3 UNDER THE DIRECTION of Darlene Dickinson, editor, and Miss Ro- enna Cohen, faculty advisor, this year's Apogee staff included juniors and seniors who worked hard to produce the year book. Apogee Rushes to Meet Deadlines Starting early in the year, editor Darlene Dickinson assigned staff members to the sections and set up the requirements for the all-important deadlines. Since almost the entire staff was new at the job of producing a yearbook, the first meetings were set aside for briefings. They soon learned what a hard job lay in store for them. With the increase of the Apogee staff and with the help of the faculty advisor, Miss Roenna Cohen, it was decided to try and outdo the first two volumes of the Apogee, although the previous year's books were used as guides. An added asset to the 1968 Apogee was the help of Markay Studio, who added many excellent and dif- ferent Dictures which emphasized the theme of this year's book, We Dare to Be Different.

N sgr- ln Nlay of 1966 the Echelon was awarded three hundred dollars for the entry of its January edition in a national contest on traffic safety. The contest was sponsored by Kemper Insurance Company of Chicago. Additional commendations on the edition were received from Don L. Smith, city traffic engineer, and Governor John A. Love. This year the Echelon continued its editorial policy of including articles about moral responsibility, world affairs, and problems encountered in flexible sched- uling. Emphasis was also placed on freedom of the press, since lVlr. Carl N. Clay, advisor for the Echelon staff, feels that students are capable and should have the right to publish a periodical that expresses an opin- ion in today's America. The Echelon was an instrument of controversy, provoking thought and debate. Published twice a month, the Echelon was under the direction of Kathy Gamble, editor-in-chief, Jim Drew and Cindy Sabo, news editors, Nlike DeLong and Jan Bolt, editorial co-editors, Becky Powell and Rosemary Felsburg, feature editors, and Rick Milner, Rich Wach- tendorf, and Kathy Carlos, sports editors. Other members of the staff included Carlene Hale, business manager, Larry Clayton, advertising, Jay Reed, art editor, Steve Killey, Dave Boucher, Ed Pompea, and Carey Watson, photographers, JoAnn Garcia, circula- tion manager and exchanges, lVlr. Carl N. Clay, advisor, and Nlr. F. Southern, photography advisor.
