STUDENT COUNCIL Early in the school year 1938-39 the Student Council was formed at the sug- gestion of Mr. Garland Neal, principal of this hish school, for the purpose of financing school athletics and activities and settling any questions that might come. It was also to see that ballots were prepared for any elections and to see that the school was run according to parliamentary order. The representatives to the Council were elected by majority in the proportion of four Senior repre- sentatives, three Junior, two Sophomores, and one Freshman. Each club and squad in the school was also allowed to elect one representative. In October the first official meeting was called and the following officers were elected: chair- man, Jean Gagnon; secretary, Pauline Rayner; and treasurer, Ruth Johnson. Pauline Rayner was later replaced by Corrinne Terrazano. The council was then ready for action and started upon the problem of financing; school sports. The first activity toward this end was a bean supper, in which the Council was aided by Miss Elna Knutson, Miss Anna Damon, and Mr. Garland Neal. Next the council joined with the Senior class in the arranging of a St. Patrick’s Day- dance. There were also social activities in which the Council members took part. The first of these was a conferenee in Boston to which the delegates were Zoe Polisson and Ruth Johnson.

32 THE ECHO dent Councils of the Southeastern Division of Massachusetts was held in Whit- man. Three delegates: Zoe Polisson, Ruth Johnson, and Jean Gagnon attended. From both these gatherings much good was derived and there are high hopes that good work may continue on the part of the Student Council. Finally as- semblies presented during school time have completed the program for the financial support of the school. All these activities were successful, and the Council is very grateful to all those who patronized them. STUDENT ASSOCIATION The Student Association, which has been in existence for six years, is of bene- fit to the students of Sumner High School in many ways, for it saves them money, is convenient, and aids the school. This year the association was started on October 7 and will end in thirty-two weeks on June 2. This means that the members, who number about ninety, will have paid in $3.20 in return for which they will have received $5.45. Among the entertainments to which Association members have been admitted are the Barn Dance, the Senior Dance, the Junior Prom, all the Home Basketball games, the Senior Drama, five evening movies, the Gym Exhibition, and an assembly. They will also have $.80 of their class dues paid and receive a copy of the Yearbook. It is easy to see that the Association is well worth belonging to; however, the members of the Association would have received even more if there had been a larger membership so next year let’s derive all possible benefit from our Student Association and have a record membership. ORCHESTRA The Sumner High School Orchestra for 1938-1939 though composed mostly of new members, has made fine progress under the excellent leadership of Miss Margaret Murphy. Besides entertaining at the Annual Spring Music Festival, they played at a Jamboree which was held for the benefit of the Infantile Paralysis Fund, Episcopal Church Eair, both being held in the Town Hall, and will play also at the Junior and Senior High Graduations. On a few occasions we have been directed by our student leader, Richard Croft, of the freshman class. Notwithstanding the fact that we haven’t any Juniors or Seniors, the or- chestra is progressing rapidly. It is composed of the following: violins, Walter Pawlouskie, Helen Mackey, Audrey Smart, Eleanor Kennedy; saxophones, Arnold Soule, Virginia Hogan; piccolo, Donald McKay; baritone horn, Richard Walsh; trombones, Stewart McKay, George Hagerty; trumpets, John Haggai, Audrey Robertson, Barbara Smart; drum, Richard Croft; piano, Maria Mack. Soloists, Xylophone, Richard Croft; Accordion, Pauli ne Rayner. Marie Mack, Stewart McKay
