It is with just pride that we can look back at our four years of toil and fun, but all this has been obtained only from your faithful assistance in stand- ing by us, until now that we have risen to be one of the most likeable classes to graduate, indeed, leaving a gap too large to be filled by our understudies. We ask them only to follow in our foot-steps and to follow our model as their guide. May everyone look back to this, our Class Day, with enjoyable memories. CLASS HISTORY By Eleanor Baker In the history book of Sumner High September 3, 1936, will be a never-to- be-forgotten date. Why? Because fifty-three little sprouts joined the garden as freshmen. Of course we had the ambition to blossom out as seniors, and in spite of all the snubbing we received from the upper classes, we finally did. As we had a large class, we were in three rooms with Mr. Hodge, Miss Knutson, and Mr. Naverouskis as home-room teachers. As we were an “up and coming” class, nearly all of us took part in some school activity or other. One of the greatest events of the freshman year was the Freshman Frolic. Mr. Hodge, Miss Knutson, and Mr. Naverouskis helped us plan a very de- li ditful evening. The greatest event, however, was our first class meeting. W ith much excitement and anticipation we gathered in Mr. Naverouskis’ room and proceeded to elect our class officers. Helen Mitchell was chosen president; Marie Smith, vice-president; Eleanor Baker, secretary; and Wil- liam Saville, treasurer. The rest of the year passed uneventfully, and we left, hoping that by September we would sprout again, this time with some leaves on us. Two months passed. Our Sophomore year began. This time only forty-nine sprouts came out, but as we had hoped for, with leaves. W e lost several of our members: Joseph Cote, Robert DeW olfe, Henry Ferbert, Eve- lyn and Elaine Gardikis, Ralph Storey, and W illiam Saville. Bill left to go to New Mexico. W e gained a few new members though: Bruce Smith, Harry Robertson, Sylvia Morton, and Geraldine Kelly. At our first class meeting Philip Hammond was elected president; Barbara Iveson, vice-president; Vir- ginia Koeppel, secretary; and Ruth Johnson, treasurer. We also chose the Talisman rose as the class flower, blue and gold as the class colors, and “After the Battle, the Reward” as the class motto. On March 25 our Sophomore Drama, “Hello Trouble,” coached by Miss Bartlett, was presented publicly. Others who entertained were Robert Nason and Pauline Raynor with their ac- cordions, Helen Mitchell with a tap dance, Herbert Hamilton twirling a lighted torch, and a farce “The Chink and the Coon” by W illiam Bourne and Charles W illiams. Virginia Hanney closed the program with a difficult and graceful THE ECHO 9 acrobatic dance. The remainder of the year passed with little more excite- ment. September 1938 rolled around. This year the forty-nine leaves had buds. Although we lost during the year Dorothy Beere, who moved to Braintree; Thelma Bill, to Brockton; Rose Sacco, William Seaverns, William Sprague, and Robert Wheeler, we gained Richard Wilhelm from the South, Dorothy and Doris Morgan from Randolph, Paul and Mildred Clark from Quincy, Sumner Eddy from Easton, and Virginia McLaughlin to make the count still forty-nine. Dick left during the year to return to the South, and Paul left to go to work. The junior year was a very important one. At our first class meeting we elected Sumner Eddy, president; Barbara Iveson, vice-president; Dorothy Morgan, secretary; and Doris Morgan, treasurer. During the year we elected Ruth Johnson, Allen Murdock, and Sulo Nihtila to represent us on the Student Council. Our class also had the distinction of leading all the classes in the magazine drive. A very important class meeting was held on January 25, as we discussed our class rings. We really felt quite proud and grown-up to have real class rings of our own. The big event of our junior year came on May 5, the night of our Prom. The outstanding event was the Grand March led by our officers. The Prom was a grand success, and an event long to be remembered by us. Finally June came, and we left realiz- ing that at last we would blossom out as Seniors. Blossom we did but with only forty-three in our class. We lost during the year Alma Anderson, Irene DeCosta, Frank Vascovitch, Virginia McLaugh- lin, and Sumner Eddy. Robert Wheeler came back to finish with us. Our first class meeting was held on October 10. The class officers had been elected previously on October 6, with Richard Quincy, president; Barbara Iveson, vice-president; Eleanor Baker, secretary; and