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

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

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
