Bourne High School - Canal Currents Yearbook (Bourne, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 108 of the 1957 volume:

, I O, orewor Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, hut like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny. ' pHE spring tides of June will set adrift the class of fifty-seven on an uncharted sea. Some will prefer to remain in the security of shallow waters. Some will venture to faraway ports where the sparkling lights of dreams forever cast their luring spell. And there are a few who have a yearning for adventure and mystery in the new atomic age. These don their space helmets, strap on a tank of oxygen, and pack their pockets with transitors. Then taking their bearing by the new man-made satelite, they rocket off to adventure. Ike m 7 Editor-in-chief Faith Luttman-Johnson Adviser Mr. John Margarones Published by STUDENTS OF BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL 4 He is a burning and a shining light With Pride, Honor, and in the spirit of Friendship, we dedicate this 1957 yearbook to Mr. John J. Margarones, a teacher devoted to his profession, and one who has given unselfish service to Bourne High School.

While rewarding, they are exacting, they are harsh, and sometimes they are even cruel. Personal integrity is valued far more than great personal achievement. It cannot be bought, and yet it is something which each individual may pos- sess and prize, above all else. The value of a person’s contribution is often determined by one’s ability to get along with fellow workers. The future of our civilization depends upon our willingness to know our neighbors, in trying to understand them, and then in making every reasonable effort to get along with them. All areas of achievement or types of professions are important to some- one! All of us feel that we have certain skills that we can use more effectivelv than others. The influence of the Humanities will always be great. However, this is a Science and Mathematics world! If you have ability in these areas, take courses that will give you an adequate background. Able, well-trained people in these fields will play an important part in our future well being. The strength of our future civilization depends upon well prepared and understanding teachers. Without good teachers and enough teachers, the very foundations of our Democracy will crumble.

Lincoln once said that he would study to prepare him- self and perhaps his chance would come. A climate of opinion which decries mediocrity and strives for perfection kindles intellectual curiosity which in turn provides mankind with the best in academic achievement. At no time in mankind’s history has op- portunity knocked louder. The sciences and mathematics are in great demand. It may be that these studies will alleviate the world’s major ills, improve the conditions of living, prevent future calamities and indeed determine whether or not mankind itself survives. But to minimize or exclude the humanities from one’s intellectual development would but pro- duce a hulk without a soul, a world without the aesthetics of faith, charity and hope — a valley of vacuums. 13 It is therefore so essentially obvious that the end product of education be well rounded — that no facet of a modern education be neg- lected. By following the best precepts of past teaching we are but making it possible for mankind to successfully endure. Often minimized and sometimes overlooked ate four essential services in our school. These are: 1 . Cafeteria 2. Guidance 3. Custodians 4. Health Our cafeteria feeds about 300 students in about two hours. One can see at once the problems of menu variety and quantity prep- aration. Visitors who eat with us are generous in their praise of both quality and quantity. Guidance serves both the student and ad- ministration in problems of placement, after high school selection of schools and colleges, administration of the testing program, alumni surveys, registration for courses, scholarship opportunities and counseling. It is a most im- portant adjunct of a modern school and is being done exceptionally well. Parents’ nights, both of the high school students and eighth graders, Visitation Day for incoming freshmen are the developments of this department. We are fortunate in being blessed with two fine custodians. Both the interior and the ex- terior of the building are well kept. It is amaz- ing how often visitors compliment the work of these men. Never has there been a time when either or both men have been called upon for various and extra activities but they have cheerfully and efficiently performed be- yond the call of duty. Such men are rare and we deeply appreciate their efforts. Our students’ health is most important to us because the better the health, the bett er the at- tendance and school performance. Examina- tions of the eyes, ears, and teeth are given and parents notified of the results. Everyone is given physical examinations and no student ( boy or girl ) may participate in sports until the physical examination has been completed. Better than 95 % of our students have had polio vaccine, in fact, percentage-wise, we stand first on the Cape in this regard. These things do not just happen. A great deal of planning and record keeping are required. To our nurses, doctors, dentist and Board of Health we grate- fully say Thank you for a job well done.” 1 am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well. We, the students of Bourne High School, recognizing the prodigious task which faces our teachers in educating us against what seems, at times insurmountable odds, pause to recognize an insatiable come-what-may at- tachment and perservance to duty. In its dedication our faculty is a credit to the teaching profession and we would like to pay silent tribute to those whom we owe so much. We, therefore, salute: Miss Bailey for her pleasant and friendly smile, her consideration of others, and intro- ducing us to the study of English. Mr. Butler for his friendly understanding and morale-building, his ability to see both sides of any situation, and for making us good, safe drivers. Mr. Cluff for his patience, tolerance, good sportsmanship, and his expert instruction in woodworking and mechanical drawing. Mr. Comings for his contagious enthusiasm and spirit, his encouragement and his train- ing us in sportsmanship and athletics. Mr. Fitzgerald for his wit, humor, pleasant conversation, and his giving us a solid foundation in math and science. Miss Gedges for her friendly sense of humor, her listening to our problems, and help- ful guidance in business training and office practice. Mr. Gray for his cheerful greeting and smile, making us feel worthy, for imparting language techniques to us, and acting as eyes to those blind to the future Miss Holden for her sense of humor, fairness, strict class control, and enjoyable con- veyance of science and biology to us. Mrs. Kiniry for her understanding, extra help and advice, and for rounding out our English program. Mr. Laughton for his sympathetic understanding and good-naturedness, piloting of a championship basketball team, and skillful teaching of shorthand, typing and bookkeeping. Mr. Margarones for our freshman adjustments, his creative ideas in extra-curricula activities, imparting to us the knowledge of the various histories, and making us better citizens and people. Mrs. Rose for sharing with us her many travel experiences, assisting in department of social studies, and imparting to us a knowledge of French. Mr. Stahura for his helpful advice to our problems, showing us how we can work and still have fun, his gifted knowledge and speech, and conducting numerous assembly programs. Mrs Sullivan for her morale lifting talks, her sparking of spirit, and helping our physical development. Mr. Thorne for helping us with orchestra and band, training our voices in chorus and for being our friend. Miss Tuck for her friendly companionship, listening to our problems, spreading cheer, and showing us proper methods of homemaking. Mrs. Walker for her art enthusiasm guiding us to art appreciation, and training us in the use of colors. 14 Have a purpose in life, and having it, throw into your work such strength of mind and muscle as God has given you. y FOBERT H.

