With Nancy Zwolanek serving as Editor-in-Chief and with Beverly Mose, Sue Lamb, Donna Jean Schmoll, and Elinor Larson, Assistant Editors, the best Senior Year Book to date is now in your hands. It has an attractive cover of blue threaded with gold. It has many pages of interesting reading, many pages of pictures, it gives a complete resume' of school activities for the year. It is an album of memories preserved for you through the coordinated efforts of members of the Echo Staff. It has meant long hours of cooperative effortg long hours of typing, stenciling, and duplicatingg dozens of letters soliciting adver- tising through which most of the cost is defrayed. We hope you will enjoy the Year Book and that in years to come, as you some- times turn its pages, pleasant memories of life at Port Byron High will awaken and you will relive your happy high school days.
