The Em Vee Hi. the student publication of Mount Vernon High School, is produced by the members of the creative writing class and is published monthly. The newspaper is an active member of the National Scholastic Association. lt covers news materials from all classes. features unusual or outstanding acheivements and activities of stu- dents and faculty members within the school. and gives the students a voice of opinion on school activities and attitudes. Twirp Week is the traditional activity intro- duced by the Em Vee Hi. During Twirp Week other clubs and organizations within the school sponsor daily activities and at the end of the week the newspaper holds the climaxing dance. Different individuals, composing the stafl. are responsible to the local newspapers in the surrounding area. for news and activities tak- ing place in our school. The staff as a whole is the direct contact to the Teen lVlaga7ine of the Evening Star. This year the staff strived to make the news- paper more interesting for the student body and to create a better literary quality in the Em Vee Hi.

We reached a high goal in the sale of ads this year and sponsored a contest for those not on the staff. who apply for membership to the staffg the ap- plicants must then be recommended and ap- proved by members of the faculty. The staff is divided accordingly into sections. Each be- ing a body within itself and having a sectional editor at its head. At the end of each year the existing staff is responsible for placing mem- bers on each sectional staff and electing an editor-in-chief or co-editors for the coming year. This year the staff began functioning the later part of the summer by soliciting through- out the community for advertisements. one means of attaining financial support. The actual work on the book began in September after some members of the staff attended the National Scholastic Press Association Conven- tion in Washington, D.C.
