High Life Expands
Editorial Coverage
Dvr %JF*11
By Martin Miller
Editor
The 1979-80 school year
will bring many changes to
our lives. The editorial staff
of High Life this year will
broaden to meet the issues.
In the past the policy has
concentrated primarily on
local and school issues, ne
glecting to give pertinent
national problems proper at
tention. This year High Life
will cover subjects such as
the Military Draft Laws
(which are presently in Con
gress and expected to pass in
1981), voting information for
18-year-olds, and informa
tion concerning the two ma
jor politiced parties.
Of course High Life will
continue to examine school
issues such as computer
scheduling. Also this year,
we will reinstate a series of
“Faculty Fonun’’ giving our
teachers a chance to air their
views on issues important to
them.
High Life looks forward to
an energetic response from
students about issues of
today and hopes that Grims
ley will benefit from such a
response.

Half of Grimsley students
couldn’t be wrong! Last
year, approximately half of
the students subscribed to
Grimsley’s newspaper, High
Life. Obviously, if a paper
appeals to this many people,
it must be worthwhile.
The High Life staff en
dures long, hard hours in
order to bring the Grimsley
community a quality paper.
We have clear, concise
hews articles covering
events happening in >he
school system todav. We
are refreshing, interesting
articles from satire to senti
mentality. And, of course,
the sports section reports
exciting, accurate details of
sports functions here at
Grimsley.
This year our staff is
composed of a large number
of enthusiastic writers ready
to put everything into giving
you a paper with variety and
wide appeal.
Just remember how it felt
last semester when every
three weeks a crisp, ‘ ‘just off
the press,” paper was han
ded out in homeroom and
you had to pester some
subscriber to borrow their
paper. This year, try a sub
scription just for yourself.
The cost is inexpensive, and
the product is well worth it!