We remember that first year as green freshmen, copying Latin assignments, struggling through algebra problems, and getting acquainted with Bourne High. Our first big assignment came with class elections. We came through with royal colors, choosing Leonard Moore, President; Robert Cushing, Veep; Lois Philbrick, Secretary; Sandra Neal, Treasurer. Of course we had members of our class on all the athletic teams (even if most of them did warm the bench). Our two letter winners were Ed” Wordell, football and Pete” Cardoza, baseball. Progressing rapidly ( ? ) , we entered our Sophomore year full of spirit and high hopes. We set to work immediately electing a new slate of officers. They were Robert Cushing, president; Charles Kimball, vice-president; Lois Philbrick, secretary; and Sandra Neal, treasurer. With our new officers to lead us we soon put on our first feature attraction the Halloween Party (best Bourne High ever had)! This was the year our athletes started to shine for the purple and white squads. Bob Cushing, Pete” Cardoza and Ed” Wordell roamed the gridiron. Ed” along with Barry” Harrington kept the Sophomore spark alive during bas- ketball season and Bob Cushing and Pete” Car doza starred on the diamond. Our underclass serfdom ended when we finally climbed the stairs to our Junior roost. At last we were upperclassmen. We started the year in grand style by electing our class officers Bob Cushing, president; Phil Doucette, vice-president; Lois Philbrick. 25 secretary; and Sandra Neal, treasurer. This year our football team starred many juniors. Bob Cushing, Ed” Wordeli, Phil Doucette, Bob Pola, and Pete Cardoza all had starting positions. Pete” Cardoza also starred on our basketball team which went on to win the Class D State Championship. Pete and Bob Cushing starred in baseball. Our Junior year also saw several of our classmates admitted into the National Honor Society. Bob Cushing. Phil Doucette, Carol Dainty, Sandra Neal, Mary MacLeod, and Faith Luttman-Johnson were the lucky ones. The big spectacular of the year was our Junior Prom. The big southern plantation with its many gardens and magnolia trees conveyed the theme of Moonlight, Music, and Magnolias. Sandra Neal, our class treasurer, was chosen as Prom queen. As September rolled around again, we were excited at finally becoming Seniors. We en- tered our huge” home rooms with pride and crossed fingers and were greeted with a big smile from Mr. Butler, our class advisor. The first thing we did was elect new officers. Peter Cardoza was elected president; Robert Nealon, vice president; and the old faithfuls Lois, secre- tary, and Sandra, treasurer. The football season started with the seniors really shining. Bob Cushing and Pete Cardoza were elected co-captains. Philip Doucette, Robert Pola, Robert Nealon, Kevin Fielding and John Alden helped to carry the team through a good season. Basketball followed with two seniors on the court, Pete Cardoza and John Alden. The boys on our baseball team included Pete Cardoza, Bob Cushing, Chris Gaffney, Roy Weston and John Alden. Tw ' o members of our class were honored during our Senior Year. They w ' ere Robert Cushing, who was elected Bourne High ' s rep- resentative to Student Government Day, and Faith Luttman-Johnson, who was chosen as our school ' s good citizen representative to the an- nual convention of the Daughters of the Amer- ican Revolution. Of course we all worked hard on food sales and other things so that we could go to Wash- ington. On April 11, we left Buzzards Bay for a week full of memories. On May 3, after a postponement and many, many weeks of rehearsal, we staged the Senior Class Play, Curtain Going Up. With the play over and graduation nearing, there was excitement and expectation every- where in the Senior Class. Class parts were: R. Cushing, Valedictory; S. Neal, Salutatory; M.

But memories which we will never forget. ill « M l Bn ' 1 if i « ■ | 26 junior j rom Moonlight, Music, and Magnolias’ Queen, Sandra Neal and Escort, Thomas Long I N January of 1956, every possible name for a prom was put to a vote. Finally, after much ado. Moonlight, Alusic, and Alagnolias, became tri- umphant. Th e question now, was where do we get magnolias! You guessed it! From January to May, we just made magnolia blossoms. In May we started to turn that empty and hollow auditorium into a magnificent garden. In came bare trees and bushes. Worthless rugs, and old boards More crepe paper than we could carry, and barrel after barrel of dirt. The Freshmen looked on as if we were crazy, but we were determined to make it the best prom ever given at Bourne High School. Thanks to the immeasurable efforts of Miss Holden, Mr. Stahura, Mr. Laughton, and the janitors, we were able to succeed. Every evening for two weeks we assembled, and like busy bees, worked and worked, until we finally created a magnitudinous magnolia garden. On the once bare and unattractive stage, now stood an awe- some tree, laden with pink magnolia blossoms. From the tree was suspended a red velvet swing. Below was a rolling lawn, and bright flower gardens with colorful lights playing upon the whole scene. Op- posite the stage, on the other side of the auditorium, stood the porch of a southern mansion. The pillars were entwined with flowing ivy, and fragrant flowers. In front of the porch was a moon-shaped garden, fraught wuth flowers of every color in the rainbow. From the ceiling flowed entwining ribbons of as- sorted blue hues. And around this magnificent garden was a stone wall, paralleling a dozen pink and white magnolia trees. Crowning this panorama was a wishing well w ' hich stood in the center of the garden, with ivy growing from its wooden roof. At eight o’cock on May the eighteenth, 1956, this colossal garden came to life, with the mellow music of Con Coppi’s orchestra. The dance floor was graced with ladies in ex- quisite gowns, and gentlemen resplendent in tux and tie.” After an evening of dance, talk, and laughter, came the climax, the crowning of the queen. Sandra Neal, escorted by Thomas Long, took the honors. She was then photographed on the velvet swing. So after everyone had enjoyed the Moonlight, the Music, and the Magnolias, like all wonderful evenings, it faded away into morning, but left be- hind wonderful memories of an unforgetable Junior Prom. O N April 11, 28 exuberant Bourne High Seniors, clad in the finest of Easter accoutrements, began the 1957 class trip. At 7:00 a.m. the bus, fraught with baggage, screaming seniors, and two (beginning-to-worry) chaperones, pulled out of Buzzards Bay. All of the seniors were equipped with cameras, new luggage, and more money than they had ever seen in one pile before. The chaperones, Reverend and Mrs. Littlewood, began at once making friends and discussing the things we were to see. When we reached Providence, R. I., we all boarded a train that was to send us straight into New York. A few of us enjoyed a second breakfast on the train. Three hours later we arrived at Grand Central Station, and all those who brought more than one suitcase began to regret it. With (200) of the (450) miles behind us, we climbed aboard a Rolo Bus outside the station. Nor- man was the bus driver and Mr. Smiley” Kelley was the Green Tour representative. In a few minutes we were underway crossing 5th Ave., 42nd St., and through the Lincoln Tunnel. On the other side of the Hudson River, we had a magnificent view of the New York skyline. A few minutes elapsed and we were on the New Jersey Turnpike, and the beginning of the long road to Washington. Finally, eleven and one half hours after we left Buzzards Bay, we arrived in Washington, D. C., at the Congressional Hotel. Here (28) exhausted sen- iors and ( 2 ) chaperones crawded out of the bus, to see the city they had heard so much about. For the following four days we toured through and around Washington, seeing such things as the Arlington Cemetery with the impressive changing of the guard, also historic Mount Vernon, and the Jefferson Memorial. We went to the Archives Build- ing, the Supreme Court, the Smithsonian Museum, plus a tour through the Capital. One evening we went to the Washington and Fincoln Memorials. In the afternoon we went out to Annapolis and saw John Paul Jones Crypt”. The Franciscan Monastery, the Bureau of Print- ing and Engraving, and the Congressional Fibrary were all nice, but we felt more at home at the Na- tional Zoological Park. On Monday morning, we said good-bye to all our friends and especially the Indiana group, and moved on toward Virginia where we saw the unfor- gettable Endless Caverns. On the following day we pushed on toward York, Penn, where we stayed at the Yorktowne Hotel. Here we saw the famous Get- tysburg battle grounds. On Wednesday morning we proceeded to New York and the Piccidilly Hotel. While here we saw Radio City Music Hall as well as the Xaviar Cugat Show and the Masquerade Party. On Thursday morning a tired bunch of seniors, stuffed towels and ash trays into their suitcases, and left from Grand Central Station to Providence. At the Providence Station we were met by the school bus and arrived in Buzzards Bay, tired but happy. s S3 0 k ■ex £ 3 2 C o o CQ SC c a c J£ £ J Ip ' S i_, sc qj ■ f— f— QJ c •£ -5 « i 3 •: « — -C ? ? 2 a ae q o ' -— C o S-O ° E’= “ u « « aoj: ,g S .E“e -a . 2 js 3 T3 C U ? a w a - G o a o qj c o QJ E o Vi a £ a a 3 a G SCO c.s QJ £ .2 3 ‘ - a c fcC ' 3) c c JZ ?

