Isla, HI Tlmes staffs serve school throu h Isla Throughout the year room 301 was Mout of bounds during sixth period for all students but the Isla staff. The staff started the year selling more advertisements to local merchants than in the past. This allowed them to add four extra pages to the Isla as well as three colored pages and an embossed cover. The class was run on an informal basis. All of the fifteen staff members except Charles Beard, editor, had never served on the staff before, so all the jobs and procedures that it takes to produce a yearbook were completely new to them. This year's Isla, MWorld on an Island, will also have a sixteen page supplement to add to it. The supplement will include articles about spring sports, and the annual spring Tolo, the prom, graduation and the senior party. These subjects would not have been able to be put in the Isla because the annual had gone to press before these events and activities took place. Members of Isla staff work together to produce the school yearbook.

Mercer HI Times W Last spring the Mercer HI Times received a Medalist rating award by the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion. The newspaper also received the All-American news- paper award for excellence. Fifteen issues of the Mercer HI Times were produced this year, informing students of current happenings in sport, club, and student government news. It served to reflect the interests of the entire student body. The staff, twenty-two students, met regularly as a class each day. The editor-in-chief, Ruth Kramer, and co-edi- tors, Ellen Horowitz and Carolyn Gowans, guided the production of each issue with the assistance of Linda Rog- ers, feature editor, and Ruth Tower, business manager. Mrs. Clara Hayward, adviser, aided the class in learning the correct journalistic techniques to publish a good pap- er. At Christmas, the staff of the Mercer HI Times and Isla provided and decorated a Christmas tree for the main lob- by. In the spring they worked on the annual Publications Banquet to announce the new editors of Mercer HI Times, Isla and Pegasus.
