SNOOPS AND SCOOPS Three unusually fine editions of “Snoops and Scoops” were pub- lished this year under the supervision of Miss Barbara Holden and Miss Grace McCarthy. At the beginning of the year it was decided to increase the price from five to twenty-five cents per copy. The Thanksgiving issue, featured an “I Am Thankful For” page and also a page depicting Sumner styles. It contained, as did the other two, letters from Sumner alumni w T ho are now attending college or are in the service. On Valentine’s Day the students of Sumner received the second publication of the year. Among the many original articles w T ere “Things We Have in Common” (with Hollywood), “Orchids and Onions,” and a cartoon of Sumner basketball casualties. The final edition, the Easter one, contained Sumner students’ requests to the Easter bunny, an appropriate poem by Gloria Albee bordered by drawings of my lady’s Easter chapeau, and sketches of senior and junior fashions.

CHEER LEADERS Under Pauline Kelley ' s supervision and with the help of Miss Elna Knutson, cheerleading was off to a good start this year. The six girls diligently practiced in the laboratory each Tuesday afternoon and gradually built up enough cheers to keep the crowds busy. Student Council appropriated money for uniforms, but since none could be bought, royal blue skirts were made with the aid of the faculty and parents. These were worn with white sweatshirts. Special assemblies were held to teach the cheering sections the cheers, and during movie assemblies the girls were often called upon. They attended all the home games of the year and games at both Ran- dolph and Avon. With such a good start this year perhaps next year cheerleading will be an established activity that the school may be proud of.

GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club, composed of forty-seven members, started this year’s work in September with Miss Margaret Murphy as con- ductor and Elaine McIntosh as student accompanist. The Club often took part in assemblies during the year. At the annual Spring Concert held in the school hall April 13, 1945, the special group sang two selections: “Make Believe,” and “When I Grow Too Old to Dream.” The entire group sang “Rose Marie,” and “A Southern Melody,” the latter composed by Sumner’s talented pianist, Elaine McIntosh. Madel- ine Johnson and Joyce Whitaker delighted the audience with their rendition of “The Lilac Tree.” Graduation music was furnished by the Glee Club as well as music at the Baccalaureate Service.
