1 Ow yvA-co jU «aau. I I‘) J JLo-Vvvvvyv- A fire-mist and a planet — a crystal and a cell — a jellyfish and a saurian, and caves where the cave-men dwell. Then a sense of Law and Beauty, and face turned from the sod — some call it evolution: and others call it God. Ours is a great purple ocean — deep, rich, vibrant — -an ocean of twelve years; this being but another mighty wave which has swelled with grandeur and a thousand hopes — ready now to evolve into a majestic spray of a million happy dreams and memories. This is the wave of ’5 5 -’5 6. Purple is the royal color— rich, true, lingering. So are we — the heart of Bourne High School — a pulsing, rolling, purple wave. We are rich in life’s fundamentals, in friendships, in ' recceation, in know- ledge — and climaxipg ' our wave is a foam of young fa?:e ll cleans all bright, al JaojS ul, all looking to God for guidance in strong and faithful future. The wave shall not end nowM annot crash upon some desolate beach of ended hopes — rather ii ffrun on to be swallowed by the currents of life until all our dreams, our plans, our hopes are blended as one heaving ocean — splendid, powerful — yet serene under the Hand which calms all waters. Never be afraid to dream, for in dreams are all new worlds born. Never be afraid to pray, to look for the beauty of God in a mighty ocean, or in a sunset, or in an iron-rooted tree. Never be afraid of humility or faith; walk gladly with courage and determination. Seek out a star in every sky, even on cloudy nights, and set a strong, true course. For life is living, an experience, a tangible evo- lution of ten billion worlds and ways — all coinciding, rushing, swirling into breathtaking waves. This is a sample of our wave, a bit of purple spray caught forever in the covers of a book Editor S( Canal -Jch in ow (ecigcnients Mr. John Margarones, Advisor Miss Ann Gedges Mr. Robert Kendall Mr. Richard Jackson Page Administration 7 Edit or-in-C hie f Faith Jackson Seniors 19 Advisor Mr. John Margarones Underclassmen 33 Sports 41 Activities 49 Advertising 61 Cut Hint dedication . . . His life is gentle; and the elements so mixed in him, that Nature might stand up and say to all the ivorld — ' This is a man’! Life, in itself, is but a winking flame in the space of eter- nity — and to accomplish, a man must work with his hands, his mind, and his heart. A good man serves of himself, giving tire- lessly of time and effort. But he remembers to plant ideals, con- scientiousness, and faith in the lives of those about him; from the youth he inspires the men and women of tomorrow — the world of the future. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” To Mr. Peebles, our Superintendent of Schools, a man whose effort and devotion have planted in our hearts and minds a vision of the future, and a hope and faith for all the tomorrows, we, with gratitude and love, dedicate our 1956 yearbook.

All of us were finding a place in school life, getting used to new bells, books. And we had our own slate of Class Officers. We balloted and chose Ben Quimby for president. Sue Bradley for vice- president, Janet Cushing for secretary, and John White for treasurer. We had a fast moving program of dances, and a very important Mem- orial day assembly. Jim Jenkins and Ben Quim- b were our football players. We Joined all clubs and societies. Then came our first class picnic and Senior graduation. Then summer was gone — and we were very important people! Upperclassmen of the Bottom Floor — Sophs! And again Ben led us with John White vice- president, Clayt Moore for secretary and Jim Jenkins as banker in chief! We had a great bustle and rush to put on the very best Hal- loween party. Faith Jackson and Cynthia Courtney became our Student Council repre- sentatives. We worked terribly hard, and grew lots of school spirit — and longed for the great day when we could move upstairs and be Juniors. Another September, an dthere we were— inhabitants of the gay top floor. Mr. Matthews and Miss Lynch were our advisors — and we began to plan many exciting things like paper drives an dthe Prom. The Prom was our great social event of all our High School career. We had a large committee and went Over the Rainbow” into a beautiful world of imagi- nation. Our Christmas party centered