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.

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.

Early in the season Marian Morgan received a leg injury and was forced to resign, while a few weeks later Mary White, one of the star forwards, became very sick with a throat infection and was not able to finish the season. Beginning the season with only a few veterans, the team was unable to continue playing as a result of these losses. Miss Grace McCarthy, coach, and Pauline Kelley, manager, and members of the squad tried hard to keep a team together but in vain. The girls played four games, losing the Whitman game by one point, and the other three by larger scores. The leading scorer was Beverly Paul with 29 points, followed by Mary White with 26 points. The girls look forward to a more satisfactory season next year. Sumner 33 Sumner 25 Sumner 8 Sumner 11 Whitman 34 Avon 37 Avon 27 Howard 20
