Wamego High School - Wa Kaw Yearbook (Wamego, KS)

Page 29 text:

The Yearbook class, taught and sponsored by Mrs. Judy Rush, has faced many challenges this year. The staff had very little experience, so much of the first nine weeks was spent learning to write good copy, design attractive lay-outs, and apply journalistic terms. As the year progressed, skills were developed and confidence grew. It was a growing experience for all, in many ways. Not only did staff members learn how to apply the basic rules of journalism and meet deadlines; they also learned the importance of understanding the views of others and working together to make a project a success. 25

Wa-Kaller Experiences Alterations KSSS W V-K I'l'limi I - - « o'»’ Under the direction of a new teacher, Mrs. Barbara Fanshier, the newspaper staff produced a publication, the Wa-Kaller, which was distributed regularly to the entire student body. The Wa-Kaller underwent typing, printing, and layout changes, which improved the readability of the student paper. Many of Mrs. Fanshier's newspaper and Journalism I students attended a journalism conference at Kansas State University in September. After the conference they were treated with tickets to the afternoon K.S.U. football game. The newspaper staff also toured the Wamcgo Times office to sec how a larger publication is produced. “The students' work this year is improving and growing. They are proud of the publication they are producing, commented Mrs. Fanshier. 1. The pride of the newspaper staff: editions of the Wa-Kaller. 2. Mrs. Fanshier.
