Eager seniors returned from the Columbia Yearbook Convention full of new ideas, and the hope that they could match the Medalist-winning success of the 1966 edition. The 'aliterary people got their first assignments, and diligently perused Bart- lett's Familiar Quotations for appropriate lines of poetry for the Senior Section. Our photographers took up the cry 4'Smile, you're in ECHOESV' and caught our campus clowns in the act of being themselves. Meanwhile back in the ECHOES room, the Business staff typed copy, counted money, and quietly kept in order the mechanics of our organization. After many a close call at deadline dates, we met the final one, now, at last, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief and tell the new Staff how much fun it will he putting out ECHOES '68.
