WHO HAS MY CROPPERS? WHERE IS THE CEMENT? THIS COPY IS DEADLY! As going-to-press time approaches, the air in the ECHO corner of Mrs. Ainsley's room grows blue with threats and muttered imprecations. The harried editors are everywhere at once, soothing, encouraging, and restraining the flustered staff members. But despite the trials and tribulations, when the job is finally done, the staff feels that warming inner glow that is the result of creative work, well done. The staff hopes that in the years to come, the '54 seniors will often leaf through this book, remembering again the happy, carefree days of their last year in D.H.S. Tom Higgins, business manager.
