The class of 1924 are leaving to seek the world in their separate ways. May success and happiness follow them as they take the road of life. We hope they may always be loyal to their classmates and to the school they are leaving. In losing the class of 1924 we lose a class that has been of great help to the school. They have taken an active part in athletics and other school activities and were the first class to publish the “Echo.” As Juniors they distinguished them- selves in scholarship by five of the class being admitted to the Pro- merito Society. May they go through life with the same spirit that they have shown in Sumner, and as they go may their knowledge increase. THELMA PETERSON ' , ;25. The Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publications We are associated with the South- eastern Massachusetts League of School Publications which has for its members schools publishing papers or magazines. This League holds its meetings four times a year at the different schools belonging to it. Representatives from our staff have been sent to several of these meetings and can bear testimony of the universal good time enjoyed. The Echo was submitted together with the other papers to a committee to be judged on different points. The Hingham School carried off the prize for the best poem while The Echo re- ceived honorable mention. The poem which brought us this credit was “The Brooklet,” in last year’s Gradu- ation issue. We, of the staff, were proud of this success and now we aspire to one of the prizes. This means that we must have the wholehearted support of each individual, with which I feel sure that we will achieve the end we pursue ! EMILY M. LAKEWITZ, ’25. School Spirit Dear and gentle reader, fellow stu- dents, and those who are to become students in High School this fall, my theme is short but sweet. It con- cerns school spirit. If you haven’t it, your worthless, not worthy of being educated or be- coming a citizen, for school spirit is only the stirring of the spirit of pat- riotism. If you have it you love your school, obey its standards of conduct, sup- port its activities, and hold it in pride before the world. It is that intangi- ble thing that makes the world go ’round. Have you it? E. A. J., ’24. To the Seniors jD A ay Knowledge increase for you day by day. A s bravely, Seniors, in work or play our trials you conquer along the way. I nown by all within our school, N ever to break the Golden Rule! O h! how earnestly now you strive W hen thoughts of graduation arrive, I earning all that is to be had, lhach one forgetting about being sad. X)elightful days with us you’ve spent Cjrant we those days you’ll ne’er repent E enjoying the gifts the Gods have lent. If ever blue days should come to you N ever forget to your motto be true Garry your cross with a cheery smile Raising your head, each weary mile, E ach moment of each livelong day i long life’s toilsome, busy way. Sumner High bids success to you E ach boy and girl, so loyal and true. THE ECHO 7 Americans In four or five years this class of nineteen twenty-four will be young men and women: full fledged, loyal, and patriotic citizens of the United States. That means on election day they will vote either for the Repub- lican or Democratic party, as the case may be, and otherwise tread the conventionalized path of conduct which goes outwardly to make a good citizen. But if they have a sincere desire to be of worth to their com- munity, to be truly loyal and patri- otic in the truer sense, much more is required of them. The first essential of citizenship is education. That is, not education in the pedagogical sense of the word, but political education. One needs must have a clear understanding of governmental laws and functions both in order to sanction and obey them. An unclouded comprehension of the administration’s domestic and foreign policies with what they in- volve is necessary. They constitute the life blood of the nation and are of vital importance to the private as well as the industrial life of every citizen in it. Thus, since it is im- possible and impotent to attempt to judge that which is foreign to the in- tellect, if one wishes to consider these same laws and policies impartially with a view of ascertaining their justness, one must know them thor- oughly. Ones decision should be un- prejudiced and carefully thought out if they are to be of value. It is dan- gerous to cast a vote which may help decide the destiny of a nation when it is founded on ignorance or snap judg- ment. Even of the sport page is more at- tractive one must keep up to date by intelligent reading, for the every-day citizen is the one most concerned and it is his duty to himself, society, and his government to give his attention for a small part of the day to nation- al affairs. When a people become indifferent to their government that government becomes futile. The first precept of a citizen, therefore, is to so educate and train his mind that he can independently formulate his own ideas and principles while at the same time restricting them to a practicable and compatible channel. When a citizen has then armed himself with the potent magic of knowledge he stands ready to take an active participation in govern- ment. There are three principal ways in which he may do so. The first way is by holding public office. Nature has doubly blessed some men with the rare quality of leadership. America has many such and she needs them all. The day of the pro- fessional politician is passing, but his place must be filled with tactful, hon- est, uncorrupt leaders and states- men. Personal distaste must be pushed aside if the public welfare hangs in the balance. Those who are greatly gifted must bear great re- sponsibility. The best are needed to govern. America honors those who lead. The second way is not less import- ant. It is the privilege and duty of each and every citizen to vote. Americans have dearly bought that power. It is one not to be sold for favors or partisan loyalty. It is the very foundation of our state. The use of it determines the fate of our leaders and their policies. It sways the economics of a world. It is all powerful. Accordingly he who mis- uses