ww, ts. 4 Yearbook staff continues, Newspaper initiates Gabriels journalistic tradition The journalistic tradition of Gabriels remained intact this year as Trumpet '68 chronicled the school year and a newspaper began pub- lishing for the first time. Mixed up negatives and a mass of crumpled body copy charac- terize the yearbook staff's frequent meetings. A small but determined staff under the direction of Mrs. Krug and editors Ann Bergeson and Ellen Cook absorbed themselves in the complex yet rewarding task of producing Trumpet '68. Deadlines went by unmetg pictures re- fused to fit layouts, and copy was constantly being rewritten. All the trials and tribulations of yearbook work seem to vanish, however, when the book appears in tangible form. After being promised for over a year, the newspaper finally was published. Editor George Wietor assembled a staff of reporters and artists, and editions of Gabriels first newspaper rolled off the presses.

. l l T ams triumph to echo of Go Rocks The mark of a great athletic season is pride and determination. To give a young man a challenge, a pride in him- self and his school are the aims of a sports program. Athletics can only con- tinue if these qualities become reality. Football at Gabriels instills a deter- mination and the drive for accomplish- ment. Only through team cooperation can the goal be met. Strength personi- fied becomes wrestling. Tension, strain, and courage are found within itls par- ticipants. In basketball, a young man acquires coordination, a sense of bal- ance and timing, and the ability to judge quickly. It was for these purposes that Gabriels established and continues it's athletic program. Not alone can a team be successful. Behind them always must be a loyal and persevering student body. Spon- taneous cheers, explosive applause, mo- ments of silence intermingled with tears and disappointment combined to pro- duce a Shamrock spirit unequalled in past years. 51
