. v sung, ....x .V-A-Q yam J ournalists Have the Spirit t The newspaper was really coming together? an- nounced Molly Gimson. There were many procedures involved in as- sembling the paper: re- search, writing, editing, typing and layout. Time was also a major factor to the newspaper staff. It was important to get the news out before it became old. Newspaper class was also a self-disciplined class. ttWe werentt forced or pushed by Mrs. Newton, to get the paper out. We wanted to? added Janine Harmon. The uniqueness of the newspaper class was 'the fact that such a small group of students have done so much work and started out at the begin- ning of the year with no previous knowledge of newspaper organization or assembly. The newspaper success was partly due to the fact of a new teacher, Mrs. Margaret Newton, who taught here in 1964-65 while a senior at SMS. BS in Education, Latin, Spanish and also an MA in English Mrs. New- ton was very much qualified for teaching. ttI wanted to come back here and teach because of the family atmospheref con- fessed Mrs. Newton, ttThe teachers and students were treated very well. Shakespeares and Charles Dickens,s Homes were but a few of the places Mrs. Newton Visited while in England, with foreign lan- guage students from SMS as well as some Springfield- ians. ttThe trip was for professional enrichment as well as pleasure? stated Mrs. Newton.