it profanes the sacred trust that thousands have protected with their blood that it might remain intact. If a citizen would rightly use this power he must, having unbiasedly weighed the evidence, cast his vote for the candidate or measure which he truly believes the better, irre- spective of personality or party. The third way is the most danger- ous of the three. It is citizen’s con- tribution to that vast, awful power named public opinion. Composed of the same thoughts in many minds, once it is crystallized everything is swept before it. It makes and breaks. It is not easily aroused, but poli- ticians tremble before it. It is to be no less carefully used. These are the three cardinal shares 8 THE i: G H O of ordinary citizenship. Of course it goes without saying that jury duty and tax payment must be fulfilled. They are essential if we are to con- tinue to enjoy organized government. There are other duties, too, which, while they may come more rarely, call for equal or even greated sacri- fice. The most important is the call to arms. No one questions the cheer- ful willingness of America’s sons to fight for home and liberty when the time comes. The lesson they taught the world in past generations and in this generation still remains vivid. In personal ways, besides, much can be done as for example by inducing aliens to adopt our customs and se- cure citizenship. Many mighty deeds of labor and heroism never receive the laudations of historians. So much, then, for the positive duties of a citizen. Yet, to best serve the nation there are a few out- standing dangers to be avoided. Let us examine the most prominent. The most prevalent danger to a free representative government is the enervating influence of machine politics, which, with its insidious de- mands on party loyalty and for divi- sion of the spoils, is a very imminent and deteriorating drawback to the American system. It is entrenched behind six generations of precedent. In fact, it seems to have become a habit, yet is is a rather humiliating and astounding idea that the other- wise independent American voting public should be a slave to come whenever the political lamp is rubbed. We need, without doubt, political parties but we don’t need either the political boss or his pro- fessional. Merit, not pull, is the only just basis of power. To remedy this system, consequently, each loyal citi- zen, official or voter, should avoid pledging himself unconditionally to any one party. He should, meta- phorically speaking, count ten, sleep over it, and then think twice, before allowing any silver tongued orator to change his opinions. Some men can make one temporarily think black is white. Another thing to avoid is permit- ting personal preference to bias one’s attitude and in letting present needs blind one to the confusion and de- struction an unwise law may do al- though it fit the present need. Of this Burke justly states “Man acts from adequate motives relative to his interest ; and not on metaphysical speculations. Aristotle, the great master of reasoning, cautions us, and with great weight and propriety, against this species of delusive geo- metrical accuracy in moral argument as the most fallacious of all sophistry” Bribery and ignorance are too evi- dent evils to need discussion. Now we come to the personal equa- tion. It may seem strange or absurb that the morals of one man could affect a whole country. Yet they can. It is a well known fact to physiologists that any sort of emo- tion spreads quickly in a community and soon becomes universal. The morals, both of business and conduct, of the average man, there- fore, represent the morals of Amer- ica. So when we strive for success or fame, let us make it a clean suc- cess and an unblemished fame. Let us conduct ourselves, in public and private, in a manner befitting the gentlemen, the men of America. Let us eliminate thoughts of corruption and of mercenariness from our minds. With compis mentis, corn- pis corpere; a clean mind in a sound body. Let us regard ourselves, not in relation to our own petty aims but to God and country. ELLIS JOHNSON, ’24. The American Girl and Her Future There is a similarity between the American girl and the girls of all other civilized countries, in the fact that, only recently she has been freed from the bonds that bound her throughout all the ages. Until the last century, she has been considered intellectually inferior to her brother and treated accordingly. The status of the boy and girl in THE ECHO 9 life has from the beginning been dif- ferent, In fact, the boy was free, the girl was not. The prejudices of so- ciety were cruel, unjust, and unkind. Women were hemmed in by tradition- al conventions, which were quite as binding as law and made it impossi- ble for them to act freely. If they tried to scale the wall that custom had built around them, they were called unwomanly and strong-minded. Even during the Civil War, women who spoke or read addresses in pub- lic received scathing and oftentimes insulting criticism, even from people supposedly well-bred. In earlier times, the father’s only thought of his daughter, was to find her a husband with a sufficient amount of property ; while the grcom-in-question considered but the am.ount of dower that the father would bestow upon the bride. Her feelings were not considered. You can recall that this method prevailed in many of the civilized countries down to very modern times. Even now, in Germany, one of the most advanced countries in science, they do much the same thing. Yvonne Loshe, an American girl, who hiked through Germany, reports that mar- riage is quite a business-like affair in the farm districts. The parents of the young people have an inter- view, discussing such matters as the inheritance of the groom and the dowry of the bride. Very frequent- ly, preparations are made without the young peoples’ knowledge. In geneology, the mothers are made no mention of, only the fath- ers. In the Old Testament, women are mentioned only when they are mothers of notable men. In this position, women stayed un- til less than 100 years ago. If a girl owned any property, it was trans- ferred to her husband, when she mar- ried. At