THE EXP MAHISCUL NEWS STAFF Mahiscul News began its career in the fall of 1934 and has prospered in that short time to a great extent. There has never before been a newspaper at M. H. S., but in 1921 a monthly magazine was published. The present newspaper was named by Gertrude Miller, who competed in an all-school contest. Much credit for the publication of the news should be given to the second year typing class, and the publication adviser, Miss lohnston. They spend their time during class and much of their extra time in typing and mimeographing the paper. Their aid, together with the staff's willingness to work and their interest in the paper, are some of the reasons why the paper has succeeded. Another major factor of success is the whole-hearted assistance given by the advisor, Miss Morris. The staff which served during 1935-36 follows: Editor-in-chief .... Assistant-editor ,..,,.... . Sports editor ..........,. Organizations editors. . . Art editor ......,. loke editor .,..... Faculty reporter. . Reporters at large ..,...
