NEWSPRINT — Vehicle of Communication, Information The school paper underwent an experimental year; switching to tabloid size and decreasing the amount of time between publications. The classic purposes of a school newspaper are to inform and entertain. Newsprint has always been highly informative — covering all aspects of school news and coming events. This year, feature stories, interviews, and special columns were more in evidence as the paper attempted to explore student interest, activities and humor toa fuller extent. Newsprint is printed on an offset process. Each issue from the writing of stories to the pasting-up of copy takes approximately two weeks to complete. The paper is staffed by advanced and first year journalism students. The advisor is Miss Julie McMahon. Above left: Editor-in-chief Debbie Schulte and a close friend.

Facets of Journalism Combine to Produce Yearbook The most effective method of journalistic communication is the utilization of both photography and print to get the message across. A yearbook is a fine example of student photojournalism. The production of the book is the result of four staffs — Business, including advertising and subscriptions; Layout, responsible for the design and appearance of the pages; Copy, encompassing appearance of the pages; Copy, encompassing all written work in the book; and Photography which takes, develops and selects which pictures will appear in Lore. Working intensely in their own areas, the staffs ultimately combine to produce the finished page. Co-editors.in chief are Peggy Mangold and Mary Long. Photography editor is Roseanne Hebeler. Ellen Reno is in charge of Layout and Paula Gribbs is head of the business staff. Upper left: Co-editor Peggy Mangold glances through an exchange yearbook. Upper right: Co-editor Mary Long.
