THE ECHO 19 4 9 V Freshmen Sumner High looked mighty big to 38 Freshmen that September morn in 1945. Nervously we waited for things to begin to happen. Little did we know of what was in store for us. but imaginations ran high. The cool confidence of returning upper classmen was not reassuring in the least. Within a few weeks, however, we were deep in the swing of things, and we do mean deep. Between Latin conjugations and science for the College division, and business training for the Commercial, we were kept busy and out of mischief. Considering the small size of the class, we were pretty well represented in sports. Bob Johnston, Ron- ald Whittaker, Bob Foster, and Fred Hall were on the boys’ basketball squad, while Barbara Hollstein, Theresa Cassani, Dorothea Fisher, Esther Morton, and Marilyn Johnson made the girl hoopsters a feared team. Bob Foster went out for baseball: later Ronald Whittaker made the team. James Peat was our only trackman. For class officers this year, we elected Dorothy Murphy, president: Joyce Fouche, vice-president: Dorothea Fisher, secretary: and Fredrick Hall, treas- urer. Our Student Council representatives were James Peat and John Vining. The chief and only social event of the year was the Freshman Frolic on May 24. We left school in June satisfied that we had made an impression on Sumner High, old Sumner High by now. Sophomores When September rolled around again, with smug smiles born of experience we, as full-fledged sopho- mores, could watch the tottering freshmen. We were sorry to note that several members of our class were missing: namely, Harland White, Michael Kayian. Richard White. Edwin Loud, and Earle Nickerson. However, we were happy to observe two new faces in the persons of June MacNeil and Barry Moore. At class meetings — some called them “studies” — the following were elected to office: Joyce Fouche. presi- dent: Mary Garabedian. vice-president: Marilyn Johnson, secretary: and Fredrick Hall, treasurer. Dorothy Murphy and James Peat were our Student Council representatives. Here we chose our class motto — “The door to success is labeled ‘push’ ” and our class colors — maroon and gold. Now we settled down to struggling with French irregular verbs and algebra quadratics, or shorthand brief forms and double entry bookkeeping. Included in the activities for the year were a record hop and a food sale. Juniors Upper classmen we were in September, 1947, as we gathered for another year of work, sweat, toil, and blood. Counting heads, we missed Henry Coppolo, who had entered trade school in Weymouth: June MacNeil, who had moved to New York: and Barry Moore, who had moved to California. Class officers elected were Roland Hinckley, presi- dent: James Peat, vice-president: Rita Mack, secretary: and Fredrick Hall, treasurer. We were now entitled to three Student Council seats, and for these positions we chose Dorothea Fisher, Theresa Cassani, and John Vining to represent us. Memorable subjects for the year were chemistry and history or more shorthand and bookkeeping. Two food sales, a paper drive, and a hot dog sale showed that the class still had ambition. The big event of the year, quite naturally, was the Junior Prom on Friday, May 7, 1948. Don Leach and his orchestra were the music makers. Don was really “hot stuff” at the drums. Theresa Cassani and Roland Hinckley led the grand march. The Mardi Gras decorations of huge paper clowns and multi- colored streamers transformed the old gym into some- thing resembling the Waldorf-Astoria ballroom on New Year’s Eve. Despite rain, as usual, the event was a big success, and we know that everyone went away happy. Schoolbooks had been taken off mantlepieces dur- ing the previous three years, as witness the nine pro meritos earned by a class of twenty-five. You want to know who they are? You don ' t? Well, I’ll tell you anyway. They are Dorothea Fisher, Joyce Fouche, Mary Garabedian, Fredrick Hall, Rita Mack, Esther Morton. Dorothy Murphy. James Peat, and John Vining. All in all, we were much more dignified and mature this year. Seniors Twenty-five stockholders of Sumner High strutted back to classes in the fall of ' 48 as full-fledged Seniors. Joyce Fouche and Marilyn Johnson were the only ones not present and accounted for, Joyce having entered Thayer Academy, and Marilyn having moved to Whitman. This was destined to be the year of years to the class of classes. We chose as our officers in this, our final and great- est year. Fredrick Hall as president, Ronald Whittaker as vice-president, John Vining as secretary, and James Peat as treasurer. Theresa Cassani. Rita Mack, Bar- bara Hollstein, Emil Rosenberg, and Kent Callahan represented us in the Student Council. Rita Mack and Robert Johnston, respectively, won the honors of j 7 t i ' C
