The Prowler staff got off to a head start this year by selling most of their ads during the summer. Also, five members, along with Mrs. Voyles, attended a workshop at Auburn during the summer. While there, they learned basic information about creating the yearbook. The members had to compete with sixty schools and came out on top to win a Canon Sure Shot AF35mm camera for creating the best layout design and the best theme. To help with their annual sales, the Prowler staff hosted one of the monthly PTO meetings. During the meeting they told a little about the i983 yearbook and presented a slide show as a preview. The staff then showed the slide show at school during one of the weekly assemblies to encourage all students to buy an annual. The annual staff's major project this year was the Miss FRA pageant, which they cosponsored with the newspaper staff. This event was the biggest money- making project of the two staffs, and was once again a big success as well as a great deal of fun. In May the staff attended the Georgia Scholastic Press Association's annual workshop at the University of Georgia's Grady School of Journalism. At the GSPA workshop they again entered the statewide yearbook competitions. Though award announcements will be after the yearbook is printed, the staff hoped to repeat the i982 staff's statewide win of theme presentation. This was the first time that FRA had won in these GSPA competitions open to all schools in Georgia, both public and private. l. Susan Dees finishes her layout. 2, Yearbook staff. Sandy Grubbs.

The Informer staff got off to a busy start at the beginning of the l982-83 school year. The staff had ten members. Of the ten members there were only two veterans. ln a sense the whole staff had to be rebuilt. They all knew they had a lot of work to learn in a short time. The Informer staff first studied journalism and tech- nique. After that was mastered, they went on to more difficult things like writing a lead story. They all learned this in a very short period of time. Mr. Lewin was the Informer staff adviser. He set goals for the staff, like how many papers they would print. This year the staff printed eight papers. To print a paper it takes many weeks of hard work and writing. After the staff has everything written, they take their stories to Thomaston for paste-up. This is where the paper is actually put together. lt took the Flint River staff about five hours to put together a paper. The paper usually has in it some of the following stories: what's happening in Flint River sports, activi- ties that are going on in the school, and the senior spotlight. One thing that was constant all year was the MABEC ad of Tommy Mathews' father. The entire staff agrees on one thing, they believed that the class would help them in the future in the field of journalism. l. Hynes Barnes points out a problem with Meri Reames' copy. 2.
