| The Lamar Lancer was
more than a
newspaper, it was the link between classes, between classmates, between
faculty and students. It was our first experience with freedom of
speech if not freedom of the press. It was the birthplace and
home of such
notables as Ignatius Snigglefritz
and Asa Terthrug. It was
our
own. Now, through the efforts of Wayne Shull, we have several of the issues and articles captured from our time at Lamar. Click on the Lamar Lancer title below to bring up each PDF file of about 3 MegaBytes in size. |
