I, the Foliage editor of three years, am to become the official school newspaper editor next year. This leaves me with a bit of a conundrum: do I continue Foliage, and risk ruining the reputation of both papers, not to mention myself, or do I discontinue one or the other?
Neither of those options particularly appeal to me, so, instead of finding someone else to do Foliage by their lonesome (I will recruit, though), I will incorporate Foliage into the official school paper as a semi-regular column seeking to improve the school through satire. This lends Foliage credibility and gives it a larger audience.
This column status may be only temporary. In fact, I fully expect - and hope - that Foliage will return to being a paper in its own right, with a new editor, after I am gone. On the other hand, it could be absolutely hilarious to see it become a regular part of the "officially sanctioned" AHS paper.
The revolution continues; we have achieved our goal of infiltrating the press, now we must strive to bring freedom of thought and freedom of being to the masses.
About Us
- AHS Foliage
- AHS Foliage began as something humorous. It was meant simply to poke fun at popular culture and, possibly, perceived problems within Albuquerque High School. It has become, however, an amalgamation of an international politics journal, a satirical magazine, and an investigative newspaper column. It is intended to be (and hopefully is) a benefit to AHS. Sure, it can be annoying (to some teachers perhaps), but we at Foliage hope that through the annoying buzzing of an oft-ignored semi-underground paper, something good will come for the students at Albuquerque High. Goodness knows they need it.
