The school and college press: the Alltold, the Miskodeed, the Lance, the Beacon

At anchor size · the printing history only

Mishawaka High School's newspaper is the Alltold and its yearbook the Miskodeed — the schools section carries both as institutions; what belongs here is their print course. The Miskodeed's early editions are themselves primary sources: the 1924 edition, and the 1929, 1930 and 1931 editions after it, print "The Mishawaka Schools" history sections from which the schools record is substantially built, and editions from 1924 forward survive in the Internet Archive's copies — the high school's annual doubling, for a century now, as the school's own archive of record. The Alltold's course beyond its standing as the school's paper in 2026 is not documented in the record reached. Marian High School's newspaper is The Lance and its yearbook the Madrigal: the 2004 Madrigal documents the Lance at work under its editor-in-chief, senior Katie Griesinger, and Madrigal editions — 1988, 1998, 2004 among them — survive in the Archive from the public library's own bound copies, stamped from its Heritage Center shelves.

Bethel's paper is The Beacon. The Standard Periodical Directory's 2013 edition lists, under Mishawaka college student press, "Beacon, The — Bethel College," at 1001 West McKinley Avenue, print and online, with its faculty advisor named; the same directory lists Bethel's yearbook as The Helm. One confusion is dispelled in print because it waits for every searcher: the Bethel Clarion, an honored student newspaper, belongs to Bethel University of St. Paul, Minnesota — the Indiana Bethel's paper is the Beacon, and no Clarion was ever printed in Mishawaka. The Preface and Analecta of Indiana University South Bend, whose campus stands on Mishawaka Avenue, are South Bend publications of a South Bend institution and belong to that city's record.
