HI-LIGHT HAS HUMBLE BEGINNING The Hi-Light’s humble beginnings can be traced back to a four page flyer often featuring a boy and girl of the month. The present day advisor. Mr. Archibald Wrisinger would term such atrocities and “chit chat” as “Pumkin’ Center News.” It was originally intended that each of the staff members be issued a press pass, each with the borrowed inscription . . . “forgive us our presspasses . Major emphasis was placed on “plain meat and potatoes writing”. Themes of the paper varied from such touchy subjects as vandalism ranging to a Bi-Centennial theme in which such areas as prominent ancestries of Ruskin students and red. white, and blue commercialism were covered. Today, under the editor Dick Neff, also high school sports writer in the community, the Hi-Light publication follows numerous awards, the most recent being the “All Missouri Rating . Proof of the paper’s superior standing can be seen in room 224. Alongside a 14 karat gold pla- que. twenty-eight awards are plastered on the walls. Dick Neff edits Steve Michalski's sports story. A little wit and humor amuse Mr Wrisinger and Jim Laughlin. A chance to celebrate is always taken advantage of with the Hi-Light Staff. 14 Hi-Light
