EXTRA, EXTRA! Read All About It

most schools, a journalism class is hard at
work researching topics and reporting on
school-related activities for an upcoming
newspaper.

Things are no different here at Bishop. The
Signet, in its 30th year ofpublication, has pre­
sented the students, facility, and staff with
issues facing the McGuinness scene.
Co-editors Doug Heye and Jackie Torok, w ith a
handful of staff reporters, continue to create a
paper with informative articles, reports on
controversial issues (such as school spirit
and ISTHS selection), student polls, and aca­
demic and athletic information. Under the
firm guidance of Mrs. Venable, the majority of
the staff members are computer literate; this
enables them to spend more time writing th^
pieces to appear in the paper.
The Signet is a literate, competent newspaper.
It serves as a mirror of the excellence at
Bishop McGuinness.

Literary Genius

Throughout the year, in a quiet
room. Editor Jackie Torok spent
hours proofing some of the cre­
ative writings that flowed out of
some English classes. This year,
students will have the chance to
see their creative efforts in print.
The magazine should come out in
late May. Thanks for the aesthe­
tics of it all.
