8 THE ECHO CLASS DAY WELCOME By Richard Quincy Parents, members of the faculty, and friends, on behalf of the graduating class of 1940 it gives me the greatest pleasure to welcome you to our Class Dav. 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
