my 6 Rough Rider editor Amy Sanzi even has time for a smile as she prepares to publish the school’s paper. ROUGH RIDER “All I know is what I read in the papers.” Editor Amy Sanzi and associate editors Linda Karson and Gail Golloway and their devoted staff keep Will Rogers’ quote in mind when working on the Rough Rider. They try to produce as many papers as time and money will allow to keep the student body and fac- ulty informed on “‘what’s happening.” Under the sponsorship of Miss Thelma McAndless, the staff attempts to write the news as it happens. When important events occur, the reporters go to work, their cameras start snapping, the type- writers click, the copy editors write, and the editors proofread, and finally the presses roll. Rough Rider staff members begin to scale walls, whenever a dead- line approaches.
