Hamilton Ray Wright and Phil Goldstein interviewing Owen Mo son, provide copy for coming issue Al!! ffze llfe wg HY fo Pfmf New .Qponcow Qefg fha Pace We hoped to continue the work started by ear- lier sponsors and to give Verdugo Hills High School an informative and lively newspaper. We want to give Jour- nalism students a good background in newspa- per writing and editing. Participation by non- .lournalism students for the coming year would be an opportunity for any Don or Donette. We invite you to send in letters, ideas, and feature and literary articles. We par- ticularly want to invite the lower grades to loin our staff and stay with it for many semesters. A well-trained group will build up the size and quality of the newspaper in keeping with the tradition of our school activities. -Mrs. Adele Saxe, new La Yuca sponsor. Mrs. Saxe, summer sponsor A.

The editorial policy of La Yuca is that it should represent the interests of the students. Two examples which illustrate this policy are the six- page Recognition edition featuring the aims and activities of the Senior B class, and the six-page Senior Edition, which includes two pages of material commemorating the graduating class. Each semes- ter new La Yuca Staff members affirm this policy by making most of the decisions on the content and the page design for all editions of their paper. l 22 . es ,nj tv' K- v 1- i s L- v gg 3- ,N fl. ....t ' ' -t is ' is 'f M ff H. - 'B---u Staff members discuss new year policy.