We were so proud of our new ' rank! The Juniors ranging all the way from small Dick Demers to tall Pete Mackesy finally man- aged to settle down long enough to have a class meeting. With the help of our advisors, Miss Holden and Mr. Laughton, we elected Ronald Bassett, Pounder-of-the-Gavel; Bob Cahoon, his understudy; Marcia Sorenti, Keep- er of the Minutes; and Crystal Campbell, Guardian-of-our- Funds”. We all had many ambitions and plans for our Junior year, so w ' e started in on them right away. Scrap metal and paper drives were held in hopes of increas- ing our treasury. We had been so pleased with the success of our Alan Dary Record Hop” last June that we immediately started plans for a Harvest Hop” with Norm Prescott. No- vember 10 was the chosen date and although a last minute change brought us a different disc-jockey, the dance was quite a success, especially since our football triumph on that afternoon made it a Victory Hop”. Juniors who went out for football in hopes of helping in that and other football victories were Bob Cahoon, Dick Palombo, Barry Girard, Maurice Harding, Paul and Charlie Cardoza, Bob Merchant and Jack Wright. Soon, plans were brewing for the Junior Christmas Party. This turned out to be a fes- tive affair with entertainment by the Special Chorus, a visit from Santa and his helper, and lots of food. J k TW ■ 1 33 Basketball season soon rolled around and our basketball stars included Bob Cahoon, Barry Girard, Dick Palombo, Charlie Cardoza, Paul Cardoza, Harry Curry and Pete Mackesey. On the Girls’ Squad were Patsy Mederos, Alice Iligazio, Charlotte George, Dreena Fernandes and Frances Pina and Joyce Dill, with Joan Ojala and Crystal Campbell serving as Man- ager and team scorer, respectively Manning the ticket booth and the Coke stand were Junior A. A. members Mary Ann Bernabei, Crystal Campbell, Jean Ojala, and Charlotte George while Sandra Long and Mary Ann Bernabei vociferously represented us on the Cheering squad. And certainly the Juniors w ill never forget those zany pep rallies we put on! Once more, however, we were faced with Mid-Year Exams. Not to take a back seat to anybody we dug in and really burned the mid- night oil. We even had two of our classmates inducted into the National Honor Society. Our class was well represented in quite a few other activities, too. Judy Duggan, Marcia Sorenti, Mary Ann Bernabei, Joan Ojala, and Crystal Campbell served as librarians while Winifred Jones was an office girl. The year- book staff included Marcia Sorenti, Robert Merchant, Ronald Bassett, Joan Ojala, Crystal Campbell and Robert Cahoon. As this goes to press the Juniors are busily engaged in preparing for Mexicana” the Jun- ior Prom, the big event of the year for us. We are confident that it will be the best Prom yet! Every Junior is looking forward to next year as a Senior with excited anticipation, but also with a little regret that our wonderful Junior year has passed so quickly. «5 PS .2 in S3 2 — N . «J ■- X « C P -X s j.� i|.s- -c jj ps g Q a. • c3 ._ u w c s’ « oj l� ► « -r r oj n ,-- - § J s z sy 1 3 . «o .°- „ Oj d •-T— 5 • N i!13rrU o £ -Q n ' w n C p -ult 1 C T ' l—i.

Labor Day had recently passed by. Yes, everything portended that for- midable six letter word, school. Yet, though tactful enough not to let anyone know we, who were now Sophomores, were all kind of glad to be back once again among our friends and homework and teach- ers and homework and sports and homework and all those extra-curricula activities and, oh yes, home- work. At the first class meeting of the year we elected Neil Minihan as our class president, Thomas Gal- lerani, vice president, Brenda Clouette, secretary, and Stephen Lawless, treasurer. These, together with our class advisers, Mrs. Kiniry, Miss Bailey, and Mrs. Rose, served as our guiding lights” throughout the year. Almost as soon as school began there was no evidence needed to assert that it was football time. Answering the call for practice from Coach Comings and assistant Coach Laughton were many Sopho- mores. Such greats as Ed Savage, Art Watt, John Duggan, Harold Norton, Wayne Upton, Ron Hard- ing, and Phil Curry aided in blockin’ that kick, makin’ that tackle, gettin’ that yard, scorin’ that point, and all the other vital feats which make for a great team. o mo red Then of course there were Manager Norm Bayes of the Sophomore brood, the cheerleaders, who, it is safe to say, were 95% Sophomore, deftly repre- sented by Jean Tucker, Betsy Ryder, Sally Cook, Betty Neal, and Kathy McComiskey. There were Ann Pippin, Neil Minihan, and George Tomlinson of the Athletic Association — pure 100% Sophomore blood, and the majorettes, Helen Lampken and Judy Tripp and the members of the band and orchestra and key club, and, oh, so many other things. Meanwhile as all this was going on. the class was preparing for the annual Halloween Hop, which was one of the most lavishly decorated spectacles of many a year. Many were the committees that worked together with our advisers and officers in making this an exciting adventure for all. The event was characterized by square dancing, rock and roll, ball- room dancing, and countless others. A special door prize was offered, plenty of delicious refreshments, and a mile of crepe paper decorating the hall. The event proved to be a truly wonderful one, packed with fun for all who attended. But we didn’t stop there! Football season was still in full swing and the production team of Lawless-Minihan-Gallerani teamed up to present for the class, one of the highlight pep-rallies of the year. And no sooner had we risen from the Thanks- giving table than we heard the sound of a ball. No ii was not being punched, kicked, batted, stepped on, or any other treatment that they are subjected to. This was a graceful sound. A whishing” sound to put it in words which do a truly terrible job of describing it; yet, there was no mistaking the fact that it was a graceful sound, and it would take graceful men to play that game for which Coach Laughton was now sending forth this quiet but forceful statement that it was, at last, basketball season. To mention some of the Cousy’s” from the Sophomore lot who exhibited their amazing dexter- ity on the familiar court were John Duggan, Bruce Ferrari, Robert Boffetti, Rodney Valentini, Phil Curry, Wayne Upton, Plarry Norton, Ed Savage. Ronald Harding, Chic” Weston, Arvin Arthur, and Arthur Watt. We all marveled at the skill of these boys and expect great things from them in the future. Needless to say, basketball also had a marked feminine appeal, especially to the Sophomore girls. As we recall seeing them, there were Evelyn Mendes, Virginia Peebles, Janice Abercrombie, Pat Hill, Jan- ice Willey, and Marcia Wright. And of course there were our student council members, Neil Minihan and Ann Pippin, who kept us competantly represented in the legislative body of our school throughout the year. Then of course as baseball wheeled its way around, such greats as Phil Curry, Arthur Watt, Rodney Valentini, Ronald Harding, Wayne Upton, Arvin Arthur, Stephen Lawless, Robert Boffetti, and Vincent Reali, were seen making their way around the bases for Ole Mother Sophomore.” When the time rolled around for the posting of the honor roll, this class usually dominated the list, and, we are proud to say, with a very sub- stantial number of honorable-mentions, too. Over the year, it was no uncommon thing to see constant huddles between our president, Neil Minihan, and the class advisers over class plans, or our treasurer, Stephen Lawless, throwing up his arms over the Unbalanced” budget. We could go into many wonderful experiences and adventures which we met this year, unfortu- nately, Non spatium satis habemus.” Now that the year is coming to a close, we can all look back in retrospect and truly be proud to say that we’ve a great class and that class has had a truly great” year. 38 S-s-fife® - 5 O g E c - v ■ « o g « u • ao £ 3 o Z o U cQ Cl . i£ . -2 u ■ A Kf C . c 3 • - .2 „2 £ .S Si p EK - . a- S - L CQ U •- ’ll® s ' 8 1 s| § £ - V CQ - cu «_r - o -• UiU m G CQ C S ■- rJ . £ OC OaJ c H o r(?U • C « o U .0 2 3 ' e j 5 -C .2 t Z gstjK. - a ? 5 5 - 2 _2 • o 5 .9 c 5 5 ri § S Ngglt sis ® £ — ■ • ' .

