Academics Mr. Tony Furse, yearbook adviser, points out to Sheryl Whittaker the place where she is to lay down her borders for the yearbook page.

We may prefer the excitement of a win- ning free throw or the fellowship of a German Club member. But in the end we’re really here to learn. Shaping the clay into the form of a head, Scott Strobl concentrates his interests on hol- lowing out the inside.

Journalism Attending a yearbook workshop at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Robin Buckbee finishes up a layout to her specifications. Buckbee served as the editor of the yearbook this year. (Photo by Dale Hogg) Staffs create changes The appearances of both the school newspaper and yearbook changed this year. The newspaper changed to a four-page newsprint tabloid format that was published once every two weeks. The tradition- al baby picture and senior spotlight section of the paper was dropped, stirring up controversy among seg- ments of the student body. An edito- rial policy statement by Editor Cur- tis Arbuckle, in the Dec. 17 issue, to- tally abolished the senior spotlight- baby picture concept for the year. This created concern among some students, who tossed shredded news- papers throughout the main hall during break and some who set the editions on fire in a hall trash can. The yearbook format was also al- tered, with many of the ideas result- ing from a yearbook workshop at Bethany College in Lindsborg during the summer. Editor Robin Buckbee brought home the idea of a trend to- wards a magazine format, larger pic- tures and less pictures on each dou- ble page spread. Fifteen members of the journalism department attended the Kansas Scholastic Press Association regional contest at Fort Hays State Universi- ty Feb. 18. There were four first places, including Sheryl Whittaker in newspaper editorial writing, Monte Miller in newspaper sports feature, Robin Buckbee in yearbook theme development, and Rita Robl in yearbook layout graphics and spe- cial effects. Second places included Andy Ernsting in newspaper sports feature and Rita Robl in yearbook theme development. Lorri DeWerff placed third in a special photography division. These seven winners qualified for the state contest at the University of Kansas in Lawrence April 3. Sheryl Whittaker repeated her performance in newspaper editorial writing by re- ceiving first place. Rita Robl placed third in yearbook theme develop- ment. Monte Miller types his copy for his yearbook pages in order to meet the deadline. (Photo by Kevin Hickel) 22
