1960-61 Newspapers

WHS Newspapers - 1960-61 year

Here are a couple of great 1960-61 WHS Newsletters. Thanks to Betty & Dave Fullenwider for these. One of them was extremely light and I couldn't get it copied so just a few of the pages I've retyped - looks kind of odd but figure that's better than not having them :) Back cover of the first one I didn't see how I could duplicate so took a picture but it's not very good - extremely fuzzy original :( Sorry but I'm thrilled to get these !!

Note: You may have to scroll your computer screen to make it bigger but I can see these fine and I'm OLD :)

THE EDITOR SPEAKS --

Well here we are back in school again. It seems like only yesterday that we were out for the summer doesn't it?

Some of us, perhaps, were very anxious for school to start and yet there are some to whom it just seems boring. High school passes too quickly for us not to take advantage of it. So let's get with it kids and make use of our high school years. Try to attend and take part in all activities. Also never hesitate about doing your schoolwork. You have a future to live for, so start preparing for it right away. Why not now, huh?

--The TYPO ---

The typographical error

A slippery thing and sly;

You can hunt it till you're dizzy

But somehow it will get by

Till the paper is all printed

It is strange how still it keeps

It shrinks down in a corner

And it never stirs or peepes

That Typographical error

Is too small for human eyes

When it grows to mountain size!

The editor stares with horror

Then she grabs her hair and groans

The copyreader drops her head

Upon her hands and scans

The remainder of the issue

May be clean as clean can be

But the typographical error

Is the only thing you see ... The Staff