We were the usual self-conscious, quiet, and properly awed Frosh, although with a few days of routine behind us we accepted the fact that we would be there for four years, so the best thing to do was to join in and work as well as we could. Soon after the beginning of school we held our first class meeting with our class advisors, Mr. Gray and Mr. Margarones who guided us in Parliamentary proceedure. Class officers were elected in the per- sons of Edward Watt, president; Robert Anderson, ice president; Eugene Sweeney, secretary; and Fran- cis Bernabei, treasurer. Most Freshmen can be seen at any athletic event and are known for their vim and vigor. Our boys who participated in football were Edward Bra- ley, Tommy Patterson, Phil Cunningham, Ed Watt, Ir Kenny Burgess, Paul Girard, Bill Butler, Gene Sweeney, and Bruce Lowcock. Allen Smith was manager of the team. Ed Watt was also a member of the basketball team and proved himself a fine player. The Freshman girls on the basketball team were Rose Rigazio, Cynthia Grist, Carol Gibbons, Frances Bernabei, Theresa Rigazio, and Hazel Harding on the second team. Lorraine Barrows and Eleanor Stahura were the Freshmen representatives on the first team. Special chorus is well supplied with willing Frosh who were glad to get in a little of the lime- light at Christmas, and look forward to the musical aspects of Baccalaureate and Graduation. Claire Dainty, Mary Ann Grew, Eleanor Stahura. and Margo FitzGerald participate in both orchestra and band. In late March we took a trip to Plymouth and were taken on a guided tour to such famous places as the First Fort, Plymouth Rock, and replicas of the earliest homes of the Pilgrims on this continent. Our guide told us the complete history of each, and gave us illustrations of the original Mayflower. We want our teachers to know that we appre- ciate their perseverance and understanding, and re- gret the times when we have perhaps sorely tried their patience. Like many Freshmen classes, most of our year has been spent on adjustment, finding good study habits, and realizing that there is a fine opportunity given to us at Bourne to do our best and still have fun. Our class believes that we will take that op- portunity and is looking forward to three wonderful years at Bourne High. 04 5 U 2 C ardoza, J.

Coach Fred Comings along with his able assistant Andy” Laughton had a tough job of filling the vacant spots left by the 55” graduates. Only returning lettermen were Co-captain Bob Cushing, Co-captain Pete Cardoza, Phil Doucette, and Bob Pola. Open day of school saw 45 candidates turn out to practice and from this turnout emerged a good team and season. Sept. 22 Provincetown 0 vs. Bourne 14 Bourne opened the 1956 season by downing a fighting P-town eleven 14-0. Quarterback Pete Car- doza cracked over the middle from the 3 and 4 yard lines for the scores. Curt Wilson booted both extra points. Time ran out on the Orange and Black as they were deep in Bourne territory at the close of the first half. Ronnie Harding, Charlie Cardoza, Phil Doucette, Phil Curry, Bob Cushing, and Barry Girard were toughest when their backs were on the goal line Wilson, Dick Palombo, and Cardoza also sparkled on defense. Sept. 29 Weston 6 vs. Bourne 6 The small but scrappy Bourne team traveled to Weston to play a much larger squad. Weston scored early in the third period after both teams fought to a scoreless first half. In the fourth quarter Charlie Cardoza picked up a blocked punt and ran 35 yards to pay dirt to tie the score. A try for the extra point was blocked. Roy Weston played an outstanding offensive game. Sparking the Bourne defense were Bob Cushing and Phil Doucette. Oct. 6 Falmouth 13 vs. Bourne 6 Falmouth edged out an upset-minded Bourne eleven in the final period 13-6. Falmouth scored first and led at the half 6-0. Bourne came back strong and Dick Palomba banged over from the 3 yard line after Roy Weston took a hand-off from Curt Wilson and scooted 35 yards. Falmouth scored again in the last quarter and held off a Bourne threat to win 13-6. Oct. 13 Dartmouth 39 vs. Bourne 20 The big green” from Dartmouth came to Bourne and dealt the Purple and White their second straight setback. Doing the scoring for Bourne were Curt Wil- son, Pete Cardoza and Bob Cahoon. Wilson booted the extra points. Bob Nealon did some brilliant run- ning for the Bourne eleven. Bob Pola, Bob Cushing, and Phil Doucette sparked on defense. Oct. 20 Yarmouth 6 vs. Bourne 19 Bourne went to Yarmouth and was determined to bring back a victory and did. Bourne scored first with Pete Cardoza’s carrying the ball over from the 7-yard line. Wilson promptly kicked the extra point to give the Purple and White a 7-0 lead. Bourne scored again after Wilson recovered a Yarmouth fumble on the Yarmouth 1-yard line. Yarmouth tallied in the third quarter to cut the Bourne lead 13-6. As the final stanza opened Pete Cardoza hit Bob Cahoon on the 20 with a pass and after two plays to the 10, Pete Cardoza went into the endzone for his second score of the day. Wilson ' s try for the conversion was wide of the uprights. Oct. 27 Plymouth 7 vs. Bourne 13 Bourne High again hit the road to play a Class ”C” team from Plymouth. Curt Wilson scampered 35 yards on a hand-off from Cardoza on the first play from scrimmage. He followed with an extra point kick. Plymouth scored in the second quarter and the pass for the extra point was good to tie the score 7-7. The last periods saw ' Plymouth on the defense as Pete Cardoza averaged 20 for every time he car- ried the ball. Pete broke the 7-7 tie with a 7-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Nov. 10 Bourne 25 vs. Marshfield 18 Bourne High spearheaded by the dazzling run of Curt Wilson had to come from behind three times to finally overcome a fighting Marshfield eleven 25-18. Using a well executed cutback on end runs Wilson thrilled the small shivering crowd as he broke away for long runs into the enemy secondary with help from his halfbacks Pete Cardoza and Dick Palomba who repeatedly drilled off yardage through the middle. Curt scored two TD’s, a 54-yard spurt and the other a 4-yard plunge. Cardoza scored on a blast over the middle from the six yards out to tie the score 6-6. Pete Cardoza also threw the game win- ning TD pass to Dick Palomba. Nov. 22 Bourne 0 vs. Wareham 26 The Purple of Bourne played its final game of the ”56” season against a very strong Class C” Wareham eleven. Bourne held the Blue and White to a 6 point advantage for the first half. In the third quarter they scored two more TD’s and the extra points. In the early stages of the fourth quarter they scored again and missed the extra point. Playing their last football game for Bourne High were Co-captain Pete Cardoza, Co-captain Bob Cushing, Phil Doucette, Bob Pola, Bob Nealon, John Alden, Kevin Fielding and John Watt. 47 Bob PETE CARDOZA .

