D iscoverer produces more photos £ £ W t was my job to open doors and I steer students away from X errors,” Mrs. Marilou Jasnoch, advisor for The Discoverer, explained. Mrs. Jasnoch enjoyed her first year as advisor, remarking that the only things she had to do was open doors to creativity by giving the reporters ideas and then making sure that they did not make mistakes that would harm the pa- per or the school. Except for the misfortune that the first issue of The Discoverer was lost by the printer, the staff did not have many problems. Eight issues were put out last year. One thing that last year’s staff tried to accomplish was putting more pictures in each issue. They felt that photos made the paper more exciting to read. When asked what she liked best about being advisor for The Discoverer, Mrs. Jasnoch replied, “The students were independent- I didn’t have to play mom!!” Jeanette Frazer and Editor Grctchen Markel decide which photo to use for the front page story. Dan Sherbo looks the newly-printed Discoverer over before it is distributed. Stuffing papers is part of the job for Jeanette Fra- zer, Caitlin Ellefson, Greg Asche, Bob Haus- mann and Gretchen Markel. One of the advantages of being on the Discoverer staff, shown by Managing Editor Dan Schmit, is getting to read the paper before anyone else. “I need more of page six, Greg Asche says to a fellow paper stuffer.

arketing insight to business The coordinated system of business activities designed to provide products and services that satisfy the needs and wants of customers through exchange processes. What is this? This is marketing. There were two marketing classes available to students, Marketing I and II. Marketing I was offered to juniors and sen- iors and Marketing II was offered to stu- dents with a prerequisite of Marketing I. The marketing classes were taught by Mrs. Roberta Uhrig and Mr. Richard Young. The classes taught skills in marketing, merchandising, management and human relations. Students also studied advertising, promotion and the functions of businesses. They also were involved with creating dis- plays, role playing and working at local businesses through the internship pro- gram. Amy Busteed replied to the question of why she enjoyed Marketing. “Marketing gives you an insight into what the marketing, merchandising and management world has to offer. It helps develop skills for life.” Students in Marketing I work on a project together. One of the many displays done by marketing students created by Lisa Eusterbrock and Tad Steulpnagel. Camie Watson works hard putting up a display. Jenny Hartl. Lori Gellermann. Rhonda Bugay and Gary Beckman study a new product. Can you name all of the stars? was a contest put up by Jeff Bettenhausen and Kyle Tonniges. 14 Academics

earbook: a year-round job To the average student or teacher, it may seem that all the year- book staff did was roam the halls and sneak food into the Production Room. However, contrary to popular belief, the staff put in a lot of hard work and ex- tra hours. Work on the book began during the summer before school was even a glim- mer in most students’ minds. Mr. Robert Adams, yearbook advi- sor, held early morning meetings at his house during the summer months. These were organizational meetings, and the main purpose of them was to get the edi- tors together to start thinking about the book. Irene Nieuwenhuis, editor-in-chief, was in charge of most of the organization of the book. She said that this job was difficult when she had to tell the staff what to do. It was the job of the three section ed- itors to assign individual deadlines to their sections. Kris Rayman was layout editor, Robyn Trew, photo editor and Caitlin Ellefson, copy editor. Rayman’s favorite part of being sec- tion editor was, “Knowing my ideas are going into the book and being respected by the staff for my judgement.” Trew also liked that part of being photo editor. She felt the hardest thing about her job was, “Putting up with ev- eryone in a cramped darkroom and still producing quality photos.” “Being copy editor was great be- cause I got along with my staff so well and I never had to yell at them to get things done,” Ellefson remembered. “I guess you have to be smarter than the comput- er,” Jeff Buntgen thinks as he tries to get the printer to work. Brent Schumacher cuts negatives and gets ready to file them. During the lunch hour, Mr. Adams meets with Kris Rayman, Irene Nieuwenhuis and Caitlin Ellefson to discuss possibilities for the book. David Wight makes sure the copy matches up with his layout. Irene Nieuwenhuis explains which pictures would be best for Tammy Dush's layout. 16 Academics
