ower of the press Receiving an Award of Achievement from ILPC shows just how much the Peregrine staff worked to publish the high school paper. In order for the Peregrine to be produced, the staff had to raise enough money, S650 for a twelve page paper. To get the money the students sold ads. Tanya Smith said, I could not stress how much time and effort is put into this job. lt's real dedication. The staff covered stories such as censorship of books, com- petency testing for teachers, and traditional stories like spirit and homecoming. They have had to learn how important the paper is to the student body the hard way. The musical story was cut at the last minute leaving the staff face to face with over 100 cast, crew, and sponsors. Although there are trying times as a staffer, the good times are there, too. Rob Gaidousek said, Journalism stated in one word is all-out fun. When Stephen Berbue was asked how being a part of the staff was he replied, lt was very - interesting being able to use the 'power of the press' to help the quality of life in our student community. There are certain responsibilities for each member on the staff. Sharon Lee said, Some responsibilities are meeting deadlines, respecting fellow staffers, and above all cooperating and compromising. Michelle Franzen summed her feelings up when she said, The Peregrine staff is a unique learning experience.

The next step was evaluating the submissions and choosing what would be published by a group vote. When the material was chosen, it was proofread, typed, then sent to the printer. The staff laid out the magazine and finally marketed it. Also the In Flight staff sold fruitcakes and advertisements in order to raise money to put out the magazine. Being on In Flight was not an easy job and Steven Toon believes that selling ads was the hardest job of all. He remembered one particular incident. Todd and I walked into a sports store and gave our usual sales pitch 'Hi, we're from Jersey Village High School and we're looking for patrons to support our literary magazine.' The guy said 'good luck' and we decided to pursue the matter no further, he laughed. Dane Dickey expressed his feelings when he said, lt seems to take me out of a closed-in atmosphere and into a more realistic position. Having a position on the ln Flight staff was a challenge to the students. De Niece Bishop said, I learned how to read a magazine and get the true meaning. The staff's goal was to create an attractive package for the school's artists, photographers, and writers. The lavender cover by Robert Parmerly made an immediate impression. lt looks like a real magazine! said contributor Margaret Ar- manious of her 168 page copy. 4 Shari Tribby tries to find a good angle for her layout as Tina O'Farrell looks On.
