Introducing the Hi-Crier

The James A. Garfield high school newspaper, having undergone a dramatic change in terms of format as well as medium, will also be changing its title from the more basic and traditional moniker of, "The Paper" to "The Hi-Crier". While the reasons behind this image shift may be a mystery to some of our readers, rest assured that the capable staff at Mass Media Survey had good reason to do so.
It's an accepted and well known fact that many fine things in life are prefaced by "hi" or other "hi" homonyms. The staff felt that these amenities should not only be their inspiration, but should also be listed for the viewing pleasure of the reader.
For instance:


• "High Fidelity" was a good movie
• "High maintenance" is a very popular colloquial term, although not positive
• "Hi-Fi" products of the 1950's
• Your "Hi"ness
• "Heinen's grocery store, a very reliable chain
• "Hi"-perspace, a very imaginative and fast mode of space travel.
• The High Dive, an aquatic test of bravery
• High Fives, a contributing part of our beloved newspaper
• Highlander, BECAUSE THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!
• Haikus
• Hyphens-more useful than you might think
• Hype, a valuable promotional tool in the journalism business (Our business)
• High culture
• Taking the "Hi" road
• Robert plant was "Hi" pitched
• We go to a "Hi" school
• Hibernation, which keeps the noble grizzly from freezing to death
• Hiatus, which synonymous with vacation time and R&R
• "Hi" hopes
• "Hi" spirits
• Lucy in the "Hi" with Diamonds, ok maybe not
• Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy


While this could go on ad nauseam, the staff felt that our adoring public would have already gotten the picture. The last and final reason, however, is that this is not the first time that paper has been dubbed "The Hi-Crier", and we felt that the reemergence of the title would bring a touch of class and antiquity to our project. Traditions are by definition unforgettable, and the able staff at Mass Media Survey is no exception.
