Here are some covers and a credit page from Lane High School's 1969 underground newspaper called "Blast". My wife and I contributed stories to it (she is in the credits). I cannot remember if we were honored by the school administration by being banned, I think (and hope)so. These are the only three I found, I think they were the only ones published. After reading our articles (and my cring-worthy poem) I considered burning them, as they may be the last in existence. However, I decided that they were worth their weight in gold after I showed them to our teenagers, who ,too often I think, place their parents in the "always were boring" box. "Cool, Mom got banned?"

ReplyDeleteHi Wick -- just saw this thanks to Russell Har's Facebook post. Yes, Blast! was banned and at least a couple of us were suspended for distributing it on school grounds. Only three issues -- never to be equaled again!
