The Old Nor'Wester

By: Yadira Hernandez

Everyone knows about ‘The New Nor’Wester’ but did you ever wonder why it's called the ‘NEW' Nor’wester. The print version of the Nor’Wester was established in 1923, but it has received new life under a new name, ‘The New Nor’Wester’.

The Original Nor’Wester was an actual print newspaper for Northwest Middle School.  The school newspaper  had news about what happened at the school and what was happening outside in the community as well. So students would know the things that were happening around them inside and outside of the school.

Although the ‘Nor'Wester’ and ‘The New Nor’Wester’ sound alike they are actually quite different. While the original Nor’Wester was an actual print newspaper the New Nor’Wester can be found online, and covers a lot more topics such as entertainment, social issues, and self interests.

The earliest newspaper we have is from 1924 to 1925 which would be the picture on the top of this article . So that means the Nor’wester is close to 100 years old. Some people in this school might not even know that this newspaper ever existed . So if you have ever wondered “Why is it called the ‘NEW’ Nor’Wester” it’s a continuation of one of the best school newspapers in the US.😁
