Regular beats were assigned most students to check for possible stories, and everyone was granted the opportunity to write. Every paper included all types of articles-straight news stories, features, and edi- torials. Much of the paper,s success can be credited to the many hours of overtime work done by Sharon Tripp and Marianne Anderson, co-edi- tors selected by John W. Clifford.

Tricks ofthe Trade underway even after the editors and staff had been desig- nated. First, the design and color for the cover were chosen. Then the overall plan of the hook was carefully worked out.

Preparing copy, proof- reading copy, proofreading, making dummies, and correct- ing details became constant tasks of the yearbook staff.
