-r /;
A friendly smile, two merry eyes, and a
winning way: that's our Mrs. Churchill. As our
senior homeroom teacher she laughed at our
jokes, shared our victories or defeats, and
tried always to understand us, as hard as it
may sometimes have been. As our class ad-
visor she offered perfect suggestions, gave us
needed encouragement, and warned us when
we began to fall— all this in her usual gentle
but effective manner. To you, Mrs. Churchill,
we dedicate our 1953 Parf ridge.
HALL OF FAME
For field trips, Halloween parties, A.A. Sup-
pers, and guidance talks we relied on Mr.
Blakeman. His thoughtful advice and interest-
ing projects helped us through the customary
strangeness of our first years in high school.
Always there with a trusting smile and a con-
fident pat on the back, "Blakie" watched each
one of us grow up. As we leave D.H.S. we
leave also a faithful and true friend. To you,
Mr. Blakeman, we dedicate our 1953 Part-
ridge.

PRES S CLIPPINGS
Celebrities
D.H.S, March, 1953 — Along with
the fun of four school years, mem-
bers of the Class of 1953 have been
honored in various interesting ways.
In the freshman year Elaine Mac-
omber won an award from the New
England Aircraft School for the
best essay on the class trip to Logan
Airport.
Ann Wentworth was the win-
ner of a portable radio in the
Sophomore-sponsored "Vacabu-lad-
der" contest, an English project.
Anne Kent had a poem published
in the National High School Poetry
Anthology.
Honor ushers for 1952 com-
mencement exercises were Lloyd
Ferrell, Carl O'Neil, Peter Barker,
Ronald Cheney, Edythe Pyy, Joan
Walker, Anne Kent, and Elaine
Macomber. Student marshal was
Steven Loring. Earlier in the Junior
Year Edythe Pyy was chosen as rep-
resentative to Good Government
Day.
A trip to Nova Scotia by boat
was the prize for Anne Kent's win-
ning essay on the American Mer-
chant Marine. Also in the Junior
Year, Peter Barker and Anne Kent
were chosen as representatives to
Massachusetts Boys' and Girls'
States.
As the Senior Year progressed
Edythe Pyy was one of the six
finalists in the Cape Cod Cranberry
Queen Contest. Steven Loring was
chosen as the representative to
Good Government Day. Elaine
Macomber was interviewed on the
radio after being one of four alter-
nates in the Plymouth County Al-
trusa Club Essay Contest. Beverly
Freeman was the winner of the
Daughters of American Revolution
Award. The Bausch and Lomb Sci-
ence Award was presented to Carl
O'Neil.
Deserving Seniors will receive ad-
ditional awards at their graduation.
Class Elects
Officers
LOST MEMBERS
'53 MOURNS
Each September found the class
of '53 voting for officers with
Miss Downey's reminder, "Popular-
ity does not belong at the polls,"
clearly in mind.
The Freshmen year found the
following officers: President Bud-
dy Hyslop, Vice President Elaine
Macomber, Secretary Joan Walker
and Treasurer Gail Woodsum. Peter
Barker, Donald Barbosa, Elaine
Macomber and Barbara Hulbert
were elected Student Council rep-
resentatives while Edythe Pyy and
Barbara Hulbert were chosen stu-
dent marshals.
Officers for the Sophomore Year
were President Elaine Macomber,
Vice President Barbara Hulbert,
Secretary Joan Walker and Treas-
urer Peter Barker.
As Juniors the officers were Pres-
ident Elaine Macomber, Vice Presi-
dent John Allen, Secretary Joan
Walker, Treasurer Carl O'Neil.
Ronald Cheney and Edythe Pyy
were Student Council representa-
tives and. student marshals were
Carl O'Neil and Gail Woodsum.
Duxbury High, Sept., 1952 — As
Freshmen, the class of 1953 had one
of the largest groups to enter the
high school. At one time the class
numbered near fifty. Gradually
members of the class moved, at-
tended other schools or dropped
out to work. Soon the once remark-
ably large group dwindled to just
another class, but only as size goes.
