COMET NOTES After many years of cold inaction, the West Pittston High School Comet' once more burst into flame and went hurtling its meteoric course through another year of school life. The staff and reporters worked long, hard, and faithfully, and the resulting publication was thus better than it had ever been in former years. The new and inexperienced editors had what is wildly termed a hectic time in getting the first number safely to press. The second number was not so hard to manage, as the staff and the reporters had more of an idea as to what they were to do and how to do it. Then came the Year Book. First regarded as a mere dream, the editors would talk and speculate endlessly upon this thrilling subject. Fate was kind, and the printer was lenient, and one glad day it was announced that we would have a fine big year book, the best that West Pittston High School had ever seen. And so we did. You have all heard of the man behind the guns, and how necessary he was to the success of those guns. Well, the man behind the guns for the Comet was Mr. Robert Conahay, Jr., Manager of the Advertising Depart- ment of the LaBarre Printing Co., and without his wise help and advice, the Comet would never have been the success it was. We are glad of this opportunity to publicly thank Mr. Conahay for his services. 7
