Mary Jo Nelson spent many dilligent hours working on the annual staff. She worked very hard taking pictures, developing negatives, making con- tacts, and developing pictures to the size we wanted. The Elkton Record provided the darkroom to make this possible. Most of the pictures in this annual were developed by Mary Jo. She is to be commended for a job well done.

Many Hours Sf)ent on Annual The Annual Staff began its work early in the year, with Mary Jo Nelson as- sistant editor and photographer snapping pictures of all the big events, of the organizational meetings. Editor Mary Hegerfeld and some members attended the South Dakota Journal- ism Convention in Brookings and learned more of picture taking, copywriting and headlines. They received the 1973 Elk which had been judged by the Jour- nalism people, and this gave ideas for this year's annual. The advertising staff sold the advertising to business places around the area; and this helps, along with subscriptions to support the publication. In February, the staff started to work on the pages, to be submitted to a publishing company. The work continued right down to the last week of school, when graduation pic- tures were taken and set up. 16 Activities editor. Peg Janssen, and sports editor, Charlie Smith, paste the pictures on the pages and draw outlines for copy and cutlines on their layouts.
