20 THE ECHO League This year has been started a Five Town League : Mr. Neal, Presi- dent; Mr. MacLoud, Secretary and Treasurer. This League is to en- courage and promote sports of all kinds. Each school is going in for Baseball, Football, Basketball, and Track. Sumner High played its first game at Holbrook, May 1, defeating Thayer Academy Seconds, 21-4, E. Hill was the hardest batter receiv- ing five hits out of six times at the bat. Hadfield pitched a good game for Sumner and the game was well supported. The second game of the season, Scituate against Holbrook, was played at Holbrook, May 5, being a victory for Sumner 9-3. R. Hill pitched, struck out eight, and al- lowed the opposing team to get but two hits. PHYSICAL EXERCISES As the State of Massachusetts requires a certain amount of physi- cal exercises by the students and as we have no gymnasium we are forced to use our main room for this purpose, which makes us labor un- der difficulties. Mr. Neal, with his helpers, Edgar Hill, W. Roberts, Marjorie Porter, and Ethel Mayers are in charge. Some feel they could get along verv well without this form of upbuilding, known as set- ting up exercises, but then, as is of- ten the case, they are not consulted. Baseball The baseball team this fall was a success. We were able to get but two games both with West Bridge- water and we were the victors. The first game was played at Hol- brook, with Hadfield pitching and having fine support. E. Hill and Hadfield were the heavy hitters for Holbrook and Hennessey for West Bridgewater. At the second game on the new West Bridgewater diamond, Ralph Hill pitched and showed great form in the box. Hill pitched a no hit, no run game up to the first of the eighth in ning. E. Hill was by far the heaviest hitter making a three base hit with two twos, and two singles. Hadfield and R. Hill were next. We lost two players this year. Hammond and Dwyer, but we hope that we will be as strong as ever. Schedule of Sumner High School. May 1 . Thayer at Holbrook May 5. Scituate at Holbrook May 8. Avon At Holbrook May 15.

THE ECHO 19 Class Colors Nile Green and Silver. Class Motto “May Knowledge Increase ’ Events As has always been the custom the Sophomore class gave the Fresh- man class a Hallowe’en Initiation Party, Friday, October 24, 1924. This was held in the two lower front rooms of the school. The rooms were artistically decorated in black and orange paper. The first part of the evening was given over to initi- ating and games followed by re- freshments. The Girls’ Glee Club held a social in Legion Hall in October. The en- tertainment was of original make up featuring an imitation radio pro- gram. The hall was well filled with pupils and friends. Games were played and a cake walk was another interesting feature of the evening. Refreshments were served and danc- ing was enjoyed until twelve o’clock. Ladies’ Home Journal Campaign This year again the student body, or probably I should say a few of the student body, took part in the selling of the magazine the Ladies’ Home Journal. The proceeds for the sale were to go to the Athletic Association. Two teams were or- ganized, one under the direction of Roy Johnson, the other under that of Thelma Peterson. It was agreed that the losing team should give the winning team a party, and that the one person securing the greatest number of subscriptions was to be given a fountain pen. Gladys Dun- ham was the successful individual, and the group under Thelma Peter- son the winning team. Sad to re- late the contest was no t such a de- cided success as hoped and the num- ber of pupils bringing in subscrip- tions were so few that a party made up of those few would have been a small party of a very select few. ALUMNI NEWS Every year a class leaves the school, and the next year we think of them as alumni. How often do you, members of the Alumni, think of the school you left behind you? Are you still as much interested in what is going on now as when you were the students of Sumner High? We would like to hear from you and your experience might help to teach us the course to follow. Success to those who will next year be included in the Alumni list. Some “Echoes” from the Class of 1923 and 1924. 1923 Marie Breiel, Bridgewater Normal School. Earl Andrews, Collecting Antiques.

Ciconia dixit se libenter venturum esse. Postero die duodecima hora ci- conia ad prandium venit. Suave prandiun expectavit. Vulpes id in avabus planis bracteis extulit. Nec- essario ciconia suo longo rostro non edi poterat ex plava bractea. Do- mum sine prandium sibi revertendus fuit. Paucis diebus ciconia vulpem ad prandium invitavit. Vulpes invita- tum accepit quod amavit invitari ad prandium. Ubi vulpes ciconiam vidit, prandium exlulit. Erat iratis- sima, quod ciconia cumse duas longas collas lagenas contentes suave prandium habuit. Hoc tem- pore vulpes molestissima erat, cum ciconia prandio frueretur. BEATRICE M. ODOM, ’26. Aquilla et Vulper Uno die apuila ab nido avolavit ut infantibus cibum acquireret. Ad terram volavit ut videret quid re- perire poterat. Subito parvam vul- pem vidit. Aquila parvam Vulpem cepit et avolavit. Postea vulpis mater domum venit. Mater dixit se infantem desiderare sed aquilam cumeo domum avolavisse. Turn vulpes ad ignem in agro ivit et bac- ulum incendentem cepit et aquilae domum qui in arbore fuit venit. Aquila scivit vulpem arborem in- censuram esse. Itaque vupli infan- tem reddidit. INGRID ROSENQUIST, ’28.
