General statistics follow: Four- fifths of the football squad was composed of our rugged male individuals, three-fifths made up the first team in basketball, and a large group has welcomed in the baseball season. Our feminine classmates are by far not inactive; two are cheerleaders, and a great number of lassies appeared at basketball and field hockey practices. The majority of these reached first and second team ranks. The remainder of the class, not active in sports, showed their loyalty by turning out as faithful rooters at all games. Thus proves our athletic ability. The two literary feats of the year — the newly-born newspaper, and revolutionary Junior yearbook are ably staffed by journalistic-minded Juniors. In spite of extra- curricular activities, the Honor Roll displays a long list of Junior names — establishing our high intellectual status to all doubters. But modesty intervenes, and we shall re linquish unnecessary boasting and relate other undertakings sponsored by our humble group. The annual Thanksgiving Dance was fairly successful in view of the fact that it was not a Victory Dance: hence purple and white fans were not as gay as in former years. A number of Wareham students brought life to the evening, however. Though ticket results neither fattened nor reduced our slim treasury we were not disappointed. Plans for other affairs are in the discussion stage to strengthen the aforementioned weak financial standing. THE EVENT of the year, the Junior Prom, is scheduled for early May, and this year ' s should be a real success. Class meetings are headed by President Charlie Thamalis, serving his 2nd term in office, while Roger Layton, Vice-President looks on, with Diane Douglas as secretary taking notes, and Peg Rattray, treasurer, campaigning for payment of those lagging dues. Bill Whittier does his bit by acting as Student Councilor. Our handsome rings arrived shortly after first semester had begun, and we were well pleased with our choice. Some of the boys must not have liked theirs, though, for they promptly appeared on chains around the necks of certain girls. These three years at Bourne High have passed quickly, but they are ne’er-to-be- forgotten. Next year we shall have taken that step in- to the social world knowing that we are prepared to face its problems bv the lessons we are now struggl- ing with. Our teachers have been grand. We wish to ex- press our aopreci- ation Particularly to Mr. Gray, whose guidance as adviser in our Freshman and this, our Junior year, whose aid and assistance with our year- book. have in- spired us to great er efforts.

' IJrs 1 wenty-four Canal Currents - 1948 The Seniors O N September 8 the Seniors stalked back into their home room with a look of dominance and superiority. We settled down as we had a busy year ahead of us, but we never let anyone forget that we were mighty Seniors. We immediately set forth to elect class officers who have proved to be helpful, friendly and beneficial to us. They are President, James Young; Vice-President, Alfred McNally; Secretary and Treasurer, Hilda Forrest; Student Council, Mills Gavazza. At our first class meeting our new president, James Young, and with the aid of our class adviser Mr. Walter Stahura, we decided we would pay twenty-five cents a week for class dues. It was also decided that we would give the first football hop of the year after the St. Anthony game on September 27. It turned out to be a victory dance and everyone had a wonderful time. This year as always the Seniors had their share of fellows out on the football field and the basketball court. In football the team was sparked with fellows like Mills Gavazza, Donald Long, Alfred MacNally, Benny Benson, Eddie Crabe, Butch Handy. As was expected a majority of these boys again turned out when basketball season tolled along, plus our ace guard Garry Salsman, who did his share to bring glory to the Senior Class. Two educational trips, one to the historical landmarks of Plymouth and Duxbury, and one to see the Freedom Train in Providence, increased our knowledge and our pride in America. In all due respect thanks should be given to the so-called weaker sex for their part in athletics. Hockey season found Flo Dixon, Carolyn Jenkins, Lorraine Bachand, Dot Melvon, Flo Byron, Ernestine Tobey, Carol Manchester out on the field practicing whole heartedly except of course when Coach Osgood wasn’t looking. These girls fared well on the basketball court as was expected with about the same girls who turned out for hockey. We are proud of the loyalty, courteousness, and school spirit displayed by these girls. With thoughts of the class trip in mind everyone agreed we should do something to raise funds. On Dec. 6 we had a food sale which turned out to be a huge success. It was decided that in order to get more people we would have a sale in each section of the town. A large profit of $175 was taken in and we were very pleased with the outcome. The school or- chestra’s playing was enhanced by the talents of Ar- lene Handy, Flor- ence Byron, and Joyce Wallace.

