Art Staff ' Photo Staff Posters, prints create a celebration Designing colorful decorations and informative posters that adorned the school was the work of eight creative students on Art Staff. Servicing the school in order to assist the student body and ad- ministration was the purpose of the class. Students were selected by department head Kris Martens to be a part of the staff for their artistic ability and sense of responsibility. The staff not only provided a service to the school but taught the student body about art. Being on Art Staff also provided an excel- lent opportunity for students to apply themselves in a job-like situation, commented Martens. Staffers worked independently and were responsi- ble for meeting their own deadlines. Art Staff has given me a great sense of self-esteem and broadened my experience in the field, stated Junior Sonja Dieringer. Students in the Portland area submitted works of art that they had done themselves to the Art Open, which was a juried competition to encourage young artists in the Northwest. Marshall, with thirteen en- tries, captured two awards. Senior Patti Hinesh re- ceived a first place award and was given a S200 savings bond, and Sophomore Ken Haider accepted a third place award and was given a S50 merchan- dise certificate for Beard's Frame Shop. lt's really exciting having my work recognized by people who don't know me personally, commented Hinesh. Photo Staff requires a lot of extra time, but is a selective course and it's interesting, stated Photo Editor Lyn Thompson. Although small in size, the Photo Staff worked hard shooting and developing prints and trying to cover all Marshall High School events for the Lex and Verdict staffs. Meeting deadlines, long hours in the darkroom, and spending time after school was all a part of being on Photo Staff. Photographers had to have skills and experience, and were selected and ap- proved by Advisor Barbara Neeley before becoming a part of the Photo Staff. Reliability and a willing- ness to work were also important qualifications. Without the valuable contributions both the Art and Photo Staffs provide, Marshall would lack many of the qualities which make it unique, its beautifully designed wall decorations and posters, concluded Junior Elaine Chan, Art Staff member. SETTING THE TIMER for the prints that are being pocessed is Photo Editor Lyn Thompson. Learning how to operate the machines was an important photography skill. COVERING SPORTS events is one of the major responsibilities of 'being part of the Photo Staff. Here Senior Pat Van Horn looks on intently as he takes pictures at a basketball game.