his death, he might will it away, although it was her’s origin- ally. However, when a few women be- came educated, they realized the ad- vantages and opportunities — not only benefiting womanhood in general, but the country — that would come with universal education. Then followed the battle for in- tellectual freedom. Their arguments were truthful and convincing. Then, there were no institutions of educa- tion, which would admit women ; now there are very few from which women are excluded. When Elizabeth Cody Stanton re- marked a few years ago that the day would soon appear when women would vote as well as men, it caused great amusement. That day has ap- peared, for on August 20, 1920, a bill was passed by Congress, granting equal suffrage. Formerly, the only profession open to women was teaching, for which they were wretchedly paid ; now, any profession is open. The World War threw open farther the door to prog- ress and freedom for them. Many positions were thereby open for trial and the world was amazed by woman’s ability. Women were forced to take the place of the men in the army and they measured up to the need of the hour. Hardly an office can be found where there are not women employees. In banks, railroad offices, and business houses of every description, you will find them, and these conditions will con- tinue permanently in this country. We have saleswomen and buyers in large stores. Some fill the pulpit, others are doctors, lawyers, writers, artists, actresses, singers and po- licewomen. There is also a well- known feminine discoverer, Mme. Curie, a really great astronimer Maria Mitchell, and many other women of distinction in the social and political world. Soon both houses of Congress will be well filled with women as well as men. They will be presidents of banks, railroads and all kinds of corporations and will share equally with the men in the manage- ment of the large business enter- prises of the world. Today, we are so accustomed to our great opportunities for work, ed- ucation and pleasure, that we do not realize that the freedom, we now en- joy, but take as a matter of course, was only won by the sacrifice and 10 THE ECHO hard work of women of a by-gone age. We do not fully appreciate the bravery of them, who faced ridicule to bring about thi s reform ; these great people who gave up their own happiness and comfort and subjected themselves to contumely that we might be free. They should be re- garded with affectionate and grate- ful veneration by us. Even in the 20th century many battles for freedom and justice re- main to be won. An education makes a girl keen, alert, intelligent, and efficient. She will accept the duties of the community, eager to do her share. Furthermore, it trains her mind to meet great problems and fits her to serve her country, wise- ly and well. She can contribute to American life and through it to the life of the world. At no time has the future looked so bright and prosperous for the American girl as now and it is for us graduates to follow and widen the trail that the women of the last cen- tury have so effectively blazed for us, so that we might be free. Valedictory At last the time has come when the class of 1924 must part. We all must start our journey on life’s way and we well know our paths will lead in different directions. We have at last come to the fork in the road. The way to each of us is more or less unknown, but thanks to the training we have received, we feel confident that we shall walk aright. “May knowledge increase,” has been our motto here and may the knowledge that we have acquired in dear old Sumner, prove a firm foundation for the ladder of fame on which we all aspire to climb. We realize our obli- gations to all, to superintendent and teachers, for your tireless and un- failing efforts in our behalf, to the committee for your kindness and thoughtful oversight, and lastly to you, our parents, for your patience and generosity, which has enabled us to arrive at last at our goal. To you, undergraduates, we turn over the duty of upholding and advancing the standard of our school. May it never fall, but rather, in the years to come, prove a greater and greater honor to our town. And now farewell — that word that bids us pause — that word so sad that rouses happy memories — that word we dread to say, yet must be said — Farewell. DOROTHY HAYDEN, Valedictorian. Class Ode {Sung to the tune of ' ' Lovers Old Sweet Song ) School days are fading far beyond recall. School days whose memories remain with one and all. Brightly before us spread the paths of life, Enter we now upon the world of strife. New roads appear that bring to us our fame And lead us to the goal which is our aim. Chorus : Goodbye dear old Sumner, Goodbye to you. May we all remember To whom success is due. Eager steps now falter At your closing door. Classmates tear’s and laughter Are heard no more Are heard no more. Teachers and friends we bid you fond adieu. Words cannot express our grateful- ness to you. Through storm and calm you help- ed us on our way Making our darkness turn to bright- est day, And to the end we’ll keep our motto nigh With your kind helping start dear Sumner High. THELMA M.

THE ECHO 15 F I, xcnan We have received many good school papers which have showed great effort, thought and interest on the part of the students of the differ- ent high schools. The issuing of school papers has become a very active part of outside activities. The exchanging of these papers brings the different high schools into closer connection. We have received exchanges from the following schools. The Unquity Echo, Milton: You had fine school paper. Your headings were fine and you had a fine showing in almost every department. The Hermiad, Hingham : The cover design was very attractive and your paper contained everything essential. The Partridge, Duxbury : The headings were fine. The Periscope, Bridgewater: You had a very large showing in all your departments. The Chimes, Scituate: The cover design corresponded well with the name and was attractive. The Item, Dorchester: The paper showed much thought and interest on the part of the students as it was well filled out in all departments.

