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 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.

THE ECHO 27 BASEBALL First row: J. Behan, C; H. Megley, LF ; P. Hammond, P; R. Finlay, P; R. Quincy, 2B; A. Murdock, IB. Second row: B. Smith, manager; C. George, CF ; H. DeMars, P; A. Levansie. 3B; F. Mack, P; P. Jones, RF; W. Williamson, SS; E. Paul, 3B; H. Spieler, 2B; John Walsh, coach. 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.
