The officers of the Student Council for this year are as follows: presi-
dent, Lawrence Lovell; vice-president, Robert White; secretary, Jean
Barclay, and treasurer, Ann Peterson.
One of the most important tasks which this student council has accom-
plished is that of revising the constitution.
At the beginning of the year the council put on an assembly for the
purpose of discussing and explaining the duties and aims of a council.
It has also taken charge of such important duties as selling war stamps,
caring for the service flag, and keeping the honor roll up-to-date.
For the first time in its history, this year the Duxbury High School
Student Council became a member of the National Association of Student
Councils. The purpose of this organization is to provide ideas and sug-
gestions for a successful student council.
They also helped the Parent Teachers' Association with a supper meet-
ing, which was very successful.
The Athletic Association, which is also part of the Student Council,
held a sports night in April, when letters were awarded to the players.

During this year the Partridge has been issued eight times, once a
month from October to May. Its June edition is this year book.
The monthly copies were duplicated at the high school by the students
with the assistance of Miss Collins and Mrs. McKey. Starting with the
December issue, printed covers were used, which added to the attractive-
ness of the magazine.
Some of the features have been Mrs. Anthony's "Advice to the Love-
lorn," a monthly write-up of a college, "Meet Your Teachers" interviews,
and a comic strip, "Sandy the Sea Gull," drawn by "Starr Fish."
Mary Richardson was replaced in February by Dorothy Randall as
business manager.
The year book subscription and advertising drive was held in March.
It was highly successful and was followed by a record hop at which Vir-
ginia Schwab and Willard Barclay were crowned Queen and King, re-
spectively, of the popularity contest held in connection with the drive.
At an assembly following the drive, prizes were awarded to Stanley
Nightingale, who sold the most advertisements, to Marcia Eckersley and
Lawrence Lovell, the runners-up, to Barbara Nathan for selling the most
subscriptions, and boxes of chocolates to the ninth and twelfth grades for
being one hundred per cent in subscriptions to the year book.

The Science Club, which was limited to fifteen members from grades
eight and nine, met every week under the direction of Mr. Gesiak. The
following members served as officers:
President William Dunkle
Vice President Leo King
Secretary Anne Garside
Treasurer Winston Bolton
During the meetings simple experiments were conducted, such as
making a wet cell, analyzing coal, and stretching glass. Sometimes movies
were shown. Many of the boys interested in photography did work in
the dark room, and two of the girls made a relief map of Duxbury, using
modeling clay.

Who could forget hours spent in study hall, when one tried frantically to get
the next period's assignment completed before the bell rang?
Room 12 was always a hive of activity when each month's Partridge was ready
for the assembly line. Here Editor Virginia Schwab checks the issue for errors while
the rest of the staff assemble, punch, cover, and tie the pages together. Barbara
can't resist a moment's pause to chuckle over a humorous item. Many students not
on the staff assisted with assembling. In this picture, Richard, Lawrence, Josephine
and Virginia Murphy represent the non-staff helpers.

Director
On December 15, 1944 "The Ghost Train" roared into Duxbury High
School, and from it descended, suit cases in hand, Marie Short and Stanley
Nightingale, a couple on the verge of divorce, Virginia Schwab and Bob
White, amorous newlyweds, Mary Richardson, a flustered spinster, weighed
clown by a bird cage, and Larry Lovell, a nonchalant young Englishman.
Richard Washburn, station master, thoroughly frightened the passengers
by telling them that they would have to spend the night in a deserted
station through which a ghost train was destined to pass at midnight.
During the course of a hectic evening, Mrs. Warfield took the part
for Dorothy Randall, who was ill, of a half-crazed, terror-stricken girl,
and exclaimed that she was fated to see the ghost train.
After a score of breathtaking episodes, the play drew to a climax with
Bill Soule and Norman Schaffer revealed as criminals in league with the
so-called nervous young lady, smuggling dope via The Ghost Train.
Bill Mosher, George Damon, Jack Randall, and Larry Lovell had
cleverly detected the ruse and captured the smugglers, much to the de-
light of an enthusiastic audience.
The realistic sound of the ghost train was accomplished with the aid
of an efficient stage crew under the direction of Mr. Dunkle.
Virginia Glass served as prompter.
Much credit for the fine performance is due to the director, Mr.
Warfield.

white clouds flying
And the blown spume and the flung
spray and the seagulls crying."

