YOU CALL THIS COPY? Sally Handyside hands out yearbook copy to be typed. EPIC CHANGES America has been a country characteristic of change, perhaps because of her constant association with dreams and their pursuit. This fulfillment resulted in transfor- mations brought on by progress, social mobility, and ever-expanding frontiers. The 1976 EPIC reflects these changes. They have been made with much forethought, and many tears, late nights, and personal sacrifices insured their execution. These late nights also included the problems of choosing an interesting theme and developing the layout design. These complicated designs needed to be drawn and redrawn in order to include each student pic- ture. The final steps were writing the headlines and the copy, which may have told the story, but also caused much brain racking. The 1976 staff, then, made modifications for fairer representa- tion. It is change for the better that constitutes progress, and reflects the bravado and creativity of a few. This creativity has provided us with the panorama of the America that we know today, and the one we will know tomorrow. 0 1r 21

SINCE DEADLINE IS TOMORROW. I’M GOING TO CUT! Jan Loreta realizes that the deadline is upon her. The newspaper staff was responsi- ble for the ten issues of the Fourth Estate. Publishing the newspaper was not an easy task. It required many talents, some of which includ- ed reporting, writing, and editing. The reporters dug into every aspect of a story, making sure everything had been covered in an acceptable and informative fashion. This was written into an interesting story con- sisting of good journalism. The editing came last as every story was reviewed for content and impor- tance. The editor’s job was one of extreme responsibility. Without the editor, publishing would be virtually impossible. The newspaper staff’s worst enemy was the deadline. The deadline was part of every newspaper and was responsible for keeping the news of the issue up to date. On layout night, the paper was in its final stages before printing. At that time the amorphous paper began to take shape. Alacrity to work existed among the staff as they knew the danger in loathing. After layout, the papers were sent to the printer where they roared off the presses to be distributed at school. NEWSPAPER EDITORS FRONT ROW: Photography. Mark Day; Exchange. Nancy Rich; Managing.
