SENIOR DRAMA The three-act mystery drama, ‘’Tricking Tricksters,” was presented to a hall filled to capacity on January 23 by the Senior Class of 1942. One moment was tense with excitement, the next relaxed with laughter with the following cast: Grandmother Gavin, Stacia Czapla, playing very true to character; Grandma’s clever secretary, Shirley Cook; Hazel Rogers, the clever jewel thief, Catherine Mosesso; Hazel’s accomplice, Chester Ignatowitz; the Irish cop, Walter Dono- van, an excellent piece of acting indeed; Grandma Gavin’s superstitious and imaginative maid, played and beautifully acted by Hilda Terrazano. The four granddaughters were played by Elaine Megley, practical granddaughter; Jean Hollis, carefree young miss; Beverly Higgins, charming girl of seventeen; Lor- rell Keller, lovesick granddaughter. This proved to be a very wise selection. Edwin Paul was a newspaper reporter and Mary’s boy friend, who proved to be quite humorous, in his clever costume of a sheet. The cast was well chosen by Miss Kathryn Megley of the faculty, who also coached the play. Miss Megley, as usual, gave up a great deal of her time, as did the members of the cast, for rehearsals of the play. From the number of tickets sold and from the favorable comments on the play, the Senior Class considers it a great success. Phyllis Wilson, who was the true granddaughter, Lucy Lee, did a very fine hit of acting, especially in her faint.

14 THE ECHO CLASS WILL By Marjorie Smart We, the members of the Senior Class of 1942, of Sumner High School, Town of Holbrook, County of Norfolk, State of Massachusetts, United States of America, being uncertain as to the frail life that we are living, do, therefore, make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. Article 7. To the Juniors we leave the school, the contents therein, includ- ing the teachers, the senior superiority, the dignity and good behavior, and the ever-dominating characteristic, good-naturedness, of that great class of 1942. Article 2. To the Junior Class we bequeath the outstanding ahilitv of the Senior Class as playwrites. Article 3. To the incoming seniors we bequeath the trials, troubles, and tribulations of where to go on a class trip, and how to get the money to go there. Article 4. To those lucky juniors we leave a year, or more, of sessions in Mr. Neal’s American History class. Article 5. To our principal, Mr. Neal, and other members of the faculty we leave our sincere thanks for the many tolerances shown us during our four years at Sumner, which we are sure at times were almost beyond your endurance. Article 6. All of the gum under the seats and desks we graciously bestow to Uncle Sam, for we know his love for rubber-like material. Article 7. Victor Hogan is left “Butch” Casperson’s knowledge of the back roads of Holbrook. Article 8 . To Phyllis Parry we leave Doris Estabrook’s perfect attendance, rain or shine, and hope that she may benefit by it. Article 9. To Shirley Malcolm we leave Phyllis Wilson’s ability to enter- tain at assemblies with her singing. Article 10. To Windsor Hollis we bequeath the swiftness of movement of his sister, Jean Hollis. Article 11. To Audrey Smart, I, Marjorie Smart, leave this thought: Early to bed and early to rise Will give the teachers a surprise. Don’t be tardy or they will yell; But if you hurry, you’ll beat the bell. Article 12. To any underclassmen, who will not weaken under the strain, we do hereby bequeath all of the unavoidable U’s, the pretty red marks on our report cards, the numberless make-up slips, and the hobby of collecting flunk notices that our notorious class managed to store away. We hope you will use them to good advantage. Article 13. We leave Walter Donovan’s calm, cool, and collected manner to Paul Mitchell. Those are truly senior merits. (Continued to page 34)

JUNIOR CLASS NEWS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Victor Hogan Elizabeth Card Alma Mann Madeline Lyons To tell vou the truth, the Junior Class has had a tough session of school this year. This has been the hardest, but all will agree it has been the most fun of any. The class made a wonderful representation in the world of basketball. It had that wit of all wits. Windy Hollis, in there pitching, that tall he-man t pe. Russell Chandler, with all his superb baskets, and that rushing tornado. Bill Bagley. The Junior Class served a “super-duper” lunch one day in the lunchroom on which was made approximately five dollars. And then that big event of all events, the Junior Prom on April tenth. It was a true statement that it was the most successful one in years. The hall was beautifully decorated with white calla lilies, a large basket of them being at each end of the hall. On the stage the Bay Staters gave a not-to-be-forgotten evening of music. The officers’ parents and the teachers were chaperons. The big event of the evening was the Grand March led by Victor Hogan, the president of the class. Virginia Beach was his partner. AH in all it was a wonderful Prom, and the Juniors are proud of it. To add to the juniors this year we have five newcomers, Muriel Berg, Dorothy Doble, James Given, and Albert and Enoch Lehtinen. Lots of luck to all of you.