The Duxbury High School girls' basketball team this year placed
sixth in the South Shore League, Scituate taking first place. This was a
somewhat better record than last year and was probably due to the help
given the girls by Coach Sewall. A total of three games out of fourteen
were won.
Doris Parkman was high scorer of the season, with Betty Mosher
next in line.
The list of schools played is the same as that listed under Boys' Bas-
ketball.
Our cheerleaders, Ann Peterson, Nancy Soule, and Betty Hughes,
helped to enliven the games with their enthusiastic conducting of the
cheers.

The boys' basketball squad enjoyed a rather successful season this
year, when they completed their schedule with a record of nine wins
against five losses to take third place in a league of eight teams.
Much of the credit for this greatly improved showing over last year's
team should be given Coach Sewall, who voluntarily devoted his time to
help produce a winning combination.
The second team also enjoyed a successful season, having a record of
eleven wins against only three losses.

Baseball Team
The boys' baseball team this year was under the management of Mr.
Sewall.
Usually the boys on the team are in the high school, but this year we
had a first baseman from the eighth grade, William LaFleur.
The boys did not have many practices, as it was impossible for Mr.
Sewall, with all his other tasks, to devote a great deal of time to this sport.
The team as a whole did not play any one position. There were at
least two boys to one position, so that a change could be made if necessary.
The team comprised:
Pitchers: Lewis Randall, Robert White, Robert Green.
Catchers: Stanley Nightingale, George Damon,
First base: William LaFleur, Richard Washburn.
Second base: George Damon, Norman White.
Short stop: Willard Barclay, Richard Washburn.
Third base: Philip Delano.
Outfield: Richard Schaffer, James Mobbs, LeRoy Randall, Avery
Nickerson.
Managers — Donald Washburn, George Taylor.
Assistant Manager — Everett Dunn.

"O to have life henceforth a poem of
new joys!
To dance, clap hands, exult, shout, leap,
roll on, float on!
To be a sailor of the world, bound for
all ports,
A ship itself (see indeed these sails I
spread to the sun and air) ,
A swift and swelling ship full of rich
words, full of joys."

