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.

MEMOIRS IUJTTDT EXTRA slvon 5712 The student newspaper in c present-day high school is very often taken for granted, although not too many years ago such an institution was not even a dream. It was not deemed necessary by the administrations of high schools of the past that the student body of a school should have an organ of self-expression, wherein the students would be able to participate in voicing opinion and would have a chance to reach the entire student body with their efforts. Today, however, it is gen- erally believed that the school newspaper answers many of the needs of the modern student body. In addition to the above mentioned function of a sounding board , the school newspaper also serves as a centralizing force of no mean power. It draws students together not only by allowing them to share in fresh experiences, but also by helping them to re-share older experiences by means of news articles, editorials, and features. ln this way it is creating school spirit, certainly another great function of a school newspaper.
