Earlier this year we performed for the Tri-County Teachers con- ference at the Oneonta State Teachers College. Our calendar for the school year included; basketball games, Memorial Day Parade, our Spring Concert, State Contest and then Grad- uation.

This contest is sponsored by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association of which Stamford Central is a mem- ber. Last year the school was very proud of the third place rat- ing awarded to Utsayantha News in the senior high school mimeo- graphed duplicated magazines (less than 300 pupils) class. There were entries from all states and several foreign coun- tries, with 3520 student editors and reporters from 750 schools. The three-day conference in New York City was climaxed with a dinner address by Pres- ident Truman at the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel. The twenty members of the newspaper club meet once a week to discuss the problems re- lating to the publishing of the current issue of Utsayantha News. The club is able to meet ex- penses of publishing at least four issues a year with some help from school funds. There is us- ually enough money left to finance a dinner party and a trip through a newspaper plant. 13 £77'’HIS year, we, the staff of «JF the Utsayantha News, want to give our readers better and easier reading. We want to strive for more balance in our paper, that is, planning a paper that contains a specific amount of space for sports, editorials, literary articles, humor, puzzles, new items, etc. Our goal is meeting deadlines, following di- rections and striving for perfec- tion. The motto that keeps us in business is, “All the news that’s fit to print, and some that isn’t”. Advisers
