All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts.

THE PLAYWRIGHTS

Adviser; Lucie Butler, Literary Co-Editor; Miss Stover, Adviser; Lois Jenner, Editor in
Chief; Richard Ragazzini, Art Editor; Barbara Seaver, Layout Editor.
We have reached the goal toward which we
have been striving for twelve years — gradua-
tion. It has been a long and hard struggle for
many of us, a struggle which we are glad to
see end. There were times when we became
discouraged with .the books we studied, the
papers we wrote, and the marks we received.
With the exception of those of us continuing
our schooling, these labors and worries are
over. This is but one aspect of graduation and
a minute one. We should realize that gradua-
accomplished an important educational aim;
we have taught our brains to work and our
minds to think.
As adults we shall be expected to shoulder
responsibilities and to solve problems we never
had before. We will have to make decisions
about things far more serious than we have
yet faced. Above all we must be able to dis-
tinguish the right from the wrong, the true
from the false, and the advantages from the
disadvantages. We must weigh the facts. In
doing so, we will be fully aware that gradu-
ation is indeed commencement, the commence-
ment of the longer struggle of Life.
THE PRODUCERS
Your twelve-year-long rehearsal is over. Your pro-
ducers, directors, and technical advises have
coached you through arduous months of learning
and playing. You have missed cues, fluffed lines,
encountered interruptions, but you have progressed
steadily. Now, all you have been taught during re-
hearsals is behind you. Each one of you can play
the role he chooses, and each role, though maybe
not a leading one, can be important.
In this materialistic time, the props and settings
seem to dominate the individual dignity of players
on the stage — a lavish scene may often get more
plaudits than a well-played part. Sometimes we tend
to judge not by accomplishment and character, but
by possessions.
The script is yours to write, and you are audience
as well as players. If you can relegate the props to
minor places, put emphasis on character and indivi-
dual worth, give credits for knowledge, skill, and
service to the world, keep your respect for self,
and man, and God, who is your Final Critic, you
will have mastered, not the art of acting, but the
greater art of living.
Play the part first! Trim the stage last.
Mr. Hugh O. Macfarlane
Principal of Duxbury High School
Education has always been one of the chief con-
cerns of the people of Duxbury. As long ago as 1642
the General Court of Massachusetts established laws
concerning the education of her young people. This
date, it should be noted, was only a few years after
Duxbury had become incorporated as a town.
Through all the years since then graduates of her
schools have maintained this interest and have en-
deavored to provide better educational opportuni-
ties for the youth of the community.
You are now privileged to be numbered among
those who have graduated from the Duxbury schools.
It should be remembered, however, that with this
privilege goes a responsibility to maintain an active
interest in these schools in order that they may meet
the needs of generations to come. I urge you to
accept this responsibility and help continue our
traditional interest in education.

Helpful, precise, and enthusiastic.
Whenever ideas are wanted Helen
is sure to come through with plen-
ty. Subtle wit is one of her hidden
talents, as was seen in her demon-
stration of the ideal secretary.
HELEN MARIE APRIL
Facts alone are wanted in life.
Softball 1, 2; Field Hockey 1, 2;
Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; A.A. 1, 2;

Moody, athletic, and persuasive.
Chuck is the he-man of our class.
Although he is head-strong and
cannot be swayed, he nevertheless
possesses a gentle manner under
a gruff exterior.
CHARLES F. BENEVENTO
A few strong instincts and a few
plain rules.

14
Conscientious, reserved, and pleas-
ant. Jay always has a friendly word
for everyone. Although she is not
a book-worm, she deserves a great
deal of credit for her work in the
library.
Intellectual, dimpled, and lanky.
Peter can be recognized by his
casual cashmeres, dirty white bucks
and grey flannels. He is the baby
of our class and divides his time
between Belmont and the golf
courses of New England.
JANICE MARIE BORGHESANI
Kind words never die.

15
Enigmatic, dynamic, and candid.
Lucie's imagination and originality
are reflected in her handwriting
and her hair cut. Her enthusiasm
with the violin in our class play
is characteristic of her peppy per-
sonality.
Mischievous, tomboyish, and tiny.
Sissy is our class hellion and can
always be found in the midst of
the hilarity whenever a prank is
being pulled on someone. She is
outstanding in athletics, having an
equally good rating on the basket-
ball court or the softball diamond.
LUCIE LOW BUTLER

Musical, enthusiastic, and comical.
Cousy is our class comedian. He
has done a great deal of 4-H work,
and it is rumored that he has the
best herd of guernseys on the
South Shore.
Considerate, helpful, and respon-
sible. David is the electrician of our
class. Whenever there is a movie
to be shown or a play to be pro-
duced, David is there to man the
lights and cameras. He can always
be depended upon to do a job
well, as he proved by building the
set for the senior play.

