To edit the most timely and important news of student activities and to publish inter¬ esting features in the best manner have been the aims of the school newspaper, the Hatchet. Under the leadership of its editor, John Dusterberry, and its two faculty advisers, Miss Knoles and Mr. Kibby, this bi-monthly journalistic publication has reached a high mark. The pages of the Hatchet are devoted to the latest and most significant school news, editorials, book reviews, the principal ' s corner, alumni news, gossip column, and the exchange column. A new pro and con column was adopted this year. The peri¬ scope of student news, department news, and girls ' and boys ' sports complete the paper. Assisting the editor were Mary Virginia Bristow and Margaret Williamson. The Busi¬ ness Manager, John Ferrante, also deserves much credit for looking after the advertise¬ ments and finances of the paper. In short, the entire staff is to be congratulated for its fine work. 30
