Out of a possible 1000 points, HIGH LIFE received 920 points. In the Content section of the judging, the newspaper received 290 out of 300 points. This sec tion was based on scope and time liness. In the Writing and Editing sec tion two things were considered —general aspects and specific fields. Included in specific fields were news stories, sports stories, feature stories and interviews, ed itorial matter, headlines, copy reading and editing, and proof reading. The two remaining sections on which the paper was judged were make-up and general considera tions. A booklet published by the CSPA, which revealed the HIGH LIFE rating by sections, explained the rating procedures. “'Previous standing in contests is not considered in judging the current issues. Each paper is judged on its own merits. How ever, . . . each paper is com pared with the others in its own particular classification and is rated according to its relative standing with reference to the other entries in its class.” In the Comments and Sugges tions section one judge remarked, “HIGH LIFE is doing a great service for the school.” Further suggestions on how to improve the paper were then listed. Judged in the contest were school newspapers, news-maga zines, pages in daily papers and departmental publications.
