It was planned that the paper should come out every two weeks on Friday. The paper has been successful in as much as it has given us much experi- ence in writing stori-es and composing poetry. School announcements and news, historical articles and literary compositions, as well as jokes and the popular Peeky's Report have made the paper of common interest to all students. This year's experience has been good for us and we hope in the following years New Echoes of A. C. H. S. will become -even more success- ful. The members of the staff of the school paper would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Dearborn for her kind supervision and guidance, which have played a major role in mak- ing the paper a success.
