Year of Memories rfrw' -i- E a amass ami aa TRICIA FISHER IEUEL GILLAM Editor Business Manage-r Lest we forget our college experiences, the Mile- stone staff works every year to create an annual picture and story book of memories. The Milestone photographer, Mr. E. E. Ashcraft, is led on a merry whirl for several months every year as he takes pictures of buildings, of games, of favorite spots, of classes, of girls and especially of girls. The originality required in deciding the angle of a picture, the arrangement of people in a group shot and the time of day to take a more dramatic photograph provide 92 a challenge for many of the Milestone staff members. Others enjoy the creative writing opportunities of an annual. This field is wide and varied, for an annual in- cludes anything from the deeply touching type of writing needed in the yearbook's dedication to the hu- morous, joking cutline which will be just right to go under a photo in the snapshot section. Perhaps the greatest challenge, however, is in the area of descrip- tion, for our Milestone attempts to describe a year of life at Coker, the formal classes, the exciting dances, the competitive class tournaments, the relaxing after- noons of sunbathing or card playing. An annual cannot be published without an efiicienr and enthusiastic business staff. Salesmanship and that special quality of being able to make one's product ap- pear favorable to others is found in those on the Mile- stone advertising staff. Other student business-women enjoy the typing, copy writing and make-up of an an- nual. Theirs is the pleasure of taking a scramble of raw materials, namely pictures, drawings, articles, informa- tion of varied types and coming up with a finished product, a Milestone, a picture and story book of a year's 'events on a college campus in Hartsville which some 560 Cokernuts never want to forget.

NANCY PHILLIPS LELAND COTHRAN Erlitor Business Manager The PERISCOPE, Cokeris monthly newspaper, cov- ers everything from campus news to lively features. A member of the South Carolina Collegiate Press Asso- ciation, the Periscope carried a high rating with other college newspapers and has won several awards in the annual state competition. Under the helpful guidance of Dr. Charles A. Sisson, adviser, Nancy Phillips serves as editor of the student Extra publication and is assisted by Holly Sojourner. These three spend long hours planning what goes into the newspaper. News Editor Sally Stuckey looks out for the latest scoops while feature editor Julie Poole plans original features. The articles are then assigned to a stair' of talented reporters. Aletha Bond covers the sports beat from hockey to softball. Sally Gandy keeps Coker students in the know about what goes on at other colleges. Leland Cothran, business manager, pays the bills and balances the books. Angie Odom and her adver- tising staff have quite a task selling ads to merchants in Hartsville and surrounding areas. Wheii the galley sheets have been run off, copy editor Beth Humphries makes last minute corrections. Then the editors do headlining and make-up, and the paper goes to press at the Hartsville Messenger. Circulation manager Janice Johnson sees that the students, faculty members, and outside subscribers get their copy of the paper. The newspaper is out, and staff and students rightfully beam with pleasure at the Periscope, a paper to be proud of. Extra Seated: Phillips-editor. Standing: Stuckey, Dr. C. A.
