Canal Currents, Bourne High School Bourne High School Sixty Years Ago W HEN this part of the Cape was settled, and small schools and church meeting-places were built, there arose a problem concerning advanced education for teen-age children. For a time students went either to Wareham or Sandwich depending on which was nearer. The Town of Bourne paid their tuition and train-fare. Although the idea of high school” was considered with a great deal of opposition by some parents, it soon became necessary for Bourne to have its own building. The site chosen was in Buzzards Bay where the Primary School now is, and the playground was where the Catholic Church now stands. It was established in 1885, with thirty students in attendance. Among those in the first graduating class, in 1888, were Sara Gibbs of Pocasset, Harry Butler of Bourne, and Clarence Eldridge of Buzzards Bay. In the class of 1889 were Sadie Hathaway of Buzzards Bay, Edith Gray of Bourne, Howard Wing and Harry Handy of Cataumet, and Chester Kendrick of Pocasset. Among those in the class of 1890 were Eben S. S. Keith of Sagamore, Nathan Bourne of Bourne, Grace Blackwell, Harvey Jones of Bourne, Frank Bray and Foster Bray whose father was foreman at the Keith Car Shop, Herbert and Walter Eldridge of Bourne. The first principal of this school was Mr. Bullen, a very good disciplin- arujn. He was strict and firm and no pupil dared overstep him. He believed that a child old enough to be in high school ought to know how to behave. Page Eighteen