The Sophomore Year found Bud-
dy Hyslop, Judy Griswold, Tom
Bulu, Audrey Trongeau, Henry
Merry, Walter" Johnson, Robert
Bartlett and Skipper Ellis among
the missing. Returning for our Jun-
ior Year we found that we had lost
Gratia Wrye, Susan Lund, Paul
Bates, Herbert Johnson, Blanche
Caron, and Tom Craig. As Seniors
we missed Clayton Ricker, Dan
Ellis, Donald Barbosa and Ronald
Cheney.
The class has never quite forgot-
ten these students whose names re-
main linked with memories of past
years.
A Traveling Class
D.H.S., Nov., 1949 — Voices yelled
"Wait for me!" and "Save a seat!"
as the Freshmen climbed aboard
the school bus, New Bedford bound.
The Class of '53 was preparing to
leave for a field trip! The New
Bedford Whaling Museum was our
first stop. We spent the morning
there examining whale skeletons,
going through the authentic scale-
model of a whaling vessel, and se-
lecting postcards. The afternoon
found the sightseers* at the Wam-
sutta Textile Mills observing the
very interesting process of cloth
manufacturing. At the end of the
tour everyone boarded the bus with
paper bags and pockets full of un-
processed wool.
Months later Mr. Blakeman took
the class to Logan Airport. There a
very interesting day was spent visit-
ing the weather bureau, the control
tower and the hangars. An airplane,
opened for inspection, was soon oc-
cupied by anticipating Freshman
who strapped themselves into seats,
just in case the plane happened to
take off. The rest of the day was
spent touring the propeller rooms,
engine rooms, dope rooms and fi-
nally the cafeteria of the New Eng-
land Aircraft School. This, a most
enjoyable field trip, was one of the
highlights of our first year in high
school.

ON STAGE
D.H.S., March, 1952 — Although
they never won a trophy in the
Tournament of Plays, the Class of
'53 has been a strong contender for
top honors each year.
As Freshmen the class gave "Jun-
ior Buys a Car." Included in the
cast were Ronald Cheney, Beverly
Freeman, Edythe Pyy, Blanche Car-
on, Loyd Ferrell, John Benevento,
Thomas Craig, Martha Allen, Vir-
ginia Washburn, and John Soule.
"Drums in the Night" was pre-
sented in the Sophomore Year with
Gratia Wrye, John Soule, Elaine
Macomber, Anne Kent, Martha
Allen, Peter Barker, Joan Walker,
and Susan Lund taking pans.
In the Junior Year "Hurricane
Hill" was the class play. In the
cast were Steven Loring, John Soule,
John Benevento, Martha Allen,
Anne Kent, Virginia Washburn,
and Ann Wentworth.
The class never won the trophy,
but what times they had learning
their parts, rehearsing, and celebrat-
ing when it was all over!

A PARTY -GOING
CLASS
D.H.S, Jan. 25, 1951 — The past
few weeks have seen carloads of
Sophomores drive mysteriously up
to Tom Craig's house, jump out
carrying cakes, cookies or records,
and run through the snow to the
house.
These parties have been going on
periodically since the Sophomore
Dance. Activities vary each eve-
ning — playing ping pong, play-
ing cards, cooking, eating or ward-
ing off party crashers who somehow
seem to find their way silently up
the snow-covered road.
From the way things look the
Sophomores are a party-going class.
Winter
Wonderland
D.H.S., Jan. 20, 1951 — Early in
December frequent class meetings,
mysterious whispers and afternoon
get-togethers forewarned the com-
ing of the Sophomore Dance.
Undecided as to the type of cos-
tume to be worn at their dance,
the Sophomores conducted a school
poll to learn what the student body
preferred.
Afternoons saw boys as well as
girls gathered at various houses,
seated on the floor cutting snow-
flakes out of onion paper. Over a
thousand of these cut-outs were
needed. Snowflakes were cut and
strung by threes in study halls,
home rooms and after school.
