Paw Prints: Now And Then

A new issue of the school newspaper Paw Prints is out! If you cannot find a copy, there are some available on the library front counter. You are always welcome to stop by to pick one up!

Yesterday, when one of Tedd Brent's journalism students delivered a bundle of the latest issue, we started talking about how I had found a bunch of old issues when cleaning the library this past fall. With the help of my library aides, we have put them in order and are now starting to inventory them for inclusion in the future West Hills High School Museum and Archive. There are some holes in our collection, but we're hoping to track down every issue!


Below is a picture of the very first issue of Paw Prints. Notice that this Volume 1, Number 1 from December 1987 was published before there was even a name for the paper.


Within the first issue, there was a "Dear Flabby" advice column. Here is an excerpt that could apply to students today as much as it did over 17 years ago:
