In order to make an annual, a staff member must know how to crop pictures, write in- teresting body copy, and have a general idea of journalism terms, such as four- color processing, overburn. and type size. as well as being dedicated to the staff. These students learned their techniques and terminology by attending a summer camp at Sam Houston State University, which was presented by Taylor Publishing Company. Not only did the staff design a ' Billy Baseball award- winning table decoration, but they worked tor a week lo design a miniature copy of the ' 85 yearbook Many members worked until the early hours of the morning, attending to small details The work paid off. however, when the staff won one of five outstanding posi- tions out of 48 schools.

They write about a variety of aspects, such as fashion, school policies, and music reviews. The students receive information on these issues in each month ' s paper.
