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

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

ACTIVITIES EXPAND IN STUDENT COUNCIL With homeroom representatives and officers elected, the Student Council was again ready to undertake any challenge. The fund-raising projects of the Student Council were successful. The Council sold sweatshirts with the school emblem on them as a fund-raising project. Dances after football and basketball games added to the fund-raising projects. This money helped in paying the telephone bill and other Student Council debts. During homecoming week, the Student Council sponsored many activities. Among them were the Miss Shanks Pageant, a bonfire, and the homecoming dance. Rudolph Thomas and Javacia Jones look on as Beth Mahaf- fey reads the minutes. Student Council representatives listen attentively while Javacia Jones answers questions about the homecoming parade. 48
