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.

THE ECHO 29 LEAGUE MEETINGS JA NUARY LEAGUE MEETING The second meeting of the Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publica- tions was held on January 17, 1933, at the Braintree High School in Braintree. The “Echo” delegates arrived about four o’clock, and registration took place in the front corridor until four-fifteen. From there all the delegates went to the auditorium and enjoyed a very cordial welcome by Principal James L. Jordan. Directions were given for the departmental meetings which were attended as follows: Editors-in-Chief — Kenneth Stanley Business Managers — Grace Kelly, Robert Martin Art Editors — Ruth Hill Exchange Editors — Barbara Brooks, Esther Seaverns Athletic Editors — Marion Davison, Paul Wiggins Joke Editors — Rita Moran, who presided Executive — Helen Kelly, Miss Megley. At the end of these meetings, all the dele- gates went back to the auditorium where an interesting talk entitled “Some High Lights in Press Work” was heard. It was given by Mr. Paul K. Blanchard of the Warren Press, Boston, Massachusetts. It lasted from five- thirty to six-fifteen. At six-fifteen came the most important event — the supper. It was served in the High School cafeteria and consisted of ham, mashed potatoes, string beans, cole slaw, and ice cream. In the midst of the ham and potatoes was some hearty and lusty cheer- ing. Incidentally, this supper was planned last spring. Looks as if they took no chances in forgetting it. Seven-thirty found us all in the audi- torium again with satisfied palates and listening to a greeting by Superintendent of the Braintree Schools, Mr. E. Fisher, and also to a most interesting address by the Boston Globe Radio Announcer, Mr. Howell Cullinan. He gave us many inter- esting insights in newspaper work. Danc- ing was enjoyed until ten. Everyone enjoyed himself and arrived home safely. Helen Kelly, League Representative. LEAGUE MEETING The third meeting of the Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publica- tions was held at Attleboro High School on March 15, 1933. The delegates arrived safely, and registra- tion took place immediately in the main corridor at 3.45. They were then most cordially welcomed at the general assembly in the auditorium by Principal Alfred R. Mack. Mr. Mack, incidentally, was chair- man of this league two years ago. Depart- mental meetings started at 4.15 and ended at 5.30. The following attended: Advisory Board — Miss Megley and Helen Kelly Editors-in-Chief — Kenneth Stanley and Ruth Hill Business Managers — Robert Martin and Grace Kelly School Notes Editors — Paul Wiggins and Marion Davison. Art and Joke Editors — Barbara Brooks and Rita Moran The general business meeting was held at 5.30, presided over by Vice-President Blake because of the absence of President Marcom. All were getting impatient for their sup- per, and finally were called at 6.15 to the gymnasium where a delicious repast was served by R. P. Slater, caterer. The sup- per consisted of shrimp patties, ham, mashed potatoes, peas, cole slaw, hot bis- cuits, and ice cream and cookies. And, oh boy, did Paul Wiggins get razzed for eat- ing so much. When everybody was sufficiently full, all marched back again to the assembly hall to be entertained b y the High School Orches- tra under the direction of John L. Gibb, and was he funny? Well, just to see his actions up in front of the orchestra was enough to set everybody laughing. What a director!! Mr. Toscaninni had better look out for his position. An address by Mr. Charles C. Cain, Jr., of Attleboro on “The Romance of News- paper Work” was delivered. Surely some interesting points were gathered on news- paper reporting. The last hour of entertainment consisted of selections by the orchestra. No dancing w ' as allowed, and were some mad! Well, anyway, all arrived home early. Respectfully submitted, Helen Kelly, ’33, League Representative. MAY LEAGUE MEETING The last meeting of the Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publica- tions was held in Weymouth on Wednesday, May 17. When the Echo group arrived they regis- tered in the front corridor and got the sup- per tickets and tags. A general assembly was held in the school hall; this opened with a pledge to the flag and the singing of “America.” A welcome was given by Prin- cipal F. W. Hilton. The League President, Alfred Morcom, explained the necessary de- tails of the departmental meetings. The following attended the meetings:
