4 THE ECHO Beatrice Sawyer (Bea) Garfield Road Hobby: Reading “Quietness is an art not achieved by many.” What a snappy boy she makes! We have seen a corking snapshot of her thus, and you should have. Beatrice is quite fond of French in her quiet way. Success is our wish to you in whatever you may try. Edith Shipley (Ship) Upland St. Hobby: Must be a secret “Cheerio, to an English lassie.” Activities: Basketball 3; Basketball Manager 4; Senior Play 4. There’s good advice in the quotation “Gentlemen prefer blondes”, Edith. We half-way envy blondes. Edith is such a quiet girl that you might not notice her, but she’s a good friend to have. Her specialty is being a French maid. She is so petite, you know. Marjorie Still (Madge) Howard Ave. Hobby: Motorcycle riding “Gentlemen prefer blondes.” Activities: Athletic Drama 3. Madge is a short cute blonde who just loves to go motorcycle riding — or she used too, anyway. Sometimes she looks very sleepy when she comes in in the morning. We wonder why! Oh, yeh. “Somebody’s Stenog” is her ambition, we hear. Joseph Stonkus (Joe) Spring St., Brookville Hobby: Bus-boy “The fiery charioteer”. Joe’s main business is carrying the elite (?) of Brookville to school in his truck. He is quite serious and quiet, even in our frivolous history class. Evelyn Sullivan (Sullie) Linfield St. Hobby: Miss Gegan’s studio “A woman’s crowning glory is her hair.” Just before the last bell rings each morning, you can see Sullie scoot in. How she times it so exactly is a never-ending source of wonder to the rest of us. But at night she doesn’t always race in — never — remember some of those nights, Sullie? William Sullivan (Sullie) Adams St. Hobby: Imitating Tierney “I am a little shadow.” Miss Collins accuses William of pattern- ing himself after Tierney. Cheer up, the first hundred years are the hardest. You can “sink” the basketball neatly, anyway. As a catcher, you have the handicap of being Pat’s successor, but you “done noble”. Philip Tierney (Jim) South Franklin St. Hobby: Goin’ fishin’ “Procrastination is the thief of time.” Activities: Basketball 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4. Jim is the personification of ambition — nit! He lazes into one class, has a rest, and ambles to the next — and gets by! The funny part is that he can be really intelli- gent if he wants to be — you should see him play first base — if he isn’t one snappy ball- player, we miss our guess. Do we miss our guess ? Verna Thomas (Tubber) South Franklin St. Hobby: “Round, rosy, and jolly is she.” Activities: Track 2, 3; Basketball 3. What a guard Verna made in her Junior year! She might almost be called “Stone- wall”. Verna is plump and jolly with a great love for walking (until she gets a ride). She and her sidekick, Harriet, may be seen thus employed at almost any time of the day. Carlton Waters (Pat) Division St. Hobby: Marion “One must have confidence to win.” Activities: Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Track 1, 2; Echo Staff 3; Class Presi- dent 2, 3; Athletic Play 3; Hockey 4. The town’s best butcher plays a mean game of baseball. It’s a pity that the two interfere. Pat’s quite a shiek. He has only to smile, and they all come flocking. Stanley White (Scout) Union St. Hobby: Heh, heh “A bashful little boy.” ( ? ) Activities: Echo 2; Athletic Drama 3; Class Officer 4. Is he bashful? “Some say yes, some say no”. We say NO! Most emphatically. What curls that lad does have. Sometimes we call him the shiek, for he is fond of looking well. And he slings a mean ankle. Sshh! He has a weakness for blondes from Melrose. Also, he has a weakness for taxis — and yes, we almost forgot — esca- lators. Harriet Wiggins (Blondy) Plymouth St. Hobby: Conversing with Verna “A blonde, with eyes like deep, deep pools.” (Alabama Bound) Harriet is another one of these flirtatious blondes! We seem to have quite a few of them in our class. She is to be seen almost any night down at Verna’s — we wonder what she and Verna find to talk about so lengthily. We shall have to tune in some night.

