The Echoes in, former years has bien put out o0ly by members of the thrce upper classes. Priniarîlyr, it is supposeto b. a Seniorproject only, but the help of the underclass- men iw much appreciated, and often the succesu or failure of the Ec hoes lias depended. upon the Juniors and Sophomores c onnected. There is another phase to the Echoes, however.- The Staff mnay put out the beat Echoes in the hiitory of New Trier, yet, if it is flot supported by the student body, it will be a to- tal failure.
