J Students Gather ‘Fragments’ for Yearbook Much piecing and puzzling went into the formation of FRAGMENTS '71. Laying out pages, writing cap- tions, composing copy, cropping pictures, and completing mats consumed the many hours spent by the Speech 12 students. Al- though the problem of pressing deadlines faced this group, they strove to meet the situation head- on. Keeping the night oil burning became a common practice be- fore the final deadline could be met. To help unify the production of the yearbook the class, under the direction of Advisor Lyle Fod- nes, chose co-editors, Bob Cop- len and Kathy Prochazka and sev- en section editors, Bill Smith Sports; Vicki Hansen and Jann Moeller Activities; and Terry Du- fek, Kent Frost, Marcia Price, and Gary Powell Academics. The re- mainder of the class worked both individually and in groups to- ward the completion of the book. Annual sales reached a record breaking high this year. Business manager Karen Prochazka headed the financial campaign which took care of the annual subscriptions and fall distribution. Rodney Planansky held the re- sponsibility of student photograph- er. He also developed many of the pictures in his own dark room. Being on annual staff gave the students of Speech 12 an oppor- tunity to use their imagination, express their ideas, and to prac- tice the fundamentals of good journalism. 18

Speech Classes Work to Brief Local Patrons Speech classes expanded this year with the addition of a technical class, TV-Production. It introduced the students to television equipment and the fundamentals used in operating it. These classes practiced by taping instructors during lec- tures, discussions, demonstrations, and most school activities involving student performances. View- ing these allowed the leaders and participants to evaluate themselves. On air every Tuesday at 4:30 p.m., the HHS radio program briefed the public of the current school events through KCOW, Alliance. Senior speech class held the responsibility of seeking and taping the news. Through this class the students gained the knowledge of collecting facts, writing them into informative stories, and presenting the program to the people. Speech 11 students published THE FELINE. Giving the students the basis for their HHS news- paper, Speech 11 members learned the fundamen- tals of practical journalism. The students reported on organizational activities, social events, academ- ics, sports, achievements of individual students, and both personal and school-involved editorials. The staff circulated this publication bi-monthly to the subscribing members of the community. 17
