There were about 13 students who partici- pated in the study hall and after school activity. Opera- tors began by making tapes for the coaches and worked up to a documentary video tape ofthe high school, to be shown to the incoming sophomores as a preview to the school. Another documentary was made ofthe MUN ac- tivities, a big project for the student operators. Thirty Speech ll students, under the direction of an- chorman, Craig Eastlund, taped Tiger Talk each Tuesday for a program played over KATE each Wednesday from 4: O5 p.m. to 4:15 p.m., a time donated by the radio station.

Many ofthe students interpreted it as meaning a system for the benefit of all citizens. A major innovation in the team's program was a form of debating called cross-examination. It involved direct questioning of the opposing team and switching sides from round to round. Of the six invitationals the team attended during the year, two were cross-examination, while three kept with the conventional form. The sixth invitational, Edina, in- volved debates of both forms. The Edina invitational was also unusual in that the teams were mixed so that stu- dents from different schools debated on the same team. The Big Nine Tournament and The Regional Tourna- ment were also conventional. EXPRESSING her point of view on compulsory service for all citizens, debator Arlene Kinn takes part in the Big Nine Contest. 186 - Organizations

Photography Club Cameramen Join Class, Attend State Convention In previous years the photography club took all pic- tures on their own time and without any credit. This year the senior photographers became part ofthe Journalism Il class and were given a grade for their work. This grade consisted of picture composition and contrast, along with the quality of their printing abilities. For the first time the photographers accompanied the journalism class to the day-long state high school press convention at the University of Minnesota. An academic action shot was awarded second place in the competition there. Jim Bruce, senior photographer, won two trophies in the photography show held at the Skyline Mall. The pic- tures were taken in the black and white category, with Jim taking first and a third place. The first prize picture was ofa church steeple on a black background, while the third prize was the solarization of boats. ON THE OTHER SIDE of the camera are Chuck Rugroden, Paul Sort- Iand, Jeff Piepho, Jim Bruce, and Rollin Hansen. 188 - Organization SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHERS Jim Bruce and Rollin Hansen work diligently on printing pictures for the school publications. -W .f h . .xl FRONT ROW: K.
