February 12, 1927 WINNETKA TALK High School Annual Staff Confronted by Sizable Task The organization staff of the Echoes, New Trier High school annual, is a hard working group of students. There are about twenty-five organizations, which include all the clubs, T. N. T., Honor society, Student council, the three lower classes, and the honor groups in these classes. These honor groups by the way, are something new. It has been decided to choose from the three lower classes groups which correspond to the Honor society in the senior class. Anyone who has been in these honor groups all through school may reasonably ex- pect to make Honor society unless his grades fall terribly in his senior year. The staff has comparatively few members considering the large number of articles to be turned in. Tt includes Charlotte Erwin, Esther Crabb, Harriet Johnston, Karl Yost, Carolyn Baker, Dorland Davis and Robert Harper. Each person has to write at least three articles. These articles will be much the same as they have been in the Echoes of other years. There will be a half-page photographs of the officers or of the whole organization, depending on how it is desired, while the rest of the page will be taken up by an article of about 275 words, headed by a list of the officers, committee chairmen, faculty sponsors, and other important people. Anyone of these "important people" will certainly be thrilled when he sees his name in big print at the top of a long story about his club and his pic- ture up above it. Even those who are only members of an organization may be able to find a picture of themselves somewhere. The stories are written very careful- ly, usually corrected by the faculty sponsor or some other person respon- sible for the organization, revised many times, re-corrected and re-revised by the organization's editor and by the editor-in-chief himself, and the finish- ed product is a very comprehensive piece of writing, well worth being read by any student, especially if he is in- terested in the organization it de- scribes.

T. Posters Entered in Union League Contests Two posters on the subject of Wash- ington's birthday, made by Carol Lou Burnham and Elsie Reinhardt, were chosen from the 55 originally entered by students of the New Trier Art classes, to be sent to the contest being held under the auspices of the Union League club at the Medinah Temple building in Chicago. The contest is one of three, in ode writing, public speaking and poster making, originated as a part of the Peneroy Washington's birthday program, and is open to all High schools in Cook county.
