Jane Knust pauses briefly from her quest for a clean envi- ronment. She is just one of many concerned students. Mr. Borden leads a group of interested students in the search for trash and litter. It is a worthwhile challenge. Students Rally to Save Environment An enthusiastic Forest Park effort was put forth on Earth Day. Students and teachers spent almost an entire day picking up, cleaning up, and haul- ing away litter from the campus and surrounding community. Working for a better environment in which to live motivated everyone. Pride, a sense of accomplishment, and an obviously cleaner world were the rewards for the hard working team. In order to insure the work had not been in vain, the Student Council pro- vided trash barrels that were placed at strategic locations around the school. The participants of Earth Day carried their enthusiasm over the remainder of the year in tremendous Ranger style. LEFT: Tired but satisfied students look over the results of a hard day’s work. 24

TRACER, LOOKOUT Staffs Chronicle Year- Sharon Lueken and Kathy Pancake (background) type news stories for delivery to the printing office. When you get lonely, just visit the publications room or typing room at Forest Park High School. The students at work there are always glad to have your company and to pump you for ideas. This year, with the merging of two schools, a new publication was born. The first volume of the TRACER was devoted to the idea of “Becoming One.” Members of the TRACER staff worked long and feverishly to produce a book they could be proud of-a book they need not be ashamed to say they worked on. Somewhere in the midst of all the stubby pencils, dried-out pens, and ruined dummy sheets lay the ingenius plans for an annual that would, hopefully, climb the best-seller lists and long be remembered by loyal Forest Park Rangers. The 1972 LOOKOUT set up headquarters in the typing room. But most of the actual writing was done by staff members who were assigned stories to have written before the impending deadline. Once composed, the stories were handed to the editor to be typed up and laid out on a page with other items of interest to the students. The paper was then printed, folded, and distributed to the waiting subscribers. LOOKOUT staff members always seemed to find plenty of news to print and just the right way to state it. Much effort and care was spent on the 1972 TRACER and LOOKOUT; each stands as a tribute to its staff. ABOVE: Sister Gervase addresses LOOKOUT copies to loyal readers. As advisor to the LOOKOUT, Sister worked in each phase of its production. She also advised the TRA- CER staff whenever an experienced viewpoint was needed.
