Did you finish those heads? , , , When'5 the deadline? , , . What happened to those ears? . . . Say! Where the heck did my feature go? . . . Such are the queries and evidences of distraction expressed by those youthful journalists, the members of the Cresconian staff. Digging through dirty attics for interesting cuts and unearthing student opinion, the staff produced . . . of all things . . . a monthly newspaperl Since there was a ulournalism class only in the first semester, the second semester staff was composed of volunteers. It became an extra-curriculxtr activity with worlc being done sixth periods and outside of school hours. XVQ certainly have to hand it to them .... They published a good paper under the direction of Miss Banker.
