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.

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.
