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

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.

Student Council is an elected and repre- sentative organization of the student body. There are eighteen representatives elected for the coming year inthe month of May. These people range from fresh- men to seniors, but must have been involved in a previous year of Student Council. To be put on the ballot one must obtain 2095 of the students signatures. During the year the members must main- tain a 2.5 grade point average. Officers for the school year of l977-78 were Mark Schrooten, president: Gloria Perez. vice-president: Robin Roberts. sec- retary: and Robert Borden, treasurer. Sponsor for the year was Mrs. Celeste Wiseman, history teacher. It's really been rewarding to have Mrs. Wiseman as our student council advisorg she handled difficult situations easily and gave us the incentive to work hard and accomplish our goals - but I don't know how she put up with us, said Mark. The council plans to set up a marquis in the future, to be used to post announce- ments, activities, and awards. 'They also plan to assemble some sort of school emblem in the gym. Also, they're looking into the idea of having ajuke box in the Cafetorium. And possibly stone benches to be set up in the mall area. lj 'LI THINK THE Administration should attend all the meetings. Member of the council Gretchen Sul- livan: Senior says. I know the school would be lost without the council. 23 I VOTE AND help think up new ideas. said Joan Sambaluk,,junior and a member of the council. 33 ALANTA LUCAS. JUN- IOR is in her first year of the council but says.
