CANAL CURRENTS PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL Bourne, Massachusetts Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-one Two Canal Currents - 1951 mi i From w here, a glance ago, a gull had swooped through the sky to some warm nest below, Came a gust of stinging rain, half-mixed with snow. In that foggy mist I saw the sharp rocks, Like ancient fighters, sw ' ords upturned to meet the coming foe. For hours, it seemed, I watched the sight. When suddenly my world was shattered by a beam of light. It struck the sea and was reflected in A myriad of delights which shimmering, Disappeared — never to return. The sun shone upon the earth anew; The rocks became mere rocks again; The sea once more a twinkling field of blue Which stretched to where my eyes no longer saw. An autumn squall had touched the sea; It came and went in half an hour; It seemed to me eternity.

Little man, what now?” WILLIAM LEROY HARRISON General Course December 28, 1933 Bill’s favorite pastime is going to historical movies — His hobby is working on gas engines and he has spent many hours doctoring up his power mower.

Francis is a hard-working member of the class — He manages to find time to help out in all class activities, however, and is one of our best salesmen — His sense of humor is rare and some of the hamburg he cooks at the Buzzards Bay Newsstand is even rarer.

I shall laugh myself to death’’ Canal Currents - 1951 Eighteen HENRY PHILBRICK General Course June 20, 1932 Football 4. One of the quieter persons in the class, Henry is very dignified (when the teacher is looking) — he enjoys read- ing and has plans of becoming a farmer in the future — Henry has a peculiar weakness for English — we can’t imagine why!

Happy-go-lucky with her beautiful smile is our Mon- ica — the tallest of the three musketeers ”, she works part- time at Daley’s Pharmacy in B. B.

The class muscle man”, Joe is one of the best athletes around these parts — His sense of humor makes him popular with all the fellows (and not so unpopular with the girls).

Pat is one of the real go-getters of the class — a girl with a fast mind and a cheerful outlook on life — she is one of our peppiest cheerleaders and a most dependable class- mate. Pat has a strange liking for hazel eyes. Maybe they remind her of a certain ace pitcher for the Sagamore AA?

When Lois isn’t listening to Mr. Campbell with an enthralled look on her face, chances are you’ll find her day- dreaming ( about the high cost of living and a certain Bill! ) Lois has hopes of going to art school after graduation.

Their calls re-echo a mile or more away, Then fade until, as a song with no more to say, They die and go, leaving a sigh which lingers. Heaven is streaked with gossamer clouds of pink, And jagged lines of yellow divide the sky like some old country fence posts guarding the horizon. A gray shadow falls over the world. A cobweb of clouds and evening sky covers the landscape. The sun becomes a mere red line, then fades from view. Now the air is still and heavy; Every noise is magnified a thousand times and more. A star, bright as a firefly at midnight, gleams in the firmament. Another and another shine forth until there are a multitude, which twinkle on the world below and show particles of heaven to us on earth, Who talk about such things, but never know. Night falls with only a whisper; A sheet of ink studded with jewels, And the gulls have winged their way nestward Long before things were endless as this. Gloria Gallerani, ’51 Twenty-four Canal Currents - 1951 The Class of 1952 O N September 7, 1951, the Juniors gayly paraded up the front walk, opened the door and walked down the corridor. After skipping up the stairs, they marched down the upper corridor and took their seats. Where did they take these seats? Not in the regular Junior room. Oh, no! Not these Juniors! They had such a bulging class that they had to use the study hall for their homeroom. In the latter part of September, the Juniors held a class meeting. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Butler, their new homeroom teacher, they undertook the duty of elect- ing class officers. After this was accomplished they decided to give a square dance. Although there were many doubts as to the success of the outcome of this venture, it really turned out successfully. This was not only a fine way to have fun, but also a money-making proposition. So what happened? These wise old Juniors put on another square dance which went off equally as well as the first. Because the dances that the Juniors gave were so successful, Mr. Coady asked them to plan the Christmas party. The Juniors gladly began to decorate the hall, order re- freshments, and plan the entertainment. As was expected, everyone enjoyed himself immensely. In order to earn more money, these money-minded Juniors decided to hold paper drives on the last Sunday of every month. And, consequently, on these appointed days, the Juniors put on their old clothes, piled into trucks and canvassed the town for scrap paper. One day, in the early part of November, the Juniors were seen walking around B.H.S. with proud and beaming faces. Upon examination, we found that the reason for these happy faces was the arrival of their class rings. These Juniors, however, seem- ed to have a prouder air than most classes have had. When this attitude was in- vestigated, it was discovered that they were the first class for a period of about ten years who had stones in their rings. Further inspection of these rings showed a little gold B set neatly on a black onyx stone which was placed in a gold setting. These Juniors were not only ambitious, but they also proved to be very athletic. They are especially proud of the Bradford twins, who did a superb job of representing their class on the football field, where Bob Collis, another Junior, was showing his ath- letic ability as captain-elect. The outstanding girl athletes in the class, who played on the basketball team, were Beth Cook, Shirley Robbins, and Front row ( . to r.) : K. Michelson, D. Sawtell Back row: M. Gibbs, H.

