tether ' Preserving Memories ' Journalism ' D journalism drives Mrs. Basinger to famong other thingsl make weird faces. Zl No, it's like this!! 31 Editors get things organized for business contest picutes. 41 Are you trying to climb over the bush, or what!?!?!? Students that signed up for third hour journal- ism class, soon found that the class required more time than they had previously believed. Beside doing assigned yearbook pages and newspaper articles, students also sold advertise- ments for the newspaper and yearbook, took pic- tures, and sold m 8: m's for the many expendi- tures encountered. Prior to school beginning, Nancy Kolster, yearbook editor, and Marianne Fry, yearbook as- sistant editor, attended an Inter Collegiate Press week-long workshop. There they learned layout techniques, copywriting rules, and theme idea, among other things. When school began, the editors applied these principals to the almost-all rookie journalists to in- crease their knowledge of yearbook production. This year the yearbooks were increased to the price of eleven dollars. During the sales week, the journalism class presented a slide show to the stu- dent body in order to increase yearbook sales. Six newspaper publications were distributed at various times throughout the school year. Mari- anne Fry was the editor of the 1980-81 Eagles' Cry. Overall, the journalism department was successful in HSOARING HIGHER with their accomplish- ments. IOURNALISM! 167
