PAPER. ANNUAL RECORDED EVENTS Well, would you believe we . . . goofed? asked Nancy Dungan and Pat Yobe of Mr. DeWeerd. Without the journalism classes, our paper, The Desert Gazette, and our yearbook, The Panther Trails, could never be published. Imagine not reading about the latest school activities or having the year's memories recorded for pos- terity! The newspaper staff and the annual staff are sponsored by Mr. DeWeerd. His help is priceless when it comes to meet- ing a deadline for either class. Mr. DeWeerd has been known to come to school on Saturdays or vacations just to open up the room so staff members can work on their various jobs. He is indispensable to all. The Desert Gazette is published about every two weeks and the students receive their Panther Trails a few days before school terminates for the year. Working hard, or hardly at work, part of the Panther Trails staff contemplate about their various sections.
