Bourne High School Nine The Juniors W E 49-ers, members of the prominent Junior class, have forged into the limelight in the sports and literary world of Bourne High. 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. Seated : C. Thamaiis, M. Rattray, R. Layton. Standing-. D. Douglas.

In looks, acts always the gentleman — like- able and happy-go-lucky — his pastime is well labeled fun”. Life without laughing is a dreary blank.’’ Brash FRANCIS G.

Adept in the quiet art of minding his own business — possessor of a cherubic counte- nance and friendly disposition — in the future you’ll find him piloting for the A.A.P.

Class clown — a wit with, we hope, some purpose in life — an agreeable person with a faculty for enjoying people — one of our up and coming athletes. I wear my heart upon my sleeve. ' ' S VEI)E
