THE ALGONQUIN (Student Weekly Newspaper) Algonac High School has sponsored a paper (although rather spasmodically, we confess) for several years. According to our records, the first issue appeared in the spring of 1929. This pro- ject was an activity of the class of 1931, but the number of issues is debatable. The history of the paper until 1939 is nebulous. There are faint re- collections of a group of school-spirited students (among them Don Clark) producing a bi-weekly edition. Henry Anderson was one of the first editors under the organized set-up. Then through the haze appears the face of Marjorie Van Volkenburgh, whose service as editor, I believe, embraced the year of 1942-43. Following Margie’s term came that of Betty Jane Y ahn and Craig Wilson. That was the year of our never-to-be forgotten print- ed editions. Craig worked at a printing establish- ment in New Baltimore and labored far into the night to produce the printed page. But with the termination of Mr. Wilson’s position at the news- paper office came the end of our “elegance ”, We reverted to the mimeograph. What a headache ! We just had to have a new machine ! Through the kindness of the Board of Education and the efforts of our staff we achieved our ambition. Production became easier.We were a growing concern. The editors for the ensuing years have in- cluded Lee Edwards, Joan Evans, Billie Mae Street, and Carol Messenger. This year Elaine Edwards and Harry Wilde hold this responsible position. We are proud of our efforts and happy to re- port that two of our workers ; Marjorie Van V olk- enburgh and Craig Wilson attained high honor sin college journalism. Margie was editor of the Albion Pleiad and Craig is working at present on the staff of the Michigan Daily at the University of Michigan. All hail, Algonquin! 24
