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.

Boiiime High Football 19 4 6 BOURNE 25— YARMOUTH 6 The Bourne High boys were victorious in their first game by trouncing Yar- mouth under their cleats. 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.
