It was a large class with 58 members. Mr. Hodge had the rather doubtful pleasure of having the commercial pupils in his home room while Mr. Riley undertook the job of home room teacher for the college students. Before the first day had ended, all our books; Latin. Spanish, algebra, and many others had been passed out. and the seemingly endless avalanche of homework loomed menacingly over our heads each night until finally the clouds disappeared into the mists of our minds until the next night ' s assignment. Awed and respectful though we were when we en- tered. we soon outgrew this state. After all we were in high school. We were grown up now. or so we thought, although the upper classes did not agree with us in that. We didn’t let them bother us. especially since it was time to elect class officers. Being wise though young, we showed excellent judgment in elect- ing Elmer Wallster. president; Lilly Carlson, vice- president; Beverley Orcutt, secretary; Karl Anderson, treasurer; George Polisson and Robert Pawlowski, Student Council representatives. The class of 1 946 gave evidence of its school spirit, for several took up extra-curricular activities. Future basketball and baseball stars of Sumner started their careers then. Although this year they only played as substitutes. Karl Anderson. Hugh Smith, Robert Howland. Arthur Hedges did their job well and gave promise of future aid in helping Sumner win. The school paper. “Snoops and Scoops,” gained many new members, and several girls who joined the glee club took part in the annual spring concert. All this activity made the year pass quickly. Almost before we knew it. June had come, and our freshman year was over. As sophomores we returned in the fall, ready and willing to push the freshmen around in our turn. We found that we had lost a number of class mem- bers. Hugh Smith. Gerard Rogers, Thomas Gleason, and John Reardon entered Boston College High School; Marguerite O ' Brien and Arthur Hedges en- tered Thayer Academy; Helen Rimkus, Norma Wood- man. Richard Walsh. Bertha Sanfillippo, Joan Young- holm. and John Berg joined the ranks of the working world; and Henry Breault, Herbert Markie, William Proverb, and Lawrence Watkins left during the year and later joined the Navy. However, these losses were replaced somewhat by two boys who joined the class — William Locke from Quincy, and Edward Laurentz from Jamaica Plain. Class officers elected this year were Lilly Carlson, president; Elmer Wallster, vice-president; Beverley Orcutt. .secretary; Betty White, treasurer; and George Polisson and Robert Pawlowski, Student Council rep- resentatives. The first social affair of the cla.ss. a record hop, was held on March 3, 1944. Decorations were green and white to fit the occasion of St. Patrick’s Day. And our assembly! It was the talk of the school before and after the performance. It was a grand and glorious minstrel show with every member of the class taking part. Singing and dancing acts were given, and many numbers were sung by the chorus. The highlight of the show was the performance of Herbert Markie and Karl Anderson in burlesquing “Because You’re You.” Who could ever forget them? At one important class meeting the class colors and motto were chosen. After much debate, black and sil- ver for the colors and Try, Trust, Triumph” for the motto were chosen. In a flash of time, so it seemed, school had once more closed. Half our life at Sumner was over. With our two best years ahead of us we returned as juniors in September, 1944, to plan for the Junior Prom and to help the seniors with their graduation. Once again several had left the class. They were William Locke, Irene Loud, and Kenneth Hayden. Richard Nickerson later joined the Navy. Three girls were added this year — Julia Ohan and Mildred Tran- tor from Cambridge, and Anna Price from Quincy. This year Robert Pawlowski was chosen president, while Lilly Carlson was elected vice-president; Elaine McIntosh, secretary; and Betty White, treasurer. Being juniors, we were entitled to four representatives on the Student Council. They were Beverley Orcutt, Grace McCarthy, Pauline Kelley, and Phyllis Taylor. Early in the school year, the class rings, which had been ordered the previous year, arrived. These black and