Putting It Together Yearbook staff at KJCK.

SITTING: Jeanette Erichsen, Mary Liz Deppish, Kathy Vuono, Karen Robinson. This year the members of the staff were assigned to certain sections of the book, with one person designated as the section editor. The addition of these positions, especially the photo editor (Tim Vuono) took some of the pressure off the editor-in- chief (Karen Robinson). Miss Satterlee added that she felt more compe- tent this year after having a year of experience be- hind her. With the exception of the editor, the entire staff was inexperienced in yearbooking. But accord- ing to Miss Satterlee they all learned quickly and were willing to revise un- til the work was done cor- rectly. The event that really kicked off the year was a workshop held July 25-28 at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas. Seven of the 17 members of the staff were able to attend. It helped them to learn what making a yearbook is all about. New darkroom equip- ment boosted the morale of the photographers and improved the quality of the photos. Uh One . . . Uh Two . .

Senior English students Regina Schmutz, Patty Eastham and Tony As bury, labor over compositions. Seniors are caught in a moment of silence as they read 1 'Youth'', by Conrad, while visions of Sister Ann dance in their heads. Beowulf, Glass Mena- gerie, iambic pentameter, complex sentences and de- tailed compositions were a few of the things juniors and seniors became very familiar with in English III and IV. This course was taught by St. X veteran, Sister Ann. She started both classes with litera- ture. In the juniors' study of American literature, they read units of poetry, drama and short stories. Seniors read famous selec- tions in English literature and studied poetry from famous poets from past centuries to the present day. Grammar followed litera- ture with students review- ing parts of speeches, learning about sentence patterns, and reviewing punctuation and captializa- tion. Students applied those grammar skills when they began writing the four dif- ferent types of composi- tions: Reasons, Examples, Details, and Comparision and Contrast. Juniors and Seniors who took English found it very helpful when they took the Armed Forces test, the PASTNMSQT test, and the ACT test. diligently on one of their many English assignments.

Art: A Growing And Fascinating Class Art has proven to be a very popular class be- cause for the past two years Mrs. Moloney has had exceptionally large classes. This year her largest class was Art 1, consisting mostly of freshmen. In Art I she taught the basics of draw- Mrs. Moloney offers Kim Charowhas some comments about her drawing. ing and some macrame. Some projects that Art II, III, and IV completed were wood cut prints, jewelry making, rug hook- ing, weaving, painting, and drawing. During the year Mrs. Moloney planned special projects for her classes. All of her students enjoyed going out to the country to draw, and bringing items such as motorcycles and tricycles into the class- room to draw. She also took her Art II and III classes to the Topeka Art Museum and Craft Show. Each year she invites a guest artist to demon- strate different types of art. During the 1977-'78 school year Mrs. Moloney supervised Jane Hall, a student teacher from KSU. Miss Hall did most of her student teaching in the Ju- nior High. Mrs. Moloney plans to have a student teacher again this year. Jim Reno works diligently on a ' 'setup'' drawing in Art IV.