Edith Brown, treasurer. At our class meeting we decided to have a class photographer; the choice was Vantine from Boston. Their photographer came out to the school to take our pictures. The first event of the senior year was the Senior Dance, on Octo- ber 26. The Grand March was led by the officers, and everyone had a won- derful time. Then came our Senior Drama, “Little Women.” This was a great success financially as well as dramatically. Extra chairs had to be brought in to seat everyone, and some did have to stand. A great amount of cred ' t is due Miss Kathryn Megley for her fine coaching. The four “Little Women” were played by Nancy Cook as Jo; Mildred Clark as Meg; Eleanor Baker as Beth; and Beatrice Iveson as Amy. John Towns played the part of Laurie Lawrence, Charles George as John Brooke, Ruth Johnson as Han- nah, Doris Morgan as Mrs. March, and Richard Quincy as Mr. March. Sulo Nihtila played the part of Professor Bhaer. All acted fully as cleverly as professionals. At the end of the third act Richard Quincy presented Miss Meg- ley with a large bouquet in behalf of the cast. Ruth Johnson was elected as the good citizen to represent the class at the D. A. R. convention in Bos- ton. At last came the end of the year and our final activities. A boat trip to Provincetown on June 8, Class Day June 11, a Graduation Service for the Senior Class at the Brookville Baptist Church June 16, Reception June 12, and Graduation June 21. Now we have gone from little seedlings to great blossoms, and take with us the happiest memories of our lives of our four years in Sumner High School. 10 THE ECHO CLASS OF 1940 STATISTICS By Nancy Cook It gives me great pleasure at this time to submit the statistics of the illus- trious class of 1940. It was a great fight, but we all won. To start off on the rio;ht foot, the best looking students of our class are Helen Mitchell and Leo Kunan. Leo also won top honors as being the best dressed boy and the class Romeo. He tied for first place with Richard Quincy for the most popular boy, but Richard was voted the most athletic boy and the class Hercules. Away from the serious to the more silly. Henry Megley and Bruce Smith were voted the most comical and the biggest eaters. Henry was also voted the class clown, the best politician, the biggest fusser, and the biggest bluffer. Bruce came out as the noisiest and the heaviest. Bruce and Beatrice Tveson tied as the class gum-chewers; Henry and Howard Nason tied as the most daring; Howard and John Behan tied as the most forgetful. Beatrice took honors as the best dressed girl, the most popular girl, the class flirt, and the class giggler. Howard Nason was voted the sleepiest, the laziest, and the class sci- entist. Allen Murdock came out on top with the most likely to succeed, the most studious boy, and the most conscientious. Ruth Johnson was chosen most studious girl, teacher’s pet, and the most ambitious. Ruth tied with Mildred Clark as the most sophisticated. Mildred was voted the best singer, and the most charming. Nancy Cook was elected the best actress, the most versatile, and the best girl dancer. Others to attain honors were: Cutest Girl Quietest Class Wit and Best Actor Most athletic and tallest Worst Penman Shortest Girl Shortest Boy Tallest Boy , Thinest Class night-owl and fastest driver Most talented and most musical Most agreeable and most artistic girl Most artistic boy Class idealist and most original Meekest Class jitterbug and best boy dancer Biggest procrastinators Corinne Terrazano Eleanor Smart John Towns Morgan Twins Charles George Virginia Koeppel Richard Lyons Harry Robertson Mary Moran Harry Spieler Herbert Hamilton Eleanor Baker Sulo Nihtila Robert Finlay Robert Franz William Poole Senior Class For evident proof that we are a great class we have animals in our midst such as Lyons. Men of trade have been known to be present in the names of Smith, Baker, and Cook. Great cities and even countries are represented THE ECHO 11 by Quincy and Franz. For color we have a Brown, For bits of scenery we have Poole. For the ability of the class as a whole we have Smart. We have uncovered the family tree of Mildred Clark, and we find that she is a descendant of Siward of whom Shakespeare speaks in his great plav “Macbeth.” Thus ends the statistics of another of the graduating classes of Sumner High School. THE CLASS PROPHECY By Doris Morgan In 1950 a palmist told the story of the class of 1940 — The biggest line in anyone’s hand is called the line of life. You’ve all walked far along that line, and now it’s time to look around at your