Change Brings Efficiency To Yearbook Change marked this depart- ment with separation of the yearbook and newspaper into different hours with different advisers. Using job editors was a new ap- proach to yearbook staffing which proved successful at the Kansas Scholastic Press Associ- ation Regional Journalism Contests in February at WSU. Those placing first were Mary Ellen Smith, Roger O’Neal and Liz Holm. Placing third were Deb Gillet in two events, Don- na Bloomer and Marsha Gray- beal. This was more qualifiers from one staff than from both staffs in the three years of com- peting. In March these students, except Liz Holm, participated in the KSPA State Contest at Law- rence. Roger O’Neal returned with the first place trophy in photography for 1A-2A-3A schools. YEARBOOK STAFF: Row 1: Mrs. Doro- thy Rucker-adviser, Marsha Graybeal-lay- out editor, Kathy Meirowsky-copy editor, Liz Holm-typist, Mary Ellen Smith-cut- line editor. Row 2: Carnella Bloomer-de- sign editor, Donna Bloomer-editor-in- chief, Roger O’Neal-photographer, Deb Gillet-headline editor and artist. Row 3: Dee Krause-typist, Dave Clark-photogra- pher. With proof of his abilities as a fine pho- tographer, Roger O’Neal returns to his seat with his first place trophy at the KSPA State Contest. Putting together a good yearbook means working together as a staff and also being able to work individually. There are deadlines that have to be met and sometimes things can get a little confusing. Donna Bloomer and Kathy Meirowsky look for a particular page envelope while Mrs. Rucker does the final check on a layout. 8

Many late night hours were spent to make changes in “The Blue- Print.” The biggest change was in the headline composition.The lo- cal newspaper editor was gracious enough to allow the staff to use his Compugraphic to set their head- lines. This created a more uniform look. Using a larger staff and section editors with reporters, the paper had a more in-depth approach. This specialization helped Nancy Hall, Russ Ediger and Kim Shaw to qualify at Kansas Scholastic Press Association Regional Con- test in February. Kim won second in Newspaper Makeup for 1A-2A- 3A schools at state competition in March. In September both staffs toured Newton’s Mennonite Free Press and the Wichita Eagle-Beacon.
