If The newspaper Staff had a new advisor, Mrs. Debra Rodieck. She stated, 'llt is a high pressured position with lots of responsibil- ities. Her goals were to increase the number and quality of stories and to improve the layout design of the paper. Originally, she was to be a full time teach- er, but her interests grew in journalism and although she had never been an advisor ot a newspaper, she thought it would be a great opportunity to individualize and teach writ- ing. The Charger staff meets every day during 6th period in F-8 to prepare tor the seven issues. The first publication was small. How- ever, they made up forthe small first issue by preparing a second which was eight times larger. The Territoial Publishers Co. published the newspaper which cost S250 for every month- ly print. Changes in new positions included News Editor and Feature Editor. Former advisor Mr. Paul Felix stated that he was involved in too many activities this year to be a Newspa- per Advisor too. - By Kim Attolder 9 !.
