26 The ‘Comet’ Is Revived The year was 1972. For some reason, unknown to any in the class of 1978, the concept and ideas for the East Haven High School Comet Newspaper were dropped, with no one in sight to pick them up again. The class of “78” wasn’t interested, because most of the people in that class were struggling seventh graders. As the years went on, the Journalism class published a mimeographed newsletter instead of a newspaper. In the last few months of the “76-77” school year, a junior named Louis Pellegrino and a staff of eight decided that a one page newsletter was just too small to fulfill the needs of the school. They hustled and got support from both students and faculty. Louis, with his technical assistant. Scott Kenney, and small staff of Paula DiTallo, Mary Johns, Bonnie Radcmacher, Ann Coyle, Wendy Hart. Amy Chisholm, and Lisa % i 1 a a 1 Melillo set out to tackle the enormous job of producing a full and complete Comet Newspaper. With editorial help from Junior Class President, Cindy Martone, contributions from Kathy Kross and typing by Susie Coppola. Louis and the Comet staff saw that their goal would finally be reached. As the school year was becoming history, the Comet hit the halls of East Haven High for the first time in five years, bigger and better than ever. When September “77” came, Lou again gathered his staff. Some reorganization followed as Kirk Tro-fattcr became Graphics Editor and Scott Kenney was given the title of Copy Editor. The paper came out twice in the fall with an ever growing staff of reporters, typists, editors, proofreaders, etc. A new formal was developed before the third issue of the “77-78” year. The first two-color Christmas Newspaper was to be printed at EHHS. The format changes involved the adding of a new layout editor. Karl Ian Sagal, and the use of individual editors for each section of the paper. This format included a news section, a sports section, editorial and announcements sections and classified ads, in addition to a complete comic section, including such topics as Bittersweet, Dear Gabby, Dear Dr. Hoozgotwat and many more. With the paper on a regular schedule of production, Louis and the editorial staff will graduate knowing that the Comet will continue. Lou’s final comcnt was, “I’ll never tell who writes ‘Bittersweet’.” A Aj A A A, Q g A A vrites J