gold square rings were, and still are, worn proudly by the Class of 1 946. The Junior Prom, the big social event of the four years, was held May 5, 1945. The decorations were built around a large crystal ball suspended from the ceiling in the center of the hall. This reflected the lights and pale pink through deep fuschia streamers criss- crossing the hall. Dancing, to the music of the Swing Masters, was enjoyed by all. Financially as well as socially the affair was a decided success. The boys ' basketball team had a wonderful season this year losing only 4 out of 1 5 games. The two juniors on the team, Karl Anderson and Robert How- land. contributed greatly to the success of the team. An outstanding honor to these was a banquet given in Boston at the City Club by the School Committee. 8 THE ECHO 19 4 6 At the graduation exercises of the Class of 1945 Pro-Merito pins were awarded to Lura Files, Norma Hinckley, Marjorie Hollstein, Pauline Kelley, Grace McCarthy, Joan McGaughey, Elaine McIntosh, Bev- erley Orcutt, Robert Pawlowski, George Polisson, Phyllis Taylor, Mildred Tranter, Elmer Wallster, and Mary White. Grace McCarthy was awarded the Washington-Eranklin medal in history. School closed with all looking forward to the last year of school. Well, there we were! Seniors at last. Not all of us had returned though. Arthur Squires went to work, Rachael Sullivan to Boston, Roy Nelson to the Nor- folk County Agricultural School, Betty Clark to Thayer Academy, and Karl Anderson. Robert How- land became one more to enlist in the Navy, while Robert Taylor decided to be different and joined the Marines. Jane Rubin from South Dakota entered the class and during the year Charles Mann, discharged from the Navy, returned to complete his high school course. Senior class officers were Elaine McIntosh, presi- dent; Lilly Carlson, vice-president; Joan McGaughey, secretary; Mildred Tranter, treasurer; Beverley Or- cutt, Pauline Kelley, Betty White, Grace McCarthy, and Elmer Wallster, Student Council representatives. A Hallowe’en dance was held October 25 to raise money for the New York trip. The hall was decorated appropriately with witches and ghosts while a wish- ing well was placed in the center of the floor. This dance was a real success. The Senior Drama, “Anne of Green Gables,” was presented on December 14 before an enthusiastic audi- ence. Elaine McIntosh played the title role while twelve boys and girls assisted in making a grand suc- cess of the play. Many amusing incidents in the play provided a merry and entertaining evening for the audience who proved to be very favorably impressed critics. On January 23, the class attended a performance of Goldsmith’s play, “She Stoops to Conquer,” in Bos- ton. This trip was made in a chartered bus to and from Boston, which gave added pleasure. On Eebruary 15, a Senior Prom, something new for Sumner, was held, the decorations being the red and white Valentine colors. Prank Peluccio’s orches- tra was considered one of the best ever to play at a school affair. This was one of the nicest parties ever held at Sumner. Beverley Orcutt was elected DAR representative of the class. She attended the annual meeting and banquet at the Copley Plaza on March 27, and had a very pleasant time although she was not the lucky winner of the bond. She also attended a luncheon in May given by the Massachusetts chapter of the DAR. This year the girls’ basketball team made a grand showing, winning 14 out of 16 games. They were given a banquet at the Boston City Club by the School Committee, and one in Randolph by the Rotary Club. Beverly Paul, Betty White, and Anna Price were the seniors on the team. Because it was impossible to get reservations in April, the New York trip was postponed until May. Mrs. Roy Eisher very kindly sponsored a bridge and whist party for the benefit of the class on April 24. The proceeds from the party were used for the trip to New York. At seven o’clock on the morning of Pri- day. May 10, in a chartered bus, 31 seniors and their three chaperons left Sumner High School. Miss Eleanor Pegnam, Miss Dorothy Dunbar, and Miss Kathryn Megley were the lucky teachers who accom- panied the class to New York. While in New York the class stayed at the Piccadilly Hotel. They shopped, rode