My brother Richard and I were recently at mom's house in Huntsville, and he found this newsletter while exploring some papers from his days at Grissom High School. This tongue-in-cheek publication seems to be a one-off issue for April Fool's in 1975. But who knows?
The long item on page 1,"Suspenders Snap at Students for Illicit Literature" includes a call for submissions from students and faculty and mentions "here at Grissom." In the piece on the upper left of the back page, meant to be an acknowledgement of "Our Infectious Staff", the names Tom Watson and Marc Smith are given. Watson was one of Richard's best friends in high school.
Between these two bits of reality, high school humor abounds. Some of it is actually funny. Read and decide for yourself!
This publication came forth at the old Grissom High School; I've done a blog post on that facility. I've also written one about April Fool's at Auburn University in 1962. The things these high school and college students of yore get up to!
