Yearbook Demands Complete Effort The production of a good yearbook takes many months of careful plan- ning — more months than there are in a school year. Therefore the 1967 Expedition was being planned as early as the Spring of 1966. The staff at that time made the preliminary de- cisions which were necessary to begin the book. The color scheme, cover de- sign and number of pages were a few matters voted upon by last year ' s staff. This year ' s editors had to be elected prior to the school year. Mem- bers of last year ' s staff participated in electing Marlene Gunther, Editor- in-Qiief; Paul Reyes, Associate Editor and Sports Editor. The other exper- ienced Juniors were voted in as de- partment heads of the different sec- tions. In preparation for working on this year ' s yearbook, Marlene Gunther and Paul Reyes attended a summer seminar at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. They gained valuable knowl- edge concerning yearbook philosophy, and such technical aspects as layouts, photography, and copy. Perhaps the biggest job in yearbook production is photography. Picture ap- pointments must be set up, the pic- tures taken then developed and printed. They have to fit the proposed layout, be complimentary to the subjects, and still be technically sound. The most feared word to a staff member is: deadline. As the deadline draws near, the air tenses, each individual striving to complete his pages. However through cooperation among the mem- bers, with screaming, pulling hair, and the gnashing of teeth, problems are solved and the deadline is met. Every- one then relaxes and takes a breather before repeating the cycle for the next deadline. Upon approaching the end of the year, the staff again prepared themselves for the Expedition, only this time it was for 1968. Planning for the book started with the Spring elec- tion of editors, thus completing the 1967 Expedition. Members of the faculty section are Mary Wirsing, Arnette Ayotte, and Janice Molnar. An apple a day . . . . ' Many yearbook staffers combined their efforts in the development of the theme for the 1967 Expedition.

' Paw Prints ' Leaves Admirable Marks on Students The Paw Prints staff has worked diligently throughout the year in the monthly publication of the newspaper. These members not only scout the news and write it up, but they also do all their own planning of the paper. With special assistance from Mrs. Dorothy Gohl, printing supervisor, publications adviser, Mr. Howard Bon- dy and staff are ready to meet any problems that may arise. Covering the many events of a Northwestern school year is a major concern of the Paw Prints staff. They seek adequate coverage of these events for the benefit of all the readers. Through experience, the mem- bers have obtained the necessary skills required to work efficiently in pro- ducing the news for the paper. Hard work and ambition are two key factors which contributed to success of Paw Prints for 1966-61. Editor-in-Chief Carol Hresko, proofreads a feature page before sending it to the printers, Mrs. Dorothy Gohl and Staff. Mike Hall challenges Dawn Teachout ' s spelling on a front page article. Working together in the planning of Paw Prints are Bill Crane and Meg DeVoe. Wendy Jones, looking through other H.S. newspapers, gets new ideas for her exchange column. Managing Editor, Ruthanne Ahearne, types out a rough draft for the makeup dummy pages. Always striving for improvement, Char- leen Cook evaluates the finished prod- uct as it comes off the press. S3
