THE ECHO 19 4 8 As Freshmen Here ' s what you ' ve been waiting for — the final edition of the greatest history makers of Sumner High School in all time, the Senior Class of 1948! 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
