CLASS ODE By Charles Jervey The time has come for us to part. Dear Sumner we must leave. You’ve made a bond in ev’ry heart And for you we shall grieve. Forward we go, the future calls This class of ’38. New tasks we’ll have as we set forth To bravely meet our fate. But with the power at our command There’s much that we can do. Hence let’s today united stand To bid Sumner adieu. Chorus But “Forward Ever — Backward Never” We go fearlessly, And in our motto placing trust. We say goodby to thee.

THE ECHO 9 CLASS DAY WELCOME By George Gagnon Teachers, parents, and friends, we the seniors sincerely welcome you to our class day exercises. We also extend a hearty welcome to our understudies, the Juniors, and bid them note with care all that takes place that they may with some faint degree of success fill the great gap that will be left by our departing class. It is with a feeling of just pride that we review our high school career, for in greatness we are second to no class Sumner has ever seen. I hope you are prop- erly impressed and realize how very fortunate is your lot to have the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-eight for a model and a guide. We advise you to let this sight of our glorious and immortal class inspire you to greater deeds which we hope will make you worthy of the important position some of you will possibly fill as seniors. And now casting all levity aside for a few moments, may we welcome each and everyone of you again to our Senior Class Day? CLASS HISTORY By Ruth Clooney It was on the morning of September 6, 1934, that this great class of ’38 first came into existence at Sumner High School. We were about sixty strong, having one great ambition, “To be dignified Seniors.” We were divided into three groups. The College group found their home room with Mr. Hodge, and the Commercials were separated, half in Miss Richardson’s room and half in Miss Maguire’s room. Having such a large class it was only natural that we be a very active class. We held a sort of resentment toward the upper classes who looked down upon us, just another bunch of “green Freshmen,” so we were determined to show them what we could do. Many of our Freshmen entered into Basketball, Gym, and Football, as well as becoming members of the Lunch Room, Orchestra, and various clubs. At first everything was new and different to us, and we wandered around like “lost souls” wondering where to go next, but as we were an unusually bright class, it did not take long for our greenness to wear off. The great event of every Freshman Class is its first class meeting, and Freshmen usually have only one, but this great class was not satisfied with one, we had two. Our first meeting was to elect class officers. Robert Potts was elected President; William Wood, Vice-President; Charles Caspersen, Secre- tary; and Ruth Clooney, Treasurer. Our second meeting was called to remind us that there was such a thing as class dues to be paid, and also to decide whether or not we wanted to have our pictures, as a class, in the coming Echo. We being a very outstanding and prosperous class of course voted in favor of having our pictures in the book. The rest of the year went by with very little excitement, and WQ left in June 1935 with the idea of coming back the following September as full fledged Sophomores.
