30 THE ECHO Heat Water With Gas BROCKTON GAS LIGHT COMPANY Advisory Board — Miss Megley, Helen Kelly Art Editors — Rita Moran, Ruth Bettencourt Business Managers — Robert Martin, Grace Kelly Athletics — Robert Stanley, Paul Wiggins Literary — Ruth Hill, Robert Colburn, Mar- garet Huskins At 5.15 there was a talk on magazine writing by Mr. Paul Newsome, editor of the Weymouth Gazette. A delicious supper was served. Throughout the meal was much singing and harmonizing, led by James W. Calderwood, leader of the Orchestra. At the business meeting at 7.00 o’clock the new officers for the coming year were announced. They were Leroy Beaton, Stoughton, president; Charles O’Brist, Attleboro, vice-president; Peter Baroni, Bridgewater, treasurer; Edith Thayer, West Bridgewater, recording secretary. Then came some entertainment; orches- tra selections were led by Mr. Calderwood. Before the rest of the entertainment took place, a very interesting, “short and funny” talk was given by Mr. Angus D. MacDon- ncll of the Quincy Evening News. He told of the importance of being truthful, simple, and straightforward in all writing. It sure- ly was good. Now for the rest of the enter- tainment. William Donovan gave piano se- lections; Jessie Saunders did likewise. Edith Boutillier and Anna Bourque gave readings. Franklin Burrell sang some very beautiful semi-classical songs in fine tenor fashion. The most enjoyable and funniest act was the one given by the trio: Edward Butler, John Stetson, and Ed Thomas. Were they funny! You should have heard them imitate the Mills Brothers and the Boswell Sisters. Maude Hunt tap danced. Dancing was enjoyed then in the girls’ gymnasium until 9.30, when all went home after a most satisfying day and evening. Respectfully submitted, Helen Kelly, League Representative.

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:
