Marjorie White By Diana Von Der Heide Tune: “In the Gloaming Now our days of school are past, We are ling’ring at the door, Pond’ring years that flew so fast, Wishing that they were not o ' er. Here we eye the future bright, Each one holding thoughts the same, That of using all our might To bring our Sumner pride and fame. Memories of all our days, Happiness that we found here. Will, as we go our ways, Fainter be but, oh, so dear. Thinking of the friends we met, Memories will always dwell, And we murmur with regret To ev’ryone a fond Farewell. i?

Step up and listen closely now. and we ll give you the inside information on how we became Holbrook’s most talked about class. When we shoved ourselves through the high school ' s battered doors back there in September, 1944, no one so much as looked down his nose at us. We were just another bunch of pitied freshmen who had four long years to avoid looking forward to. No one saw that certain gleam in our eye. (Frankly we didn’t either!) However, as time went on — ah, but we are getting ahead of ourselves. Dusting off our memory we see forty-seven, big-eyed freshmen, twenty-five in the college course and twenty-two in the commercial course, sitting stiff and still at their desks peering up at their gloating teachers. My, we’ve sure made history since then ! Class officers were elected, and they were Robert Hollstein. president: Rita Markie, vice-president: Bar- bara Clinton, secretary: and Edgar Carlson, treasurer. We also elected Patricia Howland and Richard Stok- inger as Student Council representatives. This year we lost only two members, Richard Benn and Ronald Murphy, while we gained Diana Von Der Heide. It was shown at the beginning that our class was very sports minded, for Rita Markie, Barbara Clinton. Patricia Howland. Robert Hollstein, Richard Stok- inger. Charles Dickinson. Robert Taylor, Eugene Anderson, Wilfred Austin, Thomas Haggai, Edgar Carlson, and Alan Loud became members of the bas- ketball teams. The class teams were defeated by the Juniors in the finals of the intra-mural contests, but we Freshmen beat the Sophomores. We were also represented by three cheer leaders: Phyllis Harvey, Margo Dolan, and Dorothy Skilling. On March 1 6 we decorated the gymnasium in green and white and had our main event of the year, the Freshman Frolic. With the closing of our Freshman year we had our second obstacle to overcome — the Sophomore year. As Sophomores Now we were getting somewhere. After all we weren ' t the lowest class in the school, and just think, only three more years to go. Uh . . . just think! At our first meeting we elected Edgar Carlson, presi- dent: Pauline Hadfield, vice-president: Barbara Clin- ton. secretary: and Helena Clifford, treasurer. Student Council members later chosen were Audrey Bond and Diana Von Der Heide. We lost three more members this year: Jean Dc- sousa, Douglas Smith, and Gloria Albee, but we didn’t do so badly. We snatched up four new ones: Arthur Barton, Malcolm MacDonald, the return of Gloria Albee, and our old friend, Ronald Murphy. The athletes were out again. Out for Sumner’s sport, basketball, of course, were Robert Hollstein, Charles Dickinson, Edgar Carlson, Ronald Murphy, Robert Taylor, Eugene Anderson, Richard Stokinger, Maurine Kelly, Patricia Howland, and Diana Von Der Heide. Also on the gym squad we had Arthur Barton, Raymond Taylor. Eugene Cote and Diana Von Der Heide. Many of the boys joined the baseball team, and Dorothy Skilling represented the class in cheer-leading. Speaking of basketball, this is the year we made people start to sit up and take notice of our boys, for after beating the freshmen, we licked the Seniors to become champs of the school. Thus we trudged into our third year and began our historic career. As Juniors First we elected class officers who were Dorothy Skilling, president: Diana Von Der Heide, vice-presi- dent; Pauline Hadfield, secretary; and Barbara Clin- ton, treasurer. Our Student Council representatives were Ronald Murphy, Helena Clifford, Helen Card, and Richard Stokinger. Quite a few classmates were lost this year, namely, Patricia Howland, Alfred Wright, Malcolm MacDonald, Marylou Marble, Wes- ley Simmons, Arthur Barton, Emily Pierson, Carl Walsh, Gloria Albee, and Louise Poole. Earning their basketball fame were Robert Holl- stcin, Charles Dickinson, Richard Stokinger, Robert Taylor, Ronald Murphy, Edgar Carlson, Eugene Anderson, Barbara Clinton, Alice Johnston, and Diana Von Der Heide. Our marvelous gym squad members, Raymond Taylor, Eugene Cote, Charles Dickinson, James Calway, and Eugene Anderson rated thunderous applause for their superb perform- ances. Other members joined the baseball and softball teams, also the Rifle Club, Glee Club, and the Snoops and Scoops staff. Dorothy Skilling again was our able cheerleader During this year our future Senior Class adviser, Miss Megley, showed us a pamphlet