Yes, this is the good ol' Paper Staff, those people you can blame for spelling your name wrong and forgetting to put all that good stuff you did in the paper. Under the leadership of co-editors Ricky McCraw and Steve Mull, we also decided to print the paper this year Cat least until the money's all gonej. On top of everything else, we changed the name! You now get the ARROWHEAD everytime we remember to put it out. To go with the new name, we have a new sponsor, Mrs. Kathrine Atkins. tMostly because our last two deserted us.J Sojust wait until next year, when we all figure out what we're doing!
