Bottom: Nancy Brown, Reva McMilIion, Heston Groves, Marie Walker, Herbert Hughes, Donna Hamilton, Loretta McClung. Work, work, work! A lot ot good, hard work is required to put that school paper together each month. Ads have to be sold to help finance the paper. This is primarily the iob of the Journalism I students. What good would a bunch of ads be without news to back them up? This is the iob of Journalism I and ll. Then after the news and ads are gathered, someone has to put them together and that's where Journalism ll students really work. However, no iob could be well done without the help of a supervisor. Here, iournalists work un- der the direction of Mrs. Kathryn Drennen. Mrs. Drennen is also in charge of the sale of candy, which helps finance the school paper. Journalism I pupils are frequently seen selling candy in Room 3 at noon hours. Nothing is expertly done without a lot of ex- perienced help behind it. Journalism ll students are the mainstay ofthe paper and annual. Snooping and scouting around for interesting news is part of any reporter's life. That's a part of some of the fine experience journalism students get. 12
