Through the eye Newspaper: ofa Su., an What is bright and comes out every three weeks? The Skyline Sun, of course. The Sun is published for the students and faculty so that they can be informed of events around school and in the community. I really enjoy working with people and meeting new people through interviews and selling advertisements. Newspaper is better than a normal writing class, since you can get experience that can benefit you after high school, Skyline staffer Junell Parker explained. Each staffer had to sell advertisements to pay the paper production costs so that the Sun readers do not have to reach in their pockets to read a copy. The Career Development Center KCDCJ, became a second home for the newspaper staff. CDC is where production is done, such as layout of the pages, writing of the headlines and so on. However, the time the staff spends on production is being reduced thanks to the computer-age. No longer is time spent waiting for the typist to finish type setting all of the stories. Now each staffer types his own story onto the computer at Skyline and the stories are transferred to CDC. The sunny sweaters, new to the staff this year, helped unite the group as they proudly handed out the paper. One who wore such a sweater was Aaron Christen- sen. He commented, Newspaper is rewarding because I became in closer contact with a bunch of people. I also learned a little bit about society. Twenty-five dedicated, hard working students helped make sure the sun will come out. But the sun would never shine without advisor Steve Owens, who contin- ued to help make the Sun the fine paper it+ is. Co-Editors this year were Kim Morrow and Dean Jones who were responsible for the finished product. Morrow remarked, Although it was tiring and frustrating at times, it was all worth it when I saw people reading the Skyline Sun. New Dean Jones, Tricia Green and Jason Bealmeat go over layouts for the Skyline Sun. iiifl I l Ei' ,gd I 2 130 Newspaper

X 8. 5 Yearbook: August 31: All is quiet on the yearbook front. The first day of school and the first day of class for 15 new staff members. The three returning seniors had the responsibili- ty of training these novices in the ways of an award winning yearbook. November 1: The first deadline is upon us. Among the pages due at the publishers were all sixteen pages of color, the entire sophomore section and fall sports. Frustra- tion and confusion reigns over the emotions of the new staffers as they face their first deadline. December 21: A deadline of dedication from the seniors. Many staffers spent long wearisome hours trying to complete the senior, junior and academic sections. Dianna Baur said, A lot of mistakes in the senior section meant I had to live on NO DOZ and stay up until 3:00 a.m. fixing those errors so that the pages could be in the mail the following day. Melody Guldin, photo editor, said, After smelling the chemicals in the darkroom for four hours straight, your mind starts to go! Many people don't realize how many hours are put into the production of their yearbook. g Through the eye of a Falcon editor April 6: Final deadline approaches for spring sports, The finishing touches are put on the layouts and copyfitting done. As the final layouts are boxed and leave the hands of the designer, deep sighs of relief are heard from the entire staff. Trina Steward, editor, said, lt's such a relief to hand the very last pages to the postman and know that there are no more deadlines to meet. l hope that when the student body has this book in their hands and see themselves and their friends, they will realize the work and care that has gone into it. And they will be getting another award winning book from an award winning staff! WINGSPREAD adviser, Michelle Small, said, I realized with pride that my goals of leading the staff to becoming accountable, resourceful, and responsible was a reality when finding themselves out of WHITEOUT correction fluid at 12:30 a.m. on deadline night, they thought to go to the police station for help. There they were given several bottles to enablethern to correct their final layouts in order to meet the next day's deadline. irfaflflr -M' Wendi Schwartz, Alicia Gaul. ,QQ E Top Row: Jeff Pike, Rachael Gimpel, Debbie Strauch, Barb Wleland, Dianna Baur, Karen WaddelL Laura Graham, Steve Kruise, Second Row: Tracey Greenwalt, Laura Smith, Jean Dose, Karl Haag, Mrs. Michelle Small, Carla Block, Matt Blando, photo editor Melody Guldin, editor Trina Steward.
