Is There Something Should Know? The Eisenhower Panther Press started off at a brisk march and ac- celerando-ed to furioso. Mrs. Woods, club advisor, called the first meeting and introduced a new song with the assistance of Susan Hanks, editor-in-chief. The staff re- leased the first copy of the Chatter Box , the monthly gossip column. After that, the issues were hum- ming off the presses with an issue every month. The Panther Press kept the student well informed. Being a member ofthe Panther Press required many hours of hard work and dedication. The members spent much of their free time writ- ing and preparing stories. Setting type and pasting up stories required an equal amount oftime. There was always the dread of not making the deadlines, the fear of losing a story, and the never-ending fear of some- thing getting lost in the mail. a f 7: - 1.

They held a dance in the Spring and for the staff itself, there was a go- ing away party at the end of the year. Being a member of the Pan- ther Press was a rewarding exper- ience for everyone involved. .ffz .MW 4 ,,,,,,,.,,,.. ., 5 11,1 N 4 4 , i .:., 25 .M . .I+ 3' v '. .' 1 We

Ho To Get Ahead in Many students from Eisenhower had a chance to be a part of a real business in junior Achievement. In one of sixteen companies spon- sored by Decatur businessmen, they were working together to ac- complish a common goal in the business world. The students involved enjoyed working, making new friends, and having fun. They were members of the Board of Directors, owned some company stock, and some even became company presidents Business or one of the company executives. Their incentive for working was re- ceiving a little money and the chance to become the company or achiever of the year. Candy Striping was for everyone. Not only girls but guys as well were in Candy Striping. Guys were called Knights. The colors were red and white, which begot the name Candy Stripers. Members had to be thir- teen before they could work at the hospitals. Both Candy Stripers and Knights worked as aides to the 6 nurses and staff on all floors. Some of the jobs were making beds, dis- tributing food trays to patients, washing beds, or just talking to pa- tients. There was never a dull mo- ment at the hospitals. Candy Strip- ers earned awards for working a certain amount of hours. If a member worked several years, he or she might have received a scholarship that could go toward any career. Candy Striping was a good ex- perience for everyone! , . . .-hI1i :skis 4534,-'Q ff V Q 'Ii is lf ' l 75 l -.3 .' . I 1 1' i I 'l . L-'Q 7 1.