Duxbury High hummed with in-
dustry the day of the dance, the
Sophomores' first. An effective "as-
sembly line" of girls was created
to put glitter on the otherwise ready
snowflakes while the boys were
chopping down evergreen trees
from near-by woods. Finally the
auditorium was transformed into
a true "winter wonderland." Hang-
ing snowflakes fluttered with the
gusts of a fan, evergreens and
spruces densely covered the four
walls and in the center of the floor
stood a large Christmas tree cov-
ered with snow. A blue spotlight
made the gym look like winter out-
of-doors.
At the end of a hard day, Sopho-
mores inspected their work, tired
but deeply satisfied.
SENIORS HAVE
BEACH PARTY
D.H.S., Sept., 1952 — Duxbury
Beach, a frequent Senior rendez-
vous, was the site of the first party
of the year. A full moon, a warm
sea breeze and a roaring fire made
the night a perfect one.
The traditional hamburgers, hot
dogs and marshmallows were cooked
with much effort. Eating was ac-
companied by the "delightful" mu-
sic of the Red Nathan, Slim Soule,
Steve Loring Trio.
Rides on the beach in Johnny
Allen's and Herb Wirt's '36 Fords
and in Steve Denyer's "Sand-Flea"
were topped off by Birdie's and
Woodie's first motorcycle ride —
four Seniors on Lloyd's red bike.
OUR CLASSES
MONDAY MOAMN&S.'
EASTER
D.H.S., April 6, 1952 — For days
the Town Hall has been bustling
with activity. Weeks before this,
the Juniors' homeroom resembled
a kindergarten, the floors strewn
with colored scraps of paper and
the desks covered with cut-out bun-
nies, flowers and birds. Class meet-
ings, trips to Boston and hours of
planning have all been in prepara-
tion for the Junior Prom.
The doors of the Town Hall were
opened early Saturday morning, the
day of the dance. There was much
yet to be done. Decorations had to
be finished and put on the walls,
PARADE
the floor had to be cleared and
swept and orange sherbert punch
had to be made.
Finally there it was, finished! The
walls were covered with spring
scenes, the orchestra was surround-
ed by a small picket fence, the
ceiling was lowered with crepe pa-
per and right in the center of the
floor was a tall, fluffy white Easter
Bunny waiting for the music to
begin. A party at Mac's to finish
gallons of leftover punch and doz-
ens of cupcakes climaxed a success-
ful Junior Prom.
SENIORS HOLD
FIRST MEETING
D.H.S., Sept., 1952 — An ambi-
tious group of new Seniors gathered
in their home room today for the
first class meeting of the year. First
on the agenda was the election of
officers. Those elected were Presi-
dent Elaine Macomber, Vice Presi-
dent Carl O'NeiL Secretary Joan
Walker, Treasurer Donald Linde.
The class unanimously chose for-
est green and white for its colors
and the white rose for its flower.
SENIOR ClASS PLAY
That Brewster Boy, a three act comedy, was presented by the Senior
Class on Thursday night, October 30. About a young boy, Joey Brewster,
who thought his friend, Pee Wee, needed more experience with the female
sex, the play was a tremendous success. Along with the weeks of hard work
in preparation we had a good many laughs. We remember Johnny Poo
Poo's hat, dice games, the radio backstage, five minute breaks, Steve's plaid
shorts, food in the closet, the portable Crosley, Ernie's for pizza, ticket sell-
ing, the gift for Miss Stover, and the party at "Wee Pee" Barker's to celebrate
our performance. We had the cooperation of Mr. Bassett and his boys for
the set, Mrs. Harrison and the Dramatic Club for the makeup, and individuals
from the class for committee work. Is it any wonder that the press gave us
enthusiastic notices?

MUSIC
Since our Freshman year, all music at D.H.S.
has been synonymous with Mrs. Wansker. She has
capably and enthusiastically directed the Boys' and
Girls' Glee Clubs, the band and the Girls' Choir.
The Duxbury High School Band was organized
by Mr. Donald Leach in 1949. It grew rapidly and
was soon playing its first march, "Over the Top."
In the past four years our band has played at many
of the basketball games, for the P. T. A., for the
Memorial Day Ceremonies, and for school assemb-
lies. In 1951 the band marched and played in the
Fourth of July parade. When Mrs. Wansker took
Mr. Leach's place as band director she continued
to teach the band to play new songs and to march
while playing. The band uniform is green cordu-
roy jackets, white pants, green ties, and white
shirts.
