In this way we are hoping that this book will serve as a medium in future years to recall memories of our high school days. Bourne High School Three DEDICATION To Mr. Kempton J. Coady, friend, teacher, and one who has inspired our actions through our school days, we sincerely dedicate our year book. To Mr. James F. Peebles, who by his understanding and kindness has helped us through the beginning phases of life, we gratefully dedicate our year book.

The old Junior Room being too small for the class, we were trans- ferred into the study hall after the first day. With Mr. Gray as our class adviser and our newly elected class officers, who are President, James Young; Vice President, Edwin Crabe; Secretary-Treasurer, Hilda For- rest; and Student Council Member, Emiliano Gavazza; we set out to tackle our never ending problem, to earn money. Our two main features, of course, would be the Junior yearbook and prom. Before undertaking those two activities, we first put on a successful dance the night of the Case football game. Secondly, on December 19, we presented a Christmas play, which was written by one of our own Juniors. Dancing followed the play. The play proved to be a success, and we were asked to present it again at a Christmas party given by the Kiwanis on December 22 for the children of Bourne. Many members of our class were active on the Athletic field this year. Several of our boys went out for football and proved to all that next year’s season would find a great number of Seniors on the first team. The girls went all out for hockey and they could be seen starring on the hockey teams. Three girls from our noteworthy class were chosen cheerleaders also. The Junior boys also had a chance to show their stuff” in basketball. A large percentage of Junior girls made up the girls’ basketball teams. J. Young, H. Forrest, E. Crabe We received our class rings early in the Fall and although they were all rather big for us we managed to show them off to all the other classes. We started to collect class dues as soon as officers were elected It was agreed that fifteen cents per week would be enough. Several members of our class ha e had perfect attendance all year and others have been on the honor roll. We are proud of these fellow members and hope there will be a larger number in these groups next year. Our class is quite musical- minded and makes up a large part of Miss Taylor’s chorus. Among those who have appeared on pep rallies are Lorraine Bach- and, Alton Reynolds, Emiliano Gavazza, and Florence Byron. We are now making great plans for our Junior Prom. May 29, which, of course, will be one of the best — one you can’t afford to miss — so keep that night free. With our yearbook already to go to press, we all are thoroughly enjoying our Junior year.

A merry heart doth good like a medicine.” Twelve Canal Currents 1947 The Seeiors S EPTEMBER found the Seniors prepared to rule the lower classmen with an iron hand and that we did for the first few days but our kind heartedness soon got the best of us and we conceded to let our slaves go free. We returned to last year’s home room as the large Junior class pushed us out of the study hall. Settled in our old familiar haunt, along with our long-time friend and teacher, Mr. Stahura, we proceeded to select our class officers. They were Daniel Hunt, President; Louis Fougere, Vice-President; Nancy Stephenson, Secretary-Treasurer; and Alexander Byron, Student Council. Under the leadership of these competent class- members we set out to raise the much needed funds to enable us to make the annual trip to New York. Our first venture in this field was an All-Scholastic Thanksgiving Day Dance. As we had won that very important game of the season with Wareham one can well imagine the spirits that prevailed that evening. There was a large crowd of students from neighboring schools and an evening of dancing to Dave Fuller’s orchestra was passed gaily. Because of the want of wealth in the Senior class, Mr. Coady allowed us to take on the task of selling magazines alone. Leona Dwyer led the girls and Alec Byron, the boys and a race was contended to see who could sell the most subscriptions. The win- ner was to be treated by the loser. The so-called weaker sex finally won out and were treated to — (come to think of it, did those individuals ever keep their part of the bargain, girls. ) Well, anyway, a good profit was made on the whole drive and it enabled some of us to practice the art of sales- manship. We were very proud of our Senior boys this year in the sports line. Ten of our boys showed up as first stringers in football. They fought hard and much credit is due them for making it a success- ful season. The first team in bas- ketball was comprised of Seniors also, which created an impressive record. The girls are not to be forgotten as thev assisted in all the hockey and basketball games. Mr. Campbell took the two history classes on a tour of Ply- mouth one day not long before the Christmas vacation. We had a grand time visiting the Ply- mouth Rock and all the other historic places of that quaint vil- lage. The underclassmen stood back in awe when we arrived back at school singing Fortv- Nine Green Bottles” but thev soon were ioining in with us and it was worked so hard that day that we soon became tired of it. N. Stephenson, D. Hunt, L. Fougere Booririe Hagh School Thirteen Following the vacation we made plans for our class play. A three-act comedy, Ever Since Eve”, was chosen and was very ably directed by Miss Burns. Rehearsals started and one can not realize what actually went on at these but never the less the cast learned their parts ( w ' e often wondered if we would ) and the play was a great success. We will not forget Leona Dwyer’s and Louie Fougere’s wonderful pieces of acting as heroine and hero. Nor the fierce figure that Dannie Hunt cut as the police- man or the flirtatious southern belle played by Sheila Phillips. The supporting cast proved that they could perform wtih ease also. Two teams headed by Emily Bigelow and Richard Forsythe vied for top honors in the sale of tickets for the performance with Emily’s team finally winning out. The attendance and the profit made on this activity was the largest of any previous affair of this kind. One can be sure that we are certainly puffed up about this record. Time flew by and the date for our long aw ' aited trip to New York arrived. We attended many radio broadcasts, Carousel ”, Ice Time”, Statue of Liberty, and other points of interest and entenainment. It can be safely said that it was one of the hap- piest times that this class has ever participated in. We are now looking forward to graduation wdth a little sadness and yet great hopes for the future. First row. R. Wing, A. Cardoza, M. Dodd, C. Young, N. Fhilbrick, R. Remick, S. Harding, S.

