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.