in an upstairs bus, went on the Television Tour in Radio City, saw New York from the top of the Empire State building, climbed the Statue of Liberty, and saw two theater performances — “Hats Off to Ice,” at the Center Theater, and the Rockettes in Radio City Music Hall. They dined at a smorgasbord, at an automat, at the “Brass Rail,” “Toffenetti’s,” Stouf- feur’s,” and the “Town and Country.” Because of being in New York on Sunday, the class attended church, some going to Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, others to the church where the famous preacher. Rev. Harry Posdick, presides. The final activities of this illustrious class of 1946 were; Baccalaureate, June 2; Class Day, June 4; and Graduation, June 6. 9 THE ECHO 19 4 6 W ' c. the members of the Class of 1946. of Sumner High School. Town of Holbrook. Massachusetts. being uncertain as to the frail life we arc living, do therefore ordain, publish, make, and declare this to be our last will and testament. Item 1 — The Senior Class leaves to the teachers the pleasant memories of the Class of 1 946. Item 2 — The Senior chemistry class leaves to Miss Dorothy Dunbar peace and quiet. Item 3 — The math classes leave to Miss Elna Knutson a pleasant little cottage by the sea called “After- math.” Item 4 — The history class leaves to Mr. Neal Room 14 for his future history classes. Item 3 — The Senior Class of Room 9 leaves to Miss Kathryn Mcglcy all the good gum that has gone into her wastebasket. Item 6 — The class leaves to the janitors all the pencil marks, pen marks, shoe marks, ink spots, and all the gum and stray pieces of clothing found about building; also desks to be cleaned and seats to be adjusted. Item 7 — The Senior Home Economics Class leaves their deliciously prepared lunches. Item 8 — To the juniors, the seniors leave the right to have full control over the school next year, the honor, the prestige, and the dignity upheld by the brilliant class of 1946, all the pleasant things that go with being a senior, the good behavior of the seniors and their ability to study, and not least of all good old Room 9 and all therein. Item 9 — To the spohomores. the class leaves its good ideas, good nature, and sincere hopes that they will profit thereby. Item 10 — It leaves to the freshmen its initiative to help them out in their three more years of hard work. Item 1 1 — It leaves to the incoming freshmen class the ability to progress and become the next-to-the-best class ever to pass through the portals of dear Sum- ner High, also the use of our books for four long years of work. Item 12 — The senior history classes leave to the in- coming history class their ability to give opinions and avoid committing themselves, also radio com- mentator, Mr. Cedric Foster of the Yankee Network News Service. 1 hen there are a few individual bequests: Anna Price leaves her corner .seat to anyone who wants to whisper occasionally, and her knack of jitter- bugging to any junior girl willing to spend her energy. George Polisson leaves his brilliancy in math to Albert Marcus. Edward Laurentz, who is going to answer the “Call of the Wild” the first chance he gets, bequeaths his love of nature to Sonny Wright. Elaine McIntosh bequeaths her piano technique to Helen Ellis. Rudolph Mosesso and Ralph Colby leave the honor of being safe and sane drivers to Robert Estabrook and Allie Richardson. Millie Tranter and Phyllis Taylor leave their office experience to the junior girls. George Wagner leaves his struggle to get 82 points to any unfortunate freshman. Ruth Hooker bequeaths her quiet, serene, and peaceful attitude to Priscilla Hobart. Ralph Colby leaves his popularity with the girls to another Colby- — -John. Lura Files leaves her pep and vigor as cheer leader to those who follow. Rita Mathews leaves her list of boy friends to some incoming senior girl. Mildred Tranter leaves her singing ability to any likely candidate in the Junior Class. Beverly Paul, Mary White, and Anna Price leave their basketball superiority to the girls on the team. We attest this be a true copy of the last will and final testament of the Senior Class of Sumner High School, Holbrook, Massachusetts, this 4th day of June in the year of our Lord, One Thousand, Nine Hundred and Forty-six.

