Hard Work, Long Hours Confront Tiger Staff Eight newcomers were faced with the pressures and problems accompanying annual staff members. The new journalists found working on the annual to be a test of their ability to write creatively. Before actually drawing up and putting the yearbook together, the basic do’s and don’t's had to be taught. Some of the responsibilities included soliciting ads, distributing school day and senior pictures and selling annuals. Debbie Chandler performs one of the many duties of editor as she proofreads and corrects a triple copy. 40 Sally Munroe explains the correct procedure in cropping pictures and typing copy and cutlines on the triple copy.

 Ar. Sheppard, Tony Williams, and Katrinka Vines tape the radio program in which they will discuss controversial topics. Student Council Works To Modify Dress Code Homeroom representatives, a special advisory committee, and the elected officers of the Student Council worked together to make the school enjoyable to all students and teachers. A new dress code was formed which let students decide for themselves how they would dress. An hour-long radio talk show was taped each week. Other activities were the talent show, the Miss Shanks pageant, the homecoming dance, and a Senior Hop. The most successful project was the sale of orange and black Tiger T-shirts. Elyon Zeigler, sergeant-at-arms, watches for talkers during a meeting.

NHS Year Highlighted By Numerous Projects Shanks' NHS Chapter placed special emphasis on outside projects for the 73-74 year. Money-raising projects were foremost on the club’s agenda. Car washes, sale of Christmas gifts at school, and weekend dances were only a few means used to produce much-needed funds. To promote holiday spirit, the club also sponsored a door decoration contest for each homeroom during the Christmas season. Prizes were awarded for most original and most attractive decorations. NHS members were able to participate in regional brain brawls during the second semester, competing with schools in surrounding counties. The conclusion of a busy year came as several Shanks representatives traveled to the state NHS convention in late April. Patty Kohnke and Fredrick Black represent the NHS chapter in Shanks' annual Christmas program. 41