Boyd. the basketball team, were Beth Cook, Shirley Robbins, and Laurianne Handy. It is very gratifying to know that these outstanding players will be here next year to roll the Purple Wave on to victory. When February came around, the Juniors began to do some serious thinking about the annual Junior Prom. The first thing they had to do was to decide on a theme. After this was decided, they began making decorations and selling tickets. The class hired Joe Pioppi’s orchestra for the big night,” and the dance, which was held on May 18, was, as the traditional Junior Proms always are, a ' whopping” success. Another event in which a lot of the Juniors took part, was the Driver Training Course. This course, which was started last year, teaches any pupil the mechanics of a car and how to drive it. By taking this course, a pupil is taught the correct and safe ways of operating a car and, therefore, will be one of the Safe Drivers of Tomorrow. All in all, this has been another successful year for the Juniors. It is sincerely hoped that their next year will be equally as successful and that, when they march down the aisle wearing their caps and gowns, they will be well prepared to walk the road of life. Twenty-six Canal Currents - 1951 The Class of 1953 S EPTEMBER 6, 1950, found Bourne High coming to life again with the beginning of another school year. The first few days the Sophomores spent renewing old friend- ships and becoming acquainted with the new faces in the class. The students were happy to find that Mrs. Kiniry was once again their class adviser. During a lull in this commotion, the students settled down to the business of the first class meeting. Walter Stahura was again elected president, Robert Smith, vice- president, Elaine Mather, secretary and Donald Waters the new treasurer. Halloween found the students of room twenty-one planning a party for the entire school. Posters, having been drawn, were distributed throughout the school and every- one was seen in the Halloween spirit. When the big night finally arrived, all school work was laid aside as the party got underway. During the evening the dances varied greatly, but the square dances were most enjoyed. Did you get a load of Mr. Coady? In the evening a plague of Pinitis” broke out, which greatly diminished the popu- lation of the decorative balloons. The party broke up at eleven and all went home happily tired. As the football season came into view, the commotion was once more resumed. Football practices found a number of Sophomore boys out on the gridiron getting ready for the Saturday games. Some of the boys must not have gotten enough of the game in the fall, for they eagerly went out for spring training. The anticipation of basketball seemed to have been in the air even before the season actually began. When finally it was officially announced, everyone from the Soph- omore Class was out on the court trying out for both boys’ and girls ' teams. Those that actually made the teams surely did their parts in help- ing the teams win. Elaine and Marilyn were two members of the team who were always there, name- ly, the managers. Though it took Marilyn some time to learn this sport, she did well once she learned it. In mentioning the sports, that of the cheerleaders must not be left unsaid. Arlene Rovatti was elected as one of the eight and she did her part in forming a neat squad. As a substitute for one of the games, Jerry Rovatti pitched in and did a great job. This year. Sophomore boys’ voices as well as girls’ could be heard blending with the group as they sang during the Glee Club special periods every Thursday morning. The boys’ voices proved most in- Left to right: R. Smith, E. Mather, W. Stahura Bourne High School Twenty-seven First Row ( left to right) : D. Anderson, C. Wallace, L. Babcock, R. Smith, D.

