Expansion was the key word on the 1975- 76 KOINE staff The KOINE was enlarged to 192 pages — eight addition pages More color was also added to make the book nnore appealing The staff was ex- panded to 19 members By the end of the year there were six cameras on the staff, two staff cameras and four staff members ' cameras Many of the pictures by all these photographers were developed by the staff in Mrs Ginger Preston ' s basement There are hopes for a dark room to be put in the tiny lanitor ' s room the staff called our room Within those walls of our room were some very good times Birthdays were cele- brated to bring the large staff closer The cakes were a big attraction for members to drop by the room Cheescake was the fav- orite until one murmured doubtfully. I wish I could get to like cheesecake but I just can ' t. If the members had gotten any closer they would have been breathing down each others necks especially if the whole staff were in that tiny room at one time. After two trips together, the first to Longwood for the Delmars Yearbook Workshop and the second to U VA to receive another trophy for the KOINE, the staff got to know each quite well. The staff won the school door decorating contest and celebrated Christmas on the first Saturday of vacation Like any other staff, hours were spent after school working on the yearbook but when laughter could be heard coming from that tiny room, the staff knew it was to be their book TOP Business Manager Lynne Pyrtle adds up the number of yearbooks sold while Nan Wall adds up the amount of money turned in RIGHT At UVA.

A - V w Jyy I y r M Link for 1975-76 was anything but the same jjasljme 1974-75 volume. Most of the changes seemed Jjy to bring a better newspaper in the eyes of most read- ' -j ers. Unlike in years past when a small staff and their sponsor,worked to finance as well as publish a good trs years Link had several new advantages of all. the newspaper was done entirely by the sm class. The class was taught for the first time giving a textbook approach to journalism as practical background through the publication bf the paper Yet this class-oriented paper had the dis- advantage of excluding many who wanted to write for the paper but could not take the class. Secondly, through the editor of the Henry County Journal, Ken Bradley, the paper was printed once each six weeks as an addition to the Journal. All of the area high schools were permitted to participate giving an op- portunity for all schools to have a virtually free paper. Individual copies were ten cents and most of this was profit. The Link was the very first to come out in this new form. Due to an increase to twenty-five students working on the paper. The Link expanded to include more opinion polls, new columns and generally expressed the feelings of a greater majority of students. Sponsor Ms Patricia Toler summed up her feelings about her work with the staff: I loved it . . it was new and more enjoyable. I had the type of students who really had an interest in journalism; so, we had fun as well as work. Jn CENTER Sponsor. Ms Patricia Toler. and editor.
