C0dy's unique Dime-a-Time plan required the consolidated efforts of both the COMET Business Staff and the yearbook representatives. Together they made it possible for every student to own a bigger and better COMET at a low cost. By having each representative handle approximately thirty subscribers' accounts, the Business Manager could better take care of three thousand. These business associates found it necessary to frequently work in close co-ordination, checking and double-checking records for accurate accounting. The dimes collected and deposited at the beginning of the year helped pay for the printed pages which made up the 1960 COMET in June. Distribution of the yearbook finally takes place in June. Almost 3000 copies arrived from the bmdery to disperse to eager record room sub- scribers last year. -. 'CT Yearbook Sales Representatives often were called in by Alan Cisek, Business Manager, to correct discrepancies in their record room accounts and to verify sub- scrrptlon payments. Sixty-nine

New production staff changes newspaper format Page copy and advertising inserts had to be arranged in the most effective way by Star staff members to create stimulating page balance. Star staff members work on the final and most gratifying step of newspaper production-final paste-up, under the supervision of Miss McMullen. A new adviser and a larger stat? inspired with many new ideas made Cody STAR headlines this year. The front page story told of new traditions and revised policies that made the STAR truly the voice of over three thousand Cody students. Eight big pages of standard size newsprint provided the layout for an informal and more thorough approach to school life and student activities. STAR stajers presented faculty press conferences, interviews with Cody sport's celebrities and up to date club activities as regular feature stories. The student body contributed to a wider range of coverage, too. Letters to the Editor, poems, and original pieces for the literary and science supplements gave Codyites a direct representation in the paper. Both stag and subscribers agreed that the Cody STAR's new format was a large step to a more complete coverage of student life at Cody. Every month Star staff members distribute over three thousand live hundred copies of the school's paper to individual subscribers in English classes. -3?Q?rP5'wW5m5iif5Y5fl1i'P ?fi-eflffuit - 'A 'i V 4'
