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.

Bourne Hi h School I hirtv-five Orchestra T he Shawme Orchestra, directed by Mr. Adolpho Querze, is composed oi the musically-inclined stu- dents of the Bourne and Sandwich high schools. 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.

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.
