Throughout the year the chorus presented special programs. At Christmas the chorus and English department presented a choralogue for the student body. The Roosevelt and Lincoln choruses exchanged assembly programs.

Working hard on the Echo are staff members (1. to r.) Rosemary Cook, Linda Leininger, Patty Burns, Kay Ferris, Nancy Bruner, Barb Davey, Bill Giles, Bette Gilden, Claudia Zeller, Betty Case. Karen Glass, Rita Manion, Miss McAndless, and Aprill Kraus discuss yearbook layouts. Directed by co-editors Nancy Bruner and Kay Ferris, the Echo editorial and business staffs put in many hours planning layouts, taking pictures, writing copy, pasting up pages, and selling ads. After a slow start in the fall, the staff worked twice as hard to meet their deadline. The 1961 Echo staff includes Bette Gil- den and Betty Case, assistant editors; Patty Burns, copy editor; Claudia Zeller, senior; Bill Giles, photography; Karen Glass, adver- tisements; and Rosemary Cook, business. Norma Vargo ’62 assisted the staff with the design for cover and title pages. Professional photographers show staff members how to get better pictures.
