SCHOOLS JOURNAL STAFF ROW 1: Phyllis Bowman, Jackie Roth, Harriet Mason, Billie Dunn, Connie Lord ROW 2: Shirley Bishey, Karen Yaggy, Karen Nelson, Mary Ellen Nail, Barbara, Lazarus, Marlena Sparks, Barbara Silverstein ROW 3: Phyllis Ewing, Ron Noe, Karen Havinga, Linda Lear, Mr. Kopel, Lois Richards, Beth Stearns One of the most active groups at Lincoln this year was the journalism department. With 15 students, they put out the Schools Journal every week, published the Torch, and put out the final big edition of the Schools Journal. Students performed every phase of work independently, writing, edit- ing, copy and proof-reading, making layouts, collecting ads, taking pic- tures, they even financed part of their work by sponsoring the Christ- mas Formal and the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Co-editorship of the Schools Jour- nal was rotated so that every mem- ber of the class had a chance to work at every phase of publication. Jackie R-oth and Linda Lear headed the Torch Staff, while Phyllis Bowman and Karen Yaggy edited the final edition. This year's journalists were grateful to the help and understand- ing given them by their instructor, James Kopel, and felt that the course improved their writing, gave them self-confidence and poise through Contact with other people, enabled them to think and evaluate events more accurately and critically, and made them more aware and appre- ciative of their environments.
