Perhaps everyone would not agree with me on this statement, but let him experience it just once and he’ll surely change his mind. He’ll get wet through — certainly — he may even have a few sniffles af- terward, but what of it? Rain has its moods, just as we do. It can come quietly, so that one hard- ly knows when it comes at all. Re- freshing rain, that is, washing the air slowly as if it never cared to stop. Rain can come as a relief after a long drought. Coming, it seems, for the sole purpose of moistening the ground. It hastens down as if it were in a hurry to finish. Rain is cruel, at times, and rules with an iron hand. It pours down in buckets” as if it were simply falling from force of duty with no desire other than to fulfill its duty. It will undoubtedly rain yet this af- ternoon. I wonder that today’s mood will be! It has been holding out so long that it will probably pour down simply because we expect it to. Rain is a living thing to me, like trees or grass or even people, and I love it. I have walked with it in its many moods and now I pass my ex perience on. Look upon rain as a friend who washes the air and who moistens the ground. Rain is our constant stand- by; without rain — nothing. Phyllis Stockley, ’41. What Are You Planning To Do? What are you thinking of doing when you leave school? Every pupil in school should be thinking of what he is going to do after he graduates. There is a line of work for you, me, and everyone else in school; therefore you can’t say, There isn’t a kind of work suited to me,” because there is one if you are ambitious enough to find it and work toward it. There is enough work to keep every person in this country above minor age occupied. Then don’t be a lazy, good-for-nothing loafer, because there is no excuse for it. Many people say that in order for one to get a good job, a college edu- cation is needed, but I think just by having a high school education that you can get a long way toward a good paying job, and this education is free to us. We ought to be thankful for living in a country such as ours because in many European countries you are put into the army or the nursery school for the army as soon as, and sometimes before, you are out of school. School education isn’t free in every country as it is here. Be ambitious and not a worrying loafer, and you’ll find many oppor- tunities open to you. Richard Berry, ’41. BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL Page Seventeen “Around The World In Eight Days” Around the World in Eight Days ' ’ was written by Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, his Navigator They took off from New York in a sleek streamlined monoplane early o le morning and were determined to round the globe. Hundreds turned out to see them take off. Their first hop was from New York to some place in Maine. From there they went to Nova Scotia. Their next hop which was from Nova Scotia to Ireland was the most dangerous hop of the trip. At Nova Scotia they filled up with gas and the most needy supplies. They had to take as light a load as possible so as not to handicap them in any way while over the North Atlantic. On their trip across there was thick fog and they had to fly with instruments. They hit many a hard storm while going over, and were blown off their course many times but they managed some- how to get back on again. If Harold Gatty hadn’t been the able navigator he was, they probably would never have found their course again. Gatty ’s place in the plane was up back, and it is said that he is the only back seat driver” that ever made good! The trip across the ocean took more time than they had allowed on their schedule. They couldn’t waste a bit of time visiting for they would have to speed up on the other hops to keep up with their schedule. Near Russia they ran into plenty of bad weather. They crossed the Pacific way up north so that they wouldn’t have so much ocean to span. They Ended finally in Alaska. There they had a difficult time taking off because their engine was so cold it wouldn’t start. Ice formed on the wings so that it made the plane heavy. Not many men besides Post could have made a safe take-off, but he did finally. From there they made a hop that ended on the same field in New York from which they had taken off. Their time for the whole trip was eight days and some odd hours. There were mul- titudes of people waiting at the field when they landed. They escaped the crowd and for several days afterward, rested up. I liked this book very much be- cause I am very much interested in aviation, and there is quite a bit of adventure along with it. Richard Berry, ’41. Modern Art This title may bore you before I begin, but to those of you who are interested please understand that this is not about the horrible jumbles of proportion and color today called Art. It concerns, as the title states, Modern Art. The art of America today is not portrayed on canvas , as one might suspect. The camera has taken the place of the artist’s pallette. The colors are the beautiful colors of nature cap- tured by a single click” of the shutter. Examples of this work surround us daily — in magazines, newspapers, books — even Art Galleries advertise Photography Exhibits. There is good Art and bad Art — good photography and bad photogra- phy. Rembrandt and Rubens were ex- amples