The group is composed of the entire junior and senior academic class under the supervision of Mrs. Barbara Stroup. Having begun to send correspondence to The Evening News last year, the group continued the work this year and received honorable mention for the amount of copy printed in the Harrisburg newspaper in December. Representatives of the Press Club attended a press conference and the annual press banquet in Harrisburg. This year Mr. Kane and Mr. Waidlich, publishers of The Mercersburg Journal, very generously set aside a quarter of the front page of this local weekly for school news. The material is assigned by student editors and gathered by student reporters.

The Meminisse, now in its third edition, is published annually by the seniors so that they will not be forgotten in the long history of the school. The Latin word meminisse which is used as the title of this book, means to have remembered. It was suggested by Elva Bonebrake, a member of the Class of '50, when the yearbook was begun in 1948 by Miss Blanche Varden. This year, under the direction of Miss Anna Sheely and Mrs. Barbara Stroup, the yearbook appears with several changes. A lithograph process has been used for printing pictures and copy.
