorable days of our Senior year. We, the members of the Class of 1955 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 lost Will and Testament. W 2 desire to benefit those who follow us by leaving to them os much of ourselves os is possible; therefore, we do solemnly moke the following bequests; To the Seventh grade we leave any dried apricots on the floors, walls, and ceilings of the old South School.

To Mr. Holden we leave a class with a better memory. To Mr. Cowgill we leave a new sextet for next year ' s glee club. To Miss Miller we can only leave encouragement for another trip to Europe! To Mr. Cingolani we leave an autographed picture of the Couse . John Allen leaves with tears of joy in his eyes. Janet Austin leaves a first aid kit to next year ' s senior girls to take care of Daniel while she isn ' t around. Patricia Barbeau leaves her clothes to Sheila Coughlin. Just a few adjustments and you ' ll be all set. Peter Barry leaves his Bermuda shorts and knee socks to Jim Fitz- patrick. On you they ' ll look real cool. Nancy Blackman leaves, and takes along her dreams of sailing around the world in her home-made yacht. Don ' t let the sailors give you a line, Nance. Barbara Blass leaves a thumb tack on her seat in Miss Miller ' s room to Patty French. Here ' s hoping you get the point of your senior year. Irene Bowering leaves her absentee slips to Steve Atwater. Why don ' t you try skipping school just once, Steve? After all, the girls can get along without you for one day. Calvin Bumpus leaves the Junior Class and that ' s the Long of it. Sandra Clark leaves, minus her telescopic eyes. They con ' t be used at college, Sandra. Joan Curran leaves her long hair to Jimmy Tingley. Too bad to waste curls on a wiffle. Nancy Dobson leaves her recipes for home-cooked meals to Nancy Hobbs. Easy does it, Nancy. Nancy Ela leaves her membership card to the Brockton Ski Club to anyone wants an A in either English or French. 32 Victor Enright leaves his long curly eyelashes to Kevin Murphy to sweep up the broken hearts he leaves behind. Jane Foote leaves a book entitled Sundaes Without Cherries and Caron. It will add to your sophistication, Rodney. Robert Henderson leaves his holy clothes as a warning to the next Chemistry class. Beware! way of keeping it in the family, Ron. David Jackson leaves his white shirts and neckties to Bob Callahan. Neatness pays off, even at the First National. Mary Ketchum leaves her ability to get along with people to Fred Heap. It ' s an attribute one can acquire with very little effort. Paul Lennon leaves his faithful Ford to Connor ' s Junk Yard. Don ' t feel bad if they won ' t accept it, Paul. Alison Livermore leaves her versatility in extra-curricular activities to Anne Hubbard. VYith your head start, Anne, activities and studies should present no problems. Judith Mortinson leaves, accompanied by her jokes. Who could stand them another year? David McMaster leaves his cradle-robbing techniques to next year ' s senior boys. Take full advantage; it will be later than you think. Paul Meede leaves his contempt for problems to Dick Kent. Paul says its a snap with ear plugs. John Moran leaves his wiry cowlick to Mr. Blockington. Have you tried airplane cement, Mr. Blackington? Sally Moses leaves her variety in hair styles to Rachel Gallant. Maybe next fall you could fool us on your identity, Rachel. John Sullivan leaves his reserved manner to Buzzy Quinn. Children are heard and not seen in your case, Buzzy. Maureen Whelan leaves her ad lib in Arsenic and Old Lace to Pam Sherman. It ' s not so hard, Pam-the audience thought it was all in the act. The foregoing instrument was in our presence signed and sealed by the said Class of ' 55 at the end thereof, and by them published and declared as and for their last Will and Testament, and at their re- quest and in their presence and of one another, we hereunto sub- scribe our names as attesting witnesses at Marshfield, Massachusetts, on March 18, 1955. Suffer to Kathleen Long. Follow this book ' s advice and you ' ll soon be known as Slim. June Ford leaves her spit curls to Mary Shanley. You can try anything once, Mary. Michael Hansen leaves his silk scarf and 79 cent pipe to Rodney Guy Holbrook leaves his early morning hours to John Ulanowski. Guy says there isn ' t half as much fun in sleeping as there is in night life. Ronald Holmes leaves his blond, curly hair to Kenny Blass. That ' s one Executed at Marshfield, Massachusetts, March 18, 1955 33 cu p. ropliecu net n anc I Paul X ennon ' Tis dank and dark, the year 2005, In the, satellite city Marshfield, let ' s see what ' s alive. Russia ' s in control, ' tis alarming but true. Don ' t laugh now, this could happen to you. Big Brother, is watching you, the signs all say. It seems we ' re just puppets, is this our last day? Look over there, see? A light! Faint ' tis true, but seen in the night. Listen . . . there ' s laughter and cheer. What, really? In this land of fear. Who dares to be happy. Big Brother said no. ( It sounds like fun, come on kids, let ' s go. That ' s the class of ' 55 they ' re holding their reunion. Nothing could stop them, much less the Soviet Union. Look! There ' s President Barry, in charge of the place. He ' s the Soviet Union ' s most famo us jet ace. He zooms around in a big White jet. He ' ll break the Stakhanovite records, we bet. Ronnie Holmes, Barry ' s first jet mechanic. On account of his family causes a panic. Barb ' s the mother of three Soviet commissars. They all drive shiny new Holmesmobile cars.

