EDITORIALS Canal Currents, Bourne High School Patriotism Patriotism. This is a subject that people have a tendency to degrade by describing people whose so-called patriotism” is only skin deep. It is a subject that is played up too much, for everyone is saying that he is doing this and that, or that everyone should do this and that because it is patriotic. Patriotism. It’s buying war bonds and stamps; it is making sacrifices willingly, no matter how large or how small; it’s smiling when the tears are ready to fall; it’s being uncomplaining in the face of trying incidents; it’s be- ing willing to be rationed on our luxuries or necessities; it’s being cheerful and ready to help everyone; it’s thinking of those who are dead and dying, and being silent when a word of rebuke is only too ready to spring from our lips; it’s believing in our government, and seeing that something good will come of all their rules and regulations even when they seem impractical; it’s helping to keep the morale up on the war front, the work front, the school front, and the home front. Patriotism. It’s all these things, and hundreds of other little things. It’s a word with many meanings already, but every true American is adding his own definition to the ever increasing list. Helen Murray, ’43 That Old School Spirit Friendship Instead of Fear” might well be our school motto. The feel- ing of friendship creeps into even the darkest and most remote corners of Bourne High School. The teachers go seventy-five per cent of the way to meet the pupils on a perfect basis of understanding. Every airplane needs a pilot who knows every part of it. This pilot must be progressive enough to profit by new ideas and inventions. He must have a balanced head, love in his heart for even the smallest part of his plane, and he must be able to take criticism. The ship would never be able to leave the ground if the pilot did not understand, help, and work along with the other members of the crew. Just such a man is our superintendent. We are indeed fortunate to have such a wonderful staff of teachers. The standards to which they make us live will enable us to climb higher and to fit more easily into the positions of our choice. In no other school of our size is there a wider variety of subjects. Music, art, and sports are so familiar to us that we forget that they are privileges. In spite of our privileges, there is something lacking, not with the teach- ers or the superintendent but with us. We are slackening and forgetting to push forward toward our goals. Let us get busy, and put some new fire into that old Bourne High School spirit. Catherine Handy, ’44 Page Fifteen
