32Hournalism News Flash . . . Staff meets deadlines Deadlines, deadlines, and that final looked-forward-to deadline. The journalism staff has been responsible for putting out our school news for the last eighteen years. The last five years have been under the direction of adviser, Sharon Gentry. In the last five years, the school newspaper has had its name changed once. Up until last year l198D, the name of the paper was R.P. News. The staff then decided to change it to Panther Times. The staff looks for stories and news and types them up in a special form. The staff then makes up a dummy and sends it off to Cass County Publisher in Harrisonville where the original typing is set into copy and pictures are made into half-tones suitable for printing purposes. Copy is then sent back to the staff to be waxed up and prepared camera ready. Then it is returned to the publisher where the final step is completed - publication of 3000 copies. But wait a minute, the real final step is passing the copies out to the students at all Raymore- Peculiar schools, mailing forty copies to other exchange schools, and delivering copies at the two grocery stores in Peculiar and Raymore. Like all other clubs and organizations, the newspaper staff had its money-making pro- jectsf'ttoo. The newspaper staff helped the yearbook staff sell posters featuring the entire student body at an assembly. The joint efforts of the two staffs were used again to sell carna- tions around Valentine's DAy. The staff went to a journalism regional workshop in Warrensburg. Here they partici- pated in contests and seminars. A couple of members also went to a summer workshop in Columbia for a week. Here they broadened their knowledge of journalism techniqUes. Beth Todd, Jon Ament, Nancy LinscottiMike Raisbeck, Jennifer Rogers, and Debra Watts work steadily to meet the newspaper deadline. Here they are laying out a page. e XWZW;WQ , r M e QWMW y , T he rercMM ' X94W e , MwM , 4 X??9X WV 0 4y 7X9 iz' yo ngng??0?
