Valhalla Produces True C assic ights, camera, action! The first day of school sent the cameras rolling, snapping pictures of the stars of the l986-87 Valhalla. People are the center of the ac- tion. Whether they were rooting at a football game or yelling to support their class at a pep assembly, pho- tographers and copywriters were there to capture the moment. Writers were spilling over with creativity. They brightened their features with interviews and quotes. Photography played a major role in the Valhalla. Modern layouts al- lowing for larger photographs sent photographers in search of the per- fect action shot. The photographers' job was often more difficult than re- alized. Seeing the photographer, and not the football, get tackled while striving for a great shot would put things into perspective. One of the main goals of Produ- cerfAdvisor Patty Prado was to un- ify the staff. Daily sessions of sitting in a circle, sharing pet peeves and embarassing moments was an effec- tive method. As a result, the staff got to know each other as friends and co-workers. Careful planning of the budget al- lowed the staff to make good use of color, modern graphics and type styles. When the hard work of rehearsal was over, opening night had finally arrived. The Valhalla Staff eagerly awaited the sound of applause and the critics' reviews at the sight of a true classic, the I987 VALHALLA.

With the experience of the adviser, Mar- sha Piercey, the staff enthusiasti- cally faced the 86-87 school year with hopes. First of all, some changes were made. The traditional Shield became the Viking Shield. The next change was in their format. The paper went from magazine style to a full tabloid format, which was not only more eco- 96 Shield : ' 1 1 - --un iv ' l 1'1- Pnanie Santo, Freda Everett, Eric llk2lTsllilflnNllT:l'eihell?lTl' Chris Patten' Shea ml . 0 anda Shaw.

The writing style was also improved due to Ms. Piercey who, according to Copy Editor Kelly McBroom, taught the staff what journalism really is. Paul McKelvey, Editor-in-Chief claimed they had plenty of po- tential on the staff to be the best paper in the state. The staff spent the year preparing for the Washington Press Association banquet, in hopes of being recog- nized as the state's best school publication. with Style