Fourteen Canal Currents 1947 The Sophomores O N the morning of September 9, 1946, fifty-one new sophomores came tramping into the school building. We came upon many new faces in the corridor but they were merely freshmen. We did try to help them accustom themselves but we found they didn t quite seem to appreciate our helpfulness. We had forgotten that we were ever as perplexed as they were but our upper classmen, the Juniors, tell us we were. Upon entering our homeroom we found Miss Burns, a new teacher, waiting to greet us. Of course, a new instructor brings forth new tricks but she soon quelched them and we were well behaved students from then on. One of the first things she did say to us though was that she didn ' t believe in too many demerits. We agreed with her on that point naturally. The first thing we did was to elect class officers. We chose Charles Thamalis, President; Peggy Rattray, ' Vice President; Diane Douglas, Secretary-Treasurer; and Robert Kerr, Student Council Representative. These officers went right to work and introduced the paying of class dues. This is the first time that a Sophomore class has ever started the system to enlarge their treasury. In October came our Halloween Party. We weren’t allowed an initiation ( you lucky Frosh), but we did manage to give a swell party. With the able help of Miss Burns the gym was attractively decorated with the customary witches on broomsticks, black cats on the back fences and jack-o-lanterns. Prizes were awarded for the stunt dances and refreshments were served to all. Again we demonstrated that we were not a class to lag behind in competitive race when 100% of the class bought season tickets to the games. This was just a repetition of last year and each member was allowed a pass to the theatre. It was also football time and several of our boys went out for it, among them Charlie Thamalis, who won a spot in the starting lineup. The second team was made up of many Sophomores and they all made a fine showing. The girls hockey teams consisted of several Sophomores. Basket- ball season rolled around and again the boys gave a g reat per- formance. Dick Anderson, Roger Layton, and Lewis Ferretti strengthened the second team. Looks good for the future! We were very proud of our girls as they showed their pro- gress in basketball. Three of them earned first team berths. The boys have now turned out in full force Momriie Ha h Scliool Fifteen for baseball and the girls for soft ball and a successful season is being awaited. All in all we think our class proved its worth in the field and on the court. On February 22nd, we held a Cherry Tree Dance. Attendance was poor because of a snowstorm but all who were present agreed that it was fun. As there was such a small crowd the dance was very much like a large party — quite informal — stunt dances were held and movie tickets were awarded to tne winners. Also in February, eight of the girls journeyed to Plymouth to play in the tourna- ment. We defeated the Plymouth Sophomores, . 6-10. Eleanor Harding chalked up 25 of the points. We were served ice cream afterwards. We then went hunting for bubble gum. We got results, too. A ring committee was chosen and when the gentleman came they picked out three of the best looking rings and we chose the one that we all agreed upon. Now we can hardly wait until next fall when we shall have them on our fingers. Our sophomore year has been fun and now we are looking forward to the rest of the year and our Junior year at Bourne High School. II i 1 i| I I 1 m H 1 i| 1 rirst row. L. Bower, C. Tucy, S. Raymond.

