EXTRA! EXTRA! Read All About It This paper was not against “all odds” but it did start the year with a disadvan- fage — an almost completely new staff! Mattie Cheatham was rhe Editor of the staff; she brought experience and leadership to the other staffers. ZeEster Clyatt, Linda Wright, and Tracey Copeland were indispensible in the amount of work they accomplished. The Advisor, Eleanor Taylor, gave a short rundown of the paper from cover to back: News — ‘We did a good job in covering what is going on, considering the limited staff. The writing was also ex- ceptionally good.’ Editorials — ‘This was one of our weaker sections. We did not have as much response from the students as we have had before.’ Features — ‘| would have fo rate this section fair. Jeff Rutherford’s music col- umn was good, and there was a lot of variety, but writing lacked.’’ Soorts — “This was a stranger section as far as coverage goes. With such a limited number of papers printed per quarter, we may wind up having an entire foot- ball season in just one issue. There was just too much compositing to be done.” Club News — “| would have to rate this fair. With such a limited stoff it is difficult to get to every club covered. We had to rely on the clubs to get the informa- tion to us. Sometimes, we would wind up getting information through the grapevine. | only wish clubs would do more to help us our.” The Patri-Article received a first place award at the GSPA. Reginald Reeves placed first in the writing category. Mat- tie Cheatham won the Golden Eagle Award sponsored by the Macon Telegraph and News, and she was also Editor of the Teen Page. ZeEster Clyatt was busy campaigning in her bid for President of student GSPA, which she won. All ‘odds’ considered, the staff did an excellent job. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Patri-Article Staff.
