48 Whispers Larger staff has no less Work The Whispers staff published the 24-page school literary magazine which sold for one dollar. It's not as big as last year's but just as much work went into it, said Chip Hadley, editor. We had a big problem at the beginning of the year because a number of people quit the staff.

Other staff members were Noel Eickbusch, senior, Brenda Evans, senior, Erica Eynouf, senior, Jenny Ford, senior, Bobby Garcia, sophomore, Stefan Knight, sophomore, Ann Lesko, senior, Tammy Pfluger, senior, Dan Schulke, junior, and artist Brian Bucher, senior. . swf M rf? ii. for their own Whispers magazine.
