News Bureau, Northwest's link with local and city newspapers, provided such an outlet for senior Bonnie Salmon. I really get a lot of satisfaction working on News Bureau, she said. Our iob is to give credit to all deserving stu- dents-not just the 'big names' that are always written about. News Bureau director Konnie Hornsby, iunior, added that it was sometimes hard for students to realize how much copy was actually written be- cause what was printed depended on the editors of each paper. Students' imaginative thoughts received attention in Northwest Passages, an annual anthology of student writings. With the ex- ception of editor-in-chief, who was appointed by Mrs. Doris Bradford, adviser, staff members were se- lected by ballot in sophomore and iunior English classes. Editor Nancy Harris, junior, explained the literary magazine's new format: We used pages of photography and quota- tions from David Burk's poem 'Re- flections' to divide the book into sections. The poem was used as our central theme and was written out entirely in the middle of the book. VANGUARD, with adviser Mrs. Gwen Mannweiler, took an original approach to reporting the history of the year through the use of a magazine format and a theme deal- ing with the the entire students' life rather than only its school-related aspects. ln order to better repre- sent the entire scope of a student's life, said editor Steve Gano, sen- ior, we are using more graphics and a freer design than every I before. To clarify the fact that Telstar was a student paper, the staff added to their masthead: Opinion expressed are not necessarily those of the school administration. Sen- ior Scott Daniels, fall editor-in-chief explained, We changed the make- up of Telstar from a traditional style to one which arranges type into blocks and panels so as to create a more appealing paper. Revised staff appointments made by spring editor, Fred Miller, senior, and adviser James Ray attempted to make the paper's production more eFficient. 109

Students experimented with sight and sound to express themselves with speech and debate, audio-vis- ual activities, and radio and tele- vision broadcasting. Although debating has always taken a back seat to speech at Northwest, Mrs. Betty Fryer, Eng- Iish teacher, organized the schooI's first debate team. Formed from stu- dents of her speech classes, the team competed with novice and ad- vanced teams from surrounding schools as well as intramurally to gain experience in the new area. Members of the audio-visual club, sponsored by Norman Tripp, industrial arts teacher, Iearnedlthe intricate procedures of operating closed-circuit taping instruments. Other groups benefitted from the cIub's activities, tapes of Pioneer Player rehearsals, football and bas- ketball games, and marching band and Silverettes performances helped the groups realize and cor- rect their errors. Applied radio and television, a two-credit vocational course taught at the Indianapolis Public Schools' Instructional Broadcast Center, pre- pared Charles Van Sant and Kevin Huston, seniors, for future work in broadcasting. They drove to the center each day to work with the studio's cameras, video consoles, and radio equipment for IPS radio station WIAN and video tapes for the use of the public schools. The purpose of the course, said Charles, is to take people who know little or nothing about broad- casting and make them broadcasters. 110 lol Vocational radio and tele- vision students Kevin Huston and Charles Van Sant, sen- iors, examine news bulletins at IPS radio station WIAN. lbj Debating national high school debate topic-l'Re- solved: that the fury system in the United States should be significantly changed -soph- omores John Teskey and Jerry Douglas listen to a Brebeuf debater while Kathy Kirpis, sophomore, keeps track of time. lcl Performing one of the duties of an audio-visual de- partment worker, senior David Skinner distributes equipment to classrooms for use the fol- lowing day.