He feeds the chickens, bathes them too, I Tell me, is there anything this boy can ' t do? Stewardesses Whelan and Bowering, of the Russian Line, Were sitting in the corner, discussing events in TIME. World events, in Problems, they discovered they had missed. They, must now catch up, or else be dismissed. That ' s the penalty for being silent, for a fact. Just now the topic was a Russo-American pact. Professor Livermore, just back from Tibet, Was arguing with Jane Foote, whom she had just met. The subject at hand was career versus home. Traveler Livey declared, Nevertheless, I shall roam. j Jane is content, she tutors four boys, ! Tell me Jane, how do you stand the noise? Beautician Sally Moses was fixing Joan Curran ' s hair. She rivals Charles of the Ritz, she really has a flair. The Russian ' s are out to get her, they demand crew cuts, Sally ' s for long hair, no ifs, ands, or buts! Joan quite agrees, her hair is a golden crown. Evidently, so far, Sally hasn ' t let her down. In Joan ' s job as a model, for Pravda ' s ads. She finds itnecessary to keep up with the fads. Muscle Man Holbrook, of the Russian Red Wings, Flashed by on skates, he had no time for such things. The game was more important, it was taking place that nigh You can always count on Guy, it ' s truly said, for a fight. Nancy Dobson, Soviet homemaker renown, appeared in the door. Granted her home is spick and span, but Nance says it ' s a bore. I yearn for the adventurous life, discontentedly says she, Between you and me, and Big Brother, life isn ' t what it ' s cracked up to be. Peppy Sandra Clark came bouncing in the room. She asked were there any spies here, if there were it would be our doom. Sandy ' s so terribly sick of having to be quiet. What ' s say we all try to start a little riot? Poised, dignified Patty Barbeau came gliding across the floor. She told Sandra it wasn ' t hard to be quiet, to try just a little more. Patty has been taking courses, she told us, in How to Write a Good Letter, And now she ' s writing a book called. The Female Sex is Better. Just then a sharp knock was heard at the door of the hall. It is the though police, hide quickly, one and all! We had forgotten life was miserable, in this horrid land of fear. Quickly, if you know what ' s good for you, hide here! The knock came again, plus Hey let me in! It ' s Judy Martinson, someone shouts, above the din. Judy ' s the head of the Russian Athletic Corps, A slave driver we hear, yelling, In pushups, tummies off the floor. Imagine the relief, when Judy says to knock off. All the women can manage is tubercular cough! Sauntering through the hall, came Rebel June Ford. 34 We hear they ' re banning green ' 50 Olds, she ' ll really be bored! Really, this land, is awful, it isn ' t any fun. Pretty soon they ' ll pass a law, saying you can ' t even run! It could be worse, June tells us, but we don ' t know how. All we ' re able to utter is a feeble Holy Cowl The Russian sharp-eyed wizard delight. Proved to be famous Victor Enright. His long sweeping eyelashes are gone forever.

Allen and Jackson control the place, Dave ' s head meat cutter of our race. As we all assembled in the gym. We were quite surprised to see who came in; Marshfield ' s fwo coaches, Sullivan and Ela, Sully ' s teams are always the leader. Under the power of the Russian regime. Boys and girls both have a winning team. Miss Ela is apparently a coach of renown. Her girls seem to win every imaginable crown. Janet Austin is a coach herself. And has many frophies on the shelf. Her five blond sons, all six feet tall. Are all high scorers of pro-basketball. Mary Ketchum was next to come in. She ' s a famous model, tall and thin. You could never tell the Russian ' s controlled. By the way we all laughed at the stories she told. A newspaperman came to cover the reunion. It ' s Cal Bumpus, head newsman of the Soviet Union. Cal ' s also leader of the Rock and Roll Band , Starring Moran and MaMaster, that breeze is fanned. In his spare time, John ' s professor at Rusky Tech, We wonder if chemistry ' s still a pain in the neck. In the band, John forgets ions, formulas and such. To tell the truth, we don ' t remember much.. Dave, discontent with the saxophone now. Plays lustily on the bazooka now. Dave maintains that each note is a jewel. The rest of us think that it ' s just plain cruel. Mike Hansen in the corner has changed a great deal. No longer so argumentative is the way he seems to feel. When quizzed about Communism, he ' s still full of contempt, | But, may wonders never cease, his answers are perempt. ' Paul Meede, sitting quietly, reads a book by Bulganinbound. Don ' t let his quietness fool you; he ' s the leader of our underground. He shows a lot of fortitude, courage, bravery, and daring-do, | A minute ago he jumped behind Miss Miller, and loudly said, | Boo! Yes, Miss Miller ' s here to guide us for our task at hand. You see, revolution is being plotted by our hardy band. No longer are we content with petitions and such. From experience we discovered they ' re no good, well not iTiuch. Yes, we said revolution, and we ' re just the ones to do it. With our brains plus brawn, won ' t those leaders ever rue it. Our plan is to sneak in at night, and take Big Brother by force. For the things he ' s done to us in the past, he ' ll surely feel remorse. Let ' s do it tonight, it ' s dark enough out. Let Sandra, always in character, give him a clout. We ' ll bring him here, make him pay for his deed. Go quietly, softly, let no disaster impede. Furtively we begin to sneak from the door. Someone ' s there, it ' s Big Brother, why ' s he staring at the floor? Is that a tear that we detect, running down his vest? Look, believe it or not, there ' s a heave of his mighty chest! Silence, he ' s going to speak, what will he say? Are his soldiers going to shoot us, will we ever see light of day? Class of ' 55, your attention please. I want to be one of you. I ' ll beg on my knees! You have the proper spirit; you know just how to live. I ' ll atone for my errors: find it in your hearts to forgive. Honestly, you ' ve made me see the light. Give me a chance. I ' ll be good with all my might. Let ' s have a class meeting, yes, take a vote. Well, President Barry, take off your tie and coat. This promises to be a rough meeting, see what ' s at stake. Consider the problem heavily, for goodness sake! Those in favor. Aye! Opposed, not a nay! Thank heaven, sighed Big Brother, this is my lucky day! From now on I promise to follow like an arrow. The road that ' s known as the straight and narrow. 35 Let ' s hove a party to celebrate the win, Bring on the food, yelled Ketch, welcome Brother in! The reunion ended happily, which oil just goes to show. Good triumphs over evil in the end, the class against the foe. Our apologies go to George Orwell, of 1984. We ' re sorry George, if we offended you on that score. Please don ' t take us too seriously, it ' s oil been in fun. And you must excuse us now, but we really hove to run. We hope you ' ve oil enjoyed our little jest. You see, like our class, everything turns out for the best. cLooi JiL cincins Isf row: Sue Gonsalves, Anna Hubbard, Joan Hayes, Carol Wells. 2nd row; Mr. Holden, Michael Bissell, Douglas Cohee, Vaughn Hall, Robert Jones, Douglas Wicher, Harry Pratt. 1st row; Sue Gonsalves, Anna Hubbord, Miss Reardon, Rachel Gallant, Eileen Ford, Marshall Delano. 2nd row.- Vaughn Holl, Mr. Blackington. iimoi Cyra to § tea (Contest The underclassmen have reached the stage of construction when the fragments of their existence begin to take on an orderly appearance.

