Publications record school year With the name-change of the yearbook from Lancer to Excalibur,and a thorough renovation of the reporting techniques on the Lance, both student publications forged ahead in an exciting year of meta- morphosis.

The event provided an evening of fun and fellowship for mem- bers from both the newspaper and the yearbook. Also part of their cooperative activities was a trip to the Associated Collegiate Press Convention in Minneapolis, Minn. The Excalibur staff branched out into a highly pressured year by setting up dead- lines for a spring delivery. Although hin- dered by the loss of an experienced staff- er over the summer, the yearbook was EXCALIBUR: tat far lefd .Sharon Myers, copy editor, tat immediate Iefd Rex Jackson, adviser; Joe Contreras, editor; Don Draper, lay- out editor.
