Roundtable, Troubador, And Accolade Publications Keep Students Informed This year Episcopal published its third edition of The Troubador. Editors and staff members worked hard all year reading and rating submitted manuscripts. Each piece of submitted work is assigned a number, so all work is anonymous to the staff. Each one is then read three times and given a rating by each reader. Work that consecutively receives high ratings is chosen for publication. Selected artwork from art students is also printed to correspond to some of the stories and poems. Sponsor, Mrs. Anne Weidig, editors and staff members have put out a publication that Episcopal can be proud of. For the first year, the Accolade staff was allotted a class period with academic credit, to work on the yearbook. In the Journalism course, students learned layout teachni-ques and how to write copy. The class time gave a better opportunity for the staff to learn what to do, as opposed to yearbook being an extra- curricular activity. Having daily time for yearbook was helpful to the staff because of the tremendous and time consuming work it takes to compose the final product. The staff attended a journalism workshop in the fall, and then set hard to work on the Accolade. Although it is a lot of work and can be frustrating at times, the finished book is a reward that makes it pay off. We greatly appreciate everyone's cooperation in assembling this book, and we are especially thankful to Mrs. Hamilton and Terry. The Round Table staff worked harder than ever this year to print an edition of the paper each quarter. Working on a very tight budget, much of the financing was dependent on the staff members selling ads. With meetings twice a week, a hard working editor, Joanna Sternberg, and sponsor Dr. Falzarano, the Round Table was truly a success. How does this year's staff compare to last year's? Says Joanna, We had a smaller staff this year, but it was a closer knit group of people, and therefore, I think the quality was better. As a member of the Roundtable staff, senioi Beth Weitz was requited to help piece it together, as well as write her infamous articles and editorials. Roundtable Troubador Accolade 23