It is a surprise to learn, isn ' t it. that in twenty years. Holbrook has so far surpassed Boston that it has been made the capital of Massachusetts. During this twenty-year period I. Norma Hinckley, have led an interesting life going from city to city, and from country to country sketching celebrities; consequently. I have been looking forward to this day to have the opportunity of sketching some of the notables from Sumner ' s Class of 1946. This great event is the spectacular trip to the moon by a super-jet rocket plane, designed by that world- famous mechanic. Rudolph Mosesso. and piloted by Elmer Walster. known from coast to coast for his daring and skill in testing all kinds of aircraft. Both these men. if you remember, were graduates of the Sumner High School in the year 1946. The take-off is scheduled for two o ' clock in the afternoon from the huge Holbrook Air Base. The construction of this base was made possible by the financial support of those two multi-millionaires. Phyllis Burdick and Eleanor Mann. Elaine McIntosh, the first woman president of the United States, is the main speaker of the day at this memorable occasion made possible by her two old classmates. Accompanying Elaine are her three per- sonal secretaries, Mildred Tranter, Phyllis Taylor, and Rita Mathews. Elmer ' s month ' s supply of food, which is reported to have come from all quarters of the world, was pre- pared under the leadership of such experts as Ruth Hooker. Etta Bettencourt, and Evelyn Mann who invented that delicious concoction. Spaghetti Fricasse, back in I960. I regret to say. however, that the success of these food experts has brought about many gastronomical disturbances in the country. But this has helped out Julia Ohan, who now has a rushing Bromo Seltzer business at her pharmacy located at the corner of Snell and Main Streets. Things are beginning to happen. I now see George Polisson, roving reporter from Station SHS, with his portable mike, interviewing the many famous celebrities and personalities present. George, by the way. has gained the Pulitzer Prize and world fame for trisecting an angle. There is Jane Rubin, concert violinist, just returned from a tour in Europe. George Wagner, true to his 1946 form, makes his customary wise crack into the mike. George, Paramount’s big- gest find since Bob Hope, has just completed “Road to Brookville with Nancy Meins and Lura Files sharing opposite leads. Nancy expertly plays the part of the innocent heroine while Lura nearly captured the Academy Award by her portrayal of the bewitch- ing “other woman.’’ Eddie Laurentz, widely known forest ranger, who. out West, has kept forest fires at a record minimum, speaks to the listening world. The crowd makes room as Professor Charles Mann and teacher Grace McCarthy herd their pupils nearer the plane, explaining to them the details of this mar- velous invention. As I stand here gazing at the thousands of people thronging around the plane. I see a rather muscular woman approaching. She is so deeply tanned I can’t recognize her. Why, it ' s Joan McGaughey, who, tir- ing of eastern life, owns and manages a cattle ranch in Texas. A sudden hush falls on the crowd as Miss Beverly Paul, ultra-successful model for the Powers-Colby Modeling Agency, steps forward to christen the plane. Ralph Colby, some years back, it seems, convinced John Powers that he needed a partner and has never regretted it. The bottle of champagne, which Miss Paul so gracefully holds, came from the exclusive Drug- Market-Champagne Store, a combination originated by those three brilliant partners, Robert Pawlowski, Richard Vincent, and Arthur Carter. Having been so prosperous in Holbrook, these young men have opened branches in other large cities, having in their employ Lilly Carlson, Audrey Haskins, and Anna Price as the outstanding, courteous managers. The moment the whole world has been waiting for is just about to arrive! Yes! It is a matter of sec- onds before Elmer Walster will take off on his daring flight. Miss Paul raises her arms and is about to crash the bottle. But what is this! There is a commo- tion in the crowd. Rev. Gladys Williams has fainted. This might have been a catastrophe but Dr. Beverly Orcutt, a famous surgeon, is there on the spot with her staff of nurses, Marjorie Hollstein, Jennie Czapla, Pauline Kelley, and Betty White. It is only a matter of seconds before Rev. Williams has completely recovered. Miss Paul, this time, successfully completes the christening. Elmer waves a last good-bye. With a hearty roar the plane leaps into the sky and disappears from sight leaving a joyous group of people milling around on this now even more famous Holbrook Air Base. 14 THE ECHO 19 4 6 FRONT ROW: Miss Kathryn Megley, Coach; L.