I In Summer Time Oh, Summer, joyful Summer The best time of the year. When everyone is happy And all are full of cheer. The insects of the fields Are singing merrily. As they go about their duty, To feed their family. Because they are aware That Summer is not long. The birds that fly in air Sing out their joyful song. The animals that live near us Are seen on every hand. Flying under the trees. Listening to the breeze. The people seem contented, As day by day goes by. Until the months of winter. With cold come drawing nigh. WINFRED TAYLOR, ‘24. 16 T II E K G H O Detour The moon shone brightly overhead, the sky was studded with stars, while two figures, clothed in heavy motorists’ cloaks, for a heavy dew was falling, made their way to a secluded spot on the bluff where un- observed, they could w atch the high- way that wound in and out around the irregular shore. Two small boys, out in a row boat in search of adventure, heard the murmur of their voices floating out over the water. News had come to this tiny fron- tier village of the “bobbed haired bandit,” so naturally among the younger fry was the sense of pre- vailing danger, and possible adven- ture, in the nooks and crags of their rock bound coast. Stealthily manning their craft, they steered for one of the small in- lets overhung by trees and vines, that adventurous boys alone can And. Once here, they stopped, made fast their boat an d crept up the opposite side of the bluff. Upon reaching the top, the taller of the two nudged his companion, resulting in that person’s turning around and returning the compliment. A good whole hearted fist fight might have been the result, had not the wind shifted and brought the sound of voices once more to their ears. Friendship was once more restor- ed, and the two conspirators once more settled down to business. Ly- ing down, they wriggled snake-like toward the spot of their prey. When within two yards of the spot, they cried out simultaneously, for there, silhouetted against the back ground of rocks, resting on a man’s shoulder, was a bobbed head! Scarcely able to breathe with the excitement of it all, the boys lay face downward on the turf trying to still the wild beating of their hearts. The couple spoke in monosyllables, but enough for the boys to glean enough information to arouse their curiosity to a still greater extent. “They” would be coming soon. Who are “they?” The “sign” would stop them and “they” would get out, then we’d stop “them.” What sign, and again, who are “they”? Vir ue is always rewarded, and was in this case, for what is more virtuous in a boy than to keep per- fectly quiet for exactly three quar- ters of an hour, and what’s more, do ' ng it voluntarily. But as before stated they were re- warded. The “honk” of a car was heard coming through the village. The man and his companion rose, stretched their limbs, not at all ban- dit Lke and made their way toward the road. Unable to bear the sus- pense any longer the boys followed at a safe distance. Once in sight of the road, they learned what the “sign” for there over a pile of debris was a sign statmg that motorists must detour owing to a washout ahead. Hardly had they gotten over their amazement at this, for there was no washout, they heard the throb of a high powered engine as it neared them. Then, as the head lights were cast on the detour sign, the motor died down, the machine came to a stop, and a man jumped down with an ejaculation of disgust, followed by a small cry of dismay from within, accompanied by a giggle. Before anything more could be said or done, the air was thick with confetti, and two small boys were seen running toward their respective homes to ponder over the mysteries of fashionable weddings, while the bride and groom continued on their wedding journey wondering how their well guarded secret of escape had leaked out. LILLIAN LAKEWITZ, ’26. Most Exciting Adventure It was one evening, not very late, that I sat at the library table pre- paring my next day’s history lesson. Before me lay an open book, I was conscious of it but that was all, I was so tired that my eyes fairly closed after each word. I was reading about automobiles, the invention of the THE ECHO 17 first one, I believe. But what did I care about the first car when at every corner in prosperous cities or ob- scure places one would dodge from one now. My mind was racing around the track in some unthought of speedster at that time. I confess that I would have been deeply interested in automobiles, had I at that moment been out motoring, but to be sitting with half closed eyes, and a mind miles away, reading of events of years before, brought me to the limit of endurance, “Mon Dieu” ! I exclaimed, as I stretched my arms, “what wouldn’t I give for a ride now to wake me up !” How it came about I do not know but it was not long before my wish was granted. A red roadster had parked outside the gate. In a mo- m.ent I had forgotten everything. My incorrigable eyes ceased to blink, and we were speeding merrily on our way. As I think of it now I do not even remember who my companions were. We came to a very high level of a h‘11. At our left was a deep decline. I look over the precipice, and a feel- ing of awe crept over me spontane- ously. It might have been only my imagination, but the road at this point seemed very narrow and the fence at the side looked much too weak to hold anything back. Perhaps this was exaggerated in my mind, even the precipice probably wasn’t as deep as I pictured it. I did not have many more moments for re- flections, however, for suddenly we heard a noise — something broke. It was the steering gear, then sudden- ly the car swung to the left. A plung down the precipice was inevit- able. How or where we landed I do not know. My first gleam of con- sciousness showed me that I was sit- ting on the carpeted floor with a history book on one side of me, the chair on the other, and my hand tightly grasping a leg of the “preci- pice” (really not so deep as I pictur- ed it.) I took a deep free breath, but the prespiration streamed from my forehead after my most exciting adventure. THELMA PETERSON, ’25. William Dean Gees Camping A little yellow cat sat on the door- step with his tail drooping and his ears lowered dejectedly. Poor Wil- liam Dean had overheard a conversa- tion, accidentally of course, between his mistress, Katherine Hayes, and Narcissus, the cook. William did not understand what was going on; his dear mistress would not even hold him in her lap, but just gave his ear a loving tweak as she passed in and out the door. William was justified in feeling sad because his mistress was going away to leave him. She, with six other members of the Girl’s Club, was go- ing on an overnight camping expedi- tion. Miss Hayes, their chaperons, had made the plans and had chosen the camping spot with much inward trepidation. Promptly at nine o’clock Miss Hayes and the six girls arrived at Katherine’s house, which happen- ed to be centrally located. Judging by the amount of supplies one might think they were going to spend two- weeks. As Katherine was about to bid farewell to her mother her eyes fell upon William Dean following them down the walk. After shower- ing him with endearments and dain- ties from the picnic lunch, a tall girl cried, “Oh, Kathy, why can’t we take William Dean with us?” A chorus broke forth from the re- maining five: “Oh, let’s take him.” The yellow cat was soon settled com- fortably in the tall girl’s arms. A half hour of riding in the trolley brought them to their destination. William Dean was somewhat alarmed when he boarded the car, but remem- bering the rides he had taken