Crimson Crier Newspapers from 1972 Through 1976 to be Available Here & at Class Web Site

Remember the Crimson Crier? Andrew Warde High School's student newspaper was a must-read during our days at the Melville Avenue campus. However, you'd be hard pressed to find a copy of the erstwhile publication today.

Thanks to several former classmates, though, many copies of the newspaper from 1972 through 1976 have been forwarded to this corner and are being scanned for this Web site and the class Web site. You'll be able to read some of the articles which appeared well over 30 years ago.

Much like the yearbook staff, the students who wrote, typed, and printed the newpaper used equipment which is archaic by today's standards. We're so accustomed to modern technology and the ease of using word processors and computers that it's hard to imagine what it must have been like for our classmates over 30 years ago. Royal typewriters, white-out, erasers, carbon paper, and the printing press were staples of newspaper publishers back then.

Read about town news, sports, events around school, editorials, and see photos which will take you back to your youth. I should be finished with the scanning and uploading within the week. I hope you enjoy it.

Over 24 scans have been added to the class Web page at http://www.warde1976.myevent.com. As usual, it's a labor of love.
