PUBLICATIONS lon ae i Hard at work, editor Doyle Peterson and Cheryl Owen piece together another YELLOWJACKET lay-out. L ate hours at work on the Pioneer for Debbie Fulghum and Sue Britt included seemingly endless amounts of copy to write and type. 134 The many facets of campus publications included the YELLOWJACKET, the PIONEER, and the photography staff behind them. Mr. Ralph Gilbert again served as adviser for student publications. Doyle Peterson was appointed YELLOWJACKET Editor, while Mark Sjoblom filled the position of photography editor. The PIONEER staff included four section editors Sue Britt — Campus Life, Jim Course — Sports, Alan Griffin — Organizations, and Dave Strait — Advertising. Though all staffs were small, their unity outweighed the need for excessive personnel. Deep in thought, adviser Ralph Gilbert ponders a more effective approach to meeting frustrating publication deadlines. Photographer Alan Griffin presents his latest prints for Mark Sjoblom’s approval, as Steve Haglin looks on.

lj “Big Man” left his mark on the campus scene. Famous for his impersonations of Humphrey, Nixon, and Billy Graham, he has been the ever-present em-cee at an endless list of college programs and banquets. What the legendary ‘‘Alabama”’ and ‘‘Tennessee’’ were to earlier days, STAN WATNE has been to recent talent shows, hootenannies, and dinners. He spearheaded the Fall Retreat for two years, maintained active participation in TKD, but made his greatest impact on the revival of interest in wrestling at LC. He is two-time state heavyweight champ and has aided the college in its quick rise in state wrestling circles. DAVE WOOTTEN has been a member of the famed Dorm 40 gang since his arrival at LeTourneau College. He has consistently been in the background of many of the major campus happenings. Rarely seen in the public aspects of campus life, he has backed the development of technical equipment for student programs, the development of a strong student activities series, and this year, the establishment of a fine-arts contest to encourage student creativity. He has also been active in student publications and was the first person to be named to the paid position of Student Activities Director. 133

Ne 10 + | FIRE DEPARTS es ¥ : aw ag PE x PIONEER The dedication of a small staff through late night deadlines put the 1977 PIONEER ahead of schedule at the end of the spring semester in comparison with many previous years. Initially lacking student leadership and experience, the staff was able to put out a very successful yearbook in a first hand ‘‘learn-as-you-go”’ manner. The majority of the staff worked through the trying times of spring term papers and finals and were able to complete the book a few days after graduation. teem eee Under the supervision of Mr. Ralph Gilbert, the 1977 PIONEER was an excellent learning experience for the staff, particularly Sue Britt, Jim Course, Alan Griffin and Dave Strait, who served as sectional editors for the Joel Dingeldein, Karen Jones and Sue Britt take a break from their 1977 PIONEER. work on the Campus Life section to share a smile over an amusing picture found among a pile of rejected prints. 135
