Hard copy. Ready for one of the editors to slash her copy, Junior Annette lsom prepares it for review. After putting on editorial marks, she tums it in to Co-editors I on Jensen and Spinner Jones. When she makes corrections they suggest, she tums it in to Advisor Relta Cox. This process continues until the copy is finally approved. Dual duty. A printer and a reporter, Senior Christy Youngberg puts in twice the service for newswriting. She wrote copy, skipped the layout stage, made PMT 's, stripped negatives and ran off 350 copies of Eagle magazine. Blurred. Frustrations and stress are two big problems for photographers. After selecting possible pictures from a contact sheet, photographers John Keller, Kelly Souther and Kelly Atkinson review the results of the prints.

'This was a leaming experience with the new computers, the editors being separated from the staff in class and the writers working for both yearbook and newswriting, said Coeditor Jon Jensen. Lyman High School purchased two Macintosh Plus com- puters with a lazer printer to better the quality of the jour- nalism production. Although the computers helped the professional appearance of the paper and yearbook, the dif- ficulty of the software forced the students and Instructors Cary and Relta Cox to take a longer time to learn the techniques. Business Instructor Beverly Adkins spent many hours helping students understand the programs and correlate the computer work. Newswriting involved students in two classes with Editor Spinner Jones in one class and Editor I on Jensen in the other. Students produced articles for both the news magazine and the yearbook the first semester. J oumalism students attended the state contest in the fall and placed first in the on-the-spot contests for the fourth year in a row. We took it seriously and we were pre- paredf noted Jensen. The news magazine placed first in Class ZA for the first time. I was very proudg it showed that our students were trained, said R. Cox. They should have taken the self- confidence and used it to continue producing quality work. I was very disap- pointed how the class turned out. Despite significant awards taken by the newswriting class, few students remained after the semester and few second-semester papers were produced. Because of the changes, it was a tougher class-you really had to have commitment, Jensen said. R. Cox said she was disap- pointed so many students checked out of the class. If the students would have stuck in the course and taken it seriously, she said, we could have kept a commend- able paper. We didn't promise anyone an easy course, but the students were not ready for the demands of a newswriting course. Too many students had-to spread their time over their many activities and that hindered the class' successes. We didn't accomplish what we should haveiggenysileieicks bumed out.
