28 THE ECHO THE YEAR ROUND When winter comes with all its cold, Of its biting winds we need not be told. The skies each day are gray and bleary; We poke our fires to make them cheery. Soon comes spring with its soft delight. Warm breezes blow with all their might, Flowers bloom; the grass gets green, In the sky is a golden sheen. Long hot days and cool short nights Make the summer spirit right. The twitter of birds up in the trees Mix with the humming of honey bees. When nimble Jack Frost treads o’er the ground We know that autumn has come around. The trees look gray, forlorn, and bare. With faded leaves sprinkled here and there. Oh ! It’s great to be well and alive To watch the years roll swiftly by And nature as she tenderly dresses Each new year with her sweet caresses. E. Vascovitch, ’39. HALLOWE’EN NIGHT Oh, many’s the time on Hallowe’en night You’d see something awful, a terrible sight. And you’d race up the street with all of your might. With knees all a-shaking, firsts doubled for fight, ’N say, “Indoors for me, next Hallowe’en night.” But when Hallowe’en again rolls aroun’. You’ll be all rigged up to mimic a clown. Then you’ll hear something funny, a very strange sound. And your heart will start to race, skip, and pound As you run up the street with all of your might, ’N say, “Indoors for me, next Hallowe’en night.” Marjorie M. Kohl, ’39. THE COWBOYS OUT WEST I know a place that is ’way out west Where the cowboys and horses have little rest. They work very hard and seldom do wrong. They’re always joking or singing a song. They break wild horses and brand all the steers. And they greet each other with lusty cheers — Then back to the bunk-house to take a rest. And they’re sure there’s no place so good as the West. F. Packard, ’39.

30 THE ECHO Churchill, and Hilton Murdock; Literary: Frances Bisbee, Edith Flanagan, and Mary Smith. A general business meeting was held in the auditorium, and prizes for the best magazines and newspapers were given out. The first prize for Class A Magazine went to Weymouth High School ; sec- ond, to Braintree High School. The first prize for Class B Magazine went to East Bridgewater High School; second prize, to Fall River. The school papers were judged by Miss Miriam May, a former mem- ber of the League. A delicious supper was enjoyed by all the students and teachers from 6.45 to 7.15 in the cafeteria. Cheers upon cheers were given during the supper which enlivened everyone and made all feel ready for the coming attractions. We then returned to the auditorium to listen to a very interest- ing chat by Howell Cullinan of the Herald Traveler, author of “Pardon My Accent” and “Of All Places.” Moving pictures on California and South America concluded the evening’s program. All enjoyed themselves and arrived home safely. Esther Seaverns, League Representative. JANUARY LEAGUE MEETING A meeting of the Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publications was held January 22, 1936, at Attleboro High School. Registration was held from 3.45 to 4.00 o’clock in the corridor. Following this, a welcome was given by Mr. Mack, Principal of the Attleboro High School. The delegates from the Echo arrived just in time to attend the following departmental meetings: Advisory Board, Esther Seaverns and Mr. Naverouskis ; Editor-in-Chief, Paul Wiggins and Leo McKinnon ; Business Manager, Roland Kearns ; Literary Editors, Geraldine Collins; Exchange Editors, Mary Smith; Athletic Editors, Hilton Murdock and Frank Baker; Joke Editors, Annie Min- kowski; School News, Lucy Kenstowicz. According to all reports these meetings were not too interesting. A general business meeting was held in the Assembly Hall after these meetings, and, for a change, this was short and sweet. At about five thirty, we left the high school to go to the most important place of all, the supper tables. In order to do this, we had to don our hats and coats and go out into the cold. We walked about one-half mile to the Murray Universalist Church where the supper was served. By this time our appetites were very much strengthened, but the supper soon appeased our hunger. During this period we sang such songs as “Sweet Adeline” and the favorite “Music Goes Round and Round”; also many loud and hilarious cheers were given by the students. Soon we were back at the school again, prepared to listen to an hour’s very interesting speech from Mr. Charles C. Cain, Jr., Pub- lisher of the Attleboro Sun. Dancing ended a day of much enjoyment. We arrived home late that evening. Esther Seaverns, ’36, Student Representative.