Sixteen Cainal Carreiits 1947 The Freshmee A bout eight o’clock one morning last September a group of forty green, shy, in- experienced, and scared Freshmen stumbled up the steps to Bourne High School where they were directed toward the Freshmen home room. Although students came from both Bourne and Sagamore Grammar Schools, we had one of the smallest Fresh- man classes ever to enroll in Bourne. After a few days of confusing classes, study and home rooms, using the wrong stairs, on the advice of the upper classmen, we settled down for the year. It has proved to be a very busy year with elections, parties, all kinds of sports, plays, dances, . . . yes, studies too! Under the direction of our class advisor, Mr. Clayton Campbell, we held election of our class officers. By a very close vote the following were elected to lead us through the Freshman year: Richard Salsman, President; Carol Dwyer, Vice President; Theo- dora Thamalis, Secretary and Treasurer; and Judith Courtney, Student Council. The elections have proved to be very satisfactory. We had our first class meeting and it was decided that we would start early to raise money for our many future school activities. Previous Freshmen classes had never undertaken the collecting of class dues but nevertheless we decided on twenty-five cents a month. On October 1, 1946, a Halloween Party was held in our honor by the Sophomores. The only purpose of this party was not for our pleasure but to enable them to initiate us. These parties always seem to please the upper classmen ( could it be that they like to see us suffer ) . The hor- rible rumors from everyone made us all wonder what was in store and to dread the thought of the approaching date, but this fear ( as we later found out ) was all in vain. To our amazement in- stead of being initiated we played games, ate refreshments, saw mov- ies, and danced. Only a few boys in our class have shown prospects of becom- ing promising athletes, but in the future we are confident that we shall have the stars. On the other hand the girls were very active in the line of sports. They con- stituted a large part of both the first and second teams in hockey and basketball. The girls have shown us that now and in the future they will go all out for sports. During the month of February a team of girls from our class went to an interscholastic tourna- ment at Plymouth. Although we were not as fortunate as the Soph- omores and the Juniors, who won, we lost with the satisfaction of R. Salsman, T. Thamalis, C. Dwyer having done our best to win. Bourne Hi h Seliool Seventeen We are very proud of the salesmanship of the students in our class. A prize of five dollars was to be presented to the Freshman who sold the most Senior Play tickets. Conrad Nowlan outsold the other students and won the prize. Raffle tickets for the Athletic Association are now on sale and another one of our classmates, Joanne Byron, is showing us her selling ability. So far she is way ahead of everv ' one in the school and it is very doubtful if anyone can catch up to her. We are now approaching the end of our Freshman year at Bourne High, which has been one of our best years of school. We have gained a rich experience and a sense of great loyalty for our classmates and our school. Our class is looking forward to next year at Bourne with a great anticipation and we are glad to be coming closer to being called upper classmen. First row. E. Berriault, M. Bigelow, R. Smalley, C.

Numerous changes were made including the enlarging of the book, the introduction of a patron page, and an adver- tising staff consisting of Elwood Benson, Samuel Holt, Natlie Porter, Arlene Handy, and many other juniors. These students worked industriously recruiting ads for this yearbook and much credit should be given them for its success. All literary works were discontinued this year and the book is exclusively a yearbook, containing many more pictures than usual. Our desire is that many more new and better ideas will be inserted in the yearbook in future years so that it will be so perfected as to be an ideal yearbook.

