12 APTUCXET The Home Economics department has established a new system of serving the teachers their lunches. We were very much disappointed when we learned that Miss Louise Mills had accepted a position in Winthrop High, ana that she would be with us only a few weeks more. Miss Mills was well liked by all, she was a good teacher, and a wonderful helper and sport combined. Miss Ruth Marr has filled Miss Mills’ position and has done it very well. The Junior class has elected its officers as follows: President Thomas Stockley Vice-President Albert Johnson Secretary Bernice Cunningham Treasurer Bernard Hyllestad Student Council Member . Harold Colbeth The officers of the Senior Class are: President Rodney Howard Vice-President Raymond Cook Secretary Marguerite Crabe Treasurer Doris Bellamy Student Council Member . Osborne Adams Sophomore Class: President William Aylmer Vice-President Marjorie Adams Secretary Sumner Braley Treasurer Rita Lindberg Student Council Member Charles Tobey And, of course, we must not forget the Freshmen. President Ugo Tassinari Vice-President Walter Avery Secretary Clyde Turner Treasurer Russell Swift Student Council Member . , Barbara Hunt The Dramatic Club was rehearsing for a play, “To the Ladies,” under the direction of Miss Tapper. Those in the cast are: Irene Taber, Raymond Cook, Anna Wagner, Carol Fogg, Albert John- son, Hope Swift, Frank Ortolani, Russell Wentworth, Harold Weeks, Charles Tobey. We have had a magazine drive, as probably all the parents know. The school was divided into two teams. Red and Blue. The Blue team gave the Red Team a party as the Red team won the contest by two subscriptions. Harold Colbeth injured a bone in his leg in football practice and has to tour the school on crutches.

BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL 11 SCHOOL NEWS W E, the Juniors of Bourne High School explored the school as soon as we arrived. The first place we went was to the sophomore room where we had enjoyed many pleasant periods with our dear friend and adviser, Mr. William Nagle, who has left us this year, we regret to say, to teach in Belmont High School. We were very much surprised to find the sophomore wall coming to meet us as we finished our journey. Our sopho- more room was cut absolutely in half and the office had placed it- self in the front-half of our room. Of course our next thought was what had happened to the old office in back of the building? We were greatly surprised to find a sink and some stoves there. Our first thought was that the teachers were trying to save some money to keep up their new cars and that they started by cooking their own dinners. But later we found out it was the Home Economics room. This is a great improvement because it was a nuisance in previous years to “tramp down to the B. G. S. in all kinds of blizzards and storms for our lessons. We noticed new radiators in all the rooms but we did not ap- preciate them until cold weather when you could very nicely take lessons in any room without supplying your own heat, — (by wearing all your outdoor apparel.) Mr. Coady has established an office upstairs so that he may hear all the “racket that the pupils make. He has had frosted windows put in it and an uncompleted wall which very stubborn- ly stops about two feet from the ceiling. Of course we have found out that all this was for HIS convenience and not ours. The missing wall aids him in hearing better our conversations and keeping us from causing any trouble. The frosted windows keep us from knowing where he is. Our next step was to find what teachers had returned and what new ones we were to meet. We found Mr. Peebles, Mr. Coady, Mrs. Moody, Miss Tapper, Miss Mills, Miss Dexter and Miss Bowman had returned. Miss Elizabeth Dill has taken Miss Mir- iam Bond’s place, since Miss Bond has gone to Cornell University to receive a “Master’s Degree. Miss Eloise Comtois has taken Mr. Nagle’s place. Mr. Walter Stahura has taken Miss English’s place and we can assure you he is a second Mr. Nagle. Of course we were very sorry to lose these teachers, but we are sure these new teachers are taking their places satisfactorily. As we continued down to the lunch room we found that they had remodeled the High School Lunch Room and had made it a great deal larger and more convenient.
