Yearbook Faces The Future The yearbook staff was faced with the question should the yearbook be continued. Due to the high cost of printing the book, low student involvement, and a decrease in the total number of books sold, the school board questioned the future of the yearbook. In order to prove that the book was worthwhile, staff members had to work ex- tremely hard. This meant learning how to put a year- book together from scratch for all but three members. Staff organization was done differently this year. Inexperienced students were assigned a general area such as copy or layout so they could become good a that phase of producing a book. All the members sold patron support to keep the students’ cost of the book down. 1. Yes. Dean, you may have a sip. says Kiteena Larkin. 2. Sara Gennett keeps her year- book supplies in a handy place. 3. The PTA gives $50 to help keep costs down. 4. YEARBOOK —ROW 1: Kiteena Larkin. Vicki Scharbarth. Brenda Langreck. ROW 2. Paula Darge.

Computers Take Over The Press Room For the first time, the SHS Press took advantage of printing their bi- monthly paper on computers using a word processing program. The computers made things run smooth- er because they automatically ad- justed margins and made editing easier. In the fall the staff received third place at a contest put on by the Wisconsin Chippewa Valley School Press Association. Press members consisted of students from the Mass Media Intro Journalism and Ad- vanced Journalism classes. Volun- teer members were also involved. 1. PRESS STAFF — ROW 1: Corey Schultz. Jim Wells.

Masque and Bauble produced two two-act plays during the year. In November a melodrama entitled “Virtue Triumphant of Her Honour in Peril” was performed in front of a full house. For the second perfor- mance extra chairs had to be set up. The cast did such a super job that evening that the audience was literally falling off their chairs into the isles with laughter. For a change of pace. Director Mrs. Rannow decided to put on a heart-warming, tear-jerking play, “Foxfire.” in spring. In it Annie Na- tions lived with the acerbic ghost of her dead husband Hector. Her tran- quility was threatened by a land de- veloper and concern for son Dillard. Her future was played out in a series of funny and touching flashbacks. A banquet was held on April 26 at the Redwood to recognize the achievements of Masque and Bau- ble members. Guest speaker was school board member Allen Ji- cinsky.
