Ho-hum! School started on September 9 at Bourne High School. We were happy to welcome our teachers, Miss Dill and Miss Tapper, back from their most enjoyable trip abroad. Things ran along smoothly with nothing exciting until the Christmas party just before the holiday vacation. Instead of the usual exchange of gifts among the pupils, baskets were filled for charity. We came back from our vacation on the 4th of January, refreshed and all set to start working again. On February 4 the Seniors presented the play “Through the Keyhole” which was a great success. The donkey basketball game between the Kiwanis Club and the High School Faculty was very amusing and enjoyed immensely by all who attended. The outcome was a great surprise because neither side had kept score. March 11, 12, and 13 the New England Music Festival was held in Hyannis. Bourne High was well represented both in the Instrumental and Choral groups. March 15, Bruce, The Magician, entertained the school Vs ith various illustrations and sleight of hand tricks. March 17, Mr. Stahura took his Science Classes to the flower show. All enjoyed the beautiful display. March 20, The Older Boys’ Conference met in the Audi- torium of Bourne High School, bringing together young men from all corners of the Cape. Phillip Neal, a member of the Junior Class was elected vice-president for the coming year. April 3, The Older Girls’ Conference was held at Fal- mouth. Thirty-five girls represented Bourne High School. Marion Avery, of the Junior Class was chosen next year’s vice president.

24 CANAL CURRENTS head. The inventor may have had such an idea when he in- troduced the umbrella. The umbrella is a good invention even if all the people of today do not make use of it. Of course, it’s better not to carry one, especially if one is in a crowd, or if the wind is blowing. It seems to me that there are more women than men who carry umbrellas. There may be several reasons for this. The chief one being that men think it is a nuisance, while the women want to protect their hats and therefore do not mind the extra burden. Whatever the real reason for the invention of the um- brella, it was a good one. Jenny Consoni, ’38.