Honor Essay
HOW CAN WE HAVE A LASTING PEACE?
by Lewis Randall
Unless we take full advantage of our present opportunity to establish
the conditions of an enduring peace, the price that is being paid in hu-
man lives and material wealth will have been a total loss. First, we must
know what the conditions or requirements of a peaceful world are; and
second, how we can establish or create these conditions in our lifetime.
Perhaps the public attitude towards these problems will have a greater
effect on us, the class of '45, than anything else in our lives. We are the
ones who will either benefit or suffer by the decisions of our leaders.
The formation of an international organization similar to the League
of Nations, but having more power, seems to be the way in which we will
be able to establish peace. It may be felt that another world organization
would not be any more successful now than it was after World War I. But
we should have been able to profit from the mistakes that were made last
time. The League of Nations had no way in which to enforce or carry out
the recommendations that were made. Also, there was nothing that com-
pelled a country to belong to the League. If they were dissatisfied with
the way things were done, they merely dropped out. If we can correct
the mistakes that were made before, we should be able to create lasting
peace.
An international organization will probably be sufficient to keep the
peace, provided we establish a peace worth keeping. If we are unable to
construct a peace that will be satisfactory to each country, it will not be
a lasting peace. There should be no secret treaties or agreements between
nations for special advantage. If such a situation existed, it would only
tend to cause grievances and jealousy of other countries, and we would
be no further ahead than we were before.
The problems that arise as the result of proposing a peace plan are
many.
Full employment will undoubtedly be one of our basic needs. If we
are to have full employment in America, we will have to have full em-
ployment all over the world. If we continue to produce goods for trade,
we must provide markets for these goods. If we expect to market our goods
in foreign lands, the people of these lands must have employment so that
they will have the purchasing power necessary to buy our goods. It is just
as true of a person in some other part of the world as it is of a citizen of
the United States, that, "You can't buy unless you are able to sell." The
dependence of one group of persons on another for employment is not
limited by national boundaries. If we are going to have customers in other
countries, we must be good customers of theirs.
Purchasing power raises the problem of free trade. Reciprocal or
mutual trade agreements should exist with and between all nations. There
should be no discrimination against any one nation. Each one should have
an equal opportunity to share in the commerce of the world.
Another condition of a peaceful world is that of racial democracy. We
say that the only way to keep the peace is to have unity between all na-
tions. If we want to have unity, we must have cooperation and under-
standing between those involved. There cannot be cooperation between
the countries if we are not willing to appreciate the common people of
these countries regardless of their race, creed, or color. There should be
no prejudice against any person, group, or race of people if we expect to
even come close to our goal. Equality of opportunity is the basic principle
of democracy, and we have to think of it as such on a world scale before
we can have a world that is free and united.
We can continue to try to solve the problems of trade, employment,
education, and such that confront us. We can say that we must achieve
lasting peace. But, until we decide that every person, regardless of his
race, creed, or color, regardless of his ways and ideals, has as much right
to live as the next fellow; until we believe in equality of opportunity for
all, we will not have a world free from hate and wars, one that is free and
united.
Class Ode
by Virginia Schwab
FAREWELL, DEAR DUXBURY
Tune of "Vilia"
1.
Farewell, dear Duxbury, your praises we sing
To classmates and teachers our tributes we bring;
Our days together too quickly have passed,
But treasured memories will last.
2.
While our school stands mid its carpet of green,
We'll always remember the joys we have seen.
Friendship will linger as we depart,
Cherishing thee in our hearts.
3.
Farewell, dear Duxbury, we leave thee today,
Bearing fond memories of thee on our way,
Pleasures you've brought us. sorrow sometimes
Yet ever will we be thine.
4.
Loyal we stand ever friendly and true,
Heads held on high, our hearts loyal to you.
Thoughts of the past and the bright future too
Lead us, dear Duxbury, to you.

