Among the people assembled in the Echo room are a few production workers. In the early fall willing hands reached out to take part in putting together the 1966 Echo. Under the watchful eye of Miss Thelma McAndless, the editor and her staff encountered new (and sometimes baffling) situations. As the months rolled by, the challenges were met head-on by the valiant editor and her key assistants as they slaved away page by page to tell the story of a memorable year. ECHO editor, Sue Hart, caught behind the scenes, crops one of more than four hundred pictures processed for the 1966 ECHO. 10

El Cid Ventures Into Thirteen Acre Forest The Roosevelt Swim Club is а competitive club for girls interested in synchronized swim- ming. Those who are new in the club are af- fectionately referred to as Polywogs. After a year of mastering basic skills the girls have the opportunity to become full-fledged Sinkopa- tors. Miss Mary Drake serves as sponsor of and taskmaster to the group. During the 1965-66 year the 37 Swim Club girls showed their talents in many ways: Christmas stockings distributed to patients at the Ypsilanti State Hospital while singing carols; a dinner for the boys’ swim team, en- tertainment courtesy of the Polywogs; the initi- ation of the Polywogs in the late spring. The climax of the year was the presentation of The Thirteen Acre Forest, the water ballet nar- rated by Christopher Robin (Robin Robinson) and Winnie the Pooh (Valerie Leabu). For an hour and a half the wonderful land of make- believe became reality. El Cid, Debbie Davis, prepares to throw her cape to the wind before plunging into her synchronized swim solo.