Graduation claimed four fifths of last year’s State cham- pionship team, leaving only Bob Cahoon as a returning veteran. However, due to a football injury. Bob was unable to join the team until the midpoint of the season. The first part of the year, therefore, comprised of Wayne Up ton, Dick Palomba, Charlie Weston, and Rod- ney Valentini as the starting five. During the year Barry Girard, Harry Curry, Charlie Car- doza, and Pete Cardoza joined the team to give added assistance. The year began in fine fashion when the purple five walloped Sandwich High 67-33 with Dick Palomba scoring 34 points. After this, however, Bourne ran into trouble losing seven straight games which ended only when Sandwich was defeated again for a second time. At this point, Bob Cahoon joined the team and Bourne began to roll. Our next game was with Barnstable, a team undefeated by Bourne for several years. The final gun sounded with Bourne on top by a 57-43 count. Cahoon scored 16 points in his debut. That Friday we took on mighty” Pro- vincetown High School. There was no doubt about the outcome as Bourne,, leading through- out the game, finally won 58-49- While on this resurgeance the purple wave was dealt a severe blow when it lost high scor- ing Dick Palomba and Wayne Upton. But the team was by no means down and out, and after losing its next two games, it again found the range and won a thriller at Yarmouth by a v 4 v 3 w! a ip a m ' 1 fJjfbW A w w Seated l. to r.: R.

This victory was quickly followed up by a crushing 77 to 54 defeat on a scrappy” Wellfleet team. This victory brought Bourne to the top of the league standing by a slim half-game margin. At this point the purple tide traveled to Barn- stable to play what was perhaps the most ex- citing game of the year. The Red Raiders’ Allen Ellis was burning up the league and the court with his prolific scoring but when the smoke of battle had cleared, a joyous Bourne team had won 70-68 in the Cape’s highest scoring game of the year. Bob Cahoon scored 26 points while the Raiders’ Ellis poured in 34. We were now in first place and determined to become Cape Champs. Elowever two defeats by both P-town and Elarwich in the Principals’ Tourney knocked Bourne out of the running. The Canal Currents staff salutes the team for Radio Station’s WOCB award of top league standing on the Upper Cape. For the second consecutive year, Bourne en- tered the Bay State Tournament, determined to defend its class D crown. The first game pitted Bourne against a scrappy” Dighton quintet at New Bedford. The entire game was a see-saw affair with neither team being able to get a sizeable lead. However, in the fourth quarter, Dighton turned on the steam and pulled out to a five point advantage which Bourne was not able to overtake. Final score, Dighton 52, Bourne 49- Due to the fewness in number the Jayvees were forced to play under unfavorable condi- tions. However, they amassed a record of 6 wins and 8 losses and gained valuable experi- ence for the future years on the varsity. 52 QirL ’ Jd asLethci l( 1st T)l cam Seated l. to r . : E. Mendes, C.

M OST of the girls were new to basketball this year and inexperienced with coordination and teamwork. The only returning veterans from last year were Alberta George, Charlotte George, and Marcia Sorenti. With a staunch heart and determi- nation the teams practiced diligently to make up in teamwork what they lacked in experience. There was insufficient time however, to coordi- nate before the first scheduled game with Sandwich, the Cape Cod Champs. It was a tough break for this new team to be pitted in its first game against the very best on the Cape. Senior girls of the first squad comprised Alberta George (forward), Sheila Mahoney (forward), San- dra Neal (guard), while the Juniors boasted Marcia Sorenti (forward), Pat Maderos (guard), Alice Rigazio (guard), and Joyce Dill (forward). Three Sophomores made the team Janice Abercrombie (forward), Pat Hill (forward), and Evelyn Mendes (guard), whole two Freshmen Eleanor Stahura (for- ward), and tall Lorraine Barrows (guard) wore the white uniforms. Points tallied by the hard working forwards were as follows: Encouraged by Coach Sullivan, the girls sallied forth only to go down in defeat by a 61-25 score. This loss must have affected the team psychologically because they lost seven straight before registering a winning tally with Wareham. The opposing teams played well but our girls stayed right with them and put up a good fight in many thrilling contests. Each girl played hard and gave the best of her ability.

On that day eight select- ions were to be made by popular election for the following year’s cheering squad. Everyone experiences the excitement of a win- ning tally and each identifys himself with his team.” Success of a team is in large measure due to the con- fidence a student body places in its squads and how enthusiastically they support and cheer the repre- sentatives of the school. The contestants knew that seeing a team win was great, but to be a part of, and cheer the squads on to victory, was even greater. With this in the candidate’s mind and heart, each tryout” gave it all she had. When the votes were counted, the returns show- ed the following elected: Gail Mallinson, captain; Beverly Bosnengo, Janice Crosby, Betty Neal, Betsy Ryder, Sandra Long, Jeannie Tucker, and Sally Cook. In a short while, Beverly and Jeannie left the squad but were ably replaced by Katheline McComiskey and Mary Bernabei. In the fall practice was held every afternoon so that the relatively new squad could experience work- ing together and achieve coordination for victory cheering. The first public appearance of the year was the P-town game and the girls cheered the team to a glorious victory. The nervous tension of a first performance” soon became history and the rest of the year saw an able, fighting, entertaining and color- ful cheering squad executing intricate maneuvers both on the football field and on the basketball court. Many of the cheers drew applause from the audience. As the football season was coming to a close the cheerleaders were treated to a college game where they saw Harvard, hosting Brown at Harvard Sta- dium, defeat the visitors. Although Turkey Day saw Bourne go down in defeat, it was heartening to see the crowded stands vibrating with enthusiasm and spirit, in no small measure induced by the cheerleaders. At all the football and basketball games the cheerleaders could be seen sparking the team and boosting its morale. Appreciation is due our wonderful squad for the life given the numerous pep” rallies and engender- ing a spirit” among the student body. 55 Kneeling : J. Lewis St. nding l. to r M. Chandler, J. Tripp, H. Lamken. F OR the past two years Bourne High has boasted a team of capable majorettes who strut before the band at its various performances giving it color and glamour. These pert young misses, uniformed in purple and white, twirl the baton in a professional manner and may be seen at football games, assemblies, and parades in which the band marches. Membership is by election from band members only. Each candidate who vies for a spot, performs her antics before the band individually as the cheer- leaders do before an assembly. Performance, poise, confidence, and ability, all influence the vote which is by ballot. When the returns are in the lucky try- outs are given the nod and practice for teamwork and coordination begins. Current members include Janice Lewis, captain; Marcia Chandler, Helen Lampkin, and Judy Tripp. This quartet of an and rhythm could be seen holding practice in the gym where coordination and marching maneuvers with their batons were perfect- ed. Their bright white boots strutting in goose-step rhythm certainly added to the festivities between halves at football games and at the Sandwich soccer home games. The last appearance of the Batonettes” will be leading the parade down Main Street on Memorial Day. It has been a wonderful year for this squad, and it is hoped that next year will be even better.

B EFORE the snow had cleared or the ground thawed, the gymnasium echoed with the sound of fast-thrown balls, striking mitts, and gloves. Again, before Spring had hardly ar- rived, the call for varsity baseball candidates was posted, and a small but experienced group answered for organized indoor practice in the gymnasium. The baseball team under the tutelage of Coach Comings was fortunate in having many veterans from last year. Holdovers were Peter Cardoza, Robert Cushing, Roy Weston, Chris Gaffney, John Alden, Robert Cahoon, Paul Cardoza, Ronald Harding, Rodney Valentini, Philip Curry, Wayne Upton, Arthur Watt and Dick Palumbo. We are also fortunate in hav- ing as new comers Marvin Arthur, Robert Nealon, Stanley Gibbs, Robert Merchant, Robert Bofettie, Stephen Lawless, Philip Cun- ningham, Vincent Reali, and Elbert Pipkins. Before long a fast, smart infield was brought together which had Watt back at first, Curry holding down second, Cahoon in the shortstop position and Weston at third. This combi- nation proved quite successful defensively and without a doubt will remain intact for the whole season. Alden, Gaffney and Cunning- ham were the new hurlers to take the slab along with Upton. Cardoza was assisted behind the bat by Harding and the green was well patrolled by Polumbo, Arthur, and Cushing, along with Valentini.