neighbors. Branching from this center line is one that’s called success. Neighbor Quincy has found this groove with plans produced for aeroplanes. The line of fortune was won by Johnny Towns whose snap-shots enlarged until they became favorite moving pictures. However, he has changed his technique. Now the people are allowed to pose for their pictures. Across the hand from finger to wrist there is the fine line of travel which represents the traveling salesman’s route of Harry Spieler, the speed demon. Just below the little finger several lines form a small cluster. Here we see the famous Kunan nurseries with fences built around the edge, to keep out the prize cows of Bruce Smith. In the middle of each finger is a line which stands for Ruth Johnson, the sewing teacher; Eleanor Baker, the art teacher; Helen Mitchell, the riding in- structress, and Howard Putt, the big fierce lion trainer. Eleanor Smart’s story shows a heart in this large palm, for she has married a business executive. However, that heart could stand for Beatrice Iveson, too, for she has found her man and now teaches Junior how to giggle. A large circle marks Barbara Iveson’s work, for she is a star reporter and has just written an article entitled, “ hat Harry Robertson Has Done at the Head of the Holbrook Water Department.” From a star shown at the finger tip of the imaginary hand there was the fate of Howard Nason who plays the best tennis game in all the L. S. A. He shares his place as star with Philip Hammond, who made all America sit up and take notice when he pitched that no-hit, no-run baseball game in the world series last year. A small square represented Henry Megley’s soap-box stand. As expected, Henry became an orator and now is a full-fledged politician. Henry’s right- band man is Sulo Nihtila who wins Henry’s elections by drawing cartoons for the daily news. Donald Clark and Arthur Levangie stood for the bachelors’ marks, and my! the girls they used to have! Our palmist showed that Lillian Gorton has become the owner of a beauty shop; Helen Polisson, the owner of a grocery store; Mary Moran, a learned 12 THE ECHO buyer at the Richard Lyons’ Lingerie Shop, and, believe it or not, Robert Franz owns the “Franz, Fill ’Em L p Quick, Gas Station.” To help him gain his speed John Behan lends a hand. With hats off we saw Charles George’s fortune. He became, from study and work, a prominent physician. Allen Murdock and Robert Finlay have dreams fulfilled by the air-line which they own. In one part of our hand there is an indication of William Poole. Bill is now the famous, jitter-bug, farmer, “who trucks to work each morn.” Marie Smith was shown as a first-class secretary, and Gerry Kelley has found interesting work in a modern milk company. She still follows the man with the white bottle. A small cross at the base of the thumb, our palmist told me, was our musical members. Herbert Hamilton renowned band leader still plays Irish tunes for his petite sweetheart. Corinne Terrazano is another success in music. Her voice led her to the New York Stage. The most surprising event is that Francis Mack now entertains our radio friends with yodeling selections. Sylvia Morton is settled in a little white house with problems arising when Junior insists on being late for supper. It was proved that two of our girls are happily situated. Mildred Clark has her name in bright lights when her performances are shown on the Ameri- can stage, and Virginia Koeppel has won the Academy Award for her acting ability on the American screen. By little lines around the wrist we saw that Thomas Walls is a man in- teresting to all American women. He is the second Robert Taylor of Holly- wood. Small lines from this one showed that Robert Wheeler has become a very good public accountant. Figures seemed to fascinate him. Nancy Cook and Dorothy Morgan have done social service work, and although fame from the outside world has not been experienced, the work accomplished by them is incomparable. Edith Brown, too, has given untold services in her career as a nurse. Yes, we’ve had all walks of life represented by our class, and anyone can speak of I940’s class with pride. CLASS WILL By Beatrice Iveson We, the members of the Senior Class of 1940, of Sumner High School, Town of Holbrook, County of Norfolk, State of Massachusetts, United States of America, being uncertain as to the frail life that we are living, do, therefore, make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. Item 1. To all the teachers. