Valhalla Staff Records Events, For the Valhalla Staff the week usually be- gan by planning the next issue of the newspa- per. Everyone was to search the campus thor- oughly for 5-10 ideas for potential stories. The next day the ideas were sorted out and dis- cussed by the entire class. It was then the responsibility of Editor Bri an Smith to assign stories. This was done on a volunteer basis. Whether on beginning or ad- vanced staff, often staff members were given only three to four days to do interviews and have stories completed, typed and turned in; however, before Mrs. Brown re-typed them they were carefully inspected by the advisor, who was Ms. Sweger. Before becoming editor, Brian Smith held the responsibility of writing editorials, feature stories and sports stories. He says being edi- tor provided an interesting Insight to the field of journalsim. This year ' s journalism staff covered a wide spectrum of school activities. Small projects, such as formulating symposiums, helped the Valhalla Staff further their skills in communi- cations. Working on rotating basis, the advanced staff took on the responsibility of being page editors. It was usually necessary for these assignments to be completed in one class period. This extra duty entailed choosing a fitting headline typestyle (in order for graphic arts to print them), arranging stories onto a layout board, after they were retyped, and designing both headlines and stories to coordi- nate neatly. Working on advanced staff were Maria Anonas, Ida Ashby, Charles Beck, Stel- la Cardenas, Anthony Gutierrez, Jerrie Han- son, Tonya Herrick, Darrin Hudson, Diana McKay, Samantha Rodriguez, Beverly Sand- ers, Brian Smith, David Williams, and Car- toonist Toby Taylor.
