ANNUAL ANNUAL STAFF: FRONT ROW: B. Stone. T. Brannon. SECOND ROW: K. Jones. T. Wil- liams, C. Spratlen. R. Flournoy. BACK ROW: T. Dyess, L. Scott, S. Payton. State Awards Garnered by Staffs Both publication staffs gar- nered top awards in the state journalism contest. The year- book staff received second place in state wide AA schools compe tition. Kayla Jones, Steve Pay- ton, Lisa Scott, and Brenda Stone won eight individual awards, more than any other school of any size in the state. On the newspaper staff, Lynette Martin won second on sports photograph and Clay Kennedy won third on an illustration. The newspaper staff strived to publish more feature articles on current issues such as drugs and alcohol. Problems such as financing, trying to sell ads every week, and ruined film, were only a few that arose throughout the year. Daily tasks of editor Kar- nella Alexander and staff con- sisted of planning pages for the monthly “Anchor, ad collect- ing, pasting-up layouts, and developing pictures. Skills required for annual staff mem- bers included organization, research, writing, and photogra- phy. The ten member staff slaved'’ intently to meet each deadline because of the large amount of pages each member was assigned. Details of num- bering, lettering, and cropping pictures, tic marks, and correct- ing typing errors challenged each member’s patience until the final deadline. Both staffs sponsored movies as a fund- raising project. (a) Annual sponsor, Patti Payton answers one of the many questions from staff members, (b) Senior Veronica Reed joined the staff after Christmas to assist the staff with miscellaneous tasks, (c) Candy Spratlen and Renee Flournoy work diligently cropping pictures and typing rough drafts.