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and the Janitors, we leave fond memories of the most brilliant and illustrious class to ever be graduated. Item 2. The Senior Class leaves to all other classes their dignified air and sophistication, so that by the time they are Seniors, they will not be silly, but dignified instead. THE ECHO 13 Item 3. We, the Seniors, leave to the janitors a germ killing disease to spray all rooms so the rest of the classes won’t catch our disease of brilliancy. Item 4. To the Juniors we leave our books in which are many notes and answers. It- m 5. We, the Class of 1940, leave to the incoming Senior Class Miss Megley’s room, to love and to cherish as we did. Item 6. The Senior office force leave to the Juniors the ability and capa- bility of taking care of the office. We hope they will be as efficient as we were. Item 7. To the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, we leave the privi- lege of receiving the “Honor Room Banner.” Item 8. To the Incoming Seniors we leave the back row for all assem- blies. It’s not what is taking place, but to sit in the seats which our class once sat in! Item 9. The Seniors leave to the Juniors, the watching of the clocks from 8:07 to 1:48, and hope they will take as good care of them as we did. Item 10. The lunchroom girls leave their ability of making “Tuna Fish” Sandwiches to Charlotte Bagley, Clara Colburn, and Alice McLaughlin. Item 11. To Leonard Hooker, Harry Spieler leaves his instructions of careful driving. Harry is such a careful driver! Item 12. Ruth Johnson leaves to Dorothy Kierstead the supervision of the Student Council. Item 13. To Mr. Hodge, we bequeath memories of the Physics classes and their adventurous journeys to parts unknown. Item 14. To some Junior who is willing and able, we give Henry Meg- ley’s ability to argue. Item 15. Nancy Cook leaves her ability as an actress to Annella Card. Item 16. Billy Poole leaves his prize waltzes to “Jimmie” Jones. Item 17. Eleanor Baker leaves her job as seamstress for Mr. Neal to Muriel Quincy. Item 18. Charles George leaves his penmanship to Walter Wallace and we hope that by the time he graduates, his writing will be readable. Item 19. Bruce Smith leaves to Dickie Walsh the management of the baseball teams. Item 20. We bequeath to Donald Hanney, Richard Quincy’s form as the “Man on the Flying Trapeze.” Item 21. Robert Finlay leaves his aeronautic knowledge to John Thayer of the Freshman Class, hoping that John, too, will know the serial numlDer of every plane that goes over when he’s a Senior like Robert. We attest this to be a true copy of the last will and final testament of the Senior Class of 1940, Sumner High School, Holbrook, Massachusetts, this 12th day of June in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty. {Signed) The Class of 1940. Witnesses: Presidents of Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior Classes. 14 THE ECHO Class Gifts To Eleanor a pencil blue, And we hope ’twill play a part In helping her to reach her goal Along the road of art. A spark plug for John Behan’s car, We’re sure it needs no more. Now he can ride out very far ’Cause the motor hits on all four. Brownie’ll be a nurse we’re sure. And temperatures she’ll take. So here’s a thermometer clean and pure. Use it, for goodness sake. “Crusher” gets this sparring mate For a boxer he will be. And right on top he’s going to rate; In the winter he will ski. To “Mille” we give this book of plays, W e know she’ll use it in future days. To Sumner High she’ll bring great fame, By having lights spell out her name. To Nancy Cook this printer’s ink, And if she will not shirk, She’ll go to great extents, we think. In literary work. What else could Finlay possibly get? And when he’s soaring through the sky. Let’s hope he will never, never forget The wonderful days that are gone by. W ' e give to Franz a tiny bow To keep his hair in place. For when he’s standing up in class. We’d like to see his face. “Charlie” George is a baseball star; A super-batter is he. So here’s a bat to hit the pill far. As far as the eye can see. Lillian has a pretty face. Her features are oiiite dollish. To her we give this powder base So her nose won’t polish. To Herby here’s a book on notes To keep his mind at home Because without the lines and bars. His thoughts are apt to roam. To Phil we give this little ball. And when he’s pitching for the Sox, W ' e hope he won’t forget us all. So carry it always in your box. To the Iveson twins a notebook each Though in other ways they vary We know that each is sure to win As a private secretary. Ruthie gets this picture frame, W ho’ll go in we will not name.