In the first place “Anne of Green Gables,” the play presented by the Senior Class on December 14, 1945, was a success both socially and financially. The High School audi- torium was filled to capacity, and a profit of over $ 1 00 was realized. Then there was the leading roles. Anne Shirley was efficiently handled by Miss Elaine McIntosh who was ably supported by Miss Mildred Tranter as Marilla Cuthbert, and Elmer Wallster as Mathew Cuthbert in the secondary roles. Elaine, our popular president, spent many hours memorizing her extremely long part. Mildred, our able treasurer, learned a part second only in length to that of the lead, and she put all her sternness into the role of Marilla. Elmer, our comedian, played the part of Mathew with far-reach- ing effects. And there then were such special minor parts as those of Mrs. Spencer, Josie Pye, and Minnie Steam. Julia Ohan as the short-winded Mrs. Spencer emitted very heart-rending gasps. We didn’t see much of Anna Price’s Josie Pye but every time we did see her, we howled. Pauline Kelley was very convincing as Minnie Steam, the unimaginative orphange matron who “just didn’t understand” the heroine. Other members of the Senior Class who displayed remarkable Thespian talents were Rudolph Mosesso as Gilbert, Anne’s admirer: Robert Pawlowski. Marilla’s long-lost lover: Beverley Orcutt, Mrs. Allen, the min- ister’s charming wife: Lura Files, Rachel Lynde, the town gossip: Nancy Meins, Anne’s “bosom friend,” Ralph Colby, Moody Spurgeon, a classmate of Anne’s, Grace McCarthy, head of the orphanage. Miss Kathryn Megley, the coach, and the entire cast spent much valuable time for rehearsals and their efforts were rewarded. 15 THE ECHO 1 Q 4 6 I ' RONT ROW: P. Hobart, M. Clinton, C.

We were unfortunate in the loss of Marian Morgan, now attending a school in Norwood; Paul Breault to the United States Marines; Doris Grindle, a student at Monmouth Academy in Maine; and Evelyn Cas- sani, Jean Matthews, and Russell Anderson. Members of the class are participating in most of the school ' s activities, being represented on the boys’ basketball team by Karl Anderson, who, although the lone Junior member, made such a name for himself that we may well be proud; and in girls’ basketball by Barbara McGaughey. Irene Loud, Blanche Tison, and Marjorie Skilling. Our cheerleader is Joyce Whitaker, who also did a very fine job. There are a number of Juniors on the boys’ baseball team and in the Girls’ Glee Club. The boys’ and girls’ gym squads, which performed at the exhibition at the Y. M. C. A. in April, had as their prides and joys six Juniors, namely; Irene Loud, Priscilla Chapman, Caryl Jor- ANDREWCARD MARJORIE SKILLING REGINA CREIGHTON ALBERT MARCUS gensen, Marjorie Skilling, Virginia Robertson, and James Calway. Looking out for our class and its inter- ests on the staff of the Snoops and Scoops and the Echo are Harold Lairweather, Marjorie Skilling, Joyce Whitaker, Barbara Smith, Andrew Card, Theodore Veale, Virginia Robertson, Catherine Dickinson, Blanche Tison, Helen Ellis, Priscilla Chapman, Mar- garet Clinton, and Barbara McGaughey. We also have several capable office girls, namely; Barbara Mc- Gaughey, Barbara Smith, Virginia Robertson, Regina Creighton, and Catherine Dickinson. Class rings, oval in shape and with onyx stones, were ordered in November and received on April 1, being proclaimed the prettiest ever seen. The biggest event of the year was the Junior Prom on May 3 with the music by Eddie Drew and his orchestra. With all the joys and responsibilities of our Junior year now being over, we are ready to return as Seniors, at long last, in the fall. Yes, we are going to be a rather small but an unforgettable Senior Class. 16 THE ECHO 19 4 6 FRONT ROW: R. Taylor, E, Cote. R. Murphy. W. Simmons. A. Wright. E. Anderson. SECOND ROW; A.