After taking count of the 45 noses, he sent us on our way to new courses - history, chemis- try, bookkeeping - and new teachers - Mr. Blacking- ton, Miss McBrien, Mr. Cowgill, Miss Miller. We fell into the pattern of a regular routine after a few dis- ciplinary actions to slow down our race to lunch. Despite the kibitzing of Buzzy Quinn and Dan Anderson, Steve Atwater presided over some success- ful class meetings. The Soda Pop Hop, our No- vember dance, was a social and financial success, leading to a few unorganized parties to consume the left-over refreshments. The shining face of David Barbeau was missed by the whole class when he was stricken with polio and hospitalized until February. We gave him a gift at of 1956 Christmas with our wishes for his rapid recovery. Dave ' s remarkable spirit was undaunted by a seem- ingly insurmountable tragedy; when the going gets rough, we can all do well to follow his excellent example. A new challenge to our intellectual curiosity ap- peared in the form of Mr. Blackington as he led us through many stimulating and fiery debates in U. S. history. Even in the field of chemistry we held our own as we came in for our share of pfaise (?)... praise over the senior chem class! Continuing the athletic triumphs of the past, many juniors moved into key positions on the girls ' and boys ' teams. We are looking forward to the day when, as seniors, we will assume the leadership of MHS teams and other victorious seasons. The Junior Prom, the first formal of the spring, paved the way socially for the climax of our junior year, the Senior Reception. It was on that June night suddenly realized our carefree days were over; the responsibilities of senior year approached in spite of the barrage of final exams. 1st row: Anne Hubbard Steve Atwoter Robert Jones 2nd row.- Pomelo Shermon Rachel Gallant James Murphy Mr. Holden Secretory President Vice-Rresidenf Treosurer Historian Student Council Advisor 1st row: Joan Long, Rachel Gallant, Eileen Ford, Pamela Sherman, Steven Atwater. 2nd • ' ow: Anna Hubbard, Priscilla Price, Malin Foote, Carol Hallowell. 3rd row: Marshall Delano, Vauqhn Hall, Robert Jones, (missing) James Murphy.

PLOT We Shook the Family Tree is the story of the Dolsons, on average family and their daughter, Hil- degarde, (Pamela Sherman), whose vivid imagination often leads her into mischief. Freddy (Steve Atwater), a perfectly nice boy except for the fact that his mother makes him wear knickers, is Hildegarde ' s date for the Junior-Senior Prom. Paige, (Malin Foote), Hildegarde ' s little sister, adds to the confusion by delivering some embarrassing love letters to the neighbors while playing postman. Bob ' s (Vaughn Hall) date — Ellie-May, (Rachel Gallant) who tries to look more sophisticated than she is, finds it very amusing to discover that Hildegarde ' s date is short pants Freddy . Freddy takes drastic steps: begging, borrowing, and stealing! He pilfers his father ' s desk to take a watch to buy a suit with long trousers, thus hoping to make a hit with Hildegarde. In the meantime, Mr. and Mrs. Shermer, convinced that it was Hildegarde who broke into their house, storm into the Dolson home with many untrue accu- sations. Hildegarde ' s only alibi was that she can ' t remember them. Freddy ' s dashing appearance saves the day and makes parents realize they have a grown-up son, not mama ' s little boy. Mr. Shermer (Jimmy Murphy) Mr. Dolson ' s boss, suddenly realizes that Freddy, not Hildegarde, is re- sponsible for the robbery, and hastens to make a- mends. If you can believe what you hear, the play was a big success; at least they are still laughling about Steve and his short pants! !

