The Richland Spanish Depart- ment was alive and kicking again this year. The Spanish Club had several meetings, as well as a Halloween party and a Christmas party. The group visited a Spanish church in November, too. The department also took their annual Mexico trip. This year they journied to Mexico City. This was the first time the group visited Mex- ico City since 1969. Along with Mexico City, the members visited Taxco, Teotihuacan, and Al- capulco. The main pupose of the trip was to learn more about Mex- ican culture and to get a chance to speak with native Mexicans.

Plczgzzed by incefmn! problemf and inexperieme, the two pzzblimtiom fmjjfr managed to This years publications depart- ment was faced with many difficult problems. The yearbook staff was one of the smallest and most in- experienced staffs in a long time. There were only four returning staff members this year, due to the fact that the majority of last years staff members were seniors. However, they tried to hold together and over- come their problems. The publication's department in- cludes yearbook, newspaper, and photography staffs. Every member of each staff took on the respon- sibility of helping people remember classmates, friends, teachers, events, and special moments that took place during the year. The newspaper staff members were responsible for publishing a newspaper every three weeks. Each member was assigned a separate beat, which covered weekly events that happened in various organiza- tions such as choir, athletics, and drama. They were also responsible for getting ads that helped finance the paper. When I came into the jour- Previewing the latest issue of the Reveille, Craig Lancaster f12l enjoyed it and his lunch.

Yearbook staff members were in charge of collecting the highlights of the year and compiling them into one book. The book was to cover clubs organizations, and classes. lt has improved my vocabulary a great deal. As the sports editor for the yearbook, l've learned about things that l never knew before - like football, said Karen Laird f11J. Members were also resposible for selling the yearbooks at the begin- ning of the school year. Each person was assigned different spreads. In order to complete the spread it was necessary for the staff member to interview the people involved in that particular organization, and find out what activities went on with that group. They then wrote copy ex- plaining that specific club's activities or team's record. Pictures also had to be requested of the photogra- phers for each spread. When all of these things came together the spread would be complete. Photographers played a very im- portant role in both yearbook and newspaper staff.

Photograpers learned to take and develope pictures and build their skills in photography. l always thought it would be neat to have my pictures in a yearbook. l'm really glad l got on the photography staff. l've learned a lot about the camera and responsibility. l have also met a lot of people l would have never knownf' said Jennifer Minze f11l. .
