Ballard, T. Thamalis, R. Salsman The Juniors A GROUP of excited Juniors gathered in the room across from the study hall. It was September 8, 1948 and the beginning of their third year at Bourne High. At last they were on the second floor, and eagerly considering the added authority thus achieved. Only one more year until their transforma- tion into Seniors. A few days after the opening of school, the arrival of our previou ly ordered class rings caused a commotion. The money was relinquished and soon everyone was proudly flashing them around. Some people even had two rings — wonder how that happened — ! The first class meeting resulted in the election of our officers; Richard Salsman, President; Bob Bal- lard, Vice President; and Teddy Thamalis, Secretary- Treasurer. At that time our class due were changed to 50c a month. Four Juniors; Mary Lincoln, Teddy Thamalis, Horace Harrison, and Richard Salsman became mem- bers of the newly enlarged Student Council, which is under the direction of Mr. Campbell. The yearbook, Canal Currents, was our main project, and we set out to make it absolutely the most colossal yearbook in the history of Bourne High. Mr. Gray initiated us into the field of journalism, and the fight was on — but definitely! There have been signs of budding athletes among our number. Many of the girls have enthusi- astically participated in the various sports that Bourne High has to ofiFer. Although the boys have not been too numerous, those having an inclination towards sports have stuck it out, and we are in hopes of an increase next year. Our girls however, have gained laurels in both Field Hockey and Basketball. Three of the cheerleaders who help to support and encourage our teams wherever they go, are Jun- iors. Bette Griffith, Carol Dwyer, and Mary Lincoln, who is the captain, represent the school spirit of the Juniors. There is no scarcity of scholastic ability to be found among cur classmates, for Junior names are fre- quently observed on the Honor Roll and Honorable Mention lists, thus proving that a number of intel- lectually-inclined students are counted in our ranks. As yet we have undertaken no money-making project or at- tempted to enrich our class treasury by any other means than that of class dues which we have been paying for almost three years. Plans are now underway for a spectacular Junior Prom which is to be held on May 20th. We hope that it will prove a great social success, so be sure not to miss it; you’ll be sorry if you do. During the past three years the events at Bourne High have arrived and departed so rapidly that each successive year has had more packed into it than the previous one. Before we fully realize what has become of the time, our duties as Seniors will have de- scended upon us. The training to which we have been subjected will then be put to use, we hope, successfully.

Modesty has more charm than beauty’’ Twenty-two Currents - 1949 Left to right ' . L. Ferretti, C. Thamalis, M. Rattray The Seniors A fter our final high school summer vacation we found ourselves once more under the shadows of Bourne High’s elm trees tall. Happily we returned to the so-called drudgery and boring routine of high school. With thoughtful and sad recollections of our previous high school days we turned once more to the more serious aspects of school life. Under the capable direction of the usual Senior Class adviser, Mr. Walter Stahura, we elected our class oflficers for the coming year. Lewis Ferretti was chosen president, Charles Thamalis was selected vice-president, and Peggy Rattray was elected secretary-treasurer. Our homeroom for the past year has been the study hall, which in the two previous years was re- served for larger Junior Classes. September afternoons found a great number of the young men and women of our class working out with the football and field hockey teams. The football squad’s final standing was greatly aided by its Senior members. The diligent practice of these boys as well as that of the athletically inclined female members of the class resulted in a substantial amount of participation in Bourne High’s athletic program. After the closing of the football and field hockey season we sponsored a Thanksgiving Day dance. Although we were all greatly held back by our unusually large Turkey Day appetites, the dance proved to be a wonderful social and financial success. Many murm urs of approval at the music provided by Jay Mando and his orchestra were overheard during the intermission and following the dance. As the basketball season rolled around many of our senior boys could be found every afternoon in the high school gym with Coach Butler. On the varsity squad from our class were Richard Anderson, David Handy, Roger Layton, Lewis Ferretti, Russell Burns, Charles Thamalis, Charles Harding, John Bigelow, and Allan Booth. Layton and Handy served the team as co-captains. Ronald Nowlan, an- other Senior, was the team’s manager. On the girls’ basketball team the Senior Class was represented very capably by Betty Downey, Elea- nor Harding and Ellen Norris. Queenie Soup’s On Junior Prom — 1948 Bourne Higli School I wcnry-rhrcc Our class treasury was greatly enlarged during the year, much to our delight, by Mr. Coady’s much appreciated cooperation in a scrap drive. We also fared well in a town-wide cake sale. This was indeed a huge success thanks to the excellent performances of all the participating committees, and the gener- ous donations made by a great many benevolent townspeople. Many individuals in our class were outstanding in other phases of our school life. Helen Harrison and John Bigelow were the Senior Class’ musically inclined representatives of the Shawme Orchestra. The senior members of the Bourne High School Athletic Association were Marjorie Jenkins, Helen Har- rison, Lois Browne, Elaine Gibbs, Elizabeth Downey, and Alan Fuller. A capable job was done on the Student Council by Peggy Rattray, Marjorie Jenkins, Charles Thamalis, and Ronald Nowlan. They con- tributed much in the line of patrolling the corridors, straightening out the library, checking up on opened lockers, and watching over the lunchroom at noon-time. As spring rolled around we began to contemplate the swiftly approaching class trip. The class de- cided to go to Washington. We also planned to spend a day or so in New York City both coming and going. Reverend and Mrs. Kimmel have agreed to serve as our chaperones, a task which they undertook last year too. As we look forward to this — always one of the happiest weeks in high school days — we realize once more how much we owe Bourne High School. The Senior Class play, Double or Nothing”, which was directed by Mrs. Tyson, the English teacher, was presented on April 8th and, as all Bourne High School dramatic productions have been in the past years, was a huge success. It featured the following Seniors; Helen Harrison, Richard Anderson, Diane Douglas, Marjorie Jenkins, Ronald Nowlan, Gordon Dodd, Elizabeth Downey, Allan Booth, Faith Taylor, Eleanor Stymiest, Lewis Ferretti, Charles Thamalis, and William Alden. As the summer months again rapidly approach and we begin to realize that our high school days are swiftly coming to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who in the past years have, with their helping hands, made our way much easier. We look to the unsettled future years in the hope that they will be as pleasant and as happy as these last four years in Bourne High School. First Row (left to right) : J. Robbins, C. Tucy, E.

