HIGH SCHOOL PAPER 

The students of Altamont High have started a school paper. The first issue is to come out before Christmas, with one every school month, thereafter. 

It is quite the exception for a school of our size to have a printed news sheet, but due to the generosity of the business men in advertising, we hope to make it a success in every way. The high school students have taken a keen interest in the project and the results for a first issue are quite satisfactory.
Within a few days the patrons of the school will be given an opportunity of purchasing a copy for 15 cents.
