THE ECHO 21 THE SENIOR DANCE The first dance of the season was held by the Senior Class, November 13, 1936, in honor of Armistice Day. The Silhouette Orchestra from Brockton was engaged and furnished enjoyable musi c for the dances. The hall was attractively decorated with American flags and red, white, and blue streamers. At ten o’clock, intermission was held, and ice cream was served. The prize waltz was won by Norma Caswell and Clayton Hooker, former Sumner students. The elimination dance was won by Albert Lang, another former student and an out-of-town girl. The faculty guests and sponsors were Miss West, Miss Megley, Mr. Allen, and Mr. Naverouskis. The dance proved to be successful and enjoyable, both to the Class of ’37 and to all who attended. POVERTY AND BARN DANCE TH)E Senior Class held its last dance of the year May 21, in the form of a Barn and Poverty Dance. The hall was well decorated to make it appear as a barn. Everyone joined in the different novelty dances and the march. A good time was had by all. Hal Gregory’s Orchestra furnished the music. OFFICE STAFF Senior girls of the Commercial Course are selected to work in the office during the year. Passing grades and parents’ consent are required before per- mission to undertake the position is given. This year one Junior girl was selected so that next year she may break in six other girls. The opportunity to work in the office prepares the girls in practical business education. Each girl takes one period a day, rotating the days of the week. If a girl is absent, another member of the staff will substitute. Each period has different duties to be completed, such as absence lists, make-up slips, mail, notices and letters to be written, teachers’ errands and. or- ders to be filled, dismissals to be recorded, and flunk cards to be recorded and mailed. The Seniors, in leaving the office staff this year, wish to express sincere thanks to the faculty and student body for the fine co-operation they have re- ceived during the year. They hope next year’s office girls will enjoy the work and gain as much information as they did.
