NEW IDEAS PRODUCE CHANGES IN TIGER Work began smoothly for the annual staff in August. Ads were sold in only a few weeks and extra money from these sales was used for color shots in the annual. Many changes were made in Journalism this year. Mrs. Gaskin became the new sponsor and thirteen new members were added to the staff. Beth Mahaffey was also the first girl photographer for the annual staff in the school’s history. Students worked hard to meet deadlines and put their best efforts into making the '73 Tiger a memorable book. Staff photographers are kept busy developing pictures so deadlines can be met. Staff members are faced by confusion in separating pictures for various pages. 46

Dritches Hayes, Marcelete Akins, Mae Joyce Siler and Selma Smith also gave 100 percent effort toward each routine. Their presence gave the band an added glow of excellence. Selma Smith, Junior 45

Editor. Deloris Hamilton, reviews the critique. TIGER’S TALE STRIVES FOR TOP-RATE PAPER The 1972-73 Tiger's Tale staff worked diligently to give Shanks High School a top-rate paper. After ads were sold, layouts completed, articles written and proofread, the Tiger's Tale went to press, bringing relief to twelve student journalists and their advisor, Miss Sue Crawford. The paper informed, influenced, and entertained students, faculty and community patrons. Meeting fast-approaching deadlines requires much work at the Times office. 47
