DUXBURY HIGH SCHOOL
DUXBURY, MASSACHUSETTS
To Our Readers
We have tried to gather together for you the
tilings we believe are memorable about, our years at
Duxbury High ... in many pietures . . . fewer
words.
We like to thank people. It's a pleasant way
of expressing gratitude to people like Miss Col lins
Mrs. Bassett, Mr. .Sands, and Mr. King, who have
assisted us with our yearbook.
There are others too! High school students,
faculty, and townspeople all have taken an interest
and have worked with us. So we say, "Thank you,"
from the bottoms of our hearts.
Here we train
mind and hand
the common good.
Dedication
. When the Staff' was ready to dedicate our 1950 Partridge, we
all said, "Miss Collins!" That was the way everybody want-
ed it, because she's our idea of the perfect senior adviser.
V
PARTRIDGE STAFF
"Oh, do we have to cut that out too?" These words were repeated
over and over again during nightly meetings of the staff. Even
though some of our most cherished ideas have fallen to the blows of the
economy axe, we are still certain that this is the
best yearbook ever. We hope you will enjoy looking at it: we certainly
had fun producing it.
To The Members of The Class of 1950:
As you face the problems of the future you
must remember lliat you received your education
during times when the world prepared for war, fought
the war, and adjusted itself from war to peace. No
one can safely predict what conditions you face. We
know that Atomic Energy will affect your lives; we
know thai world peace must be secured; and we know
that education of all the people will be the only true
way to secure and hold peace.
We know that the safety of nations depends
upon young people like you. If there is any message
that we would send with you as you go your separate
ways into the business world, let it be this — "Keep
your common sense. Be guided in your actions by
those fundamental principles of democracy and truth
which we have attempted to instill in you. Have con-
fidence in yourself, have trust in your fellow men, and
have faith in God."
The School Committee, your teachers, and the
students left behind wish you well. Leave us now,
but don't forget us. We will not forget you.
Charles P. Lawrence
Superintendent of Schools
Dear Seniors:
Your teachers believe you have developed a
respect for scholarship and a desire to react intellec-
tually rather than emotionally. The tolerant manner
in which you evaluate the merits of each member of
your class shows that you are beginning to recognize
the social worth of each individual. One of the most
prized possessions of any group is the ability to work
together for a common goal. This quality, w hich en-
tails individual responsibility for actions of others, is
a prerequisite for a smoothly functioning democra<\
in any country. You are not drifting; you have a plan
for the future. There is evidence that you have ac-
quired some of the techniques of self-education. Since
Society is not organized to guide and help you bey ond
the high school age, these are the qualities upon w hich
you must depend.
Many of you will soon leave Duxbury for
further education, business careers, and life. The
faculty wishes you every success and believes that you
are prepared to meet the demands of an ever changing
world.

Graduation preparation began,
"Whan that Aprille with its shoures sote
The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote.
His scholarship was what he truly heeded.
He never spoke a word more than was needed. . . .
And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.
For any man. unless he is a fool.
Knows well that every part comes from the whole. . . .
All that men write shall pass,
in prose or rhyme.
Take every man his turn in his own time."

HOYS' GLEE CLUB
When one walks through the halls of D.H.S.
during the fifth period on Thursday, he undoubtedly
hears the voices of twenty-five male students in
perfect harmony. For at long last, the hoys have
formed a Glee Club, thanks to Miss Hadley, their
adviser.
As yet, they have not done much singing in
public, but they have sung at P.T.A. meetings and
at the Unitarian Church during the Christmas sea-
son. A spring festival, in which boys, girls, and
band will entertain the public, is planned.
Here's hoping this Glee Club is the start of a great
idea in Duxbury High School and that it will con-
tinue for many years!
LIBRARY SERVICE CLUB
The L.S.C. may he the oldeH
club in school in point of time, but
has the youngest and most spirite
members. \ .I.P.'s in the club ai
Pauline Govoni, Nancy Johnsoi
Janice Borghesani, Harriet Mar'
and Mrs. Bencordo. We aid tl
faculty in preparing library ma
terial for class units, help the sti
dent body in research work, serve i
the desk in the library, and help 01
librarian in her work for the schooi
SPECIAL SERVICE CLUB
The boys in this club are respons
hie for the Visual Aid Equipment i
the school. When a movie, a re|
ord, or the tape recorder is needel
members of the S.S. Club come |
the rescue.
THE BAND
T-o-o-o-t . . . Bla-a-a-t . . . bo-o-om
What in Heaven's name is that?
The new band tuning up. It's wonder
And are we proud!
DRAMATIC CLIB
t's a wonder our Faculty Ad-
t, Miss Gray, isn't bald-headed,
she's certainly torn her hair at
innumerable rehearsals for the
b's production of MAHY-GO-
LND. Lucky she had enough
for the Third Annual Touraa-
lt of Plays produced by the
HOYS' QUARTET
"Would it be possible?"
Muddy.
"It would be a lot of fun . .
pointed out ( larleton.
"It Mirr would be," affirmed
"Let's go get Dick and find M
Hadley.
Miss Hadley was astonished, I
verj co-operative. The sludi
body was astounded but delight
These barber-shoppers were on
beam, but dell
GIRLS' GLEE CLUB
Do we like music? The answer is.
"Yes!" And you can hear plenty of it
any Tuesday afternoon you wish. If it's
rhythm you want, the Girls' Glee Club
has it. When its twenty-eight members
all join together, with Miss Hadley at the
piano, w ho can help wanting to sing?
The sirls have been successful in carol
singing, assembly programs, a minstrel
show , and a spring festival.
CHEFS' CLUB
Our Platform:
We believe the bachelors (am
husbands) of tomorrow ought t<:
be able to cook a meal fit fo
human consumption. That
why we learn the essentials I
good cooking, which will surel;
come in handy in later life!
With the help of our able adl
viser, Mrs. Rice, we are sun
that we will thus save ourselvej
from starvation.
STUDENT COUNCIL
Every school has an or-
ganization of which it is
proud. In D.I [.S., I hat or-
ganization i-- the Student
( i uncil. Of course it isn't
perfect, hut we feel it's
mighl \ close to il !
"Whj not do this?" "\\ h>
not do that?" No sooner said,
than done! That's the way
the Council operates. De-
mocracy is the keyword and
proud we are of it.
HONOR SOCIETY
Character, leadership, and service
are the "Bif; Three" of the Honor
Society. Duxhury Huih School's seven
nienihers deserve and have our admira-
tion.