When it’s fired, we’ll give you the key. Heard in Classes A coach was giving some final instructions to his team before the biggest game of the season. Suddenly spying a sub on the bench who had not seen action all season he said, “What would you do if we were on their ten-yard line, and they intercepted our pass?” The sub paused for a second and finally said, “In that case. I’d probably move farther up the bench to see better.” The high tide in the ocean is caused when a certain person from Brook- ville goes swimming! « « If a horse fell into my bathtub.

Nancy Cook, as Jo, did justice to her part, playing it very true to the character. Meg, Beth, and Amy played by Mildred Clark, Eleanor Baker, and Beatrice Iveson respectively were portrayed charmingly. Doris Morgan made a delightful mother, Mrs. March; and Hannah, the maid, was played ably by Ruth Johnson. An excellent piece of acting was given by Virginia Koeppel when she was the crochety Aunt March. John Towns was the perfect selection for Laurie, and no one could have been better than Sulo Nihtila for Prof. Bhaer. John Brooke, played by Charles George, and Rev. Mr. March played by Richard Quincy were beautifully acted. The hall was filled to capacity, and I’m sure we can say the play from all points of view was one of the biggest successes in years. « When we are going to build a house using chemicals.

We now have thirty-six bright students in our class. Our rings, the designs of which are plain gold, black onyx with a gold crest, blue spinel with the gold crest, and others ruby with the gold crest, ar- rived in March, and all were much pleased with them. The numeral, 1941, is engraved on each side of the ring, and the crest is especially beautiful with a large “S” in the center with “Sumner” engraved below it. SOPHOMORE CLASS First roiv: E.

SOPHOMORE DRAMA The Sophomore Drama entitled “Aunt Hetty” was presented on March 1 in the school hall. The entire cast played their parts in an excellent manner. The play centers about Sally, a young girl, who planned to have a house party at Parker Lodge. After many of the guests had arrived the phone rang announcing the coming of cranky, old “Aunt Hetty” for a week’s visit. Every- body just knew that the party would be a flop because “Aunt Hetty” was such a kill-joy. Soon after Sally received a message calling her to town to stay over night. This left Sally’s brother Ted and the gang to entertain “Aunt Hetty.” Toots, played by Isabelle Pierson, tried her best to please the old Aunt. Later on Ted was called over to a neighbor’s house. The gang de- cided they couldn’t have “Aunt Hetty” there for the party so by dressing up as a gypsy and a maid, Dorothy and Irene hoped they might scare “Aunt Hetty.” Not until a ghost appeared did “Aunt Hetty” really become fright- ened. Light Fingered Louie, a mysterious character, added to the excitement. “Aunt Hetty” turned out to be Sally in disguise, and Light Fingered Louie, Ted. 20 THE ECHO FRESHMAN CLASS First row: I.

This seemed to work out much better than having first and second teams, for the girls had a very successful year. Dorothy and Doris Morgan and Irene Alarble made their share of the baskets. Annella Card and Barbara Iveson did exceptionally well playing, when one considered their handicap of being so much shorter than their op- ponent. Marjorie Smart, Marie Smith, and Clara Colburn made up the three guard combination. Other guards who saw action were Ruth Weatherby, May Eaton, Audrey Smart, and Pauline Albonetty. Guards were plentiful, while forwards were scarce. While we didn’t win all our games, we did win enough to be able to be proud of this year’s team. This year we lose a few of the more experienced girls: Dorothy and Doris Morgan, Marie Smith, Barbara Iveson, and also our manager and time-keeper, Geraldine Kelly and Nancy Cook. But to replace these we have new mem- bers who look promising and undoubtedly many freshmen will appear at practice. GIRLS’ GYM SQUAD First row: J, Boles, A, Cote, A. Card, C. Bagley, A. Bestoso, E.

