An inexperienced staff learned the ropes of pub- lishing a not so regular newspaper under the patient direction for the faculty sponsor, Mrs. Orton. The Countdown was the result of many hectic days spent preparing it. Student artists were drafted to create imagi- native cartoons while young writers, talents were sorely tested as they penned out features and news articles. Typists helped with the creative aspects of the newspaper as well as punching out words on A the keyboard. On October 20th, a few of the Countdown staff members attended a Journalism Clinic at the ,W eyyei ., sy University of Nebraska. Professors of Journalism il'Y 'si' I at the University gave numerous lectures on ways to 5 x improve a school newspaper. . ei e Co-editors of the Countdown, are Ann For- . manack and Diana Schneider. The whole staff put in .yer 1 I t 1 . , i a hard year's work, but the satisfaction of doing a good job overshadowed the difficulties. i i f It Q- fi C0-editors Ann Formanack and Diana Schneider go over layout with Advisor, Mrs. Marlene Orton.
