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.

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 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.
