Acknowledgements Changes Format Acknowledgments, an aspect of the Excalibur advertising department, had a new format this year. The price of the acknowledgment was increasedg however, this year's contributors were also given an annual for their offices or waiting rooms. Many Businesses Contribute To 1975 Excalibur Thanks To Ads 1975 Yearbook Shows Improvement Although selling ads often became a chore for students on the Excalibur Staff, it was an important aspect of the annual. Money raised from selling advertisements helped the staff create a more impressive yearbook. More color pages and a section of stock paper were just a few of the improvements financed by advertisements. Much of the photography equipment and special effect pictures were also paid for with the money received from advertisements. These extras were important, not only in creating an interesting annual, but also in keeping annual sales at a high rate. However, all these expenses are in addition to the total mst of printing the yearbook. All these costs totaled meant a price that would be much higher than that of the Excalibur. Advertising in the Excalibur made the publication of the annual possible at a reasonable rate for the students. Advertising Essential To Annual Publication Because advertising was such an important aspect of publishing the Excalibur, much time was devoted to this department. The two business managers, Tara Kryzwicki and Karen Tomoi, were kept especially busy all year keeping up with the books. Students began selling ads in April of the previous school year and worked through the summer into December of this school year. However, advertising worries continued into 1975 with section deadlines and collection of payments. Here the new phone in the annual room proved an asset contacting businesses. Finally, at the end of the school year when advertising had been long forgotten, came the problem of distributing yearbooks to those who had purchased achknowledgments. All in all, it wasfa very busy year for the Excalibur business staf .
