When not fighting over the one dependable DE-loaned typewriter, journalists were sacrificing school work to write headlines or captions, interview story sources or race back and forth to the printers. From their efforts came the bi-weekly news-magazine which received one of Columbia's few Medalists Awards and a coveted Gallup Award from Quill and Scroll, Joining the Reata Reindeer, the sheet-and-halo-clad Anvil Angels won an Honorable Mention in the Sangerfest. Staff members made a movie about editorial writing for iournalistic study and traveled to Austin in March for a weekend interscholastic League Press Conference at the University of Texas where they again won a Distinguished Merit Award. Birthdays, holidays, and deadlines alike were either recognized by sheer panic or celebration. 162-Academics

After receiving a best yearbook award from the Gulf Coast High School Press Association, the staff faced the first deadline March l. A constant demand for copy and pictures bombarded members who often spent long nights at the editors' homes slaving over triplicates or rough drafts of page layouts. Hysteria and doubts of reapplying for next year often crept into staffers' minds when their creative flow reached its lowest ebb, usually around deadlines. Parties, weekend trips and the many retakes of the staff picture provided a lighter touch to the year. June 3, the final deadline, ended staff work. on the largest yearbook ever- all that remained was a hectic delivery day in the middle of August. 164-Academics