THE ECHO 25 GYM There was a good response to the Boys’ and Girls’ Gym Squads this year in spite of the fact that we only have our annual Demonstration as an incentive. While many of the larger schools have Gym teams, we do not find any in our class to compete with. The annual Demonstration held April 5 was very well attended, and the squads did some excellent work. The cup for the best all-around work among the girls was won by Betty Jennings. Second place by Annella Card, and third place by Charlotte Bagley. Alice Bestoso won the Freshman award. In the boys’ competition Richard Quincy did some fine work to win the trophy; Harry Spieler placing second, and John Haggai third; Gordon Neal taking first place in the Freshman competition. The boys entered in the Massachusetts State Gym Meet held at Braintree, and Quincy won third place for us. Lynn English won first; Braintree, sec- ond; and Sumner, third which is very good considering the difference in size and facilities of the schools. Later in the season the combined Squads enter- tained a group from Boston under Mr. E. Koening instructor at B. U. and Fitchburg. The girls’ squad was very large this year, and the competition was very keen and close. The boys will feel the loss of Spieler and Quincy, and the girls will feel the loss of Betty Jennings, but with the aid of the new mem- bers next year we should see another creditable squad.

For the second successive year Sumner played in the annual South Shore Tournament. Sumner fans enjoyed every bit of the type of aggressive play displayed by this year’s squad. Much credit should go to Coach Naverouskis whose untir- ing efforts have made the season a success. Vlurdock, Vlack, and Megley kept Sumner in many games with their fine offensive play, while Jones, Mann, and Paul played brilliantly defensively. Congratulations to all, especially to Mur- dock, Mack, and Vlegley who will be lost through graduation. THE ECHO 27 BASEBALL First row: J. Behan, C; H. Megley, LF ; P. Hammond, P; R. Finlay, P; R.

BASEBALL Sumner’s Baseball Team has looked most impressive in the games which it has played. Its great infield with Paul at third and the fast double play com- bination of Williamson and Quincy along with Murdock at the initial sack have provided many sparkling plays. The outfield of Megley, George, and Jones have teamed up with the infield to make an enviable defensive team. Behind the bat Sumner has its dependable catcher, Behan, who is a great help to the pitchers. Sumner’s one weakness at present seems to be the pitching staff although Hammond, Mack, and Finlay have done their best to win. To off set this pitching weakness, Sumner batsmen have packed great power at the plate. Consolation for Seniors Don’t worry if your jokes are small — And your rewards are few.

STUDENT COUNCIL For its second year the Student Council was organized to help finance sports and help in the management of school affairs with membership as follows: four seniors, three juniors, one sophomore, one freshman. The officers elected were chairman, Ruth Johnson; secretary, Virginia Koeppel; treasurer, Sulo Nihtila. Representatives from the various clubs were added as advisers, and Miss Elna Knutson became a faculty adviser. Mr. Garland Neal continued as faculty adviser. Class elections were conducted by the Council similar to town elections. The first activity of the year was the annual bean supper which was a success. Quite some profit came from a magazine drive spon- sored by the Council. The sale of tags for recess dancing was enjoyable to the .students and not for profit. At the April conference of the Southeastern Division of Massachusetts Student Councils held at Durfee High School, Fall River, Miss Elna Knutson, Ruth Johnson, Annella Card, Mason Colby, Charles Mann, and Sulo Nihtila represented Sumner. This year the Student Council wore ribbons for ushering at school activities and awarded an Honor Room Banner to the neatest and best maintained room in the high school. 30 THE ECHO GLEE CLUB First row: E.

GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club, about sixty-two in number, started this year’s work in September with Miss Margaret Murphy as conductor and Stewart McKay as student accompanist. The Club often took part during the year in as- semblies. At the annual “Spring Concert” held in the school hall, April 11, the girls sang three selections: “Lift Thine Eyes,” “Hansel and Gretel Prayer,” and “Allah’s Holiday.” Throughout the year many members have taken part in various school assemblies. The Club attended the annual Mayflower Association Spring Concert at Marshfield on the Morning of May 4. The concert was enjoyed by all the members. The girls repeated two of the selections from the concert. All in all the meeting was another grand experience for the members of the Glee Club. At the Senior graduation music was furnished by the Glee Club. At the end of the season, the girls enjoy their picnic at some beach and amusement center to complete their year’s work. L. Keller THE ECHO 31 CLUBS THE ASSOCIATION This association is one of the many convenient beneficial enterprises offered by our high school. The pupils who belong pay ten cents a week to rep- resentatives in their respective home rooms. Those pupils can then attend all sport occasions, several dances, movies, and obtain a year book free of charge. By doing this the pupil saves several dollars a year. It brings more peo- ple to school functions and provides a means for more movies and dances. This year the members paid S3. 20 and received in return $4.60. FRENCH CLUB At the first meeting of the French Club, Corinne Terrazano was elected presi- dent. On Wednesday, December 20, a Christmas party was held at the close of school in the assembly hall under the supervision of Miss Bartlett of the faculty. A program was as follows: A French play “Les Etrennes” with Mason Colby and Corinne Terrazano as a young married couple discussing their Christmas presents; a dialogue in French given by John Haggai who took the part of a doctor and Stewart McKay as his patient; Phyllis Wil- son’s song in French. After these proceedings, gifts were exchanged. This was followed by refreshments. The Freshman Latin class was invited, and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all. This year the club is planning to make scrapbooks containing letters from France, poems, newspaper items and illustrated pictures based on France and French life. These will be shown on exhibition night. Other work for exhi- bition will also be done by the different French classes. In June the club is planning an outing to some beach. ORCHESTRA The Sumner High School Orchestra for 1939-1940 is composed mostly of last year’s members. Besides giving a creditable performance at the Annual Spring Concert, the orchestra has appeared at school assemblies, and at a Parent Teachers’ Association Meeting which was held at Brookville, and will play at the Senior and Junior High Graduations. None of the members will graduate this year, and Miss Margaret Murphy, the director, hopes to continue her fine progress next year. The members are Violins: Walter Pawlowski, Eileen Mangott, Eleanor Kennedy, Helen Mackie, Audrey Smart; flute: Donald McKay; saxophones: Arnold Soule, Victor Hogan; trombones: George Hagerty, Stewart McKay; trumpets: Paul Mitchell, Barbara Smart; drums: Richard Croft; and piano: Marie Mack. 32 THE ECHO PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club was started in November with fifteen members on the roll. John Towns was the student instructor with Howard Nason and James Williams assisting. The members are as follows: Joseph Mahoney, president: Walter Donovan, vice-president; Theodore Haggai, treasurer; Raymond Vin- cent, secretary; Richard Jennings, V alter V allace, George Johnston, Clarence Williams, Edward Joughlin, Joseph Joughlin, Robert Purchase, James Rich- ardson, Harold Packard, V alter Meins, and Harry Davis. The club bas been very active this year, and the members have learned to develop films, to print and enlarge pictures, to do oil coloring of photographs, and to do indoor portraiture. Several illustrated lectures from Eastman Kodak Company have been secured, and these proved to be extremely helpful. Many of the mem- bers have purchased their own outfits and are processing and even enlarging at home. All the members wish to express their sincere gratitude to jMr. Hodge, the faculty adviser, for his much needed help. THE DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club is a club for dramatic work and consists of the follow- ing members: Lillian Gorton, President; Jean Hollis, Mary Eaton, Clara Col- burn, Secretary-Treasurer; Hilda Terrazano, Audrey Smart, Stacia Cz apla, Barbara Iveson, Ruth Weatherby, Marie Smith, Shirley Cook, and Catherine Mosesso. The Dramatic Club meets every V ednesday with Mr. Naverouskis as ad- viser. At each meeting this work involves the acting of the different paces of every day life. Since 1938 the dramatic club has grown into a most success- ful group. Part of the dramatic club’s work is assisting in the various en- tertainment assemblies of the school year. Work now has begun on a one- act play, “Buried Treasure.” The girls who take part in this club put their work ahead of their play, thus giving some excellent work. PHYSICS CLASS OUTINGS The Physics class, accompanied by Mr. Hodge, went on three sight-seeing trips which proved not only enjoyable but educational. The first trip was to the East Boston Airport and the Ford Plant in Som- erville. At both places the whole group saw the makings of airplanes and automobiles and seemed very much interested in both. The second trip was to the Charlestown State Prison and Bunker Hill Monument. At the prison many interesting things were revealed to us. The climb up the monument was quite an experience for most of us, and we thought it worth the climb to say we had been up the monument. The last trip was a baseball game at Fenway Park to see the Red Sox play. THE ECHO 33 First row: B. Iveson, G. Kelley, C. Colburn, M. Smith, A. McLaughlin. Second row: C.

