Business manager, Dick Jackoboice, faced difficult financial problems for the Flintlocle this year. The Board of Education saved the day with on offset printing machine, purchased for the use of the school. Then the staff was able to set their own type and headlines, and cut production costs in half. The new printing machine, an experienced advisor, Mr. Froys- land, an able and energetic newspaper staff with an exceptionally capable editor, Karin O'Malley, made possible the best newspaper East has ever had. Karin and her make-up editor, Sandie Lamb, spent Will this article fit in the space? many Saturdays in the Flintlurk room of the newly acquired Higgins House revising and checking articles turned in by reporters, namely Judy Plett, Mary Her- scher, Sib Burleson and Kathy Kress, Tony Todd was the associate editor, Doug Wood handled the Sports department, Claire Aitken managed public relations, and Terry Cliff was in charge of photography. Ann McMullen, circulation manager, saw that each issue of the Flintlock was distributed to East students while Ann Oltman exchanged our paper with high schools all over the state and country. Mrs. McSween helps Doug and Karin with the printing.
