To gain new ideas and compare notes with other schools, the staff members attended the Catholic Publications Conference at Fordham University on November l. Later, in Feb- ruary, representatives traveled to Caldwell College for a Press Day. At the 42nd Annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention, March lO-l2, girls attended meetings at Columbia University, and heard speeches by staff reporters from major New York newspapers and magazines. Editor Connie Ferreira and Business Manager Kathy Gartland acted as chairmen at two of the sectional meetings while Advisor Sister Mary Ellen gave a talk on a method of producing a school newspaper. The convention ended with a luncheon at the Americana Hotel and an address by Vice-Pres- ident Hubert Humphrey via a White House line. During the year CHIPS has received the Gallup Award from Quill and Scroll, as well as the All- Catholic Award from the Catholic Scholastic Press Association. CHIPS also merited Medalist from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. What will the lead story be?
