CATASTROPHE
OVERTAKES ECHO
A much-battered copy of
last year's final edition of the
"Echo"- found its way recently into the hands of T/4
Stuart F. King, who is stationed on Okinawa.
Says Cpl. King, "You see,
our post office was caught in
the recent typhoon, and the
Echo was caught in the post
office, or in other words every
thing caught hell. However,
after much close scrutiny I
was led to believe that it was
something concerning graduation.
If it is at all possible I
would appreciate very much
another copy. I'm very grateful to you for remembering
the first time."
A copy of the Echo is on
its way to Cpl. King, with
the compliments of the staff.

Students Enjoy
Campbell Assembly
On March 23, 1945, Loring
Campbell and his wife appeared at
the Central Auditorium to give the
high school and junior college a
taste of magic. His tricks appealed to the crowd and proved to
them that the hand is quicker than
the eye. Who but a magician
could make a rabbit appear or disappear? Who but he could seemingly pick cards out of the air or
throw them into the air and catch
them all at once? Donald Blazing
(Rah, rah) of the senior high
school, happened to be picked as
the magician's assistant. This
young fellow has promises of being a good magician; haven't you
Donald? Mrs. Campbell, who
was constantly flitting on and off
the stage helping her husband,
played her part in the program as
a ventriloquist. The question that
puzzles everyone is, "Who winked
first, Phil Ringgenberg or Charlie
McCarthy's little sister?"
The social committee, composed
of Marilyn Postier and Viola Hanson of the sophomore class, Jean
Hovald and Nancy Anderson of
the freshman class, Donald Peterson of the student council, and
Mr. Schneider, Miss Matt, and
Mrs. Howe, faculty, held its first
meeting on October 29, under the
chairmanship of Donald Peterson.
Committee members voted to hold
meetings on Friday afternoons, and
elected Donald Peterson and Viola
Hanson as chairman and secretary,
respectively, of the committee.
Preparations are under way for
a Sadie Hawkins party to be held
on November 17. A buffet supper
is scheduled for six o'clock, followed by a program of games and
dancing. Committees elected to
plan the party are Marilyn Postier,
chairman of food committee, with
Collette Lyon, Helen Waelawek,
Martha Anderson, Carllie Luedtke,
and Donna Beilke; decorations,
Nancy Anderson, chairman assisted by Donna Beilke, Phyllis Hendricks, Marian Meyer; program,
Viola Hanson, chairman, assisted
by Louis Thomas, Peggy Brown,
Aleen Welch, John Higgins, Alice
Anderson, June Johnson, Elizabeth McConnell, Mary Jo Ger-
licher. Jean Hovald is in charge
of prizes, and the whole committee
is responsible for clean-up.
The next festivity will be the
Gamma Rho's annual Christmas
party on December 20.
