THE ECHO Messages A runner, with panting breast, Carrying news of victory, Shouts with his last and dying breath A story making world history. Shouts relayed from afar Rise to a battle cry. The bristling ranks, like an iron bar. The hostile lines defy. A horseman pursued and pressed His noble steed all trembling. Cries out with strength remaining yet The tidings that make a king. Seaward a flickering light. Gleaming on water below And the watch above on the heights Cry out “Here comes the foe!” An aeroplane circling high With enemy plans made clear Cuts meteor-like through the sky Saving a nation from fear. Rushing shapes o’er the sea Through crashes a humming ma- chine While a hand depressed on a key Sends, “Attacked by a submarine.” ELLIS JOHNSON, ’24. Jazz Jazzy songs are all the rage, And jazzy dances, too. Jazzy folks forget their age. With jazzy songs so new. Synphonies are syncopated. The change that’s liked so well. Dances are anticipated. And all that’s jazz does sell. King Jazz has come to stay with us. Even quiet folks agree That he must have his chance to reign. So jazz along with me. And when the music starts to play. They’re all upon their feet. They’re ready for the coming lark, That’s every night in the week. Some folks have made this next re mark, “I’d like to jazz forever,” And when the crowd starts to depart. They jazz along together. ROGER A. ZOEBISCH.

Seniors Have you seen these dear old Seniors up in good old Sumner High ? They’re the funniest little Seniors that ever I did spy; There are big ones, there are small ones, some are tall and some are short, some think that they’re in such strange place, but aren’t sure that they belong. But we like our dear old Seniors, they are wide awake we claim — yes we need their pep and laughter, they will help us rise to fame. The Juniors have quite an honor it seems in having Bunny Hadfield cap- tain of the Baseball team in addition to being their president. Good work — Keep it up. Sumner High School wi shes that you Have a happy vacation ’neath Sunny skies and blue!

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.

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.
