The real work officially began after the launching in assembly of the Echo sub- scription campaign and the organizing of the staff to which any member of the school joe NVeigand. I was eligible. ' With a staff membership of fifty working industriously in their spare time the weekly edition appeared regularly on Friday and was delivered to the subscribers in their . sixth hour classes. l November 16th and 17th, three staff members and Mr. South, supervisor, at- - tended the iournalism conference at Lawrence sponsored by the Kansas University De- partment of Journalism. The representatives, Irene Jacob, editor, John Harvey, adver- , tising manager, and Geraldine Monroe, reporter, brought back many new ideas and plans , , for the Echo. '-li Among other new features of the paper, the past year was the ten point, two 1 column method of presenting the editorialsg the ears at either side of the heading and jf an enjoyable column entitled Shades in Our Corridors. ,. All notable holidays and anniversaries such as Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, All Fools Day, etc., were recognized by special editions, three of which were six pages. L Editions dedicated to Girl Reserves, Hi-Y Music Week, and the Seniors were also pub- A lished. gf' To Joe Weigand, business manager, and John Harvey, goes the credit of the sound 1:2 financial condition of the Echo during the entire year and it is hoped that, in the future, Nair. the Echo may continue successfully. .

' V The Garden of Life Beautiful was chosen as the theme for the year, by a group of representative girls at a Setting-up conference early this fall. The many interesting and varied programs, Worked out according to this theme, included talks 'by Mrs. William ,Allen White, Miss Irene Dean, and Miss Helen Fair, the speaker at the pub- lic installation service this spring. Besides the regular monthly dinners and parties, the Girl Reserve-Hi-Y 'dinner and the Mother-Daughter banquet were outstanding occasions. Soon after school commenced each Sophomore girl was assigned a big sister, who took her to the Big and Little Sister party, intro- duced her, and helped her to adjust herself to high school in general. The members of the Emporia organization were hostesses to 250 delegates to the state Girl Reserve conference held here in the fall. One of the features was a World Fellowship dinner. The Service Committee had charge of the Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets, and of the Christmas party for the poor children. The XVorld Fellowship Committee sent a Christmas box to Korea, pro- ECHO vi U vided Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for Mexican families, and 1 pieced a quilt for a needy family.