on a tour to Washington that included everything except meals at a very reasonable cost. This we decided was going to be our goal, our chance of a lifetime if we could only make it. All we needed was that goal, for imme- diately we began to really raise the money. A Hot Dog Sale came off first. Then we put through a profit- able Whist Party. We gave St. Patrick’s Day a Record 8 y THE ECHO 19 4 8 Hop and later our treasury made a record hop from our most successful, hard-earned Paper Drive, and believe me it was hard-earned. Our last and main event was the Junior Prom with Don Leach ' s orchestra. This longed-for event, taking weeks of thought and preparation, was all over in a few hours of pleasure. During April our long-awaited class rings arrived. Everyone was well pleased with them and are still proudly sporting them. Finally we escorted the Seniors at graduation half envious and half not — envious for reasons not pub- lished here! Those taking honors at graduation for Pro Merito were Rita Markie, Dorothy Skilling, Paul- ine Hadfield, Diana Von Der Heide, Audrey Bond, Helena Clifford, and Richard Stokinger. Helena Clif- ford won the Washington and Franklin Medal, the History Award given by the Sons of the American Revolution. A typing award was given to Diana Von Der Heide for typing fifty-two words per minute for ten minutes with no errors. As Seniors And now we bring you our sigh of relief — the Senior year. Elections were again held with the fol- lowing results: Richard Stokinger, president: Ronald Murphy, vice-president: Diana Von Der Heide, secre- tary: and Marjorie White, treasurer. Representatives to Student Council were Helen Card, Eugene Cote, Helena Clifford, and Robert Hollstein. We lost four members this year, James Calway, Rita Markie, Agnes Colarusso, and Kenneth Loud: however, we gained Alice Dwyer. The basketball team, composed almost wholly of Seniors, had a brilliant year. Members of the class also joined the baseball team, gym squad, and the other clubs. Starting off the year with a bang we had a Hal- loween Dance with the rhythmic Ray Connors orches- tra. In October we held a Paper Drive. Next on our list was taking charge of the Magazine Drive. Then came one of our great highlights of the year — the Senior Drama. Always thinking of getting to Wash- ington we managed to be the first class to hold our drama in the Town Hall since this school has been built. We also raised the most money on it, practically doubling the income of other years. This proved too that we had the greatest attendance ever obtained. Ah, that’s our class for you. Along in December we definitely decided that we were going to Washington plus New York. We already had boosted our treasury and felt we could secure the remainder. Another Hot Dog Sale was held in February and also another profitable Paper Drive. Oh, we were really on our toes this year. In March we sponsored a basketball game — the Senior boys against the Alumni —beating them, of course. Eugene Cote and Pete Taylor gave a spectacular gym exhibit as a prelim- inary. Our last undertaking was our Whist Party. The D.A.R. Good Citizen of 1948, selected by the Class and Faculty for outstanding dependability, responsibility, courtesy, and patriotism, was Dorothy Skilling who enjoyed a day in Boston as the guest of the D.A.R. We now put down our working gloves and on April 18 moved on to New York and Washington on our long awaited Class Trip. Yes sir, we had made our goal by earning the most money a Senior Class has ever had. Again, we were the first class to ever go to Washington, and believe me it was worth all our efforts — five days full of our nation’s highlights. Always being a lucky class, we had good weather every day of our trip. We visited the White House, even seing the new porch recently added by President Truman. We went up to the top of the Washington Monument from which could be seen almost all of the famous buildings and scenes of the capitol. One of the most interesting places was the Smithsonian Insti- tute which has collections of everything thinkable. Another was the Federal Bureau of Investigation building where a guide explained the operations of their branch of the law; this everyone greatly enjoyed. Mt. Vernon, Virginia, proved to be a very beautiful estate. In New York we saw the play, “Oklahoma,” and went to Radio City Music Hall seeing the picture “State of the Union,” and the very spectacular Rock- ettes. All in all it was just plain wonderful. Arriving home now made us realize our year was just about spent. Class Day and Graduation were almost on top of us. Yes, they were here, and the greatest class ever to leave Sumner, the “Class of Firsts,” departed in a blaze of glory. DIANA VON DER HEIDE, Secretary of Class of 1 948. {9Y THE ECHO 19 4 8 CU Will We. the members of the Senior Class of 1948. of Sumner High School. Town of Holbrook, County of Norfolk.