Not only did the Sophomores display their musical talent in the Glee Club, but also in the Shawme Orchestra, four good players hailed from the tenth grade. Those literary minded students showed their interest in the Yearbook Staff as well as in the library. Others from the class, finding advertising and sports more inter- esting, contributed much in these lines. Walter Hammond and Lawrence Babcock, the only members of the group in the art class, learned much and will have to pass their knowledge on to the less artistic students of the class. The Sophomores lost one of their classmates to the service and, though they are sure he is doing well, we re sorry to have lost him. Twenty-eight Canal Currents - 1951 The Class of 1954 T HIRTEEN score and seven days ago our teachers met and contended with a new class conceived in deviltry and dedicated to the proposition that they should be heard and not seen. Nevertheless, there proved to be quite a number of industrious students in the class of ’54, as the honor roll showed later. Many of them took their studies seriously and proved to the upperclassmen that they were not just another class, but a bunch of potential genuises. Their first class meeting was held on October 2, 1950 with Mr. Campbell super- vising. This day was especially important to three members of the class, for Dick Smith, Louis Papi, and Polly Norris were chosen president, vice-president, and secretary- treasurer, respectively. At this meeting the Freshmen also voted on the amount of class dues, which turned out to be twenty-five cents per month. Each autumn zillions of leaves fall to the ground, and this year several energetic Freshmen followed their example on the football field. Among these, three saw con- siderable action. Two guards, Wayne Regan and Ben Tobey, accompanied by Billy Haskell at center, exhibited their excellent football qualities, playing in the regular lineup. The next sport, basketball, introduced more Freshmen to the public eye. Those who attended the games enjoyed watching the second team, which consisted almost entirely of Freshmen. Those who made their debut in high school basketball were Dick Smith, Wayne Regan, John Robbins, Archie Rovatti, Jor- dan Phinney, Jackie Ladetto, and Wallace Alden. The girls also took an ac- tive interest in basketball. On the first team three forwards, Clara White, Judy Sorenti, and Nancy Kelly wrapped up many important points, and Meredith Muir played guard, representing her class on the second team. Another interest of the class is music. This year there were three Freshmen that be- longed to the Shawme Or- chestra. Anne Harrison, vio- lin; Benny Bigelow, violin; and James Atherton, flute.

Some of the girls have exceptionally good voices and may put them to good use later on. From September 7 to March 9 the Freshmen were helped over the hard bumps of high school life by their class adviser, Mr. Campbell. Flowever, on the latter date Mr. Campbell found it necessary to discontinue his job of teaching at Bourne High School, and Mr. Jillson is now taking his place. We regret tha t future classes will not be able to enjoy the privilege of knowing Mr. Campbell. We also wish him all the luck in the world and hope that he will return to Bourne often. Their first year at Bourne High has been an experience that the Freshmen will never forget, and each one hopes that the coming years will be as enjoyable as the last.

Art Club T HURSDAYS, during special periods the serenity of the mechanical drawing room is disturbed by the presence of the enterprising students who are members of this year ' s Art Club. Recently under the able direction of Mrs. Walker they have ventured into a field of art previously unexplored by most of them. Our talented pals decided to try their hand at making and manipulating the famous Greek dolls known as puppets. Cecily Grist has chosen two characters from the opera, Madame Butterfly, while Phoebe Robbins is making the more humorous figure of Mor- timer Snerd. The students are devoting most of their time to this project, and so far their efforts have been well rewarded. Earlier in the year they reviewed the fundamentals and then considered cartooning. Although this art proved to be a delightful pastime, puppetry was more intriguing and our artists gave up their careers as humorists. At Christmas Joan Draper and Cecily Grist took time out from their usual activities to paint the attractive Christmas scene at the Buzzards Bay rotary circle. Amid the brightly decorated evergreens they placed a plump Santa in his sleigh, led by two rein- deer. This display drew much attention and Joan and Cecily were congratulated by many for their fine contribution to the Christmas display of the town. When the class play rolled around, Joan Draper was again asked to contribute her talents to the scenery. She willingly gave her time and effort to the task and did an admirable job of it. What will they think of next? Well, whatever it may be, we can be sure that with so competent a leader their attempts will be culminated by success. All those who have studied under Mrs. Walker and received her valuable train- ing wish to thank her. They are very grateful for her kindly interest in their work, and especially for her never-ending assistance. Thirty-four Canal Currents - 1951 First Row ( left to right): D. LaChapelle, S.

