I ead All Abcut It! Would anyone like to buy a pa- per? This was a question usually asked by students trom the news- paper staff when they entered Eng- lish classes monthly. The editor of the paper, Senior C017 Newtt)n, enjoyed being editor of the newspaper, but at times he said, It can be really nervewrack- ing and stressful. Also he had a lot of responsibility and pressure as the editor. Cory liked the responsibility and said, I think I work well un- der pressure. He ' s considering a career in broadcast journalism. Mrs. Staheli, the staff adviser. thought that there were some very good writers on the staff and that most of the students on the staff were willing to put forth the effort to get a good paper printed and distributed. The newspaper was usually dis- tributed monthly and included ar- ticles on community problems, school activities and even on bands who were going to play or bands that did perform in Reno.