Cia;ii of 1957 This was the year the Class of ' 57 found itself the helpless victim of what is known as the Sophomore Slump. We subtracted and then added a half dozen members and still came out with a very large class, but we try as we might we could accomplish nothing earth-shattering or of great historical note. This was partly due to the fact that there were no class meet- ings except a very loud one for the elections of of- ficers in September. Our officers were unchanged. We did encounter that glorious subject French, and Mr. Reed ' s interesting discussions of the di- gestive system and, of course, geometry! The size of the first honor roll dwindled quite suddenly as the first report cards came out, but we could always be sure of the Carols-Stengel and Wells-to hold onto the last shreds of dignity. Bobbie Ela, who returned from New Hampshire, and Janice Curren were our chief representatives on the girls ' athletic squads. The class was also well re- presented on the cheerleading squad by Madeline Foote and Sheila Coughlin. Kevin Murphy, Mike Bis- sell, and Stu Carlton earned a respected status on the boys ' teams. We feel confident that in spite of our Sophomore Slump, M. H. S. will see great things from us in the next two years. 1st row: Michael Bissell, Vice-President; Kevin Murphy, President; Stuart Carlton, Treosurer. 2nd row: Miss Ellard, Advisor; Janice Curren, Historian; Mary Ann Sullivan, Student Council; Linda Clapp, Secretory.

We finally selected the music room. Our class meetings could hardly be called examples of parlimenary proceedure! One of our money-making projects was our Coke concession, a most successful enterprise. Then we held a Barn Dance on October 9th, which was a success, socially and financially. Our athletic abilities were proven with many fresh- men on the football, hocky, and basketball teams. Those of us taking Latin for the first time dis- covered something new and very different. Does one decline verbs or conjugate nouns, or just what? Eunice Costello, Janet Hagar, Carolyn Moulton, Jean Van Amringe, Eileen McGuire, and Linda Par- ker were our classmates on the First Honor Roll. Under the able direction of Mr. Scott and our class officers, our freshman year was a great success in spite of our struggles with algebra, Latin, and the upperclassmen!

Student (dc ounci cerS President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Mary Ketchum James Murphy Nancy Ela The Marshfield High School Student Council pro- vides a connection between the faculty and the students. There are eleven members representing the student body. Six are class representatives, elected by the individual classes. They are Mary Ketchum, senior; James Murphy, junior; Mary Ann Sullivan, sophomore; Ross Ketchum, freshman; Jane Allen, eighth grade and Robert Stengel, seventh grade. One boy and one girl are chosen by the lettermen to represent the sports organizations. Nancy Ela and Peter Barry were chosen this year. Head of the point system is Alison Livermore; head monitor, Jane Foote; and the school treasurer, Judy Martinson. Mr. Scott is our faculty advisor. The Student Council conducts pep rallies and sponsors record hops. They also provide assemblies; one of the best was the one given by the Boston Museum of Science. Spooky, the owl, was the hit of the day. In addition to these activities, the Council dis- cussed plans concerning a new set of tardy rules, and we made a survey of surrounding schools ' rulings on the subject. The candidates for Good Government Day were Mary Ketchum and Peter Barry, chosen by the Coun- cil. The students ' final choice was Peter Barry. This year our student Council became a member of the Massachusetts Association of Student Councils. Seven representatives attended the convention at Stoughton in the fall, and we were also represented at the spring convention held in Hingham. Finally, through the efforts of the Student Council and Miss McBrien, Marshfield now has a chapter of the National Honor Society.

As its membership has increased, its objective has become that of raising the level of education in American secondary schools and of aiding promising students with financial dif- ficulties throughout their college years. The National Honor Society has in less than fifty years become a world-wide organization, having 6,000 chapters in the United States and chapters in numerous foreign countries. To be eligible for membership in the National Honor Society, a student must be in his last two years of high school and have maintained a scholastic average of eighty-five or better throughout his high school years. Mr. Romeo and a committee of the faculty chose ten seniors and six juniors to be the charter members of the Marshfield Chapter of the National Honor Society. These students were chosen not only for their scholastic ability, but also for their qualities of leader- ship, service, and character. It will be their duty to promote better education in Marshfield and to main- tain the good standards of our school. They will sponsor activities of service to M. H. S., both during their high school years and when they are alumni. Miss McBrien, an active member of the National Honor Society, was chosen advisor of the new chap- ter, members of which include: seniors — Nancy Blackman, Barbara Blass, Nancy Ela, Jane Foote, Mary Ketchum, Paul Lennon, Alison Livermore, Judy Martinson, David McMaster, John Moran; and juniors — Steven Atwater, Rachel Gallant, Anna Hubbard, Anne Hubbard, Robert Jones, and James Murphy. The formal initi ation of the senior members was held at the Marshfield High School Auditorium on March 21 and was witnessed by students, faculty, and townspeople. The members of the Pembroke Chapter, their faculty advisor, and Pembroke princi- pal Lloyd Creighton welcomed the Marshfield mem- bers into the National Honor Society. For their help in getting the Chapter under way we extend to them our sincerest thanks. The senior members then held elections, the results of which were: President, Alison Livermore; Vice- president, John Moran; and Secretary, Barbara Blass. Their first duty was to initiate the six juniors which they did at an assembly during the spring. WaJrfieiJ QL CU. The Glee Clubs of Marshfield High School under the direction of Mr. Burton O. Cowgill, ore divided into two groups, the Freshman Glee Club and the Senior Glee Club. The former holds forth in the Music Room Thursdays, first period, and the latter storms it Monday and Wednesday, first period. In November, we gave a Thanksgiving Program consisting of Let All Things Now Living, a Welsh melody, and Cornin ' Through The Rye. At Christmas, we sang the Christmas Story by Richard Kountz, to the P.T.A. Those red sashes were rather dashing, weren ' t they, boys? We also gave this Christmas Program to our scoolmates in a general assembly, and it was very well received. Remember those tape recordings? Didn ' t sound like us, did it? The Spring Concert we gave May 6th in con- junction with the band was well-attended. On the program were: The Green Cathedral Carl Hahn Deaf Old Woman Missouri Folk Song (Katherine K. Davis) Cuckoo Cries Moller-Ridge Let All Things Now Living Traditional Welsh Melody Whoopee Ti Yi Yo American Cowboy Song The Happy Wanderer Moller-Ridge We have since been preparing the music for grad- uation.

