CANAL CURRENTS, BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL Basketball Miss Stapleton has consented to manage our basketball team also. The basketball season has just started. The team has not been chosen yet, but a large number of girls have reported for practice. We expect to play the following schools during the season: Barnstable Sandwich Falmouth Wareham Archery for the fall of 1938 turned out to be mostly a fresh- man sport. Those most interested were: — Elsie Amoral, Muriel Berry, Elizabeth Hammond, Claire Healy, Claire Jackson, Florence Jones, Jean Matheson, Caroline Quat- tromini, Lois Querze, Janet Wheeler. Among the upper classmen we find: — Mary Quattromini, June Cassels, Georgia Christopulos, Ruth Brownson, Nelly Crabe, Louise Coombs, Laurel Porter, Virginia Robbins. Mary Quattromini was elected manager. We hope in the spring to have both inter-class and inter-school competition, if possible. Watch out upper classmen. High scorers so far are Janet Wheeler with 6 arrows on out of 6, and a score of 28, and Eliza- beth Hammond with 5 arrows on out of 6, and a score of 27. What is more — everyone of the girls has made at least one gold! 1 The girls have enjoyed the enthusiastic guidance in this sport of Miss Sylvia Putnam, our Home Economics teacher. Page Twenty-Nine

CANAL CURRENTS, BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL School News September 7 rang up the cur- tain on another school year. 8 A. M. found us all eagerly (?) crowding through familiar school portals, the freshmen, of course, looking as bewildered as usual. We extend a cordial wel- come to Miss Stapleton and Mr. Campbell, two new teachers on our faculty. Fate played a cruel hand Sep- tember 21, bringing an amazing and unexpected hurricane. This prevented school for one day and gave a shockingly low at- tendance for the next. This slight vacation was a pleasure to some but not so to others who suffered losses in the flood. The opening of school always brings plenty of dances — so a very successful dance was held Friday night, October 8. “The Night Riders” furnished the music which everyone thought was pretty “smooth”. An assembly was held the fol- lowing Tuesday, Oct. 10, in ob- servance of Columbus Day. Georgia Christopulos, Pauline Federici, Louise Gould, Ray Lindquist, and June Cassels took part in the program. Saturday, Oct. 15, another dance was held from 8:30 - 12. October 22, still another dance. October 27 found us all at a rollicking initiation given to the Freshmen by the Sophomores. Music this time was made to order by the “nickelodeon”. Sophomores on the committee were Ray Parrott, Bob Bassett, Alison Coady, Theda Walker, and Palmer Whittier. Mr. Sta- hura supervised. This fall we were greeted with a new moving picture out- fit equipped with sound, and many times we have re- joiced over shortened peri- ods, and gathered to see various pictures. Unfortunately the annual magazine subscrip- tion drive this year can be called a “flop”. We all wonder what became of that much talked about thing called “school spir- it”. However, the drive for mem- bership in the Athletic Associa- tion was better. The Juniors and the Seniors both obtained 100%. This brought each mem- ber of these classes a free pass to the Buzzards Bay Theatre. Miss Newington has already chosen a large group from the chorus to go to the New England Music Festival, that is — if they are lucky to be chosen again in Boston. Here’s hoping they all are able to go. It is a grand ex- perience which gives a dose of good hard work mixed well with a lot of fun. Page Thirty
