The Blue Gold Is “Making The Grade” The Blue Gold staff has attempted to publish an issue of its newspaper every week. It is not an easy task to meet the deadlines and come up with the right amount of news each week. They covered all facets of school life, attempting to touch on all activities as well as any human interest stories. Through features and editorials, the staff expressed the students' point of view of issues of concern in our school, as well as one a larger scale in our state and country. The Blue Gold staff begins their week by posting assignments. During the following week, the Journalism class works during class and study halls, preparing the paper. A few of their numorous tasks consist of taking pictures, reporting, typing, proofreading, writing cutlines, lightboarding and trying to meet the deadline. The journalism class consists of nine students: Robin Dement, David Greenhaw, Michele Gunderson, Diane Gutzmer, Shelly Heitman, Juli Jensen, Becky Koepke, Nancy Martin and Jan Sjolie. The journalism class, along with the Prestonian staff, attended a Press Convention on the South Dakota State University Campus in Brook- ings. The paper had improved in the last year, but still missed all-state by a few points. The Blue Gold is striving to improve for next year. Students who work on the paper learn to be aware of what is going on around them and they get a lot of writing experience.

The Prestonian Staff Works Hard To Put Out Prestonian On Time The Prestonian staff this year was led by Ranae Dement who was the editor. She worked many hours gathering material and answering the many questions from others on the Prestonian staff. Ranae’s co-editors were Terri Wienk and Kay Osvog who helped Ranae and the other staff members through thick and thin. Kay spent a lot of time on the typewriter while Terri was working hard on layouts for the yearbooks many pages. This years’ Prestonian advisor was Natalie Iverson. She was there if the staff needed her and they never could have done it without her. Others on the Prestonian staff were seniors: Bonnie Ellinson, Carol Hesby, Kristi Jibben, and Denise Tolzin, juniors: Diane Gutzmer, and sophomores: Lynne Casper, Shawn Hasche. Shelly Cass, Ronda Palmlund, and Robin Dement. These people did such things as search for materials, write and edit stories, sketch layouts, and take pictures to help make the Prestonian more interesting. The Prestonian staff felt that putting the Prestonian together was a lot of hard work, but it was fun and worth making something that will leave a lasting memory. Editor, Ranae Dement, works on the senior page layout.
