Photographers enjoy field trips Semester courses in photography were once again a popular offering, taught by Mr. John Sanders, and classes were full. Beginning classes explored dif- ferent approaches to basic photo assignments in an effort to stress the creativity of the student. Ad- vanced classes experimented with many new possibilities, such as cre- ating three by two foot posters from photographs. Suburban Photo once again spon- sored the Suburban Photo Contest, giving fifty dollars of merchandise to the winner, Craig Wagner. Field trips were popular. In the fall, photography students joined art students in a trip to the coast. In the spring they photographed the spectacular scenery at Silver Creek Falls.

15 enroll to publish ’75 Symposium; staff starts with new advisor, editor Starting the year with a new ad- viser and a new editor, the yearbook class managed to overcome some major obstacles in completing an- other annual. Meeting three times a week and functioning as a regular course, the staff of 15 was headed by Mrs. Jo Wollen in her first term of yearbook work. A few “old- timers,” including editor Wayne Taylor and last year’s adviser Mr. Maurice Reece, supplied expertise. The learning process, involving all aspects of the book, was held high on the list of goals and prior- ities. Many ready helpers outside the class included Mr. and Mrs. Bob Paffrath of the American Year- book Company and Mr. Stan Curtin of Lake Oswego Photographers. They made many trips to the school to speak to the staff and advise 28 Yearbook them on the structure and style of both layouts and copy. This was to supplement the introductory in- struction staff members received at a fall visit to Portland State Univer- sity for a yearbook seminar. Staff organization included editor Taylor, assistant editors Craig Wag- ner and Jay Crystal. Tom Ellis served as sports editor for first sem- ester, training Robert Louden and Jim Freeman to assume co-editor- ship of sports second semester.
