Links staff has pride They’re more than pop journalists Being denied the title of journalist was a problem with which Links staff members had to cope. Most ac- cusers felt that yearbook was for pop journalists, reserved strictly for high school students and simplistic style. But Editor Kevin Fullerton dis- agreed. The senior felt that it’s still a publication, and the effort and work put into it is just as much as the Ad- vocate. “We cover the school like a news- paper does. It’s just more of a maga- zine style,” he said. According to senior Beth Kolb, a person needed to be a mixture of an independent and a team worker to survive on yearbook. Not only did the students need to show individual in- itiative, but they also worked with other staff members to merge all the work into a single publication. Advisor Lee Johnson felt that stu- dents learned the technical side of putting out a publication. They learned layout, writing and organi- zational skills. They also gained a personal knowledge of communicat- ing and getting along with not only the other staff members, but also other people in the school and com- munity. Everyone had their own impression of what was best about the class. Beth felt that the staff was a fun group. “1 liked the wild and cosmic peo- ple,” she said. “The staff meetings usually became crazied riots, but things still got done.” Nine of the 13 staff members went on a journalism trip to Chicago. They returned with a two honorable men- tion awards in a national write-off competition. Jenny Barron placed in yearbook theme and design, and Troy Johnson in yearbook photography. The distributing of the books was the special part of the year for Kevin. He said that all the hard work and effort seemed unappreciated until the students received their yearbooks. “When you see the kids’ faces and hear their excitement about the book, you know it was worth it,” he said.
