Not letting anyone get in the way of her work, Michelle Rios blocks all other things out. Being cautious, Sonya Warren decides that it's best to proofread. What's the Scoop? ith the hiring of newspaper sponsor, Ms. Terry Lewers, The Independent Pen was once again a reality. To offset the expenses of printing costs, the staff sold Dragon license plates. When February rolled around, a special Valentinels Day issue offered students the chance to drop a line to the special one in their lives. In addition, to heighten interest, the small but capable group of nine presented a slide show to junior high schools in order to elicit interest a stronger mass communications department at J efferson. April meant convention time as four staffers ventured to Orlando for the Florida Scholastic Press Association. There, they attended seminars and participated in contests.
