J. Skov, Miss Meyers, R. Sims. With Rick Sims and Jeff Skov as co-editors-in-chief, and Marilyn Bunker, Eric Southmayd, and Penny West as the exchange, sports, and feature editors respectively, and with Miss Gladys Meyer as Advisor, the Redwood Bark has taken on a new liveliness, exemplified by such things as the all school Picture Unscrambling Contest. Once criticized for avoiding all controversial issues, the Bark came out with an Election 1960', issue. At the Stanford journalism Conference, the Burk was judged as one of the most mature papers represented. A group of regular columns make up the backbone of the paper. Only one, On the Sidelines has been carried over from last year. The rest- Clothes Horse, Periscope, Exchange, and On Cam- pus -are products of the Bark staff's originality and imagination. This list of regular columns is supplemented by the reporting of interesting events and personali ties, both on and off campus. The Bark staff delves into all matters that are of interest to the major- ity of the student body. They report the unknown events that should be of interest to everyone. A cross section of the student body's opinion is revealed in Letters to the Editor. They give the news of the various clubs and activities at Redwood and keep the student body in touch with their elected leaders. The quality of this reporting makes all Redwood students eager to receive their copy of the tri-weekly paper. B. Farr, V. Carroll, M. Bunker, E. Southmayd, P. West. 1 wa 1 it it an

'Rs Typewriters were humming busily. Eyes were frantical- ly scanning pages checking for spelling errors at the last minute. Minds were searching desperately for clever ideas. Over all hung the largest threat known to members of the Log staff, the Final Deadline drew near!! Pen in hand, the editor, Bonnie Weaver, and her as- sistant, Tom Farley, were diligently drawing up plans discarding the old for the new. Constructive criticism was offered by the advisor, Miss Patricia Pendergast- Oops! Change that heading! Staff members were assigned spe- cific jobs: Typing, endless papers, identifying pictures of apparently nameless people, writing clever captions, and drawing original layouts. The Ad section proved to be a preplexing problem, which ambitious salesmen solved. much to the relief of Ad Editor, Sandra Norberg, and Financial Advisor, Mr. C. G. jones. A new section had been added, the 1961 Section. Activi- ties involving students were being recognized as major events, earning a special section in the book. The trend toward bigger and better things was reflected not only in the expanding student body, but also in the enlarged Club Section. Utilizing avant-garde trend, modern pho- tography, modern lettering, modern cartoons, and modern write-ups were selected to appeal to the sophisticated eye. As the Hnal bell rung, the bleary-eyed class members filed out slowly, dragging their feet, feverishly discussing new ideas. Thus, the 1961 Log was created, ' g 4 , G 1961 T.
