Mums were sold on Friday, this carrying out a tradition of long standing. The participation was outstanding and each day many people became involved. An assembly opened the week and during that time the Queen was duly elected. She and her Princesses wore their respective banners and corsages to show their elected positions.

DRAGON internal problems noted This year’s Dragon staff got off to a slow start but began to pick up a month before graduation. One problem that caused the slow start was the failure to sign a contract until after Thanksgiving. The previous year’s book received first class honors for the eighth consecutive year at the national level. Proof of this books’ popularity was shown at the annual party which drew some 300 kids all together. The ’75-76 book went all out with the bicentennial idea in color, copy and photographs. The idea of the “staffers” was to make the book as memorable for this bicentennial year as possible. “A heritage from the deed and dreams of yesterday,” the theme of this year’s 76 Dragon was chosen by the board of editors for the annual. Five people were chosen on the basis of responsibility, knowledge and determination to lead in production, planning and management. The most impressive part of the book was sent in by Christmas, which included sixteen pages of color. A chosen few of the full class attended the National Scholastic Press Convention in Portland. The weekend was spent in the Sheraton Hotel and many useful things were learned about yearbook and newspaper production. Major changes were made in staffing and editors positions at semester break. One change in the book organization was the breaking up and relocating of advertising at the end of each major section. $1,500 in ads and 580 books were sold to students and faculty and the group felt it fairly and responsibly presented the history of the school year. Cropping pictures for a layout demands attention and care as shown by Dolores Brunner. Spare time at the press convention is spent by Randy White who is examining one of the All-American books on display. Layout editor Kim Schmidt makes one of the seemingly endless number of changes on the ladder, as a staff meeting breaks up. A friendly and helpful Dragon staff student is Linda Douglas-
