Iournalism Classes Combine To Form Bengal Beat After a rough start, the journalism classes pull- ed together to form the best Bengal Beat staff in years. This is the first year I've had I-l students do well enough to deserve promotions at mid-term, said sponsor Kathryn Barnett. Usually, I-1 students stay reporters all year. They only move up when they get into second year journalism. Even then, staff positions are acquired and kept on merit, she explained. By February l, the staff completed the four issues necessary to enter Interscholastic League Press Conference competition in newspaper overall ratings, and individual achievement awards. The results were announced in April at the convention in Austin. This was the first year of competition at the 5A level. ln the UIL individual writing contests, we've made it to state two of the three years we've com- peted, said Barnett. So even though we were up against some heavy-weight schools, the talent of some individuals gave us the strength we needed as a group to hold our own against the big guys.

Literature Club Hosts Anthology The Literature Club presented its second annual literacy anthology in May. Approximately 200 pieces of short stories, poetry, and artwork were submitted by talented student Writers and artists during the fall semester. Editors Cary Birdwell, Ienniier Gause, Brad Campbell, Keather Valdez and DeLea Stutzman led the committee members in selecting material for the 1987 Anthology. During the spring, two guest speakers, Dr. Cohan and Dr. Romer spoke to club members about poetry and the Iapanese Education System. Off the job, the club attended Texas Christian University's production of The Glass Menagerie and Death Trap. Altogether it has been a very suc- cessful year, said club sponsor Bever- ly Frank.

!sr if Graphic artist, Cheryl Whaley, diligently works on her art for the yearbook pages. paannvmf Monica Brown indexes the completed pages in the Kit Binder. Staff Marks 'Firsts' As Year Progresses Quad-packs, proportion wheels, grease pen- cils and pica rulers were just a few items that the yearbook staff frantically searched for and used to publish the book. The staff, composed of 15 new and two retur- ning members busied themselves between four deadlines with writing copy, headlines and captionsg conducting interviews: selling ads: cropping photographs: and, doing page layouts. Under the advisement of new sponsor, Mrs. Diann Whaley, the staff experienced several firsts. This was the first time that the yearbook oversold its original 800 quota in one sale. l was extremely pleased with the way the November sale went, said Mrs. Whaley. The response we had was very encouraging. Also, this was the beginning of a state man- dated tax on yearbooks. The final cost of the 1987 Tiger was S25 per copy: the previous yearbook sold for S20 per copy. The cover, designed by senior Cheryl Whaley, was the first original four-color pro- cess artwork to enhance the book. In 1979, a color photograph was featured on the cover. The table of contents, as well as other graphic art, was created by Cheryl to accompany the book's theme, the QUEST. More copy was also added in order to move to a more journalistic approach.
