THE ECHO 3 DEDICATION This issue of the Echo is affectionately dedicated to the class of 1929. This class, being the first of any to graduate from the new Sumner H igh School, has for four years done its best to build up and support the standards and morals of the Sumner High School. It is with a feeling of re- gret that the undergraduates see this class leave for higher works and aims. YOUR “ECHO” “Why should we subscribe for an ‘Echo’ ?” you hear many pupils query. “We never have anything to say about it — just write something that never gets in, any- way.” That is, of course, a rather nat- ural attitude to take if you have never stopped to consider what you really do do to help the Echo. What is the Echo anyway? Why, what is it but an echo of your school life ? The pictures, jokes, stories, school notes, and, in fact, everything in the paper in an echo of what you have done. If you took the same attitude toward the other activities such as plays, dances, and other parties just because you didn’t get them up, I ' m pretty sure you’d have a very dull time in school. Come to think of it. you pupils who aren’t on the Echo Staff really enjoy the “Echo” more, because you haven’t read it through and through as we have. Of course, we enjoy seeing our work done, but it is different than never having seen it. But, to return to the point, those pupils say they never have anything to do with the “Echo”. How foolish! Why, of course they do. Perhaps they don’t have the work (and fun, too) of reading proofs, soliciting “ads”, and begging subscriptions practic- ally on bended knee, but, indirectly, every- one is connected with the “Echo”. All of the sports enter into it, certainly. All the clubs do, too. And class meetings, no one will deny that. It is the stude nt body as a whole that makes the Echo what it is, not one or two. Team work and co-operation is needed. No Napoleonism. Remember that, you “grumpers”, and change your tune! Dorothy Brown, ’30. CLASS OF ’29 The time draws near when the class of ’29 will have to leave its school and teachers and will follow the footsteps of the preceding classes. What will you do? Where will you go? These are only two of the many questions asked. It is not an easy situation to leave your teacners anu lower class mates ana go out into the cruel business world alone, and to build your own future. It might seem easy at first thought, but as we pause to think deeper into this matter, many aitficult questions and fears arise. Day by day we come nearer to the end, and day by day the fears and sorrows become clearer without deep thought. Classes and classes have passed into the same world and strive to conquer their ambitions. We, the class of ’29, are another one of these classes that will follow in their footsteps. When we entered our freshman year, our hopes ran “sky high”, and we looked eag- erly forward to the day when our ambi- tions would be fulfilled. But our hopes were wrong. As we look back, we see that we knew not of the pain and sorrow of leaving our friends and teachers. What a lot of difference a few years can make. Only three years later and we begin to realize how hard it is to leave our lower class mates and our teachers who have done all in their power to qualify us for the business world requirements. Margaret Mugrdichian, ’29. Brud (to auto salesman): “I’d like to see a good used car.” Salesman: “So would I.”
