fi A journalistis work was never done. There were stories to write and deadlines to meet and the way to survive was to take it 116 3 AtA Time Journalism is a lot of hard work, says Gaye Bane as she and Shonda Martin work to meet their deadline. Deadlines, headaches, a panic-stricken editor, and an extremely nervous ad- viser were all part of the 'gaveragew journalism class. Days were filled with counting inches, writing and rewriting stories and copy, cropping pictures, and making sure photographers knew exactly what pictures to take. This was not to mention trying to find the who, what, when, where, and why of a potential story to meet the deadline the following day! Being on the Prairie News Staff or putting together the Legend took a lot of hard work, but the staffs compiled a product that made them proud. 4GSometimes it's hard to imagine how the yearbook will look, but when it ar- rives, we all know it was worth our time and effortf, said Sandi Stahl, Legend editor. Bob Belote, sports editor, commented, alt has been a lot of work but I felt sort of proud when the paper came out at the end of the week. This was the first year the newspaper and year- book staffs were divided into separate classes. This enabled Mrs. Bobbie Hansen, adviser, to spend more time with each class. She said, uAlways before, teaching J -ll was like a three ring circus. Newspaper, yearbook, and photography were all going on at the same time. However, some Jour- nalism lll students missed the atmosphere of having newspaper and yearbook in one class. NI liked it better the other way because we were all together, explained Sherry Justice. Although separated, the journalism department was still unified. Nicknames were coined such as umoosepaperw fnewspaperj and udeerbookw lfyearbookj, and notes were often found on the board from the respective classes. Journalism I was slightly different with Mr. Tony Loudis teaching it for the first time. Journalism also had two fringe benefits - Press Club and Quill and Scroll. Press Club was the social aspect for journalists. They spent time planning and thinking of ideas to raise money for a possible trip to New York to attend Col- umbia University Jour- nalism Convention. 6'Quill and Scroll is an honorary society for jour- nalists, said Kim Stahl, president. It gave jour- nalism students a chance to be recognized. Journalism is an out of the ordinary class - not a typical classroom situation. Each person worked toward a common goal. They worked separately, yet everyone came together in the end. And spending two solid hours with the same people formed a certain kind of closeness and unity. It's a different kind of class . . . you learn how to relate to people and com- municatef, said Judy Grant, editor of the Prairie News. 136 f Journalism Kiu?f.1,9LJQM, UZ?-fe plus
