NEST OF NEWS Snuggled tightly into a corner, as a child tucks his most precious treas- ure, is the humble Phoenix Nest. Beyond its Wooden frame, painted brown and flamingo, lies the intricate fascination of pinning and pasting dummies, typing copy, proof-reading gallies, cropping pictures, assigning and reassigning stories and counting out headlines to perfection. With a pencil, scissors, and paste jar in one hand, and cake and coke in the other, the editors meet their deadlines. From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with overtime on Sunday, the staff, under the direction of Sister Mary Sharon, Phoenix staff advisor, laugh and toil through eight editions of the paper the Phoenix Alumni, and the yearbook 1 Examining pictures that have just been re- turned from the engraver are staff members D.ck Brandenburg, Rita Surby, Cathy Grimm, Phoenix business manager, Rose Marie Sim- one, Io Ann Hammerschmidt, Barbara Des- ecki, Rita Kerkhove, Diane Keating, Mary Tarrant, and Carol Grundhoefer, yearbook business manager. Ready smiles prove that the pictures are good. The Yuletide season announces the edition of the Christmas Phoenix as page editors Herold Keil and Lorraine Deruisa, with sports editor Richard Kaczmarek, struggle over dummies and rewrites. Amber Heflin, co-editor of the Phoenix. pauses before classes to check the coming events on the calendar in the Nest. Gay spirits vibrate through the Nest as staff members get into the feeling of the holidays during a gala Christmas celebra- tion. As one editor to another-a few pointers are given to Eleanor Zabiaka, co-editor of the yearbook by Ed Marciniak, editor of Work, well-known labor alliance paper. Page 33
