It is located on the main floor of our Greg- ory high school building. This office is better known to the students as the newsroom, home of the Gorilla Growls. Holding memberships in South Dakota High School Press Association and Quill and Scroll, the 'student publication is printed and distributed monthly to students and neighboring towns. This workshop is typi- cal of the office of any metropolitan newspaper. Each staff member is assigned to a definite run of news sources. Coverage is given each department and organiz- ation. Personality and occasional features, edi- torials and humor col- umns offer a few of the numerous specialties found in the paper.
