Loggers write By Jill Haning y y he Northmen's LOG cranked out twelve issues this year with the first issue on the first day of school, and resulting in many awards and feelings of satisfaction for the staff, LOG was, for the fourth year in a row, named All-Missouri by the Missouri interscholastic Press Association. Also individual awards were given to September Green, Co-editor and Kerry Hawkins, Sports editor. Sep- tember received third place for her story on teen drinking and Kerry received second place for her sports feature on Dr. Dan Kahler's friendship with athlete Jim Thorpe. The title of top journalist in Clay County was bestowed upon Co- editor Joe Gately by the 'lKansas City Star and Tlmes. Joe said, ul was very much 222 Loe 5 honored. lt gave me the confidence to now pursue a Journalism career because a professional journalist liked my work. The LOG staff consisted of eleven students and their advisor, lvlr. Bill Hankins. Each member of the staff had his own beat that he patrolled regularly. When they found a news- worthy upcoming event, they report- ed it at a staff meeting. Then the staff made the decision of what was to be covered in the next issue. Some of the Journalism Basics students assisted the Log staff. The students helped in covering the beats, and they got some experience by writing stories. Caryn Kennedy, business man- ager, attributed a lot of LOG's improvement to the J-Basics students.

The night before the printing of each issue the Loggers spend approx- imately eight hours at the Dispatch putting on the finishing touches.
