Welcome To A&M
A great opportunity to learn by the experience of others
is being presented this weekend.
Some of the nation’s top journalists are here to pass on
to the budding news-gatherers bits of advice and learning—
knowledge gained by the tried and true way—experience.
In addition to the prepared talks, mingling with these
people will provide much in the way of useful tips and added
inspiration.
With the'thought of having something valid to offer,
the journalists at A&M take pride in welcoming all the del
egates plus guests to the annual Congress.
We believe each of us has much to learn and hope this
chance is used eagerly.
Once again, welcome to A&M.
