{ Staff Works Hard Nuntius: Nonstop Job “What do you mean the camera is broken? How do I meet the deadline?” “How wide is a four-column layout?” “What screen should I use for this page?” Many questions and problems arose putting together the NUNTIUS, but thanks to a lot of hard work by twenty staff members the book fell into place. Putting together the yearbook was a long term job. Early in the summer staff members were assigned to sections, given advertis- ing sales assignments, and attended a workshop. When school started there came the tedious work of learning terms and techniques as work on the book itself began. Next came the “beats.” Staff members visited teachers during home- room to find out about upcoming events in their classes. Yearbook week rolled around the first week in October and students enjoyed staff sponsored activities: the Powder Puff foot- ball game between junior and senior girls, Tacky Day, a Hairy Legs contest among men teachers, and finally the yearbook as- sembly. But work didn’t stop with the sales campaign or the final March deadline. There were still the spring sports and end-of- school activities. The Nuntius was a year-long job which required work and cooperation from all involved. Senior Nancy McIntyre holds off the junior defense in the Powder Puff foot- ball game. The juniors and seniors fought to a 0-0 tie. The crowd goes wild as Mr. Fielder shows off in the hairy legs contest. He came in fourth in the contest, and we can see why here! 8 Nuntius

Victory Lifts Spirits Two days of excitement, col- or, new traditions, and a victo- rious game for the Colonels marked Homecoming. All this took place during dreary weather, but it did not dampen Homecoming spirits. The cheerleaders put forth a super effort, and behind Miss Rhonda Robinson’s guidance the Homecoming Dance was a night that students would re- member. The crowning of Queen Ju- dith Walker and King Joe An- drews added a highpoint to the landslide victory of the Colo- nels over Jefferson Forest. At Obviously enjoying the sounds of “Diamond D” and the flashy decora- tions of the dance are the students and their dates. 10 Homecoming the traditional crowning cere- mony a new touch was added when the attendants were es- corted by their fathers. When the music. started playing Saturday night every- one there knew the dance would be a night to remember. The theme ‘‘Wandering Stranger” was enhanced by sil- ver, white, pink, and blue streamers with stars and clouds to give a heavenly effect on the dance. Diamond D played pop- ular hits that kept everyone on the floor. As the dance ended only memories of the excite- ment lingered with flowers, napkins, and photographs. Following tradition and taking the ceremonial kiss are King Joe Andrews and Queen Judith Walker.
