Members of the newspaper staff from left to right are: Jackie Lowry, assistant artist, Dora DeMasters, artist, Betty Kimery, assistant editor, Danny Wampler, business manager, Donnie Hatcher, sports editor, and Doris Upchurch, editor. The Newspaper, A Strong Link Between Home and School THE MIRROR, in its third year of publication, has become a Scurry-Rosser tradition to which all subscribers look forward. By reading its pages parents become better acquainted with their school. There's plenty of behind-the-scene planning and preparation before each issue rolls off the press bi-monthly. The staff must stay at a fast pace to keep up with news at Scurry-Rosser, but they appreciate the experience gained in the fine points of re- porting. Newspaper week is a busy one for them, but when the last paper has been delivered on Mirror clay and the student body pauses to read, even the staffand their sponsor can relax a minute . Mrs. Brooks, newspaper sponsor, dictates an article to editor, Doris Upchurch, as Betty Kimery, assistant editor, types busily on a stencil.

The task of financing and editing a good year- book is more difficultthan the inexperienced might think. 122: I This layout gets plenty of attention I as Nora McCormick, editor, Betty Garrett, typist, Doris Shehee, assist- ant layout artist, and Ann Jordan, copywriter, all gather around to give their approval. The one period a day scheduled for annual is not enough time to do the iob well. The con- scientious staff member gives up study halls and often works at night or during the holidays. Many headaches, trials, and worries are ex- perienced during the year, but in this creative work the reward is a great one indeed. When the Wildcat , a beautifully finished yearbook, comes off the press, and we view it for the first time, we feel very proud of our part in recording the history of our school year.
