Sophomore Class History September seventh found thirteen sophomores trooping sadly up the high school steps. During the year we lost a very active student, Jim Savage. We were oil sorry to see him leave os we was always willing to do anything he could for his class. He is now attending school in lone. Two new students also entered the class They were Mary Lou Foirens who came from Hermiston, Oregon, and Judy Walpole from Sacramento, California. The first event of the year for us wos to initiate the freshmen The date of the initiation was September 24th A party wos given that evening, where all the students seemed to enjoy themselves We also gave another party during the year. This was given Oct. 27th in the old gym The gym was decoroted in orange and block, which fitted in very nicely with Hallowe'en We hod a number of candy sales throughout the year which helped party expenses The class officers for the year were: President ................................. Joe Ramos Vice-President ......................... Bob McVicker Secretary ........................ Dorothy Wiglesworth Treasurer ................................. Kathy Ellis Class Advisor ......................... Mrs. Wilkerson Freshman Class History At the beginning of the school year, there were thirteen students in the freshman class The first day of high school seemed a little bit frightening ot first, but after a few days we found that it wasn't so bad. September 24, was freshman initiation, which the sophomores hod all planned out. The freshmen impersonated everything from a boby, to o bride and groom In the evening, on act by each froshie was required; later refreshments were enjoyed To show our gratitude to the sophomores for not being too hard on us at initiation, we had a freshman return party December 4 In October, two new members joined our class. They were Donald Eagle and Ordean Johnson. In February, Alvie Cunningham moved away We were sorry to see him go At the same time Delores Hall entered the class from Weston. All in all, th first year of high school has been a lot of fun, ond not half as bad as we thought it would be. We are looking forward to three more happy years at Echo Hi.

CLASS PROPHECY I was sitting alone in the study hall one day when a little dwarf-like man walked in. He held in his hand a magic book. He walked up to me and said, I have here in this magic book a preview of your future High School Days. I saw as I sat there the future come before my eyes as the pages were turned. I saw, Gary Bohms walking out into the gym floor. He was now manager of our All Star Basketball Team, which had won all if its games so far. It was the greatest Basketball Team in Oregon. The first five players were LeWard Collingsworth, the captain, John Ramos and Gary Dorn as guards, Buddy Graham and Elmer Berry, forwards. They were out on the floor warming up for the greatest game they were ever to play. Doris Bowman and Mary Faro, in blue and white, are leading the Echo Fight Song. At the half, the Pep Club was playing. Clarice Stamper and Kay Laughlm as clarinetists, Molly Esselstyn and Beth Wilson playing trumpets, Betty Marlnee, as drummer, and Mary Lou Mills as Baritone. LaDena McCord is now the school's best singer. Homer Bowman, LaVerne Sathers, R. C. Winks, and Tony Faro are famous tennis players. We are happy to see a successful future for Echo High School.
