LHS publications At Lincoln High, students ore provided with three opportunities to develop their creative and journalistic talents. The LINKS covers the year's activities with stories and eye-catching pictures that show student involve- ment in the school ond community. The Advocate fea- tures news stories as well os special interest articles dealing with subjects that concern LHS students. And for those interested in creative writing. Image provides o chance for students to hove their works published. Dut Image is not only o literary magazine, it also publishes photographs ond artwork by students. The Print Shop is another aspect of journolism. It is responsible for many of the posters ond bulletins posted around the school. Combined, these opportunities provide o well-rounded journalism program of which LHS con be proud. A new look The LINKS staff starred off the decode with a new look of their own—new form and division of responsibili- ties. Previous sroffs consisted of one to three members working on each section of the book, designing layouts and writing stories for their section. This year's staff was divided into two main areas, oil under the direction of Editor Janet Kendra, who was responsible for everything that went into the book. Layout Editor Brian Everman and his assistants Lisa Scott and Carol Sroddorr were responsible for the arrange- ment and design of each page of the annual. Copy Editor Terry Cain and his assistants Chris Burbach. Indro lesolnieks, and Faith Miller rook on the writing responsi- bilities. In charge of advertising and overall financial duties was Business Manager Connie Carlson. Staff pho- tographers were Don Alit, Jim Gilmour, ond Steve Pieper. Lee Johnson was the LINKS staff advisor. The new staff form brought many advantages. Members could concentrate on developing the main skills that pertained to their area. Also, everyone had work to keep them busy until the end of the year, and the styles used in the book were more unified. The year started slowly though, as the staff encoun- tered numerous difficulties with underclassmen pictures Less than 250 of the 1100 pictures taken during the first picture day were printable which resulted in a second underclassmen picture day. Again, disaster struck the second rime around as only half of the second retakes were good. It wasn't until the third retake day that all pictures were deemed printable. The problems de- layed the yearbook's deadline schedule during the first semester. Many extra hours went into the onnual throughout the year, after school ond during vocations. Work started during the summer with a five day workshop at UNL sponsored by the Nebraska High School Fhess Associa- tion. Janet Kendra and Terry Cain attended the work- shop and brought new ideas to the staff. The effort ond success of the 1960-81 staff can be evaluated only by a glance through the pages of the LINKS 16—Student Life
