Newspaper staff works overtime Following in the tradition of creating a state recognized school newspaper was the staff of the Myrtle Leaf. The Myrtle Leaf received a second place award for general excellence for all of the AA school newspapers in the state in 1984-85, according to Ms. Linda Milne Kirk, adviser. Editor Sue Heim, junior, was excited to see what the year would bring. She felt that even though they don't have a lot of experience the staff members were hard vorkers who were willing to put in extra time to get the paper done. There were eighteen people cn the staff with only five returning from last year. For Lawn Lee, senior, working cn the paper was a lot different from working on the yearbook as she has done for three years. There's more writing (in newspaper) and more discipline, said Lawn. About ten weeks into the school year the staff received an Apple lie corrputer. The computer was used to edit and print the news stories. -Buddy Jackson The newspaper staff includes (front row) Chris Phillips, Celene Shoemaker Lawn Lee, Kari Lemaster, Derek Easton, Shawn Rochek, Barbara Brown, Steve Waterman, (second row) Joel Johnson, Jerilyn Johnson, Reuben Deumling, (last row) Wade Anderson, Ray Shirtcliff, Tara Windward, Sue Heim and Judy Newton.
