The officers elected were chairman, Stacia Czapla; secretary, Ruth Andrew; treasurer, Hilda Terra- zano. Representatives from the various clubs were added. Miss Elna Knutson and Mr. Garland Neal continued as faculty advisers. At the fall conference of the Southeastern Division of Massachusetts Student Councils held at Abington High School, Mr. F. Eldred Hodge, Helen Mackie, and Helen McIntosh repre- sented Sumner. Class elections were conducted by the Council in a fashion similar to the town elections. A fairly successful magazine drive was sponsored by the Council. After a great deal of discussion the Council approved the wear- ing of slacks by the girls. Various other activities were sponsored, and an Honor Room Banner was awarded each marking period to the neatest and best maintained room in the high school.

Air-raid drills have been held, the shortest one taking only two minutes. Mrs. Eva Sullivan, the district nurse, and Miss Mae Mason, the school nurse, conducted a home nursing course. Miss Helen Krone took charge of the knitting. Many boys have gone to the fire-tower after school to spot airplanes. William Shallies, Walter Grant, Harold Ross, Robert Keller, Alan Higgins, Wilfred Mackie, Frederick Winslow, Arnold Soule, James Rudd, Melvin Iveson, Irving Swensen, and Francis Thomas, are among the boys doing this very necessary defense work. The stretchers used at the First Aid courses given in the town were made by the craft class under the direction of Mr. Garland L. Neal, principal of the high school, and Mr. Wade Hooker of the junior high.

Every month the Snoops and Scoops have been issued faithfully among the classes dedicating each issue to different classes and the basketball team. The same staff of the year book has worked on this paper. The Snoops and Scoops has been a great success with the Junior High help. Our editor, Elaine Megley, should be given praise for her fine work as editor. She has endeavored to make our school paper and year book a great success. The business manager, Elizabeth Card, also has worked very hard and has kept the books in perfect order. The typists have worked both faith- fully and earnestly on the Snoops and Scoops and the Echo. They have put in a great many tedious hours, but through their effort the papers have been successful. At the North Easton League Meeting, the Echo Year Book of 1941 received an award for the best year book of the schools having a student body of 200 or less. This year we are endeavoring to hold that honor with our coming dition.
