On October 15, the first school paper meeting was held. A good majority of stu- dents turned out to take part in this activity. The following students were elected to their respective offices: Editor-in-chief, Stephanie Majeski; associate editors, Lorraine Woloss and Phyllis Cybulski; literary editors, Jean Klocko and Dorothy Cechvala; art editors, Leona Blown, William Backiel, and Carol Fill. These talented artists did a praiseworthy job in providing the school paper with many illustrations. The business manager was Patricia Zagrodnik; assistant business manager, Helen Pitchko; sports reporters, Charles Sadoski, Ronald Barrett, and Frances Porada; freshman reporters, Patricia Tobacco and Dianne Flouton; sophomore, Frances Kostek and Marilyn Wilkes; junior, Carol Ziezulewicz; senior, Phyllis Baceski; general reporter, Mary Ziezulewicz; agriculture, Joseph Cybulski. Ethel Duga and Betty Kubosiak supplied the paper with interesting gossip and features. All these members collected much information that made the school paper a widely-read issue. The production staff was made up of Jane and Joan Romanowski and Lorraine Woloss. Mrs. Pruzynski and Miss Ryan, the two advisors, devoted their untiring effort and time to make the paper a great success. Without all these members ' efforts and co-operation, a school paper would have been impossible. Every member of the staff did a splendid job. As a result of the staff ' s hard work, the school paper came out on time every other month. Many students of the school who were not on the staff, but who gave their time and effort to the school paper, also deserve our thanks and appreciation.
