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.

THE ECHO 31 MARCH LEAGUE MEETING The third League Meeting of the Southeastern League of School Papers was held at Watertown High School, March 18, 1936. Registration was held in the front corridor of Watertown High School, where the tickets for supper were purchased at the same time, from 3.30 to 4.15. Following this there was a general gathering in the assembly hall where we were welcomed very cordially by Mr. Whitehill, Principal of Watertown High School. Immediately after this, we went to various departmental meetings. Miss Megley and Esther Seaverns went to the Advisory Board meeting; Editors-in- Chiefs’ Meeting, Paul Wiggins and George Gagnon ; Business Managers’ Meeting, William Sands, Edith Flanagan, and Alice Franklin; Athletic Editors’ Meeting, Ada Clooney and Leo McKinnon; and Literary Editors’ Meeting, Ruth Kierstead and Frances Bisbee. A delicious supper was served in the High School Cafeteria from 5.30 until 6.30, after which two very interesting and young speakers gave us some valuable information on two of our Boston papers. The speakers were Jack Frost, an excellent artist, and Paul Craigue, a sports editor. Evidently these two young speakers were extremely interesting, or maybe it was their youth which attracted the girls, for I never saw the girls hang around any speakers before just to get their autographs! Dancing was held in the gymnasium, and an excellent floor show was given by members of the Watertown High School. Although it rained both going and coming home and in spite of the fact that the car was rather crowded, we arrived home safe and sound and in an extremely good mood. Esther Seaverns, Student Representative. MAY LEAGUE MEETING The Southeastern League of School Papers held its last meeting at Middleboro High School, May 20, 1936.
