'I 'lr' '? .Mala L., . Qms Improving Their Image 'The overall prestige of the E parral increased 100 per cent year, said Ann Brannen, lication's adviser. She at- uted this success to good ership and the switching to a ll format. rannen said that she felt the ll format made it more popular ng the students. It was just right size to fit in the studen- notebooks, and it was a lot erto read. Kim Hulsey, editor, did an excellent job. Although we had only 13 students on staff, everyone worked together to produce the paper, Brannen commented. Getting along as friends both in and out of the journalism room was one thing Hulsey felt helped in the overall production of the paper. We were all close enough that we could criticize constructively and no feelings were hurt. We even spent some of our weekends together at the beach and going to the movies. Penny Backer, junior, joined the staff just before mid-term when she moved here from illinois. She fit right in with the rest of us, Hulsey commented. The staff was involved in many things besides just the monthly production of the paper. Ten of the staffers attended the Inter- scholastic League Press Con- ference in Austin on March 19- 20. Hulsey, Becker, Christine Genoa, senior, Diane Bynes, junior, Kevin Lewis, junior, and Sean Horrigan, sophomore also attended the annual UIL literary meet at Galena Park on March 27, Becker placed first in feature writing and Bynes placed third. Lewis placed second in editorial writing. This made them eligible to compete in the regional com- petition at San Jacinto College. Chaparral Chaparral 159

Trying Our Best This year's staff was one of the largest ever, but only because we needed the extra people to finish the book. When we paste it up ourselves we need all the help we can get, explained Ann Brannen, year- book sponsor. For the most part, the staff began in a productive way. Thev worked very hard for the first part of the year and met the first deadline which had not been met in several years. With only two photographers, and one not being in yearbook class, we had kind of a hard time getting the pictures we needed when we H., -., , .J . .

Sometimes l won- dered how everything would get done, but we managed. This yearbook was the last book to contain so many color pages due to the increase in production costs for film and printing in the factory. Taylor Publishing company printed the book which reflected many hours of hard work. Brannen said that her favorite thing about the book was the color tip-in of pictures that honored the many sports teams that went to district play. My 2 pride and joy of this yearbook was the excellent photography that we had on the division and sports pages. I also think that layout and design was at its peak this year, added Bashara. Sheryl was very creative and well organized. She was ex- cellent in being able to work with the typesetter to get unique designs and effects. I got Sheryl into my program when she was a sophomore to be strictly a typesetter, but she was so good she quickly learned everything about yearbooks. She had all the qualities needed for an excellent yearbook editor. Nu.
