Future Journalists Learn Mr. John Clifford, Advisor Journalistic work has included both the publishing of 27 issues of the school newspaper ami the 1953 yearbook. While some students de- voter! their time to one publication, others worked equally hard on both. The first function, that of issuing The budget each week, began immediately after classes were organized and continued throughout the year. Regular heats were assigner! most students to check for possible stories, and everyone was granted the opportunity to write. Every pa|»er included all types of articles straight news stories, features, and edi- torials. Much of the paper’s success can be credited to the many hours of overtime work done by Sharon Tripp and Marianne Anderson, co-edi- tors selected by John W. Clifford. The energetic efforts of the adver- tising managers, business managers, proofreaders, and staff reporters constituted the other necessary parts of the journalistic framework. The second function, preparing the yearbook, was slow in getting Neal Smoyer teenier), editor of the Red and Black, and his assistants. Shirley Kent and David llorr eollalmrate in planning pages of the yearbook. Sharon Tripp and Marianne Anderson, co- editors of The Hud net, examine a copy of the paper fresh off the printing press.
