The members of the staff worked hour after hour to produce an annual that brought them much satisfaction. The editorial staff members wrote, typed, and cut copy to fit the space available. Pictures of the senior class, classrooms, and the clubs were taken by Bodie Studio, and the activity shots were taken by the Photo Club. Diligently working to meet the deadlines, the staff members put out the yearbook that the pupils re¬ ceived the last week of school. Conferences and conventions were at¬ tended by many of the members of the staff. In the preceding summer Sue Dorman and Sheila Stone attended a two-week summer course in yearbook techniques at Indiana University.

Well-organized Staff Maintains Paper Checking over galleys of the Mortonite for printer’s errors, the school paper that was issued semi-monthly, are these editorial staff members—Reporter Doreen Biar.ucci, Feature Editor Julie Kitchen, Reporter Dorthee Bell, Page Editor Robert LaBelle, Assis¬ tant Editor Carolyn Reichardt, Reporter Cathy Hlavaty, Sponsor Mrs. Helen Stock, Editor-in-chief Mike Boardman, Sports Editor Ray Price, Reporter Francene Vintilla, Page Editor Susan Britt, Reporter Sandra Stone, and News Editor Bunny Josway. In answer to last years plea for a lar¬ ger staff, well-balanced editorial and business staffs took charge of the school’s semi-monthly newspaper. While the busi¬ ness staff sold ads and supervised fi¬ nances in order to “make ends meet”, the editorial, staff organized lay-outs, cropped pictures, wrote copy, and devel¬ oped a sort of radar for any and all news around school. Members of the staff, including the editor Mike Boardman, studied at In¬ diana University in preparation for the management of the paper. The staff hopes to interest enough students in journalism to put out a weekly paper. Selling ads to local patrons handling circulating details and keeping the ledger straight through the year pf 1961-1962 to pay for the Mortonite issues was the job of—Diane Weedon, Robert Colbert. Mark McNeil, Jim Herochik, and Charley Hill.
