Lionvs Roar Staff Beverly Maddox - Editor Gloria Brouse - Bus. Mgr, Judy Johnston - Feat. Editor Linda Scott - Grade Sch. Editor Mike Johnson - Sports Editor Mrs, Steele - Sponsor. FROM THE EDITGR THE LION'S ROAR is a service publication, designed to keep the students and faculty informed about happenings involving the school. The ROAR likes to think of itself as representative of MIHS to the schools participating in our exchange program, and to the adults in the community who might read it, For that reason, we try to maintain a high standard of coherent reporting. During the '62-'63 school year, the editoral staff had an idea to turn the elementary section into something more newsworthyg this year the idea became The Cub, Through this newspaper within a newspaper, we have tried to act as a link between MIHS and Ben Cravens. Work on each issue of the ROAR is begun about a month before the expected publication date. Assignments are issued, a date due set for the news, and the front page planned. Each month, the editor feels that there will be no last minute scurrying to get the paper out, but each month finds the editor and business manager running the lastpage off and frantically stapling the ROAR together, bare- ly meeting the deadline. But after the rush is over, and the papers are on sale, a kind of contented job-well-done attitude falls over the staff. Next month, we think, will be easier and less rushed. It never is, though, and if it were - well, life as an editor would be very, very dull. Speaking as an individual now, not for an organization, the editor would like to thank the rest of the staff for the work and the time they contributed toward making the ROAR a success. An editor alone cannot make a newspaper - a sponsor and a staff are necessary. The editor of THE LION'S ROAR'is fortunate in having capable and hard-working ones. Most important of all, I would like to thank you students for buying and reading the ROAR.
