Bourne Hi li School Twenty-one Seated: E. Gavazza, R. Kerr, J. Courtney, C. Thamalis. Standing: R. Saisman, A. Byron, J. Young, D. Hunt. 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.

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.

Twenty-two Canal Ciarreirits 1947 Seated: L. Bachand, I. Rovatti, C. Jenkins, Miss Burns. Standing: D. Long, E. Gavazza, A. MacNally, J. Young, E. Harris. Mother s Prayer ’ CAST John Oakhurst Ophelia Oakhurst John Oakhurst, Jr. Calvin Oakhurst Clara Oakhurst J uDSON Harper Mary Barnett Thomas Baker SANTA CLAUS James Young Irene Rovatti Bernard Burns Emiliano Gavazza Carolyn Jenkins Edward Harris Lorraine Bachand Donald Long O N December 19, 1946, the Christmas play, A Mother’s Prayer written by Elorence Byron and directed by Miss Burns, was presented. 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.
