Maroa-Forsyth School Archives
Student Newspaper Collection
The MF School Archives holds collections of both high school and middle school newspapers:
High School Newspapers:
Blue & Gold – "The general purpose of the Blue and Gold is to aquaint the people of the community, especially the parents, with the activities of school life. During the year seven copies are issued. They cover both seriousness and fun in school life and advertise for local merchants as well as outsiders...The pictures taken were candid shots of teachers and pupils in action. By advertisement, subscription, and outside money taken in for each issue, the Blue and Gold has been able to carry on its work" [typographical corrections made]. 2
The Archives houses the majority of Blue and Gold issues from 1930-1960. Selected Blue and Gold images can be found on the MF School Archives' Flickr page.