around an original play called Fifth Avenue Scrooge”. We will never forget Jimmy Jenkins playing Santa Claus and losing his pillows! Or how splendidly our boys did in basketball, football, and baseball. Our Junior year was tremendous, but we were very eager to be on top and hold the coveted crown — Seniors. We made it at last — Kings of Bourne High. Our class dominated most athletic teams. We had a great football season, tied our old rivals — Wareham, unbeaten in many games! And then we surged on to take the Class D championship for Southeastern Massachusetts in basketball competition. John Gallo won the Sweeney Award, and he Chuck Cahoon, and Paul Rob- bins made the All Star team for the state. Our Class officers weer Victor Kim as president (back from the Junior year). Chuck Cahoon, vice-president; Janet Cushing, secretary; and Ben Quimby, treasurer. We began working feverishly to earn money for the great class trip to Washington, a long anticipated event! We had food sales, census taking, magazine sales, and we furnished refreshments at town meeting and the PTA talent show. We had a great Armistice Day assembly with the play, Bury the Dead”. But our great triumph was the annual class play, You’re Only Young Once”. Despite all the storms, we had a great success! Suddenly we are almost o ut the doors of Bourne High ... yet it seems like we have just entered. But behind us we leave many mem- ories and echoes of fun and companionship. Ahead is a beckoning future, full of work and adventure and living. And we have hearts full of Bourne Memories for all the Rainy days! 30 u C3 CX a I .9- o § .

Yes, after two years of being underclassmen, we had finally climbed to the upper floor. Now ' it was our turn to have sport lording it over the Freshmen and Sophomores. It was only a matter of a few weeks before we held our firs t class meeting. At this time we elected our class officers. T ey are: Robert Cushing, president; Philip Doucette, vice presi- dent; Lois Philbrick, secretary; and Sandra Neal, treasurer. Soon the football season began. Needless to say, many of our Junior boys went out for this favorite high school sport. Those who made first team were: Bob Cushing, Ed Wordell, Bob Pola, Phil Dousette, and Pete Cardoza. Most of us were present at all of these exciting football games. After the first few ' weeks of school had passed, we began to think of projects which would help us to obtain money for the most important event in all our four years in high school; the class trip. One of the ways we decided upon was to have paper drives. So far w ' e have had two which were very successful and we are hoping to have another one soon. As the holiday season rolled around we soon learned that it was up to us as Juniors to put on the school Christmas party. Among other things we decided to put on a Christmas play called, A Room for the Prince”. We had a very special guest at this party — Santa Claus! Everyone had a wonderful time and the whole party turned out to be the most successful event of the year. Both boys and girls went out for basketball in our class. We were especially proud of the boys, because this was one of the most success- ful basketball seasons in the history of Bourne High School. We, the Junior class were very proud to have some of our members taking part in the Bay State Tournament. Our class also has many other interests besides athletics, we have students who are in- terested in art, music, athletic association, Key Club and Yearbook. We are also very proud to have several of our class members in the National Honor Society. They are: Robert Cushing, Carol Dain- ty, Phil Doucette, Faith Luttman-Johnson, Sandra Neal, and Mary MacLeod. The social climax” of the season has cap- tured our minds and imaginations. We plan to make our prom themed to MOONLIGHT, MUSIC, AND MAGNOLIAS”, a memorable triumph to a wonderful year. We, as Juniors can look back on this year in school as one of our happiest years. We have accomplished a great deal. However, we look forward to next year when we will be Seniors. We hope to do even greater things in our final year at Bourne High. 34 f u c St: O . oT £■ a ■ S E r 3 uQ a- . ai s Q c 2 -1 u z D t: V 5 C ) i-J u o oi 5 ? o -g I d z £ hJ bC C ' ■ u 3 :3 S u cQ 3 Q ■§ . r .