Dixon The Sophomores T he morning after September seventh, which was the last vacation day, we entered again into the wonders and drudgeries of school. We started out with a large class and a new home-room teacher, Miss Lohmann. She had quite a job for her first time here, what with the English instruction of not only us, but also the juniors and sen- iors. Since she was to be so busy with her classes and attendance records, we thought we could wander from the straight and narrow without serious hindrance on her part, but we soon discovered that the nickname wise fools” had been chosen wisely. On the 23rd of September, we held a class meeting and elected officers. The vote was close and by a narrow margin the following officers were chosen: President James Dixon Treasurer Shirley Knight Vice President Leonard Sylvia Secretary Gloria Gallerani Other business discussed at this meeting was class dues. After much dissension, 25 cents a month was finally agreed upon. Many of the members of the class don’t realize that by paying each month, the sum is mounting up in blue, and not red ink, and it is a great deal easier to pay gradually and not all at once. At the annual Halloween Party sponsored by the Sophomores, all had a good time. The trembling Ereshmen, upon discovering that the threats of the Sophomores and upper classmen were just passing breezes, soon were quite at their ease, and having as good a time as the rest. In sports, we found some excellent athletes among us. Although the football season wasn’t exact- ly termed a success, the Sophomore boys stayed out all season, in spite of scratched noses and faces, cal- isthenics, and worst of all, the gigglings of the cute little hockey girls on the other half of the field. The season wasn ' t a success as far as scores go, but as far as sportsmanship goes, it was immensely success- ful, and what are sports for if not for sportsmanship? Perhaps the most serious casualty of the season was Lenny Sylvia. After the job Russ Burns did on him at one practice, he was dubbed Scarface.” We were also calling Joe Sorenti Pegleg” for a while. Bourne High School Iwenty-five ✓ Basketball brought even more boys into the limelight. What with Campbell ' s Crusaders and the squad for the first and second team, we had quite a number out. We had one on the first team, and 60% of the second team were Sophomores. Not only the boys, but also the girls seem to do well in the realm of sports. There were quite a few of our girls on Miss Holden’s hockey team, and although their endeavors w ' eren ' t all successful, they had a good time of it, and also enjoyed watching the boys working at their calisthenics on the other side of the field. In basketball, too, the Sophomore girls turned cut in great numbers, and those who didn’t make a position had a good time rooting for the team. Not only in sports themselves, but the girls also were outstanding in their support of the sports ac- tivities, namely, the Athletic Association. There were many Sophomore girls in this organization, which is of tremendous aid not only to sports but to the school also. The members of this organization seem to follow the advice of that baseball announcer, If you can’t take part in sports, be one anyway.” Softball will soon be starting, and will undoubtedly find many eager girls from our class participat- ing in that sport. In addition to these sports. Miss Holden has issued a call for girls interested in archery, a valuable sport. She also has tried something new by asking for all girls interested in tennis to report to her. This is the first time tennis has been called to the attention of the athletes in this school. If it gets started, it may become a regular sport for girls and even boys. The class is not only athletically but intellectually inclined too. A large number of Sophomore names may be found on the honor roll. We were very much surprised when we returned from Christmas vacation. We learned that Miss Lohmann was leaving us. It seems she was to be called Mrs. soon after she departed. Why she would prefer married life to the pleasures of teaching us students we just can’t imagine. Nevertheless, we are very happy for her. Our new home room teacher, Mrs. Tyson, a former teacher at this school, is liked very much. We have enjoyed a wonderful year at Bourne High as Sophomores, and we hope to have an even better one when we enter the doors of the school as Juniors and upper classmen. Well, most of us will advance to the Junior room, anyway. First Row (left to ri ht) : I. Nightingale, R. Blackwell, M. Wallace, L. Tripp, G. Gallerani, L. Sylvia, J. Dixon, S. Knight, C. Phillips, L.

