GAA Expands Girl’s Sports Activities The Girls Athletic Department expand- ed this year to include a newly formed club, the Girls' Athletic Association. The G. A. A., with the help of Paula Zeller, sponsor helped bring girls sports out of the past and into the future. The girls or- ganized softball, basketball, volleyball and track to compete against other schools. They also organized gymnastics and arch- ery within the school as well as basketball and volleyball. The girls worked hard throughout the year making money to pay official referees. These money making projects included a bake sale, selling of mums at Homecoming, and selling of candles. Practice and hard work paid off in experience and expansion. With this ex- perience the girls plan to have a more sports filled future.

Echo Records 1972- 1973 Year’s Events There is a big industry called Journalism. It employs millions of people with specialized talents in a countless variety of jobs. A grow- ing number of professionals now realize some of the most creative ideas are springing from the minds of yearbook staff members. The staff consisted of interest- ed and talented members that had something new and exciting to of- fer. They strived to reach the goal of a book, worth the time and mon- ey put into it. A book that would be treasured down through the years and looked back on as that was a very good year .
