XVe have art for the artist, music lor the musician, athletics lor the sports-minded. However, we must remember that one of education's most im- portant responsibilities is to teach us to so express ourselves that when school days are over we are prepared to speak clearly and well as citizens ol a democracy. Practice makes perlect is the old maxim which apparently the teachers believe, for they give us lots of opportunity to write that we may become more prohcient. Here we offer lor your entertainment and appreciation some accomplislnnents of Bainbridge High School students that you may be assured our school, too, is sending forth young men and women capable of expressing themselves with clarity and vigor. 69

DID YUH HEAR'5 I come from a did-yuh-hear town. Whenever we meet somebody, the first thing said is, Did yuh hear that Farmer Brown had a new calf or Did yuh hear about the new-fangled carriage that runs with- out a horse or Did yuh hear that the Seniors have a swell theme for their 'Echo'P Wal, they have, 1 hope to tell yuh. They ve immortalized this here old town in their yearbook. First page yuh come to a familiar piece of village scenery hits yore eye They ve shore made a ducky one this time they have they have Guess rn later years folks will look back and say Wal see we got the same old ruts in the streets or mebbe The old clock tower halnt fell down yet or some such wrttrclsm Everywhere are people lrke that I reckon Now take me fir instance Ill be sittin rn an old creaky rocker with my cherished yearbook rn my lap and croak to my grandch ldren Here s the old home town krddres But granny they ll say It hasn t changed a brtl So rt goes but did yuh hear about the swell prcture of the park Cthere I go again and don t forget sleepy Julrand Street rn the fall Yep this town will be real grateful for the 55 Echo rt will make people srt up and take notice and mebbe take a few extra copies QThey re two and a quarter anybody rnterestedPj BIRTH OF OUR ECHO Duffy Kinney Senior It wasnt until the spring of our junior year that the 1955 Echo ever started on 1ts road to becom rng a reality We had watched our upper classmen stumble through the task of editing their books and had listened wrth some envy to therr sighs and qurbblrng concerning the product of their efforts How many times We had said Oh to be a senrorl Our editor IS probably thrnkrng What drsrllusronmentl But its true we must admit all of us were looking forward wrth much anticipation to the Echo that would belong to us alone Little drd we realize the trials and tribulations that would march arm rn arm with our feelings of elatron When Mrs Kinney came 1nto our junlor homeroom that sprrng day so long ago we felt relreved for a moment that something out-of the-ordmary was breaking up the routine Hardly any of us considered the stress that was lard on the importance of electmg ex er so carefully thc staff that would compile our yearbook Regardless of this fact our decisions must have been acceptable in vrcw of the fact that our book was put into prrnt Ihe summer preceding our last year was filled wrth daydreams and ideas which went into actron as soon as school began One of these was that our theme should be the scenes of our hometown in the year 1955 Ihe staff proceeded to set down the plans and begin to give the sketch of the book a lrfelrke appearance The businessmen and local res1dents of Bainbridge soon began to hear a new version of an old appeal Would you l1ke to be a patron of our yearbook Our advertrsrng edltor was put through his paces hrs only job was to secure the patronage of most of the businessmen rn the area keep Mrs Km ncy happy by telling her the progress we were making regardless of our financial status and make no mistakes whatsoever rn handlrng some live hundred dollars One of the first steps was that of having the individual senior pictures taken wrth at least four posed apiece most of us were able to choose at least one that flattered slightly its subject The taking of the actrvrty and class prctures resulted rn tryrng to collect from each group the cost of the picture Collect mg a few odd cents from each student proved to be as temper trcklrng as any other business transaction Always unforgettable will be the special senior pages and Mrs Kinney or Betty forever wantrng to know who held rn hrs possession th1s page or that They could always seem to corner a senior at hrs busiest moment to ask him what he rs has and does Perhaps that was the reason for those muddled answers rt takes trme to thrnk of something really w1tty And that popularity page Wfho ol us had ever really thought about whrch one was the Slll1CSl the norsrest or the II1OSt likely to succeed A common questron heard rn those days of deep nredrtatron was What rs my pet expressronr It was a frequent occurrence rn our homeroom before classes passed to hear Mrs Kinney asking why UIIS write up wasn t rn and rf so and so could type rt next period lf a senror was fervently endeavorrng to pound a page of history into hrs memory he could be sure to be the recrprerrt of her plea Are you too busy to work on a page? Thrs one senror got a farnt chuckle from one such situation Mrs Kinney en tered study hall and addressing one student sard I know you re not finished with your wrrte up but take your time Youve still got ten minutes before rt goes to the publisher Where on earth some of those snaps were dug up we ll never know And naturally enough some of them were never seen ly their subjects untrl our book came to be publrshed Most of the class felt so triumphant at seeing the book go off to press without having incurred any damaging after effects that they little cared whether or not we were made rrch by the project Despite our many groans of agltatron the creation of the 1955 Echo was one of our most gratrfylng CXPCTICHCCS The fun was all a part of the undertaking but the satrsfactlon of belng capable of workrng together rn harmony to produce this our work of art proved to be most valuable 1 1 , . - , , Q ' KK ' YI 1 1 U . 1 11 . . . .
