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.

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.
