fp an-A g,'.'f-ag r Viking staff plans yearbook Photographer Sue Widlund taking pictures in Journalism lab. Magazine class students look over pages of annual. Fifteen students were enrolled in 'Making of a Magazine? during Interim. The class, designed by Journalism advisor, Dr. Ralph Speer, produced, designed and edited the Viking annual. They also worked on other student publications, such as the Friday Noon publication and the spring supple- ment to the Viking. Students also were asked to give oral re- ports on magazines chosen by Dr. Speer. The class consisted of several journalism majors, as well as many other students. One member of the class, Scott Sailor, editor of the Viking, commented, I think having a class in January to work on the annual is an excellent idea. We have about the right size class and hopefully we got every- thing done on time. Everyone worked hard and Dr. Speer was very patient with us. Dr. Speer also had a few comments on the class, I wish we had done this before, because students were able to get credit for the practical work of putting an annual together. It also allowed us to meet publication deadlines in a more relaxed atmosphere. The class was fortunate to have two photographers, Sue Widlund and Sue Palmer, also enrolled in the class. Widlund commented, Working on the yearbook in the magazine class was really helpful. The general attitude of the class was very easygoing and with everyone submitting ideas, I think we'll get the annual finished with no problem at all.
