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.

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.

26 THE ECHO S. M. L S. P. The South Eastern Massachusetts League of School l uhlicatious has been established for the past twenty-one years and conducts four meetings each year at various high schools belonging to the league. Delegates from each school attend these meetings securing necessary infor- mation to make its school paper or yearbook a success. At these meetings a supper and business meeting are held following the conferences. In the evening the school holding the meeting furnishes enjoyable programs. The 1941-1942 meetings have been at Bridgewater in October, Plymouth in January, and North Easton in March. Because of the present gas situation the Stoughton meeting which was to have been held in May was cancelled. Awards are made to schools publishing the best year book, the best news- paper, and the best magazine. This year the Echo Staff had the honor of accept- ing an award, the first prize of class A, schools under two hundred enrollment, for the Yearbook of ’41. The Echo Staff has belonged to the league for a long time and shall continue undoubtedly to be an active member always. SADIE HAWKINS ' DANCE The Echo Staff held its annual Sadie Hawkins’ dance on May 15. The hall was decorated cleverly with multi-colored streamers strung from the lights, and figures portraying characters from “Dog Patch” and “Daisy May” were put along the walls. The grand march was led by Catherine Mosesso and George Carter. Many novelty dances were enjoyed throughout the evening to the music of the Peloquin orchestra. The main feature of the evening was the prize waltz by Catherine Mosesso and Allen Jones. Mrs. W alter Severns, Miss Kathryn Megley, Miss Anna Damon, Mr. John W alsh and Mr. Eld red Hodge were present serving as chaperons. Lorrell Keller SNOOPS AND SCOOPS The Echo Staff since November has worked out four successful editions of Snoops and Scoops, the school newspaper. This year’s staff gathered in all the news and tid-bits, wrote them up, and labored over the mimeograph to give Sumner students all of the “latest.” The Christmas edition, issued on Decem- ber 1, 1941, was dedicated to the Seniors. Its main feature was the green cover drawn by Jean Hollis and painted in color with a holly wreath, Christmas candle, and carolers. The January issue, which came out the twenty-ninth of that month, had the “V” for victory theme and was dedicated to the Ereshmen. In this S7ioops and Scoops expanded to include two junior high pages. After a very successful season the Sumner basketball teams received the February dedication. This issue came out February nineteenth with the Sumner bulldog on front and reflecting the excitement of that time. On April second the Easter edition was issued dedicated to the illustrious Junior Class and announcing the Junior Prom. Besides its Easter bonnet cover it featured poetry by the seniors. During the year Snoops and Scoops sold 754 copies at five cents each and profited S19.36 — not to count the staff’s experience and the school’s pleasure.