by
Richard Washburn
and
Virginia Schwab
Ginny: Well, for goodness sake — Richard Washburn! What are you doing
on this cruise ? Tell me all.
Wash: Well, hello Ginny. I'm on my way to Europe to get some ideas for
a new show. I'm the second Eddie Cantor, you know.
Ginny: Still blowing your own horn, I see.
Wash: Tell me, Ginny, where have you been keeping yourself all these
long years, and what brings you on this trip?
Ginny: Well, right now I'm on my way to Paris to help model the latest
fashions. Some fun!
Wash: I should say so. Tell me — have you heard anything about our
fellow classmates?
Ginny: You can't imagine whom I saw in New York when I went to the
tourist agency for my tickets.
Wash: Anybody I know?
Ginny: Dorothy Randall — you remember Dot?
Wash: Of course, who could forget Dot? What is she doing for excite-
ment?
Ginny: She is working at the agency, helping people with poor feeble
minds like mine to plan their trips abroad.
Wash: For heaven's sake! Say, Ginny, guess whom I just bumped into?
Ginny: Goodness only knows. Who?
Wash: N. J. Schaffer in person. He is a big shot oil magnate now, you
know.
Ginny: What's he doing on board?
Wash: Well, you know Norm was the boy with big ideas. He has been
beating the skins in the orchestra on board, and is now on his way
to Paris to sell some of the paintings he did in his spare time.
Ginny: Well, I see he hasn't forgotten his good old days at D. H. S. when
he was our one and only drummer and also an excellent artist.
Wash: I should say so. (Picks up newspaper) Say, Ginny, get a load of
this.
Ginny: What?
Wash: "Pleasure Town, U. S. A., June 14, 1955. It was announced today
by the Associated Press that James Arthur Mobbs, prominent
Middle West business man, has purchased outright the airport of
Elmer Fudd in Fuddville, U. S. A. When interviewed on the sub-
ject, Mr. Mobbs confirmed the statement and stated that he hasn't
forgotten his old home town of Duxbury, Mass., and will pitch in
and give Selectman Delano of that town a lift on the mail route.
Ginny: Well, I see J. J. got his wish to own an airport. That reminds me —
did Norm tell you whose orchestra is playing on board?
Wash: He must have forgotten it. He told me that he played the drums
once in a while, but he neglected to tell me whose band he played
in
Ginny: The band on board is none other than Bing Damon's.
Wash: Good grief — I never would have imagined Bing's being an orches-
tra leader. What's the name of the band?
Ginny: Porky's Corny Eingadeers — Whew! What a mouthful!
Wash: I read about his being elected President of the Hollywood Bache-
lor's Club, but I never thought he was a band leader too. I guess
I'll have to look him up before we dock, but if I don't see him. I'll
certainly hear him.
Ginny: Have you heard from any of the rest of our classmates?
Wash: Yes, I understand Bill Mosher is a big shot now.
Ginny: You don't say! What's he doing for excitement?
Wash: Well, you know that old car of his?
Ginny: You mean that old truck he fixed up into a chassis — I mean, that
old chassis he fixed up into a truck.
Wash: That gave him a start — he now owns a chain of garages on the
East Coast, a fleet of planes on the West Coast, and is sole owner
of three taxi cab companies in the South. And on top of all this,
he lives in Switzerland, where he controls his businesses by re-
mote control.
Ginny: He certainly has come up in the world. I guess raking leaves for
Tony Barriault started him on his career, don't you?
Wash: Yes, I guess it did.
Ginny: Say, Washie, you remember Larry Lovell, our class president?
Wash: Sure, I remember Larry. What about him?
Ginny: He is now president of the steamship lines on which we are sail-
ing. He's just been offered $50,000 for his antique jaloppy he
bought while at D. H. S. It's wanted for the French Exposition
of 1960.
Wash: I knew that Larry would be president of something. He was pres-
ident of just about everything at good old D. H. S. But $50,000
for that old jaloppy! Whew!
Ginny: Lewie Randall is also on board. He is on his way to Europe to
try to locate some talent for his moving picture business. He owns
the Flashy Eyeful Pictures, Inc., you know.
Wash: Well, good for Lewie. That reminds me of Stanley Nightingale.
You remember Stan?
Ginny: Why, of course, he was the Casanova of the class. Tell me, what's
Stan been doing all these long years.
Wash: I understand that he is a famous Hollywood actor. Oh, I almost
forgot — Bob White is star vocalist for Bing's Corny Bingadeers.
It won't be long before all the bobby-socks will be swooning over
Droolatra White. I almost forgot to tell you Marie Short is on
board. She's on her way to Paris to buy clothes for her swank
New York shoppe. Maybe you'll model some for her.
Ginny: Maybe I will. Who knows?
Wash: Oh, guess whom I bumped into a little while ago — Bill Soule.
Ginny: Really? What has he been doing lately?
Wash: Well, believe it or not, Bill's on a pleasure trip here. He said that
he is trying to escape the turmoil of his motorcycle business.
Ginny: Say, I read something about a new motorcycle named "Soulemo-
bile," or something like that.
Wash: Yes, that's Bill's latest invention. It's streamlined for speed or
pleasure.
Ginny: Washie, doesn't it seem to you that we have neglected someone?
Wash: Why, of course. We almost forgot John Randall — you remember
Johnny?
Ginny: Why, of course.
Wash: He is now working in New York — cooking hard-boiled eggs in a
soft-boiled egg factory.
Ginny: Wouldn't that boil you over!
Wash: It most certainly would. Well, Ginny, I guess our classmates
didn't do so badly after all.
Ginny: No, and I hope that they continue to do well in the future. Let's
have the gang get together on board before we dock.
Wash: That's a good idea. So long for now, and I'll see what I can do
about getting the crowd together.
Class History
by William Soule and Dorothy Randall
September 8, 1941 was a great day for the Class of '45, who were to
embark on the good ship Class of '45 of D. H. S.
Roll call was taken, and as there were no crew members, we set sail
on the Freshmen Sea. Our ship's officers for that year were as follows:
President Lewis Randall
Vice President Lawrence Lovell
Secretary ... Robert White
Treasurer George Damon
Our activities for that year were very limited because of conditions
brought on by the war.
The first year was spent mostly learning rules and regulations of
D. H. S. and preparing ourselves for the voyages that were to come.
In June of 1942 the good ship Class of '45 put into Duxbury harbor.
During the summer months, while the crew were on leave, the ship was
put into shape from stem to stern.
After the leave was over, last call was given to all those who wanted
to sail the Sophomore Ocean.
With last year's crew intact and two new members, Edward Hinckley
and Francis Pictan of Boston, we weighed anchor on schedule.
Realizing that the ship would be our home for the next nine months,
we spent the first day getting acquainted with our new quarters and ob-
taining equipment for our voyage.
Our ship's captain, Mr. Arthur Lee Homan, called a meeting to vote
for officers for the ensuing year.
The following people were elected:
President Lawrence Lovell
Vice President Richard Washburn
Secretary Lewis Randall
Treasurer Janice Dyer
We did not have any dance or party that year because of more im-
portant wartime activities.
About half-way across the ocean, a steamer headed for Boston came
along-side. Immediately Edward Hinckley and Francis Pictan said that
they were leaving us to return to their home town to work.
After two more weeks of sailing, Richard Olsen and Robert Chandler
left us to go aboard ships of the U. S. Navy.
We had many storms on the Sophomore Ocean, but we all came
through with flying colors by winning our own individual battles.
We were now ready to sail on the Junior Sea, but first we were given
liberty for two months.
It was the fifth day of September, 1943, when we all boarded the good
ship Class of '45 and set sail on the Junior Sea.
In checking over our crew, we found we had a new shipmate, Virginia
Schwab. She was transferred from the ship "Weymouth" to the "Dux-
bury" to continue her smooth sailing through high school.
As soon as we had found our quarters and acquired our "sea legs,"
our captain, Miss Beals, advised us to select good ship's officers if we were
to continue safely on our course.
The crew selected the following officers:
We made plans for a class dance May 12, but unfortunately we had
to call it off. I wonder if it was because some of us didn't know the kind
of dancing that we call "Jitterbug" today, or did the rough weather cause
us to lose our "sea legs"?
Many of the boys of our crew went out for the most outstanding sport
known to us in Duxbury — basketball. The team consisted of the following
junior boys: "Bill" Mosher, "Bob" White, "Dick" Washburn," "Larry"
Lovell, and "Lewey" Randall.
We sailed on, and before we knew it, it was time for the seniors to
disembark at the next port, which meant a senior reception to be held on
the ship's deck June 17. Everyone lent a helping hand, and the seniors
were very proud of us.
As we walked solemnly to the bulletin board, we found that our last
order had been the senior reception. We were now on leave for two
months. We went home to our parents and friends once more, realizing
that we had only one more year to sail on our own little ship. We knew
when we came back there would be only twelve of us to continue our sail
together.
Soon our leave was up and we found ourselves at the senior pier, ready
to sail on for our last trip. We found old shipmates gone and new ones
about to sail on with us. Among our missing was Betty Muirhead. That
left only three girls, Marie Short, Dorothy Randall, and Virginia Schwab.
With happy and eager faces we started our senior voyage at once. As
we walked along the deck, we found Mrs. Eleanor McKey at the helm to
help us keep our sailing as smooth as ever.

