Journalism ' s Finest ' Never blind to the facts ' The Post the Times and now. The Lance. The 1982-83 school year saw our own newspaper. The Lance, take its place among the great publications of our time. The previous year, the paper was produced by a diligent few who labored long hours after school. Those few saw the fruits of their labor materialize into a seventh period newspaper class for 1982-83, making it possible to expand campus coverage in all areas. . They are led by two-year Editor-in-Chief, Theresa Mc- Carthy. About McCarthy, a Senior, Sullivan stated, The- resa is a born journalist. A great deal of credit for the improvement of the Lance must go to her. She is an exemplary Editor-in-Chief! Managing Editor, Pat McMahon, also a Senior, is accord- ing to Sullivan. One of the most creative individuals I have worked with. Sullivan also went on to commend other Lance members such as Jane Kelsey, Karen Lund- stram, Ron Tyree, Rod Metoyer, Claire Jarboe, Phil Ten- or io, and Judy Staley. With the introduction of the Journalism class, reporters and edi- tors will learn the ropes of news reporting and insure that the Lance will continue to improve for years to come.
