Publishing is a way of really getting into things. Whether it involves the school newspaper, literary magazine, or yearbook, it is a complicated and rewarding experience involving such factors as responsibility, friendship, frustration and satisfaction. Publishing involves, understanding journalism, and meeting deadlines with complicated planning and hard work. School publications are in effect written records of the year. The Blue and Gold reported on school events. Boojum Rock reflected the ideas of those students who “submitted”, their work. Maldonian told the story of the year, defining its uniqueness. The Blue and Gold modified its own image in the direction of the “magazine format” by covering more soft news. Student and teacher interviews by the Maldonian made the publication an even closer reflection of the school year and the people. The satisfaction comes in the result. Experimentation and creativity give the final project the quality of originality. 24 publications

( - LOOKING BACK Dr. Joel Saperstein, an orthopedic surgeon practicing in Malden, was sports editor of the 1956 Maldonian. A self-confessed procrastinator, he remembers most the panic of deadlines. “High school sports play an essential role in social development. Although it was always frantic, I enjoyed being part of that scene while I was sports editor of the book. I don’t think I ever had as many friends as I had then. The staff practically lived together we spent so much time on the book. The yearbook was like, or has become for me a kind of natural high when I meet those friends today or have reason to recall those years. I 1.