THE ECHO 3 DEDICATION This issue of the “Echo” is affectionately dedicated to the present senior class of the Sumner High School. It is to the members of the class of 1930 who have successfully worked in behalf of the school that the staff extends every sincere wish for their success in the role of alumni. SENIOR STATISTICS Clifton Baker (Cliff) South Franklin St., Brookville Hobby: Aeroplanes “Faint heart never won fair lady.” Activities: Hockey 4; Baseball 4. Cliff is the boy who had a chance to be in the Senior Play, but hockey proved too strong an attraction, and he just couldn’t come to rehearsals. He is rather a bashful boy, too. We heard that it took him nearly six weeks to screw his courage to the point of asking one certain person to march with him at Reception. Who’d a thunk it? Robert Batchelder (Batchy) South Franklin St., Brookville Hobby: Cedar Hills “Good things come in little packages.” Activities: Baseball 2, 3, 4; Basketball 4; Echo 3; Hockey 4; Athletic Drama 3, 4; Senior Drama 4. He may be small, but — oh my! And what a drag he has with a certain teacher! No names mentioned, of course, but two and two equal six many a time. And an athlete! Yes, yes! Hockey, baseball, basketball — sports, no end! Yes, and no end to his sar- casm, either, some of us can testify. Bob, have you learned the “Bunny Hug” yet? Pauline Blanchard (Polly) 28 Weymouth St. Hobby: Walking fast. “Of manner gentle, of affections mild.” Pauline is quite studious and a rather clever writer. Pauline was the winner of the Prize Essay Contest about the Armis- tice. If you never walked to school with her, you ought to try it — guaranteed to make your legs ache in three minutes. Dorothy Brown (Brownie) 38 Maplewood Ave. Hobby: Freckles “Silence is the best ornament of woman.” Activities: Basketball 3, 4: Track 1, 2, 3; Vice-President of Class 3; Echo 1, 2, 3, 4; Athletic Drama 3, 4; Typewriting Awards. Besides her athletic prowess, Dot’s quite an artist. She designed the cover of the “Echo”, you know. Brownie’s rather speedy — she leads the typing class in speed awar ds. And what is more, she is very pop- ular with Bobby! Shades of Stubby and Sammie Bell! Christina Callahan (Cal) Pleasant St. Hobby: Dark Nights “I will take you home again, Christine.” Activities: Echo 3, 4; Commercial Club President 4. A cute colleen is Christina. She can smile at the right time and be serious at the right time, too, which is some accom- plishment in a class like ours. She is a genius at writing up basketball games she has never seen. How do you do it, Chris? (No slam intended — merely wistful envy.) Alphonse Cartullo (Soupie) South St., Brookville Hobby: Studying “The unknown quantity.” Alphonse has been with us the whole four years in high school, but we never got to know him so very well. He is quiet, and is always one of the first ones to Hand in his bookkeeping sets completed — we know that much, anyway. He is one of those rare creatures who uses a study period as it is intended. We wish you luck, Alphonse. Wallace A. Dana (Nancy) Weymouth St. Hobby: Talking about Dana “Thy middle name is modesty.” Activities: Basketball 3, 4; Baseball 4; Athletic Drama 4. Wallie, where did you get that nick- name? We always called you Wallie, and then we went to the ball games and heard yells of “Hey, Nancy, cop that fly!” or similar elegant expressions. De we detect a gentle sarcasm in the name? Never mind, good luck to you as a bookkeeper. Henry Drummond (Betty) Belcher St. Hobby: Cultivating Roses “Youth calls for pleasure Pleasure calls for love.” Activities: Basketball 4; Track 1, 2. What a line Henry has! We think he would give his own grandmother a line! He merrily goes his way — we wonder if he ever studies, although we do hear unsub- stantiated rumors to the effect that he does, occasionally. Did you ever hear about Henry’s losing his class ring in a dirt pile ? Heheheheheheheheh. Now we’ll tell one.

