W ' e were fifty strong, with thirty-one members in the commercial division and nineteen college pros- pectives. We lost one member in our freshman year — Arthur Seaton. We were lucky enough to gain a mem- ber. though. Danny Woodford from Braintree added to our ’eager-to-succeed” group. Upon electing our class-officers, we found Robert Andrea, president; Thomas Smith, vice-president; Dorothy Rosenburg. secretary; and David McKusick, treasurer. Our two Student Council members were Elinor McGaughey and Leslie Marcus. We conducted five class-meetings that year and chose for our class-colors BLUE AND GOLD with STUDENTS TODAY. LEADERS TO- .’VIORROW as our motto. Our one activity was an assembly, in the form of a Quiz Program. Leslie Marcus was Master of Ceremonies: the judges were Elinor McGaughey. Barbara Ernstrom, and Nancy Fulton. After the quiz program we held community singing. Our leaning towards sports was soon realized when we produced a goodly number to represent us in basketball, baseball, gym, and cheerleading. Elinor McGaughey, Nancy Fulton, Barbara Ernstrom, Char- lotte Colarusso. Jean Austin, and Dorothy Rosenburg were on the girls’ basketball squad; Robert Andrea, Ronnie Johnson. Peter Savoy, William Hanney, Robert Coppolo, Aubrey Loud, and Jimmy Buchonis were on the boys’ team. The gym squad received Eddie Marble, Leon Ayvaz. Paul Taylor, and Jimmy Caspersen. With spring came baseball, and quite a few of us found a weakness for it. Peter Savoy. Aubrey Loud, and Robert Andrea helped our very talented pitcher Jimmy Buchonis to make our coach sit up and take notice of the freshmen! Selma Anderson was the only girl to go out for cheerleading that year. Our first year was over. We were shedding our self-consciousness and anxieties and were arming ourselves and preparing ourselves for the coming year which would find us as SOPHOMORES! I ' he latter part of 1948 found us such. Some had struggled through a hard year of Latin only to be faced with another year plus a new language, French. We were pushing ahead, trying to make a good showing for the year. We started by electing class-officers. Robert Andrea, president; Leslie Marcus, vice-president; Thomas Smith, treasurer, and Elinor McGaughey, secretary. We were represented in Student Council by Dorothy Rosenburg, George Harvey, and William McLaugh- lin. Sports brought forth Robert Andrea, Robert Cop- polo, Aubrey Loud, David MacKusick, Joseph Cas- sani, and Leslie Marcus for basketball. The girls’ squad brought forth Elinor McGaughey, Barbara Ernstrom, Jean Austin, Dorothy Rosenburg, Nancy Fulton, Lorraine Carter, and Charlotte Colarusso. We had David MacKusick, Jimmy Buchonis. and Robert Andrea as representatives to the baseball team. The gym squad received Jimmy Caspersen. This year Selma Anderson was received as captain of the cheer- leaders. Snoops and Scoops, and the Echo, our school paper and yearbook, respectively, received Nancy Fulton, Barbara Ernstrom, Selma Anderson, Lillian Sheurs, Elinor McGaughey, Jean Austin, George Harvey, and Cynthia Reynolds. Our biggest event of the year was the production of two one-act plays, Buddy Buys an Orchid” with Robert Andrea in the title role, Cynthia Reynolds as his mother, and Ruth Feeney, Ralph Calway, and Jean Austin in supporting roles. Miss Kathryn Meg- ley contributed her time and effort to this production. Our second play The Ghost Hunters,” was a combination thriller and comedy, with Elinor McGaughey, Selma Anderson, George Harvey, Rich- ard Colby, Leslie Marcus, and Leo Barry. Miss Dorothy Dunbar was the coach of this production. We held a hot dog sale and a Saint Patrick’s Day dance, both of which were very profitable. Our class lost three members in the latter part of this year — Ray Simmons, Lome Cook, and Ronnie Johnson, but they were replaced by two new mem- bers — Danny Brady from Walpole, and Janice Dow- rey from New Hampshire. Our sophomore year was gone; our junior year lay ahead of us, another year to be too short and to slip by all too quickly. [ 8 ] THE ECHO 19 5 1 Here it was 1949, and we were juniors, all thirty- seven of us still going strong. We had lost thirteen members along the winding road, but we were still stout-hearted and eager. We elected class officers. Robert Andrea was once again hailed as president, with William McLaughlin as vice-president, Benita Bertoli as treasurer, and Cynthia Reynolds as class secretary. Our Student Council representatives were Elinor McGaughey, Nancy Fulton, Selma Anderson, and