Senior CL CU Mr. Burton O. Cowgill, the new director of the Marshfield High School Glee Clubs and the MHS band, is a graduate of the College of Music, Boston Uni- versity, with a Bachelor of Music degree. He came to Marshfield this year after two years as music supervisor in Peter- borough, New Hampshire. Joan Hayes, Carol Stengel, and Diana Curren have been our long-suffering accompanists, for which they deserve the Croix de Guerre, and pin one on Mr. Cowgill while you are at it, he certainly deserves one too! We have enjoyed our musical se- lections very much this year, and when the altos dis- covered their swing part in Cornin ' Through the Rye, a Fred Waring arrangement, they were almost carried away with themselves. There has been a very marked increase of en- thusiasm for vocal music in the high school. We hope this attitude continues, as the value of the Glee Club increases as our interest in it does. It is certainly encouraging to see more boys joining Glee Club, and we are sure that they will influence other boys to do the same, thus making a bigger and better Glee Club for next year. We have enjoyed it very much, and we appreciate Mr. Cowgill ' s efforts to make a good Glee Club out of us. reAli feAhnian QL CU Firsf Row: Judith Hynes, Diana Curren, Deborah Anderson, Eunice Costello, Jane Stephens, Kathe AAcNitt, Mary Keene, Pat- ricia Johnson, Linda Parker, Pricilla Bryant, Barbara Dobson.

S. anJ This year when the band assembled for its first practice, we realized that we were minus several of our first chair players, and we were facing an ' x ' quantity, a new bandmaster named Mr. Cowgill. Soon, however, the forty-three remaining members warmed up their instuments and we started playing new music. To Look Sharp, arranged by the Boston Pops Orchestra, was our first venture, and then we played selections varying from Bach to modern Jazz. Pomp and Circumstance and the War March of the Priests also echoed through the halls of MHS during mid-year exams, as the band was practicing grad- uation music. During the autumn, besides our usual pep rallies, we were priviliged to play at the Armistice Day ob- servonces and for the opening of the new Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall, an event synonymous with much fun and good food. This year we were again represented at the SEMSBA annual concert by Michael Bissell and Joseph Cunning. Others were selected to play but had to forego the honor of playing this year due to small seating space. Our spring concert, held in conjunction with the Glee Club, was suprisingly well-attended. We are looking forward to an even better one in 1956. As the days grew warmer, Mr. Cowgill ' s Drill Team could be seen out practicing marching in pre- paration for Memorial Day and for next fall ' s foot- ball season. May 14 found us on our way to Mansfield to play in the annual Southeastern Massachusetts School Band Festival. We did very well, and all of us had a wonderful time. We stayed and participated in the mass band late in the afternoon. We bought a new baritone, and the drum major- ettes made themselves new uniforms. Next year we hope to add an oboe to the collection of school in- struments. Graduation took Mary Ketchum and Judy Mar- tinson, trumpeters; Sandra Clark, saxophonist; Alison Livermore, clarinetist; Nancy Ela, trombonist; and Patty Barbeau, French horn player. But as there are many Jr. High students studying this year the vacancies will soon be filled. !1 1  I MWW— First row: Nancy Dobson, Irene Bowering, Maureen Whelan, Jane Foofe, Judith Martinson, Janet Austin, Patricia Barbeau, Sandra Clark.

This year Coach Anderson greeted 54 enthusiastic boys as candidates for the football team. We were in a rebuilding year, having only two first team mem- bers from last year and eight lettermen. Not much was expected of us, but we surprised everybody by finishing the season with a record of five wins and three losses. In the first game of the season, we overpowered Howard High of West Bridgewater, 18-0. Dick Kent scored two touchdowns, and Steve Atwater passed to Dave McMaster for the third. We were knocked out of the winning column by Yarmouth to the tune of 20-0. Smarting after this loss, we walloped Holbrook, 46-6. Dick Kent, Bob Hender- son, Stu Carlton, and Jim Tingley played, scoring one or more touchdowns apiece. The important game with Scituate was next. Trail- ing 20-0 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, we exploded and scored 19 points. But this was not enough, and we lost 27-19. Steve Atwater ' s passing was one of the bright spots of the game. We beat Randolph 13-0 and Cohasset 38-7, our center John Sullivan starring in both games, recover- ing a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown in the Randolph game and intercepting a pass for another in the Cohasset game. We were defeated by Bourne, 13-0, in a hard fought contest. The Thanksgiving game with Hanover was next. It was nip and tuck all the way until the third quarter when co-captain John Sullivan inter- cepted a pass and brought it down to the 20. Two plays later, Steve Atwater hit Dave McMaster with a flat pass, and he went over for the touchdown. The same pair combined for the extra point, and we held Hanover in the last quarter to win, 7-0. Three of our players made the Quincy Patriot Ledger All-Scholastic South Shore Team for 1954. They were co-captain Peter Barry, co-captain John Sullivan, and Dick Kent. At the Boosters ' Club ban- quet, junior and senior lettermen were awarded jack- ets, and trophies were awarded to Dave McMaster and Bob Henderson for being the most improved players.

