Journalism Department Staff Publications At top: Proofing gets the undivided attention of Kerrie Gardner, Joann Baker, Editor Judy Hermens, Karen Haupt, and Sue Ban as pasteup approaches. Above: Asst. Business Manager Kaye Moore and Exchange Editor Chris Hungerford keep the typewriters clocking. At right: Ji students Terry Patton, Gary Beard, and Cherie Ringnalda check assignments for the Cub Edition. Room 60 becomes the world of cutlines, datelines, and deadlines as Bruin staff members face pasteup. The activity accelerates from the day of posted assignments to the final deadline, and the Wednesday before publication, page editors spend their evening in frantic activity. Under the direction of Editors Judy Hermens and Steve Wisecarver, the i968-9 Bruin published an edition on the opening day of school, increased the size of the paper to an average of eight pages, and conducted a contest to secure a new nameplate. Senior Reid Miller's entry was the winner in student body balloting and now graces the front page. Journalism I students spend their year learning the terms and techniques they will need when they advance to Bruin staff. All phases of publication are covered, and the high point of the year is the publication of the Cub Edition, produced entirely by the class and edited this year by Denise Wheeler.

English Teaches Several Skills Since the mark of an educated person is his use ot language, the aims of the McMinnville High School English pro- gram are to develop in all students the ability to think and to express them- selves in clear and correct English and to help them acquire a taste for good literature. Throughout the three years of English, students are introduced to a wide range of literature-short stories, novels, essays, poetry, and drama from the classics through the contemporary. In addition to literature, strong emphasis is placed on grammar usage and com- position-to help the student acquire competency in all phases of his lan- guage, and in reading. Students who have mastered grammar and have read widely are given the opportunity to participate in an advanced program in preparation for college work.
