GOULD At The Transcript Press ATHOL, MASSACHUSETTS School Publications A Specialty Page Two Patronize Our Advertisers Smith Academy, Hatfield, Mass. TO THE STAFF : Another successful year for the Purple and White Echo has passed, and I want to take this opportunity to express my appre- ciation for the loyal cooperation and effi- cient work of the staff. The paper this year has been both a literary and a financial success, thanks to the energy and enthusiasm of the capable staff. Nowhere else could a better group be found to work with, and I hope they have enjoyed their work as much as I have enjoyed mine. In closing, I want to thank our faculty ad- visers, Miss Ryan and Miss Baker, for their valued assistance in making- the Purple and White Echo a success.
