Annual Staff STANDING: Left To Right, D. Charles Pinkerton, Advisor; Don McConnell, Assistant Editor; SEATED: John H. Owens, Business Manager; Gail Landess, Editor. The annual staff chosen last fall was very unaware of the work we were in for. We had annual orders available at the Harvest Festival and the F.H. A. Variety Show. The class sold advertisements in September and subscriptions in February and March. We began by taking individual pictures last fall, planning the layout for the pages, having group pictures of the organizations and pictures of the various activities. After the pictures were returned to us we began the actual gluing in of the pictures and the final work toward sending the pages to the company for printing. It has been a lot of work, but it was worth it. The purpose of our student newspaper is to give a first hand account of all student activities that take place throughout the school year. The news is written by the reporters of the classes and organizations and turn- ed in to the editor, Judy Johnson. The paper is then edited. Sometimes it is printed outside the school, but most of the time it is printed by the staff who write the news and sold to the students for 5(5. All the students look forward to each paper. The paper is published once a month. Our school paper is one of the best in the county for which the staff is to be con- gratulated.

We sold Party Treat and held a book stand, where people went in to identify book titles, at the Harvest Festival. Mrs. Lewis ordered some new books for the library, which everyone enjoyed. The Librarians have held meetings during the year to help organize the library. The club voted to join the Regional Li- brary Club. They attended a Potluck supper for all regional members. The National Honor Society is a group of students who are selected by the faculty on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. In May, the members voted to change the scholastic requirements to 5.0 for sophomores, 4.Of for juniors, and 4.0 for seniors. This year we began a project of pre- senting scholastic awards to the top ranking freshman boy and girl. New members this year are Kay Daniel, Margie Blackorby, Melva Willard, and John Owens. STANDING: Mrs. Meisenbach, Janet Heavner, Donald Butler, Barbara Stephenson, and Mr. Pinkerton. SEATED: Carol Stephenson, Diana McBrian, Dixie Smith, and Jeannie Batley. Honor Society
