CANAL CURRENTS 13 school members and very few were found to have any trouble at all. Dick” Jordan of the Freshman class was placed “hors de combat” in one of the early football practices with a fractured collar-bone and until recently travelled with his arm in a sling. The Seniors held a dance at the Town Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 21, which proved very profitable to them in the aspect of gaining money for the Washington Trip. They also held a food-sale on Saturday, Oct. 24, with good results. The combined school orchestra of Bourne High and Sandwich High has come together again under the supervision of Adolphe Querze, supervisor of instrumental music in Bourne and Sandwich. They made a big step in advancement on Oct. 31, when they broadcast from Boston through station WEEI. They presented a splendid program of music and made a fine showing. Mar- jorie Adams featured the program with two solos accompanied by Rita Gannon of Sandwich. Every year there is much trouble to select a name for the Junior Magazine. This year it was decided to pick a name for the magazine which was to be used each year, for the benefit of all. Much trouble was found in selecting an agreeable name and finally the selections narrowed down to four. These were put before the school during an assembly Tuesday, November 17, and the name “Canal Currents” was chosen by ballot. You can, therefore, tell the magazine when you see it as it shall always bear this name. The Dramatic Club is preparing to put on a play, “Come Out Of The Kitchen”, to be given on December 18. The cast is as follows: — Leading man — Donald Fisher. Leading lady — Irene Taber. Russell Wentworth, Richard Jackson, James Peebles, Bernard Hyllestad, Earle Chase, Constance Pope, Verna Jacobs, Florence Crosby, Marjorie Adams. The play is being coached by Miss Tapper. The Juniors’ class rings arrived on Monday, Nov. 16 and the Junior class pupils are now laboring to get their money paid in in order that they may get their rings. The rings are very popular. They are gold, with a black onyx stone on which is the name of our school.

12 CANAL CURRENTS The second week of school we found that a new course had been installed. This new course is the Zaner Method of Penmanship and is being taught by Miss Marr. She has a large class which meets in Room 2 each Monday and Thursday. Many examples of different one’s ability have been placed on the bul- letin board in the lower hall and are very attractive. Through the cooperation of Mr. Coady and Mr. Porter, president of the Bourne Kiwanis Club, we were given a talk by Dr. Simpson of New York on “Health.” He was in town to speak to the Kiwanis Club and through the efforts of the afore- mentioned he was persuaded to speak to us. His talk was enjoyed by all. The class officers of this year are as follows: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Student Council Member President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Student Council Member Freshman Raymond Chase Susan Crosby Beatrice Dill Beatrice Dill Ethel Wentworth Junior Edward Sanford Margaret Hyllestad Marjorie Adams Verna Jacobs William Palmer Sophomore Ugo Tassinari Irving Gibbs Samuel Wagner Barbara Hunt Samuel Wagner Senior Bernard Hyllestad Thomas Stockley Bernice Cunningham Harold Colbeth Margaret Ortolani Once again the magazine contest was held between the two teams, the Reds and the Blues.
