THE ECHO 19 5 0 C lai S Freshmen On that glorious September morn in 1946. forty- eight excited and expectant freshmen marched up the winding path of dear old Sumner High, slightly skeptical perhaps, because of the superior glances received from the upper classmen, but none the less ambitious to the fullest capacity. The first change was a division into two groups, twenty-nine in the Commercial Course with Mr. John Walsh, and nineteen in the College Course with Miss Dorothy Dunbar. Immediately, the class set about electing class officers who were as follows: President, Paul Roberts: vice-president, Jean Stevenson: secre- tary. Jane Colby: and treasurer. Jacqueline Savoy. The class chose as its motto “Forward Ever, Back- ward Never. and for class colors Black and Gold.” The Student Council Representatives were JoAnne Budd and Phyllis Putt. This year the class lost one of its members, A1 Inglese. but was fortunate in gaining Joan Dowrey. On the girls ' basketball squad were JoAnne Budd. Louise Hobart, Grace Johnston, and Jacqueline Savoy, while on the boys’ basketball squad were John White, William Matthews, Paul Stokinger, Ray Simmons, Kenneth Richardson, and Richard McCormick. The zealous and charming cheerleaders, Sylvia Day, Lillian Mulhern, and Joan Dowrey. enthusiastically rattled off cheer after cheer, spurring the boys on to many a victory. A baseball team was organized with John White and William Matthews participating. Clifton Bowley, Richard Balch. Edmund Benvie. David O ' Connor, and Ken- neth Richardson represented the class on the gym squad. The two chief events of the year were the assembly in which a thrilling and moving Texas Round-Up was presented, and the Freshmen Dance, held on April 25, drew a large gathering. Gayly colored streamers and balloons for decorations added to the festivity of the occasion. Sophomores A new year, 1947, has rolled around, and the forty-four sophomores, who sauntered to their new homerooms, were more than eager to get into the swing of things again. This year two members, David O’Connor and Emily Calway, were missing, David enrolling in a military academy in Canada while Emily joined the working girl ' s rank. Dorothy Pratt also severed her membership in April to become the bride of Donald Smith. Two new students, Jean McPhail and Virginia Woodford, were welcomed. The class elected class officers who were: president, Richard McCormick: vice-president, Paul Roberts; secretary, Phyllis Putt: and treasurer, Grace Johnston. Newly elected Student Council Representatives were Jacqueline Savoy. Louise Hobart, and Marilyn Franke. The class was well represented in sports this year with Virginia Woodford, Jacqueline Savoy. Louise Hobart. JoAnne Budd. and Betty Mitchell greatly assisting the girls ' basketball team, with John White, Richard Balch, Kenneth Richardson, Richard McCormick, Paul Stokinger, William Matthews, William Wright, John Ohan, Robert Woodman, and Aubrey Loud proving their skill on the boys’ basket- ball team. Various members of the class also took part in baseball, gym squad, rifle club. Snoops and Scoops, and the cheerleading. The class started the year off by having two success- ful hot dog sales which the school supported. The highlight of the year, the Sophomore Drama, was presented on April 2 with the high school auditorium packed to the rafters. The two comedies, entitled Elmer and the Lovebug and Not Quite Such a Goose, went over with a bang and were the most talked about plays ever to be staged at Sumner High. The advisers, Miss Elna Knutson and Miss Grace McCarthy, put much of their time and energy into making these two plays a tremendous success. At the end of two years, the class of 1950 had certainly left its mark of distinction on Sumner ' s records and was sure to create an even bigger stir in its junior year. Juniors Having acquired two years of experience, the class of 1950 plunged into its junior year with vim, vigor, and vitality. This year many classmates were missing. They were Jean McPhail, Virginia Woodford, William Matthews, Barbara Shallies, Lois Leitch, and Jacqueline Savoy. While the number of students had greatly diminished, there was the pleasure of receiving a new member, Bette Ann Raby, from East Bridgewater. For class officers this year there were Robert Wood- man, president; Paul Roberts, vice-president; JoAnne Budd, secretary; and Betty Ann Raby, treasurer. During the course of the year, Robert Woodman resigned with Paul Roberts replacing him as presi- dent. Bette Ann Raby also handed in her resignation with Jean Stevenson and Grace Johnston filling the vacancy. Student Council Representatives were Richard Balch, Sylvia Day, Lillian Mulhern, and Louise Hobart. Class colors were White and Gold. The members of the class were very active in various activities throughout the school; namely, girls ' glee club, girls’ and boys’ basketball, baseball, gym squad, and Snoops and Scoops. One of the crowning glories of the junior year was the class rings which we conspicuously displayed. Among the money-making events were a hot dog sale, a record hop, and our piece de resistance, a three- act play entitled The Absent Minded Professor, which was proudly presented before a vast crowd on April 29. The cast, which will go down in history for their superb performances, was comprised of Paul Roberts, Roseleen O’Connor. Paul Stokinger, Richard McCormick. Robert Hami ' ton. Nancy Chapman, Joan Dowrey, Phyllis Putt, Richard Balch, Warren [ 8 ]