The Stiiideet Comiicil T his year’s Student Council consists of seven boys and one girl — two representatives elected by each class. The representatives of the Freshmen class this year are Richard Saisman and Judith Courtney; Sophomores, Robert Kerr and Charlie Thamalis; Juniors, James Young and Emiliano Gavazza; Seniors, Daniel Hunt and Alex Byron. The main problem that is left to the Student Council to solve is a way to keep order in the cafeteria during the lunch hour. This year they have a new system wRich, so far, has proved itself quite wonhy. Also, they have the power to give a slip to any student who acts disorderly, doesn’t clean off his tray, or leaves his table untidy. The Student Council also had charge of the Christmas program put on during December. It was very weU conducted and proved to be quite a success. During the month of October the Student Council attended a Student Council Association Meeting at Plymouth. First they were served a generous dinner of chicken and vegetables, and later had a meeting to discuss various subjects concerning the Stu- dent Council and its activities. After attending this meeting, they were invited to a dance which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Before we left, however, the Plymouth students provided entertainment in which they took part. The Student Council en- joyed this visit to Plymouth, and expect to go again in April. Twenty-two Canal Ciarreirits 1947 Seated: L. Bachand, I. Rovatti, C. Jenkins, Miss Burns. Standing: D. Long, E.

The stage managers, Alfred MacNally and Elwood Benson, did much to make the play a success. The plot centered around John Oakhurst, Jr., a handsome sailor boy who was overseas. Clara and Calvin, his teen-aged brother and sister, often got into quite true-to-life arguments. On Christmas Eve, a kindly old neighbor, Jud Harper, came over to ask about John and to leave some gifts. While Mr. and Mrs. Oakkhurst went Christmas shopping, Tom came over to have Calvin help him with his Trig, while Mary and Clara eagerly discussed a cute sailor who was the tall, dark, and Dunbury type.” Early Christmas morning, John sneaks into the house, falls asleep and is discov- eted first by Clara and Calvin, next by his father, and finally, at the climax, by the happy mother who falls into her son’s arms.

To Johnny she isn’t at all very helpful and she is always getting in his way. When Johnny becomes edi- tor of the school paper, he never dreamed he would have to put up with Susan and Betsy. To top it all off, Johnny came down with the measles, and Susan, being the help- ful type, did her best to put out the school paper. To Johnnv ' s dismay Susan made a few slight changes of her own. These changes got Johnny and Susan in much trouble with their friends and teachers, but in the end everything turns out the best for everyone. 1 wenty-four Canal Ciurrents 1947 First row. K.

Athletic Association E arly in the fail, we elected our Athletic Association officers, and those chosen to lead us were: Kenneth Jenkins, President; Glynn Compton, Vice President; and Sheila Harding, Secretary and Treasurer. Season tickets to all home games were printed by our own print shop and sold to the pupils. The grammar school pupils were allowed to buy a ticket this year. Under the leadership of Mr. John Gray a group of boys and girls sold refresh- ments. A booth for selling admission tickets was constructed by Bernard Burns and Charles Thamalis. Other things sold by this group were purple and white feathers, and programs, which included a list of the players from each team, their weight, age, and number. The idea of refreshments was carried over into basketball season and coke, pop corn, potato chips, and peanuts were sold in the check room during the halves of the games. We appreciated the fact that these pupils and Mr. Gray so willingly sacrificed their time to help make this new business venture a success. They worked diligently and were able to see only parts of many of the games. Plans are now being prepared for the annual Athletic Banquet which will be held in the high school cafeteria on May 22. The dinner will be planned and served by Mrs. Viik and her home economics depanment. Two pupils from each class have been chosen to speak at the affair. We are hoping it will be as successful as in previous years. As this yearbook goes to press, raffle tickets are being sold for an Electric Leonard Refrigerator, R. C. A. Table Radio, and a Philco Table Radio. The drawing will be held on May 29. JBoiirrae Hi li Scliool Twenty-five First row: J. Wallace, A. Reynolds, E. Harris, £. Bigelow. Second row: A. Handy, A.