T3 OME wasn’t built in a day, nor a yearbook A ' ' put out in a matter of hours. Days and months of planning, ad-hunting, picture-taking, and theme-writing go into the composition, ar- rangement, and publication of an Annual. Under the guidance of Faith Luttman- Johnson, editor-in-chief; Mary MacLeod, man- aging editor; Robert Merchant, photo and journeyman editor; and Eleanor Stahura, as- sistant photo and cub editor, ideas slowly began to evolve for the coming book. Many meetings and many hours of patient deliberation with ideas, had to pass before the staff’s aspirations crystaEzed into something tangible to be en- closed between these covers. We of the editorial staff wish to acknowl- edge with thanks the reporting and editing of Philip Doucette, Kevin Fielding, Sandra Neal, Fob Cahcon, Bob Cushing, Joan Ojala, Peter Cardoza, Bob Pcla, Bob Nealon, Carol Dainty, Ronald Bassett, Nancy Bradley, Brenda Clou- ette, Virginia Peebles, Janice Lewis, Neil Min- ihan, Crystal Campbell and Janice Crosby. All those people and more did an excellent job with writeups for which they spent much time in service to the book. We also wish to thank the managing staff for securing and editing the ads and patrons; especially, John Littlewood, Philip Doucette, Elaine Tassinari, Virginia Papi, Marcia Sorenti, Sandra Neal, Joann Eldridge, Nancy Wheeler, Beverly Bosnengo and Linda Cooper. To all a hearty salute. Finally, a word of sincere appreciation, grati- tude, and congratulations to our advisor, Mr. Margarones, whose perseverance and expert guidance throughout the past year made this book possible and to whom was awarded the N.S.P.A.’s highest honor of STAR for outstand- ing contributions to journalism for his work with our Annual, Canal Currents.” 58 For meritorious service in journalism and work on the Canal Currents, the National Scholastic Press Association presents the following aivards of distinction. nan inJon The star is described as one who shines prominently in a calling or profession; any out- standing or prominent person. He is the master craftsman, the efficient and tireless writer or executive. For three years of con- scientious and meritorious service to the Canal Currents, this N. S. P. A. highest honor is awarded. A journeyman is one who has completed his apprenticeship or learned his trade, the same authority says. The term distinguishes a quali- fied workman from the apprentice on the one- hand and the master” on the other. This is the accomplished craftsman by learning and experience. For meritorious service to the Bourne High Annual, this N.S.P.A. journey- man award is given. a can or lira A cub is described in Webster as an under- ling or apprentice. He is learning his trade or craft. He can be lazy, careless and virtually useless or he can be alert, resourceful and ex- tremely helpful. To encourage a further dis- play of these latter attitudes ( the first step to becoming an accomplished craftsman) this N.S.P.A. Cub award is presented. 59 60 Vocj m UdlC E NTERING the auditorium on a Thursday morn- ing, one will usually find a group of enthusiastic students and an able director all attempting to de- velop the fine art of vocal music, within the halls of Bourne High. Under the supervision of Mr. Carlton Thorne, Music Director, those students interested in music have been able to make these halls ring with their renditions of widely assorted melodies. There are two main groups in Vocal Music — the large Mixed Chorus, and the Special Chorus. This year it was the Special Chorus which spent the most time polishing up its repertoire. Numbering eighty voices strong this chorus is quite capable of singing a song to anyone ' s desire and pleasure. This year’s choral selections included light tunes — The Animal Fair” — show tunes: Some En- chanted Evening”, Oklahoma”, If I Loved You”, Because”, The Bells of St. Mary’s”, and religious numbers God So Loved the World”, and Rock A Ma Soul.” Activities of the group were varied and included a performance for the Women’s Club, making the annual rounds of Christmas Caroling, as well as pro- viding entertainment at the Junior Christmas Party. Again they had the honor of singing for the induc- tion ceremony of the National Honor Society for which The Lord’s Prayer,” The Green Cathedral,” and Jesu, Son of God” were the selections. Some members of this group will be able to participate in the chorus at the Cape Cod Music Festival, held here in Bourne this year. As Graduation time approaches the mixed chorus ( quite a large group composed of the entire Fresh- man and Senior classes plus all other students who wish to participate), will combine with the orchestra for several of these wonderful arrangements which are always the high spots of the musical year. When this time arrives music groups will blend their voices to make that last final note of the year the best of all. Although if you asked one of our choristers what he liked best about music, he would be most apt to answer The five-minute break.” Every mem- ber of the chorus has really enjoyed the year’s music and is quite proud of his belonging to this group. E VERY Monday evening an enthusiastic group of students from the Bourne and Sandwich schools, meet to have a rehearsal of the Shawme Orchestra. The leader of this group is Mr. Carlton Thorne. The orchestra plays for many school functions of both Bourne and Sandwich. It has played for both school’s senior class plays and will play for gradu- ation and classnight. Although the orchestra is smaller than the Shawme school band, it is progressing rapidly and soon will be a truly fine school musical group. It is the hope of all its members that people will enjoy the music of Shawme Orchestra for years to come. The Shawme School Band, which is under the expert supervision of its director Mr. Carlton Thorne, is fast becoming a staunch supporter of the Bourne and Sandwich School Activities. Every Thursday at seven p.m. the Shawme School Band meets at the Bourne Grammar School. Its membership, at the present about 35, is ever in- creasing and the quality of music is fast nearing perfection. The school band plays for such activities during the year as football games, pep rallies, assemblies, P.T.A. shows, concerts, soccer games and Memorial Day Parades. Within the Shawme School Band is a Band club which meets on the evenings of the regular Thursday rehearsals. After organizing under the di- rection of Ronald Bassett, president; Carol Dainty, secretary; and Richard Canning, treasurer; the group launched into fund raising activities. Enough money was raised to not only purchase music, instruments, and membership cards, but also to sponsor a Christ- mas and a beach party. We of the band salute our very capable major- ettes. Dressed in purple and white uniforms, with matching boots and hats, they make a colorful sight at the head of the band on all occasions. The Shawme School Band feels that it has ac- complished quite a bit in the year 1956-57 and only hopes that it will be of constant use by the com- munities in the future. 1 avT . 5ri, fJ ' I s - m • 1 ' W S mm 62 Seated l. to r. : C.

