Marcus President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Donald Davis Albert Marcus Marjorie Skilling Ernestine Kettlety Ode By Marjorie Skilling Tune: Oh, Maryland. My Maryland Oh Sumner High, dear Sumner High We must leave; the end is nigh. Four years have gone; the work is done. Proudly we say, Our goal is won. Our motto is Do More, Wish Less.” Though now we part, let’s keep it true. We face the world with eagerness. We’ll succeed, our faith’s in you. As now we leave, we have no fears; Our hopes are high for future years. On separate pathways we will go. With our own oars we must row. Remember all we’ve strived to learn. Our principles keep fine and pure. From life’s straight highway we’ll not turn. Sumner’s teachings will endure. 3 THE ECHO 19 4 7 KARL FRANS ANDERSON Smyse Hobby : Sports Ambition: To get out of school Good basketball player . . . moody . argumentative . . rather silly.

Even the thought that we were mere little freshmen did not daunt us for long. Our hopes and expectations were high, and we fully expected to produce the effect of a baby atomic bomb on Sumner. The first change was our division into two groups, the eighteen com- mercials. who soon learned their proper obscure places from Mr. John Walsh, and the twenty-four college students, entrusted to Miss Dorothy Dunbar. Eager to get started as an organized class, we elected the following officers: president, Theodore Veale: vice- president: Albert Marcus: secretary, Virginia Robert- son: treasurer. Marjorie Skilling: and Student Council representatives. Joyce-Ann Whitaker and Robert Estabrook. Many members of the class added their talents to the “Snoops and Scoops, “Echo staff, and Girls ' Glee Club, while Marian Morgan and Barbara McGaughey joined the girls’ basketball team. Before our freshman year was over, we had lost Harold Belcher but gained Jean Matthews. The rest of the year passed without any spectacular occurrences, but we were young yet. “Just give us time,” we said. In 1944 we returned as studious, oh, definitely not silly, sophomores and watched the new crop of fresh- men wander dazedly around, smugly assuring our- selves that we hadn ' t been half so small, nor insig- nificant, nor lost as they were. Again we lost no time in choosing our officers who were: president, Theodore Veale: vice-president, Bar- bara Smith: secretary, Virginia Robertson: treasurer, Priscilla Hobart: and Student Council representatives, Marian Morgan and Barbara McGaughey. We chose as our motto. “Do More, Wish Less,’’ and maroon and gold as our class colors. On December first, as sophomores, we made our debut into Sumner society with an informal dance, quite an undertaking for such youngsters, but a definite success. Who will forget dancing in an original Toyland setting to the dreamy orchestra of Don Leach, secured through the efforts of Blanche Tison, a vivacious and welcome newcomer to our class from Kingston. This year we also gained an old friend and former classmate. Andrew Card, who had been attending Thayer Academy, and Barbara Bowen from Brockton. However, William Grant left to join the Navy and Richard Miles, Richard Berg, Herbert Markie, Phillip Tibbetts, Edward DeSousa, Lorin Hayden, Tony Darienzzo, Kenneth Hayden, Paul Sturgeon, another newcomer, and Warren Buc- chino also left to go to work or later join the service. 7 he rest of the year we worked, worked, worked, but it was fun, too, and how we envied the juniors their class rings and prom, and the seniors their drama, class trip, and graduation — our misty dreams. After one last valiant struggle with final exams we left our happy sophomore year behind, knowing that we had reached the half way mark and looking forward to the glory of being upperclassmen. September 1945. It came too quickly, but even more quickly was gone, and once more we had settled down to make a shining name for ourselves in Sum- ner ' s book of fame. This year we were a class united in effort and in reality under Miss Anna Damon in Room 14. Before finding even a chance to breathe, we were enmeshed in a dizzying circle of work and new responsibilities in class, clubs, and sports of which we had always before been mere interested members. That we might with due dignity conduct the offices of juniors, we