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.

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.

Voices was the art and liter- ary magazine written by students, published for students. Voices was composed of short stories, poetry, and artwork such as drawings and paintings. Students were asked to submit their writings to Voices. The best writings 172 R were published within the 100 pages of the magazine. The staff worked well with the two advisors Mrs. Hritz and Mrs. Fredrickson. According to Mrs. Fredrickson Voices is the only pub- lication where MHS students can express their literary and artistic ability. The advi- sors only wished that more students would have taken advantage of the publication and worked on the staff or submitted their pieces.
