r In October a large number of students volunteered to participate in the school paper activity. Out of the large group, the following officers were elected to fill the respective positions: Editor-in-chief, Robert Betsold; associate editors, Carol Ziezule- wicz and Dorothy Cechvala; literary editors, Mary Ziezulewicz and Mary Ryan; art editors, Carol Fill, William Backiel and Patricia Tobacco. The fine selections of artis- tic ability provided the paper with excellent material. The sports editors were Brenda Zagrodnik and William Backiel; the business manager, Betty Kubosiak; freshman re- porters, Arlene Kuchyt and Sally Kubosiak; sophomore reporter, Patricia Tobacco; junior reporter, Brenda Zagrodnik; senior reporter, JoAnne Sikorski; news reporters, Sandra Kempisty, Patricia Sikorski, Dorothy Cechvala, and Carol Ziezulewicz. These students supplied the paper with interesting news items from each class and general gossip. Those who worked so diligently and obtained much interesting and hilarious information about the students were JoAnne Sikorski, Catherine Pickett, Louise Zem- biski, Brenda Zagrodnik, Rose Kovalski and Dianne Flouton. The production staff con- sisted of Carol Ziezulewicz, JoAnne Sikorski, Dorothy Cechvala, Mary Ziezulewicz, Robert Betsold, Larry Goller, Betty Kubosiak, and Carol Fill. Without the cooperation and efforts of these students and the efforts of the two advisors, Miss Ryan and Mrs. Pruzynski, who devoted their undivided attention and untiring efforts, the paper would not have succeeded in being interesting and enter- taining. The students appreciated the splendid work displayed in the school paper due to the cooperation of every member of the staff.
