Youthfullness Is Eloquently Expressed in our Assortments of Smart Apparel for Misses COATS FURS DRESSES SUITS SWEATERS BLOUSES (A Rose and Gray Beauty Shop — Third Floor) Brockton Brockton Miss B. — “A fine typist you’ll make. Call yourself a typist and you can’t even put a ribbon in a type- writer.” A. Me — “Well, can Paderewski tune a piano?” Mr. N. — “What is a waffle?” Freshman — “A pancake with cleats.” R. Z. — “What were you doing this summer?” Tweet — “Worked in my father’s office.” Roger — “I wasn’t working either.” Editor (to Freshman author) — “So this is your stuff, is it? What do you mean by saying the man ‘jumped for joy’ and then, that his ‘dehght knew no bounds’?” Mrs. Moore brought her little boy to school on opening day and said to the teacher: “Little Bennie is so delicate. If he is bad — and some- times he is — just whip the boy next to him that will frighten him and make him behave.”

20 THE ECHO Football, Basketball, and Indoor Athletics It has been a long time since Sum- ner has had a basketball team, and though it will probably be a while longer before we have one in inter- scholastic contests, yet we have made a start and Mr. Neal is in hopes of forming a team next season. We have already had a number of inter- c ] ass games but what we really ought to have is an honest-to-goodness school team. As for football, not yet but soon. After Bunny and Hammy had chosen their teams they indulged in several scrimmages (the teams, not Bunny and Hammy), and egged on by Mr. Neal they certainly had a hot old time, resulting in a variety of cas- ualties, such as black eyes, bloody noses, sprained ankles, etc., not even Hammie (revised spelling) escaping. Incidentally he made a dislocated el- bow serve as an excuse to escape the a!gebra he hadn’t prepared. Never- the ] ess, it’s a great game and we’ll have a real team yet. By the way, we’ll be starting in- door athletics as soon as it’s too cold to work outdoors, so get ready, boys. Not the least of these are the exhib- itors of amateur boxing (no ladies ad- mitted), which ought to provide a safe outlet for old enmities (Greeny and Bart take notice) also R. B.). According to the latest reports, we have a pretty good chance of getting a hall for basketball practice and if these plans are matured, the basket- ball team will probably be formed this winter. It goes to show Sumner is coming back. Junior High Athletics Four teams have b?en formed. Two are made up of girls, and two of boys. The captains of the teams are Van Michaels, Walter Long, Cora John- son and Dorothy Franz.
