THE ECHO An Appreciation One more year has passed and still we are forced to take advantage of the generosity of the Mailer Hard- ware Company, the Masonic Fra- ternity, and the Congregational and Methodist and Federated Churches. To these public spirited organizations we now express our gratitude and we thank them for their sincere friendship when we need it so badly. Thanks are also due to Corrick’s, Bruner’s and Hosmer’s. Corrick’s gave a nice volume for first place in the Literary Contest. Bruner’s gave a valuable set of oil colors for first place in the Art Contest. Hosmer's save a fine fountain pen for first place in the Poetic Contest.

By that time we were accus- tomed to its traditions and customs, and began to take part in its various activities. In our Junior year we were even more active in school affairs. The cap-