in his mistress’ automobile, he was soon able to assume a bored expression, much to the amusement of the pas- sengers. The campers alighted from the car near a farmhouse, where the key to the camp was obtained from the farmer. Several cats of assorted 18 THE E G H C) colors and varieties playing about the yard, cordially invited William to join them; but, feeling the dignity of his position, he thanked them politely and refused. After a general survey of the camp was made, the group sat down to a hearty supper. After washing the dishes they sat around the fireplace and sang songs. William Dean felt sure that his own voice was superior to theirs, but no one asked him to render a selection. The girls retired and were much annoyed because Miss Hayes insisted on leaving the door open. Soon all were fast asleep. William Dean was comfortably set- tled at the foot of his mistress’ bed which was contrary to all ho me rules. The forest itself seemed to be sleep- ing, but the forest never sleeps. Bright eyes shine in the thickets where the moonbeams penetrate, and padded footfalls sound in the shad- ows, as the hours of darkness are the playtime and hunger time for many dwellers in the deep woods. Crunch ! Scratch ! Crunch ! One of the girls sat upright and clutched the girl nearest her. The noise kept steadily on. With squeaks of terror the girls aroused their friends who listened with fast beating hearts. Out there in the darkness something was moving about. Even Miss Hayes did not know what strange creature had come to visit the camp. The sound came steadily nearer. Thump ! Thump! It seemed unbelievable but something ponderous was actually coming up the step of the cabin. A shadowy form appeared in the door- way with two gleaming eyes. No one dared to move save the only four legged creature in the camp. In a moment he was after the creature and was chasing him for into the woods. Occasionally a yelp could be heard from the invader. The next morning when the girls reached home they were very excited over their adventure of the night be- fore. They told their friends that they thought it must have been a bear. After a consultation with a neighbor familiar with the surroundings of the camp it was learned that it was only a wandering hedgehog and wouldn’t hurt a fiea. But the girls petted William Dean and still be- lieved him to be the preserver of their lives. PHILENA McKAY, ’24. Atoms and Atavisms Chapter I. The long, lean, supple hands, with only two stained and scarred thumbs, uncovered by the protecting rubber, nioved critically over the row of pre- cisely arranged instruments; linger- ed over one, fingered it carefully, picked up a minute crystal with it and inserted it into the amber color- ed liquid which stood simmering and bubbling under the fierce, penetrat- ing rays of a white scintillating tube. Somewhere a button clicked. A violet light added its glare to that of the white tube. Grotesque, awful shadows danced over the endless rows of flasks and retorts arranged on the opposite wall. For a moment the room was silent ' ‘My gosh!” yelled Avery to the medical appearing man pacing by his side. What in hang was that ! It sounded as if a Big Bertha had drop- ped a shell around here. Just like old times ! Say, there’s a crowd down the street now. Let’s go!” A fire siren screamed its approach and people scattered right and left. Avery and his companion pushed in its wake to where a little group knelt before the crumpled smoking walls of massive stone mansion. A still figure lay on the spattered grass. I am a physician,” announced Dr. Drayton. If I can be of any help — ” Sorry,” softly answered one of the kneeling group supporting the prostrate form. I guess Professor Dare is dead. Something must have gone wrong with his experiments. I told him — ” Dr. Drayton took one limp hand in his own and felt gently of the wrist. A look of astonishment came into his face. He examined more THE ECHO 19 carefully the blood-smeared face and clotted hair of the Professor. A growl burst from the lips of the dead man. With raving lips and foaming mouth he leaped frantically to his feet. A frenzied shriek escap- ed his slavering jaws. Before any- one could stop him, he sprang like a wild beast at the encircling specta- tors. A man went down before his clawing nails. Trampling over a fallen women, he fought his mad- dened way thru the fleeing, frighten- ed crowd and giving one last tri- umphant cry he plunged into the neighboring wood. Chapter II. The very walls of the dingy, red alley seemed to- radiate heat. The acrid mixture of smoke, dust and automobile exhaust which the habit- ants of the fetid, stiffling, tenements lining the street breathed in lieu of air, left them gasping in agony like fishes stranded by the tide. Before the most rickety building lay a de- composing cat, overhung by a noisy cloud of repellant, black flies, who now and then buzzingly alighted on some trampled ash-heap to sun them- selves in the scanty rays which re- luctantly penetrated the narrow opening left by the leaning roofs. Presently, as dusk abated the pul- sating heat waves, doors opened in shadowy doorways and slowly dis- gorged their evening quota of dis- solute youths, who sauntered care- lessly toward the more populated thoroughfares on their nightly busi- ness. The door before which lay the efferescent feline, swung cautiously on squeaky hinges and a grotesque caricature of a man shambled out. A sticky, reddish, beard only made his high forehead maliginant by con- contrast. Wisps of brown hair, tinged with silver, straggled from under the brim of a tattered derby. His piercing eyes shot here and there with suspicious glances. With every passer-by he clutched more fiercely the newspaper-wrapped parcel he carried under one arm. He did not walk upright. Rather he slunk along the wall, half crouching, like a cat ready to spring upon his prey. In fact, with all of his intelli- gent face which his frowsy beard could not wholly disguise, he ap- peared with his leonine head, like a lion, degraded, emaciated, a pariah parading will tame tabbies, yet retaining some faint vestiges of king- ly qualities. The man avoided the frequented streets. He detoured the ghastly light of the sputtering arcs. Thru devious interlacing alleys he finally arrived at what was evidently his destination, a courtyard, to which he admitted himself thru a narrow, iron-bound door, which wafted a composite odor of cooking, sawdust, and tobacco before he disappeared. Chapter HI. Samuel Fitch, adventurer and wanderer extraordinary, sighed heav- ily as he finished the last soggy course of the gaudy Bohemian res- taurant. Bronzed, stern, his eyes burning with a steady, green magnet- ism, accentuated by the tiny sea wrinkles creasing their corners, he was a man to wonder at, this viking farer of the 20th century. He now pushed aside his chair, the better to gloomily survey the hetergeneous scattering of people dining noisily at neighboring tables, but he seemed preoccupied. His thought were cer- tainly elsewhere. ' ‘Wonder if old Dare is still clut- tering up that smelly lab,” he solilo- quized. “Might look him up if wasn’t for — well just the same it was hard to come back home to find the old gang gone — died or married; any- way, he was left out.” Suddenly he jerked to attention. Those eyes were familiar, strangely familiar. He surely knew their owner. They were like John’s eyes, John Dare, his brilliant chemist friend, who had married long ago, before he, Samuel, had begun his wanderings, the girl both loved. But it wasn’t Dare’s face. He had always been clean-shaven. This man’s jowls were covered by a red beard.