THE ECHO 5 Ruth Dyer (Rootie) Cedar Hills Road Hobby. ED! “He loves me, he loves me — nit!” (The Arrival of Kitty) Activities: Echo 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; Athletic Drama 3. Ruth is not athletically inclined, but when she gets into the rumble seat of that Essex — oh, oh! We always heard that op- posites attract, but it seems that these blondes are the exception that prove the rule. Rootie is, on the side, a bit of a mu- sician, eh? Thorndike Flye (Flukie) Snell St. Hobby: Horsetrading “Reckless youth makes rueful age.” Activities: Treasurer of League 4; Echo 3, 4; Baseball Manager 4. “Brother” is quite a boy. He loves horses and riding in or on anything. Have you heard of his trip to Pawtucket with Hazel, and about the signpost? Fluke is indus- trious — always trying to turn an honest penny some way. He’s quite popular with the girls, too. Perhaps it’s the horns or the lights on his Essex — only thirteen lights and four different horns. Catherine Gilley (Cath) Plymouth Street Hobby: Moving Pictures “Proud and tall is she, like a cedar.” Activities: Senior Drama 4. Oh, Catherina — don’t be leaner! As Aunt Jane you were a peach. Have you yet learned to faint properly? And has Chick learned how to catch fainting ladies in the approved drawing-room fashion? We won- der. Wallace Hancock (Wally) 281 South Franklin St. Hobby: Apparatus work “Bid me discourse, and I will enchant thine ear.” Activities: Echo 2, 3, 4; President of League 4; Basketball 3, 4; Basketball Cap- tain 4; Athletic Drama 3; Senior Play 4; President of Class 4; Editor of Echo 4. Wally is quite a boy, as his activities show. His ambition is to be a Coast Guard Officer. If he continues as he has done, he probably will succeed. You should see what a lovely girl he makes — especially as “Kitty”, the second, in “The Arrival of Kitty.” Muriel Harris (Sue) Plymouth St. Hobby: Has she one? “A girl there was with quiet ways.” Muriel is Lucy’s sister, but she really isn’t very much like her. Muriel has been with us all four years in high school, a quiet girl who bothers no one. We hear that she would like to be a nurse — wishes, best! Lucy Harris (Lucy) Plymouth St. Hobby: Giggling “A bright and buxom maiden was she.” Lucy is always laughing about some- thing — and usually at the wrong time — ex- cept when that dead bee stung her. How well we remember that incident. Yes, sir! A DEAD bee stung Lucy, and it stung her good and properly, too. However, don’t let that discourage you, Lucy. Persevere in whatever you do. Katherine Hickey (Kay) South Franklin St. Hobby: Being with Irene “Quietness is a virtue.” You very rarely see Katherine without Irene or Rita. Katherine is a very quiet girl in school, but we have heard her talk occasionally outside. Perhaps she is pat- terning herself after Cal Coolidge — who knows ? Myron Holbrook (Chick) North Franklin St. Hobby: Music “Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast.” Activities: Echo 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; Senior Play 4; Class Treasurer 2, 4; Base- ball 4; Basketball 4. Chick is one of these quiet, unassuming lads who never pushes himself forward, but who always comes out near the top. We hear Chick is learning to be an expert organist — he can play the banjo and piano very well now — success to you, Chick! Penelope Hutchinson (Penny) 26 Maplewood Ave. Hobby: Essexes “One who voices her thoughts.” Activities: Basketball 3, 4; Echo 3, 4; Athletic Drama 3; Senior Play; Track 1, 2; Vice-President of Class 2; Lunch-room 3, 4. The girl with snap and style to her. She has a way of squelching would-be wise- crackers that is a constant source of envy and admiration to the rest of us. She was Jane, the heroine, in the Senior Play, and how she did (or does) love her hero! J. Allan MacKinlay (Mac) North Franklin St. Hobby: Cedar Hills “A pleasing figure is a thing of joy.” Activities: Echo 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Senior Play 4; Athletic Drama 4. Oh, that girlish figure! But they tell us, as we go to print, that he is on an eighteen day diet. Shouldn’t need to, with the exer- cise he gets in going to the popular Cedar Hills section. Allan came to us in our Sophomore year. Wish you and your wise- cracks had been here always, Allan, al- though we do not always care for your taste in ties.
