THE HUSTLER The Hustler - the undying spirit of T. B. C. What is the I-Iustlern? What is done by the staff? VVho is responsible for the publication? These are some of the questions your writer will attempt to answer. The HustlerN is a school paper, printed monthly for the reading en- joyment of the student body and other interested persons. The functions of this paper are to keep everyone informed as to current and future school activities, to stimulate student participation in 'these activities, to provide a media by which students may express an opinion on subjects of interest, and to keep abreast of the latest gossip. All students are urged to submit material for this publication. Starting as far back as 1947 when the paper was making its debut, the first problem was the selection of an appropriate name. The students submitted many titles from which the Hustler was chosen. This has proven to be a Very appropriate title - there is always a hustle to meet the publication deadline. The contributors who have worked on the staff include Elaine Ezhaya cover sheets 1955, Marvin Bolduc in 1956. Joanne Nivison, Patricia Jud- son and Joseph Duguay took care of the gossip. For this there always

Avenue, and was considered by everyone to have been a huge success. Last Spring the Co-op sponsored a Spring Banquet which was the first of its kind in three or four years. Last June, a spring outing was sponsored by the Co-op at Bangs Beach. It was a misty day but everyone had a wonderful time. Similar events are being planned for this spring. It has been a privilege to be a member of the Co-operative, and I would like to take this time to thank Mr. Wheeler, our advisor, the board of directors, and the members of the Co-operative for all the co-operation that I received.

seemed to be plenty of material. Miss Judson and Miss Nivison took care of sales. Replacing them now are Miss Noreen McCormick and Nancy Violette, and on gossip, Arolynn Berry and Rodney Michaud. Reporters at large are Nancy Hunter and Janet Poulin who have kept the paper up to date on current and social events. Sylvia Clukey was in charge of the Cartoons and Jokes section in 1955, now being done by Roland Huard in 1956. The typists for '55 were Glenna Denis, Ann Pillsbury, Arolynn Berry, Jo Ann Oakes. In '56 all remained except Miss Arolynn Berry, and Ann Pillsbury. Miss Berry transferred to a different section of the staff. We also added two new typists, Roland I-Iuard and Florence Reed. The mim- eographing in 1955 was done by Glenna Denis and David Paradis. In 1956 additions were made to the mimeographing staff. A school assembly was held and the problems of compiling a paper were discussed. Many stu- dents at this time volunteered their services. The school spirit rose to a new high. Germain Plante, Charles Reny, and Raymond Quirion were elected for mimeographing. With a dead line set for the 15th of each month, the material was compiled and given to our competent typists, and then to our proof readers John Libby and Germain Plante for check- ing and then back to the bee hive, set to go to press. The paper also has a due date and must reach the students by the 21st of each month. In this way the students know just when to look for their paper. The paper con- tains the following: Cover, poem of the month, jokes, quizzes, puzzles, gossip, coming events and whatever the students wish to submit that they think is worth while and of interest to the readers. The proceeds are used to build a better paper and the surplus, if any, is turned over to the Co-op. The Hustler is under the control of the Board of Directors of the school co-operative. Due to the cooperation re- ceived in the latter part of the year, a considerable amount of equipment and supplies have been obtained which will enable future members of the staff to produce a better paper. Your Editor wishes to say thanks, to all those who have been a part of the staff. I have enjoyed working with you. The experience, and the cooperation received is worth much to anyone who heads any organiza- tion. I also wish to thank those who have given help here and there when necessary in order to make the HHUSTLERH a better paper, por- traying the spirit of T. B. C. David C. Paradis, Editor-in-chief
