16 THE ECHO SENIOR DRAMA First ro ' w: R. Johnson, E. Baker, M. Clark, D. Morgan, B. Iveson, V. Koeppel. Second row: R. Quincy, S. Nihtila, Miss Kathryn Megley, Coach, C, George, J. Towns. SENIOR DRAMA LITTLE WOMEN This year “Little omen” was selected as the Senior Class Play, and it proved a very wise selection. 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. I’m going to build an igloo: frozen H-2 0. The Ocean said nothing to the Sky. It just waved.

THE ECHO 15 Sylvia gets this dime store watch, So that she may be on time. For if she’s not, the broth will scotch. And “hubby” will call it a crime, Murdock gets this picture book. He may glance at it when he has a fancy. Because if he takes a very good look, He’ll find the pictures are all of Nancy. To Nason we give this little clock. We hope that when he has a job. He’ll be on time to sell the stock. But don’t, we warn, let it wake up Bob. To Sulo we give this little hat To cover up his hair, For it is so superior It really isn’t fair, “Bill” is surely a wonderful jitterbug. He “stomps” and “pecks” just right. If he wants to keep on “cutting the rug,” He needs Wheaties to restore the ol’ fight. Helen will soon be running the store. And barrels of money she’ll make. To straighten up her daily score, Here’s a bank that she can take. Howard gets this difficult puzzle. He has so very much time to spare. We hope it keeps him all in a fuzzle. Keeps him so busy he’ll tear out his hair. This bright blue address book we give to “Dick,” He knows so many a girl. To remember them all would be a trick. They keep him all in a swirl. To Harry this book of jokes. He rea’ly is supreme. And when he’s on the radio. We know he’ll make folks scream. Eleanor’s one of the “Three Smart Girls,” And a hairdresser she will be. So here is a curler to make the curls. Permanents are had for a nominal fee. To Bruce we give this candy bar To add another yard. For if he should get thin and sleek, We’d lose our finest guard. Marie will use this gift we think, To write small notes with pen and ink. It’s just a habit now you see. Though someday she a writer may be. To Spieler we give this special brake To use upon his car. For when he’s driving out at night. He goes too fast and far. For Corinne Terrazano, our singing star. We give this music sheet. If she will study faithfully. She will be hard to beat. To Johnny we give this flashlight bulb. For we think he’s so good That with a little practice. He’ll land in Hollywood, We’re sure that “Tom” has a girl somewhere. But where we do not know. So here’s a dime for your carfare. Please tell us where you go. “Bob” likes to take motors apart. And so a mechanic he’ll be. Here’s a motor to give you a start. 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. I’d pull the plug out.

When school opened in September, we found that we had lost one stu- dent, Mary Emmet, who was married during the summer vacation, and after a month of school we lost Dorothy Chaplic but gained Thomas O’Connor who had left us in his Freshman year to go to Prince Edward’s Island. 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.
