This year the Midway celebrates its 100th year of publication. Since its founding, the Midway has overcome obstacles, documented U-High history and become one of the most recognized high school newspapers in the nation.

In the journalism storage room, a team of Midway staff looked through Midway archives dating back to 1924, finding powerful stories, alumni and images to showcase the diverse coverage of U-High history in 100 items — 10 lists of 10. While the archives have a few gaps, the information presented here still captures the Midway’s legacy at U-High.
