THE ECHO 19 before. That is the reason the world is mak- ing such rapid progress. We meet many problems today, but they are, to a greater or less degree, the same problems that existed in the past. The Bible says, “Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting, — get understanding”. Both of these may be secured through the intelligent study of history. Carolyn Jervey, ’32. THE “AD” SQUAD The ad squad tried to do their best To fill the Echo’s golden chest, We’ll have to give them a big hand For they tried so hard to obey the command. Though times are hard, they did their work, You can be sure they did not shirk, And everywhere they went I’m told An “Ad” for our Echo was surely sold. Each time one went, he made up his mind, A brand new advertiser he would find. They travelled here, they travelled there, They travelled almost everywhere. They did not stop till their work was done; Then they cried, “You bet we’ve won. We didn’t waste time, or play, or fool, For we have faith in our dear school.” R. Smith, ’32. It is so easy when you grin; There’s not a battle you can’t win. A grin’s accepted anywhere; A real nice one, they say, is rare. A smile’s a thing we all can’t own, But there’s no need for you to groan Because a grin can take its place And help you win in any race. If you can grin at each remark, I think you’ll find this life a lark. Don’t spend your life a sober judge, And carry in your heart a grudge. A grin will make you twice the kid That any frown ever did. It’s friends you need in this great world, When in the busy path you’re hurled. You’ve probably heard this said before, But I just hope you’ll hear it more. “It doesn’t cost a cent to grin,” So why not try it then — and win. “Nick.” THE HARPER First of all, I’ll wake the brook, Silver String, Then the grass to lean and look While we two do sing. Then before people know, Silver string, golden story ’Twill be spring, And all the trees shall breathe And blow o’er everything. Janice Lewis, ’34. THE FRESHMAN The Seniors think it is a shame The way the Freshmen act, But they were Freshmen once themselves. Now, isn’t that a fact? The Juniors think we’re foolish And cut up. Yes, we do, But the Juniors cut up also. Now isn’t that true, too? The Sophomores think we’re too small For their association, But last year they were Freshmen In our poor estimation. Oh, the Freshman has his traits For acting up and such, But of all the years in high school, Not one the first can touch. Yes, we all may have our troubles, Our foolishness, that’s true, But we also have our good times And are no worse than you. Irene Day, ’35. ON THE RANGE As the sun goes down at the end of the day, Homeward the cattle wend their way, Urged on by the cowboys, rugged and daring, Sombreros wide, and flapping chaps wearing. Their gay, carefree laughter, and the crack- ing of whips, And the tinkle of cow-bells like bells on a ship, The green of the grass and the blue of the sky, And the bark of a wandering coyote sly. But now as the day is nearly done, The cowboy’s ready for his fun, To ride quite freely o’er the range, Or joke and bicker with another exchange, Or ride wild horses unused to the rein That buck and kick in a way insane. That is their fun — their day is spent, With the set of the sun they feel content. Carolyn Jervey, ’32. REFLECTION When the sun hangs low at the close of the day And travellers stop by the side of the way, I always think of the things I’ve done, The friends I’ve lost, and the friends I’ve won, The things I have said that I later regret, And how I acted when problems I met, I usually end with a defiant movement As I see there’s plenty of room for im- provement. Carolyn Jervey, ’32.

THE ECHO 21 SENIOR DRAMA CAST F. Kierstead. M. Rolling ' s, F. Moran, L. Blanchard, J. Watkins. F. Aliein. J. Sullivan MEMORY LANE Is April Fool’s day always a day to fool people ? Ask any member of the Senior Class, and you will receive an emphatic “No” for an answer. On this date the Senior Class presented the three act comedy, “Memory Lane”, which was a huge success. The leading roles were played by Laura Blanchard as Hester Gray, and John Wat- kins as Robert Perry. Laura, appearing as Hester Gray, certainly showed us what a “brick” she could be by allowing her half sister, Evangeline, to take her boy friend. John Watkins, as Laura’s true lever and Frances’ fake lover, certainly took his part well. There must have been some outside practicing for some of these scenes. The part of Evangeline, Hester’s hi If sis- ter, was taken by Frances Ahern, who was very attractive in her childhood attire. Willie Gordyn, son of a wealthy New York antique collector, played by John Sullivan, fell fast for Evangeline, although at first he was not Evangeline’s choice. “Sold” capped the climax, Johnnie. The haughty Mrs. J. Lester Gordyn, New York Society antique collector, was very well depicted by Myrtle Rollings. The part of Jonah Crowe, a politician, was taken by r rancis Moran, who sureiy put on a conceited part in a “big way”. Obadiah Gray, father of Hester and Evan- geline was depicted by Fred Kierstead, who we know, only tried to act innocent when smoking a cigarette. This huge success was coached by Miss Megley who was greatly astonished at the intelligence, brilliancy, and unexhaustible actions of certain members of the Senior Class. Thanks to you, Miss Megley, or we’d have been down in the “dumps”. Dancing followed with music furnished by Ryan’s Orchestra. Christie Hayden. TAMING OF THE SHREW On April 7th we were royally entertained by John E. Hines, a famous Shakespearian actor. He, without assistance, played “The Taming cf the Shrew”, taking the parts of all the players at once. We were charged ten cents per capita for this performance, but everyone who went did not consider his time thrown away. SARDINES A very exciting comedy was enacted by the domestic science class of Miss Doran. The cast of the piay was Mary Bussey, Kath- leen Walsh, Madaline Hanney, Helen Calla- han, and Evelyn Still. Alfrieda Doolittle, the maid, portrayed by Kathleen Walsh, seemed interested in every- thing except being a maid. Mary Bussey, as the mistress of the house, did her best to teach Alfrieda how to serve guests. Helen Callahan put real life on the stage with her gossip and sarcastic remarks. Lucy Watkins, acted by Madeline Hanney, always managed to cause much laughter in the audience by misunderstanding her friends. Evelyn Still, the writer from New York, managed to take a few notes down very suc- cessfully while the rest of the ladies were bringing Lucy Watkins out of her faint. The play kept the audience amused as well as interested. Fiances Sorocco. Mr. Neal (at assembly): “The Seniors will come d wn front and sing while the others pass out.”
