Precision and exactness was needed to com- plete a layout in minimum time. The Eagle Staff had to work fast to meet production deadlines. 50 News Writing Printing the newspaper had to be done cor- rectly. Printer Dallas Mayhan reviewed the instructions given by Editor Brian Warnick, and Janet Buckner. A lot of cooperation was needed to publish a newspaper so Brian Warnick, Konra Verley, and Craig Johnson worked together.

Film joined schools Year filled with firsts Working towards making the school better was the job for the stu- dent council. They had prepared even before school started, spending three days in the mountains with the Evanston student council. On this trip they learned how to make new and useful decisions for students and rules and regulations for the classes and clubs. Working to succeed was their motto, and they did it. The year started with a motivational film called Voices Next the council presented Lyman's first drive in movie shown outside on the wall of the school. The school's first birth- day party was greeted with party hats, balloons and a birthday cake. The year was full of firsts. The beach party was one of these. Stu- dents wore shorts, ate fruit, and danced to Beach Boys' music. A lim- bo contest was conducted with Chad Anderson and Traci Lane winning. Tammy Brentano said, It was fun. We all had a good time. lt wasn't just groups of people at a party, but the school was one big group having a good time together. They should carry on this party from now on. Another first was when Lyman in- vited Mountain View over to watch the motivational film The Prize? This not only helped to start friend- ships between the schools, but most of all, it created a bond that hadn't been there before. Judi Erickson noted, We should do more things together as schools. If we were better friends it would stop the bad feelings we have between our schools. President Misty Platts said, This year has been a terrific and very suc- cessful year. Everyone was so willing to do his job and whatever else he could to move ahead. We had a lot of big goals set at the beginning of the year. There were those we didn't come close to accomplishing, but there were those we accomplished and went even further with. We could have Qand should havej recog- nized more students. We had many successful student activities that were done as a group. We had a drive in movie, the first the school has ever had, Beach Party, Lip Sync, cans for the needy and a great home- coming week. Mostly we were suc- cessful in helping student leaders grow and learn but have fun while doing it! Evanston's and Lyman's student councils developed a good relation- ship. Lyman went to Evanston for the first student council exchange day. It was a better chance for big ideas and more learning. Jeff Schwab said, I thought it was neat because of Lyman's and Evanston's relationship and how they tried to improve feelings between Lyman and Mt. View. The climax of the council's many activities was WASC. The council was in Casper for three days to learn how student councils work and how to better the school. ...... ...I Junior Officers Junior class officers: Treasurer Jadelyn Johnson, Secretary Nancy Clark, President Patricia Atkinson, and Vice President Teresa Nelson.

At the convention Teresa Nelson placed first and Craig Johnson second in the newswriting competition, Janet Buckner placed second in sports writing, Editor Brian Warnick placed first in editing and Fritztffe- terson was third in photography. The Blue Eagle 's November cover design received a Commendation. After returning from the conven- tion the staff had new ideas and plans for the yearisenewspaper. They decided to changefthe format ofthe paper to a magazine style and change the publications name to Ea- gle. The newspaperls covers also had color added to ,them which made them more professional lookingjt The Eagle had a distribution of 300 copies and was published month- ly for the school year, except for one issue including November-De cember and no is-sue in February. lt is hard sometimes to getffthe staff motivated and to meet their deadlines because of extracurricular activities, said Warnick. Writing was easy for the staff although they made several rough drafts before re- ceiving approvallto hard copy fthe piece for layout. Layout was difficult and was handed back many times to correct both major and minor mis- takes. Layout is fun until it has to be torn up time after time, said Jeff Schwab. The classroom became hec- . t tic and sometimes the staff felt like l 7 throwing the whole thing in the bag, I but they stuck with it to the end. With cooperation and patience, the I staff put out the newspapers. My newswriting staff is self-efficient, rri'i . I hard-working, and intelligent. They t are all a pleasure to be associated with, said Advisor Reita Cox. The newspaper staff had one ma- jor drawback during the year.
