Pantherama Post And Negro History Committee The Pantherama Staff has the responsibility of get- ting out the school paper once monthly. This monthly periodical covers all school events. Members of the staff write features and special columns that reveal their writing talents. The publication is most popular with the students. The staff has a roving photographer who takes many of the pictures that are featured in the newspaper. There is an exchange of ideas as our publication is exchanged with other schools. In this way doings in the newspaper fields are usually current by comparison. This year the staff planned and carried out its first i extra curricular money making activity which was the After Dark ball. ' 2: if i p iff lxxxt a- .
