We are honored to try to bind together our memories and give them to you with best wishes in this edition of The Echoes. We are striving to capture in these pages the smiles and the tears, the hard work and the rewards, symbols that will, now and in the years to come, call to memory all the events of this year.

The paper does much more than furnish the reader with school news, It gives the students working on the paper a sense of responsibility and develops their writing ability. Working on the Highlander impresses upon our minds the need for co-operation and gives us some idea as to what is required of a newspaper staff. K ,hw 1, 'fawf w wi - zu., -. f ,M W - 'ISN 'vt .
