Why Spectrum? The question of whether or not there is a need for an additional student newspaper in our school district has been raised in both high schools. We, the staff of Spectrum, feel that it is our obligation to state our position as an alternate news service. Both Bemer and Massapequa High ,schools have student newspapers dealing mainly with the reporting of school activities. Each may be adequate in the eyes of many students and we of Spec- trum have no desire to compete with these publications. In fact, our basic goals are the same - to provide students with knowledge of school and community activities through objective and well-informed reporting. However, we feel that because we are a completely student run and financed newspaper we have fewer restrictions on what we .say and how we say it. We welcome all well-written articles of per- tinent and informative content. In addition, we would like to print creative works, such as short stories, poetry, drawings and photography. The wealth of talent in the student bodies of both schools is infinite and virtually undeveloped. Student criticism of existing conditions in the school and community are often written off as naive or absurd. Hopefully, our newspaper will be able to present problems that students encounter and offer possible solutions. Another aspect of Spectrum is necessary to consider. In this school district, competition between Berner and Massapequa encompasses all fields of interest, from academic achievement to sports and music. Contact between students of both schools is minimal and few organizations exist consisting of co-operating students of both schools. Each school is a separate, independent entity. Most functions in one school are not publicized in the others, thus students are not aware of what the other school has to offer in recreational or social activities. Our staff is comprised of students of both schools and we hope to provide information of' interest affecting all students of this district. Spectrum has one obligation - to you the student of Massapequa and Bemer. We would like to provide students with an outlet for ex- pressing a spectrum of viewpoints and creativity. We want to work for expressing a spectrum of viewpoints and creativity. We want to work for and with you. If you are interested in writing or in helping with the technical details of Spectrum please come to our Sunday night meetings by contacting a member of our staff. In order for Spectrum to exist we need you and your support. SPECTRUM STAFF l . K 3 li X , E Ray Russolillo Co-Editor Sue Bernstein Co-Editor Bill Malloy Bus.
