THE TOM CRIER Before the days of our many edition newspapers the New Englanders had their news hawked to them by the Town Crier who rang his bell and shouted the news of the day. The Tom Crier provides the same function for the students of St. Thomas High School. Besides presenting the news and promoting school spirit, Tlu' Tom Crier offers a workshop course in journalism to its staff. The staff this year was headed by Carlo Rossi. Carlo was aided by John Houck, Assistant Editor, Pat Antinucci, Feature Editor, and Roger King, Sports Editor. ST. THOMAS TOLLE LEGE ,48