Gallo The Freshmen I AST year ' s eighth graders from the Bourne and Sagamore Grammar Schools united to form the class - ' of 1952 at Bourne High School. The departure from our former school life was made permanent when we gathered within the Fresh- men home room. This transition was slightly delayed by the helpful upperclassmen, who casually direc- ted bewildered members of the Freshmen class to the boiler room, lobby, projection room, and cafeteria, when trustingly requested to give the location of the home room. Once established in room 24, instructions were given by our class adviser, Mr. Campbell, not to con- sult the upperclassmen and to pay absolutely no attention to what they said. He then gave us directions on how to reach our correct destinations within the designated time limit. Since there was much business to be taken care of, we held our first class meeting on September 28. The primary aim of this gathering was to elect our class officers for the year. Doug Sawtelle was selected for President, Greta Clouette, Vice President; Karen Michelson, Secretary; and Eleanor Gallo, Treasurer. The decision was also made to pay twenty-five cents a month in class dues. As Halloween drew near, there was general apprehension among our fellow classmates concerning the approaching party, about which many eerie tales were circulating of weird happenings to unfortunate Freshmen. Upon our hesitant arrival at the festivities, we trembled with fright, but nothing happened to any of us. That is — nearly all escaped unharmed. When it was all over, all agreed that the Sophomores had given a grand party. A considerable number of the members of our class are in the Shawme Orchestra. In fact, we are rather proud of the following musically inclined students; June Reynolds, Eleanor Gallo, Faith Kelley, Beth Cook, Bob Chandler and Larry Collins. Larry deserves special credit since he plays reveille at eight o’clock and taps at two o’clock. We all marvel at his precocious ability. This year saw the introduction of a new method for the selection of student council members. Eight pupils of high standing were chosen from each classroom, after which the individual classes elected four out of the original eight, two boys and two girls, to membership in the student council. In our class those graced with the positions were; Doug Sawtelle, Faith Kelley, Bob Chandler, and Laurianne Handy. A budding carpenter Six little tailors A milk shake, maybe. I I I Bourne High School Twenty -se ' en Last December the class decided to Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly,” so we decorated our room. The class gaily made colored paper chains and obtained a small Christmas tree, so our room was artfully and suitably decorated for the coming holidays. After the chains were suspended from light to light across the ceiling, we were very proud of our efforts. Although the boys constitute a large majority of our class, there were not too many who chose to go out for football. However, the ones who did go out stayed for the entire season. You have to give them credit. Basketball seemed to appeal to the majority of the male members of our class, for all the boys who wished to participate were installed as Campbell’s Crusaders.” As the season progressed, we were all very proud to observe that Julio Gomes and Russell Haslam had been promoted to the regular squad, where they saw their share of action as members of the second team. Although the girls seemed to be the minority group, they carried the sports banner high. In fact, quite a large number of them went out for hockey and eagerly participated in the games. Basketball, as for the boys, was the big attraction for the girls, since a considerable number went out. Beth Cook and Laurianne Handy made the second team and they performed admirably. Now that spring is here and more of the outdoor sports are coming into evidence, we are looking forward with anticipation to baseball. The boys especially enjoy the play on the diamond and are glad of the chance to get out in the fresh spring air. Not only does hard ball prove to be of interest; the girls are participating in softball, and two other new sports have come to the foreground. A call has been issued by Miss Holden for all those girls who are interested in tennis. In addition, archery has made its appearance again as in former years. We are in hopes that both sports will continue to be a permanent part of our annual sports schedule. There are also a few members of our class who do well in their studies, as the honor roll will testi- fy. Good attendance records are also held by a number of our classmates. Our first year at Bourne High has been very enjoyable and we hope that we will find the next three as profitable. First Row (left to right) ; P. Gomes, W. Anderson, H. Jarvis, R. Cardoza, J.