O ts a K. 1 35 cfthctncte I AM Harvey Holmes, an invisible little detective. What a harrowing but lively experience I ' ve had this year trailing that Sophomore class of Bourne High. It all started on September 7, the day 1 got my assignment. All was quiet until some great orange buses pulled up in front of the school; out poured the biggest bunch of noise” I have ever heard com- ing mostly from a group called Sophomores. These Sophomores found their homerooms equipped with advisors, Mrs. Kiniry and a new teacher. Miss Quintal. The first Sophomore impulse was to razz and further bewilder the babes of Bourne High” ( sometimes referred to as frosh ) . After these Sophomores had assumed their reign as upper of the lowerclassmen” they found serious business confronting them. The political campaign started and as a result the class officers we elected were: Robert Merchant, president; Robert Gaboon, vice president; Marcia Sorenti, secre- tary; and Crystal Campbell, treasurer. The political campaigning continued — Robert Merchant and Ron- ald Bassett found themselves as the mouthpiece” of the class, representing them in the Student Council. Soon the school became draped in orange and black. Working committees were feverishly running hither and yon, preparing for some great event. Hot on the trail of the decorations came the refreshment and clean-up committees. 1 inferred that Hallow ' een was coming and thanks to the Sophomore class, the Halloween party was a festival occasion of where everyone had a most enjoyable time. 1 enjoyed my- self immensely, but of course, 1 had to substitute coke and cookies for my usual tea and crumpets. One afternoon as 1 was investigating the surround- ing territory, 1 happened upon a group of chaps buried in heaps of mud, grimy uniforms, battered helmets, and other miscellaneous debris. After some excavation, I uncovered Robert Gaboon, John Kay- ajan, Barry Girard, Bill Taylor, Charlie Cardoza, and Paul Cardoza. 1 really had to go to keep up with the Sophomores, greatly influenced by the peppiest cheerleader, Marcia Sorenti, a sophomore. Having yelled myself hoarse, the crowd carried me along to a little building where 1 got a great sales talk from Mary Bernabei, Joan Ojala, Crystal Campbell, Sally Sandquist, and Charlotte George, all doing their duty as A. A. workers. And since I was terribly curious about the snapping shutter belonging to Bob Mer- chant, the official photographer of Bourne High, I trotted after him on many important occasions. One afternoon, having rested from that hectic football season, I was perambulating through the cor- ridors and stopped to find the cause of the great din” coming from the auditorium. Upon entering, I found basketball practice in session. Looking at the Bulletin Board, 1 found that Barry Girard, John Kayajan, Peter Mackesy, and Dick Polombo were fighting for the victories of the second team, while Bob Gaboon and Charlie Cardoza shone brightly for varsity team. 1 was relieved to discover that the person carrying the suspicious looking black bag was really the team manager. Jack Wright. Though not surrounded by such glory, but working just as hard, was the Girls’ Basketball squad. My re- port shows that Marcia Sorenti and Charlotte George made the first team, and Mary Ann Bernabei, Sandra Long, Alice Rigazio, Janice Lewis, Dorothy Mahoney, and Judy Barlow, the J-V squad. Spring was fast approaching and as deadlines drew near, several of the students worked busily writing for the Yearbook. Some scouting around revealed them to be Marcia Sorenti, Crystal Camp- bell, Joan Ojala, and Mary Ann Bernabei. Spring also brought baseball ( a game similar to cricket ) with many of the Sophomore boys going out to practice every day. The girls likewise, rugged in- dividuals, formed a softball team. All cf this seems to make the Sophomores look like very busy people, but they can really make the pages fly, too, for next year they will join the gay gtcup upstairs. I do believe that it will take a long time for me to recover from this assignment, though it was all jolly good fun. I’ll have to be getting along now, so I’ll say. Cheerio!” — to which I receive a prompt Sophomore chorus of, See ya later, alligator.” 36 fillin ' u Uj , 5 , u o o U U ■s d 0. ! 5 i-J u m O S o n: a O t; O Cu . 3 U c 73 hJ . .

