Do You Pull Your Eor? Did you realize you were sending sig- nals every time you crossed your arms, pulled on your ear, jingled the money in your pocket or scratched your nose? Well you were! You could have been defending yourself, wanting to get into a conversation, worrying about your money or have been saying you were lying. Mrs. Rose Travis explained these lan- guages ofthe body to the students of her communications class. She did this in several different ways, like jumping up and down or flapping her arms or even singing a song. A GROUP OF English students has a class discus- sion about an assigned book. Body language was the first section of communications. Mrs. Travis created the class herself and she felt body language was a necessary part of learning since it makes up 7O'Mi of life's communications. Besides body language she taught some speech, photography and the sec- ond semester was media and society. She showed four movies and had her stu- dents critically analyze them. Communications was a non-college bound course but it taught the students who took it how to utilize their imagina- tion in English and then put it into reality.

A Shower Of Creofivify The one thing that really made all the hassles and hard work worth it was on Friday when you'd look into a classroom and everyone was really reading the newspapers! said senior Meg Klingen- berger. Did anyone realize the time or hassles put into making a newspaper? The first issue took until 3:00 a.m. one Wednes- day, not to mention someone having to get up at 6:00 the next morning to take it to the Decatur Democrats to be printed. The time put forth by the staff of the Spartana was known by few. Four stu- dents went to the Journalism Workshop at Ball State University in the summer so they could have fresh new ideas to work with. Also Sandy Tremper went to a pho- tographers workshop in Illinois besides a week at Ball State. They put these ideas to work by shar- ing them with the rest of the staff. One of these ideas included brainstorming FIRST SEMESTER EDITOR, senior Meg Klingenber- ger, stands in a seemingly pensive mood. !,,-we X!

This was a time the staff used to search their imaginations for new ideas that could have been used in the last issue and that might be used in the next issue. Each staff member had to use up their ideas in fulfilling their responsiblities. If one person did not uphold his duties, the paper would not be published. But if they did come through the results were a newspaper dealing with the local news at Homestead High School. The staff strived to inform others of the problems and solutions by putting out 17 issues of the Spartana. The first semester staff put out 9 issues with senior Meg Klingenberger as editor and the second semester staff put out 8 with senior Rita Haifley as editor. The change in staffs gave 25 students a chance to be involved with publishing the Spartana. PHOTOGRAPHERS senior Brian Jetmore and junior Jerry Wismer discuss the quality of a picture. i .l ' ' l'
