This year the editors for the Franklin Post and the Kite V Key worked many long hours in the preparation of their publications. Editor-in-chief of the Kite ' n ' Key, Janne Dorsett, busied herself by helping her staff write copy, cap- tions, and headlines. She offered many ideas for the improvement of the yearbook. Class editors, Nancy Troyer, Becky Cecil, and Dennis Cooley, al- phabetized and created the lay-outs for the stu- dent section of the yearbook. All copy was supervised by Penny Robinson and Debby Ormes, copy editors. Theme and cover design was the area assigned to Joyce Sowers. And Diane Stetler was responsible to oversee the creation of lay- outs. Mike Martone, as editor-in-chief of the newspa- per, proved to be an invaluable souce of ideas for stories. George Wagner, news editor, Lynda Foster and Mary Wittwer, feature editors, and John Hoyl- man, sports editor all assisted Mike with the plan- ning of the lay-out and the writing of the headlines and stories. George Wagner shields his eyes as the girls from the Publica- tions class eagerly grab for the goodies brought back from Keltsche ' s. d Publish the Newspaper and the Yearbook ' :WL 7 M ■ ' ■1 W M ' m m.