Too often there’s trouble when the little freshman tries to keep his supreme author- ity, rather than yielding to the three upper classes”. However, the Frosh of ’55-’56 seemed to grasp their big change”. After those uncertain should 1 wear a tie or not” days, everything fell comfortably into routine under the patient guidance of Mr. Gray and Mr. Margarones, our advisors. It felt wonderful to know we had someone to rely on in this new, adventuresome place. And boy, the whims and plans that can flood the minds of Frosh! Everything seems to hinge on being able to answer the following whiz” questions: What are we up against? What do we do? How can we do every- thing that is expected all at once at the same time? . . . so we were enrolled. We tussled with the usual problems in the first few weeks. We learned ever so much! For example, lockers and their combinations do not always agree. And the most minor offenses purchase a detention. One set of stairs goes up, the other down! And lunch bells are in rotation — oh, the days when we go last! We discovered so many silver linings to all the dark clouds. We found extremes, good and bad, and we found the pleasure that cooperation and good sportsmanship can offer. We really found out exactly what homework is — and how much effon goes into a good mark. We had to work very hard, but every honor roll boasted a good number of Freshman names. Ah — but let us not get the idea that all Freshmen are bookworms. Unh-uh! Why, when Coach Com- ings sounded his annual call to arms, a great hoard of would be athletes climbed into suits and padding, expanding their weights and heads to twice the normal size! We did not get onto the field very often, but we sure learned to block that kick” and run that td” and all about everything the fans were yelling for. And we cheered the loudest when our team won, and cried the hardest when they lost! Back in the home room many of us latched on to an extra-curricular activity. We sent two representa- tives to the local legislature, namely the Student Council. At home we chose Tommy Gallerani and Ann Pippin, both from the other side” of Sagamore, as President and ' Vice President. Neal Minihan be- came treasurer, and Jerry Huntley is the orator of class minutes! Then basketball interrupted everything, and many Frosh boys ran out and saw a lot of aaion. This was followed by most of us running to the library, buckling down for our first experience with mid- year examinations. Did we ever burn the midnight oil, but true to form, we pulled through in grand style. Not too long after Mother Nature awarded us with a nice week’s vacation plus plenty of beau- tiful white snow! And then, all at once, we realized that half a year had gone. We were novices no longer, but full- fledged high school students. We began the last half of a wonderful year. It seemed nice, but sad too, for never again can we live through this zippa-dee- doo-dah” year. Despite all the downs” we have had a bushel of ups” — and what fun we have had! We are proud to be students of Bourne High School, and proud of the standard we have set in our new Alma Mater. We are doing our share in helping to build a better future — and we believe we are part of the best school around. Don’t you worry! You will be seeing a lot more of us. Next year (Yippee) we’ll be those tyrannical Sophomores — and it is going to be the Biggest and Bestest class ever to be in Bourne High. Before we say goodbye to our Freshman year, we want to say Thanks to all the teachers and student body for being so wonderful to us this year. And if any of you lowly eighth graders happen to be tuned in, remember — we are waiting for you — with every initiation that is in the books. Maybe a few more besides! 38 1 5 1 5 i-J u Z DC 1 5 U os: uu pc! .2 ® I -U - o H ' -ci r3 Pi . c 7 rr: c cQ 2 • . S .W 0 ini y.

