MATH Theorems, axioms, postulates, identities — these devices of solv- ing complicated math problems were drilled into the heads of BHS students daily by four expert mathematicians, Mr. Fitzgerald, the department head, Mr, Hamlen, Mr. Belliveau, and Mr. Holmes. These teachers combined their knowldege and efforts with the hope that by the time students left Bourne High they would be able to add two and two and not come up with five! Raymond Fitzgerald, Dept.

Biology I, II National Honor Society Advisor SCIENCE From the first operation performed by a class of future surgeons on a poor preserved bull frog, through a rotten egg gas experi- ment, to a complicated Physics problem, Bourne High students have been guided by four excellent science teachers: Mr. Allen, department head, Mr. Coulter, Mr. Ormerod, and Mrs. Kyrouz. At the end of the year these teachers breathed a sigh of relief, for most of the curious and mischievous students ad- vanced to a different branch of science to plague other teachers.

Industrial Arts- Metal LANGUAGE Latin, German, French anyone? You had your choice at Bourne. Mr. Logerstedt, depart- ment head, taught German, Mr. Brogioli taught Latin, and Mr. St. Aubin and Mrs. Larson taught French. Because of these teach- ers ' untiring efforts in explaining not only the grammar of the individual languages but also the customs and ways of living in the various countries, many students may further the studies of their language in higher places of learning.

A piece of chalk flew through the air os Mr. Jones scolded on uninformed economics stu- dent. Mr. Jones, department head, with Mr. Lovin, Mr. Lindberg, and Mr. Manning, strove each day to enlighten students on many current issues. Modern European History, Govern- ment, World Geography, and U. S. History served to give students an ex- tensive look at the United States and other nations from many angles. The economy-minded student of to- day may become the Wall Street ty- coon of tomorrow. Seniors would have been rich by now if the money given for the purchase of stocks from the Big Board had been real. Leo Manning B.A. World Histroy, European History, A. A.
