Pauline Kelley, Grace McCarthy, Beverly Orcutt, and Phyllis Taylor ably represented their classmates in the student government organization. An assembly under the direction of Miss Anna Damon was pres- ented by the class on December 20, 1945 in honor of the Christmas season. Class rings, which had been ordered during the sophomore year, were received on September 15. The outstanding event of the year was the Junior Prom of May 4, a success both financially and socially. The hall was beautifully and originally decorated. Members of the faculty and the school commit- tee, the superintendent, and parents of the juniors were present. The juniors were escorts to the seniors on their Class Day, June 4, and at graduation, June 12.

18 THE ECHO Miss Kathryn Megley, coach ; A. Winkley, R. Smith, S. Mal- colm, T. Veale, C. Dyer, R. Lucas, T. Mack, D. Robertson, G. Clifford. SENIOR DRAMA “Miss Jimmy,” the most successful play ever to make its debut at Sumner, was presented by the Senior Class on December 15, under the direction of Miss Kathryn Megley. The action began when Jimmy (Thomas Veale) was forced by his fraternity brothers to enter Brier Mountain College for Women in search of a girl’s dress to wear in an initiation stunt. When the girls captured Jimmy, they decided to make his fraternity brothers escort them to the prom. Jimmy tried to escape by posing as “Miss Jimmy” in Louise’s dress. Jimmy was found out but promised to bring in his fraternity brothers for the dance while he chose to escort Louise (Dorothy Robertson). Louise’s college chums were Shirley Malcolm, Ruth Lucas, Ruth Smith, and Charlotte Dyer, while Geraldine Clifford played the char- acter part of Miss Watkins. Therese Mack, as Pansy, the colored janitor, moved about as fast as a snail that isn’t in a hurry. Arthur Winkley, as Professor Frazer, brought down the house with his cultivated English accent. The comedy was acclaimed as a great success, and a full house was loud in praise of the actors, actresses, and director.

SOPHOMORE CLASS President Theodore Veale Vice-President Barbara Smith Secretary Virginia Robertson Treasurer Priscilla Hobart The Scphomore Class still holds to its boast that it is the best class ever to enter Sumner. During the year the class lost William Grant to the Navy. Rich- ard Berg, Herbert Markie, Phillip Tibbetts, and Richard Miles also left the class. Paul Sturgeon joined the class in September but later left. Andrew Card rejoined the class after a year at Thayer Academy while Barbara Bowen entered from Brockton and Blanche Tison from Kingston. Although the boys did not go out for basketball, two of the girls, Marian Morgan and Barbara McGaughey, added their talent to the girls’ team. The boys were represented on the baseball squad. The biggest event of the year was the Sophomore Dance which was held on December 1, 1944. The music was furnished by “Don” Leach’s six-piece orchestra and the decorations were based on the theme of “Toyland.” This dance, which was the first sponsored by the class since it entered high school, was acclaimed one of the best of the year.