They are Barbara Condon, Lorraine Bachand, Carolyn Jenkins and Florence Dixon who realizing that this was their last year did much to make this a good and memorable one. At pep rallies held each Friday during football season by a cheerleader many sen- iors took an active part and helped to make them more entertaining. Talent galore seems to be bursting out all over our class. The class play, Spring Fever , presented on March 12. upheld the school’s reputa- tion for fine dramatic productions. The long-awaited class trip to New York City in April was as great a thrill as we had hoped. It was a complete success in every way. As graduation approaches we look forward to life with a sort of sadness. We have enjoyed these past four years and are thankful for all the help and advice rendered to us by our friends and teachers. We sincerely hope the following classes will have as much enjoyment as we have had, and retain as many fond memories. First row. E. Small, V. Coppi, E. Tobey, A. MacNally, J. Young, H. Forrest, E.

We felt pretty big upon entering the Sophomore classroom. Now was our chance to make the Freshmen as uncomfortable as we were the first day of school. The first job we undertook was the election of class officers. With the aid of Miss Burns, our teacher and class adviser, we finally selected the following people to head our class: Quintin Coppi, President; Joanne Byron, Vice President; Teddy Thamalis, Secretary-Treasurer; and Richard Salsman, Student Council. At our first class meeting we discussed the collection of class dues. After many arguments we finally agreed on thirty-five cents a month. In October we held our Halloween party in honor of the Freshman class. Again with the help of Miss Burns we chose various committees and decorated the gymnasium with witches on broomsticks, pumpkins, cats and various other customary Halloween decorations. We danced, played games, and between times refreshments were served to all. We drew a large crowd and our party turned out to be a great success. Very few boys in our class have shown prospects of becoming great athletes, but as the years wear on we are quite sure that we will have many outstanding stars in the field of sports. Of the boys who went out for football Quintin Coppi was about the only one who stayed with it the whole season, so that makes us quite sure of at least one good football player in our class. The girls on the other hand were just the opposite from the boys. Quite a few of the Sophomore girls did go out for hockey this year, and I’m sure that you’ll find many star players among them. As it stands now it looks as if the girls will be the great athletes in our Sophomore class this year. As we advance nearer to the middle of the school year, practically everyone is be- ginning to think about our new basketball season. In contrast to the number of Sophomore boys that went out for football, a great number went out for bas- ketball. Under the able coaching of Mr. Butler and Mr. Campbell, many of our boys have material- ized into capable ball players, despite the fact that many had no previous experience. The girls’ basketball season is now well under way as well as the bovs. The first night of prac- tice. practically every Sophomore girl was out there. On the whole, our class is taking an active in- terest in school activities. Left tu right ' . J. Byron, Q. Coppi, T. Thamalis. During the beginning of this year we welcomed four new members to the present Sopho- more class. They were Edward Hatch. William Waterhouse, Lorraine Cooper, and Roberta Campbell. Bourne Hi ili School wenty-seven After our Christmas vacation we were all very sorry to hear that Dick Salsman, our Student Council Member was in the hospital. To show our deepest sympathies, each person in our class brought in some type of food, usually fruit or candy, which was made into a sunshine basket and sent to Dick during his confinement in the Tobey Hospital. On Friday the thirteenth, the Sophomores presented Miss Burns with a large Val- entine box of candy. As yet we have not reached the end of our schixil term, but are looking forward with great anticipation to becoming Juniors. First row. M. Schuster, P. Nightingale, S. Thomas. R. Salsman, J.

