VERB UM Some of the most difficult work is done after school, as veterans of the VERBUM can tell you. The editors begin the year searching for new ideas, travelling from the U ofM to the Chicago NSPA convention. Between sightseeing, browsing and eating at the Italian Village, idea-sharing was done at workshops. That Thanksgiving weekend was the most hair-razoring experience of the year for Betty Tedesco, Debbie Veitch and Kathy Neaton. Then home for the brainstorming. Girls labored far into the night over style, theme, color and MacDonald,s. But as deadlines became pressing the staff familiarized itself with the fine art of the mosaic design, picas and something termed 'creative writing'. As the photographer searched for signs of school life, business staff hunted for prospective advertisers. Under the counsel of Miss 'R' and the leadership of Diane Elmquist, glimpses of organization were seen. Complete pages, depicting the last year for AMM girls, went off to the printer. Despite overwhelming odds, another yearbook appeared. A club, and a class for some, VERBUM took its toll in time. Yet basically, as every one knows, behind every great yearbook there's a dedicated staff. UPPER LEFT: Sunny Anderson takes a sec- ond look before drawing up her layout. vERBUMf47

MI TER isjirsl to cover H ill-M urra y merger As a senior social student so aptly put it, Anyone who can organize the MITER has got to be . . . fOr was that Mrs. Odean talking'?J With editor-in-chief, Celeste Lucking, staff heads and members skipping many a relaxing lunch, the 1970-71 school paper grew bigger in actual size and scope. The first news media in the area to formally announce the Hill-Murray merger, M ITER coverage included both schools much more than before Even the boys in Mrs. Odean's journalism class had practical experience occasionally helping with headlines and captions. In previous years the paper came out every six weeks but in a sensational year of deadlines conquered, MITER appeared once a month for the entire school. Then, with a colored masthead at Christmas and Halloween was there to be no fanfare for April Fool's Day? Would you believe baby pictures of the faculty appropriately captioned? These little extras were just added bonuses to a paper that's full of surprises!

CENTER: Mary Koller and Diane Meis con- centrate on the task of paste-ups. With a little fortitude they'll make it.

Hill and Murray merge talents in Thespiarzs To be or not to be... a Thespian. Ten future Broadway directors and Shakespearean actresses from Hill and Murray chose 'to be, members of the National Thespian Society. At the induction new members were presented with yellow roses and boutonnieres. Entertaining the entertainers were the golden voice of Pat Zilliox and the limber limbs of Sue Walerius. For their finale, the troupe presented You're a Good Man Charlie Brown for Neo-Renaissance Week. With one hundred hours of workin dramatics, anyone can get into the act! And that includes the girls from Drama Club too. Besides helping out with You're a Good Man Charlie Brown they decided to put on a play of their own, so they concentrated their efforts on scenes from Anne of a Thousand Days directed by Susan Borden. But it's not all 'play' and no work, for the Drama Clubs had a couple of bake sales to raise some money.