Honor Club T he Bourne High School Honor Club is composed of students who have obtained A’s and B’s throughout all the marking periods. Students who represent the honor club are those who are interested in their school and work diligently to complete their tasks. Year after year, it is thought by many pupils that those students who study are bookworms. It probably is better in their estimation, to enjoy high school by being slackers. That is, having a fine time without knowing the value of books. But, do pupils realize that those pupils who achieve high standards also indulge in sports and participate in music, art, and social clubs? No, they believe that having a good time is the only factor in life. Our pupils have their fun along with their work. During the school years, both faculty and classmates have heard various assertions made by the members of this club. One being that they do consider studies an essential phase of their life and secondly, desire to obtain the most out of their school years. Hearing such remarks, assures us that these students will soon be capable of departing from Bourne High School with great promises in future years. Present members of the Honor Club are very proud of the organization. It is the ambition of said members to encourage pupils to strive for higher standards and thus become eligible for membership. In the Honor Club are: SENIORS; L. Browne, H. Harrison. JUNIORS: M. Browne, J. Byron, C. Dwyer, B. Forrest, E. Griffith, H. Harrison, M. Robbins, R. Salsman, Marj. Schuster, M.

It was well-attended and enjoyed by students as well as the parents. The action of this play took place on a Friday in Spring in the living room of Mrs. Abbott’s rooming house in a college town. The plot centered around the custom of producing a surprise to delight the at- tendants of the Midwestern College Prom. Ted Hoyt made arrangements to escort Carol Muir, the young movie star, as the star attraction of the Prom. The fact that he forgot one of the rules of the college which forbade the appearance of celebrities at college ac- tivities, brought on a number of intriguing and hilarious complications. There followed a series of exciting adventures including the impersonating of Carol Muir by another guest and a kidnaping of this guest by two prankster members of the Senior Class. The fast-moving plot came to a happy ending by the granting by Carol Muir of a scholarship in Marine Biology, thus making her attendance at the Prom gratifying. The success of this play was due to the wonderful cooperation of the members of the cast as well as to the helpful work of the Stage Manager, William Thomas, Adver- tising Manager, Ellen Norris, Property Manager, Joseph Labretto, Ticket Manager, Lois Browne, and Student Directors, Thelma Tobey and Elaine Gibbs. The Seniors wish to thank, Mrs. Tyson and Mr. Campbell our faculty directors, most heartily for the work and time they put in the play.

Student Council A S in previous years new responsibilities and more efficiently performed duties were -Cv required of the Bourne High School Student Council this year. In line with this the council was greatly enlarged. Sixteen members, two boys and two girls from each homeroom, were elected by the student body. The Senior Class was represented by Charles Thamalis, Ronald Nowlan, Peggy Rattray, and Marjorie Jenkins, the Juniors by Mary Lincoln, Theodora Thamalis, Horace Harrison, and Richard Salsman. Elected by the Sophomores were Patricia Sorenti, Marjorie Keating, Stewart Small, and Joseph Sorenti, and by the Freshmen, Douglas Sawtelle, Robert Chandler, Laurianne Handy, and Faith Kelley. Three of these members have served the school on the council in previous years. Charles Thamalis was elected president, Richard Salsman was chosen vice-president, and Peggy Rattray served as secretary-treasurer. Again this year members of the Student Council were located in strategic places in the lunchroom to increase its orderliness and efficiency. Due to the fact that there were eight more members on the Council we were also able to supervise the study hall library. There, lost dictionaries were found and replaced and the alphabetical arrange- ment of the encyclopedias was insured. This year, the annual Christmas Party was sponsored by the Student Council. At the suggestion of the Council adviser, Mr. Campbell, the Bourne Grammar School first grade was invited and each child received an individual gift. In future years we hope to invite children from the other two grammar schools in the town. At the party, which was a big success, refreshments were served and there was a motion picture and some caroling by the Glee Club. This spring we hope to attend the semi-annual meeting of the Association of Southeastern Massachusetts Student Councils. From this we will obtain many new views on school government, which we will apply next year in Bourne High. We all sincerely hope that Bourne High has in the past year benefited from our experiences as much as we. Bourne High School 1 hirty Kneeling {left to right) : L. Tripp, E. Gibbs, M. Jenkins, A.

Athletic Association A t the opening of the school year the following officers for the Athletic Association were chosen: Marjorie Jenkins Allen Fuller Elaine Gibbs There are fifteen members in all. Season tickets to all home games were printed in our print shop and sold to the pupils of the high school and grammar school by the Athletic Association members. Under the direction of Mr. Gray, this group of boys and girls sold tickets for the football games plus candy, Coke, ice cream, pins, feathers, and programs. To many of us their willing work made the games more enjoyable. When basketball season arrived they continued to sell tickets at the door, but this was not all. During the halves of the game the members of the Athletic Association sold candy. Coke, and ice cream downstairs in the checkroom. This was by no means an easy job, for frequently it was necessary to sacrifice seeing parts of the game in order to serve the people. As the year wears on they are looking forward to the Athletic Association Banquet which is held every year in the High School. This small group is the only organization in our school in which the members volunteer to do work. They have no special dates for getting together but quite often they stay late after school in preparation for coming events. This year, for the first time, the Athletic Association has been able to have uniforms such as any other organization. With the willing help of their adviser, Mr. Gray, they are now working on a new system of merits which will soon be introduced to the members. In spite of many obstacles they are continually w ' orking to build up their organ- izarion into something better and more useful than the year before.

