i Nuntius — A Nonstop Job Over the summer four members of the Nuntius staff attended a yearbook work- shop at Roanoke College where activities for yearbook week were planned. When school opened, ads totaling $2800 had been sold and plans had been made for the format of this book. Yearbook week rolled around the last of September. A Powder Puff football game between junior and senior girls started the activities. On the second day a Hairy Leg Contest with male faculty contestants took place at 8 a.m. Can we ever forget Mr. Smith’s sleezy entrance? A tacky dress contest for students and faculty concluded the activities. Boy, did Mr. Lange surprise us with his outfit! Yearbook week ended with an assembly in which “the Reverend Ernest Hainsley” urged all sisters and brothers to purchase their 1982 Nuntius. His remarks were tak- en to heart as 500 committed to purchase “Reverend Ernest Hainsley,” better known as Greg Pribble, urges brothers and sisters to purchase the 1982 Nuntius. a Nuntius in the week that followed. Then the staff began the long trek to- wards meeting four deadlines. The dark- room finally got in gear with teams work- ing during class and after school. Photog- raphers met each Tuesday morning for weekly assignments. Color pages, a new venture, were sent to the publisher first. Not until March could editor-ih-chief Cheryl Childress relax as final proof pages rolled in for approval. By then it was time to begin thinking about spring sports pic- tures for the 1983 Nuntius and the non stop job of school coverage.

JA, Paper Hectic Stations Learning the responsibility of running a business and a trade is not an easy job, but can make the difference in the future world of work. Students taking part in Ju- nior Achievement and “The Orange Ex- press’’, our newspaper, learned how a busi- ness operates and how to operate a busi- ness. With the council of Mr. Larry Hunley and Mr. Wesley Osborne the students of J.A. made barettes and magazine racks. They attended a spaghetti supper where they got orders for these products. Elected officers received a set salary of $4.00 a month while the regular workers made 40 cents an hour. It was the job of Elizabeth Eubanks, Lisa Reaves and Mitsy Witt as- semble hair barretts, one of the money making items J.A. made lt Newspaper the secretary-treasurer to keep the books and the bank account. She also had to write the checks. The “Orange Express” printed four edi- tions, one at the beginning of school — a welcome back edition, one on Valentine’s Day, a St. Patrick’s Day copy, and the last edition honoring graduating seniors. With the help of Mrs. Helen Goldsmith, advi- sor, and Kevin Owen, editor, the “Orange Express” recorded events of student life and opinions of students such as the heart messages in the February paper. Patti Foster and Robbie Duff put finishing touches on their hair barretts. J.A. workers met faithfully every Monday from 6 til 8 p.m. Advisors Larry Hunley, and Wes Osborne show Eli- zabeth Eubanks and Troy Brown how to construct magazine racks, one of the products manufactured by J.A. workers
