my 6 Rough Rider editor Amy Sanzi even has time for a smile as she prepares to publish the school’s paper. ROUGH RIDER “All I know is what I read in the papers.” Editor Amy Sanzi and associate editors Linda Karson and Gail Golloway and their devoted staff keep Will Rogers’ quote in mind when working on the Rough Rider. They try to produce as many papers as time and money will allow to keep the student body and fac- ulty informed on “‘what’s happening.” Under the sponsorship of Miss Thelma McAndless, the staff attempts to write the news as it happens. When important events occur, the reporters go to work, their cameras start snapping, the type- writers click, the copy editors write, and the editors proofread, and finally the presses roll. Rough Rider staff members begin to scale walls, whenever a dead- line approaches.

1968 ECHO Grinds Out Copy After months of hard work, worry about sales, and near panic over dead- lines, the Echo staff succeeded in putting out a 1968 yearbook. The staff, headed by Suzy LaRue and Harold Tripp, spent long hours on production. Despite the many problems that sprang up through- out the year, they still managed to carry their project to completion. Other mem- bers of this year’s staff included: pho- tographer—Wylie Zickgraf; business manager—Nelson Wood; seniors— Betsy Bryan, Barb Campbell; sports—Mike Washington, Dave Gessert; faculty Pat Wadke; underclassmen—John Dusbiber. Co-editors Suzy LaRue and Doug Tripp reveal one of their many funny experiences in the production of the 68 ECHO. Echo staff members take time off from their daily business 22 to sing a chorus of “Jingle Bells.’ Please don’t ask why.