of masters of art on canvas. Bruel and Bloomenfield are examples of masters of art on film. Whatever effect Rembrandt obtained by the stroke of his brush, a good photo- grapher today captures with a ray of light. Photography is Modern Art. Ruth Brownson, ’41. Page Eighteen CANAL CURRENTS Appreciation Did you ever stop to think what the word appreciation means? If you haven’t, you should. To me it means a great deal — something we should all have towards others who do things for us. Have you ever appreciated enough what your parents have done, and what they will be doing for you? Have you ever appreciated what your teachers, friends, and others have done to help you to keep up with others in life? How much better a place this w ' orld would be to live in if we all appreciated what others have done for us. Let us resolve to show a little more appreciation in the future for the many things which are done for us every day. Richard Gonsalves, ’41. Autobiography of a Pirate Having been born in a small fish- ing village on the sea coast, it was only natural that I should love the sea. As a youth I used to spend every idle minute watching the fishing boats as they docked or talking to old cap- tains who fascinated me with their yarns. As I grew older I was allowed to play aboard an old boat which had been pulled ashore to rot away. I loved this old boat and played that I was her Captain guiding her in a raid on a merchant ship. Soon I be- came exceptionally skilled in climbing riggings, manning oars, tying knots and even steering by a compass. At night, I would dream of being a great pirate whom no one could overcome. When I approached my fifteenth birthday I was allowed to go on a trading ship with my dad. Two years later our ship was captured and sunk by pirates, who took me prisoner. I was speechless with admiration when I met their leader for I thought him very brave. I remained with the pir- ate band for three years. Although I was brutally beaten many times I still looked up to the leader as my ideal. At last after I had learned all the tricks of the trade, I made my escape and two years later I had a ship and crew of my own. They called me hard and cruel for ships either salut- ed me or they were plundered and sunk. My reputation was that of the greatest pirate alive. My dream had come true. Today with these memories and my immense fortune, I am living my last years in a fishing shack by the sea. Every afternoon I tell yarns to a fas- cinated group of boys, remembering that I was one of such a group many years ago. Natalie Wright, ' 41. America, The Land of the Free For centuries America was regarded as the ideal country where freedom reigned. Foreigners swarmed hope- fully to our shores seeking a new and better life. They came because this country was pure and they could have a part in its prosperity and free gov- ernment. This is not a pure country today, for every human race in the world is taking part in our government. Our government is being slowly under- mined by communism, fascism, and other secret organizations under the control of these foreign powers. These organizations have their own political parties and are steadily pushing them forward. Other politicians are being swayed by them and unless this de- struction is stopped we are likely to find ourselves under a dictatorship with no active part in the welfare of our country. This is not freedom! Let us strive to regain our title of glory and be once more, America, the Land of the Free.” B. Natalie Wright, ’41. BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL Page Nineteen How Do We Learn? We learn from history that we learn nothing from history. How true this saying is. If we benefited by others’ experi- ence, if we learned from history, would the world be in the turmoil it is today? But supposing we were to benefit from the exploits of our an- cestors by knowing enough then not to step on dangerous ground, still, would we be satisfied? Indeed not. It is human nature to find these things out for oneself. Who cares if people say I told you so”? We want to learn for ourselves, to experience the thrill of discovery. Every experiment in our chemistry book has been worked thousand of times, yet every one of the twenty stu- dents in our class is going to work them for himself again, and is going to get a big kick out of doing so. We have to discover things for ourselves. It is human nature. Phyllis Stockley, ’41. Summer Boarders As soon as the rays of the summer sun touch them they come flocking to the country: young and old, thin and plump, they make up the queerest assortment of tourists imaginable. First, there is a quiet old lady who wishes only to sit in her rocking chair and knit. A congenial sort of person, she at once becomes a friend to everyone. Respect is paid to her in every possible way. Just the opposite, however, is the great inventor and ' what not,’ Mr. Jones. Middle-aged and plump, he wheezes through an account of his daring exploits, his newest time- saving devices, or anything at all that will make him the center of at- tention. On the shady side of the veranda sits the old maid absorbed in a thrill- ing love story, forgetful of her beau- tiful young charge, the debutante. Stretched lazily in the sun is that overworked young lady trying to catch up on her beauty sleep after her