Lance Editors CATCHING a breath of fresh air between yearbook deadlines are editors Linda Eimer ’68 and Mary Lynn Nacearato '68. BRUCE SMITH ’68 one of the 191 sub- scribers to the SHIELD, receives his issue from sports editor Rose Puhr ’68. DEADLINES, LAY-OUTS, PASTE- ups, and camera techniques introduced journalists to the publication world. Under the direction of Sr. M. Lo- retta and the leadership of student editors, staff members studied the theory and art of paper and yearbook publication and learned to calculate F stops and shutter speeds on the new Yashica Camera. End of the year activities included tours, a banquet, and a dance. Student journalists visited the Inter-Collegiate Press where the LANCE is printed. Another tour took them to the North Kansas City Dispatch to become ac- quainted with the off-set printing of the SHIELD. At a banquet, LANCE editor, Mary Lynn Nacearato and SHIELD editor, Cathy Powers announced the ’68-’69 editors. On May 25th, the department sponsored a dance to raise money to defray photography expenses. ENJOYING a brief recess from the tedious job of editing the SHIELD are: Rose Puhr ’68, sports editor; Rita Robertson ’69, feature editor; Cathy Powers '68, editor in chief, news ed- itor and Kathy Gerghty ’68 culture editor. 39
