Ram Page , Have you ever seen this place? It looks pretty cozy. It's kind of a small room with a couch, curtains over the windows, it's own phone, pictures on the walls and the sign publications on the door. Well, if you havenlt al- ready guessed, its the place where the newspaper staff meets. It is here that they get together to work and put out Ram Page, the voice of Green Mountain High School. Ram Page comes out once a month. It covers all of the major is- sues dealing with school, sports events, whatis happening out side of school, and a lot more. The students also have a chance to tell their side of the story by writing a letter to the editor. Other parts of the newspaper include personnal ads, advertise- ments, and columns.