Orchestra ' TpHE Shawme Orchestra is composed of students from the Bourne and Sandwich Schools. The student of music and the musical student are both able to profit greatly from this organization. To the student player it affords an opportunity to play in a large, well-directed orchestra under the leader- ship of the capable conductor, Mr. Adolpho Querze. Rehearsals are held in Bourne and Sandwich alternately, on Monday evenings. Transporta- tion for Bourne students to and from practice sessions is furnished by the Activities Bus. During the course of a scholastic year, the orchestra plays at several public school affairs. Already it has played at Sandwich and Bourne Senior Class Plays and is looking forward to the annual spring concert at Bourne High School, and Senior Graduations and Class Nights of both schools. Mr. Querze Twenty-six Caeal Ciirreots 1947 School News TT was a brisk September morn and all was astir in Bourne High, for school had com- menced again. The air was filled with talk of summer activities, and, of course, it wasn’t long before the changes on the teaching staff were noticed. Mrs. Viik had left and Miss Frances Burns was our new English teacher. Miss Helen Bartley took over in the home economics department for Miss Turne r, as did Miss Mary Kilday in the commercial department for Miss Flood. We also discovered the absence of Mrs. But- ler and Miss Clark, their positions being filled by Miss Helen Whiting and Miss Phyllis Taylor, respectively. Mrs. Rachel Campbell was our new freehand drawing instructor. Those meek little Freshmen were soon wandering around the building rather at a loss, and the Sophomores were as helpful as any Sophomores could be — getting their underclassmen more mixed up than ever. The Juniors couldn’t refrain from letting the fourth-year students realize their presence. The mighty Seniors (so they say) just sat in the Senior Corner and gloated over all. Football practice was not long in getting started, and games were soon under w ' ay. Before each game, a pep rally was held in order to send our team out for a vic- tory. Several of these meetings were held during basketball season also. During the summer, Mr. Coady contacted an agency and arranged four educational assemblies. As the first of this series, Mr. Eric Williamson, a well known deep sea diver and underwater cameraman, told us of his unusual experiences and showed films of a few of his numerous voyages. The biology students saw in these motion pictures many of those queer sea urchins and other aquatic animals and plants which they had studied in class. It was an enjoyable and worthy assembly. The second was very entertaining with Mr. Pitt Parker performing for us. Mr. Parker did several chalk drawings, depicting objects from different points of view, talking as he went along. He had us all watching him in wonder as he drew one picture full of many beautiful colors. No one could imagine what it was until, at length, he turned the paper around and it proved to be a picture of Niagara Falls. We all agreed that it was a very interesting program. Mr. William Wallace came to our school and astonished one and all with his ability to memorize so clearly. He was able to add, subtract, and multiply numbers involving no less than five digits in his head, never using paper and pen at all. He also proved to us that he had memorized each and every page in the latest Sears and Roebuck catalogue. We are now awaiting the fourth of the series which will take place on April twenty-second. Boiarime High School Twenty-seven Among the few extra assemblies given during the year were ones presented by the Registry of Motor Vehicles, Red Cross, and the Dupont Company. Mr. Harry Avery also showed motion pictures of Boys State in 1946. In these we w ' ere able to pick out a couple of the Bourne boys who attended. Great improvements have been made in the print shop, and a course in printing has been set up as a part of the regular shop course. Mr. Rich and many of the boys have been kept busy on jobs practically all year and they do excellent work. In the early part of our school year, tuberculosis tests w ' ere given the students in order to locate those persons who had a positive reaction of the germ. Only one girl, Dorothy Tripp, a post-graduate, was found to bear the germ. She was hospitalized, and because of discovering the disease in such an early state she is recovering rapidly. Extra-curricular activities this year included the monthly paper drives conducted by Mr. Coady. Through the help of many boys and girls who have helped collect this scrap material and the townspeople who have contributed the scrap, the Athletic As- sociation has gained a large sum of money to be used for school activities. At Christmas time, Miss Taylor and a large group of high school students went caroling, hoping to bring the Christmas spirit to those shut in at this time. Mr. Keat- ing drove the purple and white bus for them. After several of our home games, football hops were given. The dance given by the Seniors celebrating the victory over Wareham on Turkey Day had the largest attendance, with many of the students from their school present. They all w ' ere pleas- ant get-togethers, and good times were had by everyone at these affairs. We are now awaiting the Spring Festival at which a Miss Cape Cod” is to be crowned, the Athletic Banquet, and the annual Junior Prom, all of which promise to be grand affairs. Commieiicemeiit Exercises JUNE 12, 1946 Eight o’clock, June 12, 1946, found thirty-six excited Seniors, clad in the custom- ary caps and gowns, standing in the lobby of the high school auditorium. As the pro- cessional commenced, they took their places, and, led by Louis Fougere and Eddie Alymer as marshals, marched proudly down the aisle onto the stage. Following the invocation given by the Reverend John Carter and a group of songs rendered by the girls’ chorus, Phyllis Harrison extended the welcome. Preceded by selections from the Shawme Orchestra, Rabbi Levi A. Olan addressed the Seniors and audience. His sub- ject was New People for a New Day”. The boys’ chorus sang a group of songs after Twenty-eight Canal Carreirits 1947 which the farewell was given by Jean Grant, and a piano solo by Thelma Rowe. Scholarships, awards, and prizes were then awarded by Principal Kempton Coady. Mr. Stephen P. Hayes, member of the school committee, presented the diplomas to the Sen- iors, and Vivian Trench led the class in singing their class ode. The mixed chorus presented a few numbers, and the benediction was then pronounced by the Reverend Carter. The happy, yet sad Seniors then marched out — happy to have completed this phase of their life so successfully, yet sad to be leaving their friends and school that they so cherished. Jiuiiior Pirorii The night was here. It was May 29th, and the Prom was on. A large number of couples were enjoying themselves, dancing to the tune of Jay Mando’s orchestra. The hall was gaily decorated with roses climbing trellises, and silhouettes of dancers on one side of the hall, and tables-for-four under an awning on the other side. The dance was well chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Coady, Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, and Mr. and Mrs. Campbell. A grand march was held, and during this the chaperones acted as judges and chose Isabel Perry as the Queen of the Prom”. It was a big success and the Juniors were quite pleased, as they had worked diligently up to the last minute preparing for the big event. Thirty Canal Curreots 1947 Virst row: R. Brightman, L.

