Pubs Win All Early in December, Radar and Spur staff members traveled to Denton where they collected All-Texas ratings at the Texas High School Press Association meeting. Last year’s edition of the Spur received 51 points out of a possible 60. The book earned perfect scores in art and cover design, editorial content, and makeup. The book was in competition with all schools in Texas with enrollments of between 1500 and 1750. It received the third highest points in the state. We really learned a lot this year, according to Kathy Oakes, editor. Fall editions of the Radar were entered in the triweekly division. The newspaper won a total of 155 points out of a possible Texas 200. After being judged in the areas of news value, news coverage, feature coverage, column writing, editorial coverage, sports coverage, and makeup, the Radar was awarded sixth place in the state. Kip Gilbert and Johnette Olvera, Radar Entertainment Editors, won an honorable mention at THSPA for a feature story on ice skating. Photography awards were won by Barry Bramhall for a sports action photo of an ice skater, and Dorman King won an honorable mention for a Volleyball action shot. The year was a lot of fun, especially the trip to Denton and our class parties. The paper improved with each issue, said Terri Slayton, one of the newspaper editors. Terri and Rona Ebert shared the position of editors. Both the Spur and Radar were sponsored by Mrs. Lorene Denney. (1) Perhops Kip Gilbert ho» just gotten o tip on o b g 'scoop.'
