Work on the book, which began last spring, included awarding publisher and photography contracts. The editors and second year staffers attended the New Mexico interscholastic Press Assn. work- shop at the University of New Mexico in August, collecting new ideas in year- booking. Approximately 1,700 books were or- dered during the annual subscription drive, and 'IOO additional books were ordered to be sold in May. Rising pub- lishing costs forced the staff to increase the price by 52. Techniques in picture cropping, page design and writing headlines and copy were introduced to the first year stu- dents. Using these techniques, they worked during the week, on weekends and on holidays. In the past H years the Crest has received seven A+ ratings, three A's and one B+ from the National School Yearbook Assn., a national evaluation service. f,

Sandian continues to receive top ratings Experimenting with the use of more pic- tures and different layouts, the Sandian staff worked to maintain the excellence of the paper. More emphasis than before was placed on the Letters to the Editor column, and for the third year editorial cartoons were a special feature of the paper. The Sandian staff published and had printed by offset approximately 2,500 copies. The nine staff members distributed the monthly issue, including four specials, The first was a pre-school issue, given out to every student. The other 'Q- Aix specials were published at Christmas and in the spring, while the Commencement special recorded the close of the school year. Distribution of the Roto, a small ro- togravure section passed out in addition to the newspaper, was stopped by a vote of the student body because of the cost. All but one of the staffers attended the New Mexico Interscholastic Press Assn. workshop held in August at the University of New Mexico. Here the staffers made plans for the 1969-70 edition. The Sandian continued to lead in the -1 1 l 5 , 4 Q number of honors in the New Mexico High School Press Assn. for the eleventh straight year as TO writing awards were won, and a new photography category was added. The first semester the Sandian was rated All American, the highest rating any paper can have, by the National Scholastic Press Assn. During the second semester the paper was rated First Class in a revision of the national awards program. Sponsoring the Sandian for the twelfth year was Miss Jo Boughton. x i' '2fii:?9W S?