Directing: James Stevens Glee Club T HE Bourne High Glee Club first met this season in the school auditorium about the middle of September. It was found that the boys, unlike the previous year, were clamoring to participate. Under the direction of Mr. Stevens, the new music teacher, the Glee Club got off to a rousing start. At the first few sessions, the Glee Club participants and their new teacher became well acquainted and began discussing the music to be undertaken during the school year. With the Christmas music coming on, the students practiced some of the selections they had previously picked before starting the practice on traditional Christmas songs. With the coming of December, the Glee Club gave a pleasant herald of Christmas with the singing of such songs as Jingle Bells,” O Come All Ye Faithful,” and Silent Night.” Three days before Christmas the Glee Club sang Holy Night” before the student body, the solo part of which was sung by Elaine Mather of the Sophomore Class. After conclusion of the holiday season, the Glee Club discussed the prospect of outside performances to add interest to the group. During the months before graduation, the musical students buckled down and worked hard on some selections that Mr. Stevens chose for them. Every Thursday morning the music echoed through the halls of school and though the Glee Club did not actually give a performance for the student body, they made some interesting music at this time for them. For commencement, the Glee Club will sing the Pilgrims Chorus, which it has greatly practiced, with the Shawme Orchestra. At the close of the school year, the students of the Glee Club will reluctantly hand in their music and say good-bye to Mr. Stevens and Old Faithful,” the piano.

Shawme Orchestra M USIC has advanced immensely from the skin drum of prehistoric man down to the great symphonies of the present era. The Shawme Orchestra may not be any great symphony but it is a musical congregation of great value to the school; a group that is always willing to play for a civic or school function. The purpose of the orchestra is to stimulate an interest in music among the students and to further the education among its members. Twenty-nine pupils from Bourne, Sagamore, and Sandwich comprise the orchestra. Rehearsals are held every Monday night at either Bourne or Sandwich High School, with every pupil’s mind devoted to his work. So far this year they have done outstand- ing work by playing at one of the meetings of the Bourne Parent Teachers ' Association. At Bourne High School the orchestra played during the Christmas party. On both oc- casions they were most deeply appreciated and admired for their work. They are looking forward with great anticipation to playing at the Bourne and Sandwich graduations and also at the Bourne High School senior class play, at which they will play between acts. The Shawme Orchestra is ably directed by Mr. James Stevens, one of the new teachers at Bourne High School this year. Mr. Stevens deserves much credit for his fine w r ork in making the orchestra a success. Without his guidance and instruction, the band would not be the important civic organization which it is.

Senior Play T HE Class of 1951 decided to put on, as the traditional senior dramatic production, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay,” a comedy about the problems and antics of two girls from Bryn Mawr who are on their way to Paris for a summer vacation. The cast: Steward Mrs. Skinner Cornelia Otis Skinner Otis Skinner Emily Kimbrough Purser Stewardess Dick Winters Admiral Harriet St. John Winifred Blaugh Leo McEvoy Inspector Therese Madame Elise Monsieur De LaCroix Window Cleaner Joseph Sorenti Cecily Grist Gloria Gallerani Stuart Small Monica Robbins Robert Eldridge Mary Wallace Leonard Sylvia James Dixon Irene Nightingale Patricia Sorenti Barry O’Rourke Shirley Knight Lorraine Besse Marjorie Keating Francis LaChapelle Robert Holman It was decided that the evening of April 6 would be the time when the great Senior actors would make their debuts. Everyone was soon hard at work on all phases of stage and dramatic work, and interest was stimulated in the school by the soliciting of dresses (in the styles of the 1920’s) and old French antiques. Bourne High School Thirty-seven The weeks seemed to drag by for the members of the cast, but finally the sun set on the night of April 6 and the curtain folded back on Act I of ' Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. The first two minutes of the play were nerve-racking ( and may it be said that a few pairs of knees were heard knocking together? ) but soon the cast lost all stage fright and began living their roles. The scene of the first act was on board ship, where the antics of Joe Sorenti, as the bewildered steward, kept the audi- ence in stitches. The girls had two safety pockets, with which their mothers had thoughtfully provided them before leaving on the trip. These pockets kept turning up throughout the entire play even though the girls tried to get rid of them. As the lights dimmed for Act II, the cast had really settled down to the business of acting and the audience was kept on the edge of their seats by the hilarious escapades of the two heroines. Emily Kimbrough and Cornelia Skinner. In this scene, Cornelia contracts measles and is smuggled off the ship by her friends. In Act II the girls were terrified by a gas meter which ex- ploded at regular intervals. The audience was jolted out of their seats by four explosions ( and Cornelia was jolted out of the bathtub ) . When Cornelia awoke from her slumbers in the huge, old French bed in their hotel room in Paris, she began scratching her back and arms w ' ith fur) ' . When she explored the bed, she found the cause of her discomfort as bedbugs! (by this time the audi- ence was rolling in the aisles.) When the final curtain w ' as dropped, the applause was thun- derous and the whole cast (and coach) sighed with relief. Every- one agreed that Our Hearts Were Young and Gay” had been one of the best plays ever put on at Bourne High. The Senior Class, we know, will remember this dramatic en- deavor for many years, and be assured that they w ' ill never forget the work that Mrs. Kiniry put into this production. Without her excellent coaching the play could not have been the success that it was. The Senior Class also owes much of the success of the play to Miss Holden and Miss Thayer. Their aid in costumes, lighting, and properties was invaluable. Thirty-eight Canal Currents - 1951 Standing ( left to right)-. B. Clegg, S. Andrews, S. Mitchell, A. Harrison, A. Morse, J.

