YELLOWJACKET Under the leadership of Editor Doyle Peterson, the YELLOWJACKET maintained a steady pace and also managed to improve in quality. The staff was able to meet a full production scale by putting out a fifteenth issue of the paper, far exceeding the accomplishments of previous years. Discount coupons were also more plentiful and were appreciated for late night snacks and Sunday dinners. Stan Watne’s popular ‘‘Calling 'Em Close’ column came to a close with his graduation in December, but senior Andy Briggs took over in the spring semester with his ‘Athlete's Footnotes.’’ A major highlight, although officially disowned by the editor and staff, was the surprise April Fool’s edition of the BUMBLEBEE, which was well accepted on campus. 136 Papers busily scattered in front of them, Editor Doyle Peterson and Layout Assistant Paul Milanowski plan the layout for another YELLOWJACKET.

Long hours spent in the darkroom on developing and printing helped to make the PIONEER a better yearbook. Photographers were also seen venturing to the far corners of the campus in order to get a new angle on campus life. A veteran staff of Mark Sjoblom, Keith Hibbard, Marc Bacon, and Alan Griffin was aided by several newcomers in shooting casual and group pictures.