S. field hockey season of 1954 started with a squad of 69 girls reporting for practice. This was one of the finest showings since field hockey has been played at Marshfield. The following girls filled first team positions: goalie, Linda Morrow, defense, Janice Curren and Pat Fernandes; half-backs. Co-captain Mary Ketchum, Bobbie Ela, and Anne Hubbard, left wing, Jane Stephens and Carol Jackson; left inner, Sandra Clark; center. Co-captain Nancy Ela; right inner, Pam Sher- man; and right wing, Rachel Gallant and Eileen Ford. Our first game was with Pembroke, a much im- proved team. The contest was very exciting and close, as the tie score of 1-1 proved. Mary Ketchum made our one goal. After tying the Pembroke game, the team went on to defeat Norwell and Cohasset by similar scores of 3-0, with scoring honors going to Nancy, Sandra, and Pam. Our next encounter was with Hanover, one of our hardest games. The result was a much-needed vic- tory, as Scituate and Pembroke were both still un- defeated. Kingston was the victim of Sandra Clark, who scored five goals to make it an easy win. The score was 5-0 ! ! With the Scituate game approaching, Mrs. Wil- liams scheduled a practice game with Plymouth. With one goal by Pam and two by Nancy making the score 3-0, Marshfield was still undefeated. In the meantime, Pembroke defeated Scituate, 1-0; Scituate was out to get Marshfield. We were not beaten but were held to a tie. This gave Pembroke the champion- ship, which they really deserved. The team, however, made up for the tie by win- ning the last game against Duxbury by a score of 5-0. It was a very successful season with 6 wins, 2 ties, and no losses. Once again the Marshfield hockey team has extended its winning streak. We have not lost a game since the middle of the 1951 season. The second team also did well and, at the same time, acquired much experience. They had 2 wins, 4 ties, and 1 loss.

This certainly was this year ' s most popular cheer!! We started the cheering season off with a bang. In the first game, first cheer, Mary Ann Sullivan turned a cartwheel which kept her from turning any more for the rest of the season. Sheila Coughlin and Madeline Foote began alternating as Mary Ann ' s replacement. Lucky we had two small candidates. Captain Mary Ketchum, Sandra Clark, Nancy Ela, and Laureen Sullivan were Old Faithfuls while Pat Coughlin, Joan Long and Phyllis Opelski joined the group. From the first-rate bulletin board to a disappoint- ing rainy night for the Thanksgiving Pep Rally, the cheerleaders had their work cut out for them. The muddy kneesocks at the Thanksgiving game helped push the boys to victory! New cheers, songs, bowties (?), and garters (?) opened the basketball season. The cheerleaders had plenty of support from the teachers on all the cheers, especially Tally-Ho and Tin Can. In spite of the band and those cowbells, the cheerleaders could still be heard throughout the crowd. The bus rides to and from the away games proved just the right test for new and peppy songs. The team claims the cheerleaders need a few singing lessons; but when the familiar lines of Cheer for Old Marsh- field rang out, there were no complaints. With the addition of many new basketball cheers the season concluded with Mary, Sandra, and Nancy cheering their last cheer, Fight Team Fight . 1st row; Linda Morrow, Virginia Grotto, Rachel Gallant, Jane Stephens, Sue Gonsalves. 2nd row; Anne Hubbard, Patricia Coughlin, Carol Jackson, Nancy Blackman, Nancy Ela, Judith Martinson, Janet Austin, Mary Ketchum, Laureen Sullivan, Eileen Ford. 3rd row; Manager Alison Livermore, Barbara Ela, Priscilla Price, Pamela Sherman, Janice Curren, Carol Seaberg, Susan Droke, Ann Hansen, Wendy Damon, Joan Hayes, Coach Williams. 4th row; Kathe McNitt, Eunice Costello, Judith Rogers, Helen Callahan, Margaret Linsky, Susan K.

