CO-EDITORS Sue Berstein. Avic Overbach ECHO ADVISOR AND MANAGING EDITOR Mrs. Hazel Moffat, Jane Erickson Worthy of the many honors it has received is the school paper, the St. Louis Park Echo. The highest standards of journalism were maintained once more under the leadership of Sue Berstein, Avie Overbach, and Jane Erickson, with the advice of Mrs. Hazel Moffat. In the fall the Echo received recognition for its fine news coverage when it was given the “All-American’' award presented semi-annually by the National Scholastic Press Association to outstanding high school newspapers. E’s were seen everywhere during the subscription drive, to the joy of all Echo staff members. These E's were given to all students who subscribed to the paper, and their prevalence in the school proved the success of the drive. The Echo joined with the Pep Club in giving two terrific dances after the football games. These were full of fun for all and full of profits for the newspaper. The staff members were constantly learning as they worked. They attended the Minnesota High School Press Association journalism clinic last spring. At this meeting Avie Overbach was elected secretary of the state organization for the year 1958-1959. The staff also attended the journalism clinic sponsored by the Minneapolis Star and Tribune. Unlimited imagination was the resource for the April Fool issue. Clever writing led many students to believe that everything they read was the gospel truth! T he Echo was published bi-monthly. Few people except those passing the F.cho room on press days even slightly realized the work that went into each issue. Almost immediately after one issue was published, assignments for the next one were given to the reporters. When these stories were completed, work on layout, copy, and headlines began. Much exhausting work and energy has gone into the Echo this year. The Echo staff has tried to cover all school events as interestingly as possible, and they know that they have succeeded when they sec the happy faces of students on every other Wednesday, Echo day. 2F
