24 THE ECHO BOYS’ TENNIS Left to right: F. Welsford, E. Crandlemere, J. Megley, G. Mills, F. Kierstead. TENNIS Tennis, one of Sumner’s intensely inter- esting sports, is at this season receiving a great deal of attention. Mr. Neal, our prin- cipal, who is an ardent fan and an excep- tionally good player is our coach. We are very fortunate in having two tennis courts in our playground. Our tennis team is going tc challenge the surrounding schools in its class again this year. Last year the team played Han- over, Easton, and North Easion and came out very, very well. As a matter of fact, some very prominent schools are being challenged, schools, I think, out of their class, but they’ll come out with flying colors. The Vines and Tildens of the team were up to the Walk-Over Club last Wednesday, May 2, for practice. If they play as well against their opponents as they did at practice, they’ll certainly win. Their victims to be are as follows: Sumner at Hanover, Wednesday, May 9. Sumner at Weymouth, Monday, May 21. Boston College High at Sumner, Thurs- day, May 24. Weymouth at Sumner, Monday, June 4. Hanover at Sumner, Wednesday, June 6. Braintree at Sumner, Wednesday, June 13. The members of the team are Frank Kierstead, John Megley, Gardner Mills, Fred Welsford, Elmer Crandlemere. Doorkeeper (in Public Building): “Say, come back. Dogs aren’t allowed in here, sir.” Mullen: “That’s not my dog.” Doorkeeper: “Not your dog! Why, he’s following you.” Mullen: “Well, so are you.” EDUCATION Education is essential in this world to- day; it is the first step to success. If you have a good education, your mind will be well developed, for certainly in going through higher schools than high school, you are forced to think for yourself; there- fore, if you have obtained this quality, you can think out the problems — and there are many today in these times of depression — which confront your town or city. A col- lege graduate is often chosen for work in the commercial world because he or she knows how to reason and to think out his problems. So many people being out of work, it is necessary for you to have a bet- ter education than your neighbor, for, as a natural thing, an employer will pick the smartest, most educated of the group of ap- plicants for the position. The newspapers of today contain reading which requires education to understand for many articles are written by men and women who, after they had received their education, put what they learned into everyday use. A person once said to me, “Ignorance is Bliss.” Ig- norance may be bliss for some, but to me it would be far from that, for the ignorant do not often gain success. A few things a good education consists of are intelligent reading and writing, the ability to reason for one’s self, and the correct pronunciation and enunciation of the words in one’s end- less vocabulary. Stick to the three things: reading, writing and arithmetic, that you started in the joyful childhood days, and you will not only climb the ladder of knowledge, but you will also climb the lengthy ladder of success. Miss Knutson: Daly did you enjoy the diving in the swimming pool? Daly: Yes, but I’ll like it when the water is there.

Miss Richardson: Now then, Kelley, I want to set you a problem. Suppose there were five children and their mother had only four potatoes to share among them. She wants to give each child an equal share. How would she do it? Richard: Mash them.

The Echo Staff thanks all who have con- tributed in making this June Issue a suc- cess — the advertisers, the subscribers, and the contributors. It wishes especially to thank the contributors whose work does not appear because of the fact that the price of printing having increased one dollar a page, and the price of engraving being almost doubled, the staff was unable to meet the extended cost; hence a smaller book of necessity had to be produced. Thanks to all again.
