RICH HIGH NEWS Published Monthly FEBRUARY 16, 1955 Vol. 3 No. 2 A position in the newspaper world . . . acareer for the future . . . prob- ably neither of these was the reason why anyone joined the constantly moving pace of the Rich High News- paper staff. More than likely we volun- teered for the fun and enjoyment we would receive from working on it. The staff was now a little more ex- perienced than the green hands that guided the News through the first year of hard to meet deadlines. Even though our green hands were more steady, it sometimes seemed as though the unfinished layout and un- finished stories would keep us from meeting the deadline! Bur with the ever constant guidance of the paper's sponsor, Miss Mary Konstans, the Rich High News has always been published on time, None of the confusion and hum-drum ever kept the copy from reaching the printer on his due dates. It may not have prepared any of us to go out into the world and become professional reporters, but it kept ev- ery one of us constantly in touch not only with the student body, but with the faculty as well. And no one could have learned to have responsibility and to write the truth more than those connected with the paper and its won- derful sponsor. -Marlene Scbopp