Dorothy Rosenburg. Our junior year brought forth much excitement with the Prom and class rings! Ah, yes, THE PROM! What a wonderful prom it was, one of the largest proms the school has ever had. We had a wonderful crowd and a wonderful band. Vern Young added to the dreaminess with his wonderful music, and we had just received our class-rings in time to show them off that evening, an evening most of us will never forget. On the basketball teams this year we again saw David MacKusick and Robert Andrea on the boys’ team, and Elinor McGaughey, Nancy Fulton, Bar- bara Ernstrom, and Jean Austin gave their time and energy to the girls’ squad. George Harvey was our sole member to the Photography Club. “Snoops and Scoops’’ was blessed with Nancy Fulton, Elinor McGaughey, Ruth Feeney, Barbara Ernstrom, Lillian Sheurs, Benita Bertoli, Selma Anderson, Cynthia Reynolds, and George Harvey. Baseball brought forth Dave MacKusick, Joe Rim- kus, Jim Buchonis, Dick Colby and Robert Andrea. And so our junior year came to a close. One more year to go — a glorious, unpredictable year was in the offing. Seniors at last! Truly a wonderful feeling! One last glorious year! Like all seniors, we strutted as proud as peacocks. We had that old fever — Senioritis, they call it. The teachers put up with us and helped us with our failings. This was our last year, almost incredible but true. Time really flew for us. Our class officers this year included Robert Andrea, president; James Caspersen, vice-president; Elinor McGaughey, treasurer; and Cynthia Reynolds, secre- tary. On Student Council we had Ruth Feeney, Bar- bara Ernstrom, Dorothy Rosenburg, Leo Barry, and William McLaughlin. We started the year with a record hop, held in October. Then came numerous hot-dog sales and four paper drives which added to our treasury. We held a profitable magazine drive, too. Our senior drama will probably be most remem- bered with rehearsals that brought so much fun and the wonderful help Miss Megley gave us. This year we attempted a three-act comedy-farce entitled. “HAPPY DAYS.’’ with Cynthia Reynolds and Robert Andrea in the leads, and Elinor McGaughey, Nancy Fulton, Barbara Ernstrom, Ruth Feeney, Lor- raine Carter, Richard Colby, Jimmy Caspersen, and Eddie Benvie. Jeanne Austin and Dorothy Rosen- burg were the able stage managers. We mustn’t forget Dave MacKusick for his wonderful “almost” per- formance. April vacation brought the class-trip. The long- awaited event was here at last. On April 1 6 we left by train for the big city. We spent four fun-filled days there. We went on tours covering all the high- lights of the city; we saw television shows and vis- ited radio and television studios. We saw stage shows, including t he hit musical, “OUT OF THIS WORLD,” starring Charlotte Greenwood. We went to a ball game at Yankee Stadium and visited various Cathedrals. We ended our trip with a good shopping spree which took whatever funds we had left. The trip that we spent four years in planning was over in four days. Have we set any records? Well, let us think for a moment . . . We’ve had more paper-drives, had a larger prom, and produced more athletes than most classes. We beat the Seniors in both games when we were juniors, and in our senior year we beat the juniors in both the boys’ and girls’ games. We are probably the first class to have the same boy as presi- dent for four years, too. Do we leave any advice? Yes, make use of your four years, for they go by much too rapidly. Before you know it, the security is gone, and you’re facing the cold, cruel world. It really isn’t too bad, though. We’ve had good times and bad times, troubles and laughter. We have probably given the faculty much to think about in these past years, but we hope it was all good thoughts. We’re leaving now, some to go to college — others to start earning a living right away. Robert Andrea will enter the University of Massachusetts; George Harvey, Bowdoin College; Richard Colby, Boston University’s School of Business Administration. Cynthia Reynolds will enter Northeastern Univer- sity’s School of Journalism; Tommy Anderson will enter the School of Engineering. Barbara Ernstrom and Elinor McGaughey will take up nursing at Mas- sachusetts General Hospital. Jean Austin will take up Laboratory Technician work at the Boston Dis- pensary. Yes, we’re leaving now, but we’ve left a part of us in these halls and classrooms. In the years to come we’ll cherish all the pleasant memories dear old Sum- ner High has given to us.

