Once a month a group of journalistic geniuses put out a production contain­ ing lively lead stories, captivating col­ umns, fascinating features, ample ath­ letic accounts, and editorials with a strong stand. This presentation is The Beacon, and whether you scan one sto­ ry and proceed to throw the paper on the floor, or whether you are deeply enthralled by each offering from front to finish, the newspaper is put togeth­ er thoughtfully and carefully under the guidance of advisor Robert Paoli. From the school’s Centennial events to low­ er School news, from profiles of sen­ iors to junior sports, if there is a story, the Beacon newsbreakers will be there to cover it. Pleaded by news editors Sean McMullen and Joy Butler, sports editor Rudy Brandi, and photo editor David Holtzman, the staff continues its unusually high standards of journal­ ism.
'Beacon' Recognized By Scholastic Press
by D. Neil Radey, '12

FORM III NEWSPAPER
At different times in previous years, boys at
Wardlaw have produced the "Wardlawsun”, a school newspaper. This year the boys of Form III decided that they would like to produce a school paper. They secured the help of Mr. Chickering and put out the first copy of the "Grapevine”.As the yearbook goes to press, arrangements are being made for the production of a second copy. This was the first experience for many boys in newspaper work, and they are to be commended on a fine job.
The newspaper staff also started the unique idea of a suggestion box in the front hall and through their efforts had the lunch period ex­ tended five minutes.
