The L.H.S: Echoes has been published every month and each issue has been progressively better. The features have been especially suong this year, and everyone has enjoyed the hairy stories of John Yearsley and John Summers. Bud Richardson has been getting in practice as assist- ant editor, but in the long run it is the typists who make or break the paper, and all credit is due Mar- garet Fauser and Arlene Larm.
