Paper Staff Releases Great Paper The ELK-O-GRAM, the school newspaper, began its work early in the year by printing a paper every month. Editor Kristi Lynn set-up assignments for ar- ticles and then the typists and stencilists went to wrrk to put together a stencil which was then run off, stapled together, and sold to E.H.S. students. The paper served many purposes throughout the year such as publishing a calendar of events, controversial items, and letters of complaint from concern- ed students. There was also a sports section with all of the details and a senior section which spotlighted the graduating class. Several members of the staff attended a Journalism Convention in Brookings where they attended workshops and classes on things like paper feature writing, editing, and headline ideas. Pat Janssen doubled her duties on the Paper and Annual Staff. She was one of many students who did this. She was activities editor for the annual and assistant editor for the paper. One of the many jobs involved in pro- ducing the ELK-O-GRAM is stenciling headlines and pictures. Lynn Kurtz is pictured using the Gestetner to produce one of the many issues of the paper. Barb Hinrichs was her assistant this year. »7

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.
