NEW NEWS — PAPER FORMAT Under the editor ship of Brian Ramey the Charger Spirit tried a different approach to the format this year. Beginning with a smaller size paper More controversial stories were added, the content became more complete and the layout was continously improved. We've tried to show both sides to every issue. I hope the class as well as myself have ma- tured as young journalists. ex- plains Ramey. The paper covered every line from club news, athletics, current events, and cultural reviews.

YEARBOOK YEAR-ROUND ACTIVITY Attemtpting to overcome the trials of learning photography, selling ads, writing copy, and catching up a backlog created by snowdays that turned into snow weeks, were all challenges with which the 1985 Charger Flashbach staff struggled. The work of the staff actually began in the summer preceding the 1984-85 school year when editors Sue Ann Anderson, Cheryl Personett, and Dawn VanGilder met with Adviser Mrs. Denise Walker to plan for theme and staff ideas. The trio also at- tended summer journalism camps at Indiana University and Ball State University. As the year began, the adviser, editors, and staff met together to structure the functions of year- booking — ad sales, photo as- signments, and distribution of the yearbook for the 1983-84 school year. The theme. Charger Pride: Your Style, was adopted and applied throughout the book. A new staff was recruited for the 1985-86 year and its editors also attended summer camps in preparation for the coming year, thus complet- ing a circle of year-round year- book activity. 24 — PUBLICATIONS o o (Q O 3 (D I CO =r CO o IT o o CD 00 Or o rr a —i CO CD — o c ZJ cr CD o CHARGER PRIDE:
