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 If one person did not uphold his duties, the paper would not be published.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'

Cornering Our Clciims Peering through our four windows to the world, you might have been confused as to what you saw. Thirteen students milled aimlessly about and a teacher in a corner sat under the sun-or though it may have seemed. t'lt's a hell of a lot different on this side of the window. -Marla Cohen, Student Life Editor. Looking into our 'little world' you may get the impression that is just what it was -our little world. Not so for we were much into all of the activities and going- ons in and around the school-we had to -that was our job. Being on the yearbook staff let me see what happened in the school which l normally wouldnlt have seen. -Karen Corkwell, Clubs 8i Orgs. Edi- tor. The '78 staff was made up of 13 stu- dents with six returning from the previ- ous year. Considering this was my first year, I wasn't sure what to expect, but l love writing and everyone helped me out. -Denise Crumpacker, Academics Editor. As a student in the yearbook class, helping fellow students was a major part of learning a thing or two yourself. We worked a lot, but we had time for fun too. -Beth Bunn, Underclass Editor. Yes many extra hours were given on everyone's part, but time was still left for a small dose of fun. A Thanksgiving din- ner's location that was changed at the last minute, a birthday party for Nlr. Bruce Konkle, a Christmas party with the newspaper staff and just celebrations was some of the fun we all had. Also squeezed in for some was a trip to Columbia University in New York City to attend a Journalism Seminar. Fund rais- ers, a dance and a paper drive, were put into action by the staffers taking part in the 'little outing' to lessen the financial load on them. Being on the yearbook staff would be a good experience for anyone. It teaches one a sense of responsibility. -Dan Peterson, Underclass. 18-Yearbook X N 1- WHEN HAVING a birthday party for their second THE FINAL STEP! Drawing the triplicate.