These members spend many long hours of practice on their instruments, for every Monday night finds them hard at work either at Bourne or Sandwich. The time thus spent is rewarding, as is proved by their excellent performances at school plays, gradu- ation exercises, concerts, and social affairs. We are very proud of our group. Through its combined talents we have learned that beautiful things can be produced by teamwork and the joining of each other ' s efforts towards a common goal. Al Piano {left to right) : J. Reynolds, E. Gallo, E. Gibbs. Second Row: B. Cook, L. Collins, M. Bigelow. First Row: F. Kelley, L. Fuller, H. Harrison, R. Hams. Standing: R. Chandler. Much credit goes to the Shawme Orchestra’s excellent leader, Mr. Querze, for its achievements. With patience and kindness he has instructed many in the art of music, and a true knowledge of his instruments plus a love for instructing those who wish to learn, has brought about very successful re- sults. We certainly are grateful for all that he has done for the school during his long years of work with us. Those who have participated in the orchestra have done so because they have a deep appreciation of music, and not because of any merits or awards which might be received. The work of those who con- stitute the orchestra is at times rather difficult, for accuracy is of major importance where music is con- cerned. A sour note or lengthy pause can ruin the entire harmonious effect. The careful choice of musical selections by our conductor has taught us to value the compositions of the great masters. Although popular music is enjoyable, it is the music which has lasted through the years that truly lives on, proving that A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Whenever you attend a program to which the orchestra contributes, remember that it is made pos- sible by the indefatigable efforts on the part of Mr. Querze and these students. I hirty-six Canal Currents - 1949 The Art Club ' I HIS year’s art dub was formed under handicaps but in spite of them, interest still flared. With the omitting of special periods on Thursday, the art club was in a dubious state. However, the members still decided to meet after school on Monday from 2 to 4. It would seem that the whole thing would fizzle out, but there were fifteen people that were interested enough in art to devote their spare time to the subject. One of their big projects was posters for special occasions. When Be Kind to Animal Week” rolled around, many colorful posters were displayed in the school, de- picting what the week stood for. CAockwise-. K. Jones, S. Knight, K. Michelson, S. Silvia, G. Gallerani, B. Alden, L. Collins, C. Grist, R. Sawtelle, O. Kelley, E. Mitchell. At Christmas time, something new was added to the course of instruction, with the advent of self-designed Christmas cards. Under Mrs. Campbell’s capable instruction, members of the club made their own designs for the faces of their cards, colored them, and sent them down to shop. There, they went through the printing press, and were returned to the students. This provided the members of the club with a cheap form of quaint greeting cards, while at the same time furthering the prestige of the high school with the arrival of our handiwork to distant towns and cities. The pupils were also taught the block” form of drawing. The principle of this method is to draw small blocks on the paper to scale with the subject to be copied, and then to draw the subject on the larger paper with the corresponding lines on the corresponding block. All the pupils agreed that this was an excellent form of instruc- tion and a good way to make a near likeness. Mrs. Campbell, this year’s instructor, as she was last year, has instilled in her pupils a genuine liking for the subject, and they were very sorry when it was learned that she wouldn’t be teaching here anymore. But with the adding to the faculty of Mrs. Walker, the pupils find that they have a very able and efficient instructor, and are now reconciled to the change. They are still having their meetings after school, and the extra two hours spent after school are well offset by the pleasures derived from doing their own art work.

Coach Butler’s boys have learned from their past experiences and they are looking to the future years with renewed hope. We wish them lots of good luck for the coming season. BOURNE 0 — MARSHFIELD 6 The first Saturday of Bourne’s football season found our boys battling the Marsh- field eleven in home territory. An early touchdown by the visiting team proved too much for the Purple Wave. BOB JOE CHARLIE QUINT CHARLIE Bourne High School I hirry-ninc BOURNE 7 — YARMOUTH 7 Bourne entered the Yarmouth game as an underdog, but the team was undiscouraged. In the second period plunging fulloack Thamalis went off tackle from the 10-yard line for a score. Quarterback Joe Sorenti followed it up by smashing through the center for the conversion. In the last period, with 3 minutes to play Yarmouth was on Bourne’s 9 and with a short pass they managed to tie it up. The game ended after an unsuccessful desperation heave by Thamalis. BOURNE 0 — FALMOUTH 19 On the next Saturday the Purple Wave moved on to try their luck against a favored Lawrence High team. Except for the second period, in which Falmouth scored 19 points, our boys played a strong defensive game. In the fourth period Lawrence had a first down inside Bourne’s five-yard line, but against an inspired battling team their efforts were thwarted. BOURNE 0 — DARTMOUTH 21 Bourne’s third Iocs came at the hands of a hard fighting Dartmouth eleven. Dart- mouth racked uo 7 points in each of the last three periods. Bourne’s only bid for a score came in the first quarter when Harding, the BHS left end, just missed recovering a Dartmouth fumble on the opponent’s three. BOURNE 14 — PROVINCETOWN 7 Down on the Cape tip the Big Purple staged a thrilling comeback in the second half. In the third period Bradford, left end, took in a short pass for the TD and Thamalis converted. In the fourth quarter Layton went off left tackle for 6 points and Thamalis again got the extra point. BOURNE 7 — HOLY FAMILY 13 Bourne turned in a poor second period at Soldier’s Field in New Bedford. Holy Family got two touchdowns in short order in this quarter. The lone Bourne tally was made in the fourth period by Thamalis, and Layton followed with the conversion. BOURNE 6 — HOPKINTON 14 Next our boys journeyed to Hopkinton only to take it on the chin again. Sorenti’s 45 -yard scamper with an intercepted forward pass was the Purple’s single highlight. BOURNE 0 — WAREHAM 32 Turkey Day found Bourne’s Big Purple battling its stronger, traditional rival. Ware- ham. Wareham buried Bourne under an avalanche of 32 points, although the Big Purple did go deep into enemy territory on two occasions. The Purple and White’s best bid was a long pass intercepted by Wareham on its 1-yard line.

