Mountaineer Staff Co-Editor: Sandra Johnson School activities and pictures generally find their way into the Mountaineer, Kings Mountain High School ' s newspaper. The work on the paper is an outgrowth of the journalism class of which all students are members. The paper is generally published each six weeks. Students co-ordinate the work involved by such activities as selling advertisements, taking subscriptions, writing news stories, laying out the paper for the printer, proof¬ reading the copy and finally distributing the papers to subscribers and others who wish to buy them. Other details such as the billing and bookkeeping are done by students. The Mountaineer staff has raised additional funds this year by sponsoring dances. tfcv M. HmtH ad Mr .