elected our leaders who were: president, Andrew Card: vice-president, Marjorie Skilling: sec- retary, Regina Creighton: and treasurer, Albert Mar- cus. Privileged with electing four to the Student Council, we chose Joyce Whitaker, Barbara Mc- Gaughey, Constance Wood, and Priscilla Hobart. Ever growing smaller, our class had lost Doris Grindle, Marian Morgan, Evelyn Cassani, Jean Matthews, Russell Anderson, and Paul Breault, who left to become a Marine, but we had gained Ernestine Ket- tlety of Quincy, Dominic Inglese of Watertown, and Karl Anderson, three active newcomers. Our first weighty matter of consideration was the selection of class rings, those oval shaped beauties with onyx settings which were the first evidence of our upper class status. Months flew by, and it was May — prom time. All our dreams came true on May 3, as we glided happily through a fairyland garden of arti- ficial and real flowers to the music of Eddie Drew’s orchestra. Then it was over — that most wonderful 8 THE ECHO 19 4 7 event of the year, but we still had the memory-bring- ing pictures taken by John Towns of our first grown- up affair . Merrily we sped through the rest of the year, helping the seniors at Class Day and Graduation, watching them say farewell and leave their glorious traditions to us. The summer passed, and then as old friends wc all came back to Sumner. Seniors! It couldn’t be true. Where had those other three years gone? We looked at each other when we returned that bright Septem- ber morning. No, there were no halos, we hadn ' t suddenly grown a foot or two to keep pace with our lofty positions, and neither had we acquired a con- spicuous amount of dignity or sophistication, but seniors — the word applied at last to us was a. wonder- ful sound. Wasting not a minute of our busy year, we elected our officers: president, Donald Davis: vice- president, Albert Marcus: secretary, Marjorie Skilling: treasurer, Ernestine Kettlety: and Student Council representatives, Andrew Card, Theodore Veale, Bar- bara McGaughey, Barbara Smith, and Karl Anderson. We had gained Arthur Squires but lost Joyce Whit- aker, Regina Creighton, and James Calway, now making a total of thirty-four in our distinguished class. The social season of the year was launched with the Senior Dance; we had once again secured Don Leach’s orchestra, which definitely helped to assure the success of any dance, and this one proved no excep- tion. We were even complimented on our fine man- ners and behavior. Then we sponsored a mammoth bridge and whist party purely for its financial value and we were not disappointed. The Senior Drama, “Three Little Maids’’ — ah! that was a real success both financially and from the entertainment point of view. It was enjoyed equally by the audience and by the cast. Will there ever be another like it or quite as good? Who had ever sus- pected that we had a robber or a brilliant detective in our midst! Also to raise money for our New York trip we sold chances on an electric iron so generously donated by Mr. Roy Smith, and just before Easter a style show under the direction of Miss Ruano Gilson was spon- sored. Models from all classes, girls out of school, and our teachers helped to make this, too, a grand success. Even our boys took part by singing appropriate songs after the show. At last came our reward — those three wonderfully busy days in New York during our April vacation. We climbed the Statue of Liberty, saw “Oklahoma,’’ Radio City Music Hall, Empire State Building, upper New York, a broadcast, and a television studio, and we ate and ate, in fact, we did everything but sleep. Still our energy was boundless, and we sang all the way home on the Greyhound Bus wishing that we could ride and sing together for a week. Then it was back to school with graduation almost upon us, making plans for our reception, that fine old tradition revived by our illustrious class after its wartime disappearance, this Class Day, Baccalaureate, and then — it is graduation. Reluctantly we leave our happy memories and school days, but we are still looking forward with hope and expectation saying, “We are young yet. Expect great things from us.’’ 9 THE ECHO 19 4 7 We. the members of the Class of 1947. of Sumner High School. Town of Holbrook.

