Since then the Buzz has ranked high among the interests of the Brosville students, faculty, and community. This year's staff consists of thirteen office-holders and thirty-one reporters. Under the guidance of their friendly and capable sponsor, Mrs. Glenn R. Yates, the staff members published six issues during the year. Staff members may be found almost every period of the day working in the Buzz office. They are busy writing, typing, proofreading, counting headlines, ar- ranging copy, and all the while, struggling to meet the deadlines. The publication includes news of the high school, the grades, special events, sports, activities, cam- paigns, school gossip, and community club news. The aim and purpose of the Buzz staff is to pre- sent the news faithfully, accurately and impartially.
