HIGH LIFE Announces New Staff
“I want the paper to take a
better stand on current events,”
commented Ronnie Gallimore,
HIGH LIFE’S managing editor
for next year.
Other new staff members will
include Marilyle Upchurch and
Jean Broadway, co-news editors;
Red Ward, Marty Palmer and
Janice Kirby, feature editors;
Rick Brewer, sports editor; and
Franklin Stewart, advertising
manager.
Mrs. Peggy Woodlief, advisor,
has said that positions for photo
grapher, cartoonist, circulation
manager, and exchange editor
are still open.
This paper is the first of two
experimental issues representa
tive of the staffs next year’s
work.
Few changes will occur in
HIGH LIFE. Each editor plans
to add his own ideas so that the
paper will interest the majority
of the students.
Planning for the news page next
year, Marilyle Upchurch and
Jean Broadway hope to recog
nize more people and school or
ganizations, have more human in
terest stories, and have more
timely articles.
Red Ward, feature editor, said,
“I think I am safe in saying
that our feature page will be
better prepared and will have
what the students want, more
next year, than this year.
“Whirlies, Whims, and Whispers”
Discontinued
Because of the graduation of
Hallie Austin, this year’s news
editor, “Whirlies, Whims, and
Whispers” will not be continued.
However, the column will be re
placed by an equivalent to it.
“Next year I’d like to have
more features on the sports page.
In fact, I’m planning on making
news-features out of game stories
instead of treating them as
.straight news,” explained Rick
Brewer, sports editor. Rick also
plans to continue a sports column
equivalent to “Whirlie Words.”
Contributions Determine
Total Pages
Next year, the staff expects
to have several six page papers.
The Student Page and the Review
Page, which ran on an experi
mental basis this year, will con
tinue with the consistency of stu
dent contributions.
There will be a column in next
year’s HIGH LIFE similar to
this year’s “Roving Reporter” by
Babs Jones. The column will also
reflect student opinions. However^
no definite plans have been
made. The memo of weekly act
ivities wifll also be continuedi
each week.
Anyone interested in writing
for the paper next year will be
welcomed. They should contact
any member of the staff or see
Mrs. Woodlief in Room 10.
