A - V w Jyy I y r M Link for 1975-76 was anything but the same jjasljme 1974-75 volume. Most of the changes seemed Jjy to bring a better newspaper in the eyes of most read- ' -j ers. Unlike in years past when a small staff and their sponsor,worked to finance as well as publish a good trs years Link had several new advantages of all. the newspaper was done entirely by the sm class. The class was taught for the first time giving a textbook approach to journalism as practical background through the publication bf the paper Yet this class-oriented paper had the dis- advantage of excluding many who wanted to write for the paper but could not take the class. Secondly, through the editor of the Henry County Journal, Ken Bradley, the paper was printed once each six weeks as an addition to the Journal. All of the area high schools were permitted to participate giving an op- portunity for all schools to have a virtually free paper. Individual copies were ten cents and most of this was profit. The Link was the very first to come out in this new form. Due to an increase to twenty-five students working on the paper. The Link expanded to include more opinion polls, new columns and generally expressed the feelings of a greater majority of students. Sponsor Ms Patricia Toler summed up her feelings about her work with the staff: I loved it . . it was new and more enjoyable. I had the type of students who really had an interest in journalism; so, we had fun as well as work. Jn CENTER Sponsor. Ms Patricia Toler. and editor.
