BACK Dawson, Mrs. Henry, 8dV1S9f- Skills That Last A Lifetime Being a member of the Courier staff provided 11 stu- dents with knowledge they said would last a lifetime. They learned the value of ac- curacy, the importance of re- specting other opinions and how to utilize time. They were taught to discipline themselves through journal- istic techniques. Developing writing skills, for example, can be applied to many other areas of study. Throughout the years, the Castle Courier strived for professionalism. Each year more awards were earned. This year, the Courier re- ceived the state sweepstakes runner-up from the Colorado High School Press Associ- ation, along with several in- dividual awards. Editor-in-Chief Robin Pouilly received an Honor- able Mention from the Na- tional Scholastic Press Asso- ciation on her 1983 Student Council Elections editorial. Robin was one of only seven students nationwide to be honored with this award. The Castle Courier also re- ceived The George H. Gallup award from Quill and Scroll and an All-American rating from the National Scholastic Press Association. Overall, being on the newspaper staff has proved to be an invaluable exper- ience, Robin commented. I have learned skills that will last my entire life.

BACK ROW: John Brown, Jeff Hard Work Engenders Satisfaction Easier Said Than Done Ahh, a finished product! Oh, it felt so good. Looking back we remembered . . . It was room 135, fifth hour. There were 13 of us. Day after day we worked - sometimes laughing, sometimes in a hushed silence. Yearbook was different than our other classes. It was a dif- ferent kind of work, a different style and pace. When some- thing needed to be done, it had to be done. Any tale a staffer might offer as an excuse for un- finished work was simply in- teresting but not important. Countless hours were contri- buted by every staff member. Interviews had to be conducted and information gathered. Copy and captions were then written and rewritten until ev- ery word was just right. Pic- tures had to be taken, devel- oped, and printed. The list of tasks was infamous. There were times of discour- agement for all but those times passed. Some of our fondest memories were of handing in that layout, getting back proofs having Mrs. Noll give you that good job, hang in there look, but most of all seeing all that time and effort come back to us bound and printed on crisp white sheets just as we had planned but couldn't quite imagine. l
