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.

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.

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.
