O R G A NT Z A T I O O S E The Yearbook and Journalism staffs do a lot of work to make our school a better and more informed place. This work is greatly appreciated by all of the students. write, right? The Newspaper and the Yearbook are the only two ma- jor publications in the school. The Newspaper and Yearbook staffs work very hard to pro- duce an interesting part of school life. This work pays off when these publications are read by the students. ■ Being a major publication is a very important thing, but even more important, we are the source for the students of Sher- man Oaks CES. We bring them information that they may not otherwise receive, said Karen Lee, Journalism. Pressure is another big part of being on the Yearbook or Journalism staff. Deadlines take many hours and a lot of work to complete. Deadlines are a busy time for everyone, but when the final product is shown, it is worth it. I feel very proud of the fact that 1 am part of this wonderful publication. 1 plan to join the Yearbook Staff again because the pressure of meeting a dead- line is tremendous and in a cer- tain way 1 thrive on that, said Steve Bao, Excalibur Yearbook Staff. The newspaper is a monthly publication to inform the stu- dents of what is going on in the school. Students find that this is very helpful and that it is a good way to have the information known. 1 think that the newspaper is very informative. I feel that it should be published more often. I especially like the articles that give the students opinions, said Christine Seino, ninth grade. The Yearbook and Newspa- per Staffs are also in many com- petitions. They have ranked very highly in the competitions. They are very proud of their ac- complishments and hope to do well in them again this year. Many believe that the year- book just magically appears at the end of the year. The simple truth is that the yearbook staff works very hard to create it, said Loyd Calomay, Yearbook Editor.
