Business Manager Randy Kobler dials deep into conversation with a prospective advertiser Story in itself This group tells the story of itself. Its dignification comes in the bold black print of the Links' newspaper. The 1979-80 Advocate staff consisted of about twenty stu- dents. The majority of them were juniors. Their purpose was to provide an effective means of communication between the school and the community. Lee Johnson, Advocate sponsor, says, Our first goal was to serve the interest of the school.'' Among other goals were reducing the operation's deficit and becoming a self-supporting newspaper.Hope- fully, these changes insured the future of the newspaper in case of an overall budget cut The staff published 12 issues, approximately one every three weeks. This year they also wrote their news from a feature angle. The staff hopes to gain more respect and recognition for their paper as each year goes by. To succeed in their goals, the staff had to spend hard working hours, much concentration, and combine individual and group efforts. 1979-80 Advocate Editor Assistant Editor Sports Editor Joel Thornton Layout Editor Business Managers Randy Kobler Writers Julie Sharp Sandy Speers Sue Trampe Lori Trejo Bill Buntain John (Jllman Kelli Walin Randy Wymore Photographers Gary Jorgens Dale Nichols Steve Pieper Artist Mitch McKeown Advisors Ms. Teri Bigelow Principal Mr. Sanford Nelson Student Life-16

Lee Johnson was the advisor and Teri Bigelow was the assistant advisor. Over the summer Nancy Wolff and Bill Buntain attended a week-long clinic in Hastings. NE, sponsored by the Nebraska High School Press Association. They learned many new techniques in yearbook design and layout, as well as writing, theme, and photography. They brought back these new ideas to the staff and it was decided to implement some of the new techniques in the 1980 Links. The toughest part of the year was keeping a unified and organized staff. Missing copy deadlines and plant deadlines were a couple of the problems that arose but they were quickly worked out and a successful book was issued in May 1980. About the 1980 Links Staff, Lee Johnson com- mented, Everyone did a good job at trying to change the yearbook for the best.