Canal Currents - 1 48 I went v-cmln J 3 The Freshmen W E the class ol 51, entered Bourne High ' s portals with a feeling of apprehension and slight mistrust. Our first few days were spent becoming acquainted with its illustrious rules and regulations. The confusion of changing rooms, ringing bells, and the correct use of stairs found everyone overpowered at first. As the days slipped by we became accustomed to the routine and soon settled down for the remainder of the year with Mr. Campbell as our home room teacher. Our first act as a class was to elect class officers to lead us through our Freshman year. Those favored with exalted positions were Robert Holman, President; Patricia Condon, Vice-President; Mary Wallace. Secretary; Joan Forrest, Treasurer, and Joseph Sorenti, Student Council. Our fiscal affairs for the coming year were decided at our second meeting. We voted to collect twenty-five cents a month for dues. The reason for beginning the collection of dues in our first year is in anticipation of future activities. On October 3 1 occurred the much talked about and dreaded ( by us, the Fresh- men ) Halloween Party sponsored bv the most reverend Sophomore Class and it proved an evening of fun for everyone. We plaved games, enjoyed refreshments, and in gen- eral had a very enjoyable time. The wild sadistic threats which had appeared from the dark sanctums of Bourne High’s nooks and crannies never materialized. In December we succumbed to the Christmas spirit and did ourselves right proud with the decorations. The whole class participated in this project. One of our able Freshmen brought in a small Christmas tree which added to the joyous atmosphere pre- vailing. The part of strong man was ably plaved by Tom Moses, and he was kept occupied holding one end of the red and green chains, decking the tree, etc. Quite a few fellows and girls were attracted by Bourne ' s sport banner and joined in the parade. During the fall season several boys went out for football. Were proudest, of course, of Joe Sorenti, only Freshman to make a berth on the first team. The reserves were comprised of Bob Holman Jimmv Dixon, John Russ. Barry O ' Rourke, Lennie Silvia, and Tom Moses. The girls, not be out done, active in hockey, were Pat Left to right: M. Wallace, R. Holman, P. Condon, J. Forrest. Bon rne High Sch ool Twenrv-nine Sorenti, Marjorie Keating. Olive Kelley, Charlotte Phillips, Cecily Grist, and Lois Tripp. They showed plenty of spirit on the basketball court too, but only one girl, Pat Sorenti was fortunate enough to secure a first team place. It was a different story with the boys however, Bobby Holman, Joe Sorenti, Gilbert Bradford and Jimmy Dixon helped make up the second team. In past years the Freshman boys haven ' t had much chance to play basketball on the school team. This year a team was organized and coached by Mr. Campbell. Our fellows who went out included Bob Eldridge, Bud Gagnon, Tom Moses, Barry O’Rourke, and Billy Nuttall. In February a girls ' team went to the interscholastic tournament at Plymouth. In- cluded in this group were Pat Condon, Shirley Knight, Pat Sorenti, Gloria Gallerani, Irene Nightingale, Charlotte Phillips, Olive Kelley and Lois Tripp. They did an ad- mirable job and took the opposing team with flying colors. Robert Harris, Buddy Gagnon, and Mary Wallace, three of our fellow students, contributed their art’’ to the musical world in the form of the Shawme Orchestra. Our Student Council representatives, Joe Sorenti and Bob Holman did their duty by faithfully patrolling the corrido rs. Their curt words brought respectful silence (and did I notice some standing at attention?). Putting witticism aside, though, they did a grand job. First row : C. Phillips, E. Mitchell, L.

