Encouraging Physical Fitness PHYSICAL EDUCATION While the boys were enjrayed in emulating Hercules, Atlas, and other local Greek volleyball champions, the girls exercised originality, creativity, and graceful motions in a program of modern dancing and gymnastics — both groups completely oblivious to the Other Domain across the gym . . . (partially oblivious?). The girls en- joyed having two gym teachers this year, Mrs. Sullivan and Mrs. Pen- thenv, each teacher giving instruc- tion in her particular field. Designed to relax strained brains and to pro- vide help in physical improvement, these classes are among the few that are never dreaded by the students. Mr. Louis Bachand Mrs. Ann Sullivan

Projects improve practical skills Mr. Emile Roberge PRACTIC AL ARTS DEPARTMENT Bourne does not produce only the future presidents, the perspicacious geni- uses, the nuclear physicists. A tantaliz- ing aroma which irresistably draws stu- dents towards the home economics rooms indicates the presence of various non- pareil talents. Prepared by Mrs. Jack Turner, courses which help girls under- stand nutrition values, complicated dress patterns, recipe book instructions, and the social graces are eagerly taken by many. Down a few corridors, a different group is engaged in other interesting activities. Besides helping the boys achieve a certain technical skill, me- chanical drawing, wood, and metal classes stimulate an interest in the in- dustrial world as a possible future career field. Through the excellent supervision of Mr. Roberge and the dedicated pa- tience of Mr. Dunn and Mr. Watson, attending these classes has become a memorable experience. Mr. Henry Watson “What’s so i)ractical about this project, any- way ? ”

Mrs. Elizabeth Ellis Mr. Jeremiah Lyon Diane Gagner posts an oi ig- inal. Mrs. Virginia Adair Mr. Lyon, Bourne’s art director, attempts to bring out the latent talents of the individual student. A new project on the art course agenda was a research paper which contained not only the prose ex- planation of the chosen subject, but also the student’s own illustra- tions. The “left bank” of Bourne High has participated in many lo- cal and national contests and has frequently decorated the school walls with various artistic dis- plays. The special classes at Bourne Mrs. Bertha Mayhew High are supervised by the pro- ficient and dedicated Mrs. Ellis. “Mrs. Mayhew - help” echoed ii through the hallways as desperate j| seniors tried to cope with the frus- trations of composing term papers. Rushing to the aid of such be- leaguered individuals is only a small part of the work of our li- brarian, Mrs. Bertha Mayhew. She also offers quantities of exciting entertainment literature for the book-minded student. Mrs. Adair, a new addition to the reading staff, this year work- ed with Bourne students to develop their reading skills. V- 30
