The 1988-89 Journalism class has been very busy this year, covering everything from the Lin- den bridge ordeal, to the hockey team winning the Metro League championship. Students this year participated in a special pro- gram sponsored by the Tri-County News. The paper was written and edited by the students for one day, giving them the chance to see how a journalist works. Things like that make all the difference in making the class interesting and successful, stat- ed Senior Michele Aiken. The class also published their monthly school newspaper. The Eagle ' s Eye, throughout the year and included surveys, movie reviews, and sports. Junior Kris Sanchez summed up the work of the Journalism class this year by saying, They are really beginning to produce a great school newspaper that includes things students want to read.

5t The Yearbook Staff made a goal early on to produce one of the best books in Linden ' s history. In order to make this happen, they felt they had to bring back color to the book and add 16 pages. They also chose a festive theme which is strongly reflected in the introduction and on the cover. It is carried out subtly throughout the book with some artwork and neatly done graphic design. With these goals, the class had to get more aggressive this year and raise considerably more money through their advertising. Also, the cost of the yearbook was increased to reflect rising pro- duction costs and the addition of color and more pages. As usual it was easier to set the goals than to make them actualize. The Staff found out that taking the pictures and doing all the developing work in their own darkroom was an extremely large task by itself. Add to that, the preparation of the copy and the layouts and they soon found out that 16 people had to work very hard to produce a respectable yearbook. In general, the staff feels good about this book. We feel we have raised the picture quality of this year ' s book and we did some nice things with the graphic design, stated Yearbook Staff advisor, Mr. Raymond. Yearbook staff includes: Trisha Aldrich, Bryan Bale, Laura Bennett, Karen Easton, Rob Farmer, Heather Foren, Andrea Harwood, Rob Hughes, Brittany Kourt, Jeff Leek, Jennifer Mulford, Lori Puckett, Tracey Reeves, Kris Sanchez, Matt Sanders, Steve Sluyter, Jaimi Smaka, Sandi Swink, and Maria Woodbury.

■ r Linden High School students are getting a head start on their lives and careers, thanks to vocational programs of- fered throughout the year. These programs enable students to acquire abilities generally not taught in school. Classes such as Auto Shop, Clerical Block, Small Engines, Welding, Auto Body, Nursing, and Marketing help the stu- dents learn job-related skills to help them in their futures. The students are also able to participate in the Genesee Area Skill Center to learn other areas of skill not taught by the district. As a Junior, they gain job skills, and then as a Senior, they can use the skills they ' ve learned and get paid for it in a co- op job. Vocational students are also able to participate in clubs and or competitions related to their area of study. ITC was involved with Auto Club and racing; they came in third at Martin Dragways; then they had both a first and third place finish at Milan Dragway.
