they took: the responsibility ECHOES Adrien Bien, our Editor-in-Chief, despite all her problems and responsibilities, still finds time to smile. Thoroughness, thoughtfulness and inventiveness are all qualities which when joined together made up the Echoes Staff of '59. Their industrious hands labored for many days trying to create a book worthy of L.M.H.S. Adrien had many of the responsibilities on her shoulders but could always look to her editors, their assistants, and their staffs for help. Ronnie and his assistant, Dru, were real go getters” in all fields concern- ing the finances of this year's Echoes. In preparing factual and interesting copy, Colette and her assistant, Joan, had to use originality and creative- ness. Jane and Jack combined both talent and hard w'ork in order to come up with the results they did. Bruce spent timeless effort in reflecting, through photographs, this year of '59. All staffs had the assistance of the yearbook secretary, Diane, who was considered to be their Girl Friday.” Both editors and staff can find no way to express their gratitude for the never ending efforts that their adviser, Mr. Don Mills, has put forth in order to create the Echoes. Two other teachers contributed their talents: Mr. Patrick Brostowin, literary adviser, and Mrs. Jean Marcus, business adviser. Adrien and the staff were sparked with enthusiasm from the day they started working on the Echoes of '59 until the day the book was com- pleted. They know that the entire school was dependent upon them to make their yearbook something of which to be proud—and that’s just what they did. Our school yearbook, Echoes of '59, was made possible because the staff worked diligently but mainly because they worked together. Here are the two people who control the finances of our yearbook: Ronnie Ciccone, Business Editor, and his assistant, Drusilla Honsch. Art Editor, Jack Geisinger, and his assistant, Jane Sterrett, relax for a moment before they continue working on the yearbook layout. Sparkling, vivacious Colette Cor- liss, our Literary Editor, cheered the staff along. We have finally caught our friendly photographer, Bruce Bosinius, on the opposite side of his camera. It was a rare moment, indeed,when this picture was taken, because Diane Forrester, our Business Sec-

On Friday evenings between eight o’clock and eleven P.M. the facili- ties of the school were turned over to the students. There was dancing to the juke box as well as ping-pong and knock hockey games going on. A snack bar was in operation and many of our teachers attended to chaperone and direct the affairs. Mr. Shapiro was our Director and he spent many hours preparing and insur- ing the success of the functions. Among the many different eve- nings held was a Pizza Pie Night” and of course, our annual Halloween Costume Dance. The Recreation Dance Band, under the direction of Mr. Lutri played for many of these outstanding nights. Mr. Lutri seems to be lost in the midst of the rollicking students at the Halloween Dance. The dance proved to be one of the most successful functions that this committee sponsored. Many of the students came in costumes. These costumes were both frightening, exciting and original. Students from all grade levels attended this wonderful party.
