FOOTBALL The football team this year was weakened greatly by losing so many good players of last year through their graduation. As a result the team doesn’t appear to have a very good showing; however, the work, which improved with each game, points to a very successful 1937 season. Out of seven games played there were 0 games won, 1 tied, and 6 lost. The games follow: Stoughton 25 Holbrook 0 Cohasset 13 Holbrook 0 Yarmouth 12 Holbrook 0 Oliver Ames 28 Holbrook 0 Dighton 0 Holbrook 0 Scituate 13 Holbrook 6 Stetson 7 Holbrook 0

THE ECHO 27 ALUMNI NOTES We hear many of our graduates from Sumner are making goo d in the world since they left dear old Sumner. Many are attending college; others are working in different businesses.

Robert Colburn ’35, star basketball and football player of his class, is attending the School of Physical Education, Boston University. Robert McGauphey ’35 is going to Holy Cross College in Worcester. Carlotta Casper- sen, Albert Lang, Rita Lang, and Geraldine Behan, all of the class of ’35, are attending Bridgewater Teachers College. Norma Caswell ’36, one of the best musicians Sumner ever had, is attending the School of Music, Boston University.

College, schools, and business establishments have received these students of Sumner where they are showing their ability to compete with others. This shows that Sumner has adequately trained these boys and girls to take their places in the world and cope with its every obstacle. Holbrook (at Randolph) : “Oh, look, the players are covered with mud. How will they ever get it off?” Rand: “What do you think the scrub team is for?” Chief Higgins: “It’s time to get dog licenses again. You keep a dog, don’t Q ?? you : Daly: “No. If we hear a noise, we bark ourselves.” Leona (bookkeeper) : “How shall I book the amount with which the cashier absconded?” Miss Damon: “Mark it down in running expenses.”
