Proud Piper Participants 5t d xd by Brad Kasselman When asked, most people are under the false impression that the Piper season starts in Septem- ber. But these misinformed peo- ple may be surprised to learn that some special staff members be- gan intense preparation as early as the first week of April in the previous school year. Last sum- mer, Liz Krebs, Libbie Wilson, Elissa Sard, Katy Andreae, Kris- tin Fitzpatrick, Stacey Springer, Claudette Rowley, Paul Mylod, and Doug Engle attended a na- tional yearbook workshop for a week at Ball State University. There they participated in daily workshops with mock deadlines in order to master those skills neces- sary to survive on an award winning yearbook staff. Awards for the 1985 Piper included both the Buckeye Award and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association ' s highest ra- tings. But the awards are fringe benefits of why they do it. I like the satisfaction of seeing the final product in full life and color. The chance to use my creativity gives me great pleasure, said academ- ics editor Paul Mylod. But unfortunately, yearbook doesn ' t seem so great all of the time. Those times when editors were screaming about making the i6 Taking over as ad- viser has been a real honor.

Yet, some like the pressure. Sarah York stated, There ' s a big advan- tage in having so much indepen- dence . You can work ahead or fall behind as far as you want. So basically, the Piper staff described as a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off, sometimes said staffer Chris Raymond. Yet, at times, new yearbook advisor Gino Perri ' s impression off the staff was quite high. When I took over as adviser, I was very impressed not only by their talents and dedication, but the professionalism with which they do their work. The time is 2:34 pm.

Above Ground Again .JOT? ' With only five editors and about ten other members of the Highlan- der ' s staff, the paper was com- pleted with perfection every month of the school year. Sea- holm ' s Highlander newspaper has been around for several years but was discontinued temporarily due to a lack of funds and support. Thanks to advisor Jeanne Cren- shaw the Highlander has been lifted to its feet once again and remains standing for a fourth year. With the support and en- couragement of the administra- tion and a strike of luck the paper may become a permanent time- piece of Seaholm High School. With the guidance of Cren- shaw, the editorial staff is com- posed of Co-editors Claudette Rowley and Andy Jordan, Fea- ture Editor Lynne Sherwood. News Editor Mike Albrecht, and Photo Editor Linda Cadaret. To- gether in an editorial meeting the by Bob Matz Staff brainstorms for interesting feature topics. The topics we choose, explains junior Co-editor Andy Jordan, Must be up-com- ing topics, otherwise when the paper comes out the features may have already come and gone. Once the features have been chosen and assignments have been issued, the staff is turned loose to complete their assign- ments. It is during this time that If it weren ' t for the assistance of Mrs. Crenshaw and the hard work and dedica- tion of the staff, the paper would fall from near perfection to non -existence. ) Andy Jordan an entire issue of the Highlander is composed. All of the work is done on our time, explains Mike Rehfus, which makes the final product even more rewarding. After three weeks the staff meets again to arrange bits of copy and ads to form an attractive layout. If everything worked without such interuptions as the Kroy lettering machine breaking down, articles not written or photos not taken, the paper was ready to be printed and distributed through- out the student body of Seaholm. The Highlander is entering com- petition by sending issues to the Michigan Interscholastic Press Asso- ciation. The rating will be an- nounced in the spring of 1987. With the experience that the editors gained this summer at the Ball State University Journalism Workshop, the paper is bound to get a mark of perfection.