DAVID KING CHANDLER
He tried the luxury of doing good.
17
Stoical, handsome, and puzzling.
Howard is one of the quietest boys
of our class. Although he is a dif-
ficult person to get to know, he
is a true friend to those who know
him well. When it comes to cars,
David is a whiz.
DAVID GERALD CHENEY
His bark is worse than his bite.
Basketball 1, 2; Soccer 1, 2; Base-
ball 1, 2; Marshal System 4; Year-

Sympathetic, soft-spoken, and viv-
acious. Tyke, although flirtacious,
is always available when a respon-
sible person is needed. Her gentle
manner is a blessing when things
have to be organized. Tyke has
all the qualities of a loyal friend.
JEAN BARBARA COPE
For softness she and sweet attrac-
tive grace.

Although she only came to Dux-
bury in our last year, her quiet sug- EVA LOUISE DIMOND
gestions and practical ideas have Her ways are ways of gentleness.
made her a wonderful addition to
our senior class.
Mechanical, witty, and slim. Russ
came to our class in our junior
year. This year we are just finding
out about his good sense of humor.
He can be recognized by his black
leather jacket and his sauntering
walk. He is very interested in tink-
ering with his car or any other
old car.
RUSSELL ALLYNE DOYLE
He said he knew what was what.

Independent, saucy, and sensitive.
Evie's chocolate brown eyes are
always brimming with merriment.
In a basketball game, class discus-
sion, or something in between, Evie
can be counted on to do her part
and do it well.
EVELYN JOYCE FERNANDES

Vivacious, loyal, and capricious.
Anne's round of beaus is famous;
every week she seems to have
found the one. Her endurance in
field hockey is well known, as is
her pitching in softball.

Reserved, domestic, and mysterious.
Although Jeannie is not the most
active senior in school activities,
she excels in her 4-H work. She
is well known to all of us for her
work with young children and for
her home-making abilities.
Sincere, unaffected, and pessimis-
tic. Ivy can be expected to stand
up for her opinions and is always
found in the vicinity of a practical
joke. She varies between being
completely serious and happy-go-
lucky.
JEAN LOUISE HUTCHINSON
Do as you're bidden and you'll

Petite, meticulous, and stylish. Loie
is our class fashion plate. Because
of her exceptional executive abil-
ity, she has earned quite a name
for herself around and about Dux-
bury.
Sophisticated, glamorous, and mu-
sical. Jan, of the beautiful red hair,
is best known as the girl with a
melodious voice. She is very poised
and yet overflowing with coquet-
tish pranks.
LOIS PRISCILLA JENNER
We always believe our first love
is our last, and our last love our

Straight-forward, affectionate, and
engaged. Anne made a spectacu-
lar showing in her senior year, not
only by starring in our class play,
but also by being the first one in
the Class of '54 to become en-
gaged. Her two outstanding traits
are good sportsmanship and con-
sideration of others.
ANNE ELIZABETH MARR
To love, cherish, and obey.

Flippant, fiery, and flirtacious. Tom-
my is a warrior on the basketball
court and a wit in the class room.
He is moody at times but it is not
long until his roguish grin appears
again.
THOMAS HOWARD

Conscientious, efficient, and shy.
Whether it is the Yearbook, a
dance, or a class play, Marion has
certainly contributed toward its
success. Famous for her blush, Mar-
ion, nevertheless, is not reticent in
class, where she always knows all
the right answers.

Loquacious, unpredictable, and en-
ergetic. Rags, with his humor and
love for baseball, will always be
remembered. He also loves the girls
but hopes they don't notice how
much. Although Dickie is often im-
movable, once he has started on a
job he will finish it to perfection.

