History of Echo High In 1906 our first senior class graduated from the old building . There were only four students in this class. Two years later the new school building was finished and the high school classes moved in. Recreation then was limited to short recesses, in which baseball, basketball, horseshoes, and handball were played. In the early 20 s our school colors became blue and white, and our nickname became Cougars . In the passing years they have added athletLc equipment. Now we have football, boxing, baseball, basketball, and track as major sports. We also have volleyball, softball, and tennis for the girls. Now in 47 we finally have our new gym. It is the largest gymnasium in Eastern Oregon. It has a large stage, dressing rooms, and a very large playing floor. It is equipped with electric score board, heating radiation, new mats, and much more equipment is to be added like P. A. system, electric ranges, showere, lockers, chairs, etc. At the time of the year this annual was made, Echo was standing alone, undefeated in the league.
