the year in review fcontinued from page 25 J lthough the gas crunch stifled several, it could not dampen the spirit of the cheerleaders and other auxiliary groups that attended summer camps. North Texas State University was the host of the varsity cheerleaders. While there, they learned new yells and fund raising projects that raised school spirit as well. A little closer to home, East Texas State University in Commerce, Texas, was the designated place for band camps. Attending these camps were the flag, drum, and rifle corps. Due to the College's nearness to the city, several students commuted back and forth each day, however, it took a very responsible person to get up an extra hour to allot for the time it took for the drive. This year's camp provided a little something extra for each group. An individual instructor and classes for each instrument and rifle and flag corps members. The instructors were members ofthe college 26 Sllmmel' Gas tanks lost gas but pools gained people corps, which benefitted them just as much as it did the high school students.

Junior Walter Brown received an award tor outstanding layout design on the last day of the convention. It was the top design of 200 students attending from 3 states. An updated style was one ofthe new concepts discussed while there. A new type of photographer's workshop was introduced which proved to be beneficial for all those who participated in it. Along with the Norman workshop, a select group of photographers flew to Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana for an advanced photography workshop where junior Bill LaRue claimed an 8th place standing for a photograph entered amongst 250 others from seven different states. Some of the instructors were foremost leaders in the journalism field. Summer was unusually hot and dry, more than those of the past. The extreme hot weather caused a student rush to the area pools. Everyone was taking a cool dip somewhere, some people even made the supreme sacrifice of purchasing their own pool. Dances held at the Elk's Lodge proved popular as students danced their summer away on Wednesday nights throughout vacation. fconfinued on page 282 Making an effort to get to his class on time, Walter Brown runs through the rain at the journalism workshop in Norman, Oklahoma at Oklahoma Uni- versity.

the year in Cconfinued from page 26j he annual Red Ftiver Valley Exposition, otherwise known as the fair, was a welcomed event for many teenagers as well as adults and small children. The naming of the new school officials also highlighted the summer. Mr. Jerry Stephens was appointed as principal and Mr. Loren Stephens took over the job of vice- principal. In the administration, Mr. Felix Hoot Gibson was named superintendent. He took over after the resignation of Mr. Drennon Daves. Former Paris High principal, J. C. Coker became the Assistant Superintendent of Business Affairs. The fact that Skylab was scheduled to fall did not bother the students near as much as the drop in the employment rates for student summer jobs. This caused the already elongated vacation to creep by even slower for the jobless student.
