THE ECHO 19 4 6 FRONT ROW: J. Whitaker, L. Files. D. Skilling. STANDING: P. Kelley, Manager. a eer csCcaclc erd Cheerleading had as an able manager, Pauline Kelley, while Miss Elna Knutson was the faculty adviser. 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

Hollstein. 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.
