Due to the cost of printing, three issues were mim- eographed and the fourth issue was printed. To raise money to print the newspaper, the staff’s first project was selling cokes at the booth for Dar- lington Academy at the County Fair. During the Halloween Carnival, the staff sponsored a fish pond for the young guests at the event. The staff strove to make the school paper a truely representative spokesman for the entire student body. All major school events, original student crea- tions, and essays of student opinion filled the pages of this year s issues. Indeed the staff had a newspa- per with content they could be proud of. Larry Pietarinen is the president of the acad- emy’s NHS. Winners of the cute baby picture contest were Kim Anderson and Joey Abate. 25
