If you're writing for a high school paper, I highly recommend reading abook called "The Radical Write" by Bobby Hawthorne. It does a good job of showing you the way newspaper feature articles should be written to succeed with teenagers.

I don't really think that filling your paper with articles is a bad thing. Most high school papers err on the other side, filling their rag with mindles filler like cutesy clipart and word searches and crap. Write interesting, probing articles and people will read it.