Thamalis, A. Booth, C. Harding, J. Bigelow, L. Ferretti, Manager R. Nowlan. Basketball C oach Butler, this year, again produced a successful team for the Bourne High fol- lowers. With three veterans left from the previous year and many other well sea- soned players, the Purple Wave was destined to come out on top in 12 of 19 games. The team was led by co-captains Dave Handy and Roger Layton. Because of the clean play and good sportsmanship to be found in all our games we feel that Bourne High was well represented in the 1948-1949 basketball season. BOURNE 42 — HARWICH 38 In the first scheduled game of the season Bourne’s Purple Wave came out on top in a scrappy overtime battle. Bourne led 25 - 12 at half-time but the boys slowed down enough for Harwich to tie it up 34-all. In the overtime Bourne had the necessar) ' punch to land 8 points. Burns was high man with 17 points. BOURNE 54 — ORLEANS 36 Together Burns, Layton, and Anderson tallied 42 points as Bourne fought Orleans on the lower-Cape floor. The Big Purple led all the way and as the final whistle sounded cur boys were way ahead in this scoring parade. In the last 8 minutes they tossed in 23 points. BOURNE 38 — SANDWICH 34 This was the first game on the home court and it started the New Year right. BHS led all the way and it was a low scoring game for three periods. Then Sandwich found the basket only to be countered by 15 Bourne points. Anderson led the scoring with 14 points. BOURNE 45 — ST. ANTHONY 47 The Purple Wave journeyed to New Bedford only to be met with its first defeat, (jur boys were on the way to victory but time ran out. Anderson was tops on the scor- ing column with 18. Bourne High School Forry-thrcc BO URNE 41 — BARNSTABLE 34 Many hours of foul shooting practice paid off in this game. Both teams got 14 field goals but Bourne got 7 more points than Barnstable from the foul line. Burns led the Big Purple with 25 points. BOURNE 44 — PROVINCETOWN 62 Provincetown’s classy quintet proved too much for Bourne in spite of our half- time lead. Burns, Anderson, and Layton accounted for 39 of Bourne’s 44 points. BOURNE 54 — ORLEANS 34 On the home court Bourne’s bewildering passing attack directed the Purple to a 28-10 half-time lead. Burns, Sorenti, and Anderson led the scoring parade, getting 14, 13, and 12 points, respectively. BOURNE 46 — YARMOUTH 37 Bourne assumed early command of this game by ripping into a 14 - 3 first-period lead. Erom then on the Purple ' Wave matched every aimouth point. Burns got 16 points, and Layton, 14. BOURNE 46 — WAREHAM 41 At the end of the 3rd period in this game Wareham led 39 - 30 but BHS bounced back with 16 points while holding Wareham to a single tally in the last 8 minutes. Burns was high scorer with 18 points, 10 of which he scored in the last quarter. BOURNE 47 — BARNSTABLE 62 Barnstable led off with a 10 point lead at half-time, but the Big Purple pared it down to 44 - 40 at the end of the 3rd period. However, in the last 15 minutes the Red Raiders pulled away to win by 15 points. BOURNE 34 — WAREHAM 28 Burns and Layton, who scored 15 and 12 points respectively, paced the Purple to its second win of the season against Wareham. BHS protected its 6-point half-time lead down to the wire. BOURNE 34 — YARMOUTH 42 Bourne led until the last of the 3rd period when Yarmouth tied it up 23 - 23. With 5 minutes to play it was 32-all, but some sharp foul shooting by Yarmouth put them in the lead as the game ended. Layton led the BHS scorers with 10 points. BOURNE 38 — EALMOUTH 26 A tight, puzzling defense which held Ealmouth to 8 field goals and the Purple’s clicking on 16 of 29 free throws defeated the Lawrence five. Bourne went out in front in the first period and never relinquished its lead. BOURNE 49 — HARWICH 40 Although only leading by one point at half-time the Bourne boys surged steadily ahead to come out on top at the end. Bourne managed to stage off a last quarter rally to topple the visiting squad. Both Burns and Anderson got 18 points. BOURNE 43 — SANDWICH 44 The Purple cagers were handed a surprise setback in a thrilling contest with the Sandwich quintet. A Sandwich free throw with 4 seconds to play was the deciding factor. Burns led the scoring column with 26 points. BOURNE 43 — ST. ANTHONY 42 In the final game of the regular season the Purple Wave’s half-time lead kept the Canal five in the game. St. Anthony tied it up with 2 minutes to play, but a foul shot in the closing seconds by Burns, the high scorer with 19 points, was the margin of victory. BOURNE 36 — DIGHTON 25 In the South Shore Tourney held in Brockton, Bourne triumphed over the 1948 Brockton semi-finalists, Dighton. Dighton’s man-to-man defense couldnt keep pace against the Purple Wave’s fast-breaking attack. BOURNE 32 — PROVINCETOWN 49 In the final game of the season the Cape-tip’s sharp-shooting forwards led them to this tourney win. Bourne staged somewhat of a comeback in the 3rd period with 12 points, but in the 4th they dropped to 5, all scored by guard Lewis Ferretti. Burns was high man with 16 points.

