8 Working on the yearbook involved extra planning for advanced journal- ism students. Four students toured the Josten's!American yearbook plant - ser . sen? sf Q ILA fs .. 'W i,s,5f. at Clarksville, Tenn., in the summer months. Examining a layout are ffrom OHS has four publications. Each one is separate and unique, but to- gether they provide an outlet for stu- dents to express themselves and learn more about other students through their expressions. ' There is a lot of time and effort involved in the printing of a year- book, the largest OHS publication. For example: typing, identifying stu- dent pictures, indexing names, selling ads, taking pictures and thinking up new ideas are all a part of completing the 248-page yearbook. The editor of the 1977-78 Owens- boroan was Junior Brent Price. Junior Stacy Elliott and Senior Kelly Keo- hane served as associate editors. The whole idea of a yearbook was summed up by Price: The sole job of a yearbook is to bring to life, and keep from dying, a year that had special and personal meanings to each stu- dent It's impossible to capture all the important moments that pass by in the year, but we try. The 1977 Owensboroan was named the Best Overall High School year- book in the Mark of Excellence competition at Western Kentucky 481 Publications University. Advanced Mass Communications students had the responsibility of supplying material for both the Owensboroan and The Scoop, the stu- dent newspaper. Senior Judy Kirk was the Scoop edi- tor. This is the first time in recent years that a person has been Scoop editor for two consecutive years. She summed up her views on the Scoop by saying: A high school newspaper of- fers much to the average student. Through the Scoop, outlets for stu- dent opinion and editorials are pro- vided. Our stories ranged from inves- tigative reporting of relevant issues to the more off-beat features. Other Scoop editors were: Junior Marsha Tanner, who was the 11-12 Associate Editorg and Sophomore Cin- dy Richards, who was the 9-10 Associ- ate Editor. The Scoop was distributed free to all students at both centers. Advertis- ing paid for the 2,600 copies printed each month. Sophomore Sonya Webb won a first place prize in the competition at Western.

Ethos is the creative arts magazine written and published by OHS stu- dents. It is a combination of prose, poetry, art and music. The publication was sponsored by Mrs. Suzanne Willis, the 11-12 Eng- lish Department head. It is valuable in that it gives recog- nition to people who maybe don't get it anywhere else, said Mrs. Willis. The editors of the 1977-78 Ethos were Seniors Laura Neudecker and Aimee Newberry. Scribbles is a literary magazine that includes prose and poetry from kin- dergarten through grade 12 in the City Schools. Ann Fortson was the literary advis- er of Scribbles. Peggy Lashbrook was the art adviser. The literary editors of the 1977-78 Scribbles were Phyllis Robinson and Janet Crooks. The art editors were Kim Nicholson and Alan Snyder. - By Kelly Keohane
