Journalism More Than Just a Class To some people journalism simply means putting together the school yearPook and pub- lishing the newspaper, but journalism is more than that. It takes a lot of sticktoitiveness, dedication, and pure craziness to cope with the difficulties that arise throughout the year. If it wasn ' t for our patient advisor, Marti Oakeson, who put up with stupid jokes and dumb excuses for unfinished or un- started copy, the yearbook would never have been com- pleted, and the newspaper would never have met one deadline. Also supporting the editors were the reporters, the photo- grapher, and the money- makers. Without them nothing could have been accomplished since a competent staff was needed to obtain copy, pic- tures, and financing. Although the reporters may have com- plained about having to rewrite and retype copy five or six times, or the photographer had to retake and redevelop pic- tures again and again, the THE JOURNALISM CLASS, includ- ing Hermie, tried to look presentable and be on their best behavior for the camera. ALICIA KOSTBAHN edits out yet another blooper during a last minute rush to finish the 1982 ' Senior Saga . Alicia spent many hours gathering and compiling information from the seniors while Robb Bjork- land designed and illustrated the annual publication. 16 Journalism