[ 11 ] THE ECHO 19 5 1 (Liadd f ropLec By GEORGE HARVEY Every year at this time — for almost twenty years — I get the wanderlust and take a jaunt around the world to look in on all my classmates from dear old Sumner ' s Class of ' 51. Chartering a plane at Sumner Air Field, I always drop off in New York City to look in on the huge Peerless Transport Industries. Incorporated, owned and operated by millionaire Leo Barry of Holbrook and Miami. With Leo at the airport was Jane Bar- bour. head of his office staff at the 102-story Sumner Building, named in honor of our dear Alma Mater. Since both Leo and Jane look pretty prosperous, I guess business is good. With good flying weather all the way it took no time to get to New Orleans, where the city is still being charmed by its first lady mayor. Dot Rosen- berg. The mayor is entertaining at her home the great comedy team of Hanney and Benvie of Palace Theater fame. Bill and Eddy are so popular that they are now booking dates three years ahead. But now off to South America, a long six-hour flying sprint. I saw bad weather ahead. Suddenly a gale blew up and I was thrown far off my course when one motor forced me to land high on a rocky cliff in the Andes. But I was not alone. In the dis- tance I spied a small group searching for flower fossils. This group, the Florists, Flowers, and Fossils Asso- ciation of North and South America, was headed by Robert Andrea, millionaire florist. Leaving no stone unturned, the group pushed aside a huge boulder to reveal none other than Mad Man Anderson working steadily on blueprints, his cave lighted by a wax candle stuck in a bottle. His invention, with an advance sale of 132,729,007, not only paints houses and peels potatoes but also generates heat for Room 8 on cold days. With a little persuasion “Mad Man fixed the motor for me, and I went to newer lands. While over the French Riviera I decided to buzz .Mrs. and Mr. Cynthia Reynolds. Cynthia changed the French customs completely by leading a general revolution against men. Her wrath was brought about by William Mills’ latest best seller, “Why All Women Should Be Shot, or Women, You’re Useless.” But all of a sudden as I roared away, I was en- veloped by a fog. However. I found it wasn’t fog at all but David MacKusick testing a new jet plane brake. It is designed to bring to a complete stop a plane going 900 M.P.H. He stopped only a minute before shooting off, leaving me to fly on my merry way. I took it easy flying over Southern France toward Paris but at last arrived at the city to refuel and take in the sights. On the swank right bank I found the shop of Chi Chi La Sheurs, Artiste Magnifique. Lillian is now putting the finishing touches on her latest master- piece, Nancy After Dark, a tribute to the world’s greatest fashion designer, Nancy Fulton. Nancy caters only to the cream of Paris society. At last I returned to the plane and made a quick journey across the Channel to London to see again another Sumnerite, Ralph Calway. Sir Ralph, named England’s most eligible bachelor, was recognized by London Society because he never arrived at parties on time. Also traveling in England was Jeanne Austin, noted biological analyst and lecturer, who gave a command speech at the Palladium upon the request of the King. She spoke on the major differences between fleas and mosquitoes. While flying low over Norway, I could see great crowds of people in the streets and flags waving every- where, for it was coronation day. King Richard was given this honor because of his great popularity among the people. He is the first of the Colbys to hold the throne. Singing at the coronation was the Norwegian Nightingale, Margie Mercer, whose sing- ing thrills the hearts of millions. In Germany I landed again for a rest at the private landing field of Field Marshal Peter Benvie. Peter keeps a little 500-acre estate here to relax after hectic Washington conferences. Pete told me to stop at Geneva for a surprise if I should go in that direction. And so off I went again into the wild blue yonder headed for a big surprise. Because of my hurry I almost overshot the runway, but good luck has always been with me. Yes, I certainly was lucky and surprised when I read in the paper that very day: George Harvey voted new head of National Teachers’ Clinic for victims of studentitis. Every teacher in the country was after that position. I was even more surprised when on stepping out of the cockpit I was met by James Caspersen. new [ 12 ] THE ECHO 19 5 1 head of Geneva Auto Industries, and big Joe Rimkus, president of Swiss Motor Workers’ Union. Joe and Jim never come to blows over wage disputes or strikes proving the old Swiss theory of friendship holding true in every line. I took my leave here early to get across the Medi- terranean before dark. The setting sun sparkled on the water and made me wish I could stay all night. But at last I reached the vast expanse of the Sahara desert where I saw a scene I’ll never forget. After circling twice, I settled near