The fifteen librarians who alternate weekly are directed by Mrs. Kiniry. They all do a very good job in the regular library duties, and some have special duties: Cecily Grist orders all new books and catalogues all the library books; Francis LaChap- pelle has charge of the magazines and newspaper; Carla Wordell lists regularly, the overdue books. Mrs. Kiniry has a meeting of the librarians when and if any difficulty arises, but for the most part the librarians me their own judgment.. This year something new has been added which has proved successful. This is the introduction of many popular magazines such as Life, Saturday Evening Post, and Look. The magazines are enjoyed by all even though they are a month behind. Bourne High can still keep abreast of the current events though, for a daily newspaper is taken. The sports page is the most read section (it’s practically falling apart at the end of the day) but the history classes and a few other students find the rest of the paper is also useful and interesting. This year a great imp rove men: has been made by the many good, new books. They are chosen by Mrs. Kiniry. who knows what interests high school students, for the books never stay on the shelves long. One of the books which everyone enjoys came directly from the author, Salom Rizke, who visited Eourne High and gave a very interesting talk. The success of the library is due particularly to one person who has given up much of her time to help the Bourne students. She has made an improvement in the school through rhr librarv wh h wdl remain forever, we hope. To her we should all give thanks. Thank you, Mrs. Kiniry. 20 !!