It wasn't long after the officers had been elected that they noticed
walking down the main deck a new passenger aboard their ship. Mary
Richardson had been transferred from the "Charlestown, N. H." to the
"Duxbury" in hopes of continuing her sail through high school. Stanley
Nightingale, a former passenger, had also returned to the ship.
The members of our crew again participated in the popular sport
basketball, having a successful season.
For many nights during November and December everyone gave up
precious evenings to practice the senior class play, "The Ghost Train,"
under the direction of Mr. Robert Warfield. Mr. William Dunkle man-
aged the sound effects, and we appreciated very much the work he did.
It was the fifteenth of December that the "Ghost Train" stopped at
Duxbury, and what a relief! Oh yes, something happened at one of the
rehearsals. Dorothy Randall had to report below deck for "Sick Call."
We turned our sail and went to Mrs. Warfield to take Dorothy's part, so
that the "Ghost Train" could continue to its destination.
Before we knew it, it was time to order our senior caps and gowns
and have our pictures taken for our year book.
When Mary Richardson boarded our ship in October, all of us thought
that she would continue her sail with us, but in March she asked for a
transfer back to her own ship "The Charlestown, N. H."
Our crew keeps getting smaller. Norman Schaffer left us in March
to board a larger ship belonging to Uncle Sam's Navy. We want to wish
him oceans of luck. He is not the only one, because "Bill" Mosher did like-
wise. We now have twelve to carry on, but we hope that all of those that
have left will always remember the good ship Class of '45 from the Dux-
bury High School.
Home is the place where peace and comfort
Make their way to all;
Home is the place where joy resounds
From each and every wall.
Home is the place where mother's hand
Comforts the weary and sad;
Home is the place that echoes with
The shouts of a merry lad.
Home is the place where mirth reigns king.
Where children's happy voices sing.
Home is the place where all is blessed.
Home is the castle of happiness.

