Letter from the Editor
It has been an interesting
and molding experience in
creating my first issue of the

working on this first issue for

of 2005 when Danielle
Ramsay, our first Editor-in-
Chief, approached me about
continuing the establishment
of the Fourth Wall. First, I
would like to thank the
Students of Penn State Mont

Alto for showing the interest
of having a campus newspaper.
I am very proud of all that has
been accomplished thus far. As
the new Editor in Chief, I look
forward to informing the
student body with the
excellence necessary. It has been
a long journey in getting
acquainting with all the
software and learning process
of the newspaper business.
I would like to take this time
to thank the support of the
student government association,
local businesses, Jim Vomero
and the
Commonwealth Student
Government. Where would we
be without giving thanks to the
guidance and help of our former
Editor in Chief Danielle
Ramsay, advisors Dr. Peter
Dendle, and Dr. Kevin Boon.
A special thanks to the staff
writer’s, because without them
there would not be a
newspaper. I look forward in
hearing more input and
creating a more prosperous
path of awareness for the
students at Mont Alto.
