First yearbook: A study in frustration Even though an original decision had been made not to pub Iish a yearbook the .first year of the college ' s existence, a staff was selected to begin planning for the first book. When, in late October, the original decision was reversed, the staff changed its plans and began work on a publication to record the story of the beginning of a college. Under the direction of managing editor Lee Barlow and copy editor Celeste Pros¬ ser, the book began to take shape, with the thought that it, like the student newspaper, would be printed in the school print shop. However, pressure on the shop for production of a catalogue as well as the normal printing load of necessary school materials forced a- nother change With an early April deadline facing them, the staff put together pictures and stories to commemorate the histor¬ ical first year of the Bissell Point campus. Other students aiding in the publication were Debby Schonhoff and Joan Ochs. (6) Art Editor Joan Ochs designs the first SPOKE cover.

INTERROBANG: The student’s own The INTERROBANG, student newspaper of BCCJC, began publication October 16, 1969. Following basically an eight-page format, the paper is published every two weeks, excepting vacations, on Thursdays. The newspaper, printed entirely on campus in the school print shop, attempts to provide the news of the col lege to the students and supporters of the school, as well as an assortment of editorials, col¬ umns, and features, including plentiful pictorial coverage of campus activities. Under the direction of the first managing editor, Sandra Lynn Corbitt, the INTERRO¬ BANG developed during the course of the year into an intregal part of college I i fe. The name, INTERROBANG, comes from a punctuation mark which is a combination of a question mark (interro) and an ex¬ clamation point ( bang in printer ' s jar¬ gon). It is meant to symbolize the news function of a newspaper through the ex¬ clamation point, and the questioning, in¬ vestigative function through the question mark.
