os Trading some secrets of th Page 5, News, Wednesday, May 4, 1988 e trade By Greg Huneault the News Although the term "Superior Style" might not be familiar to everyone, it ought to be. It's the name of Lake Superior High School's student newspaper, and its name reflects the work that has been put into it. Ms. Tremblay, the secretary at the Terrace Bay campus, inquired at the beginning of the school year about a student newspaper, and decided to see if there was interest when she discovered there hadn't been one for about 12 years. Shortly thereafter, she and Miss Allison Perry, an English teacher at the Terrace Bay campus, became staff advisors to a group of enthusi- astic and dedicated students. Ms Tremblay saw it as an opportunity for students to obtain some valuable experience, while allowing staff and students of the Schreiber and Terrace Bay campus- es to keep in contact. "It's a good source of informa- tion; it develops writing skills and it keeps the campuses in touch," Ms Tremblay explained. A problem with student news- papers everywhere is the lack of involvement by the students them- selves, but Lake Superior High has a comparatively high number of staff members. Both advisors and the student staff readily admit there have been a few problems during the first year, but they say it has been worth It. Sheri Payette, the editor, says she has developed varied skills and experience."It has improved my writing skills and responsibility." She has gained experience on the school computer and has certainly developed interpersonal skills. Shawn Barsey, who has the interesting distinction of being the only male member of the staff, says it has been worth it. When he heard of the drive to get a paper started, he thought it was "a great idea." "Until that point, none had ever thought about it. I went to the meet- ing --it sounded like a lot of fun, and it has been," he said. Tonya Roper, who (along with other duties) is responsible for much of the artwork and cover illustrations, said the staff is always looking for ideas. They decided to donate the bulk of the money to the Schreiber Refugee Committee on behalf of Lake Superior High School. Funds were collected from off-campus sales of the paper, which cost 25 cents per issue. They have yet to decide what to do with the remain- der. Ms Tremblay spoke for the group when she said the paper is a positive boost to fill a gap, and to provide some practical experience for those who want it. "We see a need being fulfilled, and we hope to continue," she stat- ed. If the paper can continue to get the group of dedicated staff and students it has this year, continuing should be no problem. "A lot of students think they have no influence, but a lot of ideas come from students." "We're always watching out for things we can write about," she explained, adding that her involve- ment with the paper has allowed her to become much more active in students issues. Shawn is disappointed that more students don't take the oppor- tunity to become involved. "T wish there was more school spirit. We're always learning something new. A lot of students think they have no influence, but a . lot of ideas come from students." Although there is no set publica- tion date, the staff is ironing out the bugs and the issues are coming out more regularly. The first issue was distributed in November, and the students don't anticipate any problems with con- tinuing for the remainder of the school year. Ms Tremblay said about 100 , copies of the last issue were dis- tributed throughout stores in the area, and the staff were pleasantly ideas and pick up some tips.
