Bourne High School Eleven Left to right: R. 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.
