These are the challenges the Crest staff encoun- ters during the school year when publishing the Crest, the school paper. Twelve issues a year instead of nine faced the staff when they returned to school in the fall. More frequent publications this year give the stu- dents a greater chance to work on various phases of newspaper work. Moderated by the Rev. Paul Grace, the Crest is a member of the Catholic School Press Association. Assisting the editor-in-chief, Terry Hogan, are five staff editors. Pat Connolly handles first page. Jay Kopp takes care of the feature page while Bill Conzett is in charge of the sports page. Bill Seipp edits fourth page and Tom Skemp is classroom editor. The reporters and feature writers are Richard Baumgartner, Peter Beaves, John Buenker, Don Callahan, Ken Esser, Bob Klein, Bill Kreiman, Earl Lange, William Lay, Tony MclVlahan, Tom Mettel, Charles Miller, Tom Reilly, Dennis Schmitz, Don Stouse, and Russell Wilson. The public relations staff, supervised by the Rev. Ernest Engler, is an organization closely connected with the Crest. lt has two depart- ments, sports and news, both staffed by 3A jour- nalism students. Steve Voelz, publicity news editor, is in charge of the news section which writes stories dealing with school activities of citywide interest for the local newspaper and radio stations. Dave Hinkel's responsibility as publicity sports editor is to write advance stories for all sports. He also reports scores of all events to the local and regional newspapers and radio stations.