Captain Kenny Jenkins led his team by scoring four touch- downs. Coach Butler proved he would make a good fighting team out of so-called green players. BOURNE 0— SOMERSET 0 Bourne met a tough rival on the home field on October 5. The two teams fought desperately for a score, but it was in vain. Both teams seemed to be running bn tread- mills. This contest was considered by most the best of the year. Bourne High School Thirty -one BOURNE 29— FRANKLIN 6 Bourne again dug up the home turf in its runs to victory. Francis Ojala showed superior running and racked up a score of twelve points. Captain Kenny Jenkins made many brilliant runs. BOURNE 0— CASE 19 On October 19 the Bourne boys were destined to lose their first game of the sea- son to a superior Case team. A number of costly fumbles forced Bourne backward though they held their overwhelming force to a fairly small scoring margin. I BOURNE 6— FALMOUTH 6 ! The Bourne team played its first out-of-town game at Lawrence High’s field. ! The Lawrence boys scored early in the game but could not make the extra point. , Although neither team acquired victory, Bourne claimed revenge when Jenkins ran over the last white stripe to a touchdown. Thirty-two Canal Ciiarreints 1947 BOURNE 19— DARTMOUTH 0 Bourne rapped out another home victory over the Dartmouth eleven by a good score. Captain Jenkins ran wild and scored 13 of the 19 points. Our one-year wonder, Fred Dunbury, scored the remaining 6 points. But we will give the Dartmouth boys credit for some good fighting. BOURNE 13— HOPKINGTON 13 The Bourne boys traveled their longest distance to tie a score with Hopkington in the western part of the state Jenkins scored seven of the thirteen points, and Ojala came up with the rest of the tally. But, try as they might, the boys could not quite grasp another point to win the game. BOURNE 19— WAYLAND 28 Bourne suffered its second, as well as its first, defeat on home grounds. Though Bourne tried hard, they could not keep Wayland from acquiring a nine-point lead. The scorers for Bourne were Louie Fougere, BOURNE 13— NANTUCKET 0 The Bourne boys took a boat ride that the next contest. Ojala and Dunbury scored the tally up to thirteen with an extra point, came out of the game with a broken arm. Fred Dunbury, and Dannie Hunt. was for the most part unwanted to get six points each, and Kenny Jenkins ran Danny Hunt met with misfortune as he BOURNE 19— WAREHAM 6 The annual Thanksgiving Day game at Wareham was a victory for Bourne. On the first play after the kick-off which was to Wareham, Morse of Wareham received the ball and ran over half the field for a touchdown. To retaliate. Captain Jenkins led the rest of the Bourne boys to victory, leading the scoring parade with three touch- downs. Francis Ojala made an extra point on a pass to bring the score up to the final nineteen.

