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. . Ruth Brownson ' 41

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.

BASKETBALL Basketball practice has not yet started but I’m sure, in spite of the loss of several varsity members through graduation that we will come out at the top”. 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