Coach Williams was able to substitute freely and we won, 43 to 31. Next we journeyed to Duxbury, where we romped to a 76-30 win. Our next game, at Norwell, was much more difficult. The first quarter score was 15-11 in favor of Norwell; at the half, we were still behind 231 7. The third quarter buzzer showed 36-32, but in the final quarter we managed to click and squeeze by with a free throw which ended the game by a slim 50-49 margin. The next five games with Pembroke, Scituate, Kingston, Hanover, and Cohasset were fairly easy wins, and again Coach Williams was able to sub- stitute extensively. Strangely enough, our return game with Norwell turned out to be easy due, we think, to the stiff practices we had before this game. The score was 64 to 32. After our next game with Pembroke which was a fairly easy 64-50 win, we settled down for some intensive practice prior to meeting the high spirited Scituate team. Our hilarious but tough practice on the chairs gave us an inkling of what to expect of the statu- esque forward. We felt like Lilliputians on a Gulliver- like floor, and the size of the Scituate forwards The Marshfield High girls ' basketball team finished the season as co-champions of the South Shore League, with a record of fourteen wins and one loss. Since we were defending champs, all of the League teams were out to defeat us. On the first day of practice, four lettermen plus a promising group of underclassmen reported to Coach Williams. Returning from last season were Mary Ketchum, Janet Austin, Judy Martinson, and Anne Hubbard. Nancy Ela, a welcome addition, re- turned after a year in Peterboro, New Hampshire. The 1954-55 season began with a victory over the Alumnae which made us eager to start the regular season ' s schedule. We were playing many of the members of last year ' s championship team including high scorer Jayne Nangle. Our first League game did little to calm our fears. Scituate had the first and third throw-ins, they wasted little time in taking a big lead. At the end of the first quarter we were far behind by a score of 14-2. At the half we trailed by ten points, and those oranges surely tasted good! We held down the score in the third period to a ten point difference. In the fourth quarter we re- turned, bound and determined to stage a comeback. Unfortunately the cards weren ' t right, and we ended our thirty-three game winning streak. The aggressive guards and the clicking forwards did manage to hold the Scituate forwards down and outscore them 21-10 in the fourth quarter. However, it was a dis- appointed team that left Scituate that afternoon. After this one point defeat, we wanted more than ever to win the rest of our games and end the season as co-champs with the possibility of having a play- off. Our remaining games with Duxbury, Cohasset, and Kingston were all easy. As we were unable to have a play-off, we finished the 54-55 season as co- champions of the South Shore League with Scituate. On March 14, we were honored with a Booster ' s Banquet, at which all senior girls gave short, sucess- ful speeches. Twelve girls received the traditional green blazers from the Booster ' s Club. They were: seniors Judy Martinson, Janet Austin, Nancy Black- man, Jane Foote, and Alison Livermore; and juniors Carol Seaberg, Ann Hansen, Laureen Sullivan, Pris- cilla Price, Sue Gonsalves, and Pat Coughlin. The last game for some of us was a Scholarship Fund Benefit at which we played the faculty and the boy ' s first team. It was a fitting ending to a wonder- ful season. 1954-1955 Recot J Marshfield 36 Alumnae 29 Marshfield 43 Hanover 31 Marshfield 76 Duxbury 30 Marshfield 50 Norwell 49 Marshfield 45 Pembroke 33 Marshfield 45 Scituate 36 Marshfield 64 Kingston 20 Marshfield 44 Hanover 24 Marshfield 51 Cohasset 26 Marshfield 64 Norwell 32 Marshfield 63 Pembroke 50 Marshfield 49 Scituate 50 Marshfield 70 Duxbury 29 Marshfield 65 Cohasset 27 Marshfield 64 Kingston 28 Total 829 Opponents 494 Won 14 Lost 1 1st row: Paul Lennon, Daniel Anderson, Calvin Bumpus, John Sullivan, David McMasfer, Stuart Corlton, Steven Atwater, Rob- ert Jones. 2nd row; Coach Anderson, Manager John Creed, Fred Gonsalves, Richard Kent, Michael Bissell, Robert Holmes.

EasLtLll 195 -1955 The 1954-55 basketball season found Marshfield ' s South Shore League defending co-champions with an extremely green and inexperienced team. Despite the loss of eight seniors, we surprised everyone by compiling an 8-8 record ond finishing fourth in the League. The first team consisted of Co-captain John Sullivan, the only returning first team member at guard; Co-captain Dave McMaster, center; Dan Anderson, forword; Steve Atwater, forward; and sophomore Stuart Carlton ot guard. We finished with an average of 68.3 points a game. Leading the scoring parade were Dan Anderson with a 21.2 game average and Dave McMaster with a 16 point a game average. After losing to the Alumni, sparked by Ben Silva, in overtime 70-69, we rolled over Hanover and Dux- bury. Our third game with Norwell was a heart- breaker and our first loss on our home court in two years. Trailing by 20 points ot the half, Marshfield staged a sensational rally and with three minutes left, we tied it up only to lose in the final seconds, 57-54. Marshfield again showed promise in the Pembroke game ■ But, after staging a tremendous comeback. lost 64-61. At Scituate we suffered from Scituate- itis and lost by 1 1 points. We showed terrific spirit ogoinst Kingston but lost in an overtime for our fourth straight loss. Marshfield continued to improve with each game, and we walloped Hanover, Co- hasset, and Norwell by large scores. Hit by illness, Marshfield was no opposition to Leogue-leading Pem- broke, and we lost our return game 70-40. We avenged our first loss to Scituote with an 88-79 win. This put us in sole posession of fourth place. Our game with Duxbury ended suddenly in bedlam as the lights went out due to o power failure. Marshfield was leading at the time but the game was cancelled. We again beat Cohasset 86-59, but lost our last game of the season to Kingston 74-71. Continuing to improve and showing that never- say-die spirit we squeaked past Bridgewater in a sudden death overtime, 66-64, on Steve Atwater ' s sensational set shot to enter the quarter finals of the South Shore Tournament. Facing East Bridgewater, the Mayflower League champs, we were in bad spirits as we had lost Stu Carlton, Paul Lennon and Jim Tingley with the measles, and Kevin Murphy with a sprained ankle, thus cutting our squad to eight men. Marshfield stunned everybody by taking a 33-31 lead at half time, but because of our lack of substitutes, we tired in the last quarter and lost, 75-54. Marshfield ' s record may not have been as impres- sive as that of previous years, but we lost two games in overtime and three by three points. There is much to look foward to next year when Marshfield should be in the thick of the League race. Squad members were Co-captains John Sullivan and David McMaster, Paul Lennon, Calvin Bumpus, Steven Atwater, Richard Kent, Daniel Anderson, Kevin Murphy, Stuart Carlton, Robert Holmes, James Ting- ley, Peter Henderson, Ross Ketchum, Michael Bissell, John Ulanowski, Donald Golden, Kenneth Halpin, Joseph Cunning, Richard Davis, Frederick Gonsalves, Douglas Wicher, Frederick Heap. 1954-1955 Record Marshfield 69 Alumni (overtime) 70 Marshfield 82 Hanover 47 Marshfield 65 Duxbury 44 Marshfield 54 Norwell 57 Marshfield 64 Pembroke 67 Marshfield 61 Scituate 72 Marshfield 63 Kingston 71 Marshfield 78 Hanover 69 Marshfield 68 Cohasset 36 Marshfield 76 Norv ell 64 Marshfield 48 Pembroke 70 Marshfield 88 Scituate 79 Marshfield Duxbury (cancelled) -- Marshfield 86 Cohasset 59 Marshfield 71 Kingston 74 Total 973 Opponent 879 Won 7 Lost 7 South Shore Tournament Marshfield 66 Bridgewater (O.T.) 64 Marshfield 54 East Bridgewater 74 first row: Sheila Coughlin, Susan K.

