Dedication We, the 1966 Echo staff, dedicate this book to you Dyer Central High School, in appreciation for the nine years you have served as our home away from home, the site of our activities, and the stage for our growing maturity. We have not been here long, but long enough to wear down the stairs a little, scuff the floors, and fill you with a wealth of memories. Now, although we have outgrown you and will move on to bigger and more modern places and high schoolers will no longer fill your halls, we thank you for a job well done and for nine years of hard work . . . we will remember it always.

Echoes of an Era In 1956 a sprawling brick building opened its doors to 500 students. An era began. It was the beginning of new traditions and new echoes. The first echoes were dim as Dyer stu¬ dents adjusted to their new surround¬ ings. As time went on these echoes grew louder and louder until they reached the deafening pitch of a suc¬ cessful high school. But now, ten years later, the echoes are beginning to fade. In ten years the classrooms have become too small, the halls too crowded. The population grew; the building couldn’t. Now our era is coming to a close as a new high school is nearing completion. Although the era is ending, the echo tradition will only grow stronger and prosper in the new school. It is not as though the echoes of the past were dying, rather they are being trans¬ ferred to another location. Even as the paint dries and the only sounds heard in the new fieldhouse are the men working, the echoes are growing stronger and louder. The echoes in the aging corridors of this school are becoming fainter. We are not sad, but rather, proud. For we, more than anyone else, will al¬ ways faintly hear in the past . . . the echoes of an era.
