99 .f Junior Journalists Get First Taste of Newspaper Life Participation in the complicated business of putting an annual together was another phase through which those in Journalism I passed. Planning for the Governor is initiated at the beginning of the school year. This year Jour- nalism ll students were in charge but their assistants were recruited from the first year class. Much of the work the assistants did was mundane but vital typing, pasting and cutting. Making up a page, arranging for pictures, and writing the copy was assigned to many iuniors, however. All was on-the-iob training for next year when the first year class will take over. Such an apprenticeship was not possible in the old building, where the facilities only made one iournalism class possible. Work it was. Hours were spent to make sure deadlines were met. Before school, after school, during school and at home the time piled up. The reward, learning that was a lot of fun, stories one wrote in print, and the tremendous feeling of having recaptured an entire year at Johnson in the yearbook and in the Courier. ve. rg, 45 ,sw-of s we fl .f fr 1 A 6-1 W K 15, 2: .' 5 5 L. 1135 E 4 E 2 y N A F.: I . .i W, g M, ...ryanlllkt 1 .M r 'I 'H Top: S.
