The Seniors proudly present THE 1970 SHOCOM These Seniors shared the responsibility of producing this yearbook. SEATED: Linda Qualkenbush, Debbie Kidwell, and Linda Stringer, Co-editors. STANDING: Eva Terry, Business Manager, Mary Ellen Weller, Classes Editor, Norma George and Geneva French, Elementary Editorsg Liz Harding and Kay Lee, Activities Editorsg Marcy The 1970 SHOCOM Staff is proud to present an annual in which it has tried to capture a few of the precious moments of school life that have passed by so quickly. We hope, too, that this yearbook will be a reminder of the many happy days that you have spent in The Shoals Community Schools. A number of people wonder how each member of the Staff was chosen. On September 8, 1969, all interested seniors were to have their letters of application submitted to Mrs. Cooper telling why they wanted the positions and why they thought they were qualified. Each person on the Staff is responsible for his section. In addition to preparing their own pages, the Co-editors proofread all material before submitting it to Paragon Press for publication. The Classes Editor prepares all copy for grades 9, 10, and 11. Senior Editors compile all of the information about Seniors. The Organizations Editor edits all information for all organizations having elected officers. The Activities Editors are responsible for all items of school life and acti- vities that lend color and make the school dis- tinctive. Our two Sports Editors plan the arrange- ments and photographs for the entire Sports section. The responsibility of the Business Manager is to keep records of income and expense and to Lindley, Organizations Editor, Mark Jenkins and Donna Ragsdale, Sports Editors, Linda Holt, Faculty Editor, Kathy Stiles and Cathy Sims, Advertising Editorsg Brenda Arthur, Photography Editor, Mrs. Agnes Cooper, Advisorg and Linda Peek and Darlene Pinnick, Senior Editors. prepare copy for grades 6, 7, and 8. Elementary Editors prepare the copy for grades 1 through 5 with proper identification of the individuals. The Faculty Editor writes information about all the teachers in The Shoals Community Schools. Advertising Editors sell advertisements to different companies, prepare the ads for the annual, and col- lect all money for the Advertising section. The Photography Editor takes candid shots of school activities and prepares the snapshot pages. Now you have an idea of the determination and many, many hours of hard work that it takes to make a yearbook a success. One should also realize that being a member of the Staff gives one great educational value in the field of the publishing business and also training in general business methods. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the companies and business firms for purchasing advertisements to make this yearbook a reality. We would also like to thank the faculty for their cooperation and encouragement and especially Mrs. Cooper for her patience and many hours of time that she willingly devoted to us. If this annual gives you but one moment of pleasure, we have accomplished our goal.
