2007 Newspapers
This page presents PDF copies of the Oak "K" Newspaper for the 2007 school year.
The volume numbers on each issue shows that it was produced monthly for 2006-2007 school year and we are fortunate to have all issued published. Most of these issues were captured from the school web site archives before it was updated. These are the final copy PDFs compiled from the Journalism Department PCs and delivered to the Paducah Sun for printing. The only difference is the color applied at printing time for the front page heading and the back page full color ads that was provided separately. As direct outputs of the Microsoft Publisher 2003 software they are of cource much clearer and of better quality than the scanned print editions. Only the Special Insert and the May issue were scanned from hard copies found in the Journalism Department archives.
Interestingly, as we scanned the hundreds of old Oak-Ks, dating back to the 1940s, some were found with articles cut. In some cases, multiple copies provided backup, other just left big holes. When scanning the Special Insert produced in September 2007, we found a lot of those cut outs. The Special Insert is made up of articles cut and pasted - literally - from older Oak-Ks providing a collage of historical articles from decades past - quite an interesting read.
