East High School - Angelus Yearbook (Denver, CO)

Page 20 text:

Providing a training ground for students interested in journalism, and informing the student body and parents, of school activities is the dual purpose of the East publications, The Spotlight accomplished this by reporting matters of interest ranging from sporting events to news of outstanding cherubs, while the Angelus summarized the school year's activities in words and pictures to give to the student a picture of his high school life. The Spotlight strived this year to promote the school spirit of the Angels, to entertain its readers through a feature page and special columns, and to educate the readers so that they would become alert and open- minded citizens of their high school. By means of roundtable discussions and post mortems, the Spotlight staff analyzed the needs of the students and tried to fulfill them, and in that way improve the paper. In the Angelus office one might have seen a chart with little squares that someone was filling in with red pencil, This strange operation pertained not only to the artists, section editors or photographers, but also l to the editor of the yearbook, lt was lthe deadline sheet, and each square was filled only iflthe deadline was made. As the staff members lookedmt this sheet and realized the necessity of doing their best in the time provided, it could easily be seen by each staff member that his job was vital to the success of the Angelus. , The Spotlight and Angelus staffs have a combined photographic crew. Together the staffs lset up cam- mittees in order to co-sponsor the Homecoming dance. The business aspect of the publication was very important to the sale of the Spotlight, and for the gqle of East stickers an assembly was given which starred home-grown Angel talent, The Angelus realized the need for a successful business campaigngand through vigorous publicity during the first of the year, they sold many more Angelus photo coupons than they ever had before. At the beginning of the second semester they worked on posters that were filled with modern, cami- cal faces, and the slogan was, See everybody in the Angelus. These helped to boost the Angelus sqle,
