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.