At the first League Meeting it was voted that the League delegates meet in Sumner High School for the May meeting. Preparations for our meeting were made through- out the year. A new paper, “Snoops and Scoops” was published and w as supported quite well by the student body. The proceeds went towards the publishing of the year book. A Sadie Hawkins Dance was held May 3 in which the whole Staff took part decorating and entertaining. The proceeds paid for the banquet at the League Meeting. The editors of the various departments attended the three League Meet- ings and brought back interesting reports. Some of the suggestions were very helpful to the rest of the Staff. Advertisements were obtained from the business men of the town for the year book. The business men were willing to support us. The members of the Staff entered into the work of publishing the year book very well. It is quite evident that the Staff of the Echo had a very successful year. THE ECHO 35 LEAGUE MEETINGS The Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publications held four meetings this year: in October at Middleboro, in January at Weymouth, in March at Stoughton, and in May at Holbrook. At each meeting welcomes were given the delegates by the principals and superintendents of the entertaining schools. The usual departmental meet- ings were held, and as usual very delicious and enjoyable suppers were served. Addresses heard at these meetings were by Mr. John Sweeney, District News Reporter, (October) ; Mr. Arthur Sampson, sports writer for a Boston newspaper, (January); Mr. Lewis Marcy of the United Press, (March); Miss Susan Meara, librarian of the Boston American, Record and Advertiser; and Mr. Thomas Buckley, former state auditor and associated with the Quincy Ledger, (Holbrook). The entertainments for the delegates were varied. At Middleboro dramas by the Dramatic Club, at Weymouth musical selections, at Stoughton drama and pantomime, and at Holbrook xylophone and accordion selections, also a movie “News on the Air.” At all four meetings the evenings concluded with an hour or two of dancing. At the final meeting, which Holbrook was delighted to have charge of, the new officers for the coming year were elected. Mr. Kean, chairman of the advisory board of the League, gave pins to the retiring officers. BOOK REVIEW Title: “What We Didn’t See!” Author: Nancy Cook. Setting: Place — Holbrook, Boston, Somerville.

The decora- tions were in charge of Eleanor Baker, Jean Hollis, Shirley Howard, John Haggai, and Windsor Hollis. The music was furnished by Art Davis and his orchestra and was very enjoyable. In the grand march, led by Harry Spieler and Marie Mack, novelty hats were given to each person. Special dances were held throughout the evening, among them the Virginia Reel, prize waltz, and cut-in dance. There was some close competition between the McKinnon brothers during the prize waltz, but finally Leo won out with Muriel Quincy. Refreshments were served by the lunch room girls.

Chaperons for the evening were Miss Elna Knutson, Miss Kathryn Megley, and Mr. Garland Neal of the faculty. w A girl who works in a candy shop stands 5 ' 5 high and wears 5 shoes.

Chaperons for the evening were Miss Knutson, Mr. Hodge, and Mr. Naverouskis. A teacher was trying to demonstrate a simple experiment in the genera- tion of steam. “V hat have I in my hand?” he asked. “A tin can,” was the answer. “Is the can an animate or inanimate object?” “Inanimate.” “Exactly. Now can any boy tell me how, with the can, it is possible to generate a surprising amount of speed, and powder almost beyond control?” One little boy raised his hand. “You may answer, William.” “Tie it to a dog’s tail.” « Did you know that Batson Belfry just invented a device which enables people to look thru walls? Well, he did — a window! Since you’re building a subway and it won’t be ready for a year, I guess I can’t wait that long. I’ll take a taxi. i ' MMMMa’ THE ECHO THANK YOU The Echo Staff of 1940 appreciates the support of the faculty, the fellow students, the subscribers, and adver- tisers.