Reserved, variable, and sparkling.
A glance at Barbie would hardly
reveal that she can be a bun-
dle of dynamite on the basketball
court, or a quiet, efficient worker
in class. However, by her pretty
face one can see that she is the
belle of the ball at any social
whirl.
Satirical, breezy, and tenacious.
Georgie always has a comment
about everything. Although his sar-
castic manner is often misleading,
George is really a pretty lovable
character.
BARBARA ANNETTE SALEY
There's no art to find the mind's
construction in the face.

25
Idealistic, understanding, and dra-
matic. Barbie always has time to
help someone. Perhaps this is why
she is continuously dashing from
one activity to the next. Her flighty
questions keep us on the edge of
our chairs while the teachers take
a deep breath and meditate.
BARBARA JANE SEAVER

Versatile, refined, and scientific.
Skinny and her fighting mice are
the talk of D. H. S. Her clear and
logical thinking has aided her in
becoming and remaining tops in
the fieTd of science. She also rates
high in athletics and is one of the
most popular members of the class.

Generous, changeable, and ironi-
cal. Muffie, like New England
weather, is stormy one moment and
calm the next. She is shy about
her talent as a pianist, and al-
though everyone has caught her
practicing her concertos at odd
moments, she still will not willingly
play for us.
SARA SOUTHWICK

Jolly, angelic, and glowing. Car-
olyn is the cheeriest member of
the class. When others are down
in the dumps Swiftie is always
there with her warm smile. She
is pleasantly plump, pretty, and
chock full of personality.

Stolid, laconic, and apathetic.
Around D. H. S. Jerry is a wolf in
sheep's clothing, but out of school
his true personality is revealed.
Herbie has little to say but what
he says is apropos, as he misses
very little of what goes on around
him.

these are not only the requirements
for membership in the National Honor
Society but its aims as well. This or-
ganization, which offers its members
educational trips, strives to improve
scholarship in Duxbury High. Although
its membership must be limited, there
is no limit in its influence on and its
challenge to all Duxbury students.

of assemblies, too, felt the effects of
this school spirit. We thank Mr. Jarvis
and his new young musicians and
know Duxbury will be proud of its
band this Memorial Day.

With plays spring and fall there is
no doubt dramatics have a leading
part at Duxbury High. Our Dramatic
Club not only sparks the interclass
competition in our annual Tournament
of Plays but takes the complete res-
ponsibility for this production. Make
up and properties are familiar words
to the Duxbury dramatist in late Octo-
ber and late March. In midwinter, after
the senior play, you will find him
studying the fine points of stage pres-
ence or searching for three one-act
plays suitable for freshmen, soph-
omores, and juniors.

teachers and books and went home to bed . . . that was
occasionally.
Suddenly it was five minutes of eight and the house
lights were dimmed. Inside everyone felt very shaky and
untalented. The sound of a violin was heard; Penelope had
started; soon Mrs. Reardon entered, then Marcia, Warry,
and Nana. Everyone was still nervous, but Essie cured
that with the laugh she brought as she entered. Our play
went on to more excitement and humor at the appearance
of Todd and Sherwin. We knew we had done a good job
when Lily received her round of applause. The climax
was the breakfast scene and the curtain came down on the
seniors' first performance of the year — a great success.
Our class adviser gave us roses for our good work. A
bouquet to Miss Stover for the help and patience that
pulled us through and a round of cheers for Mrs. Churchill
who always knew we could do it.