a large oasis and ran to meet my old friend Peter Savoy. While he took a rest, he told me that this was the forty-seventh service station he had built on the desert. Camels, of course, are his most important customers. He said the space was granted to him by Queen Shalott, alias Char- lotte Colarusso, queen of Egypt. On farther I flew, over the black jungles and beat- ing drums of the natives until at last Johannesburg loomed in the distance. Dawn was here at last, and the rough little airfield received its first visitor of the day. After a little sleep and food, I trouped off through the town toward the address on my card: Elinor McGaughey, R.N., accredited nursery school for children. Most of the children at the home, Elinor told me, were children of diamond workers so that she was always paid in diamonds instead of money, a very interesting way of doing business. Only a short distance away at Capetown I found that two of our boys were doing business hand over fist in used-car sales. Owner Lawrence Hobart and supersalesman Robert Coppolo shipped in old ’51 model cars and put new chassis on them selling each as a new model. There’s still a spark of the Sumner spirit in the old boys yet. After a pleasant trip over the ocean, I came to land on the private estate of William McLaughlin near Burma. Bill retired on his advertising royalties re- ceived because of his baseball skill. The income from a hardtack concern alone provides a whole year’s income. Just over the forbidden Tibetan mountains I was forced to land because of the weather. Finding myself near a town, I ran to find cover in a little building under a large Chinese sign which, of course, I couldn’t read. But once inside I saw another sign in English over a line of new and old automobiles: “Coolies, take a load off your shoulders. Cars rented by the day or week.’’ This enterprising concern was started by Benita Bertoli and Lois Sturgeon who have branch offices all over China. After a long trip to Australia I landed in the capital to see Lorraine Carter, the new Secretary of State. They found they needed somebody that could get along better with people. Lorraine certainly has the ability to do that as well as keep the country’s affairs in order. I was only as far as Portugal when my plane broke down completely. But it was a lucky break because there was Dr. Marcus right there to help. Leslie, the famous brain specialist, was taking a vacation here after his world lecture tour and asked me to return to the States with him on Harland Lively’s private yacht. I was glad to see Harland again and also to have transportation home. It would be a lot slower, but I’d certainly enjoy it. Harland’s yacht was so fast that I was home before I knew it, arriving at San Francisco about noon time. I hurried by train to keep a television interview with that famous movie star interviewer, Selma An- derson. Selma gained fame when she demonstrated her ability to get a whole hour’s program into fifteen minutes’ time — really a fast talker. After my appearance with her, she reported on the success of the “Big Two,’’ Barbara Ernstrom and Ruth Feeney, the modern Florence Nightingales, who have just completed their forty-seventh hospital in Rangoon. Their next project is a modern clinic at Sang-Sangpoo, Tibet. I’m willing to bet they will complete it in no time. But now it’s up in the air again, this time in a commercial liner, to return to good old Sumner Air Field and Holbrook. I don’t know when I’ve had a better time.

The play concerned a mischievous young miss, Betty Clark, played by Cynthia Reynolds, whose one ambition was to keep things rolling. When Betty, posing as a romantic romeo called Sylvester VanDyke, started wooing Miss Rosemary Smith, played by Ruth Feeney, via the mails, a bomb exploded. Betty got her idea from Geneva, the Clark’s maid, enacted by Nancy Fulton who had been cor- responding with Her.man Brown, a lettuce rancher, played by James Casperson. In the middle of this, Betty posed as Geneva and began a flirtation with a certain Mr. Larry Day, a role taken by Richard Colby. Mr. Day and his aunt. Mrs. Ida Fuller, played by Barbara Ernstrom, were entertained at tea by Mrs. Clark, the part being played by Elinor McGaughey, who hoped to match her daughter, Lucile, performed by Lorraine Carter, with Larry. However, Larry seems more interested in Betty who was not only desirous of winning him for herself but also for her father, played by Robert Andrea, who was desper- ately in need of a backer for his subdivision. Paul, Lucile’s boyfriend, enacted by Edmund Benvie, was Mr. Clark’s right hand man whose one ambition was to make Lucile happy. When Ro.semary Smith and Herman Brown showed up looking for their respective mates, the climax was reached. Everything turned out all right, however, with our heroine winning our hero as her husband. Jeanne Austin and Dorothy Rosenberg proved to be very capable stage managers and much credit is due to their efforts. The play was directed by K iss Kathryn Megley.
