But determined, we busily scribbled down new ideas and techniques as We attended the various lectures and Work- shops offered during the fall at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Yearbook Con- vention. Our goal was to recapture, if possi- ble, our Medalist rating. Winter snow days found us busily Writing May and June copy as We strove to complete the Story of the Year. March roared our deadline date. Layout, pictures, and copy were feverishly checked as We strove to complete the book. Waiting only long enough for the seniors to compare the Demarest years to Camelot, ECHOES '69 was sent to the printer, its staff hopeful of an early delivery.
