THE ECHO

The St. Louis Park Echo, Park High’s official weekly newsletter, was started in 1917 as more of a pamphlet. It initially contained gossip, sports coverage, and jokes. The first editor was Winifred Fox, a Brookside resident who walked 45 minutes each way to school (except the times when she could catch her friend’s horse and sleigh in the winter). Winifred was valedictorian of the Class of 1917, and went on to marry Donald Fletcher.