Under the direction of Miss Kilday a school paper was introduced. Notices were put in all the homerooms and everyone was invited to help with its arrival. The paper got a good start, and everyone liked it before the first copy had even been printed. Like all good things there had to be a name for our school paper, and as the foundation of the school is situated upon a hill, Hilltop News seemed a very effective title. At once ar- rangements were made for a successful beginning of Hilltop News. Meetings were held at a time most suitable for everyone desiring to take a hand in the project. It was at these meetings that an editor was elected and assignments were given out. This was our paper, with our jokes, ideas, statements, and gossip put in as we wanted them. Hilltop News appeared bi-monthly, and each time with a new editor expressing a new idea or thought to be carried out by the pupils of the school. This gave many an opportunity to explain what they felt was lacking in our school program. After a meet- ing had been held, those who had work to do went happily about their job of writing, typing, or composing the necessary articles to make our illustrious journal a success. The paper was sold at the ridiculously low price of two cents. The revelations which it continues to publish and the tid bits of gossip which occur with amazing regu- larity are a constant source of amusement to all its readers. These priceless scraps of information prove to be something to look forward to in each issue. A good imprint was left by the paper on all who participated in it. Certainly even above the literary talent which has been uncovered, the sportsmanshio. congeniality and helpfulness brought to the foreground and expressed by every member of our or- ganization are a step forward in the development of our character. Hilltop News was a great success as was proved by its reception. We feel that another foothold has been established and we are looking forward to furthering it next year.

Student Council T HE Student Council this year elected for its officers, James Young, president; Emiliano Gavazza, William Whittier, Charles Thamalis, Quintin Coppi, Richard Salsman, Robert Holman, and Joseph Sorenti. Six of these members have served the school in previous years. Our job this year has been increased so that we patrol the corridors at the passing bells. Four members are stationed on each floor and strict adherence to our rules and regulations are enforced. At noontime, in order to increase the efficiency and orderli- ness of the lunchroom we locate ourselves in strategic spots. The lockers of the pupils, now under the jurisdiction of the Student Council, are kept closed to avoid untidiness and fire hazards. We also patrol the busses, while in transit, to prevent an excess of fooling. Another project which we are sponsoring in the school is dancing during the noonhour. We have begun a collection in the homerooms to get a sufficient financial backing in order to buy records. Thanks are due Betty Griffith for selecting records each week and to Flo Dixon, Carolyn Jenkins, and Lorraine Bachand for decorating the collection boxes, which we have placed in all homerooms. With our Student Council advisor. Mr. Campbell, we attended the Student Coun- cil Convention in North Attleboro. The Purple and White bus furnished the trans- portation for both Bourne and Wareham members. At the convention we participated in many interesting panel discussions. This spring we are hopeful of attending a two day convention to be h°ld in New Bedford High School. An added responsibility this year was the annual Christmas party. Assisted by the cheerleaders we provided entertainment and refreshments for all students and felt the party was a success. This year we had the privilege of joining the National Student Council of America. Canal Currents - 1948 1 hirty-six Glee Club A SPECIAL group of mixed chorus members was selected to join a visiting chorus from Ware- ham High School and serenaded Bourne High School and Bourne Grammar School the day before Christ- mas vacation began. This same group then traveled to all the Wareham Grammar Schools and High School and sang Christmas carols in the corridors. At the Christmas assembly which was held on Friday, the day we got out for our Christmas vaca- tion, a special group of girls from the Girls’ Chorus, dressed in attractive red, white, and blue attire, put on an attractive carol program, singing around the piano with an effective candlelight background. Sunday eve- ning before Christmas, a bus load of carolers took a trip through Monument Beach, Pocas- sett and Cataumet bringing cheer to in- valids and the inmates of the Sanatorium in Pocasset. At 9:00 that evening these carolers joined in with other high school pupils and town citizens in the sinking of carols around the beautiful Nativity Scene ”, which the town of Bourne had on display at the Buzzards Bay Rotary. We are looking forward to the annual Spring Concert which is scheduled for the last of April and the graduation pro gram in June. We are planning to enter the Cape Cod Festival this spring. As yet they have not told us exactly when. There will be soloists in this festival as well as a spe- cial mixed chorus group. We are looking forward, and perhaps a little backwards, to a lot of fun and hard work. Our club is also planning a Sing Day” with the Wareham students as soon as the weather improves. The students from both high schools will join in on the same music, and enjoy listening to each other perform the same songs. Bourne School I hirry-seven Seated: L. Fuller, R. Harris, V. Gagnon, J.