Football A VERAGING a little over fourteen points scored per game, Bourne High School’s football team ended this season as the highest scoring team on Cape Cod. Under the leadership of their new coach, Mr. Comings, and co-captains Joe Sorenti and Bobby Holman, the Purple started fast by defeating their first two opponents by overwhelming scores. After experiencing a mid-season slump, the team came back with a rush to win one and turn in two near-upsets in their last three games. These near-upsets over highly favored opposition hold forth much promise for next year’s team since over half of this year’s varsity will be returning. BOURNE 26 — MARSHFIELD 0 Bourne opened the se ason by burying Marshfield 26-0 on the Bourne field to atone for last year’s defeat. However, the victory was costly as the Purple lost their star half- back, Bobby Holman, during the first few minutes due to a broken collar bone. Don Waters scored the season ' s first TD on a 5 -yard plunge early in the game. Joe Sorenti rushed for the extra point. Bourne quickly added another one on a beautiful pass play from Sorenti to Putsie Stahura that covered 90 yards in all. These two reversed assign- ments for Bourne’s next TD with Putsie throwing a 20-yard pass to Jo-Jo. Carl Bradford kicked the extra point. Gil Bradford ended the day’s scoring by taking a 20-yard Sorenti pass in the last quarter for the score. Bourne High School Forty-one BOURNE 28 — YARMOUTH 7 In a very rough game, which saw Joe Sorenti score two touchdowns and two extra points. Bourne crushed highly favored i armouth. This game was also featured by an injury as Stuie Small, regular center, was lost for the rest of the season because of an injured knee. Sornti al„o figured in the other Eourne scores as he tossed a 30 yard pass to Putsie Stahura and another 25-yard pass to Gil Bradford for two more touch- downs. Gil and Carl Bradford each added an extra point to these scores. BOURNE 6 — FALMOUTH 19 In this traditional game Bourne was out-played by a hard-fighting Falmouth team. Bourne’s only score came late in the game. The play, which began in Bourne’s 15 -yard line, started as a Joe Sorenti rush. With about 60 yards to go he lateraled the ball to Carl Bradford who took it the rest of the way. BOURNE 12 — DARTMOUTH 20 This game saw Dartmouth take an early 20-0 lead and then fight for its life as a last period rally by Bourne fell one touchdown short. This drive was led by Gil Brad- ford and Putsie Stahura. On a fake punt on fourth down Putsie threw a pass to Gilbert that covered 60 yards. The rally died only at the final gun as on the game ' s last play Putsie again connected with Gil from 20 yards out. BOURNE 0 — DIGHTON 27 A powerful Dighton team, last year’s Class D champions, ran over a game, but outclassed, Bourne team. BOURNE 13 — SCITUATE 26 In a game during which more than 200 yards in penalties was called against Bourne, the Purple again found it necessary ' to come up off the floor to make a game of it. Trailing 20-0, Joe Sorenti combined with Gil Bradford to pull off the old sleeper play. The pass from Jo-Jo covered 60 yards for the score. Bourne’s scoring for the day was ended by Pete Duval who plunged into the end-zone from six yards out. Gil Bradford kicked the extra point. BOURNE 20 — PROVINCETOWN 7 Bourne ended a four-game losing streak by defeating P-Town at the Cape tip. Joe Sorenti added twelve points to his scoring total on two T-sneaks, one from the 3-yard line and one from the 1-yard line. Gil Bradford kicked the extra points after both touchdowms. Sandwiched between these two scores was a 20-yard TD run in the third quarter by Don Waters, who played an exceptional game for the Purple. Also out- standing was Jim Dixon who played a great game at the end. BOURNE 12 — WAYLAND 19 Against w ' hat was undoubtedly one of the state’s best Class D teams Bourne nearly turned in the upset of the year. Behind at halftime Bourne came back to completely outfiight Wayland in the second half and nearly win the game. Joe Sorenti started the Purple’s scoring by going over on a T-sneak. Ernie Forni kept it up as he went over from the 4-yard line a few minutes later. Even as the gun went off to end one of the best games seen in Bourne in years the Purple was in Wayland’s territory and heading toward their goal line. BOURNE 12 — WAREHAM 19 Turkey Day found Bourne playing traditional rival Wareham, and for the second game in a row they nearly turned in a stunning upset. Underdogs for this game by at least twenty points, the Purple left the field at half-time wdth a 6-0 lead as a result of a 20-yard pass from Joe Sorenti to Jim Dixon in the second quarter. However Bourne couldn ' t stand off Wareham ' s tremendous reserve strength forever. Wareham ground over three touchdowns in the second half to Bourne’s one. Soren ti again figured in this score as he threw a 40-yard pass to Ernie Forni in the end-zone. Joe Sorenti and Jim Dixon both played a great game in their final high school game. 1 .

