-ti— 1 FACULTY SNAPS There ' s more than one way to get a point across. Let ' s see, where ' d I leave the bathroom? Look, Ma, no cavities! Revenge is sweet so why are you cringing? The Limbo? That ' s not my record. My Corvette can too beat your T-Bird. You ' re not supposed to recognize me. I ' m inconspicuous!

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of ' 59 — freshmen joined the ranks of Bourne High School. After deciding which stairs were up and which were down os well os oquointing ourselves with new rules and regula- tions, we elected the following slate of officers un- der the auspices of Mr. Anthony Troy, our class advisor; Nick Vordoc, Pres.; Ted Parker, Vice-Pres.; Paulo Bowers, Sec.; and Mike McKeehon, Treos. Although our afternoon shift from 12:15 to 5:00 put o damper on both social and athletic extra- curricular activities, our class, for one of its money making projects, sold pencils with basketball sched- ules printed on them. As sophomores we now exercised supreme rule over the lowly Frosh in the afternoon session. Our officers were Jim Kelley, Pres.; Steve Poage, Vice-Pres.; Bud LaBouliere, Sec.; and Liz Long, Treas. In October of ' 60 we sponsored the annual Halloween Hop, which was as successful as the preparation was fun. Mrs. Bradford ' s afternoon French classes spent their classroom periods dec- orating the gym. A special student combo provid- ed the entertainment for the Hop, which was one of the last dances held in the old high school. In February of ' 61, we understandably lowered our SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Pres., Jim Kelley; V. Pres., Steve Poage; Sec., Paula Hadley; Treas., Donna Rawson status due to the long-awaited move to the new high school where Bourne High once again operat- ed as one unit. The beautiful new school more than made up for our suffering as underclassmen, and we thoroughly enjoyed the remainder of the year. As juniors the half-way mark of our high school education had been reached. Only two more years to go! shouted everyone with glee. Our all-im- portant officers were Jim Kelley, Pres.; Steve Poage, Vice-Pres.; Beverly Harris, Sec.; and Carol Tripp, Treas. In order to relieve financial prob- lems, we sold candy in November and December of ' 61. As the Junior Prom loomed over our heads, committees began to form. The class, having de- cided on the theme Roman Holiday , elected Jerry Baisden the chairman of our special produc- tion. Memories of tall white pillars, huge golden grapes, the Queen ' s throne occupied by our Queen, Liz Long, and the dreamy music will long linger in the minds of many. As we watched the Class of ' 62 receive their diplomas, we suddenly realized, We ' re next! With the coming of the fall, the class of ' 63 embarked upon the traditionally hectic but fun- filled senior year. Our most important officers were Jim Kelley, Pres.; Steve Poage, Vice-Pres.; Paula Hadley, Sec.; and Donna Rawson, Treas. Our Stu- dent Council of which the seniors were Dick Eck- strom. Pres.; Jerry Baisden, Donna Boyer, Nina Byrnes, and Paula Bowers surprised us with two welcomed senior privileges — a separate set of bleachers for all assemblies and a special lunch table in the cafeteria. On November 16, the senior class presented Take Care of My Little Girl , a very successful play with Elaine Colgan playing the lead. Following mid-years in January, plans for grad- uation arose fast and furious as senior cards ar- rived, measurements for caps and gowns were tak- en, and acceptances from colleges and other schools came in while prayers for acceptances went out. Finally, the day of all days loomed before us. Exams had been corrected, and seniors tensely awaited the night of June llth. Never will we be able to forget our years in Bourne High School, for those four years allowed us to grow from the mere children of yesterday to the young adults of today ' 22