social fling. It is much too quiet here for her satisfaction for she craves excite- ment every minute. There’s no need of a chaperone in this lonely place,” says she. Anyone can guess who the gentle- man with the horn-rimmed spectacles is. All day he pores over thickly bound books, or crawls in the meadow near- by for bugs. A perfect afternoon greets the drowsy boarders until cries of de- light pierce the silence and bounding up the steps is Mr. Naturalist, dan- gling his precious find before him. What a queer group fate has thrown together here! No two persons are leading a similar life, or are in the same social group. It’s fun to try to imagine why each one chose this country boarding house for his or her vacation. I’ve tried very hard and I’m still trying to reach a reasonable con- clusion. I just can’t seem to. Can you? B. Natalie Wright, ’41. Let Us All Be Thankful What is the real meaning of Thanksgiving? Surely it is not just the good things we have to eat. To us Americans it cannot help but have a much deeper meaning, especially this year. We should give thanks that our country is not at war, that our boys are not in the trenches and our whole land in danger of air raids. The hungry in this nation are fed, the poor are properly clothed, and little children cared for. Our schools and other institutions are of the best. There is a chance for each and every one who wants to take it. On this Thanksgiving day, and in the Christmas Season coming, let us all be thankful we are United States citizens. Franklin Ellis, ’41. Page Twenty CANAL CURRENTS When Words Fail Me Many are the times that in the quiet of the evening I have gazed at one of Cape Cod’s loveliest sights — a sunset — impressing upon my mind every detail of its serene beauty that it might leave a place of loveliness with- in me — the delicate gold or silver edged clouds and the perfect blending of pastel colors. Each time I have tried to express in sound what I saw, but words failed me. Again, many are the times in the early morning that I have risen and gone out into the sweet freshness that the morning’s awakening brings into the air, filling my being — feeling awake, alive! It would indeed, be a futile effort to speak. Often has a kind friend done a thoughtful deed and although I am grateful, I can only stumble over words of thanks. Sometimes when a friend is hurt through some misunderstanding, I have tried to right the wrong, but the things that I could say to help won’t come until the opportunity is gone. Scenes, people, and happenings seem to make not only myself but words inadequate. What do you do, when words fail you? Isabel Handy, 41. “Count von Luckner” or “The Sea Devil” by Lowell Thomas The Sea Devil’’ tells about a boy who loved the sea but whose father wanted him to be a cavalry officer in the army. The boy’s name was Count Felix von Luckner. His father told him never to come back home unless he was an officer. The book tells how he ran away to follow the sea, and of the hardships and the ad- venture he had. When the World War started he enlisted as an officer in the German navy, and later was given command of an out-rigger. He slipped past the British blockade and sank a lot of Al- lied shipping before he was ship- wrecked in the South Seas. One time a ship wouldn’t surrender. He rigged up some stove pipes to look like tor- pedo tubes and then told them to sur- render or else he would sink the ship. They surrendered. It was a very inter- esting book all the way through and I enjoyed it very much. Charles Aylmer, ’41. Music of he Future Music is one of our fine arts involv- ing the very human soul. But in the future music will certainly be given us by machines. We have already had an opportunity to observe this change during our lifetime. We have wit- nessed the development of the phono- graph, the player-piano, the radio, and numerous other mechanical means of producing music. The most ultra- modern music-making machine is the pianoforte, which is able to create music by blending electrical vibrations. Such a great orchestral director as Stokowski seems to be gaining inter- est in his Westinghouse-Electrical me- chanical orchestra. He, like many other conductors, realizes which way the future faces, and he has now given himself almost completely over to scientific research in mechanical music. Mechanized music has done tre- mendous harm to the musicians, who formerly played at theaters and dances. Do we want our national anthem screeched at us through a loudspeaker, coming from a little wax disc running in circles? There is great doubt on the part of music critics, and people who appreciate good music, whether the world will overthrow this tendency to a mechanical age in the world of music. Stuart Macdonald, ’41. BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL Page T wenty-one Lighted Windows Is there anything in life quite so cheerful as lighted windows? Prob- ably many of you have just taken lighted windows for granted and never thought much about whether they were cheerful or not. But if one should stop and think about them, he would realize how much lighted win- dows really mean to him. If you lived across the street from a house where no one lived, which you were accustomed to see dark ev- ery night, wouldn’t it be a cheerful sight upon looking out your window some night to see that house sudden- ly come to life, with light blazing through its windows? If your car should break down some night and you were forced to hunt for the nearest telephone, wouldn’t lighted windows, gleaming through the darkness, be the pleasant est sight possible to you at that time? A man coming home at night from his work feels contented and grateful when he comes in sight of his home and sees lighted windows welcoming him and assuring him of his wife or family, as the case may be, waiting for him there. While out driving at night don’t you like to see the houses by the road- side all lighted up? And seeing them, don’t they gladden your heart and give you the urge to peek inside? To me lighted windows signify home and loved ones therein. Doris Landers, ’41. Why?