Class Will
by George Damon
and
Robert White
WE. the Class of 1945 of Duxbury High School, of the Common-
wealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and body (we
think) do make, publish, and declare that this is our last will
and testament. We bequeath our most prized possessions to
the following:
Richard Washburn, who dashed off his shorthand in five minutes, leaves
this ability to Frances Walker, who should profit by it.
Robert White, our dashing young Romeo, bequeaths his charm to any
blushing and bashful backwoods boy in the sophomore class.
James Mobbs leaves his quietness to Betty Schaffer. the noisy junior. With
Jay's quietness Betty should be a little easier on the teaching staff
next year.
Virginia Schwab leaves a small portion of her pep and inclination for mis-
chief to Irene Damon and Virginia Glass. We know they don't need
either, but you remember the old saying, "To him that hath shall be
given."
Stanley Nightingale leaves his brain, preserved in alcohol, to be kept in
Mrs. Suitor's laboratory for the juniors to study in their senior year.
William Mosher leaves his record for being tardy to his sister Betty,
who won't find it difficult to break it.
Marie Short, whose temper gets the best of her at various times, bequeaths
said temper to Dot Black, who never seems to get riled.
Lawrence Lovell leaves to pick up more girls in his old Ford.
Lewis Randall leaves his extra gray matter to Bob Green and we hope
that Bob will attain Lewis' record as class genius.
Dorothy Randall leaves her typing and letter writing ability to any soph-
omore girl who wants it. With Dot's ability the sophomore should
really get somewhere, especially with her servicemen's correspondence.
John Randall, the alibi artist, leaves his abilities to George Taylor, who
should be able to profit by them.
Tall, lanky Norman Schaffer leaves a foot and a half to Willard Barclay,
which Norman will never miss, and which should enable "Bare" to
throw the ball down through the basket instead of up and then down.
William Soule leaves his mechanical ability to Dick Schaffer. With Bill's
ability Dick should be able to repair his so-called car.
George Damon leaves his low-slung weight to Bill Dunkle. With George's
weight Bill may be able to cast a shadow.
To Mr. Scott, our principal, we leave the classes to come, hoping that each
will be better than the last.
To Miss Collins we leave a chauffer to drive to the Post Office to get war
stamps each week.
To Mrs. Suitor we leave a larger room for her after school classes.
To Mr. Sewall we leave the memory of a perfect history class. We know
he will never find our equal.
To Miss Downey we leave an automatic foot to keep the straggling lines
in step going to and from assemblies.
To Mr. Warfield the Class of '45 leaves a private office for his use. In
this he may store the innumerable papers his students write.
To Mrs. McKey we leave a motor scooter on which she may get more speed
going up and down the corridors on foot. It also ought to save a little
shoe leather.
To Mr. Dunkle we leave a new set of springs for his car. Those basket-
ball trips with ten or fifteen players were very hard on them. With
these new springs he should be ready for more trips next year.
To Mr. Gesiak we leave a microphone so that he will bs able to out-talk
his history class. If this fails, we leave a sum of money to provide
gags for them.
On this fourteenth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and forty-five, we, the Class of 1945, do sign, seal and declare
in the presence of witnesses, who at our request have subscribed their
names, that this is our last will and testament.

