With grati- tude and sincere thanks we find it an honor to dedicate our annual to--Mrs. Helen Hardy. 4 ADMINISTRA TION Mr. Victor R. Gilly Superintendent of Schools BOARD OF EDUCATION Without the Board of Education our public school would have a slim chance for existence. We are proud of our School Board, for it is in their hands that the functions of our school lie. We are grateful to them for the careful consideration they have given us in the past year. Members: Mrs. Woodrow Scott, Mr. Elmo Sadler, Mr. Gilly, Mr. Rex Morehead, Mr. Raymond Stowers. Secretary Mrs. E. E. Shannon 6 MISS ECHO AND CANDIDATES Representatives from five high school classes competed for the 1967 Miss Echo title. Miss Joyce Bryant, a Senior, gained her reign at the end of the Echo sub- scription campaign. Other candidates included Sandra Smith, a Freshman; Jeannette King, a Junior; Pat Green, a Sophomore; and Patsy Bruce, an Eighth Grader. Miss Joyce Bryant 7 Jeannette King Pat Green O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain.