The curtain fell 10 years ago
On the class of '54
Each of us has gone his way;
We think of school no more.
New students climb the same old stairs
In the high school by the sea,
While we went out to earn our pay
And raise a family.
We traded in our comic books,
But that was years ago
New Yorker is the magazine
We go by now, /ou know.
And one night by coincidence
Something caught my eye;
And so I read the tiny print,
I can not tell you why.
"Friday night, November 6,
For just a one night run."
Why look, our senior play is back.
Every Family STILL Has One.
And so I packed a suitcase up,
And booked the fastest plane.
A holiday in old New York
To see our play again.
The very pretty stewardess,
Who greeted me so gaily,
Reminded me of by gone years,
For she was Barbie Saley.
The pilot who sauntered through the plane
Was really quite a flirt.
His shyness gone, who would have guessed
That he could be Herb Wirt.
I had hit the daytime flight,
Barbie later told me;
For if I took the plane at night,
David Cheney would have flown me.
Of all the cabs that I should nab
At La Guardia Field,
Russ Doyle drove this speedy hack;
Right up to me he wheeled.
Now George Searle-Spratt was one friend,
I'd kept track of through the years.
He had booked me reservations
At his hotel "The Mutineers".
While scanning through the evening news
"Helen April" caught my eye.
Now named baking queen of the year,
For her delicious apple pie.
As I glanced at the lobby desk
Evie was checking in.
Now she is a missionary
And travels, fighting sin.
At ten past eight I paced the floor,
As curtain time was eight.
In dashed, with novel number four,
Barbie Seaver— always late.
Can't you get us a taxi, please?
To the switch board girl, we said
But Sissy Carver, that old tease,
Told us, "Go drop dead."
Seeing Lucie's name in lights
Was like the good old days.
Tommy is her stage door Johnny,
And haunts the matinees.
We remembered well our classmate,
With disposition sunny.
It was Janice Borghesani
To whom we handed all our money.
She gave us a ticket in return
Which the usher took away.
Jean Hutchinson, her maiden name;
Coincidence, would you say?
Proceeds went to charity,
All help was volunteer.
Printed on the program:
"Benevento, financier."
As we read the program carefully,
Other names we recognized.
Anne Marr and Jeannie Cope,
Decorators, had advised.
Lights now dim, the play begins;
Befuddled Laura rushes in.
Action packed through all three acts,
The Senior Play is staged again.
Of course we all were prejudiced,
We had a right to be.
The lines were said much better
Back in 1953.
We started heading back stage
Right after curtain call,
When we recognized Pete Brown,
Still handsome, smooth and tall.
At this great producer's elbow
Stood another one we knew.
Critic, Mary Ivanoff,
Was asking for an interview.
We were waiting for an autograph
Outside of Lucie's door
When we noticed many other things
Which surprised us even more.
Star pitcher of the Yankees,
We used to call him Rags,
Had married a well-known chorus girl,
Con you blame him if he brags?
Another friend whom we knew well
Supervised behind the set.
David Chandler, you might guess,
Engineered the lighting effect.
Calamity has now arisen.
Anne Lee Hardy, make-up expert,
Read a telegram and fainted.
She was voted Broadway's flirt.
To the scene soon rushed a doctor,
Tall and blonde, we knew her, too.
Although this may have seemed to shock us
Skinny's plans had all come true.
Eva Dimond, now a nurse,
Ran to Dr. Skinner's side.
Skill and efficiency worked fast;
They soon had Anne revived.
Also there to see the show,
Which he easily could afford,
Was agriculture's Arthur Chandler,
Director of the Milk Control Board.
This prosperous executive
Extended invitations.
Hi I
He took us to the Stork Club,
Where he had reservations.
We sat and talked way into morn
And ate at Art's expense.
Then they turned the spotlight on
And entertainment did commence.
The singer had a lovely voice
And sang her second encore.
We recognized the bright red hair
Of singer Janet Kilgour.
The manager approached us,
Accompanied by his wife.
This man's wealth was fabulous
Carolyn wed him, you bet your life.
Next week's entertainer,
This couple later said,
Was pianist Muffie Southwick •
Whose fame was now wide spread.
Sitting across the smokey room,
Was a buyer, Lois Jenner,
Putting through a business deal
Over a lavish dinner.
When this party finally broke up
And all memories were recalled,
The sun had long since risen
And the moon had long since palled.
Once more at La Guardia Field,
I rubbed my sleepless eyes.
And noticed in the waiting room
Someone else I recognized.
Marion Pratt was traveling too,
And on her way to Spain.
Her boss was a Spanish diplomat.
Marion can't complain.
Now having seen the play revived
I must no longer roam.
The members of that senior class
Are all within this poem.
They play their roles successfully
And treasure me no more
With every year I slowly fade,
The Spirit of '54.
After twelve years our play is now
completed and the curtain is ready to fall.
Before the curtain falls we wish to call
forward the man who has helped us
through our last two years. As juniors
he was our homeroom teacher, as seniors
he is our friend. Even though he has
taken a tremendous amount of kidding
about his bald spot, we all think he is
wonderful! To you, Mr. Rothfuss, the
class of 1954 dedicates it yearbook.

Please keep the houselights dimmed
a moment longer. Would Miss Stover
come on stage? No bouquet could be big
enough to say, "Thank you" for all she
has done for our senior year, as both our
senior play coach and yearbook advisor.
To you, Miss Stover, we also dedicate our
'54 Partridge.
