With Pen In Hand, Thor Reporters Edit News iiTHORSday is the cry heard each month as another issue of the Thor is eagerly received by Nor- land students. Behind each edition is the Thor staff. The goal of the staff is the publishing of an accu- rate and interesting newspaper, fulfllling the princi- ples of good journalism as well as entertaining the readers. Each month a rigorous schedule of compil- ing the news, organizing, selecting and writing the material, preparing layouts, counting copy, proof- reading, and typing the completed work is followed. The paper is then printed and distributed to the individual homeroom sections. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Massey, the Thor featured forthcoming school events, sports news, and other student activities. Students were the focal point of the newspaper, as articles presented information about school policy and news pertaining to the stu- dents. Special issues were published on holidays and the final edition was devoted to the coverage of traditional events which characterize the completion of the school year. Requisites for membership of the Thor staff in clude previous journalistic experience, sponsor ap- proval, time to devote to the publication, and a genuine desire to write for the newspaper. mum mxmnmdi .. . i e... .mi m Keeping the student body posted on the progress of Nor- landis teams is the duty of Sports Editor, Mark Abramson.
