Mercer HI Times W Last spring the Mercer HI Times received a Medalist rating award by the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion. The newspaper also received the All-American news- paper award for excellence. Fifteen issues of the Mercer HI Times were produced this year, informing students of current happenings in sport, club, and student government news. It served to reflect the interests of the entire student body. The staff, twenty-two students, met regularly as a class each day. The editor-in-chief, Ruth Kramer, and co-edi- tors, Ellen Horowitz and Carolyn Gowans, guided the production of each issue with the assistance of Linda Rog- ers, feature editor, and Ruth Tower, business manager. Mrs. Clara Hayward, adviser, aided the class in learning the correct journalistic techniques to publish a good pap- er.
