On June 11, 1777 a Philadelphia school printed the flrst school newspaper ever published In America, the Student Gazette . In commemoration of thls, the Pennsylvania School Press Association has declared the school years, 1976-1977 the Bicentennial of School Journalism. Students who participate in the production of the school newspaper gain valuable experience in the art of journalism. Participation In a school newspaper is an important learning activity from which all students benefit Library Aids greatly. This year's Flne Prlnt was supervised by Mlss Stewart, the new head of the English Department. The group of editors this year, headed by Jon Sorof, consisted of: Meg Englesson, Leslie Broudo, John Mandler, Erlc Patent, and Tom Reilly.

In addition to news, we are printing features, editorials, and we even included a creative page. We at LMMS salute the Fine Print l The Library Aids this year have volunteered to work in the library during their study halls or in their spare tlme. They are required to shelve and stamp books, straighten up the library, and do other small librarian tasks. Library aids are picked on how they behave, on their scholastic achievement and most of all, on teacher's recommendations. Mr. Tumas said, This year has been a good year for library aids. They have been good workers, they help out Mrs. Whitsel and myself. Most of all, they have shown a great deal of interest in A the library and in their work. 1 ,, Q . 1: va.. ' - -'

2391 A typist's work is never done The four editors and Mrs. Sutter The small but expert Yearbook staff has put out its second edition of The Spark . The crew was guided by Editor in Chief, Ellen Thomas with the assistance of editors Laurie Segal, Alane Cooper, and Karen Service. The layout committee received a great deal of help from Gail Weintraub, Jodi Lobel, Stephanie Benus, Renata Rushlau, Molly Welsh, Nancy Normoyle, and Sue Segal. A contest was held for all the grades in which students designed divider pages. The winners were-eighth grade, Gail Weintraub and Ellen Thomas, seventh grade, Sharon Silverstein, sixth grade, Elaine Schmal, and fifth grade, Gene Rubenstein. Steven Amend supervised the art department, and Iet's not forget Margaret Englesson who contributed the activities and events dividers, and many write- ups. Without our sales committee, consisting of Mimi Prushan, Pam Rapkin, Robin Zembie, Lynne Tarka, and Paige Kleinhart, this yearbook never would have gotten off the ground. And when extra help was needed from our underclassmen, Liz Tarka, Paige Kleinhart, Bobby Service, Alison Cooper, Debbie Kerbeck, and Billy Swotes came to the rescue. Who can forget Mrs. Sutter, who made the whole yearbook possible, by being our fearless leader . Her guidance saved us all a trip to Byberry!
