Bolton High School (Louisiana) - Publications of The School

Publications of The School

The school's publications include the Cumtux (newspaper), the Bruin (yearbook), the Ecrivez (literary magazine), Studio BTV (student-run morning news channel) and its End of the Year Video, a compilation of all events that have happened over the school year. The Cumtux, published on average six times per year, has been student-run since 1912. The Cumtux is the "oldest high school newspaper in the south". The Bruin, published every year since 1925, is the annual yearbook done by the student body. It is in full color, and is a fall delivery book. The Bruin was originally published to alleviate the items in the Cumtux's Senior Issue, which reached in excess of 70 pages in 1924. The Ecrivez was originally done by the Bolton Publications Staff. It has now been absorbed by the English department. It features writings and photography from the student body. Studio BTV is Bolton's news broadcast service. It takes full advantage of the Digital Academy, as it is shown through Blackboard. It ranges from 1 minute to 4 minutes in length. One extinct publication, The Cub, was a somewhat miniature version of the Bruin. Now called "the blue book" by students, it was Bolton's first handbook, complete with rules, regulations, specifications for athletic letters, a pullout map of the school, history of the school, and much more. It was published for the first time in the 1927-28 school year.
