School Paper Adds to Year; Librarians Assist Students The publication of the annual is achieved through hard work, dedication and interest. Annual workers are limited to juniors and seniors. These students must make good grades, and show leadership ability. The school paper is always one of the highlights of the school year. The Journalism Department is responsible. Grammar and self-expression are stressed in jour- nalism. Equally valuable is the relationship estab- lished between students and teachers through inter- views. Mrs. Bob Cole is helping her students meet a deadline on the Tiger's Tale. MRS. BOB COLE MRS. J. P. NELSON MRS.