EDGAR CARLSON VICE-PRESIDENT PAULINE HADFIELD SECRETARY BARBARA CLINTON TREASURER HELENA CLIFFORD Returning to Sumner last September, the Sopho- more Class was sorry to learn that it had lost three members: Jean DeSousa, Douglas Smith, and Gloria Albee. However, it was happy to find Ronald Murphy, one of its former members, and Arthur Bar- ton from Hingham. Later in the year it welcomed Malcolm MacDonald and the return of Gloria Albee. Socially the year was uneventful but athletically the class was not surpassed. On the boys’ basketball squad were Robert Hollstein, Charles Dickinson, Edgar Carl- son, Ronald Murphy, Robert Taylor, Eugene Ander- son, and Richard Stokinger. The girls ' basketball team had Diana Von der Heide. Maureen Kelly, and Patricia Howland. Sumner ' s Gym Squad was fortu- nate in having Arthur Barton, Raymond Taylor, Eugene Cote, and Diana Von der Heide. The baseball team also had a number of Sophomore boys, and Dorothy Skilling represented the class in cheerleading. Many other classmates favored different school activi- ties such as Glee Club, Snoops and Scoops Staff, The Echo, and the Photography Club. The main event of the year was the Sophomore boys’ basketball victory over the Seniors, making them the school champions since they had been victorious over the Ereshmen in a previous game. Now, when its second year of high school is clos- ing, the Class of 1948 looks forward to next Sep- tember when its members may once again join in the fun at Sumner. Then they may be classified under the dignified title of ‘’upperclassmen.” 17 THE ECHO 19 4 6 FRONT ROW: D. Marble. T. Cassani, R. Mack. B. Hollstein. D. Fisher. D. Murphy. J. Fouche. F-. Flail. M.

During the year the class lost many mem- bers but was very fortunate in gaining Joan Bell and Barry Moore for the commercial course, and John Vining for the college group. Marilyn Johnson. Dorothea Fisher, Barbara Holl- stein, and Theresa Cassani represented our class on the basketball team and did some fine work during the season. Both our class teams were defeated by the Sophomores. There were no cheerleaders from our class, but Theresa Cassani and Barbara Hollstein ex- DOROTHY MURPHY JOYCE FOUCHE DOROTHEA FISHER FREDERICK HALL celled in gym stunts. Many students of the class con- tributed articles to “Snoops and Scoops.’’ The class held three meetings throughout the year. The only real excitement, however, was the Frolic held on May 24. Decorations, which were most at- tractive, were supervised by Miss Hazel Merriman, Joyce Fouche, Barbara Hollstein. James Peat, Rita Mack, and Frederick Hall, assisting her. Everyone co- operated to make the affair a success. Now that its first year of high school is nearing an end, the Class of 1 949 looks forward to returning in September as Sophomores. 18 THE ECHO 19 4 6 I ' RONT ROW: D. Von dcr Heide, B. McGaughey, G.

OFFICERS CHAIRMAN BEVERLEY ORCUTT SECRETARY PAULINE KELLEY TREASURER GRACE McCARTHY The Student Council sponsored many activities this year. For the athletics of the school, basketball and baseball were financed and their advertising, tickets, and accounts taken care of. The foul shooting contest was held again this year with more than eighty stu- dents participating. Other activities included assisting in the Junior Red Cross Drive and in the PTA; tak- ing charge of recess dancing; sponsoring movie assem- blies, including the exceedingly interesting “Voyage of the Volita:” and installing a suggestion box. The customary magazine drive was held, the proceeds being placed in a fund for improving the stage. School spirit was enhanced by the sponsoring of the cheer leaders, the awarding of school letters, and the sale of booster pins, emblems, and stickers. The delegates attended two interesting conventions of the Southeastern Branch of the High School Student Councils of Massachusetts, one in New Bed- ford, and the other at Fall River. Faculty advisers for the year were Miss Elna Knut- son and Mr. Garland Neal, who aided the Council greatly with their kindly help and suggestions. 19 ll ' wQIB -1 JH .

