outstanding honors bestowed upon the members of the Senior Class, I should mention that Bill Lewis was editor of this year’s annual; Emma Short was D. A. R. Representative and editor of the ’’Sumnette”; Gladys Perdue was business mana¬ ger of the ’’Sumner Echoes”. Don’t think the other members of our class aren’t important, for if it had not been for them, these people could never have carried on as well as they have. Our memory books arrived in January and some of them were practically full before the end of April. Oh, those snapshots in some of them will certainly recall to us cher-r ished memories. In March each Senior received printed invi¬ tations to the much talked about and anticipated occasion, the banquet given particularly to honor us. This took place on Friday evening, March 26, at the Bliss Restaurant. We shall never forget the grand time we had under the excell¬ ent presiding of Elroy Dodson. He really was a grand toast¬ master . As we advance nearer to our last days at dear old Sum¬ ner, we recall the selection of the cast for the Senior Play We’ll have to hand it to our class. We had a talented group to take part in ’’Miss Smarty”. For our performance a lot of the credit goes to Miss Thelma Cornette. So this is Class Night. To Miss Emma Hemphill, many thanks for helping us with this program and may the best be hers forever. Gradu¬ ation is yet to come, and a little dreaded, I believe. We each say we are glad, and maybe we are; but the thought of leaving, what has been the same as home to us for the past twelve years brings us regret Here we are on the last phase of our school career, some to go to college, some to go to an office job, and still others to become homemakers To each of our fellow Seniors go our sincere wishes for a most happy future--whatever it may be. To Mr. T. H. Smith, our principal, go many thanks and much appreciation for his untiring interest in each of us and for his many helpful suggestions. To Miss Thelma Cornette, our Senior Class Sponsor, we owe much. She has stood by us when the going was rough as well as when things glided along smoothly. To each member of the faculty here at Sumner--we do appreciate you. We haven’t forgotten our underclassmen. We will always look to you for friendship and companionship. And last, but by no means least, our parents To you—we sin¬ cerely hope that you parents of the Senior Class can look at us and say, ”A task well done’.” You’ve done your part, and we hope we haven’t let you down.
