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.