Jayvees T HIS year’s second team played 13 games, 9 of which they won, and all preliminaries to the first team contests. The team was composed of Jim Dixon, Carl Bradford, and Bob Ballard, forwards, Gil Bradford, center, and Bob Holman and Dick Salsman, guards. The team consistently played its best brand of basketball when they were be- hind and, they showed a marked superiority over other Cape second teams, which we hope is an indication of future Bourne Cape championships. Although the Jayvees won many of their games by 10 or 15 point margins, they were seldom beaten by more than 5 points. Among their games there were also some very close, exciting contests, such as the games with St. Anthony and Wareham. The squad was made up entirely of under -classmen, all of whom received invaluable exper- ience. In addition, the first team was greatly aided by its practice combat with the Jayvees. Some of the members of this team will undoubtedly apply in next year’s first team games this basketball know-how that they have gained.

Campbell’s Crusaders C AMPBELL’S Crusaders was formed last year, the first year that the regular basket- ball squad was cut, and is made up of the overflow from the varsity basketball team. They are named after their coach, Mr. Campbell, who also coached them last year. Due to the fact that the majority of the members of this team are underclassmen, this arrangement gives all who participate some invaluable experience, as well as pro- viding an excellent outlet for some good basketball. Most of their games were played just before either the second team or the girls’ team game — the preliminary to the first team contest. These games were played by teams that were composed exclusively of Crusaders and picked by Mr. Campbell, whose choice insured an exciting battle. In addition, there were four games with the Bourne Grammar School team. These games, however, were played by only the Freshman class members of Campbell’s Cru- saders. Of these four games Coach Compbell’s squad won one and dropped three. Their biggest game of the season was played at Bourne High against the Com- munity Five before the preliminary contest. The Community Five won this match, which was a close one all the way by a score of 25 to 24. Much praise is due Mr. Campbell because of his work with these up-and-coming future Bourne High School cagers. In addition to an indispensable knowledge of fun- damental basketball know-how, Mr. Campbell has instilled in his Crusaders a feeling of fair, clean play and good sportsmanship seldom equalled in such groups.

They had great hopes in their team and were determined to show Plymouth how Bourne plays hockey. The girls played a spirited game and it wasn’t long before Bourne chalked up a point for her side. During this time, Plymouth was by no means sleeping and at the end of the game Plymouth had made two goals while Bourne had only one. BOURNE 1— PLYMOUTH 0 Plymouth played the return game with Bourne on October 27, but this time it looked as though things would be a little different. Plymouth put up a good fight, which wasn’t good enough for our inspired team. They weren’t going to let Plymouth beat them again. Bourne pushed her way down into Plymouth territory for a goal which ended the game with a score of 1-0. BOURNE 0— MIDDLEBORO 1 The game with Plymouth had given Bourne renewed ambition, but as the game began it seemed as though Middleboro was also set on winning. During the first part it was difficult to determine, who the victors might be. As the game progressed Bourne began having a little difficulty holding back their op- ponents and finally Middleboro pushed the ball through the goal. No further scoring was made during the remaining part of the game and when the final whistle blew Middleboro had won, 1 to 0. BOURNE 0— MIDDLEBORO 0 The hockey season was drawing to a close and Bourne played her last game with Middleboro. No team likes to lose their last game and our girls were no exception. Both teams tried as hard as they could but neither of them seemed able to make any headway, with no scoring for either side. Lunge Bully Drive Bourne Hio,h School Fortv-seven J Seated ' .

