Kraig Knox stars in slide show — but it’s “JUST HIS JOB” Local student Kraig Knox got a taste of the not- so-glamorous world of pro- fessional modeling this winter when Taylor Pub- lishing Company shot “It’s My Job ... It’s What I Do’’ on campus and used Archer students as “actors.” Late hours and endless photo sessions faced Kraig who was chosen Skip, star of the project. Clad in tra- ditional trench coat and hat, he played a yearbook reporter who had a dead- line but no story. Selection of Archer High School as the setting of the show began early last year in a rather strange way. When Taylor’s marketing department began their project, they wanted the show set in an older and smaller school. Ben Gid- dings, director of the show and former Archer City High School graduate, sug- gested they ask to use Archer’s small school. Per- mission was granted and Taylor looked through last year’s yearbook to find stu- dents they thought looked like characters in the script. Kraig was chosen and Derek Patton was selected to play the other major part. Many students had bit parts and served as ex- tras. Each summer Taylor conducts yearbook work- shops for schools across the United States. At each seminar, a slide show is presented that has some- thing to do with putting a yearbook together. This year. Archer City students’ smiling faces will be the stars in their opening show. 40 opening ABOVE: Heath Neel, Jama Leamon, Melesha Eldridge, and Jenny Phillips try to figure out how to work the library VCR so they can watch the movie version of It's My Job . . . It's What I Do. They all wear the specially printed t- shirts the Taylor crew presented to students who were in or helped with the slide show.
