THE ECHO 7 HISTORY By Catherine Mosesso It was on a morning in September of 1938 that this class entered the portals of Sumner High School. The class was divided into two groups, the college in Miss Knutson’s room and the commercial in Mr. Naverouskis’s room. Our first big event was a class meeting. The officers elected at this meeting were: presi- dent, Allan Jones; vice-president Shirley Cook; secretary, Catherine Mosesso; and treasurer, Anne Smith. Some of the members entered the gym squad, orchestra, and other clubs. Time marched on, and the group became more accustomed to so many rooms and so many teachers. Friends were made with the Brookville classmates. The rest of the year proved uneventful, and all found themselves looking forward to becoming sophomores. 1939 found the class sophomores, no longer bashful freshmen. In the first class meeting held in November a slight change was made in the election of officers: president, Chester Ignatowitz; vice-president, Shirley Cook; secretary, Catherine Mosesso; and treasurer, Anne Smith. During the course of the year was presented the annual sophomore drama, the name of which was “Aunt Hetty.” The cast in the play was composed of the following: Phyllis Wilson, Elaine Megley, Chester Ignatowitz, Walter Donovan, Stacia Czapla, Isabelle Pierson, Charles Mann, and Catherine Mosesso. Miss Marcia Bartlett was the coach. Before the year was over Geraldine Ferbert, Allan Jones, Robert Town- send, Gertrude Higgins, Virginia Brindley left Sumner, but Louis Gill came and went during the year. The class was now joyously happy to reach the half way mark in high school. 1940. Back to school again, but this time as those quite important juniors. Again this year changes were made — president, Allan Jones; vice-president, Shirley Cook; secretary, Isabelle Pierson; and treasurer, Anne Smith. A more active part was taken in the social life of the school. The Junior Prom was held May 23. It was a great success both socially and financially. Everybody had a grand time while he danced to the music of the Esquires. Remember them? This was a great year because this was the year in which were bought class rings. Some bought the blue spinel, others bought black onyx, and still others bought the plain gold. Oh, you can’t tell now because they have changed hands some- what. On coming back to school, the class missed Joseph Fitzpatrick, and toward the middle of the year was lost Isabelle Pierson, Donald Hanney, Donald Keating, Norma Blood, and Charles Mann. Allan Jones returned and also Marjorie Smart. Soon the end of this year came, and an air of superiority was started in the closing of the junior year. 1941 and back in September for the last year in school. All returned as dignified seniors. At the first class meeting something was done that no other class had ever done. A girl was elected for president! ! That shows that this class couldn’t get along without girls! ! The president is Shirley Cook; vice-presi- dent, Elaine Megley; secretary, Catherine Mosesso; and treasurer, for her fourth year, Anne Smith. On November 7, the senior dance was held. Everyone had a grand time dancing to the music of the Arms Plaza orchestra. Then came the senior drama on December 19. This brought a large crowd and was a
