KNIGHT BEM Russ Blank quickly finishes his Knight Beat story to submit for Miss Scavuz- zo's approval. Knight Writers The roving reporters of the first semester Jour- nalism class were always where the action was to bring the students and faculty of OHS up to date on the latest sports and academic news. Along with reporting the news, the Knight Beat had many stories to entertain. The staff succeeded in publishing an eight page homecoming issue in Oc- tober and an eight page feature magazine in April. Their hard work paid off when the second se- mester class got to choose four page editors and an editor-in-chief. The class was then given com- plete control of the paper. Knight Beat sponsor, Marlene Scavuzzo said, The Journalism class was the largest we've ever had at Orion. Part of the reason, l'm sure, is that the improved quality of the newspaper and year- book has encouraged more students to become involved in the publication. She added, This staff was both creative and intelligent and pro- duced eight fine papers.
