20 APTUCXET Milia Puukka — Owner and Manager Florence Burrows and Margaret Ortolani Star Performers for this week only. Well-known on Broadway as “The Giggling Twins.” “Carolyn, last Sunday afternoon an aeroplane landed here to refuel and I went over to speak to the pilot. Who do you suppose it was?” “I don ' t know, I’m sure.” “Bernard Hyllestad, out for a little spin in his new aeroplane that his father had given him when he graduated from Annapo- lis! He had a certain friend from Brighton with him. They had just come out for the usual Sunday afternoon ride and had decided to see Old Cape Cod a moment.” “What are you doing now, Carolyn?” “I’m teaching Geometry at East Greenwich Academy. Mr. Coady and Mr. Peebles always said that they had never seen or heard of another pupil like me.” “The other day Bernice Cunningham and Arlene Thompson gave me the pleasure of their company. Bernice is Dean of Lin- coln Academy, and Arlene is the Latin teacher.” “Friday I met Marie Crosby, Nellie Dill and Virginia Brackett in Wareham City. They are stenographers in Flora Phinney’s millinery shop.” “Earle, have you seen Hope Swift or Albert Johnson lately?” “Yes, they are both coaches at B. H. S.

BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL 19 CLASS PROPHECY OF 1932 L eaving Monument Beach was a sad and hard task. I had been home for a visit and was now on my way to the Monument Beach flying field to make my return trip to East Greenwich. Upon arriving at the flying field I met Earle Chase, who was the pilot of my plane. Not having seen each other for a long time a conversation started. “Have you heard or seen anything of the class of ' 32? I asked him. “Yes, I met Grace Spofford and Edith Wood in their radio shop at Buzzards Bay last Tuesday. Edith said that they had just sent a new radio up to B. H. S. to replace the one they ruined during their Junior and Senior years.’ ' “Carolyn, do you know Pearl Henshaw and Gwendolyn Gibbs are running a classical dancing school in Buzzards Bay over the new “Quality and Price Shop?” Keeping up the talent of the past.’’ “No, I didn’t know that! Who runs the “Quality and Price Shop?’’ “Kenneth Griffith is owner and manager, and says he soon hopes to have a chain of “Quality and Price Shops’’ across U. S. Have you seen the morning paper?’’ “No, why?’’ “I saw in the morning paper where George MacQueen had won a law suit against Russell Wentworth. George brought the case against Russell for running over his prize Guernsey with a motor- cycle. George is the owner of the Bay End Farm and “Putt’’ is running a motorcycle factory in the town of “Head-of-the-Bay.’’ Harold Colbeth was MacQueen’s attorney. “Earle, I was thunder-struck when I went into the “Five and Ten’’ at Sagamore City. I met Henry Quattromini, the owner; Constantine Coppi, his floor-walker, and Reginald Swift, the manager of the toy department. Mr. Nagle always said Coppi would make a good floor-walker !’’ “Well, that may seem funny, but I received more of a shock when I went into the “Bournedale Night Club’’ and noticed the sign at the office door which read:

BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL 21 Donald Fisher and Tom Stockley run a radio station. Donald does the announcing (Miss Dill always thought him a great talker) and Tom signs and cracks jokes! Earle, look! A plane has landed! Do you know who the pilot is? He looks familiar. Why, yes, that’s Dick Jackson. Something seems to be the matter. Please excuse me a moment. (five minutes later) Carolyn, I have some more news for you. Dick just took Har- old Weeks to the Pocasset Hospital. Harold broke a leg and an arm when he crashed in his new plane, but he will be O. K soon, because Helen Roza is his nurse. What a tragedy! Speaking of Dick reminds me of Lester James. What became of him? That’s right, too. Well, Carolyn, I’ll have you to know that B. H. S. graduated Yale’s star basket ball player! We leave here sharply at 2:15 and it’s 2:10 now. There is the plane you are going in. While I’m making my reports, you had better hop aboard. ‘Thanks for giving me all the news, Carolyn. It was a real pleasure. I hope you enjoy your trip. Thanks, Earle, it was a pleasure to me, also. Goodbye. C. F. L.— M. E. C. COOPERATION WITH OUR ADVERTISERS T he greatest source of aid to students publishing a maga- zine is from the business men of the community. These men are the ones who give necessary advertisements and often help the school by buying tickets to various school benefits. The student, however, rarely reciprocates. When they buy clothing, things needed in the home, or even automobiles, they go to the stores of the city whose residents care very little whether the students go to Washington or make the school magazine a success. This is not the proper cooperation which, in these hard times, is more necessary than ever before. The local merchants suffer from the results of this manner of trading. Every high school student should strive to cooperate with those who help them most and are most interested in their welfare. Harold L. Colbeth ’32