One day. after I had made a delivery, we were talking about people and how their childhood affects their future years when the professor asked me if I would like to look at the probable future of my classmates. Natur- ally I was astonished and on asking how l could do this, he showed me a queer looking machine with a radioactive crystal mirror on the front of it about four feet in diameter. This, he explained, would forecas t the probable future of a teen-aged human being. There are many possible futures in a man ' s life.” hi explained, but one more likely than others. All you have to do is to give a detailed history of the subject ' s life up to the present time and feed it in mathematic 1 signs to the machine.” I came back a week later with the needed histories of my classmates and asked if I could try out the machine. He agreed. We did the necessary things. He turned on the machine, then watched the radioactive crystal mirror hum and buzz and reflect all the colors in the spectrum before it slowly cleared. Malcolm Bishop was the first to appear. His life is a highly successful one. In 1967 he is at the peak of his career as the greatest artist in America. His marriage to Annabele Astor has opened for him the highest doors in American soc iety. Donald Davis is now general manager and part owner in a chain of A b P stores scattered over North and South America. Barbara Bowen owns so many restaurants and roadside stands that she is known as the female Howard Johnson. Helen Ellis, now a famous pianist, is acknowledged as the greatest living authority on Beethoven. Helen has just finished a tour of Europe with her husband, Dimitri Kostakovitch, the great symphony conductor. Louise Cann is raising a family of little Russian bears in cold Siberia. A new scene shows a meeting of the joint houses of Congress to listen to President Marcus speak on the state of the Union. Among the President’s cabinet is Postmaster General Andrew Card and Secretary of Labor. Priscilla Hobart, who is the third woman to enjoy that honor. A close-up view of Congress shows in a senatorial seat Barbara Smith, one of our first woman senators. She, it seems, continues the traditions of her family. Allan Richardson, the great radio and television comedian, helped Barbara into the senate by his popularity. Karl Anderson it seems has finally realized his ambition to become a great batter on the Boston Red Sox. But baseball is more or less of a hobby with Karl now. He is, besides being our ambassador to Russia, our most successful foreign diplomat at peace conferences (they still have peace conferences in 1967). Karl claims his success is due to the fact that he carries a baseball bat with him into peace confer- ences and diplomacy to the ball field. The great South American shoe magnate John Colby, has become rich and famous because in- vented an air cooled and ventil ‘d shoe for people in the torrid zone. Catherine Dietunson is the leading fashion designer in New York Ci y. Catherine has won fame and fortune as the designer of the Ultra Modern 67” .ress, a sort of compromise between a i.-oop skirt a hobble. Harold ’irwe ' r, conductor of the .American Au Girl C the successor to the aton of Andre Ko„. no Phil Spitalny.

In the State Legislature is Margaret Clinton, rep- resentative from Norfolk County. She is a very con- troversial figure in Mas :husetts for she wants the voting age for women lowered and that for men raised, claiming that statistics show that women are always ten years ahead of men Opposing Margaret is Arthur Squires, one of the most conservative figures in the State Legislature. He claims that too much par- ticipation of women in politics would be ruinous to the health and digestion of the nation as the pre- occupation of women in politics would not give them time to prepare the healthful meals needed to support American males.

Senior 2 ) ram a When the curtain rose on the night of December 1 3, the hall was filled to capacity. Yes! the night that all had been awaiting had finally come! Yes! the night on which the senior class was presenting that mystery- thriller of the season, “Three Little Maids. The enthusiasm of the audience was aroused at the sound of the word “Action, which found Mrs. Leffingwell. an imaginary invalid excellently played by Marjorie Skilling, with her confused maid Caro- line, portrayed by Blanche Tison. Mrs. Leffingwell was completely disgusted with the entire world. Not only did she refuse the aid of her dear friend, Mrs. Marshall, Priscilla Hobart, whose daughter Madelyn, acted by Barbara Bowen, was supposedly in love with Mrs. Leffingwell’s adopted son, Leslie, Teddy Veale, but neither would she accept the professional advice of young Dr. Butler, played by Andy Card. All was changed, however, with the arrival of Three Little Maids, Estrella, Nella, and Ella, played by Priscilla Chapman, Joyce Whitaker, and Barbara Smith respectively. Although at first the girls greatly disturbed Mrs. L effingwell, their thoughtful acts, ges- tures, and talk, which proved more than slightly hil- arious to the audience, finally won them her sincere approval and the permission to stay with her. At last all was well. Nevertheless, matters once again changed when Mrs. Leffingwell ' s jewels were stolen by Robert Ber- ton, the fake electrician, acted by Albert Marcus. Berton ' s capture by Groggin, the detective, Stanley Johnson, along with the romantic love scenes of Dr. Butler and Estrella, and Leslie and Nella. made all end happily. All Sumner congratulated Miss Kathryn Megley, who, as coach, gave so much time to make the drama a success, and the entire cast. We are sure that all Sumnerites will proudly remember that evening of December 13 as the night that so many stars were born. 15 THE ECHO 19 4 7 FRONT ROW: E. Cote, R. Taylor. E. Anderson. E. Carlson.

