Crest Receives Second Class Rating At Columbia Press Association Convention in New York City
Black and Gold has received a first place rating inits enrollment class at the sixteenth annual contest of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association held at New York last week.
Gale Stubbs, Crest representative
to the convention, wired that the Crest
had received second place in its class. The
rating was the same as last year.
Eight issues of the Black and Gold of last fall, submitted by Irving Barkan and Mai-Fan O'Callaghan, last term's editors-in-cheif, were rated on the basis of make-up, technique, and content of writing, and general considerations, which consist of the paper's general appeal, educational force, influence on school opinion, editorial policies, and advertising. Last year, the paper received 850 points out of a possible 1,000, which was also first place. The scoring sheet for this year has not yet been received.
Every year three contests are held for high school papers-The Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the Quill and Scroll, and the National Scholastic Press Association. The editors are awaiting the returns of the National Scholastic Press Contest which they expect in April.
"We, the present editors and staff, are trying to maintain and develop those good qualities which have enabled the Black and Gold< to receive this first rating," said Charlotte Mahler, co-editor-in-chief.
