Y., February 20, 1959 Four Pages Gllerald' ames New Members taff Plans Trip to C PA Conferences Under the guidance of hlrs. Patricia Epstein. the Huguenot Herald has provided channels of communication within the school and com- munity. Not only does the Herald expose interested students to a new form ol writing, hut it serves as a means hy which students may tind expres- sion for their literary talents. and achieve iden- tity for themselves within a large student hody. This year, twenty juniors and twelve sopho- mores joined the staff of the school paper. ln ad- dition to xvriting for the Herald, the new mem- hers of the staff puhlished hi-monthly news let- ters for each class. Every year memhers of the Herald have at- tended the Annual Columhia Convention, spon- sored hy the Columhia Scholastic Press Associ- ation. The convention, a three-day event con- sisting ol: lectures and discussions, is concerned with the improvement ol the school paper. The worlcs of various schools are suhmitted and judged. N.R.H.S. has always achieved an out- standing rating at this event. On Fehruary twentieth hlartin Krasner, edi- tor-in-chief, and lvlrs. Epstein, sponsor, attended the Annual N.B.C, Broadcasting News Confer- ence held at Roclceleller Center. Throughout the year, the Herald has proven itself an important factor, necessary in maintain- ing the unity ol New Rochelle High School. EDITCDRS Each year the school paper is financially aided hy the diligent memhers ol the Huguenot Herald Business Staff. This year, hesides providing revenue for the support ol the school paper, the stall: added a sparlq ol originality to the Herald with Upicture ads. This shopping guide displayed students purchasing the ohjects advertised. We sincerely hope that this practice will he continued in 1960. Through the clauntless efforts of Sue Gold- stone and Steve Ahramson, Business Managers, and the support of Miss lxflary Alice Guinee, BUSINESS STAFF 1.1, Advisor, the Business Staff has proven itself a notahle organization. .gn
