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.

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.

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.

Yearbook was a challenge LHS history was recorded. Yearbook placed first in the IIA division for the second year in a row, but the afternoon before the awards banquet, gloom spread throughout the staff attending the journalism convention. Editor Michele Johnson, Assistant Editor Geraldine Schell and Advisor Cary Cox had spent an hour with the judge Dennis Doyle who ripped the book apart. Later on after the banquet, Doyle said, I couldn't let on you had won. Not only did the staff take state with the yearbook, they, with the journalism staff, placed first in the On-the-Spot Sweepstakes at the con- vention. Angela Doty placed third overall in layout. Cox noted, This year's staff has been the strongest staff I've had since I started teaching at Lyman High School? As the staff set forth to try to top last year's book, there was much en- thusiasm and new outlooks. With the theme, You Made The Difference, the staff began recognizing people throughout the year. The staff tried to show appreciation to all who had shone at Lyman High by leaving messages in lockers, as well as fea- turing them in the book. The management for the yearbook changed. Instead of one person doing Eagle Flight Staff The Eagle Flight staff pictured front row: Advisor Cary Cox, Emma Sather, Geraldine Schell, Susan Apgood, Adesa Cagle, Leza Chapman, back row: Michele Johnson, Angela Doty, J ulee Lee, and Me- lani Jensen - the staff that strived for excellence. 52 Yearbook a full layout, the staff was divided into copy and layout departments. This helped in keeping up on dead- lines. Some nights they worked four hours after school on the book. The staff did not want to repeat the scene of the year before when the staff worked late hours into the night completing layouts and copy sheets for two weeks into the summer. All of this time was on their own and was hard work. Even though it was te- dious the book was completed, in- dexed, and sent in. This year's staff is organized and able to accomplish more, said Editor Michele Johnson. She added, I know that we will do well with this yearls book, we settled for nothing but perfection. That is how we have done so well in the past two years. Schell said, Yearbook is a hard class. There are a lot of pressures to get things done before deadlines. We worked harder this year than last in our class time and there was never a dull moment. Leza Chapman said, Yearbook has been a challenge worth working towards! As long as there is a staff willing to work, Lyman High School can be proud of its yearbook and the time that was put into it. 4 -.t .... . I ,M