Orchestra T HE Shawme Orchestra has played an important part in the extra-curricular activities at the Bourne and Sandwich Schools for many years. It is composed of players from the towns of Bourne and Sandwich. Aside from the fact that the musical talent is more nearly balanced, this gives the members of the orchestra a chance to become acquainted with pupils having strong common interests. There are many advantages which playing in an orchestra are able to create. Many of these have no equal in any school activity. The members have a feeling of being a part of something fine and worthwhile. We soon begin to realize that even the smallest has an important part in this organization. Teamwork is a direct development from this attitude. We realize that when the director brings down the baton that we must act, or be left behind. There is no waiting for the one who is slow, or that one who isn’t ready — the show must go on! This brings out the spirit of co-operation. The opportunity of becoming acquainted with music by the most famous of all composers is a rare and fortunate one. Not only does Mr. Querze instruct the players how the notes should be played; but he explains the spirit of the composition and gives an authoritative and colorful interpretation of the pieces. This is a very important part of the orchestral work and should not be overlooked. Music appreciation is one thing which will never be lost, because when one once becomes acquainted with the beautiful pieces of the classics he will continue to enjoy and appreciate them as long as he is able to hear. The orchestra is called upon to play at both Bourne and Sandwich Class Plays, Graduations, Class Nights, and Concerts. It also plays at numerous social affairs spon- sored by various organizations of the town. I hirty-cight Canal Currents - 1948 Left to right: G. Neil, B. Condon, A. Chandler, C. Manchester, D.

Dramatic Club T HE three act comedy, Spring Fever”, presented Friday, March 12, was attended by a large and appreciative audience. It went off with a bang and you can certainly read that literally. The explosions produced by Gordon Neil, playing the part of Ed Burns, the mad chemistry student, caused quite an effect out in the audience. The action of the play centered in the living room of a college boarding house owned by Mrs. Spangler, enacted by Carol Manchester. David Gardner, as a high and mighty senior, did a fine job portraying his part, along with Virgil Bean, alias Wallace Handy, a staid zoology professor and dyed-in-the wool bachelor. That is, until Natalie Porter, as Aunt Maude, happened along. Vic Lewis, in the person of James Young, and the millionaire Mr. Purcell, played by Don Long, managed to complicate matters. Arthur Chandler portrayed the president of the school and did a right fine job of it, too. Anne Purcell, daughter of aforementioned millionaire, combined with Vivian George, played by Lorraine Bachand, to make matters worse ! Much humor was lent to the play by the antics of Joyce Wallace, who played an inquisitive woman; and Barbara Condon, who portrayed a popular and talented journal- ist major in college. The advertising committee headed by Dorothy Melvin did a commendable job in collecting ads for the program which the print shop did up for the occasion. Others who headed committees were Hilda Forrest, ticket; Virginia Coppi, properties; and Elwood Benson and Alfred MacNally, stage. Irene Rovatti and Florence Dixon as as- sistant directors aided Miss Burns who directed the play. The senior class takes this opportunity to thank you, Miss Burns, for all the work and time you rendered in order to make the show the success that it was.

Athletic Association T ED by the officers, Christine Gagnon, President, Betty Downey, Vice-President, Florence Byron, Sec- retary and Treasurer, and Mr. Gray, Adviser, the Athletic Association began the school year. Our first task was to enlist the aid of the student body, and by much pushing and gentle persuasion we succeeded in obtaining a ninety per cent backing in season passes. Thanks are due the shop fellows who volunteered their help and went ahead and made it possible for us to have a ticket and refreshment booth at the football field. The usual Coke”, candy, potato chips, and gum were sold along with hot coffee, which was duly appreciated on those chilly fall days. The print shop again did itself proud in the production of the football programs. They were sold in addition to pennants, pins, and feathers inside the entrance gate in plain view of all fans. Basketball season arrived and the A.A. was again at work, this time in the check-room. As the yearbook goes to press we are looking forward to the Athletic Association banquet, the high- light of the school sports calendar, which will be held this spring.

