ln 1976 women took on jobs of authority and responsibility everywhere in the world. The staff of the Del Campo Roar was no different: five of the eight editorial positions were held by female staff members. Debra Johnson lthe first black female editor of the Floar l taught Inez Peper's journalism class about the Black Press. Debra researched the Black Press through indepth independent studies, and she enjoyed sharing what she had learned with the other journalism students. Ms. Johnson also found the time to teach the after-school newspaper club at Thomas Kelly Elementary School. Inflatlon made one slight difference in the Roar this year-a smaller size paper was used in publication. Working on the newspaper staff involved knowledge in many areas: typing, writing, interviewing, photography, pasting and selling ads. lnez Peper's journalism class was the largest ever this year, it was filled with interested, expectant and enthusiastic journalism students, although she could not account for the new interest in journalism.

Most people don't realize the work involved in the publication of a yearbook. The making of a yearbook is a big responsibility and no simple task: it requires dedication, stimulation, patience, pictures. scissors, and rubber cement. The Decamhian staff is the only yearbook staff in the district that does it's own paste- ups. lA paste-up is the actual placing of sized pictures on a page, rather than letting the plant increase or decrease the pictures.l During fifth period in rooms 9 and 10A life was Never Dull or Quiet Typewriters clicked, tempers rose, jokes were shared, and birthdays celebrated. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into this yearbook. The editors and the senior section spent many summer hours scheduling times and writing letters so that members of the senior class could have their graduation pictures taken. Working late and on weekends to finish pages for pressured deadlines was not uncommon. The staff also enjoyed some fun activities, including a New Year's party, a soft ball game and a pot luck dinner with the newspaper staff. The '75-'76 Decamhian is a history in pictures: its pages hold memories to be treasured for a lifetime. is is N 58
