The Patriot Press hit the halls every three weeks for the first semester, as the staff shar- pened its skills before returning to the bi- monthly format. The paper was one of the few in the county run entirely by the stu- dents, with editors-in-chief Suzannah Carroll, Ron Kroichick, and Brian Wolf leading the way. Still, advisors Bob Litchfield and Bob Shaughnessy provided top-notch guidance and frequently pitched in with words of wis- dom. Every person on the staff had an opportu- nity to be an editor of a certain page. Once an P editor, it was that person's job to choose what articles were to be written.
