In Memoriam To Graduates And Parents— Congratulations On Pages 14 and 15 of this issue of THE ECHO you will find pictiiires and individual sketches of the sons and daughters of our people who are graduating from high school this year. These fine young graduates total twenty, an excellent number, we think. These youngsters have not reached this milestone in their progress in an easy manner; it has been attained by twelve years of continuous and conscientious effort. Neither has it been an easy road for the parents. Many have sacrificed so that their son or daughter could earn that coveted diploma. Many parents were unable to finish high school themselves and the honor that their child is now achieving represents the fulfillment of a dream that maybe they were not able to realize in their youth for one reason or another. Our graduates, as we like to call them, are an out standing group. Besides being a handsome, clean-cut group of young citizens, their accomplishments in their respec tive schools are notewrothy. Two were editors of their school papers; one was salutatorian; several were mem bers of the National Honor Society; others were school leaders in music, sports, dramatics, and similar activities. Some have already settled on their life’s work. One plans to get a doctor’s degree in geology; another will study architecture; others will enter the professional fields. To all of them—and to their parents who have ev ery reason to be proud at this time—THE ECHO, speak ing for more than 1,600 of us, extends hearty congratula tions and sincere wishes for a happy and fruitful future. o O 0 Good Companies Don’t Just Happen Good companies don^ just happen. Behind sound, suc cessful companies are years of planning; many mistakes and disappointments; a tremendous financial investment; and a team of interested, satisfied people. If you have put any thought at all on the subject, you have come to realize that the benefits derived from good companies are mutual. To be a part of a good company can mean many things—^the most comfortable working con ditions, enjoyable off-the-job recreation, vacations with pay, the assurance of understanding assistance with your problems and countless other advantages. To be a part of a good company also carries with it certain obligations—^for good companies are not built with half-hearted effort on the part of those who make the plans or those who carry them out. We like to think of it as a scale that is in perfect balance. Maintaining the bal ance on one side, we see those who are steering the course making every effort to see that the business is being con ducted in an honest, considerate and efficient manner. On the other side, we see a group of happy, skillful people keeping this balance with high quality production and a keen enthusiasm and pride for their part in the company’s success. If one side fails to do its part in maintaining the balance, then both eventually suffer. Embodied in the plans of the founders of Ecusta was a fervent and sincere desire that ours would be a good com pany, one that would be an outstanding example of our American system of free enterprise. We feel that this spir it has spread to everyone of us who is employed here. The continuation of such a spirit will insure the successful op eration of our company in the future. For, reip^mber—?
