Twenty came from Brookville, forty-eight from Holbrook. Hence it had to he made into three divisions. The college class was supervised by Miss Knutson, the two commercial classes by Mr. Hodge and Mr. Naverouskis. These freshmen boys and girls always have been willing to cooperate iti all of the school activities. They have entered the gym, the basketball squad, the glee club, and the photography club. Marjorie Morgan was elected class treasurer, hut because of a severe acci- dent that she had, Marjorie was compelled to miss school this year so Betty Hayden was selected to take her place. The year closes for the Class of 1944 with a membership of 69 and with pleasant thoughts of being next year’s sophomores.

THE ECHO 21 Sophomore Play First Row: E. Card, H. Macintosh, A. Mann, .M. Lyons. Second Row: B. Putt, Miss Marcia Bartlett, Coach, B. Simmons. SOPHOMORE DRAMA BY CANDLELIGHT The Sophomore Class presented “By Candlelight”, which was coached hy Miss Marcia Bartlett of the faculty, on March 28. It was an amusing story about a group of elderly ladies in a home for women, with their petty jealousies and funny incidents. The main character, a former actress getting herself fitted for the stage, was portrayed by Elizabeth Card. The other women at the house were Alma Mann, Helen McIntosh, Patricia Donovan, Madeline Lyons, Barbara Simmons, and Betty Putt; all played their part well. The play, very well done, was enjoyed by a large audience. SOPHOMORE DANCE The sophomore class sponsored a very successful record hop on February 7, 1941. An interesting variation of dances had been arranged by Janet Bolles, Paul Mitchell, John Thayer, Audrey Smart, Lois Tilton, and Eleanor Finne- gan of the dance committee. It was fun for everyone.
