Prelude Rates
All-American

   Without even touching a football, the staff of the Prelude has been awarded an All-American rating for the spring season of '57.
   All-American is the highest rating given to a school publication by the National Scholastic Press Association.
   The rating shows the association's evaluation of the Prelude as compared with publications produced by other schools of approximately the same enrollment, by similar methods of publication and with the same frequency of issue per month.
   This is the first time that the Prelude has captured an All-American award.
   Sister M. Bettina, Prelude advisor, gives credit for the improvements in the paper to the principles taught by Mr. James Withey, journalism professor at the University of Notre Dame.
   "He has organized journalism better than any book I've seen on the subject. For instance, he teaches 'warm news' and three different techniques of writing it," she says.
   "Of course, we had a talented staff, too."
