Herald staff learns skills A student publication is an important asset to any school, and Hanks High School was no exception. The award winning Herald was proud to be in it's sixth year at Hanks. The Herald had received numerous awards for photography and layout designs. The staff was composed mostly of new members who showed a lot of potential for the future. The biggest improvement in the staff this year was the new Compugraphic typesetter. Any type setting the staff needed before the new typesetter had to be sent away and was costly not only monetarily but valuable time was lost also. We were able to use the new typesetter during the second semester, said Noel Knight, Herald advisor. This gave the students a valuable opportunity of learning how to do their own typesetting. The new typesetter enabled the Herald to put out the paper with more ease and less effort than ever before. Herald 105 DIQJSH

We danced the chicken, ate German sausage, sauerkraut and brochin, said club member Michael Garcia. Garcia also said that a fascing party, a type of costume party, was held at a club members house. Fray Ewton, German club sponsor, believed that while her students learned more about the German language in class, club outings taught them more about the culture. The club's biggest goal was to go to Sacramento, New Mexico for a weekend, and immerse themselves in the German language and culture. They reached their goal by selling advent calendars and using the proceeds to fund the trip. Qouvid Ups Round Ups 107
