20 THE ECHO BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Top Row: William Stodder, Stanley White, Allan MacKinlay. Harold Walsh Second Row: William Dana, John Sullivan, Wallace Hancock, Emory Mann. Myron Holbrook Sumner 15 — Nor well 30 This game played at Norwell showed de- cidedly the results of playing in an un- familiar gymnasium. The Norwell floor is the smallest court we are obliged to play in. After playing and practising on our fairly good sized floor, it seemed that we were hardly able to breathe at Norwell. The Norwell team, naturally used to their own floor, tossed the ball in without hardly moving. Because of the small floor a great deal of shooting was done on both sides. Many S. H. S. shots missed that were ex- citingly close. Dana and Batchelder were high scorers for S. H. S., Cavanaugh for Norwell. Sumner 7 — Randolph 26 The last game of the scheduled encount- ers was played on Randolph’s home floor. This gym like Norwell’s is rather small after our large one. Randolph had several fast players who seemed to be everywhere at once. Near the end of the game several S. H. S. sophomores and freshmen were put in the game. They showed up rather well under fire and hinted that next sea- son Sumner would have a winning com- bination. The game ended with the score standing Sumner 7, Randolph 26. Han- cock was high scorer for S. H. S., Cushing for Randolph. Sumner 12 — Boston School for Deaf 26 A post-season game not on the schedule was that played with the Boston School for the Deaf of Randolph. This game was played on our home floor before a fairly good crowd. Malinski of the Randolph School was the star of the game. There seemed to be no place on the floor from which he could not drop the ball into the basket. Final score, Sumner 12, Boston School for the Deaf 26. Batchelder was high scorer for S. H. S., Malinski for Bos- ton School for Deaf. J. Allan MacKinlay, ’30. Athletic Editor. Sumner 9 — Sharon 18 At Sharon we visited the best gym in our circuit of games. Because of Sharon’s lack of Hagan, their star guard, S. H. S. was able to end the game with a less op- posing score than that of the game played on their home floor. The lack of Hagan showed he was Sharon’s backbone. At this game it seemed impossible to get our team to clock properly although the fast guard- ing of Hancock prevented Sharon’s score from becoming large. The size of the gym may have been some handicap as it was bigger than ours, and all others on our circuit are smaller. Final score, Sumner 9, Sharon 18. Batchelder high scorer for S. H. S., Roach for Sharon. Mother: “Who taught you that wicked word ? ” Allan: “Santa Claus.” Mother: “Santa Claus?” Allan: “Yep, when he tripped over my bed Christmas morning.” Traffic Cop: (angrily) “Do you know any- thing about traffic rules?” Miss Collins: (sweetly) “What is it you wish to know?” Penny: “You’re going to drive me out of my mind!” Allan: “That’s no drive! That’s a putt!” Miss Murphy: (to the orchestra) “We will now play ‘The Stars and Stripes Forever’.” W. Hutchinson. “Good night! I just got through playing that!” First Freshman: “I wonder why Verna Thomas is so good-natured?” Second Ditto: “Probably because it takes ro long for her to get mad clear tl rough.”

22 THE ECHO THAT DEBT You knew you owed it, and you just couldn’t remember to pay it. You had at various times the necessary money to pay the debt, but there was something else that you had seen and, of course, wanted. So you let the other debt wait and bought what you had just seen. Or perhaps you hadn’t the money and had forgotten the money and had forgotten to ask for it. Then someone reminded you of that debt, and you felt a queer pang in the vicinity of your stomach, and then began worrying. You soon stopped, however, when something else came along. Then again when you were thinking about something or perhaps nothing in particular, That Debt suddenly came to mind. You did forget it again, but if you have to kick your- self every time you forget it, remember to pay your Class Dues. When you have, you will be sure not to get gray hair from worry, and you’ll know that it is helping others besides yourself. Don’t forget. Remember your Class Dues will count later on. Ruth Bettencourt, ’33. OUR MOVING PICTURES The motion picture machine which our school owns has been used many times this year for educational and entertaining pur poses. The school has seen during this year one movie every two weeks. These pictures were put on every other Wednesday in the assembly hall of the school. The cost of admission was five cents, and, in this way, the school was able to hire bigger and bet- ter pictures. The pictures presented at these times were mostly educational with a comic strip once in a while. Some of the pictures presented were the Romance of Rubber, The Volcano, Paper, Insects, Views of Yosemite Park, Coal, Iron, Salt, and a Mack Sennett Comedy. Three moving pictures have been put on for the purpose of raising funds for differ- ent departments of the school. The first one was put on by the “Echo”. It was rather an experiment to find out how the people would support such an entertainment. When this movie proved to be a success, two more were put on at different intervals for the benefit of the Athletic Department. The latest pic- ture to be put on this year was presented on May 22 under the supervision of the Senior Class in French, and Miss Bartlett, head of the French and Latin departments. The proceeds of this picture were added to the Students’ Association Fund. Wallace Hancock, Allan MacKinlay, Ruth Dyer, and Penelope Hutchinson, under the supervision of Mr. Neal, were the operators of the machines during the entire year. Everett Hayden, ’31. FINANCIAL NEWS The school paper, the “Echo” is issued twice a year, the first issue in December and the second issue in June. There are between thirty six to forty four pages, each page costing three dollars and twenty c.nts to print. The cuts which are put in the paper, cost from four to eight dollars each. The Echo surely needs its advertisers to help support the paper. The advertisers, about sixty or seventy, for a full page pay ten dollars; for half page, five dollars; one quarter of page two dollars and a half; one fifth of a page two dollars, and one tenth of a page one dol- lar. This amounts to about one hundred and fifty dollars. The Echo if it depended upon its sub- scribers would not be able to pay for it- self, for the cost of printing the paper amounts to one hundred and twenty five to one hundred and fifty dollars. The Echo staff not only appreciates its advertisers, but also its subscribers, and takes this opportunity of thanking both in helping to make both issues financially suc- cessful.
