MEMOIRS DTJTTD? AE .TUNE 1952 The school's paper has been a long time in develop- ing. It is now published four times a semester, with the last issue a double one, reviewing the semester's accom- plishments, and briefing the students about the graduates. Many of the newest techniques in journalism have been applied to the paper. On the front page, is usually found an article of great importance, a message by the principal or some dignitary, plus writeups of some eventful happenings. Turning the page, we find upon close examination the editorial, news items, incidentals, and a religious message. Page three is the feature page, with such articles as a personal column fcalled Pupil's Pupil , or Public Eye J, JOURNALISM A. Shiner, R. Cohen, M. Raitzilc, E. Siegel, J. Horowitz, B, Brody, G. Brodsky movie, music, and book reviews, and usually some humor. The back page of the paper is devoted to sports, and any miscellaneous articles or jokes which the stat? deems suitable for publication. The students who comprise the staff are from the senior class, and conduct the articles of the school paper on a democratic basis. They elect the editor-in-chief, who then assigns positions to the staff members. All of them work together in earnestness and close harmony. The students have a natural 'nose' for news and apply their journalistic knowledge in writing informative and interest- ing news stories. The paper, rightly called the Acade- mocrat, is as its name indicates, the democratic voice of the Academy student body.
