Last spring all students interested in the yearbook attended a series of training sessions where they learned and practiced page layout. By June Mr. Hammel had selected editor-in-chief Julie Clark and five section editors. Over the summer Julie went to an editor's workshop at Indiana University and planned the general order of the yearbook. Setting a precedent, the staff decided upon a daring, new style in which vertical columns were employed. In addition to this dramatic departure from last year's Wa-26 horizontal layout, the staff voted for a different treatment of senior pictures after con- siderable controversy. Rather than devoting a separate section to the graduating class, it was decided to arrange senior pictures throughout the book on the right hand column of each spread. Once school started in the fall, the staff began operations with the new blueprint. Julie assigned workers to section editors, who in turn delegated the specific areas of school life to be covered. The entire staff set to work selling advertisements to local merchants. In November the yearbook sales began. Staff members solicited in homerooms and also sold yearbooks to doctors and dentists of the community. All seniors received orders for the Piper as part of senior dues. As the year progressed, professional and school photographers took many pictures of Seaholm in action. Yearbook students carefully examined the red proofs and chose the most descriptive and representative shots. The staff then cropped the selected red proofs and fitted them into layouts. After proofs returned from the photographers as finished pictures, students pasted them down on the final page plans. Copy and cap- tions were written to tell the story the pictures did not. With Mr. Hammel's approval, the staff sent out finished pages to the printer in an effort to meet deadlines. In June the yearbook staff reaped their iust reward. The yearbooks came. Pipers were distributed in the library to some T800 expectant Seaholmites. While working on the Piper after school, staff members Marg Alic, Wendy Erb, Jeanne Chisnell, Gwen Henley, Kathy Clark, Karen Vannette, Lynn Skaistas, Diane Lewison, Jean Petit, Nancy Halmhuber, Anna HQ' ,..

Journalism, radio speech improve basic skills of interested students There is an enormous demand today for people with training in the various areas of journalism. Besides feature writers for news- papers this field includes newspaper reporters, executive positions on newspaper and magazine staffs, proof readers, authors, pho- tographers and advertising personnel. The journalism department at Seaholm helps to fill this need by developing an interest in journalism and by teaching the fundamentals of this profession. Students taking Journalism I and ll first learn the basic mechanics by studying text- books and national and local newspapers. The courses then includes actual work on Seaholm publications, such as the Highlander and the Piper. This type of work provides important experience. Radio speech was designed for those who wish to combine the training that was started in journalism and basic speech. Emphasis is placed on understanding of the complex electronic equipment which makes up a broadcasting studio. An assignment may be to perform a mock radio broadcast. This would include writing a script, perfecting the timing, and all the other duties that a professional radio speaker must perform.