"Boys' Glee Club tryouts in the gym on Thurs-
day." When this notice appeared in 1949 girls
giggled and wondered who the handful' of boys
would be that would show up for Boys' Glee Club,
an institution thus far unknown at D.H.S. The "hand-
ful" was twenty-five, and since then Boys' Glee
Club has been one of the favorite student organi-
zations.
Until 1949, Glee Club meant to the girls one
period a week when they could get together with
the music instructor for a bit of singing. When at
the first meeting Mrs. Wansker proposed several
concerts and an annual minstrel show, Glee Club
began to mean something alive, interesting and
worthwhile.
A third singing group is the Girls' Choir. This
small group specializes in three part singing and
"special" numbers.
Since the first P. T. A. performance of the GJee
Clubs there have been Christmas programs, more
P.T.A. meetings, and spring festivals of music. In
1952 the Glee Clubs and Choir presented a con-
cert at Pembroke High School. Perhaps the most
fun (and work) has been the annual minstrel shows
— "Circus Days", "Latin Holiday", and "Shipboard
Shennanigans".
Best of luck in the future to Mrs. Wansker and
to the music organizations which are such an im-
portant part of our school.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB
The Dramatic Club is one of the oldest and best organized clubs at
D.H.S. Under the direction of Miss Gray, this club started the Tournament of
Plays and the annual talent shows. In past years members of the Dramatic
Club have taken many trips to Boston to see such productions as Romeo and
Juliet, Mr. Roberts, and Where's Charley.
The same excellent work in dramatics is now being carried on under
the supervision of Mrs. Harrison. Whenever there is a play or a minstrel
show, the club always lends a helping hand. The D.H.S. Dramatic Club is
profitable not only for those interested in acting but also for those interested
in the technical side of dramatics. A member has experience in the techniques
of directing and acting as well as in make-up, prompting, lighting, props
and publicity. To learn as much as possible about stage presence, voice, and
stage craft is the Dramatic Club's goal.

STUDENT COUNCIL
Some form of student government has long
been a part of the Duxbury schools. The old Pow-
der Point School had one of the first limited student
governing systems in the United States.
In 1945 the D.H.S. Student Council consisted
of a small group carrying on with a limited type
of student government.
In 1946 the Student Council reviewed the prac-
tices and consitutions of other high school councils
by observations and correspondence. The purpose
of this thorough study was to set up a workable
student council. Results of the study proved suc-
cessful.
In 1949 the Student Council was set up to act
only on those matters that concerned the student
body through the rules laid down jointly by the
administration and the council. Matters of admin-
istrative dicipline and policy are not the business
of the Student Council.
At the same time the Student Council proposed
a marshal system to help the students maintain
business like conduct in their school life. The in-
troduction of an effective marshal system resulted
in real improvement of school citizenship.
Shortly afterward a student court was formed
by the Student Council for the purpose of hearing
complaints of students and exercising judgment and
punishment in those matters that pertained to stu-
dent government rules and regulations only.
In 1950 a Junior Council was established through
the student council which functioned as its coun-
terpart in the Junior High School. At the same
time the Council experimented with a small school
banking system.
The Duxbury Student Council has always felt
that a comfortable financial condition is akin to
self-respect. It has sponsored many activities to
maintain this condition, including winter movies,
magazine drives, suppers, dances, and auctions.
The D.H.S. Student Council has established an
enviable reputation for itself as shown by the fact
that the Constitution and plan of organization have
been requested by many schools. Our own plan
is being used as far away as Alaska.
Our present council is headed by President
Edythe Pyy, Vice President Peter Barker, Secretary
Ann Wentworth, and Treasurer Carl O'Neil.

SPORTS
U 1 I I
BOYS' SPORTS
GIRLS' SPORTS
SOCCER was started at D.H.S. in 1949 and our
class contributed four first team players — Don
Linde, Lloyd Ferrell, Clayton Ricker, and Don Bar-
bosa. The team showed great promise for the com-
ing years and in 1950 won a good share of its
games under the able direction of Coach King.
