Holbrook High School - Echo Yearbook (Holbrook, MA)

THE ECHO 27 It has a somewhat distinguished name. I would suggest having the school news under a separate heading and in a different column. I find the same trouble with the “Parrot’’ from Rockland. The school news, if it were in a separate column and under one head- ing, might improve your book. Here is a new school heard from, and that is Uxbridge. This paper is very good, although I would suggest a few more jokes. The Argunot from Norwood is a very good book also. The literary department is surely worthy of praise. I think the book as a whole is very complete. I see another publication of the “Sema- phore” from Stoughton. Your sport column is written up very well. We not only have another copy of the Semaphore, but also of the Echo from Can- ton. Your paper is very interesting, and the literary department is especially de- serving of credit. I wonder if there aren’t a few poets in Canton High School. Here is something interesting in this publication. Loci Fatini What did he do with the water? Vetus. What did the wrestler say? Lego. Why didn’t they win the battle? No men. What are they accusing him of? Malus. Why do people go to bed ? Viri. What kind of a town is Canton? (Or how about Holbrook?) Hie. What made him so stout? He et and et. Here is another copy of the Blue Owl from Attleboro, and it is just as complete as ever. We certainly obtain a good intro- duction to the characters of the Senior play in “The Glimpses of the Senior Play.” The alumni department certainly shows a great deal of work on the part of its editors. Exchange Editor, Geraldine Behan, ’35. Helen Kelly: What kind of car have you? F. Chase: A runabout. Helen: A runabout? Chase : Yes, it’ll run about a block and then stop. Jack and Jill rolled down the hill. A curve they met was sharp. The car upset. Jack’s rolling yet. And Jill is playing a harp. Farmer: Hi there! What ’cha doin’ up in my cherry tree? George Daly: I am just obeying orders, sir; that sign says, “Keep off the grass.” THE SENIOR CLASS The Senior class of Sumner High Are not o’er looked as they pass by. There are Junie and Helen who love to sing. Their voices some day in opera will ring. The mischievous one is Chase, you know Whose gum chewing is quite a show. And Kenneth Stanley is far from rough. But he needs two girls to strut his stuff. Peggy’s well versed in the cooking line. As a wife for Alfred she ought to shine. Another member is our friend Bob Who always seems to be on the job. And too, there’s Wade so tall and neat Who listens to owls on Sycamore Street. Two mammoth feet has one named Bill. These, nevertheless, don’t hamper his skill. Now, my dear friends, I hope you’ll agree That this grand class should successful be. One who hopes to be a Senior. Mehl: (To Mr. Walsh) “Coach, what am I going to play this afternoon?” Mr. Walsh: “End and guard. You’re go- ing to set on the end of the bench and guard the water bucket. Miss Collins : “How did you cut your foot?” L. McKay: “I was swimming beside Wade Hooker, and he was doing the scissors stroke.” Bob Martin (Rushing enthusiastically into the office of the first building he came to) : “What sort of chance is there here for a young fellow beginning at the bottom to work his way up?” “Not much chance,” answered the kind manager. “We’re contractors for digging wells.” Landlady: “Well, how do you feel now? Brindley: “Terrible! I feel as if I were going to die.” Landlady: “Well, you can’t die here; this is the living room.” Miss Maguire : “Give me a sentence using the word “tenderloin.” L. Mehl: “I can’t play bridge, and I don’t intend to loin.” Mr. Walsh: There will be only a half day of school this morning. H. Johnson: Whoopee! Hurray! Mr. Walsh: Silence. We’ll have the other half this afternoon. Gypsy : I tella your fortune, Mister. J. Smith: How much? Gypsy : Twenty-five cents. J. Smith: Correct. How did you guess it? Miss Richardson (after erasing the deci- mal point trom a number) : Now where is the decimal point? George Daly: On the eraser, teacher.

26 THE ECHO ORCHESTRA First row: E. Seaverns, N. Caswell, F. Sorocco, I. Georpre, R. Kierstead, C. Williams, W. Sands. Second row : R. Lang, H. Baker, J. Drummond, P. Gilley, C. Casperon, W. Hamilton. Third row : J. Mossesso, C. Eaton, T. Jordling, A. Seaburg, F. Baker. Back row : Miss Murphy, Supervisor, L. Randall, E. Lucas. THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra has been working very hard since January. It has played at all the assemblies which have been held once every two weeks. On May 13 a Music Festival was held at Arlington. The orchestra attended, took part in the parade, and had a most enjoy- able time. It did not enter the contest be- cause there were not enough violins. On May 19 the orchestra is playing for a musical entertainment, sponsored by Miss Murphy, who is the orchestra instructor. This is station ECHO broadcasting the latest report from the school papers of the Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publications. The mailman brought to us this morning a huge stock of papers, and it seems as though every school is rep- resented. What is this we have here? The Blue Owl from Attleboro. Well, it looks like a good beginning. The reproduction of the 1879 publication of “High School Report- er” is a rather unusual but excellent idea. Then, too, the alumni department certainly shows a great deal of work on the part of its editors. Look, here is one with a very effective cover. Looking it over, we see that it bears the name of the “Abhis” from Abington. This is also a very interesting book, al- though I think that a separate heading for your literary department might improve it. Have you ever seen a good picture of an Indian? If not, just look at the cover of the Sachem from Middleboro. Your edi- torial department is surely worthy of praise. It must have been an unusual oc- casion when “orphans accompanied by their parents” were admitted “free of charge on a twelve cent ticket,” and the trip “through the Sahara Desert on a yacht” must also have been enjoyable. Perhaps Sumner will join you next time. Here is another publication, although this somewhat different. It is in the form of newspaper and published every two weeks. As I look at it, I see it is “The Bulletin.” Watertown High certainly does not suffer for want of news with such an excellent publication to read every two weeks. As I look through Canton’s publication, “The Echo,” I see a very large and inter- esting Literary Department. I think there must be a few witty pupils at Canton High, so why not have a few more jokes ? There certainly must be a great many clever poets in North Easton by the looks of this department of the Eastoner. I would suggest a larger literary department, although this book as a whole is very in- teresting. Ah, here is another Indian name, “The Wampatuck” from Braintree. It surely has excellent designs for its departmental head- ings. The exchange department, too, de- serves much credit, but this magazine is al- ways complete. Hanover is also represented here with its publication, “The Hanoverian.” This book as a whole is very good, and the literary department especially deserves credit. Stoughton’s publication, “The Sema- phore,” seems amply provided with school news. The illustrated poem on the back of the cover is very cleverly portrayed. Here is the “Reflector” from Weymouth. EXCHANGE is a
