A FREE PRESS An Integral Part of American Democracy Activities and events at North- east are reported and written by members of the newswriting class, and printed on the school press by members of the printing classes. The result is the Northeast Courier —a typical school paper in a typi- cal American high school. MEMBERS OF THE SECOND SEMESTER STAFF WORKING ON COPY FOR THE PAPER Newswriters, who must constantly be on the alert for news and sufcyects for editorials —who must get the facts and get them straight—who must distinguish between essentials and non-essentials, are learning the fundamentals of Democracy, and how to implement them. That is the aim of all schooling in America. The Courier is a four-page paper, published weekly, under the direction of Mr. G. S. Marsh, Newswriting instructor. Co-editors for the first semester were Dorothy DeGroff and Edward Engleman; Business Managers were Mickey Hoverder and Erlyne Eubank; Sports Editors were Stan- ley Walker and Donald Sanders; News Editors were Colleen Hatfield and Richard Connell. 27 Second Semester Courier Staff Front Row: (left to right)—Morion Zimmer, Shirley Smith, Morie Brown, Phyllis Stites, Constance Strunk Delores De Shong, Jeon Kelley, Betty Galbraith.

Going to the M. I. P. A. Convention, at Columbia in the Spring is the reward for out- standing members of the staffs. There they compete in newswriting contests, and enter their paper in competition with those of other schools. Northeast newswriters and the North- east Courier have always ranked high at these meets. 26
