Bourne Hi”li School I wciny-livc Of the seven girls on the cheering squad four are members of the Senior Class. 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.

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.

Twenty-six Canal Currents - 1948 The Sophomores I T was a bright September morning as we clamored vigorously up the familiar stone steps. 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.
