Triton’s Call celebrated its 50th anniversary on Nov. 13, 2015.

The event was organized by the UOG Communication Honor SocietyLamba Pi Eta and the communication department.

The event was held at the Hall of Governors, Latte of Freedom complex and in attendance were future and past members of the Triton’s Call.

“It’s wonderful, it’s a great way to highlight all that the Triton’s Call has done to inform others and to be a part of the history that we have celebrated tonight,” said Matilda Naputi Rivera, Ph.D. former editor-in-chief of Triton’s Call.

Naputi expressed how the newspaper has evolved over the years from being print, to now having an online presence.

“I was really pleased to see people that I haven’t seen in years, and I made some new friends too,” said Maureen Maratita, Publisher of Glimpses Publications. Maratita served as the editor-in-chief of Triton’s Call about 15 years ago.

She explained how the content of the Triton’s Call has varied enormously, and shows how much the staff really cares about the newspaper.

Triton’s Call has been the University of Guam’s student newspaper since 1965. Since then, it has become the leading instrument for news and information for UOG students and the community, and continues to evolve over the years.
