24 Seniors A S we, the class of ”57’ ' pass through the doors of Bourne High for the final time, memories of four immortal years pass through our minds. 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. MacLeod, Class Will; F. Luttman-Johnson and L. Cooper, Class Prophesy; L. Philbrick, Class History; P. Doucette and E. Tassinari, Class Gifts; C. Dainty, Class Ode; N. Wheeler, G. Mallinson and M. Towne, Last Assembly. Now it’s almost over. The four years are fading into memories. But memories which we will never forget. ill « M l Bn ' 1 if i « ■ |
