Extra! Extra! Read All About, Chieftain Editors! Sharron Laas f , Wu., Hectic hours of writing, re-writing and copyreading, tasks which often prove to be trying on one's nerves, never seem to phase Sharron Laas, co-editor of the RAVEN. With gentle gestures and mild manners, Sharron assists staffers with various problems that occur in producing a first quality newspaper. Though the RAVEN is Sharron's first concern, she finds time to participate in extracurricular activities as a mem- ber of the FTA, Student Council, National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll. Sharron's scholastic and leadership ability has won her the reputation of being quite a serious and level-headed young miss: however, she too has her lighter moods. Sharron has found that reading is an excellent solution for relaxing after a hard tedious job of planning and print- ing the paper. 22 Marleene Claridge Meticulous work and dependability are just a few of the outstanding qualities of stylish, blue-eyed Marleene Cla- ridge, co-editor of the RAVEN. She has served on the RAVEN staff for three years, last year as advertising manager. Like ITIOSI intelligent students, Marleene is unsatisfied with just one task. She is a mem- ber of the FTA, National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll and Student Council. Although she is continually busy with classes, Mar- leene's efforts to meet a deadline, write a headline or supervise a staffer is a typical sight in the publication room. Marleene, a spunky miss with shy personality,determir1- ation and unlimited talent, not only serves as editor of the paper and keeps up with school affairs, but also holds a part-time job in one of the local stores.