Boiiree High Basketball OACH Butler surveyed a group of boys that had come out for basketball, and for the first time in his coaching career at Bourne he had to cut his squad. He picked his men carefully and made a good team out of them. With Kenny Jenkins for cap- tain, the Bourne boys were sure to go places, and they did. There were two off-the-record games to be played before Bourne would begin the regular season. The first was with Kennett, a New Hampshire team, and was played in Boston Garden. The Bourne boys were destined to lose by a 54 to 21 score. The second game was with the B. H. S. Alumni. The boys played left handed ball that night and lost by a 37 to 30 score. Now follows the scheduled games: BOURNE 49— WESTPORT 12 The first scheduled game of the season came when Kenny Jenkins led his team to a victory over Westport. Bourne started immediately in the lead with 16 points in the first quarter. High scorers were Jenkins and Ojala. Bourne Hi h Seliool Thirty-five BOURNE 54— SAINT ANTHONY 13 Saint Anthony was in for a streak of bad luck when it met Bourne. They were stopped on unlucky thirteen. Ojala and Jenkins led again in the scoring parade. BOURNE 30— YARMOUTH 35 Bourne’s first scheduled loss was with a team that previously had not been thought too much of. Johnson and Tripp led Yarmouth to victory as our boys fought desper- ately to hold them. BOURNE 29— ORLEANS 18 Our boys next fought Orleans and gained a victory over their highly rated high . school team. Jenkins, Long, and Ojala made 25 of the 29 points that won the game. That game showed us that our team could climb high if it got down to business. BOURNE 46— SANDWICH 28 The Canal boys stayed on home grounds for their next contest and came out of the game on the long end of a 46 to 28 score. Jenkins led his team with 17 points and Ojala followed with 10. McLaughlin led Sandwich’s scoring. BOURNE 40— PROVINCETOWN 54 Provincetown claimed revenge for the defeats given her by Bourne boys in the past years, despite hard struggling by all the Bourne teamates. Santos led their scoring run with 22 points. BOURNE 35— HARWICH 37 Harwich was on the victorious side of a closely contested game after an overtime period and a sudden death. The score was 30 to 30 at the end of the last quarter. At the end of an overtime period it was 35 to 35. The final point was scored by Harwich to win the game for them. High scorers for Bourne were Jenkins, Layton, and Ojala. BOURNE 29— FALMOUTH 66 The Lawrence boys started off in the first quarter of the game and chalked up 1 1 points at the end of that period. Smith, Cash, and Peterson scored 57 points for tlieir team. Jenkins and Ojala scored 23 points for Bourne. BOURNE 50— YARMOUTH 19 Kenny Jenkins led his team to avenge their loss of earlier in the season and came out on the long end of a 50 to 19 score. Kenny scored 23 points. Long 8, Fred Dun- bury 5, Danny Hunt 4. BOURNE 66— WAREHAM 22 Wareham came to Bourne High to beat us but went back quite a defeated team. Kenny and Francis were again high scorers for our team with a total of 36 points, each making 18. Long played in place of Jenkins for a while and racked up 10 points. Thirty-six Canal Currents 194T BOURNE 54— SANDWICH 36 Sandwich tried desperately to win a game against Bourne but all their efforts were in vain. Jenkins and Ojala really went to town along with the other boys to build up a score. McLaughlin was high scorer for Sandwich. BOURNE 33— BARNSTABLE 42 Bourne was barred from being victorious over the Barnstable five by 9 points. However, Jenkins and Long built up 26 of the 33 points made. Barnstable high scor- ers were Fish, with 16 points and Brown, with 13 points. BOURNE 53— WAREHAM 21 In the second Wareham game of the season, as well as the first. Bourne came out victorious. Despite War eham ' s Sutcliffe and Ryder, the Bourne boys made 14 points in the first quarter to Wareham’s nothing. Jenkins was high scorer with 23 points. BOURNE 43— FALMOUTH 40 The Canal boys avenged an earlier defeat by their old rival and grabbed the game by three points. Bourne took the lead early in the game and held it all the way only by bitter fighting. Jenkins again led the scoring parade with 20 points. BOURNE 61— ST. ANTHONY 34 The St. Anthony boys could hardly penetrate Bourne’s defense and could do little more than make half as many points as their foe. High scorers for Bourne were Jen- kins and Long. St. Anthony’s scoring was limited to 8 points in the second and third quarters. BOURNE 45— FAIRHAVEN 65 Our boys were beaten fair and square on the court of Fairhaven High. Braley, of their school, could not be held to less than 20 points though Bourne tried hard. They got their lead and held it very early in the game. BOURNE 36— FAIRHAVEN 33 The Bourne five showed Fairhaven on home grounds that they are to be reckoned with by coming out of a tough game on the long end of a 36 to 33 score. It was a good ending for a good season. INDIVIDUAL SCORING Jenkins 295 Ojala 107 Long 95 Dunbury 71 Forsyth 43 Hunt 72 Burns 12 Bourne High School Thirty-seven First row: E. Gavazza, R. Anderson, L.

