New li ht table, correspondents, Newspaper is not a typical aca- demic atmosphere. Instead a student finds daily excitement while covering important events, persons. and places through words and pictures. It takes a special type of student, who doesn't have to be told what to do every minute in class. said Publications Advisor Bert Reynolds. Students can join newspaper by being a good writer, an artist. or a pho- tographer. They should also have good grades and writing. and be a serious individual with ambition and creative ideas. according to Mrs. Reynolds. In the future, the Prospectus Staff hopes to add more cameras and use color pictures in the newspaper. Changes included: the addition of a darkroom and a new printer. Sims Printing. Phoenix.

Mrs. Bert Reynolds, The Prospector Advisor, is talking about the recognition and awards presented to the '76-77 edition of The Prospector Yearbook. Receiving a first place rating from Columbia Scholastic Press Association from Columbia University, The Prospector was rated second by National School Yearbook! Newspaper Asso- ciation based at Texas Tech University, and was awarded the silver medallion from the Western Association of Scholastic School Publications. Other than CSPA, NSYNA, and WASSP, the yearbook is involved in Arizona lnterscholastic Press Association's workshops. Edited by Karolette Bumpas, senior, who: said Mark Schrooten, senior, . . . provides the nec- essary leadership, while applying her various skills compiled in her three year experience in yearbook production. Differences surrounding the production included: a new representative from Taylor Publishing Co., 16 pages of full color. The staff also had a new printing enlarger, 35 mm Konica camera, and scenic senior pic- tures from Imperial Photography. The staff was much more experienced than any previous year. Requirements needed to enter the yearbook program are: that you've taken one semester of beginning journalism, have respectable grades in school . . . most importantly, however, is that one has a particular flair for writing, photogra- phy, art, advertising, and reporting. Any staffer needs extra ambition, good repetoire act' with faculty members and students alike, and a cre- ative imagination, according to Mrs. Reynolds. Yearbook earns money by selling annuals, advertisements, and pictures. Plans for the future include a larger volume, more pictures illustrating every section, and of course, retaining their previous reputation for best: photography and copywriting. At the end of the year, Mrs. Reynolds awards students for best: photographer, copy writer. headline writer, book salesman, and ad salesman. All around, the 1978 Prospector has pro- vided another vivid panorama of Apache Junc- tion High School . . . focusing on better cover- age through copy, captions, and cuts fphotos, for those of you who aren'tjournalisticj. - Mark Schrooten Take 65 Freeze shots
