Sports Editor Charles H. Streib and Editor Jon A. Kaufman put finishing touches to another issue of the Beacon.
Beacon Achieves Merit Rating
Prior to the death of Mr. Lewis B. Timberlake and the assumption of his responsibilities by Mr. Robert A. Paoli, the most noteworthy aspect of the 1970-1971 Beacon was the gradual change it underwent, following the trend of many other
school newspapers. The first issue was similar to those of years past. However, by the middle of the year, sports coverage had been moved from page three to page four. The contents of pages two and three then became "free territo­ ry." At the prodding of Editor Jon A. Kaufman, dozens of letters to the editor were submitted and printed, some caustic, some praising, but all making reading both lively and interesting. The lack of a literary magazine was compensated for in the new policy of allowing outside contribu­ tors a chance for free literary expression.
Kaufman was assisted by Junior Editors Jef­ frey D. Gould, David C. IJemer. Allan K. Ter- hune, and Richard W. Warren, Jr. Helping to shoulder the responsibility of putting out the monthly issues of the Beacon was Sports Editor Charles H. Streib. Vivacity and lightness, re­ sulting from the artwork of Wayne G. Napoli- tano, H. Theodore Osborne, and David W. Price, Jr., made this year's issues a pleasure to look at as well as to read. Photography, primarily contributed by Jack L. Cassell and Gary J. Hill, was well done and always on time.
A rare picture of some of the Beacon photographic staff shows Mr. Max J. Munzel and Gary J. Hill hard at work.