— Do you often wonder why this event or that one happened? If you haven’t you must be an extraordinary person. From baby days up all have asked why”. The great educators of the country are asking why”, scientists are asking why”, and we are asking why”. Of course, we all aren’t ask- ing for the same answers. If you stop to think, you will find that there are numerous questions that are unan- swered and numerous answered ones. Why do we eat? To help main- tain life in our bodies. Why do we go to school? (How many of us have asked that one! ) We go to learn, or to gain a knowledge of the three essentials readin’, writin’, and ’rithmetic.” Why do we have wars? Some peo- ple say it is because life would be too monotonous if we didn’t have wars, and others say that wars are caused by some greedy country which is never satisfied. As for unanswered questions we have many, such as Why do we have dreams?” — Why does the Gulf Stream follow in the unusual course that it does?” — and many others. An- swers are yet to be found to these queries but still that word persists in coming out. I firmly believe that when we stop using that word many of us will stop learning, and civiliz- ation will suffer, because that word usually spells Progress”. Louise Coombs, ’41. Explorers to the North and South Poles Men like Peary, MacMillan, and Byrd, all explorers to the North and South Poles, are to be honored. These are the men who risked their lives a hundred times a day to learn the secret of the long dark nights in the Arctic; to learn the secret of the Eskimo’s ex- istence — not to bring fame to them- selves, but that the world too might learn the secrets of the Arctic, so that the world need no longer ponder but be as familiar with that region as with any other part of the earth. Admiral Richard E. Byrd is one of the greatest Arctic and Antarctic ex plorers. In the autumn of 1928 Byrd set out with eighty-two men, four ships, and four airplanes, to explore the Antarctic, arriving at Ross Ice Barrier on Christmas Day. In Febru- Page Tu enty-tu o CANAL CURRENTS ary, 1929, he discovered new land, and naming it Marie Byrd Land for his wife, claimed it for the United States. The North was in Peary’s blood. For eighteen years he hoped and worked, returning time and again to the Polar regions, learning from his failures, and always paving the way for the final victory. His wife shared his ambition, and spent several win- ters with him in the Far North where their little daughter was born. The child was called Snow Baby” by the Eskimos, because of her white skin. The expedition which finally reached the Pole was the eighth which Peary had made into the Arctic reg- ions. They had all been of much scientific value. Peary had explored Greenland, crossing its northeastern corner in one of the most remarkable sled trips ever made, and had proved it to be an island; he had brought home the great Cape York meteorites, the largest in the world. He had sev- eral times attempted to get to the Pole itself without success. For his final success he received great honors from nearly all important nations, and the United States raised him to the rank of Rear Admiral. Phyllis Stockley, 41. A Civilized World We, in this world today, consider ourselves at the highest peak of civil- ization it has ever known. As we sometimes think it over, however, many of us would delete this state- ment. It is true that during the last hun- dred years we have had many great inventions and a remarkable age; yet in the time of Caesar and before, the people had constructed buildings of great architecture and had many things that were far more outstanding than some things of today. The Great Wall of China, the Roman buildings in rural England and in the city of Rome, the Pyramids of Egypt all are examples of this. There is one question we can ask, and probably never will we receive the correct answer, That is, ' Will some of the world’s great structures of today still stand two thousand years from now?” Another thing that in my estimation, proves we aren’t so highly civilized, and which may be the down- fall of civilization, is the failure of people to get along with foreign peo- ple in neighboring countries. Twenty-five years ago some of the nations in Europe, large and small, got into a conflict that grew into a World War. The reasons for this were greedi- ness on one side and ignorance on the other — not being able to see the other side’s viewpoint. So the nations fought. They claimed in Europe through propaganda that this was the war to end all wars”. They