1990 Newspapers

Oak-K Newspapers from the 1989-1990 School Year may be found via the menu to the right all presented in PDF format for viewing or download.

We have eight of the nine numbered issues, plus the May Senior Edition. There apparently was an issue between the March; issue 7 and the April issue No 9, which we don't have. We also did not find all of the October 2nd issue; only 8 of an apparent 12 pages. From the Oak Leaves archive this issue was a "xerox" copy on standard memo paper, an indication of problems long ago. We really wished the October 2nd issue was complete as there was a page 4 article about the then new office with apparently a lot of historical information in it. Unfortunately, it was continued to a page 12 which we don't have. IF ANYONE HAS THE OCTOBER 2ND OAK-K, PLEASE CONTACT US.

Much improved over the previous year's newsprint editions, the 1989-90 volume starts off great! But, it seems to kinda run out of ink by the end of the year. Inconsistent ink density, contrast and fading showed up especially in the senior edition. This appears to be more related to the variety of fonts and printers for the original copies than the printing process as the pictures look great. The paper letter size continued for all except the April issue which was oddly smaller. Every effort was made to make all articles readable, but some require a little more effort.

All of these issues came from the Journalism archives. Many thanks to the LOHS staff for giving us access. Enjoy your trip down memory lane with these issues of the LOHS newspaper.
