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

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.

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.
