WITH A FRESH START, THE BLIZZARD STAFF PRODUCED With a helping hand, hard working Sheila AN OUTSTANDING PAPER M C 'v B'i a' Working long and hard, the West Valley Blizzard staff was able to produce a reliable and accurate source of information. The staff decided to make format changes early in the year. The paper was no longer made in tablet form but went back to the conventional size paper of earlier years. Also, many features from last year, such as UCollege Corner, Rock Review, USenior Stars, 'LCrosstown High, and Did I Really Eat That? , were no longer a part of the monthly issues. With the help of their advisor, Mrs. Green, the staffers raced all around school and outside of school digging up current material that they could print. They reported factually and accurately the goings on around school and also anything that happened in the community that would possibly effect the school. Even with all the changes that had to be made the 1980-81 Blizzard staff adjusted well, put their experience in journalism to good use, and produced yet another great school newspaper for the 1980-81 school year. 42 BLIZZARD Ever dedicated to his task, Jay Weaver stamps out return addresses.