Cheerleaders S OON after the commencement of school in the fall, Bourne High School’s seven cheerleaders, four of them veterans, could be seen practicing diligently for the forth- coming football season. The need for new cheers was great as the school yells get worn out with use after a few years. Thus the uppermost item on the agenda was the in- venting of motions for the words, which we already had. Many afternoons were spent out under the elms below the school preparing for the first game. Each cheerleader took charge of at least one pep rally during the season. They were held before every game and they were fine get togethers, affording an outlet for all that school spirit in some students and giving others a chance to get a little of that feeling called school spirit. The next task that loomed ahead of us was certainly a huge one and that was to obtain new uniforms. The problem of getting material for the outfits proved to be more difficult than we had thought it to be. At great length, however, the purple and white cloth was found, and a suitable pattern, also, so Miss Ward and her Home Eco- nomics girls cut the suits out for us in order to save a little bit of time. They did a fine job and we really appreciated it. When the morning of that big game with Ware- ham, our annual Thanksgiving rivals, rolled around, seven smart looking cheerleaders could be seen proudly parading around the football field just to show off their classy outfits. Of course, our mothers deserved most of the credit as they sat up ’til the wee hours in order to get them finished. With the basketball season came new cheers and a new and better spirit. With the backing given by the cheerleaders and the student body during the basketball games, how could the team help but win? Now as the season draws to a close, we are all looking forward to another successful season next year. 7 Forty-two Canal Currents - 1948 Front row: C. Harding, W. Whittier, E. Venn, E. Crabe, L.

Bourne High Football 19 4 7 C OACH Butler’s Bourne High Gridiron Squad started the season with a bang by defeating its first two rivals, St. Anthony of New Bedford and P’town, by the scores of 6 to 0 and 13 to 0, respectively. Then came the Falmouth game. This turned out to be a thriller from the beginning. The Big Purple fought a hard and, perhaps, its best game right up to the end. As an unlucky break for Bourne, Lawrence turned the tide and came up with a 7 to 0 win. Bourne took their second loss at the hands of a hard fighting Dartmouth team. Dartmouth plugged Bourne’s hard fighting line for many long gains and despite the hard fight Bourne suffered a loss of 20 to 6. The Big Purple Wave followed this defeat by marching confidently down to Yarmouth to again suffer a 13 to 0 defeat. However the boys were slightly hampered by a high, cross wind and a sunken sand dune in the middle of the field. But even this did not discourage mighty Bourne, for this team could take the losses with the wins and still fight on. The next Saturday again found the Big Purple on the move. This time it was Dighton at Dighton. The day was slightly damp and the field muddy but nothing, not even continued losses, could discourage this team. The boys held Dighton to a 0 to 0 score until a few seconds to the half when a rush of energy from Dighton sent them over to score. Again in the second quarter Bourne fought hard but went down fighting as Dighton made a long dash to clinch the game 13 to 0. Bourne High School Forty-three Another Saturday and another game. This time Hopkinton was at Bourne. Bourne ' s line fought hard and held true as Hopkinton marched into scoring position three times only to be thrown back. Then Hopkinton rallied and marched to score three times in the first three quarters. Bourne marched off the field, again defeated, 20 to 0. And Labtoof” slid back to his sty until the next game. Saturday, November 15 and Bourne moved to Wayland. It was a beautiful sunny, fall day. Bourne marched onto the field certain this time of a win, but hopes were shattered when after a hard fight Wayland finally scored and followed this up with an- other quick tally. And Bourne found itself again defeated, 12 to 0. Diman Voke came down to pay us a little visit on November 22. This was des- tined to be a good game from the start. Bourne marched off to a 6 to 0 score but Diman Voke quickly retaliated by scoring and coming up with an atter point, the score 7 to 6 at the half. The second half was a tough fight all the way. Diman Voke threw everything in our faces, again scoring and taking the after point. And Bourne retired from the field 14 to 6, but hopefully looking forward to the Thanksgiving game with Wareham. The annual Thanksgiving Game, and Bourne’s field was jammed with a record crowd of 2300. The final game of the season and Bourne was out for a win or at least a try, and a hard try, at coming out the victor. From the starring whistle Bourne fought a hard game. Wareham scored twice in the first half, despite Bourne’s frantic fight. Out of a clear sky Benson came in, in the third period and reeled off a 70-yard dash, which brought Bourne into scoring position. Ihen Charlie Thamalis crashed over to score. But this only aggravated Wareham and amid cheers from the crowd Wareham followed with two quick scores. Wareham gleefully went home with a 25 to 6 victory and the Coca-Cola Cup. This was the first time Wareham had won against Bourne in five years. This was a bleak year, rating only a very thin following, but the boys did not lack spirit and fought hard at all times. Coach Butler’s boys have benefited by their experiences in the past year, and hope to profit by them in the future, seeing that only four of the squad will graduate. The replacements from last year’s second string look good and Bourne is expecting a great team from its underclassmen next year. Left to right-. E. Gavazza, Coach Butler, D. Long. W. Whittier C.

