Irrelevant work experience in resume

I'm a rising junior in undergrad who recently accepted an IB summer analyst offer. I am revamping my resume, and am wondering if I should remove irrelevant experience from the "work experience" section. Prior to accepting the offer, I had no finance experience, so that section was populated by my somewhat interesting internship this summer and two less interesting experiences from the prior summer (think lifeguarding and informally assisting a humanities professor at my university). Now that I have "incoming SA" on my resume, should I remove these two less relevant experiences?
