THE MAROON WAVE The Maroon Wave Staff was organized to enable the boys and girls of Atkins High School to be intelli- gently informed concerning current school events. The staff or club makes possible the swift crystallization of public opinion by the production of the Maroon Wave — the school paper, published for the development of student expression. This newspaper has become an important factor in developing the scholastic and social life of the Atkinites. Though the activities for the Maroon Wave Staff are restricted to a small field, the journalism students carry out many serv ices of a newspaper. The eager journalists try to educate the average student in the re- sources of his school and in its needs, educate the parents of the community by informing them of the school system and its operation, and try to be exact in their stories by maintaining a high standard of correctness in grammar, punctuation, and principles of expression. The staff members have as their aim: To serve as guardians of the rights of their student readers. The members of the staff elected for the 1948-49 school term are: Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor Business Manager Feature Editor News Editor Headline Editor Photographer Copy Editor Sports Editors Associate Editors Reporters Special Writers Club Adviser Dorothy Carter Ada M.
