ANNUAL STAFF IS THE NAME OF THE GAME The Statesman staff had a busy year meeting deadlines and waiting to move into the new journalism department. This summer,-lune 25-30, the staff attended yearbook camp at Texas A8fM. The theme for our dummy yearbook was Monopoly and a jail cell was made with miniature characters of each staff member placed inside. This won first place in table decoration. Other awards won were by Greg Meyer and Randy Adrian. Each won 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in the photo- graphy division. Robynn Frazier won 3rd place in Ads and Pat Salinas placed 2nd in faculty, New mem- bers were taught to crop pictures, draw layouts and to write interesting copies. Other activities at camp in- cluded pie, shaving cream, bean dip, shorts pulling and water balloon fights. The camp provided such ac- tivities as swimming, a softball game, and a barbeque. After a full week of Hragging out , it ended in a friendly pizza party and dance.
