HOME ECONOMICS Two classes of Home Economics of two periods each were part of a three year course in the school program beginning September, 1943. Those who have had one year of Home Economics are juniors. The other class consists of five sophomores and eight seniors. First year students learn the fundamental food groups, how to plan a well balanced diet, and how to cook and serve such a meal. The second year includes the study of household equipment, furnishings and their care. It also stresses the value of proper nutrition, the cuts of meat, the buying and preservation of foods, and table service. The seniors have served four dinners which have been planned and cooked for parents and teachers. A special banquet was served to the school committees and wives from Randolph, Avon and Holbrook. Refreshments have been served at Parents’ night by the sophomores. Several new items of equipment have been added to the Home Economics room during the year; this makes the work in this department much pleasanter and easier. It has been a successful year, and the various events have been enjoyable to all who have taken part in them. The classes are hoping for a bright future and further improvements for next year.

OFFICE GIRLS The office girls this year were Claire Cote, Avis Atwood, Marie Leitch, Jacque- line Ford, Alice Andrew, Barbara Ford, and Charlotte Dyer, with Miss Anna Damon as adviser. The girls spend one period a day in the office and their duties are many and varied, such as answering the telephone calls, receiving guests, and answer- ing correspondence. The work is not only enjoyable but gives a great deal of experience to any girl who plans taking up commercial work for her livelihood.

SNOOPS AND SCOOPS This year the Echo staff under the supervision of Miss Barbara Holden and Miss Grace McCarthy published five issues of “Snoops and Scoops.” The pur- chase of a new mimeograph facilitated work on the paper, and a successful year was enjoyed. The first issue distributed November 24, 1943, was dedicated to the Fresh- man Class. Charles Grover designed the cover which portrayed a shy Freshman entering the portals of our high school. The staff dedicated the Christmas issue, published December 17, to the teachers, “in appreciation of their efforts in helping us lay the foundations for our future.” Along with the usual coverage of Sumner news and gossip, this issue contained special Christmas articles and poems, with a Christmas cover drawn by Claire Haskins. February 14 the special basketball edition came off the press, dedicated to Coaches Grace McCarthy and Wade Hooker and their teams. This issue contained a novel cartoon by Betty Clark depicting the daily routine of a Sumner coed. The St. Patrick’s Day issue of “Snoops and Scoops” was dedicated to the teachers and pupils of Sumner Junior High, in recognition of the fine work they contributed to the magazine. Featured in this issue were a short story by Alice Keating, a “What would happen if — ” cartoon by Art Editor Barbara Hogan, and poetry by members of the Junior Class. The final issue of the year was dedicated, according to tradition, to the Seniors.
