Jones Annual Staff worked over 620 hours on the 1964 PIONEER, the official Fort Benton High School year- book. Editorships for the 1964 annual were chosen by Mr. Jones from applications made early in the fall. Editors were expected to work at least 25 hours to maintain their editorships. Putting out an annual is more than just devising layouts. It includes selling advertisements, selling advance orders, preparing the basketball programs, ordering the River Press ad, and then the actual work on the annual. Annual staff members who worked 50 hours or more qualified for Annual Staff pins. They are: Ruth Silvius, Barbara Beals, Phil Scriver, Dexter Laubach, Donna Shaw, Susie Appleby, Linda Leeper. Credit also goes to those members who worked hard on their sections of the book: Carolyn Collins, Roger Pugh, Leona Ayers, Bernard Cameron, Richard Nagengast, and Judy Erwin. They worked 25-50 hours each. These people worked 5-15 hours, and helped a great deal in finishing specific sections and devising layouts: Sharalee Smith, Leon Cox, Steve Granger, and Kathy Sullivan. i Ruth Silvius served as editor of the 1964 Pioneer. Judy Erwin and Richard Nagengast proportion pictures, one of the most important parts of preparing a layout. 30
