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.

Beta Club officers: Ron Weyer, president; Paul Wahl, treasurer; Paula Fischer, secretary; and Mary Lou Betz, vice-president. Leadership, scholarship, character, and service head the list of necessary traits of members of the Student Council, the Beta Club, and the Na- tional Honor Society. The Student Council, largest of the three organizations, was also the most active. Comprised of students repre- senting all four classes, the Council sponsored many and varied activities. Among these were the Halloween dance, Holiday Ball, the Morp and other dances, Earth Day, and the re- vision of the dress code and the Stu- dent Handbook. The academic side of student life was stressed by both the National Honor Society and the Beta Club. In- ductions of new members and club meetings highlighted the list of their activities.
