Staff overcomes inexperience Who knows what to do? No one? For the first time not one student had been involved in the production of the Bagpipe during the prior year. l was worried about hav- ing such a high position, but it made me feel better that l wasn't the only per- son without any exper- ience, said Kathy Stout, co-editor-in-chief. lnexperience took its toll particularly during the first few issues of the weekly newspaper. Common phrases heard in the office of B221 were You mean we have to paste up already? We just did layout yester- day. Don't we get any free time in here? I have to write another story? This week's issue hasn't even been printed yet. What am I going to do with this ten-inch air space? Dave! Dave Mosele was called upon often not only be- cause of his art ability, but also because whenever an empty space appeared, he could always come up with a cartoon or drawing rel- evant to almost any story. lt never bothered me be- ing called on so often be- cause it was fun drawing the cartoons. l never knew that the cartoonist position was so important, said Dave. While a lot of work was done during class time, planning was done every Monday morning before school. We all agreed to come in the moming be- cause it was the only time that we could get everyone together: most people had to work after school, said Lisa Shipe, news editor. However, the inexperi- ence was overcome and the staff became a well-orga- nized working unit that pro- duced 25 issues, including three that were eight pages. Bagpipe 115

Creativity flows to B204 'Q' 5 551, X 5. 3 . X . X . . .sig Q . Q . . si T E w . Creativity found an outlet for publication in the liter- ary magazine, the Talis- man, which consisted of short stories, poems, draw- ings, sketches, and photo- graphs. The most rewarding part of Talisman was when a person bought the book. When I saw a face light up when they read and saw the works, it made me realize all of our hard work and time had not been wasted, said Kevin Fromer, senior. Editors Janet Harding and Kevin with the help of the staff evaluated the works submitted by stu- dents, chose the best of the submissions, and put the books together. I've worked with Kevin and Ja- net for four years so I felt that choosing them as co- editors was the right idea. I was impressed with the way that through both of their busy schedules they found the time to lit in the Talis- man, stated Miss Carole Reiher, sponsor. The Talisman was sup- ported by fund-raising ac- tivities including the sales of the books and mums during Homecoming week. The fund raisers really helped to lower the cost of printing and publishing the Talisman, stated Janet, senior. Displaying creativity through writing and pic- tures was the main goal of the Talisman. iiif -flff-515555. f Q., . 5.25.
