Mr. Len Cockman and five students. Lori Smith Jerel Lee. Jeff Collins. Keith Loeffelholz, and Chrissie Fink headed for the University of Northern lowa for the three day camp. Introductory skills were taught and basic ideas vi ere formed through mini-courses. Such courses included. lay rut and de- sign. copy and captions. photography, and a humorous What Not To Do course headed by Mr. Cockma 1. The staff members and Mr. Cockman put together ideas and brain- stormed for the three day trip and the theme was created from the idea Jeff Collins had. Starting on September 1. 1987, eighteen staff members joined together with their advisor in the new facility, complete with a classroom, office, and darkroom. Students decided who should do what. and where to put exactly what they FIFTY-SIX wanted in the book. A group brainstorm for ideas to build the theme helped to input each persons different taste. Lecture and creations of layouts showed how to do what had to be done by March 1, 1988. As the year progressed quickly, the Shield was produced slowly. Meeting the deadlines seemed impossible and miss- ing them was inevitable. Although a few staff members and Mr. Cockman pulled together and devoted hours after school and home to rush in the majority of the book by February 20. 1988. There is a lot more work involved than what most people see in the end of may. Each picture must be cropped and labled. then placed on a page, each page must be drawn with a separate idea, copy and captions have to be written, and information must be found and arranged. All of which is easier said than done.

This was the scene of an everyday physical education class. Students are involved in this class because they are not in a sport. This year there were many changes, beginning in the second semester students of the senior class got seniority by selecting their unit of study first. Physical education periods started off with students warming up by doing calisten- ics. This year males and females were split for this event. The females went to the wrestling room for privacy and to keep from disrupting the males, who worked much more intently when separated. Following calistenics, all students joined in the jogging of laps, which ranged anywhere from two to five times around the pit. Students elected a topic of study every four and a half weeks. Softball. tennis. recreational jogging. tumbling . floor games. volleyball, golf. badmitten. and bowling were just some of the choices.
