t-Come om, S they. embarkssiress district. to Donna Bnltliicho ads m the bu e igufney to S Following numerous trips down to the printer's office and back to the school, the paper at last goes to press. Then arrives the day that the cubs dread, circulation day, for that means that the greenhorns will have to fold each one of the Echoes. The papers are finally distributed, and the students scour the four pages for their names and those of their friends. And that's the story of the Echo in its entirety. Every fall the newsmen eagerly anticipate the state journalism convention in Lincoln. The Uni- versity of Nebraska annually plays host to hundreds of future joumalists and provides a luncheon, dance and banquet for entertainment. There are panel discussions and contests in which the repre- sentatives participate and attend. Those winning places in the contests were: first in headline writing, Joyce Foged: first in proofreading, Donna Binder: second in copy-reading, Marianne Altmaier: third in feature writing, Gail Speidell. Arlene Foster edited the Echo both semesters this yearg second semester a news editor. Maren Hamilton, was named to aid her. Rosemary Weeks served as assistant editor the first semester and feature editor the second, Gail Speidell edited the feature page the first half. Dick Mayberry and Allen llaggett were sports editors hrst and second semesters respectively. Veda Cillming. Donna Binder and jackie Herring were in charge of adver- tising.

The Roto is a pictoral supplement. which is distributed once a month with an issue of an Echo. Out of Echoed Confusion Comes the Echo wig mi t AAF' A While first semester editors Arlene, Byron, Allen and Rosemary gleefully trim up galley proofs, Gail wonders what to do with those extra two inches on the feature page. Page 12 by Gail Speidell Echo: a voice. product of students. which. for the love of Kearney High, crumples away until nothing remains, save four printed sheets. Two for news, one for sports and one tor feature stories. The page editors that put out the Echo every two weeks begin by drawing layouts of their pages and designing its make-upg or to those who under- stand journalistic jargon, they set up their page dummies. The next step is to show the plan to Miss Norma Hille, the adviser, and get her approval. Then it is up to the poor down-troclden reporters to carry out the assignments which are avalanched up- on them hy the editors. They nose for the news that is printed. After copyreading all the vital statistics about whos w ho on the basketball team and correcting the many misspelled namesg and the society column, which contains pure poison for anyone lacking a sense of humorg the editorial sectiong and the ad- vertisements, the copy is ready for the printer.