said civilization would, as a result, progress, and man- kind would benefit. Yet, here we are with twenty-five years elapsed and the beginning of a Second World War. The same nations are involved because of practically the same reasons. If the present conflict develops into another serious World War it will be a great disaster for civilization. It will take many long dark years to rebuild. John Viirre, ’41. A Step on the Stair I. Published in 1913 by the Bobbs- Merrill Co., Indianapolis. II. A story of life after death. III. The strange possibilities of life after death — the experiences of one who died but was restored to life — a e set forth with a peculiar appeal in this strangely sympathetic story. The central figure is a physician who is stricken suddenly, sinks rapidly and dies, just before completing his big discovery. The story hints, but does not state, that this doctor’s ' big dis- BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL Page Twenty-three co very” was a cure for cancer. The doctor thinks, as he is dying, of his childhood life, of how he and his mother had been so dear to one an- other, and how they had fought pov- erty in a strange land all through the years of his youth. He yearns to see his mother again (she had died years before ) , and then he does see her, and they speak to each other, using the same terms of endearment that they had used forty years before. His mother leads him out of the hospital room and as they are passing down the hall he sees the night nurse drop a letter as she attempts to put it in her pocket — as the unopened letter lay upon the floor he could plainly read the sentences contained within, de- spite the stiff envelope and a flap of blank paper! A young house-maid coming towards them had left a door open behind her. The doctor looks downward, seeking his bare feet. There is nothing there! His mother hurries him out of the hospital and they rise above the city; the man feels all pain, discomfort, and tiredness leave him. She tells him that death is not at all what she had ex- pected, that his father and sister are there, and others whom he had known and loved; that dying does not transform people, It helps us, but it doesn’t change us into angels, as we used to think. This is but a step on the stair.” He asks if there is punishment for things done on earth, if the slate is wiped clean, and she answers him — ' Yes, dear, but it is the same hand that writes on the clean slate. Our- selves are our reward and our punish- ment; and we can’t escape ourselves.” They pass indistinct forms, of which he can distinguish only one, that of a little boy who at one time had been lame but who is now run- ning and jumping. In the distance his father and sister are waving and bless- ing him. but he cannot see them. His mother tells him that she does not know whether there are angels and that she knows very little of anything religious — We need faith here as much as on earth.” The son learns that they do not stay there because it is just a step on the stair which they leave as they left the life below; but joyfully and not in fear, for each step is higher on the stair.” His mother tells him they must part, only to meet later on, but that he may stay where he is or go back and finish his work. Sacrificing his own, wishes, he decides to return to the life below. His next experience is in the hos- pital room where he again feels the weight of his years and the ravages of his illness. After three weeks of convalescing, he tells the story of his discoveries in the life after to an old friend of his, another doctor, who supposedly had saved him from death, and proves it by the nurse and the letter she had lost. He told her where she might find the letter and while she is searching for it, he writes down the first few lines that he had read while the letter lay upon the floor and gasses them to the other doctor. The nurse returns with the unopened letter in her hand, he asks her to read the first few lines and tell them to the other doctor. She does this, saying that the author of the let- ter had died very soon after she had lost the letter. The doctor finds the written lines coincide with what the nurre tells him. and then he has to admit the man’s soul must have left his body, and that his experiences in the life after must have been true. Although my ideas are not in ac- cordance with some set forth in this story, I enjoyed reading the book very much and would recommend it as a thought-provoker to any adult.

BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL Page Twenty-seven GIRLS ' ATHLETICS Under the close supervision of Miss Stapleton, the hockey squad has made a record of which the school may well be proud. Hockey practices were held every Tuesday and Thursday. Our first team lost four games, and won three. We have A. Coradi, our enthusiastic captain to thank for most of the goals. All of the other teammates cooperated well with her. The crack sec- ond team still remains undefeated in their second year of playing. After most of the home games cocoa and cookies or sandwiches were served, to give us experience as hostesses. Many thanks are given to Mr. Coady for the idea, and to Miss Rodger and her helpers, for preparing the refreshments. Mem- bers composing her squad are: FRESHMEN: D. Dixon N. Thamalis H. Murray E.

