New media class produces annual yearbook and a new quarterly magazine

Why will Henley High School teacher and coach Shannon Carlson never again wear her pair of golden stiletto heels? Which 1960 Henley graduate was an Air Force pararescueman who jumped from a plane to retrieve the Gemini III space capsule and pick up its astronauts after it landed in the Atlantic? Who was the first female student to receive a letter for a varsity sport at Henley High School?

The answers to these questions and more can be found in articles in the first edition of Henley High School’s “The Blue and Gold,” a 20-page, glossy magazine featuring students and alumni. The magazine, the first of what will be a quarterly publication, was written, designed and published by the school’s new media class.
