Deadline fever fills journalists MOST OBNOXIOUS? . . . Smiling at senior surveys, co-editors Mary Dixon and Connie Mines take time to giggle at some of the interesting answers to best dressed or most obnoxious, Improvement was the key ord for both yearbook and ewspaper publication staffs. Taking seriously the com- lents on their Columbia Scho- tstic Press Association cri- que, the yearbook staff tried to arrect errors, vary design, and nprove the photography. Even with the criticism, the earbook won a first place certi- cate in the CSPA rating con- ;st. Yearbook photographers at- mded a special workshop on amera and darkroom tech- iques at Tiffany Studios. Newspaper editors Mary •ixon and Connie Hines said Dais were to publish the paper ri a regular basis, to include tore student involvement, and ) print more pictures of stu- ents. Five newspaper staff mem- bers attended Journalism Day at Ball State University. Mary Dixon, by submitting a portfo- lio of her work, won a $ 1 50 jour- nalism scholarship in competi- tion with 32 students from other Indiana schools. Eight publications members attended summer workshops at Ball State, concentrating on editing, layout, writing, and photography. Literary editor Kathy Scott said, The work- shop made creating a yearbook really exciting. An informal atmosphere of good-natured teasing was usual in the yearbook room, even when the pressure was on. The ever-present deadlines had to be met, though. Midnight oil in 203 was not unusual, as faithful staff mem- bers testified.

Cutting the surface. Taking close look at life's wonders ■ at lifi Oh, it's just a little blood! It was also a little knowledge in the art of dissection. Both biology and anatomy students received practice at in- vestigating what makes living creatures tick. Biology classes worked with the physiological make-up of fish, worms, and frogs. Cats were the main attrac- tion in anatomy. The anatomy students also studied skeletal systems and muscle structure. The only dissection senior physics students dealt with was that of angles and light. We worked with mirrors and prisms when we studied light, commented Bob Orth. Experimentation was the name of the game in all the sci- ence classes, especially in the chemistry course. Writing up labs took a cer- tain finesse in recognizing er- rors to include in the discussion and conclusion sections. GENTLY NOW . . . Investigating the basics of anatomy, Kathy Brooks and Karilyn Tretter begin dissection. Chemistry students soon re- alized the best way to approach lab work was scientifically. They also discovered that it pays to pay attention in class. Whenever a student pwinted out an error that instructor Miss Mary Goebes made on the board, they were awarded the infamous fiub-stub. A set of five fiub-stubs gave the holder an exemption from doing one lab and counted for ten points (the most possi- ble). Eighth grade students were given an introductory course in electrical circuits as part of the new elementary program. They were introduced to am- peres, current, voltage, and re- sistance measurements. Many of the junior high schoolers even picked up on de- ciding the direction of electron fiow. FLUB-STUB! . . . Checking the equa- tion for Graham's Law of Diffusion. Miss Goebes avoids getting corrected. ARTISTIC TOUCH! . . . Drawing dia- grams of whole and dissected worms, biology students add creativity.