Mr. Campbell is to be our coach, and with his help and the help of last year’s candidates and this year’s freshman girls we are quite confident of a triumphant season. Louise Coombs 1 1 School News : i On September 7, school began once more, bringing a new class of bewildered Freshmen into our midst — and ushering last year’s Juniors into their dignified (?) role of Seniors! The social season began with the Sophomore Party and Initiation of the Freshmen which was followed by dancing. Music was furnished by Davidson’s Orchestra and the nickel- odeon! Members of the committee were: — Kenneth Young, Muriel Berry, Esther Davis, Charles Tucy, Josephine Dean, Emery Chase, and Charles Anderson. This first social event was a great success — setting the pace for the many week-end dances that fol- lowed given by the Senior class, and the Athletic Association. The Armistice Day Assembly Pro- gram was presented by the Public Speaking Class under Miss Tapper’s Supervision. Mr. Henry Jarvis, Com- mander of the Bourne Post of the American Legion, was the guest speaker. The seniors had the highest per- centage in the membership drive for the Athletic Association. Each member of the class received a free pass to the Buzzards Bay Theatre. Pupils of the Junior Class elected for the Leap Year Dance committee were Natalie Wright, Alda Tassinari, Richard Davis, Vernon McKenzie, and Isabel Handy. The leap year dance is to be given February 29. Members of the Junior Prom com- mittee are: — Edgar Johnson, Robert Bassett, Hope Cristofori, Ruth Brown- son, Richard Jarvis, Robert Jarvis, Mildred Querze, Justine Cassels, Ali- son Coady, Raymond Parrott, Joseph Whitman. Miss Newington has begun re- hearsals for a Christmas cantata, The Nativity”. The members of the faculty are all going to assist in this produc- tion which will be given either Dec- ember 20, or December 21. A combination of Thanksgiving program, pep meeting, and movies was held on Wednesday, November 29, preceding our traditional game with Wareham. The program was as follows: — a talk by the Reverend Elbert S. Morford, the reading of the Governor’s Thanksgiving Proclama- tion, a Bible reading, and prayer, and the entire school singing God Bless America”. This was followed by the pep meeting, and football movies. School was dismissed at noon, for the Thanksgiving Recess, much to the de- light of the student body. The Senior Play, Jonesy”, a 3 -act comedy, will be presented December 15. The members of the cast are as follows: — Barbara Whittier, Gloria Salter, Harriet Wheeler, Laurence Barbeau, Charles Fuller, Constantine Christopulos, John Murray, Kirby Hayes, Virginia Mason, Helen Earle, Gordon Macdonald William Hill and Harry Gardner. Miss Tapper is the Director, the Business Manager is Tom Young, and the Stage Managers are Kempton Coady and Victor Parady. And now, I wish to extend to our readers, in behalf of the Junior Class, our wishes to you all for a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. .

BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL Page Thirty-one CLASS HISTORY ' W HILE looking through my memo- box” recently, I found a small notebook entitled: The Log of the Class of ’41 on Board the Training Ship B. H. S.” Its contents were of great interest to me. It read: Early in 1937 we swarmed on deck to begin our four years’ voyage with one of the largest crews the ship had carried under the guidance of Cap- tain James Peebles and First Mate Kempton J. Coady. With eagerness and grim determination we embarked on the first portion of our cruise. Rough seas marked the first few months but ended in a rollicking climax with our initiation in which the Kings’ of our class were crowned’ by their Sophomore friends. Tello Tontini was chosen as our class presi- dent. Many of our crew became seasick during our first ' mid-years’ but they soon regained their sealegs. Along with our diligent (?) work we found great pleasure participating in vari- ous sports, music, and dances. Smooth sailing, with the excep- tion of a few squalls, marked our first year and stamped us as sailors who could take it. After a two and one-half months’ shore leave we returned to our ship and resumed our course. We wel- comed a group of Freshmen and start- ed at once to make them feel ' at home’. Miss Stapleton and Mr. Camp- bell, new faculty members, were also greeted by us at this time. We elected Ray Parrott for our class president af- ter Franklin Ellis ' declined.’ On Oct. 27 our first big party was staged in honor of the Freshmen. Music was furnished by the Nickelodeon. The sea remained calm until the latter part of our journey when we were upset by a real storm. A great discussion arose concerning our class rings. War was in the air for the class members could not agree whether to have stone rings or gold rings. At l ast, after a long debate the gold rings were favored and a great sigh of re- lief arose among the faculty as well as our peace-loving friends. Another short vacation and then, Midshipmen, at last! Being on the second deck makes us feel quite proud. We are divided into two groups this year with Miss Marr and Miss Dill for home-room teachers. We extend a cordial greeting to Miss Rodger, the new Home Economics teacher, and to Mr. Rudolph, the new athletic coach, who has shown us the spirit of coop- eration and sportsmanship. Edgar Johnson has been elected Class President. This year we have been working on the Canal Currents’ and have had a great deal of pleasure doing so. The staff is working very hard to put out the best magazine ever. We have a Leap Year Dance planned and, of course, we are look- ing forward to our Junior Prom.” This is our biggest year, so ship- mates” let us make the most of it by doing our best. Also, let us hope that during these remaining years, we may encounter favorable weather for smooth sailing on the good ship B. H. S. Natalie Wright, ’41.
