A school day had ended. All halls were devoid of students, and it was long past five o'clock. Yet, even at the late hour life was apparent, lights and muffled noise marked the presence of students in the journalism room. The yearbook and newspaper staffs were once again working after school trying to meet a deadline. Newspaper staff had problems even at the very beginning of school as the compuwriter, the machine that sets type, broke down. As a result the staff typed the copy and substituted a small- er size paper. Even after normalcy had returned, the small size paper was used, this time for a sports edition that was published inbetween the larger papers. Jim Hunt, sports reporter said, The supplement kept our sports stories more up to date. Yearbook, too, had its share of prob- lems. Inflation and high printing costs brought the price of the book to a re- cord high of nine dollars which was upped in October to 59.50. To offset any lost sales, the higher price created, the yearbook staff used a new l'm impressed with the year- book selling campaign. Posters with hand and foot prints were taped on walls, over water fountains, and even on trees, to entice students to buy a yearbook. Then, after a student bought a book, he was given a l'm im- pressed t-shirt iron-on. To better their skills the yearbook staff also went to workshops held dur- ing the summer, during school and on weekends. The yearbook workshops were very interesting, although we had a lot of fun, Tammie McGehee, junior, said. But yearbooks and newspapers do not live on the printed word alone, pic- tures had to be printed to help the reader visualize events. Photogra- phers, with cameras slung around their necks could be seen at all school func- tions. Despite the fact that work came in large amounts, I found photog- raphy was the best class for learning and experience that l have, Dave Wil- liams, head photographer, said.

Play conjures up ghosts een any ghosts lately? That is just what those who went to the first all-school play of the season did see as the drama department pre- sented Blithe Spirit. The ghost, in this case, was Elvira Uulie Rennerj who was called back from the dead by her husband, Charles CScott Peggy. Finding herself back in the world of the living, she managed to create havoc for Charles and his sec- ond wife, Ruth CGina Webbj. The fun- loving Elvira also managed to mystify their friends, Dr. and Mrs. Bradmen CRichard Reed and Karla Reischb, and Madam Arcati CLisa Lackj, the medium who conjured Elvira up. Responses to the show were widely 1 2 1!Cast and crew of Blithe Spirit : Back Row - Jim Bonnell, Steen 3 Reichmann, Randy Thomasson, Carol Schneiter, Chris Schauf, Lisa Lack.

Some comments made con- cerning the length of the play seemed contradictory. l thought that the last acts seemed longer because of the lengthy dialogue, said Sally Konkel, ju- nior. But Jim Wheeler thought it was too short. lt just went too fast, he explained. Stage manager Jim Bonnell stated, The crowd did not react as well as the play was presented. It took hard work to present Blithe Spirit but the seeming realistic illusion produced was almost enough to put serious wonderment in the minds of many. After viewing the production of Blithe Spirit, who knows, maybe there are such things as ghosts.