First Team T he sports-minded girls o£ Bourne High, turned out in large numbers for the first basketball prac- tice of the season. Many of them had to be eliminated, but with our interscholastic season ending early, there would be ample time for intramurals in the spring. The future first team settled down to practicing two nights every week. This year it seemed as though the boys were not the only ones trying for the Upper Cape Champ- ionship. Yes — the girls w ' ere to have their Upper Cape Champs also. The trophy was similar to that of the boys’ and was looked upon with envy by every girls’ Basketball Team in the Upper Cape Division. The weeks passed swiftly and before we realized it, it was time for our first game with Harwich. Because of our perfect passwork and coordination as a team we managed to come through with a final score of 20 to 15. Our next game was not quite that easy and we tasted our first bit of defeat at the hands of the Sandwich girls. This made us all the more determined to put more thought into our practices. We tried hard for the Girls’ Upper Cape Championship, but were eliminated in a fast and thrill- ing game with Sandwich. We didn’t win the trophy this year — but after all, we still have next year to look forward to. It was with reluctance that we watched the basketball season move out, leaving room for the new sports that come along with the approaching spring weather. We all want to thank Miss Holden for making our basketball memories such pleasant ones.

Second Team F rom the large number of girls that went out for basketball, eleven were chosen for the second team. After this had been accomplished, they then settled down to many muscle build- ing practices under the watchful eyes of Miss HcHen. The first few practices proved to be a little stiffening, but after that everything went along smoothly. The weeks rolled by and these husky ball players were soon given a chance to display their prowess. The first game of the season turned out to be with the Falmouth girls. It was a fast and exciting exhibition, and the teams being evenly matched, ended with a 17-17 score. Their next game proved to be more successful and the inspired second team came through with a 20-17 victory over the Wareham girls. Although the next contest did not live up to the expectations of everyone, it was well worth seeing. Maybe Yarmouth did beat them by a score of 25-9 but their old fight and excellent sportsmanship couldn’t be downed. The girls fought right up to the very last minute of the game. Though the second team did not have regular white uniforms as the first teamers did. they didn’t seem to mind a bit. After all — it takes more than a uniform to make a good basketball player and I am sure that the girls realized this. Bourne 17 SECOND TEAM SCORES Falmouth 17 Bourne 17 Wareham 19 Bourne 21 Wareham 17 Bourne 13 Falmouth 18 Bourne 9 Yarmouth 25 Bourne High School Forty-nine Cheerleaders ■jVTAY 16, 1948, was an exciting day for the girls of Bourne High School, for cheerleading tryouts were to be held that forenoon. It was a tense afternoon as the votes were being counted, but the seven looked forward to this sensational season. Last year three of the girls helped cheer the team to the Cape Cod Run- ners-up position. Why couldn’t they do it again, especially with the new encouraging and influencing talent? It was a great surprise when we learned that we were to cheer for the fellows who were to play in the Brockton Tournament. We shall never forget the fun we had cheering when the tournament game finally came. That, we believe, was the biggest thrill during basketball season. It was a blow to all of us to lose one of the most promising new cheerleaders, Pat Condon, during this most famous season. We wish to thank her also for all she did while cheering with us during foot- ball seasons. However, her place was soon taken over by Carol Dwyer, who has so diligently helped to cheer our team on to victory. Now as this season draws its shades and comes slowly to a close, we all have our faces turned to- ward next year’s fighting teams with their cheerleaders and student body behind them and their success spread before them. tension was released as the seven names, old and new, were read that night in each home-room. You never saw seven happier girls leave school that afternoon than Di, El, Pat, Bette, Stymie, Patty, and Line. Three of them were juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen. It was the first time two freshmen had ever been chosen. Last fall as the cheering season drew near, excitement gripped the purple and white girls. They practiced daily for the first few weeks trying desperately to get a new cheer which would thrill and in- spire the student body with the much needed school spirit. The first football game found them parading boldly and proudly on and around the field with heads and hearts high, ready to cheer their team on to victory or defeat. Football season actually flew by. A pep rally was given almost every week before a game with each girl taking charge of not less than one. Dances, under the auspices of the cheerleaders, were given almost every week on Saturday night after the games. They were very well attended by the faculty as well as the student body and fun was had by all. One dance we were especially proud of was the Sadie Hawkins Dance”. At first we thought it would be a flop, but being Leap Year the girls asked their favorite fellows, and in the end it turned out to be the big- gest record dance ever held at Bourne High. We were quite proud of our achievements and want to thank everyone who took a part in helping to make them such a big success. After Thanksgiv- ing the thought of basketball filled the minds of students.
