Letter From the Editors We didn’t know how to write this properly, so, after much debate, we elected to compose a list of the many things that we are eternally grateful for: First and foremost, we would like to thank Google Drive. Microsoft Publisher, we love you. We especially liked it when you didn’t crash. The Steinbrenner administration was amazing. You always supported us. Sometimes they even read what we wrote (we hope that you will read page 11 at least). Emily, you were the best party planner we’ve ever had, and not only because you created the position. Logan, you were a fantastic leader. You actually did work on time. You were the only one who did. Ashton, for being there when you couldn’t. Darin, our submissions magician. Your chiseled jaw will live forever in our hearts (and on page 33). Mattingly, Comrade, you are the truest of Echoeans. We are proud to pass the crown to you. OBEY. Vona. The misters Sizemore and Wolf; you created an invaluable link to the art culture of our school. Madame Miller, you heART is bigger than most. (No, really, Mr. Vona, you are a king amongst men.) Rachel, you made the magazine tangible, not just imaginary. Thanks for putting up with us. Mrs. Syron, you turned on the light. Yes, that is a metaphor (extended on page 62). Dr. Dillon, keeper of media, friend of the ECHO. The Oracle. “Ubi concordia, ibi victoria” –Publius Syrus Finally, we would like to thank each other, and admit that this has all been an elaborate ruse for us to socialize. Now we’re going to the same college so we can still talk. We couldn’t possibly do that on our own. It’s been fun, guys. Thanks, Melissa Ferrin and Wendy Smith 4
