THE VIKING LOG Two separate classes worked together to publish the students’ news- paper, The Viking Log. Eight members o£ the staff from last year teamed with twenty members of the present Journalism class to issue six papers printed by commercial printers and six extra editions which were mimeo- graphed at the school. This year The Viking Log was entered in the West Virginia University newspaper contest for school newspapers. This is the first time Petersburg has entered the contest for many years. A rating had not been received when this report was written. By printing twelve editions of the paper the class set a record for editions in one year. Last school year only nine editions were printed. Front row; Left to right, Mary Jane Hedrick, Jo Ann Mowry, Uldene Mon- gold, Margaret Secrist, Ina Alt, Jeanette Weese, Betty Rexrode.