Bourne High Basketball B OURNE’S Big Purple started their season by defeating St. Anthony 36-33, followed by a defeat at the hands of Orleans 39-37. Thus the opening games seemed a little uncertain; however, this turned out to be a great team and the season was filled with thrill after thrill. The boys were playing hard and fast ball. Their teamwork was excellent and every- thing was functioning properly until they lost Gavazza. Coach Butler quickly covered his loss by moving Donald Long from his guard slot to forward position and chose from his reserves a fast playing substitute. This new team worked very well together. Everything was going smoothly and all looked bright for the future, when David Handy was lost due to an injury. Again Coach Butler had to call upon his reserves. This time Louis Ferretti was moved to the varsity guard position, and the team continued functioning as well as ever, seeming to suffer little or no damage. As the season progressed and the team knocked off more challengers, Bourne’s squad was becoming stronger and more experienced. Coach Butler started from scratch with only Donald Long to back up his effort, but his hard work proved fruitful. The team came up with a fair season, with an eye on the Brockton Tournament. February 2 1 found the boys playing Hanover at the Brockton Tournament. Gavazza was back on the team which was in top condition. Donald Long had 20 points and Dick Anderson was close behind with 13, Roger Layton with 10, and Gavazz a with 2. This formed the basis of the whole season’s scoring. Bourne beat Hanover 46-33 and was still in the tournament, scheduled to play the next Friday. Forty-seven Bourne High School This game found the rooters as nervous as the team. By the half, Bourne was be- hind and Tisbury was sure of victory when Bourne pulled the game out of the bag, by coming up with a 36-24 win. This kept Bourne in the tournament, much to the pleasure of the loyal rooters. Saturday night they were to play Sharon at the Brockton Armory. Before a good sized crowd the game progressed in a swaying fight, first Bourne leading and then Sharon. But in the last quarter Sharon started to pop them in from all angles and Bourne went down 30-50. All in all this was a fair season, but with the Provincetown game next on the schedule and the last pame for the Cane Championship. Bourne was looking forward to making it an even better season. Wednesday, the 3rd of March, Bourne played St. Anthony away to win with a score of 45-44. Bourne and Provincetown met on March 6 at Barnstable for the Cape Cod Annual Chamoionship plav-off. Since Provincetown had won the lower division berth and Bourne the upper, the teams were to Hash for the C.ane Title. Provincetown being the favorite. The game was hard fought all the way, Provincetown keeping a 4-6 point mar- gin with Bourne taking the lead only once. Both teams missed many foul shots, a fact which hurt Bourne immensely. In the final few minutes of play Bourne racked up a few points. Despite Bourne’s hard fight and their final attempt to subdue their opponents, Provincetown proved to be the victor by a 5 point margin, 57-52.

