Sp, , r ,Q I Literary Magazine staff prepare the layouts for the magazine. Below: Totem Talk staff members prepare for a deadline. The TOTEM TALK, like the THUNDERBIRD, also has its share of student opinions. As one student said of the bi-monthly newspaper, 'Alt gets better every year. This year is no exception. Under the direction of advisor Mrs. Bonnie McDade, there has been a change of format. An example of this was the article on cheating in the school. Another change was in the layout of the paper including the title box. Ads Written to God From Dear God classified ads to completely serious editorials, the staff covers all aspects of current student life. One editorial on the student's role in an inactive school raised quite a controversy. One of the main points of the article was the faculty-student relationship. Bob Lutgen had this to say about it: UI think the editorial awakened Sammamish to what was, and what was not going on in the school. I also think that the editorial had something to do with the Student Advisory Council being formed. All members of the staff work on writing stories, editing, and obtain- ing advertising contracts. According to Donna Murphy, the ads are one of the most important parts of the newspaper because they serve a dual purpose. They help the businesses who purchase them and they also help to defray the expenses of printing. In this way they can print up any extra pages they might want for a special edition. The staff is headed by Bob Lutgen. Other people in top positions are Managing Editor, Donna Murphy: News Editor, Maryann Nowak: Business Manager, Bev Cameron: and Advertising Manager, Judy Paasch. The one publication of Sammamish the students never complain about is the literary magazine. The staff accepts all contributions from students and uses a good percentage of them in the magazine. The literary magazines main purpose is to let the students of Sam- mamish express themselves creatively. Of the arty things in the book, the collographs were contributed by the Art 1 classes. This was the first year that art has played a large part in the book. Amongst other pieces there was an abstract picture of a Brain Drain by Jeff Adams. In the poetry section of the publication, Tom Muench contributed poems labeled Munch a Bunch of Muench. This year's editor is Mary Barger. Other members of the staff include Tammy Dworkin, Kathy Childers, David Barger, Sharon Oviatt, Ralph Heiner, Bob Buchmier, Connie Borgford, Janine Shinkosky, Andy Yeaman, Janet Thompson and Carol Johnson.
