W ASN’T it just yesterday that all of us were shy, scared Freshmen — it seems so! 1 can remember that so very well. 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
