| The
Acropolis is the Andrean student newspaper. |
|
The Acropolis was first published in November 1959. A group
of freshman, under the direction of Sr. Alice SS.C.M., produced the
first issue. It was four pages. In that first issue the editors gave
this explanation for the name. "In ancient Greece, the Acropolis
was the center of activity and interest. We hope our paper will be
the center of interest at Andrean, recording and reflecting Life at
Andrean." |
|
In the early 70's Sr. Alice passed the baton to Sr. Gilmary SS.C.M.
and the 73-74 staff received an award from the Columbia Press Association.
Mrs. Edith Dakich followed by Mr. Ray DeFabio took the reins for
most of the 80's. Mrs. Teresa (Bushemi) Procter (69) brought the
paper into the computer age. She taught the staff to use desktop
publishing software to produce the paper. The Acropolis continued
to receive awards under the direction of the next moderator, Mrs.
Terry Putz. Under the present moderator, Mrs. Nancy Kelley-Fernandez,
every phase of production of the newspaper is computerized. In 2007-08
software was upgraded to Adobe In Design.
