The Bayonet
The Bayonet is the AMA newsletter. When the school was in operation, it was a student publication. Since the school has been closed, the Bayonet has served as the official newsletter of the AMA Alumni Association and the AMA Alumni Foundation.
Many Bayonets are available here in PDF format. Some of the issues are large and may take some time to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection.
There is also an index of these Bayonets, also in PDF format.