REVIEW
R. J. Wansker
GIRLS' BASKETBALL
There were games that made us happy,
There were games that made us sad.
But the girls were always "in there"
(Jiving every bit they had;
They'd pivot, they'd dribble, they'd screen
and they'd play;
Their "cutting" was weak, but their spirit
"O.K.''
For '50, here's hoping success is secure,
Not all years can make champions,
But for '50 we're sure!
JUNIOR BASKETBALL
Often when we look at the champion-
ship basketball teams of Duxbury we
forget that much of the credit for learning
the fundamentals of basketball belongs to
the Junior Basketball Team. Under
Coach King these junior high players learn
basic basketball. Later in the season they
play other junior high teams throughout
the League.
FIELD HOCKEY
1949
Sticks, ball, goals, a game!
Third in the League race,
Gee, what a shame!
1950
Obstruction, lunge, defense, and sticks,
Tops in the League race,
Duxbury clicks!
BOYS' BASKETBALL
As usual under the capable direction of
Coach Blakeman this year's basketball
team kept up its reputation of being one
of the best in the League. With Captain
Bob Nathan heading a squad of twenty
hard working players we went ahead and
won sixteen games while losing only three.
After a successful league season we went
up to Brockton and took the Class C
championship. Even though we are losing
five veterans we are looking forward to
another successful season under Coach
Blakeman's direction.
SOCCER
Even though soccer is a new sport in
Duxbury, last year's soccer team played
some of the best teams in the state and
won more than its share of the games.
We were accorded a special honor when
Danny White, one of our fullback--. \\a-
elected to the second team of the Eastern
Massachusetts All-Star Soccer Team.
Next year we are looking forward to
another successful year of soccer under
Coach King.
OUR TENNIS TEAM
Left to Right: Judy Griswold. Jud> Wirt.
Jane Ripley, Anne Kent, Joan Walker,
Mrs. Axinger.
CHEERLEADERS
With a root and a toot and a sis boom
bang,
The cheerleaders cheered and the cheer-
leaders sang.
\\ ith cheers for I he \ isitors and cheers for
OUT team.
These lads and lassies were really on the
beam!
BASEBALL
Although Duxbury cannot look back on
any championships, we are sure that under
the guidance of Coach Sands this year's
team will change this record. There is a
large squad with plenty of enthusiasm and
fighting spirit, and we are sure that the
combination of their experience and Mr.
Sand's coaching ability will give Duxbury
a championship contender.
i 0 ;!
! \)M CLASS C CHAMPIONS
Tied for the South Shore Champion-
ship, we entered the Class C Tourney at
Brockton. After beating Norton and
Plainville, we found that we would have
to play Kingston, our league rival, in the
finals. Kven though we were behind for
• most of the championship game, we ral-
••*»; lied in (Ik last few minutes and won the
cup.
SOFTBALL
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the soft-
ball team last Spring,
Yet the last game without doubt was the
one game of which we'd sing.
Look what's coming on next Spring's squad
\ et'rans almost everyone!
Can we make the championship? Why
not ?
W hat's more, have a lot of fun.
GIRLS' TRACK
Last spring the girls were running on the
track for Duxbury High,
The neighboring schools competing found
them very hard to tie.
There was jumping high and wide, there
were dashes short and long,
But when they brought the ribbons home
the cheers rang loud and strong.
BOYS' TRACK
Last year track was introduced in Dux-
bury and met with enthusiasm by most of
the student body. Not only did we take
part in several track meets, but also we
had great competition in the school itself
for track honors. In the South Shore
League Track Meet we placed third even
though our team had no experience arid
other activities kept us from getting all
the practice we needed. We hope track
will be come a major sport in Duxbury.

Personal . . .
Names make the news, it is said. Isn't it
true that we like to read about other
people— what they are doing, where they
are going, how they live and what they
think? Especially do we like to read
about people we know. World shaking
news arouses our- interest but the personal
hits about our neighbors and friends holds
our interest. II. is for this reason that a
home town newspaper is so thoroughly
read and enjoyed by the people of a com-
munity. The Old Colony Memorial is your
town newspaper. It is written and edited
for you. Buy it regularly and keep in
touch with your neighbors and friends.