Bourne saw the Purple Wave roll onto the field with a mighty splash, their official practice was led by the incomparable coaches Fred Coming and Andy Laugh- ton. Behind them came the two captains, John Hickey and Victor Kim, leading the fourteen letter men, and followed by the new ' comers. September 24, the pigskin season was officially opened with Bourne defeating Provincetown 12-0. The Purple and White continually ripped huge holes through its opponents weak defensive right, allowing the Bourne backs to gain yardage. Speedy John Gallo plowed over from the four yard line in the opening minutes of the second quarter to score the initial touchdown. Scrappy Ben Quimby slammed his way for the second touchdown. The following Saturday met the avarious team from Weston. Bourne took command of the ball in the first half with Gallo, Hickey and Wordell slicing through the Maroon wall for repeated gains. In the middle of the second half John Hickey led his desperate assault only to be checked. In the next play Hickey carried the ball for the one and only touchdown of the day. Only a fifteen yard penalty and the wet weather prevented Bourne from tally- ing a higher score. It was a tie 6-6. Bourne’s third game was with Falmouth. We re- ceived the kickoff with Gallo carrying the ball to the forty-five, only to have it fumbled in the next play. The score at the half was 13-7 with Falmouth leading. Bourne began to run wild in the last quarter, but was halted by that infamous whistle. The final score was the same as at the half, 13-7, a defeat for Bourne. The Canalmen met Dartmouth on Oct. 13. The first half went very poorly for Bourne, except when John Hickey tallied late in the first period, giving Bourne a 6-0 lead. But the Green struck back, surg- ing ahead by one point. Late in the third quarter John Gallo zigzagged his way for Bourne’s second touchdown. Bourne was still trailing 19-18 when Pete Cardoza saved the day by picking up a free ball ignored by the G reen on the kick-off. The final score was Dartmouth 19, Bourne 24. The following week the Canalmen met the Green Dolphins of Yarmouth. In the first quarter the Purple Wave splashed its way to the Yarmouth 4. Then two plays later Ben Quimby charged over from the weak side and quarterback MacNamara made the point, giving Bourne a seven point edge. Then in the third quarter John Gallo galloped 30 yards for a touchdown. The final score was Bourne 13, Yar- mouth 6. Seated 1. to r. : R. McNamara, B. Delsie, D. Fougere, J. Jenkins, J. Hickey, V.

On October 29 the Canal gridders met the Fisher- men at Provincetown. Bourne made her first score in the first period when Gallo caught a pass from MacNamara for a 25 yard touchdown. A while later MacNamara caught a pass from Gallo for the second touchdown. In the third quarter MacNamara passed to Gallo for the third tally. This combination con- nected again in the beginning of the last quarter for the fourth and final touchdown. MacNamara success- fully kicked three extra points. The final score was Bourne 27, Provincetowm 13. On November 12 the Canal gridders came face to face with undefeated Marshfield. Hickey galloped 70 yards for the first tally. Wordell scampered 35 yards to hit pay dirt for a 12-0 lead. In the second period, John Gallo pounded his way for the third touchdown and an extra point by MacNamara brought the score 19 0. MacNamara scored, giving final score Bourne 26, Marshfield 7. Of course the climax came on November 24, our traditional Turkey Day game with Wareham. The Purple Wave shocked the Blue Club on the opening kick-off when it recovered a fumble and bored its way to the Wareham 1. Later in the first period Bourne again slammed to the 6-inch mark but was again checked by the Blue. In the second quarter Wareham pushed its way back for their one and only touchdown. Bourne bounced back in the fourth quarter with a 32-yard punt by John Hickey. A penalty brought the ball close to the Wareham goal- line. Then quarterback Bob MacNamara intercepted a jump pass and blasted his way to the Wareham one-yard line. This time Bourne was determined to hit pay dirt! With a mighty lunge the linemen locked shoulder pads and fought their way forward. Quarterback MacNamara then punched over for the tying run. The final score was 6-6. ' ■ nsM m icts.

The additional members completing the magical combination for success were Gail Barlow, Marcia Sorenti, and Gail Mallinson.

