The lournalism Il class was the newspaper staff and was advised by Mr. Grant T. Smith. Thor's Hammer students not only learned how to write and edit their stories, they also learned to accept the responsibility of meeting the dreaded deadline. Each year the paper has special issues, such as a mer Homecoming issue, a Christmas or All I want for Christmas issue, and a Senior issue, in which TH sells senior wills. Assistant Editor Kim Christy said, I think the staff in general made a big effort to produce a real- ly good paper. We tried to offer articles that were both iformative and entertaining. I believe we suc- ceeded and that we had the best high school newspaper in Las Vegas.
