In 1954, work being done at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory was classified, so it couldn't be covered by Lab-Oratory, the JPL employee newspaper. Instead, the staff wrote about social events, personal gossip, employee sports teams, and even published marriage and birth announcements, vacation photos and retirement party photos.
