Student Publications Paper, scissors, paste, pictures, and mainly a lot of good ideas all combine to form a good yearbook. That's what the FOCUS staff learned as they put their heads and hands together for ten months of work on this year's edition. While the staff busied itself at a workshop at the school in August, the editors were away for an American Yearbook workshop at Culver Military academy. This planning and practical experience proved invaluable when work on the real thing got under way in September. After the summer workshops , the next big push that involved not only the staff, but most of the upperclassmen, was the ad campaign among area businesses. This was followed by a campaign among the entire student body who went to businessmen and professionals in their home towns seeking advertisers . After that, everyone settled into the job of writing copy, capturing events on film, and, for the editors, formulating layouts and designs . This year the staff proved to be an example of our central theme: the unity that emerges from a group of people from different backgrounds . TOP: Fr.

Q Sharing School Background It all began last August, during a week before school began. The staff for the DEACON DISPATCH met at Divine Heart for a week-long workshop on journalism. Everyone soon learned that the job of putting together the school newspaper was a demanding one. The hassles of news-gathering, the pressures of deadlines, and the work of writing and rewriting all faded in the background when the paper was finally put to bed, and the staff anxiously awaited a glimpse of the new issue. The DEACON DISPATCH, now completing two years in publication, was awarded a second place rating in Columbia University's Scholastic Press Association's annual national critique. Plans have been made for a larger paper next year, one that will feature the addition of several new columns, including one for reader feedback. Besides the work done on the DEACON DISPATCH, the staff was also busy writing for publication in the SOUTH BEND QINJ TRIBUNE'S weekly feature, The Next Generation Page. ,, .,,, W, I fb LEFT: Brian Orcutt edits copy for the DEACON DISPATCH
