This is ready for final typ- ing. At last - no more re- writes. Finalization of copy some- times took three of four re- writes tif luckyt, and when copy was done, it was time to begin again on the next as- signment. The copy style was created when Editor Shelly Oakes and Assistant Editor Patty Hickey took a course of yearbook- ing at Indiana University dur- ing the summer. Yearbook camp helped us think of the theme 'A Little More Pride.' We spent hours with the camp counselors and racked our brains trying to come up with one. Camp also gave us a chance to learn about new graphic tech- niques, stated Patty. When staff members as- sembled in the fall, they found that the Piper office had been moved across the hall to ac- commodate the Division I of- fice. The new office was larger and had more storage area. Having the office across the hall from the classroom caused some communications problems, but the more spa- cious facility enabled all ofthe staff to work in the same room at the same time, said Shelly. Due to schedule conflicts with singletons, the staff was scheduled anywhere from 3rd through 6th period. Organiza- tion was put to the test as edi- tors found ways to direct their sections. I had to stay after school and come in during my lunch all the time to meet with the other section editors and go over plans, said Judy Gawlik, copy co-editor. After six deadlines and late working sessions, the Piper was complete and the staff re- flected on their work with a lit- tle more pride.

i. M, VA iw. 4' ff so-.Ngn 'VV s Lxki,.:S!'Ar , fttxx New office, staff continues weekly new nameplate, a new office, and a new staff! The Bagpipe with all its changes published 26 issues, including four that contained eight pages. The newspaper had an up- dated Iook, highlighted by a change in the nameplate and new folio lines. We wanted to add a more modern look to the Bagpipe. At camp at Indi- ana University we came up with some super ideas for new graphics and stories, com- mented Marnie Murphy, edi- tor-in-chief. Another change was the re- location of the newspaper of- fice. Because of the division concept, Mr. Larry Corley, as- sistant principal, had his office moved to B-221, where the Bagpipe office had been for the last 25 years. Consequent- ly, the staff operated out of B- 200. lt was much easier to work in the new office because it was much larger, giving us more room to be organized, said La Chon Cunningham, assistant news editor. Most of the staff members had not worked on the Bag- pipe before this year. Howev- er, this did not affect the weekly publication of the pa- per. Frank Flatkus, assistant editor-in-chief was one of the many staff members who had not had any previous exper- ience. At first I was con- cerned about having such a high position, because of my lack of experience, but after the first couple of issues, I re- gained my confidence, he stated. For the first time in the histo- ry of the newspaper, the first issue was delayed because of a computer breakdown. As a result, the newspaper was published as an 8-page issue one week late. With the changes towards a modern look, the Bagpipe continued a tradition of award winning excellence.
