Having lost only three people from last year's staff, the editorial board was experienced. Taking on six and eight page issues and widening the reading variety were some of the major changes made. With each issue, the ECHO seemed to improve with layout and context. Mr. William Ryan and Mrs. Muriel Dember stood by and watched the ECHO staff turn into a well-rounded, self-sufficient staff, applying everything that was learned last year. What Editor Mona Riscoe forgot, the assistant Phrank Cuiffetelli remembered. And thank goodness for Bill Rossiter, who was always ready with a drawing for a space filler. We definately cannot forget our sports man John Draghi who got the sports pages together issue after issue. But a newspaper is not a newspaper without a faithful general staff. A word of thanks to all who helped including Maurice, Knyvett, Doug, Rich, Jackie, Betty, Francine, Colleen, Richie, Alfred, Ken, Scott, Sandy, and many many others too numerous to mention. Many times it seemed like a newspaper wasn't coming out when deadlines were missed and paste-up days were canceled, but one way or another the Echo came out on time. And, sometimes, the pressure got to be too much, but the finished product made it all seem worthwhile. For the good times, for the bad times, for all times, the Echo will be a symbol of one of the outstanding achievements imbodied in the Amityville Memorial High memoirs and traditions. l ' vom.. 56 No. 4 Mona Riscoe W Editor-in-Chief ffhrank cauffereui E glam Dgfthlr 'X Assistant Editor . ports ' 0 Bill Rossuter Art Editor Contributors: Jackie Bayon, Brian Miller, Richard Blaustein, Nanette Elman, Billy Jones, Jackie Douglas, Maureen Doerner, Maria Barba, Renee Sullivan, Joyce Azukas, Nancy Bonaventura, Patty Grant, Francine Seaman, Alfred Consentino, Charles Rios, Scott Hunter, Colleen Doherty, Maurice Speller, Jacob Jenkins, Betty Robinson, Mike Richman, Sandy Robinson, Don Denzler, Ricky Camacho, Toni Bean, Beverly Chebuski, Kim Yaskulski, Glen Rebholtz, Richie Williams, Shari Wischnie, Ken Klassert, Dennis Siry, Ray Montelione, Monica Stewart., Steve Vitolano.

Bloom, Mrs. Ramseur The Human Relations Club was developed to bring about a better understanding between people in our school-community who may or may not have different points of view. It's members have attempted to imple- ment this goal through various means through the years. Human Relations Day , classroom communication ex- ercises, plays, the decorating of the walls of the cafeteria with a human relations theme have all been attempts to bring about unity and understanding through diversity. Members of the club may participate in community sponsored activities and may involve themselves with other schools where this is indicated. The skills learned pass from one student to another. Two years ago when the community Chapter of Amer- ican Field Services was organized, the school chapter was incorporated with the Human Relations Club because of the similarity of goals. As a result the club activities grew to sponsoring an AFS Day at which time a number of foreign students come into the school to share their culture and experiences and to learn more about the American way of life and its peoples. Through this students serve as good will ambassadors and assist in bringing about understanding among peoples. Students from AMHS have gone abroad for both summer and full year exchange. Jane Ann Bean spent the summer in Germany. This year our program is also focusing on the transi- tion of students from Junior to Senior High and in- volvement in the total community through the activities. We believe just interacting with others in extra-curricu- lar activities will bring about a better understanding. Walk together, talk together, all ye people of the earth .
