Echo: School voice Once a month, 7th hour, you can hear the cries Echoes, Echoes ring- ing through the hall. The Echo is run just like any other paper. Sto- ries are written by the students themselves. Junior and Senior edi- tors assign the reporters to various stories of interest within the school. Some of the regular features are a sports column written by Bill Schrank and a Teacher Feature to acquaint the students with the new teachers. An inside look into the lives of Seniors is written in the Personality Parade. After the students write their stories they are turned into the typists who are also students. When they are typed, the stories are turned over to the Announcer for printing. Various businessmen down- town assist in the cost by adver- tising. 14