Jayvees’ Basketball T HIS year’s second team played twelve games, winning eight and losing four, many of which were close and packed with thrills down to the last minute. The team played well together and scored many times when in the clutch. Gil Bradford was usually the one to take the spotlight, scoring at every opportunity, and was assisted beautifully by John Bigelow, Jim Dixon, and Bob Hurley who sank many- spectacular shots. The guards also played the ball with Joe Sorenti and Bob Holman controlling both back boards with great ease. Bill Whittier and Charlie Harding were great reserves and helped the team immensely. All in all, the team had a successful year, and will be in good shape for next year ' s squad, some of whom will fill in first string places. The team also played Campbell ' s Crusaders three times winning twice and drop- ping the other.

Plymouth played her best and while she wasn’t dreaming over Bourne’s new suits she gave all her ambition to end the game in her favor. Both teams were unable to fulfill their dreams and the game was ended in a rage of heat. Score 0-0! ! BOURNE AT MIDDLEBORO On October 21, two inspired teams were put into a truck for shipment to Middle- b oro’s slaughter field. Bourne had vigor and intended to show Middelboro a trick or two. The first team lost 3-0 while the Bourne Seconds found victory and beat their op- ponents 1-0. MIDDLEBORO AT BOURNE Middleboro returned for another battle with mighty Bourne. At the start it looked like Bourne was going to carry the banner, for they showed a great deal of ambition and promptly shot the first goal. Wonderful, was the cheer, but it wasn’t so wonderful, for Middleboro then grit their teeth, grabbed their mallets, and began to slug. Bourne stepped back while Mid- dleboro bravely pushed the ball through the goal two times. This ended another game as a 3-1 loss for Bourne. The second team kept their honor, however and pulled through with a 1-0 score. Bourne FTi ' nli School Fifty-one J Seated: D. Melvin, F. Dixon, E. Downey, C. Gagnon, L. Bachand.

Girls’ Basketball T HE Amazons of Bourne High turned out in fine numbers for this year’s practices. Some of these enthusiasts lost out when teams were chosen, but our new coach, Miss Osgood, planned a shorter interscholastic schedule, thus completing the usual sea- son with intramural games. All but Orleans was vanquished. Sandwich defeated us on their floor for the first game, by only one basket, but revenge was sought when they met us on our spacious court, and they returned home having tasted defeat. It was the toughest game of the season. Perfect teamwork highlighted all games, and the spirit of competition prevailed. Exasperating moments were experienced when Coach offered sundaes to each team member, if 50 points were attained in any game. How those scores soared — to 49, then stopped! Oh well, they don’t fit into our athletic diet, anyway! ! The alumnae game was a thriller. The old ladies were flat on the floor most of the time, and subs were being shot in every two minutes or so. (The Mayflower Maids suffered the greatest whipping of all, but we found them to be all-round sports.) The second team chalked up a praise-worthy record of winning all 5 games played. Three cheers!!! The group shows signs of future first team material. Next year’s out- look is indeed optimistic. Pat Sorenti, a Freshman, made news when she emerged first team high-scorer, and Joanne Byron held second team scoring honors. Credit goes, however, to those who did not play in each game entirely, but were nevertheless ever-faithful. Fifrv-two Canal Currents - 1948 Travelling to other schools down the Cape gave us a comparison between our own Alma Mater and other institutions of learning.

Sometimes these trips made us feel like freshly-packed sardines- — for once in a while the boys’ team tagged along to play a game. ( Just on the side, of course! ) Our new uniforms were not only good-looking but comfortable. We were the only team with pure white suits, until Orleans decided that ours looked pretty snappy. Then, they came out with carbon copies of same. As usual, when Old Man Winter took his leave, we bade farewell to our favorite sport with much misgivings. But then, softball is a lot of fun.
