Miss Scott Gridley Community High School's first weekly school paper was published this year. The high school has had incidental publications in the past, but The Gridlite is the first weekly at G. C. H. S. The newspaper was started and organized by the Speech Class under the direction of Miss Scott. There was so much news the first week of the second semester that the Speech class decided to put some of it into print. This re- sulted in an all-school paper. A staff was organized and it has functioned weekly for the second semester. The purpose of the newspaper is to convey to the students the idea that the school is a little community in itself. It has its organizations and social functions as does the community. Another purpose is to create student loyalty. By showing students what others are doing, it makes them strive for their own betterment. The staff and other students have greatly enjoyed and benefited by ex- changes with other schools. The Gridlite staff for '41 wishes for the continuance and loyal support of The Gridlite in future years. C253
