The Comet Published weekly during the regular school year, The Comet provides campus news and commentaries on current local affairs. The newspaper is staffed and edited entirely by Morris Harvey students. Full tuition scholarships are granted to the editor and business manager. For the past 34 years The Comet has given stu¬ dents the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned in the various journalism classes. Those working on the business side get practical experi¬ ence in advertising, layout, and circulation pro¬ cedures. Aside from its reportorial and business functions, the paper has been a medium of entertainment.

This year The Comet followed the modern trend in newspaper design by adopting the flush left headline and using san-serif type faces. Connie Menefee, business manager, and Ed Morris, editor-in-chief.

The Harvey an The 1955-56 Harveyan is one of the most unique editions ever published by Morris Harvey students. Departing from the usual full-year preparation period, this year ' s annual was compiled, in its en¬ tirety, during the second semester. Another unusual factor is that the annual con¬ tains no advertising. Funds for its publication costs were raised on a 50-50 basis by the college and student subscribers. As is the purpose of all yearbooks, the Harveyan attempts to present a pictorial record of the past year with sidelights on individual students, their organizations, and activities. This edition covers the period from March, 1955, to March, 1956. The Harveyan editor and chief photographer are awarded full tuition scholarships. This year, how¬ ever, two co-editors were appointed. Both acted in the double capacity of editor and photographer. Any student may apply for Harveyan positions but the inherent nature of the work makes some previous vious experi dV Staff for this year ' s Harveyan, standing left to right, include Flora Lee Hanger, Frances Jones, Archie Snedegar, Helen Ardigo, Ed Morris, Ed Maslow, and Ernest Martin.