"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,
And my youth comes back to me.
And the verse of a Lapland song
Is haunting my memory still;
'A boy's will is the wind's will,
And the thought of youth are long, long
thoughts' ."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Memories
In a little while twelve boys and girls will leave Duxbury High School,
never to return again except for visits. Most of these pupils have had
the whole or the biggest part of their education in Duxbury. From these
years will come many pleasant memories that the passing of time will
make only more precious.
I doubt if many remember very much about their first eight years of
school, even though the first day at school is a vivid memory. But until
a person has entered high school, the fun of education hasn't even started.
When the proud little class of '45 entered the ninth grade room for a
stay of forty or so weeks, they had great plans for their high school years.
All the dances and parties they were going to have! Of these only a few
materialized, but these few will linger long in the memories of our de-
parting class.
There were, of course, basketball games, which were a lot of fun for
the teams and spectators. Remember those rides to and from games? The
so-called singing was enough to make even Frank Sinatra seem good.
In 1944 the juniors (now our graduating class) gave a splendid re-
ception for their departing seniors. For weeks in advance they were plan-
ning their decorations and refreshments, and the girls were discussing
gowns, hair-do's and evening slippers. And when that big night came,
everyone was decked out in his best finery, all ready for a grand time.
They weren't to be disappointed. Remember that beautiful grand march
that they slaved over for many days and weeks before? It was certainly
worth all the effort put into it.
At the beginning of their senior year they started to plan for the
senior class play, the best for many a year. I know that not only the cast,
but even the crew whose fun consisted in making the train whistle and
crash at the right time, will never forget the rehearsals and the excite-
ment of the final performance.
And now that graduation time has arrived, there is, of course, the
thrill of getting a diploma, delivering the class gifts and speeches, and
having the reception planned and given in their honor. Memories of these
will be vivid indeed.
But perhaps the most precious memories of all will be the friendships
made in school. Years from now, the friends who shared these exper-
iences with them will seem closer than ever. The ties made in high school
can never be broken.
Yes, seniors, your high school career is finished, but in your memories
it will live forever.
Irene Damon '46
To the Juniors
What say there, you who will be seniors?
This year you have had more fun and notoriety than many a junior
class. Your basketball players and your jitterbugs top the list. Your
class spirit bubbles over, and so do you when you should be boning away.
That's just one of the things we want to talk about.
A school is "made" or spoiled by the pupils who attend it. That we
know. But aside from spirit and sportsmanship there is the main purpose
we all have in attending school — education. That is, without doubt, the
most essential thing in future living. How can you be as smooth as your
post war world if you aren't sent through something that will buff off
the rough corners? The broader your understanding of human nature
and world affairs the more likely you are to succeed in your chosen voca-
tion or career.
The step from junior to senior is more than the passage of a summer
vacation. It is one of the most serious changes in an adolescent's life,
particularly in these days when becoming a citizen means that we are not
only citizens of our own great country but potential citizens of a narrow-
ing world.
The seniors are usually aloof and extraordinarily silent on matters even
of little importance, for they are just beginning to realize that tomorrow is
theirs and perhaps the result of their actions will alter their lives. It is
in school that we must learn to apply common sense to any situation and
evaluate people, incidents and material goods in comparison with our own
education.
Next year you juniors will head the student government of your
school. There may in the future be a statesman or politician among you
who may have got his taste for the legislative through that student body.
School is the place to test out your ability to adapt yourself to changes,
to other people's wants and plans, and to prepare yourself for the ventures
into which you will enter when free from the ties of compulsory education.
But remember, education never stops. That is, it never stops broad-
ening the way for those who want it. And who doesn't?
So — let's make school the proving ground of our capacities and use
those capacities to build in the future a better world.