Five of our imaginative Seniors will present a radio program on ' The Class of 1 948 Twenty Years From Now. ' ' Richard Stokinger. Announcer: This is station SHS twenty years from today contacting correspond- ents all over the globe. Our first correspondent to be heard from is Dorothy Skilling from Honolulu. Honolulu! Flash! Who, have we learned, is visit- ing this land of sunshine and flowers but Countess Diana Von Der Heide Ludwig, whose fame as a singer is second only to that of Jenny Lind? Diana, who was recently married to the very wealthy German Count Ludwig, is now here with the Count on their honeymoon. Dinner guests last evening of Count and Countess Ludwig were Wilfred Austin. President of Austin World Airways, and multimillionairess Bar- bara Clinton who has made all her money by growing rainbow-colored orchids on the South Sea Islands and shipping them by Austin Airways to the United States where they are sold at 5 and 10c stores. A letter was recently received by Miss Clinton from the Duke of Farrington (once Ronald Murphy of Holbrook, Massachusetts) and his wife, the Duchess, thanking Barbara for her invitation to a house party on her South Sea Island. The Duke in accepting the invita- tion said he couldn ' t wait to meet all these old friends of his. Paris! Flash! Terry has again become top designer of Paris and New York by showing her newest crea- tion — a sea green evening gown with an overskirt of green fishnet. T he commentators of Terry ' s fashion show at Paris have just discovered that her real name is Amelia Terrazano and that her famous model is Maureen Kelly. Maurie, who helped put Terry on her pedestal by modeling this sea-green creation, is not only the most popular model of the two fashion cen- ters, Paris and New York, but is also very happily married. Terry told reporters that her chief customer is Alice Dwyer, the wife of a well-known criminal lawyer whose summer home is at Cannes, here in France. Until Movie Star Van Stokinger — once called Richard — arrives from Hollywood to model his famous natural-looking permanent wave which is known as the Stokinger wave, we shall have nothing more to report so we return you to SHS Broadcasting Station in Holbrook. Massachusetts. This is Dorothy Skilling in Honolulu. Hawaii, signing off. Stokinger: Now back to station SHS where we will hear from Washington — Audrey Bond reporting. Washington: Word has just been received from London that Margie White, famous woman swimmer, has broken her previous record of 1:15:5 by swim- ming the English Channel in 1:14:4. Crowds met her on the shore and congratulated her with cheers and shouts. Margie, since bei ng graduated from Sum- ner High School, Holbrook, has devoted her life to training for this difficult feat.

Another famous classmate. Jim Rayner, has come from his world-known Rayner’s Manor” in Wash- ington, D. C., to take charge of the banquet. As Jim now directs all official White House dinners, it was difficult for him to come for this occasion, but he was THE ECHO 19 4 8 persuaded by Congresswoman Pauline Hadfield, who had had so many letters and telegrams about the mat- ter that she dared not displease her supporters.

Senior L )j ram a The Senior class of 1948 did it!! Yes. we did it! We sold the required amount of tickets to enable us to have our drama in the Town Hall! This has long been an objective for Senior classes, and we are proud that we were the first to accomplish it. Our play was the well-known Huckleberry Finn,” by Mark T wain. The hall was filled to capacity when the curtain rose and found Huck Finn played by Charles Dick- inson talking to the escaped negro. Jim, portrayed by Eugene Cote. Huck Finn, supposedly drowned, had just showed up at the home of the Wilcks’ where Aunt Sally, excellently played by Helen Card, and Uncle Silas, played by Ray Sherman, were taking care of the two Wilcks girls, Mary Jane, dramatized by Betty Cambridge, and Joanna, the typical tomboy characterized especially well by Diana Von Der Heide. Aunt Sally, expecting her nephew, Tom Sawyer, to arrive, jumped to the conclusion that Huck was Tom. Miss Emeline Grangerford, the town reporter, delightfully played by Jean Gilman, was there to get the news of Tom ' s arrival. After Huck had been settled in the house as Tom. Uncle Silas discovered Jim, the negro, and took him to his former master. Joanna Wilcks talking with Huck noticed a call of cats by someone outside who Huck told her was a clock peddler. This was really Tom Sawyer played by Raymond Taylor. After much thought, it was decided that Tom should make believe he was Sid, Tom ' s real half-brother, so as not to get Huck in trouble. The villains of the play were Richard Stok- inger as T he King” and Robert Taylor who de- lighted the audience as “The Duke” with his vocabu- lary of google-google.” These two were after the money of the two Wilcks’ girls. Through Huck Finn and Joanna’s cleverness, the fortune was saved. All was forgiven when Aunt Polly played by Helena Clifford and Beckey Thatcher played by Margo Dolan came and disclosed the real identi- ties of the two boys. In the meantime, Jim, the negro, was set free and Joanna and Huck struck up a long and lasting friendship. The class wishes to express its gratitude to Miss Megley who coached our play and also to the large audience who attended. i 16 } ' THE ECHO 19 4 8 FRONT ROW : G. Hanson, M. Johnson, J. Fouche. J.