Charles Dickinson. James Calway, and Eugene Anderson represented the class on the gym squad.

Our cheerleader is Dorothy Skilling who has well represented the class. The first of our activities was a Hot Dog Sale which was enthusiastically received by the entire school fol- lowed by a very successful Whist Party, St. Patrick’s Day Record Hop, Paper Drive, and, last but not least, the Junior Prom. Our class rings, which had long been awaited, arrived early in April, and living up to our every expectation pleased all. Now as our Junior Year is closing the Class of 1948 is looking forward to next September when we will begin our last year at Sumner, a time which only a few years ago seemed unobtainable. 16 THE ECHO 19 4 7 FRONT ROW: J.

The proceeds of the annual magazine drive and those derived from a series of hot dog sales were appropriated to a fund for the purchase of baseball uniforms. To increase school spirit, the cheer leaders were sponsored, school letters BARBARA McGAUGHEY BARBARA SMITH RONALD MURPHY were awarded, and emblems, pins, and stickers were sold. An added attraction in this line was the selling of T shirts on which the school emblem was embossed. The delegates attended an interesting convention of the Southeastern Branch of the High School Stu- dent Councils of Massachusetts which was held at Plymouth High.

Although the number of members of the staff has diminished considerably since last year, the group, under the management of Miss Grace McCarthy and Mrs. Alma Hill without whose help the publication would have been impossible, worked hard. The first edition, issued on November 27, featured several Thanksgiving articles with appropriate car- toons, announcement of the Senior Drama, bits of humor, crossword puzzle, and song-gossip. he second issue made its appearance on Valen- tine’s Day with many special essays on career plans, Valentine poems, basketball cartoons and scores, and jokes. Just before the Easter vacation the third and last issue was published. Senior news was full of gradua- tion doings and the New York trip while the pages were evenly divided between Easter cartoons and Junior Prom notes. Following the custom of a year or two, a section at the back of the edition was given over to the Junior High exclusively for the news, gossip, jokes, and special items. Also in each issue was Sally Snoop, a young lady who has successfully eluded recognition. In Catherine Dickinson, Miss McCarthy found a genius of untold artistic abilities. Catherine gave a great deal of time to drawing numberless cartoons which were gratefully appreciated. All in all Snoops and Scoops enjoyed a very suc- cessful year. 20 THE ECHO 19 4 7 FRONT ROW: L.

The final group con- sisted of Dorothy Skilling, captain and manager; Pris- cilla Chapman, Lois Leitch, Sylvia Day, Joan Dow- rey, and Lillian Mulhern. As there were more cheer- leaders this year than last, two of the girls wore sweaters and skirts while the other four girls wore the regular blouses and skirts of last year. The girls at- tended all of the home games, the games at Avon, Randolph, and Whitman, as well as the two games at the “Y” and the last one at the Brockton Armory. Because the hall was in use every study period, after- noon, and evening, the girls found it difficult to locate a place where they could practice the twenty cheers and songs which they made up and put actions to in order to cheer Sumner’s players on to victory. Near the end of the year small megaphones were used by the chief supporters in the cheering section which greatly increased the volume of cheers. With many more girls desirous of becoming cheerleaders, the win- ter of 1947-1948 promises to be a successful one for its cheerleaders. 21 THE ECHO 19 4 7 FRONT ROW: G. Johnston, J. Budd. B.

Mrs. Hazel Flye. coach, did her best to pro- duce a good team, but due to the fact that many of the girls were working afternoons and the boys had the gym every evening for practice, it was difficult for the girls to have a successful practice session. It is hoped that next year a more equitable arrangement for practice will be possible because the girls have the ability to win many games.

However, Sum- ner did not display its usual brand of basketball and all hopes of winning the Tournament and being invited to the Garden were quickly dashed.
