Dear Sumner High we will always praise As we go out down life’s wide row. We’ll remember with joy all those perfect days When we studied there long ago, And as now we go forth on our separate ways. We shall think of the days loved so. But although we must part in this life of ours. Still we shall not regret the pain. We must scale to the top of those rocky towers; We must strive with our might and main Will we stand on that peak that we long to reach In that good and perfect land. Then we shall when we’ve said fond good-bye to each E’er recall Sumner’s helping hand.

THE ECHO 7 CLASS DAY WELCOME By John Card, Jr. Faculty, Juniors, friends, and especially parents, on behalf of the class of 1939 of Sumner High School, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our class day. It is with just pride that we review our high school career. For four years we have mixed hard work, good times, eye-straining study, and side-splitting joviality to become the best class ever to graduate from the high school of our lovable little town. Joy and sorrow, serious study, and pleasant parties have mingled to give us all unforgettable and pleasant memories of the best days of our life. Often you, our friends, have helped us in our times of despair, and now it is with delight that we can invite you to these exercises on this mem- orable day. May you enjoy them now by being happy with us, and may you enjoy them later as your memories turn back to us and to this day. CLASS HISTORY By Barbara Barton September 1935. Here we were a group of green Freshmen wandering through the halls of the high school looking for our rooms. Teachers were standing in the doorways waiting for us, telling us where to go. This year the pupils from Brookville joined the pupils from Holbrook. Although the teachers insisted we were not over bright, we thought we were. Our class was divided into three rooms. The College group were in Mr. Hodge’s room, part of the Commercial in Mr. Naverouskis’ room, and the rest in Miss Richardson’s. We held our first class meeting, a big event in the lives of the Freshmen. The following were chosen as officers: President, Richard McKinnon; Vice President, Marjorie Kohl; Secretary, Virginia Berry; Treasurer, William Franklin. On the school grounds we held a carnival consisting of games and refreshments. Some of our class mates distinguished themselves on the gym squad; and others joined the orchestra, glee clubs, and other clubs. The rest of the year proved uneventful except for Graduation in June. We looked forward to coming back as Sopho- mores and leaving the position of “green Freshmen” to the incoming class. We came back to school in September 1936 and were glad to see our school- mates. We were now Sophomores. This year Marjorie Kohl, Francis Bagley, and Ulmer Hill left us while Francis Bettencourt and Bernadine Ford joined our class. Mary Sorocco joined the Commercial division after spending her first year with the College division. At our class meeting the following officers were chosen: President, John Card; Vice President, Barbara Boardman; Secretary, Jean Gagnon, and Treasurer, Richard McKinnon. On December 16, 1936, we presented the Sophomore drama, “The Rebellion of Mrs. Barclay.” This was a comical story of family life and was acted out very well. All seemed to fit their parts. Those taking part in the play were John Card, Jean Gagnon, Ann McCaughey, William Franklin, Barbara Scott, Agnes Higgins, Kathleen MacPherson, Madeline Moran, and Richard McKinnon. The year passed quickly, and once again we left dear old Sumner to return as Juniors. In September 1937 back to school we trudged as Juniors. This year looked more promising because we took a more active part in the social life of the
