Photographers and Typists form the backbone Sophmore Cindy Johnson was really a help to the journalism department as she worked as a composer operator. Two areas in the Northrop publications program are teh composer operaters and photographers. These areas didn ' t exist in igram in the state until a few years ago and they are now on an upswing. Composer operaters are typist who are taught to use a special IBM computer type writer and they actually set copy that will appear in the What ' s Bruin newspaper or in the Bear Tracks yearbook. Jobs for composer operaters are rela- tively new in business, but more and more offices are installing them. Photograph} ' is still in the growing stages at Northrop but is gaining in popularity. There is no class, so the people interested have to learn on their own time, either after school of during a study hall. There were over twenty people in the photograph} ' program this year with the majority of them taking pictures for the yearbook and newspaper. Seniors on the photo staff included Tom Black. Dan Turner, Larry Edmundson, Chervl Skinner, and Bob Pea. enioi vas a important part of the journalism depart • a composer operato r. Judy is shown typing copy for the year hook. 1 JH
