Those whom we were unfortunate in losing were Patricia Howland. Alfred Wright, Malcolm MacDonald. Marylou Marble, Wesley Simmons, Arthur Barton. Emily Pierson, Carl Walsh, Gloria Albee, and Louise Poole. Once again the class was unable to be surpassed in athletics having Robert Hollstein, Charles Dickinson, Richard Stokinger, Robert Taylor, Ronald Murphy, Edgar Carlson, Eugene Anderson, Barbara Clinton, Alice Johnston, and Diana Von der Heide on the two basketball squads, while Raymond Taylor, Eugene Cote. Charles Dickinson. James Calway, and Eugene Anderson represented the class on the gym squad. Many other members have joined the baseball and DOROTHY SKILLING DIANA VON DER HEIDE PAULINE HADFIELD BARBARA CLINTON softball teams, and others have become members of the Rifle Club, Glee Club, and Snoops and Scoops staff. 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

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 class also contributed many articles for Snoops and Scoops and Virginia Martin and Joyce Fouche were the class reporters. Most of the girls were mem- bers of the Glee Club, and others worked on The The class was fairly well represented athletically with the following on the girls’ basketball squad: Barbara Hollstein, Theresa Cassani, Joyce Fouche, and Marilyn Johnson.