CCHOLARSHIP, Leadership, Character, Service; these four are the qualifications for membership into the National Honor Society. Scholarship repre- sents the person who has found the key to the golden gates of learning through which he has entered. It symbolizes our purpose to bear forward the searching light of truth. Character is the development of the personality and which stands for all that is good and true. Leadership is the courage and ability of a person to guide others into action Service is that quality in a person which makes him eager to serve his fellowman. Beginning with the induction of eight members from the junior and senior classes in the spring of 1955, the James F. Peebles Chapter now lists 24 members on its roll of honor. Early last fall the current group formally met for the election of officers. The returns showed that Faith Luttman-Johnson was chosen President, Philip Doucette as Vice-President, Sandra Neal as Secre- tary, and Carol Dainty as Treasurer. At this same meeting the group discussed the preparation of a banner to identify the chapter, and contribute to the trappings for a more impressive ceremonial. From many days of hard work emerged several innovations in the ceremony which coupled with the extraordinary singing of Mr. Thorne’s chorus makes, perhaps, for the most impressive and most beauti- ful program at Bourne High School. The new induction program was put to the test on February 15 when Crystal Campbell and Joan Ojala were summoned by the guide for induction. Also at this, the first of the year ' s two programs, the emblem of the chapter was unfurled and ex- plained to the candidates by the president. Many tireless hours of work were spent by the members and especially by the advisor Mr. Margarones in perfecting the symbolism which would be, not only unique and consonant with the ideals for which this body stands, but also to make it consistant with the ideals of our school and town. w 63 flat i Jl ona t onor Societ V «r soc,et 0 BOURNE WB MASS. James f. Peebles chapter The banner, bearing the chapter’s name, shows the Honor Society’s emblem of a flaming torch and keystone placed in the middle of a 4 ' x8 ' purple field. In the keystone are the characters C S L S which stand for Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service — the four foundation stones of the organization. On the left appears the Rosetta Stone bearing three inscriptions, Hebrew, Greek, Latin. The Hebrew reads ”Oh God Israel, thou art one God.” The Greek means, Man is the Measure of all things.” The Latin says, You, Roman, are meant to Rule, this is your mission.” Each one, we feel, epitomizes the cultural heritage bestowed us by these great peoples of history. As the ancient Rosetta Stone, written in three different languages, unlocked the secrets of the heiroglyphics and the ancients, so may this modern Stone reveal the greatness and success of the ancients and be a guide to our future. On the right of the flaming torch is a white carnation with the words In Memoriam written directly above. The carnation is in loving memory of Mrs. Mabel Peebles to whom the first memorial induction was dedicated. Symbolically, the carnation stands in dedication to all, both living and deceased, w ho embody and personify the great virtues for which we stand. Many of us have experienced the joy of seeing the James F. Peebles Chapter grow both in membership and beauty. Before closing we pause in tribute to our advisor Mr. Margarones who personifies the great virtues and who was responsible for the National Honor Society at Bourne High. Finally we extend a heartfelt welcome to all who seek to enter the chapter in the hopes that upon lighting their candles from the lamp of all learning, they will held with pride, as we have, their place in the National Honor Society.

The entire scene takes place in the auditorium and stage before, during, and immediately following the play performance. Among the myriad obstacles (brought into comic relief) which faced young Miss Burgess were: a grouchy janitor with a sharp tongue; the disappear- ance of the play books on the first day of rehearsal; a set of comically crossed-up high school romances; a charming young heroine who becomes stage struck while her bewildered boyfriend, in acting, assumes a swollen head”; the disgruntled athlete who felt cut of place as an actor; a flambouyant professional actress with advice; a banker’s daughter driven to theft and dirty” tricks” by her father ' s ambitions. The play reached an unexpected climax in the romance of Miss Burgess herself. All is well that ends well. A unique feature of this production was that many of the cast came unto the stage directly from the audience or from the back of the auditorium and left in the same manner. Although this startled the audi- ence at first, it gave them a feeling of participation in the play and they enjoyed it. Special bouquets of thanks and success are due Miss Bailey and her assistants; Mr. Thorne and his band for their fine musical selections; the stage hands; property managers; all who aided and helped make this production a success.

U NDER the able direction of Mr. Herbert Nicker- son and Mr. Frederick Comings, the Bourne Key Club was launched to a good start this year. In keeping with its basic aims, the club helps both the school and community in whatever capacity it is needed and can best fulfill the task. It aided in fund raising for various clubs, charity drives and pur- chased uniforms last year for the High School cheer- leaders. One might say that when emergency strikes the Key Club is right there aiding all it can. A major project undertaken this year was the in- stallation of a coke” machine in the outside hall for the students ' use during lunch period or after school. The machine has also proved valuable to thirsty patrons at the various school functions given at night. Another project concluded this year was the installation of an outside bulletin board placed at the approach of the bridge for all to see. Currently, the Key Club is undertaking the possi- bility of installing a fan in the cafeteria. Appreciation and thanks are in order for the two Key Club sweethearts Janice Lewis and Carol Dainty who have inspired and helped the organiza- tion tremendously during this past year. 67 i I l 1 t (Council A M. of the members of the Bourne High School Student Council are proud to say that this was truly one of their most successful years. Soon after the opening of school the elections were held and appointments were made which ultimately resulted in the formation of another student council. Under the able leadership of Faith Luttman- johnson, our president, supported by John Swift, the ' Veep ' ’ of the Council, we embarked upon a program of providing the best for the student body.” Ann Pippin as our secretary provided com- plete records throughout the year which kept her quite occupied. After being approved, these were posted on the specially constructed student council bulletin board for the students to read. We voted that our meetings were to be held every other Wednesday; a decision, which, because of our deluge of business, later had to be changed to each Wednesday. To cite a few of the more important accomplish- ments of the Council this year: The Council was very instrumental in the acquisition of a public- address system for the school; aided in many of the assemblies of the year; was in charge of a mock presidential election; handled the election of a school representative for Student Government Day; and at the end of the year it assumed the responsibility for a series of assemblies, including such great motion pictures as ' The Caine Mutiny and Same Fe.” Truly this has been a year packed with excitement for us all! For the first time in a long while, the Council sent three delegates to the fall meeting of the Southeastern Student Council Convention held in the Dartmouth High School. Those delegates were Faith Luttman-Johnson, Neil Minihan, and Eleanor Stahura. At the convention such topics as Seated l. to r. E. Stahura, A. Pippin, M. Sorenti, Standing-. N. Minihan, F. Luttman-Johnson, president; J. Swift. School Conduct,” Community Living,” and the like were discussed. We feel that it helped to give our members a clearer concept of the value of a student council in a school. The Council regretted the fact that our invaluable advisor, Mr. Margarones, was not going to be with us next year. All of us feel that any success that the council has achieved has been due in no small part because of his undying service and aid. And so with this brief summary of the year ' s work, we the members of the Bourne High School Student Council — Faith Luttman-Johnson, John Swift, Marcia Sorenti, Thomas Landers, Neil Minihan, Ann Pippin, Joyce Mitchell, and Eleanor Stahura — close for the year of ’56-’57. However, we will be back next year with a new Council, sparked with vigor and interest, to carry on the work of PROVIDING THE BEST FOR BOURNE HIGH.” Seated l. to r. A. George, A. Pippin, N.

