UNBTASED TRUTH TO ALL Have you bought your 'lris' yet, girls? So we are welcomed to school every other Wednesday morning by our very eager and ambitious press ladies. Tucked away on the second floor, with a very misleading ape pearance of quietness, is situated the hub of the wheel which rotates our bi-weeklyfthe Iris office. Here our girl reporters, under the guidance of Miss Baylson, rise from ad-seekers to reporters. They supply us with up-to-the minute information about school events, enter- tain us with interviews with celebrities, and regale us with gossip columns and amusing incidents.