Amusedly he made a quixotic decision to follow the man. Another adventure for Samuel! He had had many of them in many lands. The man, who carried some sort of bundle under one arm, wasted no time, but steered a straight course towards the cuisine where a waiter, evidently known to him, quickly ad- mitted him. Samuel quickened his pace and put his shoulders thru the door before it could be closed. “A friend of mine just came in here,” he explained glibly. “Fve got to see him on an important matter.” He gazed persuadingly into the hostile eyes of the hairy ruffian who confronted him. Even as he did so he was wondering at such a waiter. He looked more like an Apache of Paris. “Beat it,” he growled with a rasp- ing voice, “That stuff don’t go here.” Samuel smiled. His eyes had flickering lights in their green depths as he stared into the hard ones op- posite him. The waiter passed a dazed hand before his eyes. The next moment he lay on the floor, crump- led into an awkward heap. Samuel, nursing a bruised knuckle, passed down the narrow stair that his late victim had not had time to close. Chapter IV. “My dear sir,” soothed the voice sauvely, “I assure you that all you require shall be accomplished. My reluctance, you understand is only to make certain of the safety of myself and my wife. You see I know how you treated others who have finished your work, my impatient friend.” “D you. Dare, what do you mean!” This voice had a gutteral accent in spite of its cultured tone which contrasted with the incorgu- ous language. “You hand over your stuff — within two hours — or we’ll make you. You know what that means !” The place was silent after that. The gloom was pierced by a crack of light which widened as the heavy door opened. In the dark, dripping. stone-paved passage, a figure crouch- ed breathlessly against the wall as a dim, tall, ominous shape strode past. With a sigh of relief Samuel Fitch opened the door and entered the glar- ing light of the charnffier. Samuel let his eyes stray about the vaulted chamber. It was like some place he had seen before, like — yes even the smell was like Dare’s old laboratory. There was the jumble of retorts and stands on the long marble bench, the same rows of flasks, the same oddly shaped tubes. There was a slight sound behind him. “You !” he gasped with dilated eyes staring in amazement at the woman facing him. “Alice!” he bounded to her side and raised both hands in his. A mocking laugh shocked him to a realization of his predicament and following the mute gaze of her whom he called Alice, he looked into the short barrel of an automatic and the cynical, beared face of John Dare. The woman left the chamber. “Well?” queried Samuel. “Sit down,” said Dare. “I didn’t expect you quite so soon, but it’s providential you know. We’ve got quite a lot to talk over, haven’t we?” “Pop,” was Samuel’s short reply. “Get down to business. What are you going to do with me? Why are you here? Are you crazy? You — ” “Quite the old Sam, aren’t you? Well, well, you have a lot to learn. Tie him Dan!” Two hands grasped Fitch by the neck. In spite of his struggles, in spite of his bewitching eyes he was helpless. The last thing he heard was the tantalizing tone of Dare, “Oh no Sam, you can’t hypnotize a scien- tist you know.” It seemed eternities, but was really minutes, when soft hands frantically rubbed his own and Samuel looked into the face of the woman he loved, yet in spite of the ten years he had striven to forget. “Alice,” he murmured huskily, “What is this anyway? Is he in- sane?” Alice nodded a bit wearily. “He told me to come in here. I’m THE ECHO 23 used to it now. He was hurt when his laboratory exploded. He’s differ- ent. Cruel sometimes. Gentle after- wards. He took me here after he secretly returned. I-I’ve been here nine years. Oh it’s awful! awful! what they intend to do now!” sob- bing, she worked at his bonds. “What do they intend?” asked Samuel gently. “Tell me. Perhaps I can help.” She shook her head. “No one can help. There is some awful organization that aims at the safety of the world. They have agents everywhere. Then there is stored in the rooms about here a mil- lion tiny bombs, any one of which could destroy the biggest building in New York. ' He invented them. They use some new force — something about atoms. He has a devilish genius and yet — yet he once in a while is like he was — before. The others are beasts. He’s going to give them the bombs today — tonight. He’ll kill us !” “Where is this place?” “Under the harbor. We can’t get out! I don’t know the way! It’s funny though — he said when I came here, ‘The door is open!’ What did he mean?” Samuel rubbed his numb limbs, and staggered to his feet. “Soon see,” he said softly. “Come on.” Supporting her on his arm, he ap- proached the door. He turned the knob. The door opened. They eyed each other strangely. Samuel spoke, “He meant for us to go. He wants me to take you away. He had another moment of sanity. We—” The door closed on them. A man entered the laboratory. He smiled strangely. He was another Dare! The old Dare, in the old col- lege garb as if he were once more about to teach his classes. The frowsy beard was gone. He placed a parcel on the marble slab and open- ed it, took forth the tube it contain- ed and arranged it in a shield. For an hour he busied himself. A voice at the heavy door de- manded admittance. Repeated de- mands followed. After a while a murmur of, it seemed thousands of voices, arose. Blows battered on the door. The professor smiled happily. He donned a heavy apron. The long, lean, supple hands, with only two stained and scarred thumbs uncovered by the protecting rubber, moved critically over the row of pre- cisely arranged instruments ; linger- ed over one, fingered it and inserted it into the amber colored liouid which stood simmering and bubbling under the penetrating rays of a white, scintillating tube. Somewhere a button clicked. A violet light added its glare to that of the white tube. Grotesque, awful shadows danced over the endless rows of flasks and retorts arranged on the opposite wall. For a moment the room was silent Only two people in all the world could explain the awful phenomena which destroyed the harbor of New York and half the city as well. They were too sad and yet happy to reveal the tragedy and danger the world had escaped and too full of respect for the memory of the one who saved them and many others at the cost of his own life. Greater love hath no man than this; that he lay down his life for his friend. E. A. J., ’24. The Spring This isn’t the time to be cloudy and sad. In the spring, the morn of the year. When nature and flowers all seem glad And gladness breathes forth from the air. There are notes of peace in the Rob- in’s song. Of joy in the grey squirrel’s chirp, And the bright summer sunshine for which we long. Will dry the dark clouds and ap- pear. 24 THE ECHO The tiny green leaves on each shady tree, Dance to the tune of the stream As it leaps and runs into the sea, And laughs as it bubbles away. And see how the broad-faced sun warmly smiles. On the flowers and buds that are opening. And on glistening waters on tiny isles. He shines and drives gloom away. The wind has driven the snow away. And no more the fost will visit. Yes, this is the time to be merry and gay. In the springtime, the morn of the year. THELMA PETERSON, ’25.

The schedule included 13 games, 6 of which have been played at the time “The Echo” goes to press. The schedule follows: April 24 — Stoughton at Stoughton. April 29 — Avon at Holbrook. May 2 — Scituate at Scituate. May 6 — Avon at Holbrook. May 13 — W. Bridgewater at W. Bridgewater. May 27 — Thayer at Thayer. June 3 — Stoughton at Holbrook. June 5 — B. H. S. at Brockton. June 6 — Cohasset at Cohasset. June 9 — W. Bridgewater at Hol- brook. June 10 — Scituate at Holbrook. June 13 — Cohasset at Holbrook. Randolph has been dropped from Holbrook’s playing list owing to dif- ficulties encountered during last sea- son.

The diamond was soggy after recent rains which made snappy playing difficult; in fact, Roy Johnson made quite a splurge when he plunged into a miniature pond in center field during his eager pursuit of the elusive sphere. Ralph Hill, who pitched the game, did not hit his stride until the next game and allowed seven men to pass. It is pos- sible that except for several flagrant errors in fielding Sumner would have won. The only hits were single. STOUGHTON VS. HOLBROOK AVON VS.

AVON Holbrook met and defeated Avon HOLBROOK AT SCITUATE The third game of the season was won by Holbrook when it met and de- feated Scituate to the tune of 27 to 5. It was a losely played game by both sides, especially Scituate. Scituate had a very poor team and their twirlers were hit terribly by Holbrook men. Hill pitched a good game but received little support, Holbrook making 8 errors. There was one home run by Hadfield and 3 three-baggers. Holbrook made 27 safe hits and Scituate 12. The Hol- brook team is coming along well with the sticks. We can count on the next Scituate game as won unless they improve very much. at a close game, the score 9-5. Avon shewed up well at the first of the game. Hammond started in the box for Holbrook. Holbrook could not seem to go smooth with him in the box. He was yanked and R. Hill put in. Then the team settled down to its regular stride. Wonderful effect those Hill brothers have on the team. Holbrook hit the deliveries of the Avon pitcher for 14 safe hits. E. Hill was the heavy man with the stic k for Holbrook. Osgood for Avon. Avon played good in the field, only making two errors, but at the stick they were weak, only getting 5 hits. Holbrook came along strong. This makes the last game with Avon as Holbrook has won both games. 28 TJIK K G TT O Avon Name Littlefield, ss AB 4 BH 0 PO 3 A 3 E 1 W. Osgood, 2b 4 0 2 2 0 I.

