Clark. fjewdpaner This year as in the past, those students who have been interested in working together have again published the school newspaper, called the Party Line. As the paper was put out once in two weeks, this meant the students had to meet a deadline”. Sessions were held with the teachers to help the students organize their material and special conferences were also held with the typist to learn the organization of the new stencils and the character of the new machine. This year the school discarded the mimeograph machine which had black ink and was quite mussy to use. The hectograph which replaced this is much cleaner and gives a blue print. James Come did a fine job once again this year in running the paper off the press”, which helped our staff and newspaper. Under the leader- ship of the editor, Beth Evans, the staff did their best to meet each dead- line and make the Party Line a newspaper to be enjoyed by all. As other school newspapers, we took our criticism and tried to im- prove our paper. Representatives from the high school were sent to the Newspaper Conference in Lyndonville to find ways of making improve- ments. At the conference the students were given the opportunity to ask questions, to see other newspapers, and come home with new ideas. Of course, as in most things, you have times when the paper comes out late or perhaps are not legible, but I’m sure the students have tried to do their best and have had fun in doing so. For a small high school, the students and teachers should be congratulated for thier co-operation in holding special jobs and working together on an activity which they them- selves chose.
