CANAL CURRENTS, BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL School closed Wednesday morning, Nov. 23, for the Thanksgiving holidays. A com- bined Thanksgiving program and pep meeting was held, the latter for our final football game with Wareham. At the assembly the proclamation was read, sev- eral poems were spoken and songs were sung by the whole school. I close this year’s edition of the school news wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a pros- perous New Year. Betsy Small, ’40.

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
