e As any operation, the yearbook needed sponsors. On Thursday, August 28, the members embarked on a campaign to sell ads to prospective businesses throughout the surrounding area. With some training and encouragement, the staff hit the road, traveling to nearby towns and trying to sell ad space to businesses. They were successful, selling $3,690 worth of ads and contracting many new businesses to advertise in The Raider . On October 1, several members journeyed to Ames to attend a workshop presented by the Iowa High School Press Association. The day was made up of many mini-course like classes from which they concluded a lot of helpful hints. Friday, December 19, the yearbook sponsored a DJ style Christmas Dance. The dance was the first in a long time to be held in the lunchroom, and members worked quickly to decorate the lunchroom in festive colored streamers and pictures.

c One. Two. Three. Contact. The yearbook launched another active year. The work on making a yearbook began before the start of the school year. In early August. Pam Miller. Lori Salisbury, and Ann Brockman attended a yearly workshop held in Ames. Pam and Lori learned the tricks of being editors and Ann polished her photography ability. This year the yearbook took the look of a computer. The theme Facts and Statistics” spread throughout the plan of the book. Lois Oman drew the detailed picture of a computer on the cover to bring out the computer theme. Throughout the book the artwork on the division pages and the page titles expressed the theme of computers. The beginning of school started the recruitment and training of members. Fifteen students joined the staff, signing up for different areas such as: theme, copy, photography, layout, polls, and or developing pictures. Mrs. Schmidt taught the eight photographers the operation of a Nikon 35mm camera, and darkroom techniques involving the developing and printing of pictures. 26

The new year brought more things to do! The yearbook staff prepared for the annual yearbook sales campaign with a couple new twists. People ordering during the first week of the sales registered for a chance to win a Ford Mustang car for themselves and the school. Also during that week, the staff hid numbered stickers with different colors for each day on the junior and high school floors. The person who found the lucky sticker for the day won a free yearbook or refund if they had already ordered and paid for a yearbook. Four yearbooks were given away during that week, by April 1, 210 yearbooks had been ordered. Only when you are a member of the staff do you realize the hours put into the planning, picture taking, developing, printing, fitting copy, typing and retyping, and finally proofreading the finished product. In order to accomplish all of the above, seventh hours, extra hours after school and Saturdays had to be spent in the business room to meet deadlines. The last task to be accomplished was to drive to UPS and ship the pages off to Taylor Publising Co. in Dallas, Texas. The greatest feeling, of course, was in May when the last shipment was shipped; only to be matched in August when the books arrived at the school, and the staff viewed their finished product. a.
