To Whom It May Concern:
I went to Roseman room 2005 on the 11th to pick up the critique and award for both The Cardinal News and The Cardinal Pennant from Wauwatosa East. We did get our yearbook and newspapers back with some marks in them, but I didn’t receive any critique notes on a separate handout for The Cardinal News, and the sheets we did receive for The Cardinal Pennant only include the odd pages–it looks like even pages may have been misplaced.
If either of those things turn up, could you please mail them to me at Megan Sampson, 7500 Milwaukee Ave., Wauwatosa, WI 53213?
Thanks!

So sorry this happened, Megan. I will email you with direction for getting in touch with the people at UW-Whitewater who handle the critiques for us.
