And we wanted a theme that we could use through- out the book. Randy and Wendy Donnell were co-editors after at- tending a yearbook camp in Rockford ll. to gain more editorial experience. The staff consisted of only eleven mem- bers, which for such a large publication, was a very small number. Staff members met in the fall to create and establish a theme, and worked hard throughout the 170 ' Il . ,I gi 'B . . 1 Eighitfiti. :Sta ' maze-,aff E22 W 1 M N, . ,,,,,,...f-WW ff ' school year and attended a seminar at the University of Wisconsin in White Water. The staff even met during summer vaca- tion to finish last minute details. The staff entered the 1983 yearbook in competition for the first time. The book received a second class rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and a third place rating from the Kettle Moraine Press Association. Although the staff was behind in lay- outs, they showed lots of enthusiasm and creativity. We had fun together, said yearbook adviser Mrs. Beth Fredrickson.

Nik ith only six people to put out a six-page newspaper every other week, life was not easy. Though there didn't seem to be much time to rest, the Mustang staff managed to find time to take a field trip to Whitewater Wisconsin. They went to learn more about journalism and the newspaper business. They were honored to receive a second place award for the Mustang. Beth Fredrickson, Mustang adviser said, We had a small staff which made life difficult, but the kids came up with some really great ideas for the paper. One of the main changes in the newspa- per was to try and get the student body involved. Among some of the attention- getters were the Trivia Tease and the Eye-Boggler contests. . mustang life was busy for staff Top: Stacy Brandenburg Iistcns as editor Pam Mclhcim makes assignments for the next issue.
