This is the first year in existence for the second year class, held third period, and also the first time the Radar has come out on the first day of school. Classtime and extra hours after school provide the time necessary to proofread stories, paste ads and to write the copy essential to a good newspaper. Various outside activities are also involved. In June Suzanne Hardy and Laurel Taylor attended a one-week workshop held in San Antonio at Trinity University. In August, Kip Martin, Diana Cherne, Pam John- son, Phil Reeves and Alan Reeves attended a two- day workshop sponsored by the University of Texas Journalism Department. These students along with five others from every high school in Austin had an extensive tour of publication sites in Austin. Among these were the U.T. Journalism Department, the Capitol, KTBC, the American Statesman, TRAC- OR and the Longhorn Stadium Pressbox.

Theory Course Basic Instruction In Yearbook, Newspaper Given Held second period, the first year journalism class centers around development and use of techniques in the production of the Radar and Spur. Instruction in newspaper introduction includes proper headline techniques, how to write a feature or news story and good page make-up. Much the same knowledge is applied to learning about yearbook. Copy, layout and pictures are the essentials • and the first year students learn how to combine all three in producing a good annual. Class members also sold newspaper and yearbook ads and participated in class exercises and assign- ments.