OO . .J an J Sc OO Again this year students of Sumner received three full editions of “Snoops and Scoops” which were pre- pared by a capable and fairly large staff with the in- valuable aid and supervision of Miss Grace McCarthy and Miss Eleanor Pegnam. As in the past few years we received several pages for each edition of material from the Junior High. The first issue, distributed on November 21. fea- tured articles on Thanksgiving, an essay written by a Sumner student twenty-one years ago on “Atoms and Atavism.” a crossword puzzle, poems, and a clever cartoon depicting the varied interests of fresh- men. sophomore, junior and senior students entitled “As Time Goes By.” On Valentine’s Day the second edition, an unus- ually thick one. was given out. This contained a page of Senior Sayings, Senior Songs, and Senior Personali- ties, a write-up of the Senior Class play, “Anne of Green Gables,” a page of fashion drawings, letters from the love-lorn to Saint Valentine, a number of interesting poems and stories, suggestions found in the suggestion box, and reports and cartoons of the boys’ and girls’ basketball. The last edition came out the day before our Easter vacation and featured several really good cartoons and drawings of the Senior Prom, an Easter Greetings page, and one of traditional Easter decorations. It also contained a page of interesting facts under the title of “Did You Know Thati ”. reports of Room 10 and Freshmen Characteristics, and many poems. I ' his has certainly been a successful year for our school paper, and we arc sure that we can do it again next year. 1 1 THE ECHO 19 4 6 FRONT ROW: J. Whitaker, L. Files. D. Skilling. STANDING: P.

Three girls, Lura Files, Joyce Ann Whitaker, and Dorothy Skilling were the regular leaders, while Eleanor Mann and Priscilla Chapman were substi- tutes. The cheer leaders made their own uniforms of white cap-sleeved military style blouses with royal blue buttons down the front and the same color blue skirts made over slightly from last year. Practice was carried on faithfully four times a week after school at which the suggestions for songs and cheers were worked out with actions. There are now over twenty- five different cheers and songs. The cheerleaders at- tended eighteen basketball games, as due to a lack of transportation very few of the out-of-town games were attended. This year, on the whole, was a suc- cessful year, while a rosy future gleams ahead. 23 THE ECHO 19 4 6 FRONT ROW: Miss Margaret Murphy. Director: V ' . Robertson, A. Haskins, A. Johnston. P.

Eor this special occasion Elaine McIntosh composed “Just a Touch of Romance.” Graduation music was furnished by the Glee Club as well as the music at the Baccalaureate Service. 24 THE ECHO 19 4 6 FRONT ROW: M.

Mrs. Ruth Neal, Coach. „UUi Under the supervision of Mrs. Ruth Neal, their coach, the girls ' basketball team made a more out- standing record than any previous Sumner team. Prac- tice began early in the year, and the season extended longer than usual. Out of the sixteen games played only two were lost. The girls bowed to Whitman when they lost by a badly needed one point: nevertheless, the Whitman team knew that it was up against a very strong and determined team of girls when the return game was played and were defeated by 1 2 points. The second loss was to Avon, their old time rivals, by two points, but the loss was made up in the return game when they beat the Avon girls by 27 points. Because the team had such a successful season, it received two dinner invitations, one from the school committee at the Boston City Club, and the other from the Rotary Club at Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard in Randolph. Beverly Paul was the highest scorer with 183 points, followed by Barbara McGaughey and Mary White with 166 and 129 points respectively.

Only one vet- eran, Karl Anderson, returned but George Polisson, George Wagner, Robert Pawlowski, and Rudolph Mosesso had seen plenty of action on the second team and were well qualified to take over. However, serious illness forced Robert Pawlowski out. and Robert Hollstein. a Sophomore carried on ably. The year was not as successful as the previous one. Sumner winning only eight while losing ten. However, during the sea- son, Karl Anderson scored 374 points in 18 games, an average of better than 20 points per game. As usual Sumner entered the South Shore Tourna- ment in March. Harwich, its first opponent, proved to have too strong an offensive and overcame Sum- ner ' s halftime lead of one point to win by eight points. 26 THE ECHO 19 4 6 Alumni _ _ 27 Sumner _ 44 E.
