CREATING---------- Photographers make statements Martin Ahrens LEADER BIG JOB. Art instructor, Ed Sturtz, sets up a place for art work done by Art 1 students for the Big Show in the gym. Allan Zuhars EACiLE CHECKING IT OUT. Looking at a newly developed roll of film, senior Carol Lathrop inspects the work of another student during photography class. According to photography teacher, Ed Sturtz, whose photography enrollment bounced up from other years, most studen- ts don't know anything about a camera when they stroll into his class. Before they leave, he teaches them how to use a camera, how to study the lighting, how to use the proper film, and most importantly, how to deal with composition. Sturtz said, I try to get the student to look at the subject matter in different angles, a variety of lighting situations so that their photograph will demand people to stop and look at it for a long time because it's making a good clear statement. Photographers need to be in- telligent and creative individuals. Sturtz said, Serious photography is a subject that challenges your ability to think and make decisions that will allow you to make a good strong photograph. You need to be a creative individual in order to solve these problems.” According to Sturtz a good photograph can be of interest to everybody. Heather Christiansen Martin Ahrens LEADER TAKE DOWN.

Mark Gould EHS Todav Honor roll requirements stiffened In an attempt to stiffen the academic requirements and reward students for special achievements, a faculty commit- tee initiated a new honor roll. “What we really wanted to ac- complish with the honor roll was to encourage kids who really have to work to make the honor roll and to distinguish ones with higher honors, said principal Don Caffee. Teacher Larry Vogt who served on the committee that came up with the new system stated his view. I think it's an improvement over the system that we had in the past because it doesn’t allow students to make the honor roll with D’s. Improvement or not, there were different opinions toward the honor roll. Sophomore Stephanie Westerman opposed the honor roll. I don’t like the new honor roll because I got some of the best grades I've ever gotten and I got on the lowest one.” Students now would have to spend more time studying for cer- tain classes to make the grade acceptable to them and to make the high honor roll. For this mat- ter, the system has proved to be beneficial. Sophomore Shane Tschopp agreed, In a way, I like it because it makes you work harder. However, junior Todd Fertig did not feel the same way. The people who care are going to get good grades anyway with or without the new system. Trina Kinsinger ACADEMIC DIVISION 17

Student teacher takes over During second semester, Ed Sturtz, art instruc- tor, and art students had a change of pace when student teacher, Vicki Folk, worked as teacher and gave assignments. A lot of kids in the art classes showed a lot of potential and seemed interested in what they were doing, said Sturtz. Sturtz emphasized the four disciplines of art: drawing, ceramics, print-making, and painting. Sturtz said, ‘Those are the things professional artists deal with. I feel art is an important thing in our everyday lives. I think if you can learn to ap- preciate good art you can understand the con- struction of nature.” H «h,rchri»i.n«n Allan Zuhars EAGLE SOLDERING.
