AWARENESS If it happened, the Esprit covered it, and not a single story was ... Passed Up ho fills you in on the lat- est thing before its old news? The Esprit. Any- thing that interests you. the journalism crew is there to cover it. But it doesn't stop there. Before work is begun on a new issue, brain- storming is done and ideas are intro- duced. Page editors are assigned and change every issue to give each an opportunity to experience the re- sponsibility. After the pictures are taken and interviews done, stories must be written and edited. Photos are chosen and cropped, and then it comes; the dreaded paste-up. During the final days of prepara- tion long hours are spent during and after school piecing the paper to- gether for printing. Page editors re- duce or add to stories, move photos, and do anything else necessary to fit the myriads of information in the limited eight pages of space. When the finished copies are passed out, the rewards are endless. Michele Sheehy explained, So much work and pride goes into the paper you feel great when its complete.” Once the papers are passed out, the staff can sit back, relax for an entire min- ute, and then begin work on the next issue. The Esprit staff consists of two jour- nalism classes taught during first and second period by adviser Karyn Neujahr. The first class is for students with one or more years experience in journalism and the second class is for first year journalists. While first peri- od is primarily responsible for the production of the Esprit, second pe- riod contributes substantially. Many individuals do a great deal for the paper but it takes the whole team to produce such a quality paper. By Aaron Francis. Piece by piece.

The master copy has to be carefully checked to be sure the final pnnting has no errors. Paste-up is really tough, but at the same time, you know it means you're almost done, explained Rich.
