Sprayberry High School - Echo Yearbook (Marietta, GA)

Page 176 text:

Sprayberry's STINGER staff is made up of dedicated writers who keep the student body informed and enter- tained. Ms. Patterson states, Only the cream of the crop is selected for the staff. An individual must first take journalism before he or she can become a member of the staff. The staff tries to cover every important school-related event. The staff also puts out an issue of the STINGER approximately every four weeks. Getting an issue ready to go to the printer is not an easy job. The students must write the articles, then have them proofread, typed, proofread again, and glued onto the layout page. For every story, there must be a headline, and for every picture a caption. No other public high school has a free newspaper. Thanks to the members who sell ads to local busin- esses, the STINGER staff makes enough money to let the student body receive the papers with no charge. Ms. Wanda Patterson, STINGER sponsor, devotes many hours of her time to perfect the newspaper. She assigns the stories, and proofreads them. She will even type when the articles file has been overloaded. WORKlNG PATIENTLY, Jeanne Strudthoff and Joe Deffranks think up some new ideas. It was brains like these that made each issue of the STINGER both informative and entertaining. if MS. PATTERSON. STINGER sponsor, tells Susan Bedgood what her next assignment will be for the upcoming deadline. Ms Patterson assigns and proofreads all articles before they are typed. Right: TYPlNG DlLlGENTLY, Jennifer Ramsey tries to complete her asslgnment before the deadline. Typing is agreed upon as being the most nerve-racking and frustrating task in putting an Issue together, as an article must be typed two or three times before it is completed. K 2
