CANAL CURRENTS, BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL Douglas (Wrong-way) Corrigan Yesterday was the 22nd birth- day of Douglas Corrigan, the wrong way flyer. Why did this young man take such a perilous chance or was his compass real- ly “off” as he said? Here is an- other aviator who was glorified and worshipped overnight. He must have endured great loneli- ness flying over that vast ex- panse of water. How young and yet how courageous he was. He had faith in his $300 an- tique plane. And he was the only one to have faith in the “flying orange-crate” as they called it in California. The United States government would never have issued him a license to fly that plane across the Atlantic, ten long years after the “Lone Eagle” had crossed it in the same type of a plane. We must pay tribute, look up to, and re- spect the courage of Douglas Corrigan, a flghting Irishman. Kempton Coady, ’40 Future Of The Motion Picture The future of this very im- portant phase of entertainment lies, more or less, in the hands of the public. At present the pub- lic seems to approve the devia- tion from the “boy gets girl — boy loses girl” theme. The pic- tures with the most box office appeal are practically without exception, pictures of exceeding- ly good quality. Many of them are based on historical events, biographies, classics. If not they usually run to the light, enter- taining, crazy comedy variety. Motion pictures can be won- derful educators to the general public. Those based on fact stimulate interest in the lives and works of great people, the ages in which they lived, great events in history. Educational pictures are be- ing used increasingly in schools for teaching purposes. They are heartily welcomed, for it is much easier to fix in the minds events which have been witnessed (via the screen), rather than studied from a textbook. June Cassels, ’40. Page Twenty-Five

There was a show- ing of about twenty-five girls for practice and we worked up a good two teams out of this number. We played Tabor Academy, Barnstable, and Plymouth. We were unsuccessful in winning any of the games in spite of the girls trying hard. Hockey Squad R. W. Alice Coradi Josephine Cardoza R. I. Barbara Berry Marjorie Jenkins C. F.
