The members of the class were very active in the various activities throughout the school. Girls’ Glee Club, girls’ and boys’ basketball, baseball, gym squad, and Snoops and Scoops were well represented by Juniors. Our monthly class meetings were held and the important business of the class was discussed. Richard Balch, Sylvia Day, Lillian Mulhern, and Louise Ho- bart were elected to Student Council. White and gold were our class colors for this year. Our class rings were received in January. Many events including a hot dog sale, a record hop, a three-act play and the Junior Prom have been held. The play, The Absent Minded Professor,” was pre- sented on April 29 in the high school auditorium. It GRACE JOHNSTON PAUL ROBERTS JOANNE BUDD was greatly enjoyed by all.

The hall was gayly decorated in pastel streamers and flowers. Our Junior year has nearly ended, and we are now looking forward to being Seniors.

THE ECHO 19 4 9 D. Murphy. R. Mack. G. Fader. D. Marble. K. Callahan. E. Anderson. R. Whittaker, Miss Kathryn Megley, coach; T. Cassani. Senior ' ram a The Senior Drama. “Salad Days,” which made its debut on Friday evening. December 10. was con- sidered a great success both in proceeds and in the way of production. Dorothy Murphy, who had the leading role, char- acterized Clementine, a studious old-fashioned cousin who comes to make her home with the Hammond family while attending public high school. Her previ- ous schooling had been in private schools where uni- forms of middy blouses and black skirts only were worn and which she refuses to discard, much to the embarrassment of her cousins, Nancy and Peter Ham- mond. Peter, played by George Fader, has a new hobby, that of inventing a new plant which he has named for his beloved girl-friend. Sylvia, played by Rita Mack. For some reason unknown to Nancy, por- trayed by Tessie Cassani, her boy-friend. Jimmy, is attracted to Clementine. The part of Jimmy Parker was enacted by Ronald Whittaker. Between the tangled teen-age romances and the confusion Peter causes in the household with the experiment, the situations in the action of the story proved highly entertaining. With the final succumb- ing of Peter’s plans, due to too much care on the part of Clementine, Mrs. Hammond, played by Elinor Anderson, and Mrs. Parker, the helpful next-door neighbor, played by Dorothy Marble, and the occas- ion of a high school dance at which Clementine blos- soms forth in a modern evening gown, minus her horn-rimmed spectacles and black stockings, the situa- tion is cleared up and peace reigns once more in the Hammond household with Mr. Hammond, played by Kent Callahan, sitting in his easy chair. All Sumner congratulated Miss Kathryn Megley, who as coach gave so much of her time to make the drama a success, and the entire cast. ! 14 y
