THE ECHO 27 at Sharon High School and for some reason the Holbrook girls could not get started, although they came through the victors. Caroline Jervey, our jumping center, and Marieta Regan, the side center, outwitted the S ' haron girls, while Eleanor Wood and Helen Kelly played a very good game at guard. The Holbrook forwards Annie John- ston and Carol Coulter outdid the Sharon guards and came through with a final score of 27 to 23. Holbrook vs. Bryantville Holbrook has another victory, 20 to 16, to her credit although the teams played a different form of basketball than it usual- ly did, but it worked very well. The Pem- broke girls had a very good outfit, but as Holbrook’s jumping center, Caroline Jervey, was so much taller, Holbrook could carry out its signals and as a result, of course, scored almost every time. Carol Coulter and Annie Johnston were the forwards for Holbrook, and they kept the Bryantville girls on the go all the time. The Bryant- ville girls would have liked to have a re- turn game, but as they are called “The team without a Home”, it was impossible to have a return game. Annie Johnston, Captain, ’31. The girls’ basketball season of 1930-31 was for the most part a great success. The captain of the 1930-31 season was Annie Johnston, and managers, Florence Tibbetts and Lillian Gvjorge, who performed their duties creditably. The regular team consisted of Carolyn Jervey center, Carolyn being so tall that during the season no other center could out jump her; Marieta Regan, side-center, Marieta helping Carolyn every time to get the balls to our forwards; Helen Kelley and Eleanor Wood, guards, both of whom played very good basketball all through the season; and Carol Coulter and Annie Johnston forwards, this combination out- witting many guards and causing many other teams much anxiety. The regular substitutes were Florence Mitchell, Frances Ahern, Kathryn Porter, and Ruth Hill. The season, everybody has agreed, was a success. Much credit is due to Miss Rich- ardson, our coach, and to Mrs. G. L. Neal. Two of the players are being graduated, Annie Johnston, forward, and Marieta Re- gan, side-center, both of whom have been active in athletic work.

And warm and pleasant is the balmy air. We S ' eniors, when the month of June comes ’round, Become more thoughtful, thinking of the day Which now draws on so swiftly, when we must Get out and start our journey on life’s way. For four long years we’ve been in high school now. But in a short time we will all be through. Old Sumner High, we scarce can realize That we’re about to say farewell to you. A score of us, that’s all that now remain Of thirty-six who entered in the fall Of nineteen twenty-seven. Now we part. Until we meet, farewell, my classmates all. N. A. Smith, ’31. A STOWAWAY A never-ending stream of folk Pass thru the trainshed’s choky smoke. Outside the “el” trains shriek and grind. Oh, leave this clamor all behind. A sea breeze bears the ocean spray. And I am off to Boston bay. I hear a freighter blow her horn. She will be far away by dawn. The brawny crew pull in the ropes. And to the sky soar all my hopes. I clamber up the starboard side And down beneath the life boat hide. A salty tang new life bestows As o’er the waves it gaily blows. And we are bound for Singapore — I should have thought of that before. Marian Jervey, ’31. AT DURFEE HIGH At half past one we all rushed out. And not a one of us did pout. For Durfee High we all were bound If, by chance, it could be found. Hot chocolate was served at the school; This sure was good, for the day was cool. Then to our separate meetings we went. Each on a different mission bent. For an hour we danced in Durfee’s hall. But all were ready for the dinner call. A delicious meal was on the table, And we ate all that we were able. We then enjoyed a program fine, I.asting until a little past nine. Riding home did not seem long As Hayden amused us with his song. Helen Morsi .
