No longer did production on the yearbook and newspaper take place during the same class period. Instead, the Re-Echo and Bearcat staffs met separately, giving more students an opportunity to join the program. The addition of a separate period for photography further developed the department’s manpower, allowing coverage of a wider range of the school’s activities. For the second consecutive year, the Re-Echo was presented a Herff-Jones Showcase Award for excellence in yearbook journalism. A First-Place Award from Columbia Scholastic Press Association, designated the book as a superior publication.

II students, a period of intensive training was used to prepare a staff responsible for a series of five issues of Bearcat, as well as the 192 page yearbook. Although classwork was massive, workshops acquainted students with the world of scholastic publications by exposing them to the works of award-winning schools and to the nation’s top yearbook authorities. “Newspaper was one of the most unique classes I ever took,” said Bearcat feature editor Stacey Forte, junior, “During the time we were preparing to publish, everyone appeared to be sitting around talking, but when those Saturday morning and Monday afternoon deadlines approached, everyone on the staff would go to work and somehow everything would be done.” IT WAS THE AFTERNOON OF MARCH 15, when the newest members of the National Honor Society were inducted in the traditional candlelight ceremony held in the Godwin Auditorium. From there, they spent the year in school and public service. “It felt great,” said Melba Fox, junior, “Like the others inducted, I worked a long time for this!” That’s all it took. Team work.