HOL- BROOK Howard High beat Sumner by a narrow margin. The score was 6-5. The condition of the diamond was very poor and interfered considerable with the playing of the Holbrook boys, the pitcher’s box being some inches below level. Sumner played in rather bad luck, two of her play- ers, Hadfield and Hayden, being in- jured in former games, which neces- sitated a change in position, result- ing in throwing its team out of gear. Even so victory was in sight for Sum- ner when E. Hill was hit by a pitched ball and incapacitated for further playing and two errors made by him while in a groggy condition allowed two runs to come in. For a while Holbrook was on its feet in the 5th. when with three on Hiltz lined a fast one past third and only Dwyer delay- ing his dash for home prevented a winning score.

Hill was in fine form, striking out 12 and passing 1. Hadfield resumed his po- sition as catcher, his finger having healed up. The feature of the game was Hadfield’s home run, a beautiful line drive. Keep it up “Bunny” and you will make the A. A. Thayer put up a fight all through the game. The Holbrook team worked well on the field, making only two errors, the best so far this year. The game showed up Holbrook as a hard hit- ting team, getting 14 hits to Thayer’s 4. 29 THE ECHO Name Thayer AB BH PO A E Allison, 2b 4 1 4 0 0 Roberts, 3b 4 0 5 0 0 Palmer, c 4 1 1 0 0 King, p 3 0 1 1 0 Frick, ss 3 0 0 0 0 Blom, rf 3 0 0 0 0 Coveil, cf 3 1 1 0 3 Lane, If 3 1 7 0 1 Howard, lb 3 0 0 0 1 Totals 30 4 21 1 5 Name Holbrook AB BH PO A E Paine, lb 5 3 3 0 1 Hammond, If 4 2 2 0 0 E.

It is probable that the batting averages wdll be maintained in relatively the same position. Dwyer, however, may rise to second or third place, as he has an uncanny knack of hitting dif- ficult pitchers, although he does no spectacular batting. E. Hill . Hadfield . R. Hill . . Dwyer . .

However, it is probable that Holbrook will defeat Avon if we are to judge from the last meet. All the Holbrook stars stand ready to equal or better their previous records. Long, Kearns, Hammond, and Hill are the most prominent men. In the high jump Long and Kearns stand first with a practice record of about 4 feet 6-7 inches. Long stands to take Holbrook’s entrance in the broad jump. He has hopped 17 feet. Pole vault also goes to Long at around 8 feet 9 inches. Hammond is premier man in the shot put with 35 feet his longest throw. Hill and Long stand out in the discus at 80 feet. Practically all the dashes either go to Kearns or Long with Hill a close second. Hayward, Nylands, Briel, and Hiltz, are the expected en- trants for the Freshman relay and Kearns, Long, Hill for the first three positions on the school relay, a new event, the fourth place being con- tested between Roberts, West and Hammond. Up to May 29 the team had an average of .666 on the games, an average incomparably higher than recent years and only equalled by Chet Beals and his team — if we can keep it up. As for the remaining games, we are practically certain of the coming Scituate games and have a very favorable chance with the re- maining. The Cohasset game will conclude one of the most successful seasons Sumner has ever played. Physical Culture Class On our return to school after the Christmas vacation, a physical cul- ture class was organized by Mr. Neal, our athletic instructor. Twenty minutes a day were devoted to this exercise. There was much grumbling at first, because the girls developed lame backs, arms, and legs ; after two or three weeks this feeling wore away and they began to see the sunny side of these exercises. They realized that these exercises were for their own good. Mr. Neal had ten assistants, Paul Long, Ed. Hill, W. 30 r H i : K c I I o Roberts, John Greenhatch, W. Tay- lor, R. Hill, Alice Gallans, Emily Lewis, Marjorie Porter, Blanche Had- field, and Ruth Boardman. P. S. — Oh boy! how Alice would practice these exercises in Mr. Neal’s room afternoons. She was often heard saying,” Now, Mr. Neal, is this right? Do I execute the de- mands quickly enough?” But she certainly did do her stunts when she was in charge of the class. A. DANA, Society Editor. P. P. S. — Seeing that this came within the scope of the Athletic Editor I crabbed it for my columns. Dana may call those d-andy exercises a social event but the most of us called them something else. How about it, Dana? E. A. J., ’24, Athletic Director. “Play Ball” Glue was at the bat. Small pox was catching. Cigar was in the box, Strawberry was short, and Corn was in the field. Cabbage was manager because he had a big head. Cigar let Board walk, and Lemon made a homer by a tight squeeze. Long made a hit and Sawdust filled the bases. Then Soap cleaned up. Cigar v ent out and Balloon started to pitch but he went up in the air. Ice went to pitch and kept cool until he was hit, then you should hear the Ice Cream. Lightning finished the game by striking out 6 men. Grass cov- ered lots of ground in the field and the crowd cheered when Spider caught a fly. Steak was out at the plate and Clock wound up the game by striking out 3 times. Lunatic was put out because he was off his base. Bread loafed on third base and was put out and Knife was called out for cutting second base. Bird flew out. If Door had pitched he would have shut them out. G. 0. We will now sing the old song: We feed the baby garlic so we can find him in the dark. Press item — Mr. Blanks trousers. The morals of baseball seem rath- er dubious to me. What do you mean? They seem to think just as much of the man who steals a base as they do of the man who earns a run. Herman: “Have you read Payne’s Autobiography ?” Dana: “Why, I believe not!