The returns showed that short, pert Mary Ann Bernabei of the Junior class was selected to wield the gavel. Her assistant was to be Claire Pippin. To keep the minutes, the newly assembled body selected Crystal Campbell and gave the nod to Joan Ojala, another proud Junior, to hold the moneys. The football season was on and the A. A. wasted no time swinging into action. It immediately launched into activities and prepared for the sale of A. A. tickets to students and admittance tickets to patrons of the ball games. Besides engaging in general usher duty, plans were made to prepare and sell coffee, cokes and chips for patron refreshment between halves. Neil Minihan and George Tomlinson, the two he-men” of the group, could usually be seen and heard arguing over the matter as to who was to open the cokes while Crystal Campbell would generally be found trying to convince both that she should. People w ' ho came to our football games were greeted by Mary Barnabei, Ann Pippin, and Faith J.uttman-Johnson, who sold the tickets and Char- lotte George, Katherine Cannon and Claire Pippin who generally collected them. At the refreshment counter or in the Shack” Joan Ojala, Sandra Neal, Lois Philbreck, and Alberta George had the job of selling coke and chips to the ever hungry crowds. When Basketball season arrived, w ' e held just about the same positions, except for our He-men” who chose to sell tickets, for now they would sit down and take life easy. The group did not go to Boston or Providence this year as it generally does. However, plans are afoot for some kind of visitation before the year is out. When all things are con- sidered, the A. A. had a pretty good year. 68 T , HE O. G. M. C. (or better known as the Office Girls’ Mercury Corps) needed their winged feet to run all the errands required of them by Mr. Stahura, Mr. Graves, and the secretaries this year. Each girl devotes a free study period to help the office staff with the numerous jobs” which would otherwise con- stitute a hinderance to that professional staff. The first bell found Faith Luttman-Johnson collecting the absentee slips which were typed and then distributed to the classrooms. Second, third and fourth periods saw Winifred Jones, Barbara Molin, and Brenda Clouette delivering messages, cleaning the supply closet and being useful in general. During the fifth period, Mar- cia Wright took over the management” of the office while the administration and secretarial staff ate their lunch. Sixth period usually found Jeannie Tucker carrying messages to the second floor and the responses back again. The school day ended with Marcia Wright back again for the last period. Each office girl agrees that the work is not only fun but that a lot of valuable experience can be gained as well. 69 I Seated l. to r. : M. Sorenti, J. Willey, B. Clouette, M. Weeks, A. Pippin, M.

It is now well supplied with books of every reading descrip- tion that will satisfy even the most searching mind. To keep this library in working order many students were appointed to serve as book dis- patchers during their study hall. Advising and instructing the group are Miss Bailey, and Mrs. Rose who have kept the girls quite busy in a never-ending” amount of work. This work entails placing books in the proper catalogued order, tracing down lost or misplaced books, and getting the card catalogue up to date. Other duties include mending torn pages, pre- paring new books for shelves, checking books in and out, making sure that cards are put in the proper place and not in the drawer, desk or closet! Every day a list of students holding overdue books is compiled and put on the notices to be read by the teachers. This ensures prompt return of books en- abling the other students to check them out. Two magazine racks, well stocked with top periodi- cals and guidance material, keep the students abreast with the latest developments and expose them to occupational information for job opportunities upon graduation. On the library’s bulletin board is found an art creation of Melissa Drew, a sophomore. On a poster she has drawn in portraiture each of the librarians, with an identifying note of the period served. Judy Duggan and Marcia Sorenti draw duty the first period, while Crystal Campbell and Mary Barnabei check out the second. On Mondays and Wednesdays the lone” boy Neil Minihan is found serving third period and on other days this time is alloted to Ann Pippin and Virginia Peebles. Joan Ojala and Marcia Wright ably dispatch the fourth period while Betty Boles and Virginia Peebles repeat the performance on the fifth. Melissa Drew and Judy Barlow ade- quately handled the sixth period while Brenda Clouette and Janice Willy closed the day. The librarians are undertaking a training program to ensure an adequate staff for next year. Currently enrolled is Claire Dainty who is under the tutelage of Brenda Clouette and Janice Willy. It is hoped that the students will read the card catalogue and ask for a book by both the title, author, and identifying number. The staff expresses its thanks for the cooperation given it by the faculty and student body and feels assured that the library facili- ties will be used to their very fullest advantage in the years to come with maximum benefit to all. 70 Left to right : J. Philbrick, J. Bell, Mr. Butler. r LJri uer Jra inincj A T Bourne High School, a highly developed pro- gram of driver education has been in progress for a long time under the direction of Mr. Butler. The course is elective and carries no point value toward graduation, but all who take it agree that it is one of the most worth while activities at school. To be eligible, one must be sixteen before the state allows a candidate to get behind the w ' heel. In a few cases those under sixteen may participate in the class room instruction but under no circumstances in road instruction. Class work was done mostly during special periods on Thursday and sometimes after school. The text used was Man and the Motor Car” which discussed everything pertaining to driving from mechanics to attitudes. The gas was traced from the tank to the engine. The necessity of the battery, generator, and water pump were explained. Psychology of the mind was explained and the formation of proper mental attitudes toward driving were developed. The class instruction closed with a detailed analysis of the motor vehicle law in Massachusetts. The final test was a standard form issued by the Registry and administered by Mr. Butler. If a can- didate passed this with a score of 80, he would be free from questioning by the inspector. Although this caused much sweating and worrying, all passed the written exam. The second phase of the program consists of behind-the-wheel training. The class was divided into gtoups of 2’s, 3’s, or 4’s, taken from study periods to go on the road. In a new dual control Chevrolet donated by the Buzzards Bay Garage the actual road training was begun. Nervous tension and fear soon gave way to relaxation and confidence. Once the ' feel” of it is obtained, it’s very easy and gone are the apprehensions and mystery surrounding the mech- anics of the car. The big day arrives w ' hen the candidates solo” for the Registry inspector. Once around the course, back up, stop on the hill, turn around, make a left turn,” are the vocal commands. Being a little afraid, the candidate hesitates but finally pulls through with flying (driving) colors. Every trainee leaves the course with a pink slip, a good knowledge of road law ' s, and a familiarity with the workings of a car. 71 M EETING in room 23 during special periods each Thursday, several students elected to take art this year. Under the supervision of Mrs. Walker, the future masters” are busily engaged in cartoon sketching, soap carving, clay modeling, and design painting. Working with pencil, chalk, clay and paints these patrons of art’ created posters for various school activities and currently may be seen making Prom posters. Once the preliminary instruction was out of the way, the class was informed it could create a project of their own choice. After some thought the girls chose dress design while the boys selected projects ranging from sketching ships and scenery and Elvis Presley to modeling clay. Many of these models were vivid portrayals of life-like rhinoserous and other animals as well as people. At Halloween several sophomores in art helped decorate the gym with original creations of gruesome, fantastic characters in pastels. Such portrayals as a devil, a witch, people with sharp teeth and long noses, as well as some things”, helped adorn the walls in oiange and black. Before Christmas work in water colors was begun and instructions given in values of different colors as well as various color combinations, many members created several unusual and interesting water paintings. During the Christmas season each member de- signed would-be Christmas cards ranging from serious portrayals to more comic creations. Closely allied and following these cards was practice in cartoons. This activity was quite different and the class enjoyed dreaming up” different caricatures. Getting to the more serious side, the next pro- ject studied was proportions of figures, that is, how many heads” tall the person modeling in front of the room was, and how many heads down his shoulders, waist, knees, etc., would be. Each member took turns modeling and it was fun to see how your fellow classmates depicted and drew you. Following this, the class paired off into groups of two or three and drew portraits of each other with charcoal. The results were excellent and the resemblance just short of amazing. One of our final projects is lettering. Mrs. Walker showed us how to make the alphabet look good for a change. As the year closes, the class feels a sense of achieve- ment in its multi-varied art program. Besides being educational the class in art was most enjoyable. 72 We cannot know how much we learn From those who never will return, Until a flash of unforseen Remembrance falls on ivhat has been. Knowledge is but jolly unless it is guided by grace.

The Sophomores of Bourne High, known for initiative and wisdom, thank the seniors for their leadership and comradeship. As a class and individually, each of us wishes to each Senior the very best in the years to come.

Henceforth we must look, and we must sail forth, each his own pilot, using the knowledge for inspiration and guidance, to these who have gone before us to success. Not failure, but low aim is crime,” writes James Russell Lowell; and Hitch your wagon to a star.” believes Emerson. These our New England neighbors, it is well to heed. Sail off, class of ’57, for many happy tomorrows. Editor fa . aoZ -
