' ' 2 i'Y Ar'-3 ' ' ' -r'-- , i I , , OUR SCHOCL PAPER This High School Annual was published by the Senior Class of l956 as a commeration of their school days as well as of the publishing of a monthly school paper. The monthly paper, the Argus, was published by the Commercial Club consisting of JC members of the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore Classes with Richard N. Howell serving as faculty advisor. We feel that this paper was very worth-while because it gave the members of the staff some some training in jounnalismg a course which is not being offered in our high school. Also the parents and students become more closely acquainted with the school, its functions and members of different classes, through the school paper. The success of our paper depends greatly upon the generosity of the merch- ants whose adds appear in this issue, therefore we ask you to try to patronize them when ever possible. About the first of March we as members of the Senior class resigned our positions on the monthly stafl and organized the annual staff. By that time the Juniors had had sufficient experience to carry on 'the publishing of the monthly paper. Since we, as Seniors, do not take typing, the work on this annual was done in our spare time, at noons and after school. Now that it is completed' we have within us a feeling by accomplish- ment and we hope that this annual may prove to be well worth the price you have paid for it. We feel sure that it will became more valuable especially to the students of Montmorenci school, if it is ' ,kept for future years. As members of the annual staff, we extend our great thanks and deep appreciation to all, who have in any way helped to make our school paper a success.
