Visit the Torch Website
June 12, 2007
When the Torch staff sell most of these Torches, we hear a lot of the time, "Sorry I don't have any money" or "Left my wallet in my car." These wonderful stories and articles shouldn't be left unread. Now thanks to the web team for The Torch, Brooks Williams, Jacob Hadsall and Mrs. Mullen, The Torch is on the web, bringing all the pictures and great stories with it.
There are a few draw backs with this new addition to The Torch's coverage. Not all stories that are in The Torch printed edition will be placed on the web. This doesn't mean there will only be a few stories, it just doesn't guarantee that every story will be published on the web. "Even if just some articles are put on the internet, it's a step in the right direction for The Torch,” said Sophomore Courtney Martin. The on-line version of the school paper will also run one issue behind the printed version, so don't fear--students will still be able to read a printed version of the paper.
The Torch web site also offers e-mail to the editor and a comment opportunity to allow for suggestions to be made. Also, need to know the weather? Visit The Torch web site and see if the big game against U-High will get rained out. Right now the link to the Torch site is on the OHS library home page, but a link will soon appear on the main page of the district's web site.
The team has just released the URL to the school and The Torch is ready to expand into a whole new direction. "Oh-man, I just can't wait to see The Torch web site," said Junior Eric Biehl.
"Check out The Torch online. There is lots to see and read. You can look at current information or look in the archive for past news," said the head of Torch's web department Mrs. Mullen.
