Totem Poll Reflects Student Life Rickards' newspaper, the Totem Poll, was pub- lished and distributed to students twice a month. lt was the first year that the newspaper was sold, as in the past it was given to all students. The Totem Poll received the award for having the most outstanding newspaper in category one in the state from the Miami l-lerald. i967 was the first year that any Rickards publication had ever entered a contest or critical service. The Totem Poll also re- ceived a First Class rating from the National Scholas- tic Press Association. The staff, which consisted of students in their second year of iournalism, spent many long hours rushing to meet deadlines. First year students aided, writing special features, running ads, selling ads, and performing various odd jobs. The co-editors-in- chief organized and helped appoint positions on the staff. Some of the many projects the Totem Poll spon- sored were dances held at the school, bake sales, a rummage sale, the school calendar, the student handbook, and the student directory. The proceeds were split with the Anumpa. Positions on the staff are, Pat Little, Mike Wright, co-editor-in-chiefs', Terrie Terrell, advertising man- ager, David Stoutamire, managing editor, Debra Benson, news editor, Willadeane Watson, assistant news editor, Billie .lean Twitty, sports editor, Barbara Grimes, feature editor, Lynda Barineau, assistant fea- ture editor, Thomas Tyrell, photographer, Ernest Moody, editorial editor, Joyce Warner, assistant editorial editor, Edward Johnson, business and cir' culation manager, Wanda West, Mike Dufresne, news staff, Mrs. Ann Pitts, adviser. i f 'nf it Yu 'ts-...