Basketball B OURNE High School ' s 1950-51 basketball team, captained by Joe Sorenti, Jimmy Dixon, and Bobby Holman, finished the season with a record of ten victories and six defeats. One of the highest-scoring teams ever to represent this school, Bourne scored 896 points during the season for an average of 56 points per game; the com- bined opposition scored 728 points for only a 45.5 average per game. BOURNE 69 — WELLFLEET 36 Bourne High School started the 1950-51 basketball season in fine fashion by trampling a weak Wellfleet team. With Gil Bradford (30), Carl Bradford (18), and Putsie Stahura (14) combining to score 62 points, the Purple breezed from start to finish. BOURNE 64 — B. A. A. SECOND TEAM 32 With the Bradford twins hitting for one more point tha n the entire B.A.A. Sec- ond Team, Bourne experienced no difficulty in beating a team partly composed of former high school players. Putsie Stahura also hit double figures with 12 points. BOURNE 65 — SANDWICH 27 Bourne’s first league game of the season saw the Purple walk all over an out- classed Sandwich team. With Gil Bradford scoring 23 points, Bourne extended a 39-9 half-time lead to a final margin of 38 points. BOURNE 28 — WAREHAM 41 In an exhibition game played during the Christmas vacation for the benefit of the soldiers stationed at Camp Edwards, Wareham upset Bourne on the Arena floor. Carl Bradford led the unusually weak Bourne attack with 12 points. BOURNE 61 — FALMOUTH 47 Gil Bradford and Putsie Stahura each hit for 17 points to put Bourne back on the victory trail. After trailing by 2 points at the end of the first quarter, the Purple scored 24 points in the second period to take a 38-27 half-time lead which they never lost. Forty-four Canal Currents - 195 BOURNE 81 — ORLEANS 42 In what was figured to be a close game Bourne ran away and hid from an over- rated Orleans team. Gil Bradford poured 34 points through the hoop to lead a Purple team which almost doubled its opponent’s score. BOURNE 44 — PROVINCETOWN 66 Provincetown proved too much for Bourne on their home court. They scored 15 points to the Purple’s six in the third quarter to insure the victory. Gil Bradford and Jim Dixon scored 14 and 13 points, respectively, in a losing cause. BOURNE 25 — YARMOUTH 40 Bourne journeyed to Yarmouth for this crucial game and came up with their lowest point total of the year. The Purple, considerably hampered by such a small court, just never could get started. BOURNE 55 — BARNSTABLE 42 The Purple Wave bounced back from two consecutive defeats to tear apart a highly-rated Barnstable team. With Joe Sorenti controlling the boards and the Brad ford twins hitting for 35 points, Bourne widened a half-time margin of one point to its final proportions. BOURNE 54 — FALMOUTH 50 Bourne overcame an 18-13 first period deficit to walk off the floor at half-time with a 35-26 lead. The game wasn ' t as close as the score indicates, for Falmouth scored most of their points after two Purple regulars had fouled out. Carl Bradford was high man with 21 points. BOURNE 59 — WAREHAM 61 In a ball game that was in doubt until the last second Wareham managed to pull out a close decision from Bourne on the Wareham court. Trailing 46-36 after three periods, the Purple scored 2.3 points to Wareham ' s 15 in the final quarter to come within two points of winning. BOURNE 60 — SANDWICH 42 Carl Bradford scored 20 points to lead Bourne to a rather easy victory over Sand- wich. The Purple scored 28 points in the second quarter to earn a 41-17 half-time margin. Thereafter the decision was never in doubt, and the Purple coasted the rest of the way. BOURNE 71 — HARWICH 49 With Carl Bradford scoring 29 points and Gil 21, Bourne romped over Harwich on the Bourne court. Putsie Stahura gave olenty of assistance with 15 points in a game that was never in doubt after the first half. BOURNE 51 — BARNSTABLE 55 The Purple Wave journeyed to Hvannis to play a crucial game against Barnstable. Barnstable finally won this nip and tuck game with some long-distance shooting in the fourth quarter. Carl Bradford led the Bourne scorers with 18 points as the lead changed hands three times in this hectic game. BOURNE 63 — WAREHAM 48 With Jimmy Dixon scoring 22 points and playing a fine all-around game. Bourne swept to a surprisingly easy victory over Wareham. Dixon and Gil Bradford ( 18 points) led a Bourne attack that saw four of the starting five hit double figures. BOURNE 46 — YARMOUTH 50 Bourne came within an ace of winning the Upper Cape championship in this game. Trailing by seven points at half-time, the Purnle Wave fought to tie the game, 34-34. at the end of the third period. With Carl Bradford scoring 17 points to lead the way. Bourne continued their uprising but couldn’t quite manage to outscore a fast and tall Yarmouth team. INDIVIDUAL SCORES G. Bradford 282 R. Haslam 6 C. Bradford 260 R. Holman 5 W. Stahura 167 D.

The team, composed almost entirely of sophomores and fresh- men, played a good brand of ball during the season and gained valuable experience. The Jayvees scored 344 points for an average of 34.4 points per game. Some of the members of this team will most likely use in next year’s first team games the ex- perience gained this season.

