“Get Your Torch Here!”

By: C.J. Barekman, Torch Reporter

The Torch has been Olympia’s number one student paper for years and they continue to please their students and staff with new themes and topics every year they publish it.

The Torch is a student newspaper written by the journalism class every year. It changes staff every semester. The Torch contains many big topics and is also filled with games, hidden items, and many other subtopic articles.

The Torch is read by many students at Olympia. Zach Banks said, “Yes, I love to read the Torch.” It only cost a dollar. Often, the Torch staff will hand out a piece of candy with each purchase.

There have been a few changes to the Torch this year and it will include a freshman section and new topics that have never been covered before. Zach Banks said, “I would like to see more juicy gossip in the Torch this year.”

Cody Cheeseman is “very excited” to write for The Torch this year. The Torch staff has to go out and collect information first hand from sources about topics they are covering. Then they meet up as a team and organize the whole thing.

The first edition of The Torch hits newsstands in November and its theme is sharks! What Cody had to say about it was, “Sharks! Shark bait ooh ha ha!”

The Torch has been successful in the past and it will only continue to this year. This year's Torch staff is really excited to bring you the Torch with such an interesting theme.
