No one expected anything out of the ordinary in Trailblazer. Its readers were completely satisfied with a run of the mill paper about Lutheran High School. Students grabbed it up and devoured it regard- less of its sameness. Receiving almost no criticism the staff fell into a rut and put out a newspaper each month that looked very much like last month ' s — or even last year ' s. The year looked empty and boring for this year ' s staff. Even the problems encountered were the same year after year. They had to fill eight pages with material that would fit easily on half that space and they had to make financial ends meet without charging the readers anything. Why don ' t we do Trailblazer a little differently this year? someone spoke up. The staff members pon- dered the question. Why not? And so they changed things. September ' s issue was only four pages long and said that non-student readers would have to pay for their subscription. All across LHS Con- sumerland hands clapped foreheads in dismay. How dare they change Trailblazer from what it used to be? However the staff was exultant and rejoiced at not having to try to fill in blank spots in the paper.

After all, it was still about them, still filled with regular.