SoftUl In early April 1954, the softball season opened with nineteen determined girls looking for the third crown of the year. We were overjoyed because we hod won the field hockey and basketball champion- ships; we intended to capture the softball crown also, since we hod not been champs in a long while. The first game was played on April 26 with Norwell at Marshfield. We really overpowered them with twenty-three runs to their four. We were off to a good start! Our next game, with Pembroke at Marshfield, was very close. We defeated them by only four runs, 26-22. Our third game at Scituate was the one which we had been anticipating. It rained the night before and part of the next morning, but we begged to have the game in spite of the wet grounds. We lived to regret it, for we lost, 11-8. After this defeat, we wanted more than ever to win the rest of our games sa we could play off for the championship. The following Thursday we met and defeated Duxbury, 28-11. Our next game with Kingston was a little surprising, as we did not expect them to get seven runs to our three in the second inning. We came up with eight runs in the seventh inning, which made us quite confident, as we were ahead, 15-8. In the last inning we struck them out 1, 2, 3, and gained twa more runs to make the score 17-8. Our final two opponents, Cohasset and Hanover, were easy victims, for we defeated Cohasset, 23-11, and Hanover, 11-2, to end the season. We then made a trip to Duxbury, where we were to play Scituate for the championship. We waited almost and hour and, because Scituate did not ar- rive, we went home disgruntled. As Scituate had put their equipment in mothballs to stay until the 1955 season, Marshfield and Scituate finished as co-champians. Our lineup . . . Anne Hubbard, Linda Morrow, and Judy Martinson, pitchers; Sandra Clark, catcher; Janet Ela, first base; Pat Coughlin, second base; Butch Blass and Laureen Sullivan, third base; Betsy Anderson and Joan Long, right field; Anne Hubbard, center field; and Jayne Nangle, left field. 1954 l ecorc!

Marshfield had a very successful baseball season in 1954. The team compiled a record of six wins and two losses and finished second in the South Shore League. Five out of the nine starters from the year before returned, bringing the total squad to nineteen. In the first game of the season, Marshfield de- feated Hanover, 11-10. Ronald Holmes was the win- ning pitcher; Joe Roderick and Bob Habel drove in three runs apiece. Marshfield next defeated Pem- broke, 14-3, aided by the outstanding pitching of Jim Murphy. Ronnie Holmes collected his second vic- tory of the season when we defeated Kingston, 12-5. We continued our winning streak by triumphing over Cohasset, 8-7, and walloping Norwell, 11-4. Joe Roderick starred offensivey in both games. The next two games were our downfall. In the final game of the season, we edged Hanover, 7-6, in a thrilling game— a fitting ending to a terrific season. The starting lineup was as follows: pitchers, Ronald Holmes, Bob Habel, Dick Kent, and Jim Murphy; catcher, John Sullivan; first base, Alan Sherman; third base, Joe Roderick; short stop, Peter Sinnott; right field. Bob Henderson; center field, Ronald Holmes; and left field, Steve Atwater. The lettermen were: Bob Henderson, Bob Habel, Alan Sherman, Pete Sinnott, Joe Roderick, Ronnie Holmes, John Sullivan, Steve Atwater, Jim Murphy, Dick Kent, Don Monroe, Paul Lennon, and John Creed, manager. The squad included: Vaughn Hall, Don Golden, Robert Downs, Ellsworth Williams, Tom Murray, Don Murray, Robert Holmes, Grant Rising, Tony Gonsalves and Mike Hansen.