1951 marked the inauguration the South Shore
Soccer League which includes Pembroke, Kingston,
Norwell, and Duxbury. Althouh '53 dominated
the lineup and Don Linde was named all-scholastic
in Massachusetts, we lost the championship to Pem-
broke in a play-off. In 1952 we lost the champion-
ship again — this time to Norwell by one-half
point.
The 1950 BASKETBALL season was one of the
most successful ever completed in Duxbury. After
defeating Kingston in the South Shore Tourney, the
team played at the Tech Tourney in Boston Garden.
In 1951, having lost all but one member of its
championship team, the Green and White, under
auspices of Coach Blakeman, ended up with a fair
record. They entered the South Shore Tourney and
the Small Schools Tourney. Although Don Barbosa
was the only sophomore on the team, many others
showed promise.
In 1952 a fourteen game schedule was started
in the South Shore League. Claytie Ricker and
Lloyd Ferrell co-captained a team which, although
still rebuilding, managed to beat Kingston, our
traditional rival. In the South Shore Tourney, Dux-
bury won its first game but lost its second. At the
end of the season we had a wonderful basketball
trip to Old Saybrook, Connecticut.
Senior year we reported for basketball a few
weeks early so that our new coach, Mr. Rothfuss,
could get a look at us. Jack Ricker, Peter Barker,
Jack Soule, Steve Denyer, and Steve Loring were
the only veterans on the team, and Red Nathan, a
newcomer, was added to the squad. With Jack
Ricker and Peter Barker as co-captains, the Green
and White started out like a "house afire" but the
fire slowly went out and we ended with five wins
and nine losses. Entering the South Shore Tourney
for a second try, we won our first game but lost our
second.
In our Freshman year Claytie Ricker and Don
Barbosa played first team BASEBALL, and the squad
won three out of seven games. 1951 saw Peter
Barker, Don Linde, Lloyd Ferrell, and Jack Ricker
playing varsity ball for the first time, but both the
1952 seasons were disappointing. Finally on May
13, 1952, the team won the only victory for D.H.S.
in two seasons.
The '53 girls are certainly not lacking in athletic
prowess. Five of them — Martha Allen, Barb Hul-
bert, Anne Kent, Elaine Macomber, and Virginia
Peterson — won their first varsity letter in HOC-
KEY during their freshman year. The team came
out third in the league race that year, and in 1950
the hockey team won the first girls' banner to be
hung in the D.H.S. gym, a co-championship with
Marshfield.
1951 was a record season — no team scored
more than two goals against us. The last game,
a heart breaker, saw Scituate top the previously
undefeated green and white by scoring one goal
in the second period to rob us of the championship.
The 1952 season also had an unhappy ending.
Again we- dropped the final game of the season
and the championship, this time to Marshfield.
Championships are not everything, of course,
and there were rnany lessons to be learned in
sportsmanship.
BASKETBALL has always seemed to appeal to
all classes at D.H.S., although the girls' teams dur-
ing our first two years were not very successful.
The day of our first game in 1952, Coach Coleman
came to D.H.S., bringing with her a new type of
zone defense, the ability to coach well, and luck*
for our hoopsters. At the close of the season we
had won eight games and lost four.
The spirited '53 team was made up of experi-
enced players with a reliable reserve to draw on
for subs. Undefeated until we dropped our 11th
game of the season to Marshfield on Friday the
13th, this was a year in which the spectators finally
became interested in girls' basketball. Losing our
last game of the season to Scituate by one point,
we lost the chance for a championship play-off.
During our four years at D.H.S. the most suc-
cessful team, banner-wise, has been the SOFTBALL
team. In 1950 the team won half of its games, a
fair record, and in 1951 it topped Hanover at
Marshfield to win the championship. In 1952 the
team hit, fielded, and ran its way to a second
League Championship.
Started in 1951, TENNIS, a young sport at
D.H.S., is becoming a spring favorite. Contrasted
to the original five interested in this sport, there
were eleven candidates for tennis this spring.
Coached ably by Miss Coleman, last year's team
played matches with Scituate, Plymouth, and Hing-
ham. We confidently expect that another season
will see us champions in this sport, too.
