' A 4 1 ' ' If :' : 'fs Y' i '4 ' A ' 4 Mr. WGordon tWesner, as Aa teacher of history, came to Jun4 ior fHigh' School in September 1928, and finding school a bit dull for the pupils, the William Penn club was organized in his home 'room, 'later to expand to all the classes of the school. The editing and.printing of the school paper, WThe Echo,u was the next step in the line of pro- gress, and what a source of hap- py anticipation. Work, play and education oombined in one more activity under his guidance. If Mr, Wesner had done no more than to supervise the cre- ating and progression of our school paper, WThe Echo,W it would have been a colossal under- taking but he did not stop hereg he supervised the selecting and purchasing of a new automatic ,interesting assembly programs a N ,f . mimeograph' so that more papers? could be printedg the circula- tion jumped from '4OO Ato 7005 then he conceived the ideal of assembling them all into an ana nual,' the result! of which you see. It has been said of him that in one teaching year his ex- tra-curricular activities almost doubled the amount he must do in his class room. Besides this he has prepared the way for many gifts to Junior High School as well as the preparation of many The growth, Kand may we say magnitudel of the Echo would not have been achieved had it not been for the seemingly untiring efforts of such a willing worker. These and many other happy events will long be linked with Athe name of Mr. Gordon Wesner. igzii A N f X p X -122 fl

Before the first issue was printed, the entire school was wondering what nThe Echon was to be since notices of its coming had appeared in each home room. The paper met with general ap- provalg between four hundred and six hundred copies of each issue were sold. The Annual was given to each pupil who supplied over half the copies for binding. In 1929 the yearly subscrip tion rate was reduced from fifty four cents to fifty cents, The sales increased .because of the convenience and economy oof the new proposition. The 1950 annual a larger, more interesting year book won second 'place in the Missouri State Contest, fi Members of the Staff are ae- signed different tasks in help- ing printf the WEcho.N.
