'Mrs spotlighting the classroom E --...... N... E gf? ,ami '-N' First it was just an idea, but grad- ually our yearbook began to take shape. We crystallized our theme, planned our layout, and selected our cover. Then the problems began to arise--pictures to be planned and ta- ken, copy to be Written, double- checked, and rewritteng prints to be selected and cropped, a dummy to be kept up to date, and--most impor- tant ot all-an early deadline to be met. Slowly we began to grasp the mag- nitude of our task. We were deter- mined that our yearbook should cover every phase of school life-the lun and the Work, the activities and the classes, the little incidents and major events, The l957 Staff is proud of its achievement and hopes that when you finish reading the last page, you will be, too. .4-rf N-J Advertising Editor Ber- nodine Worthington, As- sistant Editor Joyce Mel- vin, and Business Man- ager Lois Thompson con- fer with Sponsor Mrs. Armstrong and Editor Joyce Pershing on pre- liminary layout plans.

When questions like these were asked, one knew that there was a roving reporter for the Sparta Star in the crowd. But sometimes re- porters were not so obvious.

This popular column was not the only reason that B-PC students so eag- erly awaited each bifmonthly edition of the Sparta Star. News items, ex- change articles, and editorials were all products of a hard working staff, while box scores and complete sports write- ups made the paper a fine record of the results of our athletic competi- tion. Sue and Mrs. Mead have a laugh over an article in an ex- change paper. Coach Swanson gives tournament statistics and the Marlene Varner, Jane Pendarvis, Mary Frances Freburg, coach's viewpoint to sports reporters Jim Nicholas and and Caroline Serven test a news item for the Alex and Danny Combites.