She did a fine job of leading us victoriously through the season. With some veteran players, freshmen, and new members showing up for practices, we had an outstanding record to show at the end of the year and are in hopes of doing as well next year. The first team won six games and tied one wdth Middleboro, 1-1. The second team won three games and played a scoreless game with Plymouth. One game the girls don’t like to mention was with the football boys. Without fol- lowing our rules, of course, they won 3-0, but we overlook that game.

Girls’ Basketball O N November 19, forty enthusiastic girls showed up for the first Basketball practice of the year. After twenty had been eliminated, the others settled down for some hard practices on two or three days a week, preparing for the initial game on Decem- ber 17 with Falmouth. Both teams had a large schedule, the first team playing sixteen games, and the second team eleven. Of the sixteen games, the first team won eleven, tied two, and lost three, so this proved to be the second successful girls’ sport of the year. Of the eleven games the second team played, they won three, and lost eight. On February 26, approximately thirty girls went to Plymouth to take part in the Play Day, as was done last year. The Seniors lost, the Juniors won, the Sophomores won, and the Freshmen lost. After these games, refreshments were served by the Ply- mouth girls. The girls would like to express their thanks to Miss Whiting, who did a very fine job of coaching the basketball team as well as the hockey team. FIRST TEAM SCORES INDIVIDUAL POINTS FIR.

All girls who wished to try out for this position had been learning how to cheer and were prac- ticing for the previous week. Each girl had a partner and one pair after another, cheered before the students and the faculty. After all had cheered, the audience voted for the seven girls whom they thought would make the best cheerleaders. Three sen- iors, three juniors, and one sophomore were elected and it was not long before they were practicing old cheers and making up new ones. They found it much easier to get to all the games this year because they were al- ways allowed room to ride on the Purple and White bus. ( Much can be said for these bus rides, but we won’t go into that } . The girls found that it was not all fun but it was really work to cheer their team on, whether winning or losing. It was the sort of work that got one tired but it was a good tiredness. They will certainly miss the honor of leading cheers when they no longer have that duty, but they will be able to recall the joy it once save them.
