The foul shooting contest was con- ducted again with a large percentage of the students participating. Other activities included co-sponsoring a basketball game with the P. T. A.; having charge of recess dancing; conducting of class elections; and the arranging of movie assemblies. 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. Miss Elna Knutson and Mr. Garland Neal, faculty advisers, aided the council by contributing many help- ful suggestions. 19

Jackie Savoy, and Grace Johnston were on the girls ' basketball squad: John White, Bill Mat- thews. Paul Stokinger.

Many students of the class contributed articles to Snoops and Scoops. The class held five meetings during the year. We have chosen as our class colors Black and Gold,” and as our motto Forward Ever: Backward Never.” The two most exciting things that have happened this year were our Assembly in which we presented a Texas Round-Up” and our Freshman Dance which was held on April 25 with streamers and balloons for decorations. Now that our first year in High School is nearing its end, we are looking forward to returning to Sum- ner in September as Sophomores. 18

Bishop. s noo, an J Sc coo The Snoops and Scoops staff worked out three unusually fine editions of the school newspaper this year. 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
