4 THE ECHO O NE of the advantages of a summer vaca- tion lies in the fact that it gives us time to rcNdew in our minds the work of the past nine months and to look forw ' ard to the ap- proaching school year. Fresh and rested we can better realize where we have failed and esti- mate the work we vish to accomplish. To those of us who have neglected our studies during the year, vacation brings an opportun- ity for reviewing and mastering the slighted work so that we can start the new term with a clear record. The decision as to what college or school to attend after high school is a problem which presents itself to some of us and there is no bet- ter time for studying catalogues and getting information concernii g such matters than dur- ing July and August. During this time the office forces of the various schools are not so busy as in the spring and fall and answers to inquir- ies are prompt and full. Students from the different institutions are also at home and are glad to give information and advice which is often fully as valuable as the printed material sent out from the schools. “Lest we forget” When as.signing the long list of books for outside reading during the year the teachers told us that this list would be suffi- ciently long and broad in scope to furnish a basis for our outside reading during the summer. Many of us have taken advantage of the extra points of eredit allowed for reading books and have not only raisedour marks but found enjoy- ment in so doing. Daily reading is an excellent hab it for us to form for. aside from the pleasure which it brings, reading presents truths and ideals to us, it portrays facts and ideas whieh we do not meet in our daily lives, it increases our power of thinking, it helps us appreciate beauty and it adds to our ability to express our own thoughts. We now have ten weeks of vacation and a good library before us, shall we not take advantage of them ? F our members of the senior class have de- finitely decided to continue their education after reeeiving their high school diplomas. Miss Iva Higgins is to enter Boston University, Miss Helen West and Miss Lucy Chapman are to attend Bridgewater Normal while Miss Eliza- beth McLaughlin will take a post graduate course in eommercial subjects at Sumner High. From the junior class Ivor Muzzey has taken preliminary examinations to enter Tufts and Earle Allen for Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