Under the watchful eye” of Mrs. Sullivan, the cheerers” unselfishly and painstakingly poured out energy and time perfecting new cheers, rhythmic movements, and drill steps. This practice began to pay off as the football team rolled up success after success on the gridiron. This proved to be but a mere preview of the future as the basketball team was cheered into the tournament where it walked away” with the Bay State Championship. d asLetLaii T hirty boys reported to Coach Andrew Laugh- ton for the 1956 basketball season. Most of the candidates were found to be lower classmen. Returning from the memorable ’55 season w ' ere veterans John Gallo, John Hickey, Jim Jenkins, Ed- w’ard Wordell, Chuck Cahoon, and Paul Robbins. Also reporting were former Jay-Vee standouts Bob Cahoon, John Alden, Pete and Charley Cardoza. After watching a few practice sessions, it was inter- esting to note that all thirty boys wdshed to make the varsity but unfortunately only twelve boys were chosen. Our first win occurred when the varsity drubbed little Sandwich High School, with Chuck Cahoon scoring 21 points to lead his teammates; following closely w ' ere John Hickey and Bob MacNamara, who split second place scoring honors with 16 points each. But the hard fighting Bourne team suffered dual defeats to a much larger opponent, Wareham High School. A heart-breaking was lost to a scrappy Barnstable quintet in overtime, 57-54. Bourne also suffered a very dose decision to Barnstable earlier in the campaign. Unfortunately, Bourne lost the serv- ices of Bob MacNamara, John Hickey, Ed Wordell, and Sophomore standout, Dick Polumbo, due to dis- ciplinar} ' reasons. All w ' as not lost though, as Bourne retaliated by dropping a small tough, Famouth five in overtime, 59-54, with Co Captains Chuck Cahoon and John Gallo leading the victory with 19 and 16 points respectively. Once more as in 1955, Bourne entered her team in the annual Bay State Basketball Tournament. Our first game was played at Chatham. Before a small crowd of supporters. Bourne, sparked by Co-Captain Jtjhnny Gallo’s 18 points and Co-Captain Chuck Cahoon’s 17 markers, dropped Harwich High by a substantial score, 57-46. Our next game was in New Bedford where, before a larger crowd of loyal rooters. Bcurne swamped Wrentham High School, 64-35. Co-Captain Chuck Cahoon scored 18 points, Co- Captain John Gallo and Bob Cahoon took second place scoring honors with 10 markers apiece. Bourne High School was proud of her team, for we had now reached the semi-finals. Bourne was notched against Northboro High who, were defending Class D cham- pions and at this time were riding on a streak of 30 straight wins! The game was played at Brandies University and a huge throng of supporters were there to cheer our boys to victory. This was one of the finest ball games of the year. When the final whistle blew, the score was 48-46, and the well- played game was a heart-warming victory for the Bourne boys. Once again Co-Captain John Gallo and Chuck Cahoon took scoring honors, they com- bined for 29 points. ham High School. Our opponent was Westford Academy having a fine record of 20 wins and 3 losses. A ver) ' large crowd of rooters and towns- people were on hand to see Bourne High School take the first such championship in the history of the school. The final score was 52-46. Bourne had come a long way this year, working hard, and this was our reward. The entire starting five were outstanding. Co-Captain Chuck Cahoon was high scorer with a total of 17 points. Paul Robbins, who did a com- mendable job, was second with 15 markers. Co- Captain John Gallo had a big second period of 7 straight points. His final total was 9. Bruce Delsie and Bob Cahoon were outstanding off the boards. Victor) ' was ours! Co-Captains John Gallo and Chuck Cahoon were later named to the Class D all-star team. We had now reached the finals and Coach Laugh- ton and his boys w ' cre showing the pride they so well deserved. After a number of postponements, the championship game was finally played at Need- Twenty candidates were out for Junior Varsity Basketball this year. Out of the twenty boys twelve were picked for the team. This years Junior Varsity played a twelve game schedule. |j|M began bouncing balls and shooting baskets late in November this year, with Mrs. Sullivan coaching us. The first practice found forty girls split into two squads. The first consisted of all girls who were out for basketball for the first time. The second squad boasted anyone who had had previous experi- ence. Final postings found the following girls listed for this year’s varsity: Seniors: Yvonne Mitchell, Judy Koskela, Althea DeLano, Jane Drew, Karen Gibbs and Cynthia Courtney. Junior soloist was Alberta George. Sophomores included Charlotte George and Marcia Sorenti. With the Sandwich home game on December 13, we launced our official season. Our Varsity line-up called for fifteen games. We fought hard and tirelessly, but we had a sour season, winning only three games. Our second team won five of the eleven games played.