First Team T HE Bourne High girls had a rather successful season this year with eight wins and five defeats. They finished second in the Upper Cape League winning five games and losing three. The highlight of the season was Bourne’s defeating Barn- stable on the latter ' s home court. The forwards scored 481 points in 13 games, making an average of 37 points per game. The forwards alone, however, cannot win a game. They need the support of the guards, who played very well this season. P. Sorenti and A. Rovatti were chosen co-captains by the squad and their playing throughout the season showed that the girls had made a wise choice. The squad consisted largely of underclassmen which makes the prospects of a championship team in the future very good.

Girls’ Basketball II I ROM the many girls that went out for basketball fifteen were chosen to make up • the second team. Before their interscholastic competition started, the girls chose F. Kelley and G. Rovatti co-captains. The girls had a record of six wins out of eight games. They won their first six games but then received a defeat at the hands of Wareham. A lot of these victories can be attributed to the art of teamwork, which the second team has perfected. This also made their games more interesting to watch. The girls scored 186 points in eight games for an average of 23-2 points per game. F. Kelley was high scorer with 82 points. The good record of the second team greatly improves the hopes for a champion- ship first team in the future. SEASON ' S RECORD INDIVIDUAL SCORING Bourne 29 Falmouth 27 F.

The veterans and very nervous new- comers went through their routines. That afternoon at the close of school, the names of the girls chosen were posted on the bulletin board. Those selected were Pat Sorenti, Joan Forrest, Elaine Waterman, Mary Wallace, Eleanor Gallo, Karen Michelson, Barbara Cassidy, and Arlene Rovatti, alternate. When school opened in the fall, the girls realized that it was a very short time until the first football game and the cheering time. In preparation for this big day the girls started to practice diligently. The third Saturday in September was the day of the first football game and chance for the student body to see the cheering squad in action. On this day and through- out the football season the B.H.S. girls cheered the fellows on to victory and defeat with the same enthusiasm. Near the end of the football season one of the new cheerleaders, Elaine Waterman, left. Arlene Rovatti took up where Elaine left off and helped to cheer the fellows on through the football season. With Thanksgiving and the end of the football season the spirit of Bourne High turned to basketball. The Bourne High girls strove to raise this spirit with new cheers. Among the best was The Star Yell: Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars. Have you seen the Bourne High Stars? Are they stars? Well I guess! They’re the stars of B.H.S. Basketball season found the cheerleaders in need of new uniforms. It was decided that they would be bought, but alas . . . one thing was lacking . . . money. The girls organized a basketball game between the faculty and student body to help pay for the uniforms. The game was a hilarious one with the student body winning. More important though it was a financial success. Throughout the whole school year there were seven active cheerleaders at Bourne High. Whether their task was cheering at a game, organizing a pep rally, arranging a basketball game or teaching the other girls the tricks of cheerleading, they set to work on it with the needed initiative and high spirits that make a good cheerleader.

Athletic Association W E know that the energetic people who sell and collect tickets at the football games are members of the Athletic Association at Bourne High School, but do we know much about their organization? Here are a few facts which should be of interest to all those who like sports or who belong to Bourne High. The Athletic Association is made up entirely of volunteers from all classes. These people give up their time by getting to the games early and some don ' t get to see much of the games at all. With Mr. Gray as their adviser, they started the year by electing the following officers: president, Faith Kelley; vice-president, Lois Tripp; and secretary- treasurer, Shannon Taylor. One of the first jobs confronting the Athletic Association this year was selling the student season tickets, which are a great saving for those who attend many games. The showing was good, with 81 per cent of the student body buying tickets. This per cent could be higher, however, and the Association is hoping that in the near future the goal of 100 per cent may be reached. During the football season, the Athletic Association sold Coke and potato chips at the refreshment booth next to the field, where they could be both seen and heard. At these football games, the yelling of Beth Cook and Faith Kelley rivaled the cheer- leaders of both teams. The annual Athletic Association banquet, held in the spring, is an event looked forward to by both the Athletic Association and the student body. It is put on with the help and co-operation of the Home Economics’ Department. The Athletic Association has done a fine job this year; keep up the good work!
