Students join forces Twenty-five Urbandale students joined together with one common goal: the production of the ECHO, the UHS annual. Editors Kevin Lumsdon and Joan Thompson headed up the staff of the 204- page book with the help of adviser Karen Hartigan. Inflation was the villian this year, as the price of the book reached 59.50 during the first selling campaign and S10 the second. They sold 750 books. Once again, they joined forces with DECA, selling 1500 carnations in the annual Valentine's Day sale. Each group netted 3380. Other projects included a 'Car Smash' and J-Hawk hat sales. Room 503 was occupied day and night, weekends and vacations in production.
