THE  SENIOR  CLASS 
of 

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.
