Below Looking over copy for the next issue are Dan Nortwen and Steve Nelson. Radical editor heads Tale staff Heading the staff of The Robin’s Tale, the school newspaper, was the somewhat radical Editor-in-Chief. Steve A. Nelson. Nelson, along with News editor Kathy Starmack, Feature Editor Dan Nortwen, Sports Editor Jim Anderson and Photography Editors Ross Allanson and Ted Berquam, generally found themselves much in demand after the release of each of the eleven issues published throughout the school year, and spent most of their free time wearing dark sunglasses and turned up collars, in flight from various members of the staff. faculty, and student body. Highlights of the 1979-80 Tale volume included the columns, “Archer’s,” by Steve Nelson, and “Question Marks” which was replaced by Jim Anderson’s “Athlete’s Foot” column in November. Improved graphics and consistency made for what proved to be the most outstanding Tale volumes since the mid 1960’s. Above. Robins Tale Staff. Sports Editor Jim Anderson. Feature Editor Dan Nortwen.

Business Manager Miss Marianna Anderson with the help of Michele Smith count yearbook payments. Neophyte staff battles deadlines An eager, neophyte staff worked long hours to report and record the year’s activities at RHS. Selecting a theme, planning the ladder, choosing color, and learning to follow journalistic rules were problems the staff undertook. Meeting deadlines was a bane for writers and photographers as scheduled events and plans went awry. Business Manager Marianna Anderson took subscriptions for Robin 80 in October and 1125 copies of the yearbook were sold at a cost of $12. Art teacher Don Kvam was the editorial advisor for the young, inexperienced staff. Above left top. Advisor Mr. Don Kvam doesn't seem overly pleased with the layout shown him by the assistant to the advisor, Doug Rask. Above.
