THE ECHO 19 5 0 F. Skilling. J. Chase, B. Ryder. M. Mackie. C. George, E. Buckley. a eer The Cheer Leaders got off on rather a slow start this year due to the late arrival of the new uniforms. Only two girls returned from last year’s squad, Eliza- beth Buckley and Frances Skilling, but four new candidates joined them: Cynthia George, Barbara Ryder. Joan Chase, and Marie Mackie. They practiced in the gym after school under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Mackin. The cheer leaders had plenty to cheer about this year since our basketball team won two championships. At the testimonial banquet given the members of the boys’ basketball team, each cheer leader was pre- sented with a sterling silver miniature megaphone on a chain. These were inscribed S.H.S. ’50.

SaAetUt Sumner ' s basketball team got off to a wonderful start and kept up its pace until the end of the season, winning the Class B Championship and the May- flower League Championship. This was the best season ever recalled in the school’s basketball history. The team worked hard at the beginning of the season, sweating and practicing for the big games ahead. Teamwork and sharpshooting carried them successfully through the season. Competition was keen, but the team met their opponents with speed and cleverness. Tied with Bridgewater for the cham- pionship of the Mayflower League, a play-off game was necessary, and in this game Sumner proved to have a team of distinction. This year Sumner was not to be denied and took each opponent in turn in the South Shore Tourna- ment, meeting last year ' s victor, East Bridgewater, in the final game. This game was one of revenge, and Sumner showed its class and skill. In recognition of their work, the team was given a banquet by the townspeople and the players were presented with jackets. This Sumner team will always be remembered even though it was not given the chance to show its class in the Boston Tech Tourney. [ 26 ]
